Beautiful!!! Ms. Laura Bassen I'm SO glad to have caught the C&9th Live today. I've heard your crafty superstar friends mention you, but I hadn't seen your videos until this one. So glad you were on the Live so that could remind me to search for your videos. YAY for finding another incredible, gifted cardmaking teacher!!! Thank you for sharing your artistic talent with the masses. Can't wait to view others.

[@CardsbyMaaike]

very nice Laura, love the stencils and in the 70's there was this wall art with texture or dimension, so seems perfect to me

[@TheResearchMom]

I always look forward to your gorgeous cards and your commentary. You are not just incredibly talented, but also you make your viewers feel like you’re the friend they can sit down and craft with. Thank you! Oh - love love love hibiscus. Gorgeous flowers.

[@debbiebugh8508]

Hibiscus, lowbiscus girl you say it however you want and I’ll listen and watch !! Great colors and wonderful cards!

[@donnaokoniewski3761]

Wow! Wow! And did I say Wow! The Friend Flower Card is Absolutely GORGEOUS! Love, Love, Love! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Lainers2000]

Laura, it just makes my day to watch a video from you. You are so upbeat. You’re killing me with this die set! The colors are beautiful. I’m sure the suppliers don’t like to hear this, but I made a vow to use what I already have (a lot of it never used) before buying more in 2024, however, I really love the Hibiscus die and the paper packs and my shopping finger is twitching. You did a great job with both cards.

[@joymeadows3646]

The addition of the grit paste and the vellum die cut under the sentiment made the grid card exceptional, Laura! The hibiscus card is also very beautiful!

[@andrewandberthapilgrim999]

Beautiful and bright! I love these two cards. And that’s genius, adding the grit paste to keep the card light and bright.

[@moirahansen1955]

Thank you Laura. Two beautiful cards with gorgeous colours. Especially like the geometric one. 👏😊💕

[@angelalittlewood3039]

I just love this flower. It is so realistic and with the keyhole guide, so easy to put together.

[@icardeveryone01]

Absolutely stunning Hibiscus, Laura! I totally thought of you when I saw this stencil! BTW - since you asked... I'm ALWAYS up for a good steak on special days - like Valentine's Day!

[@julidetlefsen5885]

[@cardrefinery]

I just love the second card. The Pinkalicious and Lemon are great blended together💜

[@annmariesharratt3885]

I knew you would love the Modern Circles Builder Stencil Set, Laura! Right up your alley. Beautiful cards, and I need to get some of the gradient cardstock; it makes adding a gradient to die cuts easy!

[@pollardnx]

Laura, the hibiscus flower card is my favorite! So colorful!

[@AndreMmmm]

Cards are gorgeous, love the addition of the leaves against the bold stenciled background

[@patnorris3045]

Your cards are so pretty! Love how you added ink to the die cuts. I think it’s great that Altenew has coded the items! WOW! These are on my wishlist.

[@kathymanna2466]

Hi Laura. As always, the Geometric in you is calling the Geometric in me. 😊 Love love love your work!

[@carriesheridan7643]

“There’s no hibiscus police”🤣Love your humor so much I subscribed to your channel! And I’m confident there are no enamel dot police, so you just go right on living your best enamel dot life with groups of two! Great cards! And we say “ha”biscus in my neck of the woods, too (Michigan).

[@dianepfile7966]

Love the cards and vibrant colors on the hibiscus flower. The layering system of the Altenew pattern is new to me. Love both cards.💜

[@k30gentle]

❤. The key hole system is life. 🎉

[@maribethhuddleston8345]

Wow I love your colors Laura, and the ok rule of 2 and not always in groups of three.

[@angeliquevanvliet4637]

These are absolutely gorgeous, love the colours! And that vellum is a lonely touch. Thank you so much for the inspiration. ❤️

[@npatriciacastillo6671]

These are great! And I love the idea of adding some shading while the die cuts are adhered temporarily. Beautiful!

[@pambotter355]

What gorgeous cards Laura. Love the longer video! TFS!❤

[@inderjeet.k]

Such beautiful cards, Laura. Love the addition of texture paste on the stencil card..❤

[@denisebryant3376]

These are so beautiful! Love the gorgeous hibiscus flowers and the inked details! Great design and colors for your second card too!

[@barbarahill6365]

Your cat is a pistol, the flower part. Is a pistil-I believe! You always are fun! Beautiful!

