Cathy Makes a Card: a big birthday card!

[@dianahamilton322]

Hello from Canada. Really enjoy watching. Card making and humour. Perfect combo.

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I adore you Cathy, if you ever want to get out of the cold and snowy winter you have an open invitation to the land of sunshine.

[@stamperssecret5379]

I just love the way the pink balloon turned out

[@karenterry7641]

You are a hoot!! You make me laugh. I love your cards!

[@norinemueller4588]

Cathy I love your videos not only do you teach us and make such nice cards but you make us laugh so thank you

[@czdesign]

That is kind of you to say!

[@Jan-dm7wj]

Love this card. Your creativity always blows me away. Thanks Cathy.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@Via_Von]

What a fun video and chat, Cathy! Sorry I missed it live, but so happy to have the replay! Your card turned out fabulous and is easily one a beginner can do too! ❤️👏🏻❤️

[@bethskorupski7642]

Simple is always fun! Thank you for another wonderful birthday card idea!

[@nancymsimmons573]

I so enjoyed watching/listening while I was making a birthday card for my husband’s 85th! The time went by so quickly and I felt like I was crafting with a dear friend. Love you 💕💖💕

[@czdesign]

Happy birthday to the hubs!

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Another fun video and lovely card, Cathy, thank you!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@terrybutler2155]

Solis as a Rock! ASHFORD AND SIMPSON. They also wrote AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH. Love your videos, love your chatter!

[@bunnytoes7200]

Oh what a great simple,card you’ve created!

[@jeanneharris]

Enjoyed the video on replay! What a fun card. Loved the JCS reference.......was a HUGE Carl Anderson fan also! (Ohhhh, Heaven on their Mind! - now I'll have to play the whole album in the craft room today!) Stay cool!

[@reba86442]

Another gorgeous card Cathy. Love spending time with you

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@christineh3866]

Wonderful card and fun live!

[@Bethadilly]

Just finished the end, chef's kiss! Loved it!

[@susanbollinger2844]

I watched the replay and that card is awesome! Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are very talented and I enjoy all your videos. Thank you

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Hi Cathy!! Love the card! Love the singing! And ooh I love your nail color! 😃 Thank you for the inspiration. ❤️

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@racheljakubiak1235]

I just adore watching you! Beautiful card!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@skaerup]

So excited for you to have your office 🥳

[@evamcrimmon3647]

So cute! Thank you.

[@paulaquick5171]

Your so funny Cathy. Good Luck on the new design of your office.

[@melissamccreary3690]

Love your videos. When you first said solid as a rock, I was disappointed you didn’t sing it but then just got to the place in the video and you did sign it. Per usual you did not disappoint😉

[@czdesign]

It took my brain a while to remember!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Thanks, Cat!

[@rasppeach]

Love your new music!

[@ArtisticWanderings]

I just bought a Kallax and 4 wine bottle inserts (9 squares). I am buying 4x4x14.5 clear fridge organizers to use in those openings so I have more drawers for small stuff. That will give me 36 small item drawers as I plan to do this along one entire row. I am so excited!

[@24get24give]

great idea!, BTW, those wine bottle holders are good for organizing colored pencils or gel pens

[@lindagiddes4551]

I’m new to your channel, I love hearing you talk because you hold nothing back lol

[@czdesign]

Welcome!! And yes, the live streams are a bit chatty!

[@sueenberg4893]

Dr's appt so watching the replay but knowing I could come to watch you got me through the appt!💗💖💕

[@betsyphillips7801]

I had my table reinforced - my dad did it years ago and I love my table and it does not shake!!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Hey there Catskills Mountains! (Ha,! A new one. Just came up with it. You know I love balloons. But, I love colorful umbrellas too.

[@cindyrobinson2199]

You are such a great teacher and inspiration. Do you have a video explaining the different cardstock, what the different weights mean, what they are good for? What does gsm mean? I see you talk about it in your videos, but would love to see one dedicated to papers where the info is all in one, specific to cardmaking. Or maybe you know someone that has a video like that. I get very confused on which cardstock to use for what. I ran a piece of cardstock with an embossing folder the other day, loved the look, and when I put tape runner on it, it ripped it. Destroyed it. Lol. Keep doing what your doing Cathie, you make my lunchtimes fun and relaxing.

[@czdesign]

I don't. I probably should, huh? GSM mean grams per square meter. Paper is measured by GSM. Quality of paper is determined by GSM, where quality is measured in grams per square meter of the paper. The higher the GSM, the heavier the paper is. Personally, I just go by the weight, but I live in the US so that makes sense. And there is a difference between cover stock and regular stock. I mostly use 110 pound cover when I am using 3D embossing folders. Sometimes, 80 pound. Your tape runner must be super strong! lol.

