Covering Up Your Card Mistakes

[@kimglasgow8401]

My old eyes must be going out on me! I never saw your mistake (and I am not a new crafter)!! I do like when y'all share your mistakes and then share how you can overcome and make a gorgeous card!

[@kimberlywilson7281]

Thank you for showing us it is okay to be less than perfect. That is what keeps me from crafting most frequently.

[@gloriametcalf538]

Cathy, your card is perfect, and I wouldn't notice the imperfection, so you did a great job covering it up. I've covered up some boo boos in the past. I hate to waste. Thank you for showing us your imperfection as we're all human and mistakes happen. I really like the colors you used.

[@rhondareynolds8007]

Love these cards. Such beautiful colors and so perfect for cards for many of my friends, who like me are retired teachers who love to read!

[@donnajuchtzer576]

I wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out. Your cards are always great. Love your videos, process and of course your fun personality. Thanks for the video.

[@paulinecook138]

Many times I've had to use the "cover it up" technique. Thanks, Cathy, for showing that it's ok to cover up mistakes.

[@lisagavin4719]

What a great video cathy. It's nice to see that when making cards even when a 'pro' mistakes can and do still happen and I think this makes it so much more relatable to people who feel like they are doing something wrong when they actually aren't. ❤

[@marilynbarnick3013]

It’s so nice to know that a wonderful designer also makes mistakes too on their cards! Thanks Cathy! Great video and fun fantastic cards.

[@czdesign]

We all make mistakes, even those of us who make it look easy! 😉

[@marilynbarnick3013]

You’re a sweetheart ❤️

[@Fab10301]

This is a lovely card! Finally, a beautiful book theme die and stencil! I am so excited!

[@lindaschaner7306]

I couldn’t even tell what you did wrong! It looked great to me and I’ve been stamping for 30+ years!! Thanks for the great ideas!

[@loreeogg4583]

Just another reason I love your content! You keep it real! I love them!

[@stampintt]

I love that you kept in the boo-boo so we could see how to save the project! Book clubs are so hot right now...such a timely set!

[@carolw0109]

Those are so cute and I would never have never noticed the error! Thanks for the tip though!

[@patriciawilson4135]

Girl, it really didn't show up but liked your fix. I think you are like me and if it's not perfection then it's "cr--" but this was cute and makes me want to get my book out and read. Thanks so much for the great tips and encouragement to all of us.

[@barbw8972]

Great cards and awesome tips for forging on, even when things aren’t exactly what your intended!

[@czdesign]

Thanks! Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches.

[@LisaVornhagen]

It's great to be reminded that perfection is overrated! Love the color combo on the cards! I think it's probably my favorite.

[@maryannward7771]

Love the cards & love the volor combos you used!

[@elaineerne7699]

I love that you help us cover up our mistakes!!!!!❤

[@erinhamilton9818]

Thanks for showing us that everyone makes mistakes and showing us how to roll with it!❤

[@dianegreiner4054]

Been there, done that. 😊 These are cool products, and the end result turned out great!

[@angelajoy4829]

super cute cards! I really like your color combos.

[@EmmaLouLoves]

Great cover up and fab cards. You could slice each row of books and put a strip of paper in between to make shelf. So many different ways to use that die. Oooooh one row could go on it's side and be a bookmark, like a stack of books, maybe with a ribbon. Brain is working overtime now, he he.

[@czdesign]

So many ways, right?

[@CardsbyMaaike]

ah good to see it back ;-) they're gorgeous and I love the colors you've used, and yes, I have had to cover up many a mistake or accident ;-) I think i would have cut off the bottom row and diecut another, but I like the way you have saved it more, I probably wouldn't have seen that option in the heat of the moment

[@dianelorello6938]

I didn’t see what was wrong! Now I have go back and look!

[@janetingacollins6409]

When I say this card I had no idea it was supposed to be books - still don’t really see it as books 😬 Nice save Cathy!

[@suee5617]

I love this set! Uh oh. I’m going shopping. 😊

[@robinkuketz3412]

Thanks for showing how to deal with those pesky ink blending errors.

[@shirleymcneely1994]

Great cover-up. Cute card, you're a master

[@JoAnnRossBooks]

Thanks!

[@czdesign]

JoAnn! Thank you so much!

[@suewietsma8585]

Great card and colors.

[@melissazabower339]

And if the 2nd card had the mistake, you could use the extra books to cover it. There's almost always a way to "save" it! Beautiful 💛😊

[@czdesign]

Almost always!

[@kchristen4107]

Live these! Great way to hide the happy accident!

[@stephanieSimmons214]

Beautiful card and excellent recovery! Wooohoooo!

[@tewmuch7342]

Thanks for the updated version☺️

[@bobbyfitzgerald4165]

Cards turned out beautiful! Happy New Year Cathy Z❤🎉

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!

[@trudydolson8284]

Cathy you have another winner 🎉

[@KarenV-e1w]

Thanks for showing how to fix a boo boo! Great idea, and no one would ever see it!

[@joannbedsaul6068]

Thanks Cathy!!

[@czdesign]

You're welcome! 😉

[@valsfaves787]

Good save👏🏻

[@cindyhunt6397]

Great card. Love this for book lovers. And yeah, what mistake?

[@alisonnet2845]

Very helpful video! Thank you!

[@743linda]

Cute card❤

[@Teresa-Q]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@trishs325]

You’re human! Go figure! Thank you for being one of us 😊

[@corinarazo1404]

Take two!

[@KYATKAT]

Thanks this helps ... Lois

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

It always happens towards the end 😤 and usually I have to let the expletives fly 🤭

[@czdesign]

Oh girl, I had MANY today when I realized I had to re-edit this whole video. hahahah

[@robbinmiller7501]

Hi Cathy, Happy New Year ! This is such a great lesson ! I adore the book case effect . Do you know where I can pick up that fish tail thingy ? AND: I hope you have a nice and lovely day :).

[@czdesign]

Yes! They are in my supply list about halfway down. sentiment label dies: linkdeli.com/view/f69fd696-2333-4859-afd6-071345ad92ec

[@taniab2018]

Great cards. Looking forward to getting some of the new Waffle Flower release.

[@BarbS548]

If I have ever sent out a card that's perfect....well I can't remember that I ever have! LOL

[@rdecook651]

We don't make mistakes... We have happy accidents in the the wise words of Bob Ross.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great cards! Mistakes?

[@czdesign]

I just overblended on the lower left and it got smudgey.

[@bonnerdebbie]

@@czdesign I did understand, I was just making the point it didn't show.

[@mpbailey18]

Honestly, I have no idea what all the fuss is about! I couldn't detect anything egregious from here! My bigger problem is the stamp, which doesn't appear to me to be to look like books...I originally thought it looked like a circuit board or whatever. Books have titles, these don't. Oh well, the colors/ink blending are lovely!

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Love your card Cathy! 🩷 Great tip for hiding boo boos. 👍🏼

[@sueplatt8899]

I couldn’t even see the mistake…so it would of passed with me😉

[@shawnae-k4533]

What mistake?!

[@czdesign]

The overblend blob on the lower left! that is not supposed to look like that. lol

[@suzanherrington8316]

❤🎉😊

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

I think you're your own worse critic. The cards were lovely. A good fix though. I might have chunked them in the recycle. But not yours! I wish I had ALL the Harry Potter books. I do love reading. But when you get started you forget that there is laundry, cooking, cleaning etc. I guess that is the great thing about books. You can lose yourself in them.

Yes! I was at a loss for words! hahah
