I am going to be 74 and wear makeup every day and get my nails done regularly and it makes me feel good.

[@czdesign]

I love that!

[@glendacaldwell7650]

Good for you. 1:58 I’m going to be 76 and i just got back from having a pedicure and manicure along with bling on 2 of my nail

[@nurseratchet8566]

💙💙💙💙💙

[@bunnytoes7200]

Hi Cathy! I'm 70 and have lives in Alberta Canada for the past 45 years. Love your cards! Yay

[@czdesign]

So cool!

[@dariasikorski7217]

Such a pretty card and I liked all your alcohol marker tips and tricks! You are so young. I just turned 70 and am not ashamed to share my age, every year has had its trials but it’s been a good ride so far.

[@czdesign]

I'll take every age I can get!

[@maggibrowncardlife]

Happy Birthday, Cathy!!!🥳🥰🫶🏻🎉☀️

[@rachaeledwards5414]

I love how you’re always a tidy crafter x

[@shortiewright4159]

Cathy, this card is beautiful. I'm watching this after your birthday, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. I hope you had a great day.❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@sallybicknell8402]

Such a pretty card. I always feel better after I watch your card making videos. Thank you Cathy Z!!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@rebeccah1635]

That was a fun video Cathy! The card is beautiful- well done! I watched it on replay and wasn’t able to replay the chat like I usually can - I hope KZbin hasn’t removed that option…

[@san1171]

Monica, you are absolutely right! Cathy does bring so much joy! Take care after your treatment! I know what you may be going through💚

[@user-of7pf1pi7v]

Such a pretty card! Thanks for your time, watching your videos always lifts my spirit and my creativity! ❤

[@momoclangford4673]

I'm so happy you sent the card to Monica. Stay strong Monica and enjoy your beautiful card. Cathy you are a jewel. 💙

[@moiraloves2craft]

I am so glad that you demonstrated OLO markers. I hace some that I have never used and now Iam ready to try them. Thanks for sharing all your tips:)

[@user-gs1bo7in8d]

Wow! Cathy this card is so beautiful., I love the colours used. Thank you, for reminding us to always have fun, watching your posts always make me smile. 👌🌸🤍

[@lindaandersen4308]

I am in LOVE with this card, Cathy!!!❤🎉

[@Jan-dm7wj]

Such a delicate, pretty card. Thanks Cathy.

[@sueplatt8899]

Such a dainty flower-it is so cute! Card turned out beautifully❣️

[@lindameche6942]

Love this card. Thanks Cathy

[@donnasmith9030]

Such a beautiful card Kathy. You've made me want to have a go again at colouring die cuts xx

[@fionascott4887]

Beautiful card Cathy and thanks for the great idea of the colouring the sentiment panel x

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@lauraguzman9373]

Gorgeous card, Cathy!

[@cherimorrison2388]

Beautiful card❤

[@DeafSheltieMom]

Lovely card, Cathy! Your flower coloring was beautiful. ❤. Thank you for sharing your tips and inspiration.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@sheilacoates3615]

You are so funny, lol. It makes my day watching you make fantastic cards. Love your sense of humor 😜

[@tonilmarasco165]

Love the look of this card--the blue is so pretty.

[@ea8435]

Hi Cathy. I also always put my marker tops on and off because I have accidentally picked up the wrong color and messed up a project. I just remove my cap away from my project so that if you have a new or juicy marker, I don't accidentally get a splatter. I have some Copics and they are wonderful, but I also have Ohuhu markers and they are also wonderful and especially more affordable

[@sandrarehnstrom6353]

You have made my day especially with beautiful card. Thanks

[@IRC1026]

LOVE LOVE this card. One my favorite colors - cornflower blue

[@melissazabower339]

In Pennsylvania we have a lot of Native words, too: Susquehanna, Tamaqua. My favorite is Monongehela. I just like the way it sounds. I'm a nerd. 😊💛

[@hazelyoung2046]

Beautiful card Cathy xx

[@kimm2274]

A pretty card! You’ve inspired me to get my alcohol markers out.

[@margokraus6371]

Watched on replay Work gets in the way of watching live! Love that bloomin' card!

[@PrairiePaperandInk]

awww I missed the live 😭 - catching up now - love ya Cathy! And LOVE your coloring with the OLO's - so good!!!

