I always love Laura’s cards! She’s so fun!
I love the two-toned hearts… What a beautiful way to illustrate those dies!
Adorable card Laura! Thanks for the great video and always wonderful commentary!!
This card is beautiful. Now that I’ve seen it I think I will buy these dies.
Laura is so fun to watch! I loved this card! I still remember when I first saw these dies I thought they were to make band aids for a get well card or to somehow make it work for valentines day. So glad I was wrong because this is such a unique heart die!
These hearts are so sweet, haven’t we all made them in school? Always get a chuckle or two out of Laura’s videos, I’m so glad she does them.
I remember making these hearts with my daughter’s Girl Scout troop. If you put the flat end at a fold vs an edge, you can make pockets instead. Super cute- loved the bears’ voices!
Adorable card and video, love those woven hearts!
Oh, how I love that card. The inking process may be tiring, but well worth it. What a charming card.
Laura, always love your cards and your videos are always entertaining. Happy New Year. Thanks for the inspirations!

Cute, cute card! I’m glad I got to see this set in use. I was curious about it when I saw it in the release. Love the woven hearts! I remember making something similar as a child. What fun!
Wonderful weaving!
How cute is this card!!!! Great job!
Wow, that was really sweet. I didnt know how to use these dies, but, now I do. I agree it takes a
bit of patience weaving but what a pretty effect.
Love this idea! Thank you for sharing!
Oh Happy Dance – I was a winner – I sent my email just a few minutes ago -thank you very much for the Grab Bag – this is a nifty tutorial video – I like the weaving on the card – adds a great texture and is very lovely! TFS – have a blessed week!

Beautiful card, Laura and great video! Thanks for sharing!
Super cute card! I love the colors you used!!!
Love the clean and simple nature of this card. Really fun and bright. Great weave technique.
super cute card, love the colors!
I love the way you did all three sized and set them off the edge. FYI: If you think those are hard to weave, I remember doing them double so you had a little cup when you were done.
Love that great die cut heart! It’s so versatile!
So colorful and fun.
Laura is one of my favorite designers…she is so funny. Great technique…thank you!
This is terrific inspiration! I always appreciate a new way to use hearts. And the time honored weaving is a terrific one!
Beautiful card, thanks for showing how do you do!
I can remember making weaved cards when I was in elementary school. Brings back memories =0)
Oh, these hearts bring out beautiful memories … We used to make A LOT of those when I was little. Great idea to use them on a card. And thank you for the trip down the memory lane. :)
