I love the Iconic Imagery stamp and die set because it can be used all year round. There are 3 different ways to use the images.
- Heat emboss the image in gold, silver or whatever color!
- Use the dies or scissors to cut out the image from the Iconic Celebrations DSP.
- Use the 2-step stamps to create images with dimension.
