There is a sneak peek in the card of one January’s new release dies! That Honeycomb die is going to be a must have! It cuts so wonderful and its a great detail for cards! I use some cheese cloth, wood veneer leaves, Wild Orchid Craft flowers, a retired tag die from Whimsy Stamps, and some flags from my stash!

Just Because

LDRS Just Because 2.jpg

Hey everyone! I am back with another post for LDRS Creative!

I have always loved making cards with only sentiments, I have been doing fewer and fewer of them. But LDRS had some fantastic sentiment  sets that work so perfect for these types of cards! I used the Just Because set for this card!

I embossed the sentiment on vellum and die cut it out with the Basic Stitched Flags Dies, lots of paper layers, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, enamel dots, and cheese cloth finished off this card!
