There are many fabulous samples utilizing the dies as they were intended, but I went simpler and created this.
I took the largest outside frame die and partial die cut a piece of Bristol paper on one end. Flipped the die to the other end, lined it up with the notches on the sides and partial die cut that end and done.
Next, on a light pink A2 size panel, spotlight ink blended Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves distress inks. Dried the inked panel completely with my heat tool before heat embossing the sentiment from this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month with white embossing powder. Assembled the card onto a white card base then embellished with a few pearls to finish.
As I was cleaning up, I had a thought and wondered if the inside arch die could be partially die cut as well. I gave it a try and it worked beautifully!
A pretty circle doily-like piece resulted and I used it to create a clean and simple (CAS) birthday card.
Ink blended with the same distress inks and white heat embossed a different sentiment from the same stamp set made this quick and easy.

It's really a beautiful die set full of amazing designs, and you have extended them too! Wow! I have never thought to partial diecut one of these frames and double it to make something different! Both the cards are very elegant, and love the arch you transformed in a pretty doily!! Great choice of colours, that mauve looks so vibrant!

Fabulous spotlight ink blending, Trina! And I love how you stretched the use of the die-set. Partially die-cutting the inside arch is clever! The white doily with the pink sentiment panel is so pretty!!