[@dawnlee8175]

So pretty! Love those blues!

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@felicitycrowe6971]

Alcohol markers dry up really quickly b/c alcohol evaporates extremely quickly. That is probably the reason why a lot of people recommend keeping the cap on as much as possible. This is also the reason why some alcohol markers have a tendency to dry up if left alone unused for long periods in spite of being properly capped.

[@conniesobczak2177]

Those flowers are gorgeous, wow

[@candyclay01]

love the trick on the sentiment

[@SarahRonk-xd8vp]

Good afternoon from SE Ohio

[@susanhughes1417]

Beautiful card! Monica deserves the cards. You are so nice Cathy.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@paulacasey6111]

So pretty!

[@jerryclark7872]

Great card!

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Gorgeous card Cathy 💕❤💕

[@marydepaul1406]

Absolutely beautiful Cathy! ❤️❤️

[@patriciawilson4135]

This is a lovely card. I loved the blues that you used. The flowers the way you colored them look like they are delicate petals. Thanks for a great video.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@mariguel2011]

I love it!

[@janicescott401]

I love this card. The blue is so pretty.

[@reneecassidy7279]

Beautiful card, Cathy! I’m not really a blue person but have been using it more in my cards lately. I do have some Olo markers and like them a lot. I know Monica will enjoy that card and hoping for a full recovery for her!🥰

[@maryannfox1774]

LOVELY CARD!

[@gardendreamer9117]

Missed the live drat! Just got the email about Sept 2024 Crop & Create. Can’t wait. 😊😊😊 Marked my calendar to remind me to register in a couple weeks…

[@czdesign]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@sidneybaritz6787]

I have been following you since scrapbook days! I am a good deal older than 58! I broke my wrist in January, no card making for me at the moment. I never miss your video ! Love your fun conversation! Usually I watch the reply, but it’s always fun!💕

[@czdesign]

Oh i feel your pain! I broke my wrist in 2018 and there was no crafting for about 6 weeks!

[@barbrule4142]

Cathy, what a beautiful card. I love the blue.

[@krislayne1520]

Really beautiful!

[@melissazabower339]

Beautiful card

[@maggiedawso1715]

Beautiful card Cathy. I am going to get my markers out and have a play. Really enjoy your videos.love from the north East of England and happy birthday for when it comes xx

[@czdesign]

Enjoy!

[@kittymauger7041]

It was nice that you said that through Taylored expressions you can get the set of OLO markers. I wanted to try them, but didn't know where to start. Very nice card with your style of clean yet classy look. I recently purchased the die and has quickly become a favorite!

[@juliesmith3857]

This is such a sweet card

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Very nice card!

[@adelegalpin5353]

Love this card .. so pretty ❤

[@joolesuk4997]

Cathy, and just watching back your live and saw Monicas superchat and comments and it has made me very emotional, as I found you and Gina K whilst undergoing chemo for the third time last year. I have found, through you both, the most wonderful hobby, which brings me so much joy. You are both so upbeat, funny and talented and I eagerly await your posts. The other thing that struck me was the overwhelming messages of support from your followers, which I’m sure means the world to Monica. Thank you for your posts, your live streams, sharing your talent and making me laugh- and Monica, I wish you well as a fellow survivor of 9 years. Just keep going and stay positive! Sending love to the Cathy Z family! ❤️❤️😘

[@czdesign]

Sending YOU a big hug!

[@user-fe1ko8lm1h]

Спасибо, Кэти!

[@getcraftay]

I love that you've been getting into blues! Love this card! Very sweet of you to send to Monica! Not sure if she'll see this, but I'm sending healing vibes ❤

[@lisawhiton7421]

Great card, love the blues.

[@zan_wild]

Mossed the premiere yesterday, missed the live today…dangit! Beautiful card today Miss Cathy, that’s 2 in a row with a colored card base. Thanks for the inspiration, I may need to copy this one for a sympathy card I need to make tomorrow!

[@marthamiller1721]

Love your cards.

[@mn36]

lovely card Cathy Z . simple but elegant

[@pamshea4305]

Gorgeous!

[@lilawetzel8213]

Love this card. I think I'm in love with the cornflower color!

[@elaineerne7699]

I did dry January too and it went all the way through dry February and now I am into dry March! 😊

[@czdesign]

Same here!

