Whimsical Wishes

I fell in love with this set by Taylored Expressions! It includes many flowers and sentiments; perfect for Spring cards!  This sentiment, however, is from a Hero Arts set that I've had for a long time!  Perfect for someone like me who likes to keep their options open!

I used the die that's also available to make the flowers and added buttons for the centers. The Taylored Expression metal dies have a feature that I've not seen on other dies, a system to guarantee accurate placement of the die over the stamped image before running it through your machine. When I followed the directions, I got a perfect die cut every time! Not so much when I

ad libbed!


I'm entering this card in the CASology challenge "Circles" and also in Die Cut Divas challenge to use green and a die cut.

I am yearning for anything Spring .. and this seems to include M&M's and ice cream! What is that about??

So glad you stopped by on this overcast day! I enjoy your company.

Love the polka dot flowers and the simplicity of this design. The colors are so very spring-y and the sentiment so versatile. Have a good weekend, Judy!

I don't know about the M & Ms and ice cream, but I wouldn't mind some either. :)

Love your spring card. I like lots of options too - HAPPY EVERYTHING!

Thank you for joining us on the Die Cut Divas' challenge. It brings Spring wafting on the "chilly" breezes.

Oh, I love your springtime flowers! Aren't we getting spoiled with matching dies? Yes, Judy...where does it all end? But you made a great choice here. I'm sure you'll be using this set many times over!

Love this card Judy. The use of printed polka dot paper and the bright and cheerful flowers really brings the feeling of Spring and warmer days. M & M's are always such a great thing to have on when cardmaking and I need to get me some more. Lol. Thanks for reminding me to stock up again.
