Have I Told You Today...

Valentine's Day is approaching quickly and the fun new Tiled Blooms Metal Stencil (FMS4085), paired with the new Circular Messages PCS (SSC1276) from the Stampendous January 2018 release help create a sweet card for that special someone in your life!


This week the Stampendous Design Team is sharing designs that also feature the versatile new Texture Cube stamps released in January. Each cube has four designs to chose from. My card uses the Quest Texture Cube (TC58) to help create a background for the my card.  It also uses a sweet flower ribbon border from the Spring Border Die Set (DCP1009). This die set will be our featured product next week, so be sure to stop back for more samples!