[@lisablaus1459]

Thought you were talking about dry markers, lol

[@marzs1214]

Very pretty card. 🌸

[@colleenberg5094]

This card again, very beautiful!😃

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ginamcdonald7854]

I love this card Cathy! The colors are gorgeous, and I love all shades of blue! Thanks for sharing where to get a small set of the markers. I’ve been wanting to try them, but didn’t want to purchase a full set.❤️

[@cathymorris8072]

Cathy, you're so beautiful inside & out! Thx for all the videos!

[@withlovebyamy]

Love my Olo markers!

[@tammihaas4299]

I was watching "unearthed" last night and saw a person holding his pencil like you. It's not so odd, after all. Your coloring reminded me of it. Beautiful, by the way, better than copics. ❤

[@leighstephan9774]

Hi everyone from ND

[@normag1344]

Loved your home state chat today! I was born and raised in Auburn, WA. Knew the Seattle/Everett area well. Dad worked for Boeing. Lots of family still in Yakima. I didn’t go far though, just to southern Washington now. Still love the PNW.

[@czdesign]

I wish I was still in Washington often! But hubby is from Minnesota!

[@kristen2439]

I love the blue.. I love OLOs and copics.. to me it seems like OLOs are more juicy, but that can be good or bad depending on circumstances.. OLOs have new colors coming out in April I can’t wait..

[@user-uc7lo9qp2e]

Lynn Le Bel Beautiful card Cathy! I love the blue!! I use Spectrum Noir tri blend markers and love them! They are great for beginner colouring which is where I am at.

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

👍 on the OLO train. There’s 2 different ink cartridges, they aren’t connected, how can it have anything to do with the ink flow? “Congratulations” Monica. Cathy, thank you for showing us a new technique and the card is fabulous. TYFS.😊

[@czdesign]

OMG! hahaha. Did not even think of that.

[@Cards4Cancer]

I watched on TV so I couldn't comment. Adorable flowers.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I tried to leave a comment on your Blog for a chance to win the card, but I guess I'm too late because there wasn't an option to leave a comment. Sorry I missed - shoulder surgery! Anyway, just wanted to say how much I love your card and the Cornflower cardstock - one of my favorites!! I'm 75 & get pedicures and lashes done every month! LOL

[@czdesign]

Hope you are healing well!

[@betsygreen5048]

I haven't committed myself to any markers yet, so I appreciate your take on them. I have a number of Triblends (from Crop & Create events), a few OLOs, and one of my daughters has some Copics so we share those. Not a good full rainbow of any, though. I always enjoy your lives! Even when they're on replay. (Since a Jennifer we know and love has committed us to suffering in pilates at that time... 😂) Happy Almost Birthday Month! I'm a March also, as is my oldest daughter. 🍀

[@24get24give]

I think with alcohol markers which brand is best for you depends largely on what's important to you, consider what type of nib is available, are the nibs replaceable? is the ink refillable? and, how many colors are there? are they available in open stock? the answers to those questions may determine the best brand for you

[@czdesign]

All good points. Yes!

[@lindaandersen4308]

Hi Cathy from Morra, MN❤🎉

[@maryannfox1774]

I live in Orting!

[@sheilastyrebriere]

Loved watching your video today Cathy, such a beautiful card! I’ve always been copic curious, and wish I had started collecting when I first discovered paper crafting. I was actually discouraged to buy them by the owner of my fav Craft store..told me I really should wait until she had a class for them..except the class didn’t happen. Anywho, love the results of these AI markers on your die cuts today. Would Olo’s be a good beginner set?

[@czdesign]

You know, they could be! You could also try a few Tri Blend markers from Spectrum Noir! You get three colors in one pen and they are very affordable!

[@SarahArnoldTheAccidentalArtist]

I just had a similar bad experience, Cathy! I used Versamark clear ink to watermark my card. I colored the flowers with alcohol markers and restamped it with my Misti n permanent black ink (Gina K obsidian amalgam ink). I went to do a second layer of color and the black started smearing all over my colors!! I think the embossing ink acted like a resist even though it was not embossed with powder and was very dry. So I assume that the black ink stayed ontop with nowhere to absorb. Made a mess! Similar to your ? about not using alcohol markers over embossed images. I don't think it could hurt the nib! Has anyone ever had this experience with the ink smearing? Thanks!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Get card. Thank you.

