Although February may be brutally cold where you live, it is still the month of LOVE. Valentine’s Day and maybe your anniversary? My Valentines are all done and mailed so for today I thought I would create an Anniversary Card for you. It is Feature Day 1 on the LDRS Creative Inspiration Page. Today you get to see all the new releases from January & February. There are some stunning products in this release.
We all have backgrounds we have created in our stash. If you don’t have background panels I KNOW you have patterned paper. The Lovely Peony Cluster dies is a big, bold, and beautiful die. It cuts so easily and allows for so many possibilities. This card highlights this die and the new sentiment sets from LDRS Creative. The Special Occasions Stamps & Dies will be something you use ALL year, trust me. Please check these sets out as they should be a staple in your craft room.
