I Did It! Launching CHERRY BLOSSOMS: 15 Must-Try Techniques

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Laurel, KUDOS!!🎉 I am so happy for you and your new product line, especially since I love cherry blossoms, being an East Coast /MD gal and an annual cherry blossom D.C. festival is fondly embedded in my memory. Loved your cards but you have an error in your vid @ts29:00?!? A voice overlay?? Yes love Lindy’s . Thanks for posting! 🥰💜✨👍🏾

[@nicolenardi9521]

Congratulations! What a beautiful collection.

[@mandyhall1674]

Big congratulations Laurel, fabulous collection, love all of it especially the embossing folders - just gorgeous. As for the photo, beautiful then, beautiful now. Hugs and thanks xx

[@LaurelBeard]

Awe! Thank you!

[@MsShanarun]

Beautiful. I love that you shared your inspiration for your first collection! Favorite is the embossing folder with the walkway through the trees. Fun fact: I'm in WA state and University of WA campus has cherry blossoms galore! Definitely worth seeing. Congrats!

[@athomeink4189]

Congratulations!!! This is such a gorgeous collection and I love those embossing folders so much!! As a side note: I too don’t love “Fussy Cutting”. I just say hand cut, or cut out!

[@brooklynmidnightcrafter]

Love the stencils and embossing holders.

[@MsGabmc]

Big congrats! Great collection and I love all the cards you made! it must be surreal to be holding all the products in your hands after dreaming and planning them!

[@LaurelBeard]

It really is!

[@zoedoodle]

Super congratulations! These are just absolutely amazing! And the cards are lovely. Wishing you well on your diet. Sugar is the most insidious addition to food ever invented! So hard to break it's pull. And I find that even when I've been off it for a while, if I give in and have some special treat, then I have to fight the pull all over again for days afterward! Sometimes that is worth it of course, as long as we remember that WE ARE IN CHARGE. You can do this! You you are fabulous and you deserve success on all levels!

[@LaurelBeard]

I know I SO MISS SUGAR!

[@victoriagardner5144]

Absolutely loved your products. The cards are gorgeous! Fav was embossing folder and stencils. Will definitely purchase.

[@CampHappyMail]

Congratulations on your first beautiful collection!! The DC cherry blossoms are AMAZING! I have a Japanese cherry tree in my front yard and every spring I get giddy with excitement just waiting for it to bloom and when it does - it is fabulous!! So bright pink against the brown drab that is SW PA that time of the year! Kinda reminds me of a Dr. Seuss tree! Anyway - your collection is gorgeous and I loved seeing your cards come together!! Also - congrats on the new home/new craftroom! And I agree to your sentiment on packing your own room “BLECH”!! 😂

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you!
