[@emmastubbs2167]

Only just had chance to catch up with this unboxing video...... Fab cards as always, full of inspiration and fun :-)

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@peggydavis9475]

I save every one of your videos so I can watch them whenever I want to! You are the only one that I save everyone of their videos! ❤

[@DianaDayDreams]

LOL! “It does not suck.” Understatement of the year. LOL!

[@suemichaels8867]

Cathy you have outdone yourself! Your cards are always beautiful but you must have been inspired creating this bunch.

[@shortiewright4159]

Oh Cathy, what a pretty set of cards. I love your coloring and your fussy cutting is great!! You always do an amazing job. Your unboxings are so much fun to watch and I look forward to them each and every month. I've been wanting to try the Colorista pencils. What a lovely surprise. I love that tools and supplies are also part of the kits. Thank you so much Cathy for sharing your cards with us.💌

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@GidandPaige]

I love kit unboxing day! Me: *fingers crossed* please don’t love it, please don’t love it Also Me: add to cart

[@czdesign]

Hahah! I'm glad you liked it!

[@elainebiz-c7w]

This is me every single time. Lol

[@angelicajacobs584]

Id really love the poppies for Remembrance Day!! My bro and his wife are in the military and poppy is a huge symbol in Canada for the military and veterans

[@huginanenvelope]

Genius gambol in a pen, better control and no stump mess

[@roxanneklinger3828]

My favorite card is the butterfly shaker card. Your coloring for the poppy was beautiful. And the little heart is so cute. Great card make today.

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

A wonderful stash of cards for anything that might come up. Very pretty looking and the crowning glory the final card with the butterfly transparency. So pretty. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. 🇨🇦

[@AndiHesk]

I love them all and to my surprise love the shaker card the most, I think it is the butterfly and the colours you used. Stunning. Xxxxxxx

[@brigit2470]

Excellent idea to put the Gambol in a pen!!! I love your cards as always. It is so relaxing watching your artistic abilities! thanks so much!

[@dianebuchanan9571]

Will the Gamsol evaporate from the pen?

[@brigit2470]

She put the Gamsol in an empty Copic marker so the brush end would soak up the Gamsol and she would then keep a cover on it when not using.

[@spschmauch]

Great idea for the gamsol pen!

[@bobbisidorenkov5563]

This group of cards are some of my favorites I’ve seen you make. Really great job! Just beautiful.

[@rebeccabrown3898]

The strips would make a beautiful quilt card, too.

[@wildflowerblessings]

I’m giggling at your enthusiasm! You are a delight to watch and very, very talented! :) Thank you for sharing all these techniques!!

[@annmariesharratt3885]

Love them all, but the butterfly shaker is dreamy! The colors of the dots is perfect with the butterfly and paper.

[@annmariesharratt3885]

And, should say "dots are"...

[@cherylpeters59]

I really love the tip on the gamsol in an empty pen. Who would have thought! GREAT idea Cathy

[@suklinkner8684]

I'm watching the replay so it shows great minds think alike.

[@shellyp8731]

Oh em Gee, CZ, you hit it out if the park with all your cards today! It was SO much fun to watch you create these works of art - it’s a treat to see how pleased you are when things work out so well! I know that feeling well when I’m creating too! It’s interesting that you commented at then end about how much you gain from challenging yourself to create on-the-spot…I could see that creative spark ⚡️ all along as you worked today. Just love your work, Cathy. And, your hair looked lovely today too…such pretty curls. ❤❤❤

[@nancygerard416]

When I saw the butterfly shaker card, I thought, wait that’s not Cathy Z’s beautiful and elegant simple layout. So I had to watch the video. Your cards are amazing, I don’t think I can pick a favorite. There all beautiful. Thanks for all the great inspiration.

[@judibradshaw1948]

STUNNING CARDS, KATHY!!! LOVE Them all!!!

[@tinaofferjost7330]

WOW Cards this month, Cathy! All lovely but I love the butterfly shaker card the best. :) Thank you for sharing your creativity. :)

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@theresaparker8945]

You were on a roll with each card and note you rocked today!.

[@maryannsomerville3505]

For ‘not being a colourer’ CZ -> you do a great job!! Loved that poppy …. 💖

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@kmmiller9876]

Those poppy stamps will be perfect for all the cards I donate to the VA Hospital for our service men and women! Your cards are beautiful. Your coloring is gorgeous. AND, filling the pen with Gamsol is genius! P.S. I will be happy if the poppies bloom by June. I think we will have snow here in the Cities until June.❄ Thanks for all the wonderful layout ideas.

[@Teresa-Q]

Cathy these are all so beautiful…especially Lovin’ that butterfly shaker…kit is awesome …you are such an inspiration…thank you 💕💕💕

[@cthurbz5146]

Such a great job, Cathy! And I thought your coloring skills were spot on. I think my favorite is the shaker card.

[@valdaritter8159]

A perfect day of cards....lovely choices!

