Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.

4. Adhere the photo corner cut outs to the corners of the designer paper rectangle as shown depending on if you want a landscape or portrait orientation for your card.

5. Adhere the matted designer paper rectangle with photo corners attached to the front of the Fresh Freesia card.

6. Pick out the open oval frame die from the Fabulous Frames Dies.
