We love Fridays. Who doesn't love Fridays. But Friday's before we go to print are always fun around the SCT office. That means it's been a busy week putting the final touches on the issue and then, on the Friday, we get to reveal the cover. And with all the snow around the office right now, we are loving the fresh breath of spring in this cover! Have a peek…
This issue is full, yes FULL, of creative inspiration for the beautiful spring season. Each of our designers and contributors have given their very best and our new Editor-in-Chief Megan Hoeppner and our new Art Director, Cathy Zielske have brought it all together for one outstanding issue! It will be delivered to homes, in stores and online for free viewing on March 20th! If you would like to subscribe to receive this beautiful issue in your hands, now would be a perfect time! You can do that HERE. We ship all around the world!
Friday's as you know are also the day we get to feature one of our sweet partners and today's company, Taylored Expressions, is one of the sweetest around! Good people. Yesterday in our Card Cafe Thursday post, we shared some beautiful cards from their design team. Today you have the opportunity to win a fabulous prize package of those dies, stamps and papers!

If cats could talk is such a wonderful and cute set. I love all the little faces you can add, and the ‘accessories’ too.
I also love the Bistro lights die. Thanks for the chance to win some wonderful goodies.
If Cats Could Talk with Coordinating Die is such a cute new set. Since I have a cat this set immediately caught my eye. I can think of so many things I can do with it. I have just discovered Taylored Expressions stamps and dies and absolutely love them!
Having just gotten a kitten last summer, I love the If Cats Could Talk stamp and die set. Thanks for the chance to win the festive Easter paper, stamp and die set.

I’d love to try some Taylored Expressions, looks fun!
Wonderful stuff. I love the die cuts. Can never have enough
Favorite new product is Garden Arbor and Gate dies with the accessories.
I love all dies, but I oh’d and awed when I saw the ‘Seasonal Trees’ die, it is absolutely awesome. I love love love it. Would be great to add this to my craft room and start my Christmas cards using it. LOL. What a great cover this is for your Spring issue, sure makes us feel like spring really is just around the corner. Great job.
I love cats so they have to be my favorite. Thank you for a great magazine filled with so many awesome ideas.
love the garden arbor and the garden arbor accessories Have great ideas for cards to make with them
OOOOOO! Carried Away would be perfect!! Our 25th wedding anniversary is March 31st so this set would be awesome to make hubby that special card to tell him how I feel after 25 years!
LOVE the Spring Cover!! Looking forward to the Back to Basics article! See you tomorrow!
My favorite new set is “If dogs could talk” . Easter sets are adorable too :)
my favorite is If Dogs Could Talk! So fun!
I just Love Taylored Expressions Stamps and Dies! I especially like their New Release: Carried Away is so charming, romantic, and it so tugs at my heart strings. If Dogs Could Talk, and If Cats Could Talk, really makes me giggle and I am really left wondering what our Cats and Dogs do really think of their Pet Humans? Spring will be here soon, we have all had such a very snowy and cold Winter, and I am also looking forward to reading the latest SCT Issue. My forced Paper Whites have easily bloomed and they smile at me from their stone water vase. Next week I plan on attending the Boston Flower Show and enjoying the sights and smells of all the Spring Gardens. Hang in their Ladies! Our Snowbanks will melt, since a gradual warm up is coming!!
Can’t wait for the mailman to bring my new issue!!!! I love Taylored Expressions – If Cats Could Talk. So fun!
I’m in love with all the TE stamps and dies this release my favorite dies are the garden arbor and accessories and favorite stamp is if cats could talk its so cute

If Dogs Could Talk is my favorite new stamp set! Lots of cute things on her web site …. those sequins are calling my name, too! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great prize package … would be awesome to win!
Love, love, love if dogs could talk stamp set! Fun!
I don’t really have a favorite but that “Somebunny Loves You” stamp set sounds awesome. I’m one for little critter stamps (any kind) as long as they are cute. Also love the front cover of your new magazine. It brings us all a breath of fresh air. I know we are so badly in need of Spring right now and the cover warms my heart and it’s nice to think that Spring is just around the corner. Love all the bright colours.
I just love the Somebunny Loves You stamps and dies set. It doesn’t get cutter than those adorable costs with bunny ears. Love the cover of the upcoming edition, too.
definitely bistro lights–so festive
Love Fridays!!! I also love the samples in the magazines and website. Always find something to use!!!
I just purchased the TE Bubblegum Machine Die. Can’t wait to make a shaker card with it!
Can I pick the floral vine embossing folder? If I have to go with a stamp or die, then I pick the bold lace die. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I love TE… If Cats Could Talk is my fav and tops on my wishlist!
I would love to add that special something to my cards with the lovely Fancy Banner 1 stamp & die combo. So versatile, easy and sweet! Thanks for the chance to win the prize bundle!
Hard to choose. I love the versatility of the new frame in frame die. It would get a lot of use. Some of my old faves are O Christmas Tree because of its elegance and the “sack it” series just because they are so cute. Thanks for this opportunity. I just found the Tailored Expressions website earlier this week because of SCT.
Wow, gorgeous cover!!!
And such a cute paper pad.
I like the Big, Bold Easter stamp! So very cute!
My favorite is “if dogs could talk”, since I have three dogs in my “pack” and they help me craft every day.
The new easter stamp is my favorite
The cards yesterday were absolutely adorable and the chance to recreate some of them with this prize would be awesome. Thank you for the chance to win.
Looking forward to the new release and lost more inspiration!
At Taylored Expression website, I like the fancy tags and matching stamp set the best.
Taylored Expression has great dies and the little bits Fox is adorable!
Oh my….I love them all but especially If Dogs (and Cats) could talk! Fun images and love how they are customizable!
Oh my gosh Carried Away is my favorite. But i also want Bistro Lights and the wispful grass i think it was called. anyway the grass one.
My favorite new die is the “frame in frame” cutting plate. I love all the different styles of frames. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win.
