W elcome to another jam-packed issue of Die-cutting Essentials. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Crafter’s Companion once again to bring you this month’s stunning Roses die. It’s absolutely perfect for your year-round makes, and you can see ideas for using it throughout the magazine. Plus you can download the co-ordinating papers and toppers below.
