Use concentric dies to create a “frame die-cut technique” as a background for cardmaking. You don’t have to invest in the new THIN FRAME DIES that are being advertised by some craft suppliers. Here is the fastest and easiest way to create this concentric background.

I started out just going through my scrap file and selected five colors. I used the Stitched Shape Circle Dies and cut-out all the concentric rings for each color. I used the excess card stock (negative space) to mat the concentric rings with All-Purpose glue after running through with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Lastly, add the Foam Adhesive Sheets to Black cardstock, and cut out with word dies for the perfect card!
