Got some new stamps? Now what to do with them?

[REAL TIME VIDEO] Your new stamps arrive and all of a sudden you're struck with designer freeze! I've been there, and today, I'll start from scratch with a stamp set I've never used before. Will it be cute? Or a hot mess? True, I'll go to some tried and true techniques, but I will talk you through some of the design decisions, plus we can have a live chat during the premiere! I filmed this "live" in my craft/dining room so that I could premiere it and we can chat as we go! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer during the premiere! Or, if you catch this after the premiere, leave a comment for me below! All the supplies I'm using are linked below!

“I hope they don’t feel bad!” Haha i love her so much.

[@Favorites2012mine]

Yes! This is a necessary series. I buy too many Stamp Set based on cards I've seen in videos or Instagram. Once I have the stamp set, within a couple of weeks, I have forgotten the inspiration and feel frustrated when I don't know what to do with the stamps. I'd love to know how you approach designing a card. Also, I saw a suggestion as to how to use the multitude of backgrounds that we all have laying around. That would be helpful as well. As ever, thank you!

[@karensstuff6074]

helen schneiderman omg you’re living my unspoken, unadmitted weakness! (At least to my husband lol) so glad I’m not alone!

[@shannonmay6205]

My thoughts exactly

[@MissChelle]

I have the same problem, so now I take a photo on my phone of the card that inspired the purchase as well as the stamp/die. I keep them in an album called ‘purchased” so I know how to find it again. Makes it so much easier and I can go thru it to see my purchased items and I don’t double up. ❤️🇦🇺

[@mjngltn]

@@MissChelle Great idea keeping the pic with the stamp! I take a pic, move it to a folder called card ideas, then forget I have the pic, then can't decide how to use the stamp. 🙄😁

[@theOmega989]

Also, don’t forget everyone, utilize those cellphones and snap a picture of your pre-glued, die-cut i arrangement to help you replicate the arrangement as you glue the pieces down. And take a picture of the finished product, too, so when you give it away, sell it, whatever, you can remember what you did and make it again at a later date

[@czdesign]

I always forget this!

[@lyndabrock7223]

Thank you for your tutorial very helpful easy to follow Hug's Lynda xx

[@dsmith1501ds]

I made 2 cards today and forgot to photograph AGAIN! Every time I forget and can never replicate

[@michelleadamchak1330]

"Common margins are my jam".....that's when I lost it. I 💝 this channel so much. I was unaware you could emboss with a stencil. Today I learned.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@lootseepanganiban-lustan278]

What I love is the simplicity of the card. Simple is always good 👍👍👍

[@DoLallyCrafts]

I am so pleased you moved the sentiment. I was shaking my head, saying no no no, don't put it there!!! The bouquet was your focal point, you needed separation. It looks BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for a great video. I agree with Laura Bassen, you're brilliant! I look forward to more in this series.

[@kazoomi2]

Great video and I really like the way the narrative went. I like to hear what’s going through your mind as you worked on it. And I’m glad it’s not a full live with a chat. I know lots of folks love the chats but for me they are distracting with all the “hi” to so-and-so and the responses to a comment that was written a while ago. Your sharing of your thoughts as you create is what I really am looking for as I learn from your thoughts and reasons for doing, or not doing, things.

[@czdesign]

This format was REALLY fun to try. I liked chatting after the fact, you know? Doing a premiere (and that was a first for me) was really fun! Will be doing this again!

[@nikiakbik5896]

Yes I don’t really like wading thru all the Hi’s to this person and that person to get to the meat of the video info! Cathy I love you sense of humor and how you are with yourself. Kind and funny!

[@candymarcase5076]

I love that you’re real.

[@lyllydd]

I really love that you explain the card elements in terms of design. I follow other crafters on KZbin, and it they don't really explain why they chose certain colors, textures, etc. They just make it seem like instinct, which doesn't help when I go to make a card. Thank you!!!

[@stacieboo2]

OMG that's the god dame cutest wee stamping platform I have ever seen just love it so, I need one of the smaller ones just like this wee one, card is just stunning xx

[@CraftyNani66]

There is no right or wrong decision. Just have fun and make yourself happy. Your card is lovely.