[@pambarber9139]

So excited to get this card kit !!! Great job Simon says stamps 👏👏👏

[@dianahults3059]

Perfect color on the poppy. My mom planted them years ago and the liveon. Exactly the same color as you describe. Must be the Minnesota poppy color. You really made some cool cards with this unboxing.

[@maryloukemp6271]

I think your unboxing and creating such gorgeous cards is such a joy. I'm getting ready to watch some more of your card making and unboxing videos. Thanks for sharing your card making talents.

[@Indiartworks]

Hey Cathy! It's my favorite time of the month.. kit release date! Yay!!! So good to hear your voice and see your beautiful face! Btw....I love your deco blue nails💅! It looks like you have perfectly dyed Easter eggs on the tips of your fingers (or maybe small Jordan Almonds☺️)....either way, it's making me hungry for yumminess in my tummiest!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@Indiartworks]

Thank me for wanting to nibble on your fingertips....Lol! ( That doesn't sound right....yikes!

[@morelle3292]

Beautiful cards - All! Great job Cathy!

[@jax_08]

Great inspiration! Thank you Cathy 🙏My fussy cutting usually turns out better than I expect which is always a nice surprise. I'm excited to get my kit!

[@pattychalas]

Love all the card that you made! You are so creative and love your great vibes and your creativity!!! Thanks for sharing !!

[@lenora43]

Beautiful cards Cathy Z. ❤

[@aquinyc]

All gorgeous! Laura

[@robinbecker9222]

You are so fun to watch and I love the butterfly shaker card

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

Love all these cards and I think I need this kit. Both my mom and my brother in law worked for the post office so as long as the card and envelope aren’t more than an ounce and fit inside their little measuring thing at the post office then it doesn’t require extra postage so the only one that might require extra is the shaker card because of the weight. My whole wedding invitation bundle only needed one stamp

[@jerryclark7872]

Cathy, love watching you create cards with the kits. You have such great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

[@monicacable1111]

What a great idea Putting gamsol in a pen!!

[@lisagardner1644]

Love the die-cut cam! I just ordered a lazy Susan for my Gemini Jr so I can do the same thing. It’ll save me from having to move it every time I want to use it. Thanks for the great idea and another great video! I missed out on this kit but got a lot of great ideas. I have to try some of those Tim Holtz clear thingys. 😊

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

When I really need to fussy cut I trace the outline of the whole stamp (light pencil mark) before I pick the stamp up with the MISTI, to give me a guideline. Some stamps work better than others, but it gives me a starting point. My fav is card #3.

[@fionascott4887]

Cathy these cards are beautiful I just love watching your videos and being inspired by your take on these beautiful kit contents !

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@phylliszimmerman444]

Beautiful cards. The last one is my favorite.

[@christineh3866]

Lovely cards. I especially loved the envelope design. Looking forward to getting my kit 😊

[@ebyn77]

gemini on a swivel board... MIND BLOWN!!

[@czdesign]

Makes life better. hahah

[@lizmcinnis5217]

Love love love!!!😍

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Goodness, your amazing collection of cards here has overwhelmed me with their stunning variety! Thank you so much for sharing this great video and I hope you have a super week. 😃

[@lindaandersen4308]

Love these cards Cathy!!!!❤❤❤

[@ruthannsmith3470]

Clean and simple, I love it!!!!!

[@kathygroff4526]

Cathy, So good to see each part of this kit!!! Your not being an artist is totally false….you are an artist and really enjoyable to watch and hear working! Great to see those transparencies, such a different designing piece. TFS, friend. 💌

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@cynthiaborah2348]

Great cards you designed today! 🥰

[@robinmcauley3462]

CathyZ these are so pretty! Love the idea of gamsol in a pen!

[@sallythomas2070]

What pen? And how do you add gamsol to it?

[@theresaparker8945]

Thank you so much hun. Caught your replay. Great idea for the gamsol…

[@Laura_D]

I’m only halfway through but wanted to say thanks for the tip about the storage envelopes and the TH sets. (I’ve got a lot of TH red rubber sets and while theoretically they’re supposed to stay on the stiff plastic sheets, I’ve lost at least one stamp that went AWOL from the sheet. Hopefully I’ll find Santa and the reindeer someday.)

[@kathryncrowley7360]

Oh I love these Cathy, You are such an inspiration 💖

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

❤❤❤❤❤ your unboxing videos!!!

[@czdesign]

Yay! Thank you!

[@agwynne50]

You had me at the tweezers...and poppies...etc etc! ! Order placed (my early birthday present to myself ...LOL)

[@lilawetzel8213]

Love all your cards! So Cute!

[@reneedilworth2530]

Love the poppy colouring

[@craftingwithpaula]

You dis a great job, beautiful cards!

[@wendykidd]

Great cards! (and I feel just like you do about fussy cutting sentiments. I NEED those dies.)

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Cathy, I love how you do the unboxing! Thank you for showing everything!

[@eclaws13]

Beautiful! Love the shaker.

