  2. Love these cards! I love starting my day with a Laura Bassen video! Sooo much fun :)

  3. Fabulous cards! My favorite is the one with the rosette folder; it reminds me of Chinese paper fans, which is a perfect background for those cute pandas.

  4. Well…I certainly have a greater appreciation for embossing and background prep!
    And we never, ever have to worry about you making something good to share with us!
    Laura, you are amazing…thank you!

  5. OMG Laura I can sooooooooooooo relate to “Are you gonna make anything GOOOOOOOODDDD?????” I hear that constantly! And I love your immitation of their voices!!!!!!! Spot on ;) I also get – “Oh NO, not another recipe MOM!!!!!!!!!!!” These cards are gorgeous and I love those new folders!!!

  6. Laura you always make me laugh! The new folders are beautiful. I need to get my old ones out and try blending on them

  7. Love those embossing folders! Great card & video-thanks Laura for always brightening my day!

  8. I just love learning all these new cardmaking ideas on your blog! Laura’s cards are always so beautiful.

  9. Laura never disappoints. I adore her 3D friend card. Now I “need” to buy the folder. The 3D folders are such a good idea. The best part of Laura is her chatter like I’m sitting at the craft table with her drinking my coffee while she talks. LOVE this girl so much and now she says she has 5 kinds? HOW DOES SHE DO IT? Lucky kids!

  10. No one likes crooked tittles Laura! LOL so I totally hear you on that girl! :D TFS your AWESOME cards!! TFS :D

  11. Yeah, a Laura video! She’s always a hoot and makes me laugh. The fact that her cards are always gorgeous is an added bonus! Love the fabric-y EF and that friend die.

  12. Great video Laura. I think the “party” folder looks more like after-party. You know how you are cleaning up after cupcakes and all those liner papers are flattened and laying in weird places all over the house? (what kid was eating cupcakes in the laundry room?)

  13. I enjoyed Laura’s video. These embossing folders look amazing, and I like her inking technique.

  14. W O W
    These embossing folders look AMAZING and your cards DELIGHTFUL!!!
    THANK YOU for sharing your TEXTURED INKY INSPIRATION and tutorial Laura :)
    … I confess that I’ve been ingoring my folders lately as I tend to tear the panels in places and not have it fully embossed in others => I DEFINITELY NEED TO PRACTICE MORE so that I can justify buying the GORGEOUS rosette wall!!!

  15. Just love listening to Laura. So fun! Great video and I’m just amazed how the backgrounds turned out especially the “Party” rosette background!!! Great job!

  16. I love to use embossing folders. You get fun designs on your background
    without a lot of extra work. You can color on them to change the look.
    So many fun things.
    The projects on today’s post are great.
    thanks for sharing.

  17. Laura’s ink blending is always amazing! Love the effect on the embossed panel and that cute panda.

  18. Always love a Laura video! You are a hoot girl! The embossing folders are gorgeous! Great tip to keep the embellishments simple on a busy background. Love your cards Laura.

  19. Beautiful cards!! Why haven’t I ever thought of using distress ink on embossed paper?! I will be doing that this weekend! Thank you for sharing!

  20. Love Laura and her videos! She cracks me up every time. These cards are awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing.

  21. Wow these embossing folders look amazing! It’s fun to watch them tweak existing products slightly & come up with something super cool! Lovely cards, too! Thanks for sharing! :-)
