Embossing over a simple stamped & colored image! (Who knew it would look good?)

[@janetbatteas4290]

Love that it makes the snowman appear to be inside the snow globe

[@lindamitchell3871]

Well, well, well, who knew you could emboss after coloring. Looks great!

[@maryrock8428]

Cathy, I love to watch your videos. I learn so much from you and you are so funny. I can’t wait for your next video.

[@dandybottom]

Cute card. I hope your enjoying time with family.

[@pamsosnowski6575]

LOVE your snow globe with that adorable snowman!!!

[@angiem6789]

I never would’ve thought of that! Such a great idea and adorable card. Heard every “boop” in my head even if you didn’t say it out loud. LOL

[@suziequebedeaux5109]

First I want to tell you that I am in awe of your skills. I have taught cardmaking classes for over 10 years now but I always learn something new when I watch your videos (I call these tips or takeaways). In this one, I learned about changing the nibs on markers to suit your needs is a simple but effective way to adapt an item you already have so that you don't have to go out to buy "all new". Second, it's like you could read my mind when you said you didn't know which snowman you were going to use. I kept thinking to myself "I hope it is the one with the little heart on his chest". A friend of mine and I, both lost our husbands to heart issues, ten months apart. Our husbands shared the same birthday July 30th (but my husband was older by about 6 years). After she lost Joel (he died of a "widow maker" heart attack on Thanksgiving weekend 7 years ago), she started noticing "heart signs" and ten months later when I lost Andy to aortic dissection, I started seeing them everywhere too. Hearts in the most random places (patch of grass in the shape of a heart, a leaf that was heart shaped, a tree they cut into had a perfect heart in the middle) so they have special meaning for us. It is cool to see you pick that one. Thank you. It felt like another sign.

[@czdesign]

I'm so sorry for both of your losses. A sign indeed.

[@marian2525]

I believe that's a lovely way to see meaning and beauty in the world around us after something tragic. ❤ I too "collect" hearts when I notice them ...started with rocks I noticed on walks or hikes, then in nature...melting snow on my driveway. When I can, I take a pic and save in a file. After 10 yrs I think I may finally put them together. I think it's a hug from the universe.

[@CraftedbyNicoleLeBlanc]

I've never seen someone emboss over an image like this before. It looks awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@czdesign]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jackifoster98]

I love how you don’t get stressed when you make a small mistake! I need to work on that! I will just have to say “I need to be more like Cathy Z”!

[@czdesign]

It's taken me years of therapy. lol. ha!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Brilliant hack for lining up the stamp to be where you need it to emboss. I'll store that one in my crafty brain section library. Truly adorable Cathy. I am very Thankful for you this year. You are a gift that keeps on giving.

[@claireg5651]

This is adorable, that snow is super 3D! I dragged out my old glossy accents to add interest to a simpler card & then proceeded to run it through the die cut machine.. which of course, after all that, flattened it out. LOL! You had far more forethought than I did, not using an A2 die & cutting your panel with your trimmer instead.

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

A simple card and I absolutely love it.

[@maryespeland9627]

Very cute! Ya gotta love snowmen!

[@wordscrafter]

Whoa! My husband, who was walking through, stopped and said that was pretty cool. I agree!

[@czdesign]

Whoa! My own hubby doesn't do that. hahaha!

[@dizzinese]

That snowman is so cute! I still love every one of your cards! The simple clean style is right up my alley! I can’t work on anything but Christmas cards right now I should be able to mail them out Monday. Watch your mail! Thanks for the great video!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

This technique is genius because it looks like that little snowman is in amongst the snow in the globe! A die cut snowman would just not have the same effect. That beautiful silver sequins just adds the perfect finishing touch. Well done, love this so much! 👍💖

[@sonjah1983]

Darling card Cathy!!! That embossing folder is brilliant!