[@cathylaycock5598]

Beautiful! Re: Valentines…I normally don’t celebrate it outside of the sweets. This year though, I decided to leave my tree up. I took off all the Christmas baubles, and am going to put a few hearts etc on it. A lot of stress happening so I need to see cheerful colors! Dollar store decorations dirt cheap. As always, love your cards! 😊❤️🇨🇦

[@nicolalederer9517]

I love the Hibiscus! But the stencil is so very Laura! Love what you did with it.

[@krissmitchell1731]

the keyhole system is so clever! Both cards are fabulous. Thanks for sharing!

You are hilarious! I love listening to you. 😂 love your work too! ❤

[@ann-marieo.5359]

Gorgeous cards! I love how you used the blue on the flower, chef’s kiss 😊

[@MsTamp-qn4xw]

Great look at the sets and color blend for the layers.

[@tinakwitkoski7513]

So pretty. Love Hibiscus flowers 🌺

[@barbiejobonnett7473]

Hi Laura, I know geometrics are your jam, but the flowers are gorgeous. Love the way the keyholes line up for easier layering.

[@anneleisehampson996]

Love the inking on coloured card stock. Gorgeous flowers.

[@karlachristner8309]

I love your banter. You make it look so easy!!

[@suecooley4672]

Beautiful cards! I love what you did with the stencil card.

[@UnikByLizO]

Love this colorful duo Laura. I love the Pinkalicious and Lemonade Stand blending! I will have to try the Grit paste, it looks like the glass glitter paste from Faber-Castell without the shimmer. Thanks for sharing!

[@BerinaRGA]

Beautiful cards ❤ love the hibiscus ❤

[@scrapablemoments]

Honestly I didn't think I would like that stencil that much when I saw it but I love what you did with it. The colour combo was great and I like the vellum leaf on top. 💜

[@Love2Create62]

Your videos always make me happy, you are such a joy to watch, and you make me laugh! I love your cards, you did some lovely ink blending! 💜

[@pattyeifert4355]

Two bright beautiful colorful cards as usual! You never disappoint Laura! I need to get hold of that Hibiscus die set!

[@annekeschep8148]

First time I watched you, subscribed of course!! Lovely cards, both hibiscus (great effect with the bit of ink on the petals) and the stenciled card. I agree with you about the stencils; this set is amazing! I love what you did with the colors and then used paste. Unexpected but great effect. Thanks for sharing👍

[@Cindy-zb2me]

Love both of your cards. Thank you for the reminder to use vellum on a card - I always forget about vellum!

[@blessedbeeandme]

Now this I have to try. I love the key hole aspect. I fuss way to much with lining things up . This will decrease my craft stress. 💜

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Your blending is lovely, such pretty cards. We don't do anything for most holidays, we kinda just live like every day is a holiday (sappy right?) 💜

[@meredithsmith2933]

Gorgeous cards! I grew up saying Hibiscus the same way you did, lol! I was in Colorado. I love your ink blending! So pretty! The stencils look fun!💜

[@orenbyrd]

You just brightened my crafty mood with your color choices! It looks amazing. Those Hi!-bicus😊 are stunning! Love them! Can you have too many altered products... I think not!😂

[@SuperCarrie82]

Beautiful cards! I love the Hibiskus police 😂 just knew the shadow police so far.

[@mariseladelgado7246]

You're awesome, Laura! You are hands down one of my favorite people and crafters. 💜 Gorgeous cards! I also love the pink and orangey blend. One of my favorite color combos!

[@donnacheatle1408]

This is just stunning. I love the colors you used. Gorgeous florals and Altenew just go hand in hand!

[@donnaphelan3108]

Beautiful card, gorgeous colors! Oh we'll be snuggled up in front of the fire.....wait for it.....watching.....The Wire LOL How Romantic (it kind of is hahaha)

[@kellywentling4549]

Beautiful cards Laura! I really love the idea of the keyhole system, so clever and a great time saver! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I love that you used an old gift card! I have room keys all over the house because I travel for a living!

[@LeaMCallaisEndeavoursLLC]

You are a fun lady! And I love your cards.

[@melissasilvestre2442]

The HI-Biscus are gorgeous!! I love watching your videos. It feels like I’m just sitting and crafting with a friend.

Love all the colours Laura, you rocked both cards!

[@karenyoung58]

I love the hibiscus 🌺 card! Just beautiful.

[@Mimiw28]

Love that colorful stencil design with the little mixed media vibe.

[@lindailey2225]

You got the right parts for your flower. I learned all the parts of the flower in botany classes in high school and college. The stamen and pistol are needed for pollination.

[@deborahnorthover5304]

Lovely cards, the vellum looked so nice too.
