Along with all of the fun new gift-giving products and tools - we have a couple of basic must-have tools. That may sound boring - but I have to explain that I say that as the ultimate compliment. I love trendy and unique products, but I get absolutely giddy over basics that I know I can use over and over. Products that make my cardmaking life easier - but still add style. That's what I want to show you today.
First up are the Inside Scallop Circle Stacklets.

Isn't that a fun way to frame the bouquet of flowers??
I used the scallop die to cut directly into my card front. Then I used a smaller sized circle from the Stitched Circle Stacklet (previously released) to cut the inside circle into an Earl Grey panel so that the scallops were highlighted.

The bouquet of flowers is from the previously released Fall Florals and Fall Florals dies. I added a teeny tiny butterfly from In Flight Overlays with metallic cardstock and gave it some texture with the Brick Embossing Folder.

We also have a new set of rectangles - the Inside Scallop Rectangle Stacklets!!
Here's the true power of these Inside Scallop die sets. The scallops aren't frames - they are stand alones. I used it as a stand alone to cut into the my card front on the first card. BUT they can be frames because they are sized perfectly to pair with the Stitched Stacklets - in this case the Stitched Rectangle Stacklet. If you wanted to do it with the circles is the Stitched Circle Stacklets.
Here's the Inside Scallop Rectangle used as a frame with the Stitched Rectangles.

These two cards are exactly why I call these must-have basics. The first card is a bit more elegant with a bouquet of flowers. This card is bright and whimsical. The Inside Scallops add style to each one!!

The image is from the previously released B is for Birthday. Then I added some strips from the brand new Playful Patterns - Bold paper pack!
