A frame fits around your photos, generally providing a stronger and thicker separation between the photo and the background than a traditional mat. Frame dies come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including the stitched ones pictured above. Check out some additional examples below.
How cute are these hearts? We love the tiny holes surrounding the hearts to replicate the idea of
stitches. This set is perfect for weddings and new babies, but it is also good for anything you love ... pets, cars, kids, or even coffee.

Scallop Frames
Scallop frames add a unique, feminine touch to your layout. They work great with travel and
garden pictures, like those shown here. But they also work well with school pages, holidays, wedding and family reunions. The versatile dies even double as a journaling block.
Ovals are great for creating a focal point on the layout. Their shape naturally works well
for school photos, as well as vertical photos. This set comes with a die to cut the thin mat that separates the photo from the frame so you can choose really fun pattern paper for the frame.
Arches are another "go-to" frame. They work beautifully with travel, architecture, weddings,
gardens and family portraits.

Arch Frames 3x5 & 2x3
These arches are a slightly different size. We love how they are repeated along the bottom of the
layout. It's a simple, easy-to-work-with shape that adds a big "wow" to the layout.
Circles are a great way to break up all of the hard lines on a page. This set comes with a die to
make a thin mat inside the frame, as well as the flowers. It's a great value.
We love the stitches frames so much, we're showing them again. Here, Paije used a small
needle and thread to make real stitches inside the holes on the die cuts. Amazing!