[@gloriametcalf538]

I'm really late watching your video . Enjoyed watching you color with the olo markers. Awesome card. Who did you say we should watch comparing alcohol markers? Thanks again.

[@czdesign]

Well, not sure about comparing. Maybe someone in the chat said Sandy Allnock?

[@danniellekoehler6828]

The old flick and go😮

[@user-of7pf1pi7v]

P.S. i LOVE MY TRIBLEND MARKERS!!

[@kymnstanley1289]

My son lives in Everett on 63rd

[@suklinkner8684]

You could have just placed a yellow center on the last one and still put the bloom on the back like the other two.

[@sheilacoates3615]

I have a hard time trying to figure out what colors to choose and what blends well with.

[@czdesign]

I still do, too!

[@sheilacoates3615]

Haha, I guess the only thing is to keep practicing with many coloring mistakes, lol. I'm like you, coloring with markers is not my forte but I'll still forge ahead ☺️

[@corijensen2350]

I looked for the stand on Anna Griffin’s site and I couldn’t find it. Any suggestions where to find it?

[@czdesign]

It's here: annagriffin.com/products/craft-lazy-susan?_pos=1&_psq=craf&_ss=e&_v=1.0 And I linked it in my description. : )

[@karenmartell1668]

Small world, Kathy! I grew up in Darrington! Have you heard of it?! :)

[@czdesign]

I feel like yes… I'd have to look it up though to remember where it is!

[@czdesign]

Oh yes, seeing it on the map makes me remember!

[@maggibrowncardlife]

I’m in Seabeck, WA Cathy! Do you know where that is?

[@czdesign]

Now I do! had to look it up! Never been in your neck of the woods! Only on the Seattle/Everett side and occasionally Whidbey Island

[@maggibrowncardlife]

@@czdesign I love Whidbey… We have family that live there! Yes…We literally live in the woods😂! We’re way back in Seabeck. It takes about 30 minutes to get into Silverdale, which is the closest town to us. The “town” of Seabeck consists of a General Store, a pizza hut(literally a little pizza hut ….not the chain Pizza Hut), and a little store that’s in the same building as the General Store. We also have a very small post office. I believe that’s all the businesses technically in Seabeck. I grew up in the Central Valley in California, and moved here 17 years ago after I became very sick as a teen (15) diagnosed with POMS-(Relapsing Progressive type) as well as several other diseases. Along with being paralyzed (quadriplegic at that time and for about 2 1/2 years after that) at the age of 18 and almost dying then from my disease. I could no longer take the horrible heat they have in that area of California……. My parents and I moved here together, and we love it here! Well, my Dad passed a few years ago, but my Mom and I love it here! Only problem living in Seabeck is that we get too much snow, and too many power outages. We finally bought a push start generator last year! That’s a game changer! I just want to tell you, Cathy, how much I enjoy watching your videos and how much you have impacted my life! Since I found you and Jennifer, and Kelly Taylor too, I’ve been a happier person! I find so much joy and happiness in watching people do what I love to do! Making Cards! I hope that you are having a great day, and please know that you truly are impacting the lives of others! I’m pretty isolated… And I’m at home by myself while my Mom’s at work… It just makes me happy to be able to be inspired by you and others! I’m truly grateful!🫶🏻 Sorry for the life story.🙂

[@barbw8972]

if you want a scientific explanation re: embossing powders and alcohol markers, maybe ask JM's hubby? I saw an explanation in the live chat that resonated with the chemist in me... the alcohol might dissolve the embossing powder and it could solidify in the marker tip. It might not be a problem if you do it once or twice, but with repeated use in this manner... well, results may vary. :)

[@barbw8972]

(also, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CARD! I love how it turned out.)

[@czdesign]

Good info.

[@debackard7138]

Beautiful card! I’ve never colored blue flowers before…guess I should branch out huh😊 Thanks for the inspiration Cathy.

[@bunnytoes7200]

Wrapped around your wrist like a bracelet?

[@24get24give]

Dan's voice-over was not great, it was awesome, and so it's kind of cruel to tease us with another, I guess we all need to get our dear husbands and kids to subscribe to get another [sneaky way to get a plaque there, Cathy!]

[@czdesign]

Lol
