A rainbow wreath ✅ a stencil of pretty florals ✅ a few shiny sequins ✅ a lovely card ✅. TFS, Cathy Z.! 💌

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@DrJBronk]

Well, it's good to know we don't all fussy cut like Simon H.! New tips on using the bone folder are really terrific.

[@kennyfry3421]

😍👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It's really kind of cool how the stacked die cut creates its own shadow so it stands out on the card... 👍🏻 Love your design aesthetic... ❣️

[@pattieduffy4992]

The Make Art Station is GREAT! The magnets and rulers are sooo easy to work with also. Used it for last 2 years. Still perfect condition. Love this card and technique. You ALWAYS make me laugh a bit too! Thank you.

[@denalanham107]

Loved the big scissor fussy cut - yep there it is - hahaha

[@dianeoneil9563]

2017, that is so cute. I've been doing my own cards since 1981 or 1982.. You have soo much more inventiveness and artistry!!

[@janiew4109]

I love how you talk to yourself and encourage yourself while crafting. I do that too!

[@christinecox9625]

"This is not my version of fussy cutting (a few scissor cuts) can you imagine ---alright we're done!" 🤣💕 Blessed crafting! 😊

[@deborahcurtis98]

So pretty. I love how you show us in real time the fussy cutting--it does take time, even for the profs.

[@kelleyfreeman401]

"Fix the jankiness"! I love it. I get those janky bits all the time when I'm fussy cutting. The tip with the teflon bone folder is genius! I've never thought to fussy cut a stencil. Great card!

[@valeriethorpe3399]

I am so glad I am not the only one who takes time fussy cutting... the teflon bone folder tip is great... such a cool card

[@nancyenjay7966]

Love it! And I love that you left the greeting in white, I tend to overdo and this looks just great...gonna try it for sure. Thanks!

[@joeyrazzano]

I cracked up when you said Look at that you can't even tell I mucked it up. Words to live by. 😅

[@czdesign]

😁

[@mariehansen472]

“Gods of the Boop!” Lol, I love it! And the bone folder tip gets an A+.

[@cherylcullen9087]

Hey Cathy! Your card is so beautiful! And who knew you could smooth out the fussy cutting with the bone folder!! Thanks for the excellent tip! Love any card made with rainbow colors! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@sprosews]

I love your videos because I always learn something, you're so much fun and I'm seriously impressed that you were able to fussy cut and talk at the same time!

[@czdesign]

Ha! I was surprised too!

[@ammof6440]

The Teflon bone folder smoothing out the cut edges is awesome!

[@czdesign]

It really is!

[@corinarazo1404]

Fussy cutting is a skill that gets better the more you do it. What I never thought to do was to use my Teflon bone folder to flatten out the "jenky". Thanks for the lesson and inspiration on this here card sesh 👉

[@lauraolsson7695]

I am convinced that when you boop the embellishments on, that for sure they are in the perfect spot. Done deal! 😽👏😀

[@czdesign]

Right?!

[@ClearlyCards]

Cathy.....I la la love your video’s. I need you as my crafty next door neighbor!!!❤️

[@missyleftrick5525]

I love how you added the “cluck” to the “boop” 😂 Such a great idea with the stencil!!!

[@czdesign]

The Cluck was a thing back in my corporate graphic design days. I worked with these SUPER talented guys at the Science Museum of Minnesota (such a fun job!) and we were the in house design department. They always clucked when presented concepts. It stuck.

[@missyleftrick5525]

@@czdesign I am loving the cluck! Lol I really enjoy your videos and your stories too!! Keep doing amazing things! 💕

[@handmadebylubomira]

You're channeling your inner Laura Bassen! Love it as usual.

[@czdesign]

She's my queen of color!

[@handmadebylubomira]

@@czdesign Yours and everyone else's lol. She's got the rainbow down pat.

[@lisabloedel539]

So pretty! I love your tip of smoothing it from the back with the bone folder! I need to try that! Sometimes I have to smooth edges & corners with a small file, but it doesn't always do the trick. And I'm so glad you used purple - it's my fave! Thank you!

[@k30gentle]

That is a happy, happy, happy card!

[@pamcadd8658]

I agree with you about the magic of stencils -- this card is so pretty, Cathy! The only part that looked hard was cutting around the wreath. As a leftie, right-handed cutting looks so awkward. LOL

[@melissazabower339]

Turning the fussy cutting over and smoothing it with the bone folder-- I never would have thought of it! Great tip.

[@michelegourd5742]

Cathy, that is an awesome tip about the bone folder!!! Also about cut around your stencil!! Very creative!!!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@terryholland2526]

This is a beautiful card. I'm not a fan of fussy cutting but I have done it in the past. I love the idea with the bone folder. Brilliant idea!! Thank you for the tip.

[@elsiecarty5081]

Using the bone folder; what a great idea! Also never thought of fuzzy cutting a stencil image.

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cindybearj]

So pretty! I love the colors. Never underestimate the power of the boop! Thanks for the bone folder trick.

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@kayfurnish8715]

I love that Teflon bone folder trick! One of my complaints about fussy cutting was the "wrinkled" look from the tighter places. Your trick solves that problem. Love the finished card! I'm a stencil addict too because I love the price point. Thanks for sharing!