[@isabelle7403]

I just love your ability to be so real. It makes you relatable and entertaining. 💖💖💖

[@maryjomoderegger657]

Very cool😎!!!! I like that you put the sentiment under the flowers so you can see the whole arrangement. Sometimes things get too covered up!! I have many stamps I get and then am stuck this was really cool!!

[@kathy4picturesbaids37]

I like where you put the sentiment. It balances between the leaf and flowers without detracting for them.

[@wonderwonder30]

This is fantastic! The new “thing” always gets the love while all the other stuff gets thrown to the side. This makes me want to go through my stamps and such to see what I haven’t used in a long time. Edit: this topic could apply to everything we own. I would love to see this with other things too, like embossing powder, markers and all the other things we “have” to have.

[@czdesign]

Couldn't agree more!

[@melissaihler9389]

Thank you for being so real in your video. It's validating for those of us who sometimes agonize over our card making. Also, I like where you put your sentiment! That's where I would have put it.

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@trudievick2359]

You did AWESOME! Keep those videos coming. Love the simplicity as well as elegance of your cards. Thanks for sharing.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@winepaperstains]

Nooooo! I subscribed, liked, circle of you and coffee on hand!!! This is so different and cool! I'm also a hot mess and excited to watch your videos!!! Live crafting is the best! I love embossing! Funny, how I look at my phone and was shopping for embossing powders then ran into your tutorial. You have me hooked! Thank you!!

[@czdesign]

Thanks for subbing! Hot messes unite!

[@summer5851]

I'm so happy I'm not the only one with this dilemma, new stamps, background stamps, and also stencils...now what do I do? To many are in the, waiting to be used bin. I love that you're doing this series. I'm so ready for this! Thanks ever so much, Cathy!

[@NiceLoki]

Oh Cathy, I love how natural you are in your videos. 0:42 you say we don't want four minutes of you sitting there pondering... I say "it only takes you 4 minutes?" 🤣 2:40 "oh there's me in a little circle" I like seeing you in the little circle while we watch you creating. I loved this video, thank you for discussing the ensemble and your thoughts on where to put the sentiment. I'm never sure if what I'm putting together will appeal to anyone else, I have no confidence in my design ability. I don't know why some things work and others don't.

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@NiceLoki]

I've just added a bit more to my original comment.

[@patriciacotronea4245]

Love listening to you talk and teach. You are funny but helpful at the same time. Thank you for the videos you share with us!

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@louisehorner]

Kathy, making these videos is a good idea and I hope you continue. I have been making cards and building up my stash and confidence for about four years, but I learned helpful things today about my process. Comments like, “makes everything three times” really helps me to forgive myself for not getting it right the first time. Actually, I am finally moving beyond the concern for perfection, but reinforcement is a good thing! Now I am thinking about those card makers that found their love of paper crafting during a pandemic and don’t even have someone to guide them. You are doing the right thing and it is a gift to others. Thank you!

[@karenjudy6936]

Thank you for doing this series. This is my biggest struggle with cardmaking. I tend to spend more time researching others' ideas for using a particular stamp set, then I run out of time or patience for making the actual card. I want to do more creating on my own and less "borrowing" someone else's idea. Thank you, thank you, thank you again for doing this series!!!

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@MindyWaters]

Same!!!

[@jocelyncrosby815]

I do the same thing especially with the card kits from 2 subscriptions. I do get compliments tho from the CASEing (LOL), and like others have said, I get stamps after seeing a demo but when they arrive I've forgotten where I saw the demo (ROFLOL)

[@lobo1368]

[@karenquigely]

Your design was perfection. I used to buy Simple Scrapbooks just to see your designs I have never actually made a scrapbook. Showing ways to determine how to use a stamp set is something that we really need to see. Can't wait for the next one.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much, Karen!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Cathy this is a FAB video!! It was truly helpful to watch you go through the process of putting the card together, especially without having an idea to begin with. I have that same stamp set, as well as MANY others, that I’ve never used. I see a set & buy it with an idea in mind. Often by the time the stamp arrives I’ve forgotten my idea & I have no idea what to do. This will be a fantastic series & helpful for so many of us. Thank you so much for your time & your teaching of what you know. Hugs to you. 🥰

Cathy, I’m have been binge watching all of your KZbin videos. I woke up Wednesday at 3:21AM and you were still making cards. So now I have to figure out where fell asleep. I really love your more recent videos. I like seeing your face and love your “quirky” personality. I hope you are not offended. Remember you will always have new viewers and they will have varying degrees of experience.

