framed florets, special person

Happy New Year, Everyone! This lovely bundle is seriously one of my new favorites out of the upcoming mini catalog (begins Jan 5, 2023!!!). I liked this set when I purchased it, but I loved it once I got to start playing with it! I adore the oval frames and the intricate embossing. It’s classic vintage, and the frames look amazing cut out in foil paper, as shown above. Don’t even get me started on the gorgeous font for the sentiments! Love! By-the-way, I got inspiration for this fun fold using designer series paper from fellow demonstrator, Tami White.