[@valeriehunter7351]

Absolutely fabulous! You are one talented lady!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@reba86442]

Love spending time with you. Great ideas

[@victoriaparis2791]

You really are doing a great job on these cards. I may need this kit.

[@patticallihan8515]

Cathy, your cards designs are amazing ❤. I can’t wait for my kit to arrive. I did order the die set to go with it. Thank you for sharing I love your Cards.❤❤❤

[@katyglenn9271]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@carolestrawn8755]

You are so much fun. I love how excited you get about your projects. BTW, your hair looks great today. And your SSS nails. I love the idea of the gamsol pen. Much easier than using those stumps for blending.

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@erinhamilton9818]

Great cards Cathy!

[@ButFirstCoffeeSuzyOberholtz]

Unboxed my 1st kit today. April kit. I was so excited even though I knew what to expect

[@czdesign]

Enjoy!!!

[@tonikwaiser1832]

Gorgeous!!!

[@tammymoore5392]

Great cards. Love your creative mind!

[@sharonyoung8251]

Another option for blending colored pencils is the Prisma Color blending pencil which is just clear wax. No fumes.

[@lynnerourke4556]

You did awesome on these cards. Thank you 😊

[@sandis6177]

Wonderful cards and great video! Thanks for the ideas.

[@racheljakubiak1235]

Wow! So creative!

[@lizjohnson1174]

Hahahaha....you cracked me up on this one. Of course, you always do. But the fussy cutting part had me laughing the hardest. I absolutely HATE fussy cutting. It makes me feel anxious! I'm not sure why. I know it's only paper but I really don't want to mess it up. I would rather take the time to create an svg file in order for my Cricut to cut the stamped item than fussy cut. Crazy I know. And those cards were beautiful! I love them so much. I especially love those transparent designs. I wasn't sure how those were meant to be used, but you've given me some great ideas! Thank you!! I can't wait until the next video.

[@czdesign]

Can you do a scan, trace and cut in Cricut? I swear you can do it in Silhouette. I never think to try! My Silhouette is gathering dust somwhere!

[@lizjohnson1174]

@@czdesign You most certainly can. If you scan and turn it into a png you can normally clean up the background and add it to your images. Then you use the offset and it works great. Of course you can only do offset on a computer not an iPad. 😣 For me working on a computer and creating the offset of the stamp is really relaxing. At least it's not FUSSY CUTTING! LOL Yes try it on your Silhouette. I love the Silhouette software better than Cricut. I do a lot on there and then transfer it to Cricut for cutting. It's pretty simple. You're MY crafting genius so I know if I can do it, you can to! LOL Get the dust off that Silhouette!

[@lindacruz3642]

Wonderful cards!!!

[@pearlegates7079]

Love all of them so much!

[@lauriechilton8074]

Oh my goodness Cathy! It was so enjoyable to watch you create these adorable cards. I just ordered the kit and I’m so excited to get it and use your creative ideas. Many thanks❤

[@ambermyer7411]

Beautiful cards Cathy, and your fussy cutting is great! Its not my strong suit at all, but yes yours looks very nice!

[@margolaverdure1006]

Loved the cards AND the nail polish!

[@czdesign]

Thank you!

[@dianebuchanan9571]

This video convinced me to buy this month’s kit- I passed last month. I wish Simon would do fewer flowers, but everything else in the kit is pretty cool, and your cards sealed the deal this month!

[@jax_08]

I feel the same about the kit theme similarities! It's usually flowers or something 'cutesy'.

[@pjhouser1]

Me too! I love every one of the cards Cathy made.

[@LisaVornhagen]

I really love all of those cards, but the butterfly shaker card is my favorite! I really love that butterfly!

[@CupAndInk]

Thank you for sharing ideas with the kit! I can't wait for mine to arrive :) BTW, your hair looks beautiful with the waves!

[@veleriaalexander8073]

Thanks for sharing your time and skills.

[@IRC1026]

An AMAZING set of cards - all different and so beautiful. Love the shaker card! Thanks Cathy! xoxox

[@kathikovach8695]

You are such a gem!❤ This box will be mine...poppies are my absolute favorite flower!

[@dianalama1591]

I enjoy watching your videos but today was super great!!! I’ve got the kit and have used some of the items but got some good ideas for using the rest of my kit👍 THankYou for sharing😍

[@cherylnewling9047]

Lovely set. I live all the cards but my favourite would have to be the butterfly 🦋.

[@mycreativerootscrafts]

I absolutely love watching your videos Cathy!! You are such a joyful creator! Beautiful cards ♥

[@rhondalilla4260]

Your cards are stunning. Really enjoy your cannel and your humor.

[@victoriaparis2791]

Mini slim line cards don’t cost extra to mail. However a square envelope does cost more.

[@cherry-Ls]

Your fussy cutting is great 👍🏽

[@maryhano1966]

All the cards are beautiful but the butterfly shaker has my heart!

[@inkyspirits4995]

I love these ephemera pieces from Tim Holtz. I cabby wait to receive this kit. Who doesn't love poppies?
