We are excited to bring you Betsy's new Noted die collection, this one creates a scalloped A2 vertically oriented card, plus four addition stitched/scalloped frames and mats. She has created this to not only be versatile, but also economical. To create a full A2 card with the largest die, just line up the score line on the die with the fold of your card front, run through your die machine, then flip it around and do a second run to cut the back. It is easy to use and saves you money too!
