Tips uit de show

• You can make this design into a fridge magnet by using craft card and attaching a magnet to the back instead of mounting it on a card.
• The nesting dies make it easy to create the layered frame effect with consistent sizing.
• Don't worry if the glue squashes out slightly between layers; you can trim it away afterwards.
