[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

You are always a delight and so are your cards. The "crack", crack would've made my kids laugh... especially my boys!

[@shirleypryor9397]

Thank you for showing me that it isn’t hard at create a rainbow card. I’m loving it.

[@gracecamou6096]

WOW, you’re the queen of colorful rainbow designs!!! Yes Laura! I accept your challenge and I’ll try that happily! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card with us! 🥰

[@scottietyme]

"Mama's gotta have that dimension" LOL, LOVE THE CARD!!! as well.

[@lori-prairiepointeofpella]

You would LOVE quilting! Half square triangles galore! Hope you cross over into the quilting community!

[@sonnels57]

Love love the card but love Laura's humor and her cheery voice even more, always makes me smile!

[@loisa.4236]

Hey Laura! You always make me giggle 😄👌 I am a quilter and I love this card! Adorable! Can't wait to try this. Have a wonderful week!

[@jonistoneking997]

Genius...and you would so enjoy quilting! (the "crack" crack, made me giggle and I'm 65!}

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Your geometric card is amazing! I am giggling too. Ah we with punny/puny, simple minds!! Tfs your beautiful card!😘✨👍🏾😂😂🤘🏾

[@BarbGhig]

Fun design, and so easy, too :) I have to admit...I laughed when you said 'Right in the crack'...you're a riot, Laura!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheStacysperry]

I could see this with Christmas colors! Awesome

[@dorachavez1886]

So itching to do it, girl I'm getting heart palpitations! I love this so much. Happy little accident or not you are amazing Laura!

[@kathyperry]

Ha ha....the crack made ME giggle, and I'm 70! Can't wait to give this idea a try. I don't quilt, but I love paper piecing! AND using up scraps in a pretty way! Thanks for the inspiration, Laura!

[@debt.2210]

Love it! I share your love for color...and quilts!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow, this is fantastic. I love, love,move geometric patterns. Thanks so much. 😊

[@jcparkins]

I love this! That's a great way to use up some scraps and make a beautiful card.

[@janecordell3280]

LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the card but most of all I love to hear you talk...

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Great card!! Love the pattern! Thanks Laura! ❤

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Love this card!!! As always, Laura, another rainbowlicious creation!!! Hugs!

[@mariapeters2638]

I enjoyed this video so much. Especially 'Heaven'... 😃😁😀 This idea is so simple but the result is so impressive. Love this card!

[@carissawiley]

Gorgeous Laura!

[@harrietjohnson9315]

Cute card!! Bright and cheerful

[@SimonSaysStamp]

Have a happy day!

[@TannaLohouse]

I giggled a little 😂. Beautiful!

[@judyhartmann3071]

AWESOME! Totally going to try this. You are such fun to watch! You are a genius!

[@teresadoyle1396]

That is fantastic Laura. I AM a seasoned quilter but my forte is in the hand quilting more than the 'top making'! However my bff & I are going to TRY (in the fall) to take a day a week and use up our fabric and attempt to make our own tops....THIS is a great idea for an easy pattern for us newbies. I think maybe you SHOULD be a quilter... A fantastic card! (Pinning this!)

[@lorrieyeager8017]

I love this card, but I love all of your cards!!!!

[@KristineDavidson]

BARABOOM ! BARABING! You make me laugh and You are so amazing at card making and let's call you the paper trimming queen! x

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

It is such a clean look. I love it and will try the technique soon. Lovely card.

[@KathyaKalinine]

Love your card, your style and your infectious sense of humor! 😍😍😍

[@AnnieCollins09]

Beautiful card! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@bevacole]

Really cute card! I will be trying this soon. Oh yes, I did laugh..........I'm in my 60's.......lol!

