There are so many different products in this collection, there’s something for everyone! I was especially drawn to the new layered dies, they are fabulous!

Video Friday | Create a Stencil using Die Cuts with Kelly Latevola
Hello Crafters! Today we are trying something a little different with our die cuts. The Lovely Lilac die comes with two dies an outline layer and an intricate flower.

Once I was done I removed the stencil and started in with my copic markers. I added a drop shadow…