[@melissazabower339]

I love the three tone pink. Also, when you were stamping the string, I thought horizontally it could be a swoop under a sentiment. :)

[@czdesign]

That's a great idea!

[@SoHappy20245]

Super cute!

[@wendydennee5648]

Thanks!

[@czdesign]

Thank you SO much Wendy!!!

[@marylucorder1758]

Love the card!

[@debdockum3889]

I love your videos! I'd love to come craft with you!!!

[@rubylevan6860]

watching on replay from alabama

[@99zanne]

Christine Stokes does clean cards with lots of white space if u haven’t watched her. I *think* she was a teacher, but she’s very calm and offers great insight into her creative process. TFS.

[@lkhorvath4]

So pretty!

[@loiswolden6993]

So so pretty.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Wow! Did you get an assis? Or live monitor?

[@czdesign]

I did!

[@lynisevance6223]

Solid as a rock ashford and simpson

[@czdesign]

Yes!

[@Macbuff]

Hi Cathy from the UK. I absolutely love you videos, they are not only informative but you are so entertaining with you bubbly personality. My only problem is seeing all the super Simon says stamp products that I would love but we cannot purchase here in the UK 🤢

[@czdesign]

I know, I wish it was over there however, you can purchase from Simon. They do ship overseas, though I know it's pricey.

[@Macbuff]

@@czdesign Thanks Cathy, I did look into that, but as an pensioner the shipping costs make it to expensive for me. I will still continue watching your videos and hope that one day the products will be sold over here.

[@norinemueller4588]

Have a ? I love my Misti and have had and used it for many years but lately it is not stamping my whole image, does anyone know if after awhile maybe the hinges get lost and time to buy another one because can’t live without it.

[@czdesign]

That is a good question. I may be the pad that gets worn out a bit? Maybe?

[@helenbanaszewski7017]

Very cute

[@czdesign]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Go for the new room

[@czdesign]

I know. I should.

[@pollyweinmann5082]

I took an old pair of panty hose filled the toe with cornstarch tied it off covered it with a piece of cotton fabric tied it off again. And it works great for antistatic pouch l

[@stamperssecret5379]

My hair is longer than I’ve worn my hair since high school. It just annoys me when it’s down my neck. I wear it up most times

[@24get24give]

the pins for the tips of your bottles are simple corsage pins Amazon, or any fabric store will have them, just be sure they are stainless steel, or they will rust and discolor your contents or, worse, break off inside the tube, making it useless, good news, I know it doesn't seem like it ever will. hot flashes do pass in time [though mine lasted five years, my gyno said it seems to be genetic so you may want to ask your mom or grandmother how long theirs wlasted]

[@julieb737]

I included the balloon set in my last Simon says order and it’s a biggie ! Dying for it to arrive at my place I. U.K. unfortunately I’m Christmas crafting at the mo but have got quite a few birthday cards to make for Nov and Dec so they’ll get played with soon . Hurry up post !

[@pollyweinmann5082]

What tape are you using on your dies?

[@czdesign]

Oh, that is called Easy See Tape. It's pretty much my fave low tack. I think I have it linked in my supplies. : ) If not, I'll add it!

[@stamperssecret5379]

I Boop on my dog, Harleys nose. He doesn’t like that anymore than my grandma did.

[@maryslominski7984]

Just curious… can you get a carpenter to fix grandma’s table?

[@czdesign]

You know, it's possible. But… I really need another solution. The table is fine for dining… just not for filming.

[@cherylbuck8396]

I wish Jennifer McGuire would set me up. Crafting is expensive.

[@czdesign]

Indeed it is. I spent more in my first year of cardmaking than in a decade of scrapbooking.

Hey Michelle, I do have it on for all my regular videos but I will look up how to do it on livestreams!

I need a view of you putting your hair up. Mine never looks that good lol

[@czdesign]

Oh, well I have one of those clips… the clamp clips… LIFE changing. I can't do pony tails because a: they hurt and b: they look silly on me! These are the clips I use (i bought two packs because my daughter kept stealing!): amzn.to/3Tgd0AD

When is your birthday? I’m a Gemini. Rut roh!

[@czdesign]

March. Pisces time!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Have you thought about getting a scrapbook? I have one and totally love it. I am so organized with it.

[@czdesign]

Wait, a scrapbook for? Just in general? Now I can't remember what I said in my live. Because Polly, i have a ZILLION of em. hahaha!