[@dianaking9495]

You are such a doll! Always joy filled and full of enthusiasm. Of course, I am itching to try this! Unfortunately, I have to supervise some 22 year olds as they finish an extended drainage ditch. We have had the wettest April, May, June in STL. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😫😰

[@dianaking9495]

Thanks for sharing💖💖

[@mariehoney31]

Maybe I'm just immature, but that line about the crack made me chuckle. LOL Beautiful card, as always, Laura! :)

[@odettesimmons5495]

This card is so cute. It is a ADORABLE. So, I have to agree with the kids... that was funny and you’re itching to put it in the crack 😂😂😂

[@j9cardstock354]

Laura, you are so talented! That card is genius. I am definitely going to look through my scraps to see what I can make. Thanks. Jeannine

[@JAShaskin]

Love it and you! You always ‘crack! me up!!

[@Missa430]

Ha ha ha!!!

[@jenbur8287]

Omg wonderful idea, can’t wait to do this.

[@melissashultz9448]

Such a cool and simple technique. And yep, just like putting a quilt together using strips. My mom makes quilts and I've watched her make a bunch that way.

[@deejohnson827]

Love this for using up my scraps. Thanks for sharing!

[@HeidiLilley]

oh my, i love this!!! i do have some scraps of rainbow paper and now I know what to do with them!

[@pattyeifert4355]

I love the clean & simple yet colorful look!!

[@heidiyamazaki1292]

Sooooo pretty! Love those colors of paper for this, but it will also be fun using gingham, I think!

[@kellyallen9732]

Gorgeous card. Would look fab in greytones as a sympathy card or in masculine colours. Can also see it in rainbow colours for a pride card.

[@helenbudz3966]

Delightful card...with a very helpful video for creating it.

[@michelehogarth1001]

Great use of scraps I want to see how it looks with just black and white.

[@marciapopa7758]

If you are having trouble finding Post It Tape on a roll (being discontinued in the US...), you could try Post It Correction Cover Up Tape (not quite as sticky as the Post It Full Adhesive Rolls, and only available in white). Probably a good option to continue to use for card crafting temp placement.

[@nadinedunker2444]

love this idea!!

[@cathyjordison2805]

I love this technique! I'm a quilter and love your pattern!

[@lauraa7723]

Love, love this. And yeah, I giggled, too!

[@annaknobloch]

This is such a simple design but it really looks intricate. I love that! I'm definitely itching to make something like it. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dhicks2616]

You made your first quilt! Love this card!

[@dorisennis9908]

What a great idea. I will be trying this. Thanks. Love your creative ideas

[@lyndahill468]

Fantastic!

[@patriciapiper2330]

Love the card

[@valsfaves787]

Now this card is “way cool!”.

[@jeannebeam3042]

Wonderful video and card! I’m going cut some strips and make a card.... Thanks so much for sharing.

[@13141516ldi]

Love it!

[@2845kathy]

Oh, yes....on my way to the craft room

[@tammykloss7132]

Love it ❤

[@divyaruth3563]

I LOVE this! Bada-boom bada-bing

[@bournonville13]

You should go for making a quilt, its so simple.. and its awsome when your done 😜

[@cookbook800]

Genius, pure genius! How do you do it?

[@dfmlees]

That’s exact what I love.

[@kristinevencel2898]

This is a beautiful design and a great way to use up your Scraps. But this would make me crazy....lining all these stripes up? End to end? 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Did it twice and I don’t think I’ll do it again. I just give my Scraps to my friend. She loves using them up. Lol 👍🏻👍🏻

[@robinbrothen2305]

I'm pulling out the scraps:)

[@kristinekerr3688]

❤️ “strip” cards and 🌈

[@marliesezimmerman1883]

It looks complicated, but your video simplifies it. Great card?

[@amandapitman617]

I had to laugh! You had a quilting problem on your card! If you don't use a scant quarter inch your pieces end up to big and you have to trim. 🤣 You should absolutely try quilting. Moda solids for you and Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Co. Had several tutorials on how to make blocks just like this. It is a lovely card, TFS.

[@tudivinotesoro]

Fun!!

[@CaratZone]

Hi, Where I can buy your cards please. I mean online store. Wholesale purchases.

[@sandybb36]

Yep, I laughed; Grown woman here lol!
