I could not do without the Stampin’ Up! Labels Collection Framelits, as well as all of the Stampin’ Up!’s framelits, as well as the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. To me, the Labels Collection Framelits and all of the other framelits are must-have tools for creating paper crafts. The Labels Collection Framelits may be designed to cut certain stamp cut images, but they certainly may be used for other purposes.
The card share for you today features the Labels Collection Framelits and Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set. To use the Labels Collection Framelits, you will need the Big Shot, its multipurpose platform (Tab 1), and standard cutting pads. Below are instructions for making this card.