[@czdesign]

i AM SO GLAD THAT I LUCKED UP ON THIS VIDEO!!!!! I JUST LEARNED ONE TECHNIQUE USING THE STENCIL WITH Distress inks and a baby wipe. Now the dry emboss technique with a stencil. I'm too happy . This has taken my card making to another lever. I have quite a few stamps and that technique was awesome!!! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your great videos!!! Keep doing what you love and Happy Crafting!

The flowers are so beautiful that I liked the separation! Great series! You are so fun Cathy! 💓🌸🌼🌸

[@laurawright9215]

I love watching the process it helps me know I’m not crazy with my own process. Loved the card. One thing I’ve found is if my sentiment goes over my design my design reaches evenly eg top and bottom. If I’m setting it of below as you have done I create a little white space for that sentiment strip. Love your work

[@imascrapaddict]

Great video and beautiful card. You crack me up. I agree with your comment on the EK Success Cutter Bee scissors. I too have poked a hole in my finger with their very sharp tip. Lol We must pay attention when dealing with sharp blades and hot items. Lol Live and learn. Looking forward to your next video. Take care.

[@barbsdee3831]

I agree with the placement of the sentiment 👍🏼 Lovely card 🥰

[@SarahCoxWrites]

This is so helpful. I have a fair few stamp sets that I have never used mainly because I have no idea, but what I learned today is that I just need to get them out and play with them and see what works together. I liked the sentiment on the flowers, but I preferred where you ended up putting it - it almost helped to frame the flowers with the white space at the bottom and the right, like a back to front L. Thanks Cathy, yet another great tutorial. xx

Hey Melissa, it is weird… i don't know how KZbin algorithms work. But yeah, I've been making videos now for three years and all of a sudden, THIS video gets more views.

[@Sylvia.Torres]

It came out beautifully. 😍

[@juliewexler380]

So great to watch your process. You're right- there is no wrong decision-- both sentiment locations will work, but they result in a different vibe. I personally like the separation as everything else overlaps, so I like the distinction in the sentiment standing alone. Additionally, the message-- especially in this time-- is simple yet powerful, and it jumps out more this way. I typed the above while you were deciding, and it looks like you landed in the same place! Love it! Thanks, Cathy! Looking forward to more of these!

[@lindajackson6793]

You inspire me. Most of the videos are detailed you make it seem a little more workable. I can relate my craft room is a closet and when I need to use my machines I wind up in the dinning room. And I love when you address your viewers not that you hear us yelling back at you 🌹☺️ Great job and thanks for all your get tips.

[@patriciahoppe9336]

Another great video Cathy! It's fun to "see" your thought process. As I watch I'm thinking do this or that. Nice to hear why you make your choices. I'm very excited to continue watching this series! I agree with the background idea-so many cool techniques to try and then I don't know how I want to turn it into a card. Th finished product turned out beautifully. Thank You!

[@stampnurse]

So glad you're doing this series! This has happened to me with so many purchases! I love bouquets, but also have trouble arranging them. Emboss resist is absolutely my go-to! I'll take your blender sponges--haha! I love the sentiment on top of the flowers, but I think you made the right choice because the bouquet is toward the top of the panel. If it was centered, I'd put the sentiment on top of the bouquet. Beautiful card & now I want to try embossing a stencil!

[@abigailshellis8314]

This was a really helpful video, thank you so much. I would also love some sort of "mini series", in the same style as this video, but using the same stamp set in a few different ways please. I find that once I have one idea for a set I struggle to come up with something different to do!

[@czdesign]

Yes, that is a good idea. Or at least I could make more samples to share at the end, which would save time! yeah?