[@carolehenderson2997]

I love your videos! Not only do I learn something, but always leave with a smile! You remind me of me! Lol

[@Momof31996]

Love that you added the purple!! Fussy cutting is not my thing, I always have pointy edges. I'll try turning the paper more next time and see if that helps. Beautiful card

[@soledadcasimiro2355]

I have a mini self healing mat with magnet, good idea to use for stencils 😊

Beautiful! Your rainbow colours are gorgeous! I’m glad you remembered the purple! LOL!

[@czdesign]

Me too!!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Love it! I was actually contemplating skipping ahead on the fussy cutting, but feared you might say something funny & I’d miss it! 😂 Then YOU skipped ahead! I love the trick to straighten out bent edges. Great idea! Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️

[@Aliciacapturedmoments]

It was definitely the “boop”!! 😂 pretty card!

[@juliehulver461]

You make fussy cutting look so easy! Thanks for the bone folder tip too.

[@czdesign]

Trust me, it's not my strongest skill. Just go slow and turn the paper as you go!

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

❤️ your fussy cutting!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@joannecollis1543]

Beautiful card Cathy. I am left handed and have so much trouble fussy cutting anything. So for me might be a front piece on a 6 x 6 card. Love your tutorials.

[@mck9496]

Totally brilliant trick with the bone folder. You are awesome to share all your secrets!

[@czdesign]

Glad you liked it!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Cathy, what a great card. Mi love how the colours pop. Thanks so much. 😊

[@czdesign]

I'm glad you like it

[@christinelowery2415]

You are too funny. I found myself “boop”ing with you. Great card😆

[@czdesign]

😁

[@nikkibloomer5266]

Nikki here from Buckinghamshire in the UK. Love your ideas and the way you use colour! Definitely the Year of the Stencil! Maybe we should declare a Crafters’ ‘Year of’ annually?

[@czdesign]

Fun idea!

[@kathymcconnell6852]

I’ve just learned new uses for my wonderful teflon bone folder. Thanks for the tips! And the cheery little boops 😍 I love this card, by the way. Beautiful design!

[@sue5560]

I was chuckling at first because there was no purple! But so happy to see you brought it in!!! That is an excellent tip to cut out the stenciled image as it's usually in the background of art journal pages!! Thanks for sharing Cathy!

[@czdesign]

I'm stretching myself with that purple! But it really did make the circle complete!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Your purple is a beautiful shade. Thank you! Lol

[@ProfCardmaker]

The teflon bone folder trick is genius Cathy! I would have never thought of that.

[@cl-wc9kd]

I love the card! Another great tip with the bone folder. I always loved sequins but never knew how to add them to a card until I watched your video on embellishment placing. Now all my cards get tarted up thanks to you!

[@czdesign]

Tarted up for the win!

[@calvinewr]

Love the boop!! Thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and learn so much. Thanks!!

[@czdesign]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@elm2zack]

I love your channel. I always learn something new each time. I loved that you used the purple this time.

[@barbw8972]

I love how the purple blended back into the red so nicely.

[@barbw8972]

That is such a cute card! Clean and simple at its best ❤️

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@terismith4333]

I once had a card making instructor tell me it was due to being left-handed that makes me fussy cutting challenged. I can't keep my space even around what I'm cutting & I get sharp corners everywhere, not to mention I can't hold my scissors straight up & down for love nor money. lol Oh well... I think your card is so very pretty Cathy. Your fan from Vancouver Island.

[@carolestrawn8755]

I love this stencil but haven't used mine yet. The Teflon bone folder trick is something I'd never seen before. Thank you so much for sharing because that gets rid of those ragged little edges created by your scissors when fussy cutting. I love the idea of making a rainbow stencil coloring vs trying to make each flower individually colored. Much easier and so pretty.

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

So, to be clear, I am not crazy...I do know you don't know me...but when I watch your videos, I feel like I'm crafting with a friend!

[@aoifetotterdell4059]

I totally agree with you Teresa.

[@czdesign]

Love that!

[@lorispitzer8289]

Thank you for showing some SSS ink colors. I am contemplating purchasing some of those. I had to chuckle when you pulled out the huge scissors to "fussy cut." Shew... you got back to the Cutter Bee ones. Stand down, all! Glad you remembered the purple. I was shaking my head when you were first introducing the colors and you stopped at blue (blue. Audrey Blue - I picture saying that in the "Bond. James Bond" manner). But you got the purple in the end... you squeaked it in. You always give double the love to the warm colors and the cool colors end up being squeezed... but at least purple was included. You know that I think you are brilliant and today's card is fabulous! Thanks for showing that stencil... I have been on the fence about it. Love the "boop"ing, as always. Looking forward to your next post and wishing you a tremendous day! Lori S in PA

[@czdesign]

I definitely give more love to the warms! But yes, I have a bunch of SSS inks and am using them more!

[@tracydibsdale4004]

Brilliant!! Given Me some new ideas!! Thanks

Absolutely beautiful. Great tip on using the Teflon on the back to flatten out the paper once you fussy cut! ♥ Also, I feel like I'm hanging out with a friend everytime I watch one of your videos. And.... I "boop" all of my embellishments now. They just don't go on right without the "boop" 🤷‍♀️

I can't talk and fussy cut because my tongue is usually sticking out of my mouth while I'm concentrating hard. LOL Yay for purple today! :o)

[@barbw8972]

Same, with the not being able to talk when I’m trying to concentrate :)

[@yomamma7982]

I do the same thing, stick my tongue out when I concentrate.🤣
