The smooth texture makes it ideal for stamping, as shown with the coordinating stamp sets used in the project.

In the video, Jana shows how these dies can be used to create interesting borders, decorative strips, and focal points that add visual interest and professional-looking details. The high-quality metal dies are compatible with most die-cutting machines and work beautifully with both the patterned papers from the Main Kit and the solid cardstocks. This set is perfect for adding those custom touches that make your projects unique and personalized.
