Someone (I can't remember who!) made a card and mentioned that she learned the mitered corner technique from Becca's tutorial at Amazing Paper Grace. Becca always has such unique ideas! I didn't have her punch, but discovered that with a little adjusting, other border or insert punches could also be used as mitered corner frames.
I made the frame without measuring, and it turned out a little bigger than an A2 card, so I fudged on the fold and added a scallop edge border inside to even up the edges. I used leaves to cover up the little adjustments at the corners. What remains visible doesn't look that bad, does it?
I also adapted Becca's 3d flutter-by technique to the lower right attachment. In fact, I've been making everything I can into 3d flutter embellies. What fun!
This card qualifies for Ways to Use It WT325 to use die cuts.

Great job with that frame! Who needs measuring, anyway?!
