October 11, 2024 at 7:55 amI like both of them and I like Hank the Tank- he’s so cute! Great idea to add the white gel pen accents on the candles! Thanks for the fun video!

October 11, 2024 at 8:03 amI think they are both GREAT! I’d choose the white base just because of the wonkiness. Hank the tank needs to meet my Bella, she’s a loony golden girl. Love your cards hope shelves arrive soon. Thanks for sharing.

October 11, 2024 at 8:15 amYour cards are beautiful and I always like your”‘rain-bow orde…”. The candle dies are the perfect height; to me they could literally be cut to any height you’d like for any type of card the creator wants to make. I like the white background for my preference, but I really like both cards, and I can see the darker background being a perfect card for a male recipient. I love that they are now perfectly straight up & down on either card, especially with the candles because for me, that just screams fun and party. LOL. Thank you so much for sharing, Laura.

October 11, 2024 at 8:21 amP.S. Laura, thank you so much for introducing us to Hank… He’s adorable. I’m sure he offers help with your creative inspiration sometimes… LOL. I love animals – almost all animals (except snakes and crocodiles) but in honesty, pooches are my favorite and I have 2 in my family currently. They are both rescues, are simply a Blessing and will always hold a very special place in my heart. Give Hank a nice pet down the back for me and tell him I said “WOOF” hello.

October 11, 2024 at 9:48 amThe blue card is my favorite! I think it was a toss-up until you added the white gel pen. What a fun SSS release! I think Heidi should make an ink pad the same color as your sweater – simply gorgeous, yummy color of green.

October 11, 2024 at 12:04 pmBoth sets of birthday candles are so festive, Laura! I love the soft pastel shades but then the added details and bright colors against the blue background has a WOW appeal!

October 11, 2024 at 12:10 pmYour cards are ba da bing…ba da boom! Right up my alley too. I love them both but the darker blue caught my eye b/c I think it would be good as a masculine card (which are always hard for me) Love your video’s too

I hope you’re enjoying life in MN, my “home land”. I wish I were there now to enjoy some Fall colors–it’s still over 100 degrees here in the desert! Love this new SSS release!
