Hi there! Today I’m joining Altenew for their Geometry & Nature Blog Hop! I you are following the hop then you should have arrived here from Therese Calvird‘s blog.
My first card features the Mighty Corners stencil.
For the sentiment I used the Caps Bold Alpha dies along with an embossed sentiment from Sentiments & Quotes.
My second card uses the Color Block Triangle stencil.
For the sentiment I used the Mega A Alpha die along with another sentiment from Sentiments & Quotes.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

September 18, 2020 at 4:53 pmWhat was it? Smooth as cream cheese frosting on a cinnamon roll? Cinnamon bun? Oh, Laura! You’re a hoot. Love the card and love your work in general!!

September 18, 2020 at 5:01 pmAnd I almost forgot: You can call me the ink-blending professor. LOVE THAT ONE. Luckily, it didn’t chap my khakis!! Yes, as a language teacher, I am an advocate for learning all the langs you can – and it’s a lot less work to pick them up if you’re younger (that window starts to close early!). It’s great exposure for your children and dealing in more than one language helps you with problem-solving capacities. Some sources even suggest it decreases your chances of ending up with dementia. Thanks again for the video!

September 18, 2020 at 7:50 pmGorgeous cards, I loved your family ink blending video on you tube–hilarious! And you with the cinnamon roll and pizza talk, now you’re making me hungry–make mine gluten free please! The cards are lovely, the new stencils from Altenew are terrific and just your jam, did you perhaps design them? Great job whoever did.

September 18, 2020 at 7:59 pmAwesome backgrounds. Love being able to create them with specific colors in mind. Very inspirational.

September 18, 2020 at 8:23 pmThanks, Laura, for the fun, chatty video with the professor of ink blending! Now to order pizza!
Delia Wilkes
September 18, 2020 at 8:29 pmLove your cards. I’m always drawn to stripes and dots, so the striped stencils are on my shopping list, but I have to have Block Triangle too. It’s lovely seeing your children and learning how talented they all are.
Julie L
September 18, 2020 at 8:50 pmLots of great stencils in this release, but I think the Leaf Bed is my favorite. I’m glad your family is learning German. My Oma spoke/wrote in German, but I haven’t practiced much since she passed (age 98) several years ago. Our godchild in Munchen speaks 5 languages— so proud of her,

Marisela Delgado
September 19, 2020 at 6:35 amHola, Laura! 💜 I love your videos! You always make me smile 😃 and happy! Your cards are gorgeous! 🌻🌸🌼 My mother is from Mexico so I spoke Spanish before I spoke English. It has also made learning French easier. Not to toot my own horn, but I believe it made me smarter. To think and function in two languages is awesome! Enjoy your pizza 🍕🍕🍕! Hugs. 💜

September 19, 2020 at 10:07 amHi Laura. Of course these stencils would “call to you”, little geometric rainbow person that you are. I have obviously missed too many of your Youtubes because I just found out you’re in Germany. What a fabulous experience for your children but I understand how much you must miss your daughter. Now, back to the cards – they are simply beautiful. LOVE the stencls, – WANT the blending brushes, NEED your design ability. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Hope you and yours keep well and safe. Hugs from Bev from Sydney, Australia.

September 19, 2020 at 5:13 pmLove these cards Laura! You’re the queen of ink blending!
Cyndi Morris
September 19, 2020 at 8:09 pmI love these cards. I share your love for geometric designs and these wonderful new stencils are right up my alley! I struggle with blending, so I listened carefully to your lesson — pressure = vibrancy. Thanks, professor, I’ll try to remember that! I love the picture of Alex, and I can’t imagine playing soccer with a mask on; I can barely spend 30 minutes in the grocery store without gasping for air and ripping off my mask when I get in my car. I am building up my endurance, though, because I think we’re going to be wearing masks for a while.

September 20, 2020 at 5:44 pmLike you Laura, I am drawn to all things geometric, be it stamps, dies or stencils. Yay for stencils as they are somewhat more affordable & I have a few in my stash. Of course, now I’ve just seen the two you used & they are at the top of my wish list. Love your cards & your video. Thanks.

September 21, 2020 at 8:17 pmI love these stencils! Found your video randomly on YouTube & you have a new subscriber! Surprised to see that Altenew has a similar blending brush to Pink & Main so now I will have to research to see what the difference is between them! Great video!
