Would like to know which size rectangle die I used on this post and future ones? They are FREE with a purchase of the Stitched Rectangle Framelits using my Hostess Code (top right hand corner of blog). Anytime I post a project using these dies, you will receive a PDF with the measurements and each respective rectangle die used. Along with your die purchase, you will receive my storage and layout pictorial.

EMAIL me for more information.  This offer expires on March 31, 2019.

Your friendship........

I was originally inspired on Pinterest to make THIS card.  However, because of the placement of the rectangle cut out, the only bird showing on the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper was light brown.  I did not want to color the stamped bird image that color.

Time to say goodbye......

I am leaving my cherished United Methodist Women sisters next month.  My husband and I purchased a home near our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters.  It's time to me to be a full-time grandma.

I leave behind many friends and as a thank you for their friendship, I created a bookmark for all of them.

Storage Tip for Stitched Rectangle Framelits

I am loving Stampin' Up!'s newest die set - Stitched Rectangle Framelits.  I decided to share how I store these dies.

• Rectangle Stitched Framelits #148551
• I numbered them with a fine tip Sharpie
• Number 1 is the largest
• Full Wide Stamp Case #127551
• I use this larger size case to also hold my Large Letter Framelits
• Magnetic Sheet
• Home Depot vent covers
• Cut to 7" x 5"
• One small strip for the back
• Cardboard backing 7" x 5"
• Cardstock in various sizes
• Small binder clips
• Printed details on paper and cut size *

* I only measured the finished dies to the closest eighths.  Sixteenth inches are harder to count.

Please consider me when you select your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I provide measurements on all my projects for free.  If you enter the hostess code at the top right-hand side of my blog, my name comes up in your Shopping Cart.  The PDF file is free HERE.  If you download this, please consider placing a Stampin' Up! order with me using my Hostess Code.
