I’m thrilled to share two projects using LF-132 Grand Rectangles, LF-133 Grand Scalloped Rectangles, and a set that is part of the new Samantha Walker Designer Collection S5-073 Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents!  Below you will see two projects made with die templates from all three sets.

A Back to School Layout

This layout came together easily once I die cut the frame using LF-132 Grand Rectangles and LF-133 Grand Scalloped Rectangles (as seen in the video) and then popped it up on the layout using 3D foam.  Once the photo and frame were in place, all that was left to do was embellish.  I used the leaves, labels, and flourish that come with S5-073 Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents to finish off the layout.  

Note:  All cutting and embossing was done using the Grand Calibur™ Machine.
