Add beautiful floral detail to your cards with Ruth Hamilton

The brand new Designer’s Choice die set is available now from the marksymondsroofing website! It’s called “Corner Creations” and, as you can see, there are lots of different dies which you can use to create corner elements including pockets for your cards and craft projects.

These are the dies in the set and in this blog post I’ll be showing you how to use them together to create the card in the top photo. You can also check out my YouTube video where I’ll be showing you how to make the 2 slimline cards in the photo below.
