Emboss resist card + handmade envelope using one main color of ink and basic fussy cutting

[@AnnieMorandArtisteFlyée]

Oohh pretty Card AND Enveloppe hehe 😁. I LOVE watching your videos; you make me smile, even laugh out loud lol... and I always learn something with every one of your streams! 🤗 Thank you for all your funny, heartfelt and "humble" videos. I love that you don't pretend to know everything. 😊 Your videos are so regreshing, especially this year. 🙂 Thank you, Cathy!!! 🥰🌻 P.S.: you are right; Kristina and Jennifer are amazing! 😉

[@czdesign]

I'm so glad!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

You don't have to sell yourself short: your creativity is top-notch! This card is pretty and cheery.

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

I love emboss resist & your cool idea! Now I’ll always have a matching envelope “available!” You crack me up with your hair. I once felt a loose hair on my chin but couldn’t locate it. I asked my hubby for help. He thought I’d said cheek & asked which one! 😂 Thanks for sharing this! 😊❤️

[@czdesign]

I swear those hairs grow overnight. I wish they would grow in my eyebrows instead.

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Gorgeous matching envelope. 🥰 I love how the emboss resist technique turned out on both the card and envelope. The color is beautiful too. ❤️

[@gerilynne1955]

I enjoy listening to you. When we were kids we would challenge each other to color an whole color page from our coloring books in only one color. It was fun. Why not? Black n white photos are just one color of blacks with shadows and lights.

[@susanhamilton3212]

I love the address panel and your attention to detail using a water resistant finish to protect the ink from running if the envelope gets wet being delivered on a rainy day. I once received an super-thin paper airmail letter written in fountain pen and yes, it was delivered in the pouring rain and hardly a single word of the letter was legible. A lovely card and matching envelope, so pretty :)

[@susanjohnson318]

I bought the WRMK Envelope Punch Board (cheap at Tuesday Morning). I sat down with a bunch of decorated papers (also cheap at Tuesday Morning) and made all sorts of different sizes of envelopes. I had so much fun and became very good at it. Now, when I want an envelope, I grab a square of decorated paper and make an envelope very quickly. You will love it! Though, I must do the matching envelope like you did! I have been making lots of cards for my church -- for members to send to nursing homes w/no visiting, for the pastors to send to various members. One of my pastors said how my envelopes were so cheerful, as well as the cards. I seal them with double sided tape also and put to pieces on the the flap, so once the pastors and staff use them, they can be sealed to send through the mail.

[@czdesign]

Wonderful!

[@teresabetancourt4734]

Hi! Cathy. Thank you for your video. I also have the 123 board, and as you, Christina made me buy it. And, no I have not used it. Maybe, now that I saw you, I will. I really like the fact that you are a transition between the card making icons and us. It is a happy in between, and very needed! Please keep it up 👍

[@mck9496]

Kristina would be thrilled to receive this pretty card! Thanks for the fun video. Your antics make me smile, and I loved being introduced to the new TH shade! Have a fun weekend!!!

[@cl-wc9kd]

I never wanted to make an envelope but now I want to give it a try. I have a punch board I haven't even opened for years. I think I will crack it open today. As always, you are a pleasure to watch Cathy!

[@czdesign]

You can do it!

[@jodieb4970]

I love the 1-2-3 Punch Board, and I love making envelopes. I find it easier to score from the top down. I find the score tool gets caught on the paper if I go from the edge to the top. Kristina scores from the edge to the top all the time with no issues. But she's amazing. Love your card. That stamp set is gorgeous.

[@Peppermint_Paper]

Cathy, you have outdone yourself! Is that even possible? ...lol You continue to inspire and make me smile (sometimes laugh out load). I share your love of geometric, rainbow colors, and graphics. Hugs and blessings to you and your family❤️

[@czdesign]

Wow, thank you!

[@Ladycrafty6]

I love this card and envelope! Your videos are so refreshing and funny! I will definitely try the envelope as I’ve never thought of doing that! Thank you for making my day... well night ... it seems I’m watching this at 1:35 AM! 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🥰

Thank you so much!

[@georgannsmith1827]

Yay! Thank you! Yes, my voice over videos are shorter!

[@vickiscott8200]

You are an amazing crafter. You make everything look so easy and turn out so beautiful while the whole time you put a smile on our face. You make me a beginner cardmaker feel like I can do some of that too. Thank you so much for not forgetting us older yet newer crafters. Stay safe and healthy.

[@czdesign]

That is great to hear, Vicki!

[@terismith4333]

You go girl! I make envelopes only if I have an odd size card, but I've never thought to colour the front of them like this, leaving an area to write the address. Kirstina is brilliant, & way out of my league. I'm not the most creative person in the world. I'm delighted when I see a notification that you have a new video & I don't fast forward a second of it because who knows what bit of humour I may miss, or a word of crafting wisdom. I love the idea of emboss resist using just one colour. I'm going to do that on my next card. Thanks for the tip of the Avery removable labels. I find masking paper just too expensive for my meagre budget, to be honest. Thanks Cathy!

[@czdesign]

Yeah, the price on that label paper is great!

[@vlawton100]

I think you did a great job! You make a difference I can't watch you and not smile! You make me feel better on rough days just watching you so thank you for that! on the other hand I wasn't going to buy this stamp but now I am!

[@czdesign]

I'm so glad!

[@donnamovesian6345]

Thank you for being you! I love your sense of humor! Even your most simple tutorials are filled with laughs. Now I will try a matching envelope.

[@margaretschuering622]

Great job with the emboss resist! That Crackling Campfire is a great color. That 1-2-3 punch looks interesting. Hmmmm..... Too bad I missed the Paper Rose Studio Stamp/Die Combo from SSS Stamptember 2020. I found that I kept missing all the stamps I wanted from Stamptember. Maybe I have to sleep next to my laptop and keep refreshing my screen to see when they are available and get first dibs. LOL!

[@bethjeans3780]

Simply lusciously stunning. WRMK could learn a bit more about contrast when deciding on colors for their boards! In fact you could teach them!

[@czdesign]

Yeah I can't read it at all and I don't think that's because of my drastic need for a new prescription but maybe.

[@bethjeans3780]

Poppies are my fave! Such a pretty card and envelope. I love my punch board and really enjoy making envelope boxes to put sets of cards in and give them as gifts. They’re not very wide so I fill one with cards for different occasions and one with envelopes and tie them together with ribbon. Try it - you’ll be hooked! Lol

I buy 12x12 pads of decorated paper cheap at Tuesday Morning for my envelopes. The pieces left over from making the envelopes go in colored files (one for each color).

[@OffKilterCrafterIan]

Great job! So glad you got the 1-2-3 Punch Board. It is great! I did notice that you started outward and moved to the center when scoring the paper. You might try putting the score tool in the top part (under the button) first and move outward. Under the button has a better guide so you stay in the line more easily. At least it was for me. But if that works better for you then, you do you boo!

[@czdesign]

Ohhhh, okay! I will try that, Ian. It did feel clunky coming in from the outside! doh!

[@carolynjones3173]

Hello Cathy, I have used clear embossing powder for the past 15 years: I use it with a really good ink like Versafine Onyx Black or Versafine Clair in all their colours. I then use the clear powder and, if the stamp is a solid or silhouette I heat from underneath and get really lovely intense glossy effects. In the early days I would use clear embossing ink pad with a black or coloured powder but often experienced problems with the black or dark coloured powder sticking where I didn't want it : I get MUCH better, cleaner results this way, For mettalic effects, which I don't often use I have to use gold, silver or copper powder.

[@czdesign]

I need to try that!
