Laura, not only do I enjoy what you teach us, but also your humor! Thanks for giving my Mondays a lift!

[@christinasteel3662]

Seriously! The embossing magic NEVER gets old!!! I love your videos!

[@kathygroff4526]

Yes, cute, pretty, cool, whatever! That Baca-rah stamp is amazing....maybe on wishlist for the future. The blending is seamless. The little bird is so adorable, awesome shaker-ness! Love ❤️ that your family is really taking to the German language. Have a great day, Laura, TFS! 💕💌

[@myrnab2022]

I like your creativity and I enjoy your personal comments. You're fun.

This card is just so sweet with your beautiful color blending and that cute bird! It must be amazing to see your son interviewed on TV...he must be doing well on his team!!

Love that color combo, Laura! Great two-fer deal, too. Thanks for sharing, & have an awesome day! :)

[@laurynecunningham900]

Fabulous cards, Laura! Love the blue and gold combo and that sweet little bird!

[@deniseward6207]

Always love a 2 for 1 deal and both of these cards are terrific! The sentiment die looks fantastic! Adding the cute little Winter bird was a sweet finishing touch to the second card.

[@angelinakogl6702]

Oh my gosh! I just want all the things now!! You are amazingly talented and I get such a hoot listening to you. Your sense of humor is fabulous!

[@pammartin7917]

Nice cards. Love your videos and cards. Thanks for making me smile. Never get tired of your humor. It’s awesome!

[@joanbardee5135]

boy that bird is spot on. very clever. exciting to see your son on TV speaking German. We all should have learned a second language as kids!

[@dfmlees]

They are both so pretty. Thanks again for inspiration.

[@lisak2575]

Love the little bird you added. Gorgeous cards!

[@barbaralassiter259]

I totally agree with you about the Strathmore Bristol paper for ink blending Distress Inks. Always get a smoother blend when using it! I love the MFT Winter Songbird set and it was a perfect finish for your beautiful card.

[@elizabethpetersen5568]

Lovely cards. Your gold embossed background is beautiful

[@shabbypinkhouse]

[@elimimi123]

Laura’s #1 fan 🙋🏻‍♀️🖐🏼 me...😁

[@beccayahrling4894]

Very pretty cards! I love the gold embossing (and yes, the magic of it is so lovely!). Shakers are my fave type of card. And hubby calls me a bird nerd, so of course the birdie was the perfect touch to your 2nd card.

[@sharzar5312]

Beautiful blue colors.

[@PaperCraneWishes]

Wow! Those cards are beautiful. 😍💕❤️

[@carolweatherspoon3005]

Perfect!!! I am loving that word die!

[@Queelister]

Such lovely cards!!

[@elizabetheddy1073]

I love watching your videos, you always make me laugh! My boys were big hockey players too, I can’t imagine living in another country and trying to learn another language!! My oldest son was stationed over in Germany, he said he knew a little German but not good enough to be in conversations! Just enough to order food and drinks! Lol thanks for the laugh! And congratulations to you and your son! Thank you so much for sharing these awesome cards! I want to order this bird stamp set, next check and I will! Lol 😊❤️

Wonderful cards! Beautiful blended colors, love the gold embossing and shaker element.

[@aliscraps-allisonbunt]

I love it! Super gorgeous, super fun. Good on Beau, but I have to say, learning a new language gets harder as we get older, good luck and happy thanksgiving 🇦🇺

[@cynthiac6430]

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

Absolutely gorgeous..love them both , and love your videos ....love from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@TheLpage]

The little bird really added the perfect touch

[@heidirees9647]

Beautiful cards! Love watching embossing powder melt! 😍 German is such a wonderful language, sounds so different from other languages, I love it! That’s great how quickly your kids pick up on it!

[@carolwortman2657]

Giving the fancy schmancy the bird was the perfect touch. Love all of these MFT products!

[@gigirivers1447]

I definitely have to look into that bristol card stock! Gorgeous cards!!

[@handmadebymirella]

These are so wonderful, Laura, love them! Great how you used different stencil/background patterns for each of the cards. And the sequin colour combo is delicious!

[@christymalone5191]

Love these! These dies are amazing for quick cards with big impact. That’s so cool that you could watch your son on TV and see him interviewed!

[@ashleycortez30]

Absolutely in love with these stunning and georgous card's you did amazing on them thanks for sharing and thanks for the inspiration

[@handmadebylubomira]

So cute! I never thought of using that paper for blending. I'm going to try it in my next project. Thanks for the idea.

[@denisep7707]

love this card and will make it for some friends. Can you tell me mat you are working on. I like the center of it - and how you use it to line up your card. thanks

[@pdunbar9255]

I think we need to create a game and spend the day playing....we take a shot every time you say rainbow LOL...we would get super drunk in a day watching your videos which we would be doing any way LOL..Just got done taking your class over at Craftsy...super good class..

[@lindadodge4574]

When I forget....I just start singing deck the halls with boughs....la la la. I don't have a song for baccarat lol

[@lorispitzer8289]

Yup... /Bah-ka-rah/ is how you pronounce it (maybe soften the first "a" just a scosh). Here is some more info: "Borrowed from French baccarat, baccara [19th c.], likely named after the French town Baccarat (noted for glassmaking) in Grand Est, of ultimately unclear and debated origin [1291?]." That's unconfirmed and from a really fast Google search. Love the card. I just ordered the die. I already have the baccarat background ordered from about a week ago. I ordered the birdies with the baccarat. I LOVE how doing the embossing on the punched word panel looks. I would have made that a background but you made it the front/center. That's why I am not the pro designer! (wink) The key to being a successful language learner is just to get over the fear of making mistakes. Just speak. Strike up a conversation w/ someone. In France I had lunch or more often coffee meetings in cafes w/ people. For 30 we'd speak English to help them and for 30 we'd speak French to help me. Or if they wanted a more formal arrangement and they strictly wanted to speak English, they'd pay me to sit and speak English w/ them. But that did not help me, so I was choosy about those events........Anyway, kids have less of a fear about how they appear, generally. Glad for your son's success! Thanks for the video. Gave me a nice break! Lori S in PA

[@lesleydickson7746]

In the film The War of the Roses the Michael Douglas character boasts about how they got their fabulous Baccarat crystal glasses at half price because the couple who ordered it had called off their wedding thus showing what an awful person he is. :-)

[@ginaspod]

Love them but man it makes me get all stressed from not putting the negative center of the letter R and especially the letter O! Lol

[@jennygiallanza4524]

You only want to say Evergreen Beau because that’s your son’s name, right? Tee hee

[@jacquelinearduengo4770]

Beautiful cards 🥰
