Design basics for cardmaking-tips to help the process!

[@beyondtherabbithole]

I really liked the design basics please make this a series. I would love to see more layout ideas

[@MsDonnnG]

Me too!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Cathy did do a series awhile back where she talks about the elements of design. She put the videos in a playlist called Design Chats for Crafty People. It was super helpful for me, perhaps you’ll find it useful as well.

[@MsDonnnG]

@@harriettezmalloy7182 oh thanks so much for sharing that playlist! I didn't realize Cathy had created one! I have seen a few of her videos regarding design and always learn so much! Thanks so much! Have a great weekend!

[@gloriametcalf538]

Thank you, Linda, for such an elegant and easy card. I'm so happy to see you as I enjoy your videos.

[@SandyScruton]

Thank you, Cathy! I hope you make design basics a series. I learn a lot from the way you process your design decisions.

[@lucyc]

Hi! Cathy already has a playlist called (I think!) Design chats with Cathy, or something to that effect. Those videos are super helpful!😊

[@gloriawilliams8308]

Thanks for the design education. It's interesting to learn the "why" behind what looks good. Your cards are always beautiful.

[@czdesign]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@annemoore8301]

Cathy, I LOVE when you do design videos!!! I appreciate the “why” behind your good looking cards!!! 💛

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Cathy you should add more to your design chat playlist. So many people asked for more design videos, & the original series you did was so helpful! I still go back & watch some of those videos. This is a lovely card!!

[@czdesign]

Thank you, I will

[@gloriametcalf538]

Stunning card, Cathy. Thank you for the tips.

[@danielleklaiss4336]

Beautiful card, and I love the design tips! I often will make things and then blank on how to put everything together. This helps! I would love to see more "design basics" videos if that is something you'll consider continuing :)

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@oraleeb.2072]

I love the simplicity of this card, Cathy. It’s such a pretty card yet the design itself with these supplies will make it super easy to put together. Thanks, Cathy for your great video!

I love that you used the score board to create dimension. Such a great idea! I saw it once before on another page - probably a Jennifer “the GOAT” McGuire tutorial - but I never think to try. I’m absolutely doing this on my next card ❤

[@mpbailey18]

Placement of the beads just makes this card..you are a master of that! Would love to see some back to basics stamping and not so many die cuts....

[@shirleymcneely1994]

That is one beautiful flower ❤

[@rosegriffin8001]

Beautiful!!!

[@irmarais-gx9su]

Beautiful 😻

[@mishavermillion802]

I have been a huge fan of your work for some time. These cards are exquisite! My frustration is that as a full-time caregiver for my mom with dementia, I don't have the $110 to buy stamps, dies, stencils, and inks to make these. I make cards for the medical professionals come to my home each week to help me care for my mom. Can you do a video for those of us that have supplies but cannot afford to regularly buy some of these beautiful (but expensive!) designer products? My very best regards and blessings to you!

[@czdesign]

I will keep this in mind for sure!

[@priscillabade614]

I love Cathy’s work. Another crafter who has taught me a lot is Natasha Foote. She does amazing work with limited supplies.

[@rhondakennedy819]

Nice!!! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all

Hi Cathy! Where did you purchase the gold beads? Thank you!

Oh sorry! forgot to link: • Gold Beads-Flatback --- ldli.co/e/om5m5ok

[@Joyce-y2w]

Where did you get the magnet wand you use for picking up your dies please.

[@czdesign]

• Magnetic Nail Wands --- amzn.to/49zw7h9 [ AMZUS ]

[@cindylockemer7423]

I also have the Anna Griffin Empress. I didn't think I was to cut into the magnetic plate.

[@czdesign]

Well, I do and apparently so does Anna Griffin. lol. So… that's what i have been doing for over a year now!

[@cindylockemer7423]

Well then if it’s good for CZ then it’s good for me.

[@cherylbuck8396]

Cathy did you cut your hair. Your hair looks awesome. You are great.

[@czdesign]
