LDRS Creative is thrilled to feature our With Affection Collection! This collection is a celebration of love, friendship, and the cherished moments spent with family.
You’ll find a range of exquisite Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates that are designed to add a touch of love and warmth to your craft projects. Let’s see some examples using some of our favorite Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates!
project by Ilina Crouse
Our Clematis Impress-ino Press + Foil Plate features a realistic portrayal of a beautiful clematis bloom. The delicacy of the petals and leaves are sure to catch your eye! Ilina Crouse created a project that practically POPS off the page! She pressed the Clematis Press + Foil Plate off the corner of an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel and added light and breezy watercolor to color the image. She finished off her project with one of our versatile Love & Friendship Sentiments Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates.
project by Sam Olden
The Sweetheart Floral Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate and Coordinating Layering Stencils are some of our most popular products! We are AMAZED by Sam’s creative card! She took the Sweetheart Floral Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate and pressed it into an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel and used bright blue, purple, pink, and green inks to add color with the Sweetheart Floral Layering Stencils – 2 Pack. She then stretched her image by cutting it in half and adding it to the top and bottom of her black and silver card. SIMPLY GENIUS!
project by Carol Weatherspoon
Don’t be afraid to step outside of the box! Carol used the Elegant Rectangle Frame Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate BRILLIANTLY to create a piece of home decor that would look fabulous on a mantel or bookcase. This monochromatic masterpiece would even be the perfect gift for a family member or friend. She pressed the Elegant Rectangle Frame Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate and a sentiment from the Love & Friendship Sentiments Press + Foil Plates into an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel. The adorable house is a stamped image from the Family Collage 4×6 Stamps. All that’s left is to find the perfect frame for your project!
project by Lynnea Hollendonner
It’s easy to create fresh and bright cards with the Tutti Fruiti Impress-ion Press + Foil Plates! Lynnea pressed each one of the images into an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel and used alcohol markers to color each of the delicious fruits. This set of Press+ Foil Plates comes with coordinating dies that beautifully cut out each of the fruits. Lynnea kept the rest of her cards simple by adding the colored images onto mini notecards with a basket-weave style background. Who wouldn’t love to receive this set as a gift?!
project by Ilina Crouse
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Let’s wrap things up by sharing some inspiration perfect for celebrating love! Ilina used a soft pink ink with the Cupid’s Arrow Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate and gold ink with the Classic Hex Frame Impress-ion Press + Foil Plate to press the images into an A2 Cotton Watercolor Panel. She finished her card with a simple sentiment from the With Affection Collage 4×6 Stamps and some shiny embellishments. This design would be perfect for mass production if you’re short on time!

Beautiful products and cards! I don’t have a best friend, but I do have several wonderful friends I’ve met over the years thanks to cardmaking. They’re supportive, kind and generous. Often they will offer me something they’re not going to need from their stash or they’ll send me diecuts and panels of specialty paper. Life wouldn’t be the same without them!
My best friend and I have known each other since we were 4, and even though she lives in a different state, we still find time to connect through texts and calls and the occasional visit.
My best friend is warm and wonderful and supportive. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My best friend is my cousin and is very supportive and always there for me. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Wonderful projects using products from a fabulous company. I am lucky to live with my best friend since he is my husband.
Wow- such gorgeous cards! Loving the foiling. Besides my daughter, my best friend is from a group of friends whose husbands worked together many years ago. Even though our kids are now grown, and we live 8 hours away, we talk and e-mail constantly. We lean on each other as needed. Everyone needs someone like that. Thank you for the chance.
I love the fruit slimline cards! I have a few very close friends, but I consider my mom my best friend. She’s always there for me and I can tell her just about everything.
I have the best best friend! She’s crafty like me, crazy like me, supportive like me, and a great travel buddy too!
My best friend is my older sister! We just returned from a week long holiday together and it was fabulous. It was much needed by both of us. When we’re together, we have loads of belly laughs, maybe a few tears but just an amazing time together. I’m so very blessed that she only lives a short travel distance away from me!
So beautiful!!! My best friend is amazing! Such a kind heart! She is one of the many reasons I smile!
I have a few best friends, each living in different parts of the country where I have lived. Love all 3 of them equally and each one is very different than the other.
I have 3 of the Impress-ion plates in my scrapbook.com basket.
Gorgeous cards and very different. I love my daughter Chloé she’s my best friend, she’s a hoot to be around and such a great Mom to her kiddies
I learned about LDRS Creative through the SCT Deivered card classes. Great company.
My best friend is always there to listen when I need to talk.
I am a new widow, so my best friends are, my 2 Shih Tzu’s. Max and Charlie. They are brother and sister. ❤️ We adopted them a few years ago from a shelter. They are my precious fur baby friends.
Gorgeous cards and a wonderful collection from LDRS. I have many friends throughout the world but my best friend happens to be my sister. There are four years between us (I’m the oldest) but that never stopped us from being friends. We are very supportive of each other even though we are separated by three provinces. We talk almost everyday and make each other laugh to the point of needing the washroom to be extremely close to us. There’s a saying out there…’Thick as Thieves’….that’s my sister and I…I love my baby sister!
Wonderful projects!
I have friends I moved over 1500 Kim’s away from to live with my mom.
We try to all get together the one or two times a year I go to see my daughter & her little family.
It usually includes a pot luck picnic in a cabin by the river, wine, and LOTS of laughs!
Love the card with Cupid.
