My friends at Spellbinders sent me the February 2019 Small Dies of the Month – Spring Flutter! Here’s how I was inspired: I adore this die! It’s so delicate! I cut it twice and used the smaller separate dies too. I’ve been a bit smitten with the pink and coral color combo lately. The sentiment
So evidently I’ve had this MFT Twice the Wishes Card Kit since July 2016 and this ‘might’ be the first time I’ve used the dies (good grief). I’m super thankful for Jennifer McGuire’s YouTube HERE. I watched it several times. The card on the left was my first card. I have a second card but
