Let’s Get Squared Up – From Rectangle to Square Card
I always want to get the most out of my die templates, so I thought about taking a large rectangle card front and squaring it up to give it a different look.

This die takes a panel of paper and miters it into four identical pieces. You want to do this with a symmetrical…