All are great. thanks for sharing
Love this new collection, such pretty flowers! My husband is my best friend!
Beautiful cards with these pretty LDRS designs!
My best friend is a craft pal who I love to attend stamp events with! We have plans coming up in a couple of months to attend a big craft sale annual event that’s about 90 minutes away. We’ll make a day of it at the sale, and go out to lunch. Looking forward to it!
Some of my best friends are my crafty friends. I love the time we spend together crafting and chatting. It’s so rejuvenating!
Lovely products, thanks for the chance to win! I am lucky to have married my best friend – my husband.
Such gorgeous products. I just love LDRS and their designs!!
My best friend (my husband) passed away a little over 5 years ago. He is missed! It’s been a journey to try and figure out who I am without him but I can say that papercrafting has certainly helped me through some of the loneliness and heartbreak. I have joined several online paper crafting communities like yours and they have helped to fill some of my time and fuel my creativity. I love your online events, not only for the content and product but for the community you provide with it! Thank you❤️
So much fun, love all the plate options. My crafty besties are Dona and Angela, they are still scrapbooking, but love seeing the cards I have been making.
My best friend is my husband! We so so many fun things together. My scrapbooking and paper making best friend is my friend I have had since I was 13. We get together as much as we can to talk, craft and share creative ideas! Thank you !
I have a few crafty friends but my husband is my best friend.
My best friend is amazing! She makes me laugh and is supportive. She keeps me grounded. I’m very lucky to have her in my life.
Gorgeous cards and an amazing collection from LDRS!! My best friend is my husband.
I met my best friend many moons ago, when we were roommates back in my first year of university! Though we were only in the same city for 8 months and life took us to different provinces we have maintained a very close relationship and our families have grown up together through the years. She was a scrapbooker way before I ever got it to it. (And of course she is responsible for turning me into a collector of all paper crafting necessities. 😉) She is a true friend and has been there for the good times as well as the challenging times. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful friend. Thanks to technology we FaceTime regularly and scrapbook together between our in person visits. You don’t know how many times I have had to explain on my trip home to airport security why I have so many papers in my carry on. Lol
My best friend, Donna, is a remarkable person. She is always ready to listen and offer support.
What a pretty collection of products! My crafty friends are my best friends. They are so supportive and always inspire me. They’re always willing to share supplies, and I with them. Not a day goes by without a visit with them.
Gorgeous cards and nice collection.
My best friend would do anything for me and has stood by my side through much, never giving up on me even when I wasn’t really keeping in contact with her. She is still my best friend today.
Lovely cards! I consider my husband my best friend, he is always very supportive! 🥰
Wonderful products. I’ve known my best friend since 9th grade. We live far apart, but we are close at heart.
Hi All! My Bestie and I LOVE to craft together so much that we will spend any amount of time (a few hours, to a few days even) making projects at each other’s homes!! We each have a designated “scrap room” where the magic happens! Sleep overs can still be fun times as adults! We also go on trips with a group of ladies to a house in Pine City, MN every Spring! Happy crafting!
Hard to name one best friend – I feel like I have different kinds of friends. If I had to pick one, it’d probably be my husband. That sounds boring. But we’ve been together for so long, and I still enjoy him and the time we spend together. Don’t know what I’d do without him.
LDRS is a favorite. I love their ledger stamps too. I’ve tried their first impress-ion plates and love them. These latest plates – especially Cupid are amazing! Also I love their cotton water color cardstock.
My best friend is my husband. He has a much different craft than mine but supports me in every way and loves all my creations. Thanks for a chance to win, Love all your collections and tips and tricks.
Love the projects and thank you for the chance to win! My best friend is my husband – we’ve been together almost 40 years!
My best friend of 50 years has lived in so many different cities so we do not connect all that often due to the time difference but when we do its just like we spoke to each other yesterday.
My best friend is my baby sister!
My best crafty friend introduced me to this type of scrapbooking at at local crop and that led to us both attending Crop and creat events together too. She had enabled the obsession for the past 20 years ! Simply the best !
What a fabulous collection. So well thought out and so pretty. I have several friends that I think would qualify so hard to pick just one person. They are all special in their own way! Thanks for the chance to win :)
My best friend is my mom! The best encourager and a very positive light.
My crafty bestie bought me a lilac glass mat for Christmas and I just got it. She’s the one who introduced me to card making and knows my favorite color is purple. We don’t get together often enough but I treasure the time when we do!
I looked everywhere last year for a cupid to put on card. I love that he has appeared at LDRS Creative.
My best friend is a terrific, lovely gal! She doesn’t do paper crafting at all – I know that’s surprising – but she constantly cheers me on & tells me how great my cards are! 🤭 She moved out of province a few years ago when her husband retired but that hasn’t interrupted things for us. We just meet, chat & laugh over FT – usually for hours at a time!! She’s my Sister from another mother! Thanks for the chance to win…… 👍🏻🫶🏻✨
My best friend is my husband, Mike. He knows me best and puts up with all my crafty habits. We’ve been together 43 years. I’m lucky.
My best friend and I have been told that we look like sisters.
I have several BFFs! One that I have known since I was 10 years old and we still get together for lunch at least once a month. We also text each other encouraging messages often. Another is my crafting BFF that I have known for over 15 years. We live far apart now, but still talk on the phone several times a month plus send each other cards. And then I have my work BFF who made my work week fly by. We had so much fun together. We are still in touch and I even drove 500 miles to her wedding last summer. So there you have it in a nut shell!
