Welcome to Friday, friends! We made it through a busy week here at SCT headquarters packing our Crop & Create Delivered Cardmaking event boxes! We know many of you have received your shipping notifications, so it’s time to start stalking your delivery truck!

We’re also excited about the release of new products this week, including those from our friends at LDRS Creative. Have you seen their new Spring Collection? It’s worth clicking over to their shop, but first, let’s hear about a few highlights!

Hello, everyone! It’s Friday and we at LDRS Creative are super excited to share our new Spring Collection with all of our friends at SCT! This new collection is big, bold, and beautiful! These products can be used for all occasions, any time of the year. Today we are featuring a few of the new dies with you! The beauty of these is that you can easily combine them with other LDRS Creative products and other goodies already in your craft stash!  They are perfect for scrapbooking and will be the centerpiece of all of your cards.

The Home Design and Foliage Add-On dies will allow you to ‘design’ your own home creation! Choose your custom colors, architect your home, and even style the landscape! They’re the perfect addition to scrapbook layouts, new home cards, or home for the holidays! The Home Design die set is designed for easy layering, and with the Foliage Add-On set you can add flower pots to the front step, a tree in the yard, clouds in the sky and so much more!

The Large Flower dies are bold and beautiful!  They are sized for individual use, but can also be layered for gorgeous dimension.  They’re perfect on their own or combined with our fresh and modern new frame dies, like the Delicate Stitches Scalloped Rectangles. Add a sentiment and a few of the other flower dies from LDRS Creative!  Have fun paper piecing them with patterned paper—the new My Favorite Things paper pack would be stunning.

You asked for it and we have added ANOTHER Big Word die to our collection! The Big Word Beautiful die set is just that: B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! It even has a shadow die for easy layering. This die set is perfect for any paper craft project that you have in mind. Use it on its own, or combine it with any of our popular Sentiment Stack stamps and dies to craft your custom message.

Be sure to check out the full Spring Collection to find your new favorites! To celebrate this release, we’d love to share a gift card giveaway!
