I absolutely love this edger die from Frantic Stamper. It looks very soft and delicate, but it is quite strong! I've never had any of the design fail on cardstock (I do use Neenah Solar White for the card base). Here is a materials list for this card-

1. Dies: scalloped vine edger (Frantic Stamper), poinsettia (Spellbinders-but here is pages and pages of Poinsettias), be merry sentiment (Classic Holiday Words-Pink Fresh Studios)

Frantic Stamper Loopy Edger

 

 Are We All FRANTIC STAMPERs This Month?

     

 Prize: Frantic Stamper has provided two wonderful dies!

  

Here is my project- 

 And a bonus card-

These cards were quick and easy to make up, and I gave them out on Thanksgiving this year. I used a regular A2 card base, and cut one edge using the Lovely Loop Edger by Frantic Stamper. I used it again on my printed cardstock and glued it to the front, then trimmed. Easy Peasy! I stamped the sentiment using Autumn by Hero Arts, and the turkey was an Impression Obsession die.

My poor sister. Her daughter passed away on July 14, 2024. Then she had to put her old dog Tigger down on Aug. 1, 2024. Tigger was a pitbull, and was 17 1/2 years old. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. Here are the materials I used to make this card-

1.  Dies: Circle Fold Frame (Poppystamps), Lattice Small Curb (Poppystamps), Adriana Small Curve Border (Poppystamps), Inside Out Stitched Circles (My Favorite Things). I found the Poppystamps dies are retired, but available at other retailers.