[@gayle1055]

I am impressed Cathy Z !!! Yana Smakula does make some beautiful cards. Thank you for this card Cathy, It is so darn cute and the sequence just completes it. 💜💜☃️☃️☃️

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@ruthApresley]

Thank you for embossing over an image! I would have been afraid to try it, but you were right! It looks just fine! ❤

[@joannfroman4976]

This looks adorable. I continue to learn new techniques from you CZ. I am grateful that you started a YT channel. Thank You!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@joanbardee5135]

love love love. I would have used a black sentiment but the embossed silver is so much better!! perfect card

[@robinmcauley3462]

Too cute! Love that you can emboss on top of stamped image

[@themaddscrapper-mayradalla6354]

O...M...G...!!! MUST...MAKE...THIS...!! I admit I don't have the stamps of the snow globe embossing folder (this will have to change!) But I wonder what I can make with what I have!!! Thank you Kathy for the inspiration. You so rock!

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@lynnerourke4556]

Love this little critter that you used with this great technique of embossing.

[@annlroe]

This card has the wow facture and I have now learnt something too. Thanks for sharing

[@czdesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@KathyLuvsPaper]

Adorable simplicity

[@cl-wc9kd]

That is so adorable Cathy!!! Because of you, I am colouring with alcohol markers & actually enjoying it. I am shading challenged too but like you said, no one will say hey, she should have shaded that more. Thanks for all your videos & the entertainment they provide.

[@barbw8972]

Such a cute card! I love how the embossing makes the snowman come to life in the snow globe!

[@czdesign]

Right?

[@gloriaalvarado2553]

Glad to watch you working the book today. lol Such an adorable card.

[@nancyprobst6311]

[@kathygroff4526]

Cute as it can be! Love this ultra-snowy card! TFS, Cathy. ❄️☃️❄️ 💌

[@michelledelacroix6120]

That’s a beautiful card. Would never have thought to emboss over an imagine.

[@suee5617]

Beautiful card! I love the embossing folder and all the sequins! It really makes the snowman stand out.

[@rosinyberg8747]

STUNNNNNING…. Great idea

[@elizabethhaynes2152]

I am so excited about this video. I bought this embossing folder lat year and never used it. I am going to make some of these cards this year. I didn't think about adding the sequins. They look so cute. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos . They are very helpful.

[@czdesign]

Oh so fun! I love this card so much. You will have fun!

[@bonniebotts1359]

What a gorgeous card….

[@lauriedrinkard6063]

Love this card! I have never seen that embossing technique with the stamp. Very cool!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@thecraftyhairdressercardsa205]

What a great idea. I’ve done that with just a sentiment before but hadn’t thought of an actual image. Cute cute card ❤️⛄️

[@Kazzandshazz]

Ohhh I totally love this card Cathy, so sweet.

[@JenE1098]

Love it! As little coloring is up my alley! Thanks for some great ideas!

So cute! What a great idea... and I just love embossing folders! Definitely gonna up my embossing folder game! Thank you! 💜

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@LancashireLass]

I was thinking about embossing a stamped piece the other day and I assumed it would be a disaaaaaster so chickened out. Luckily we have our fearless leader to set a better example. I did all the missing Boops, by the way. You're welcome.

[@janetsaunders318]

Love your card! Never would have thought to emboss after stamping and coloring 💕💕💕

[@monicabeeman5565]

Absolutely love this card. Thank you.

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Fantastic card. Great way to use embossing folder. Thank you.

[@czdesign]

Glad you like it!

[@lisadavis4807]

Love this card Cathy! The red and silver is so elegant looking.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@shonacooksey4189]

Omg! Am I the only one who didn't realise you could create a bend on a stamp??? (Yes, I've only been doing this since February and just got my first stamp platform) But this was news to me....brilliant! Thanks for another great video Cathy. Love your style and love your chat, not to mention the pretty cards you create and share with us.

[@czdesign]

Don't feel bad, it RARELY occurs to me! hahah

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Hey it's a booparama!!! Such a great idea and turned out perfectly. I hope you had an enjoyable thanksgiving with your family.

[@sallyyotz3995]

Wow Cathy, what an adorable card. Thanks so much. 😊

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@karenmunson4401]

Beautiful cards. Thank you for sharing

[@michelleadamchak1330]

Wow, today I learned!! Thank you so much for this game changing tip Cathy. Embossing over a colored image speeds things up and lessens die cutting. Brilliant!!

[@czdesign]

And you don't have to color perfectly because I feel like it masks any imperfections.

[@danahkempf7614]

That card is so cute! I have never thought of embossing over a stamped image! Brilliant!

[@Ladycrafty6]

Love the card! Thanks for the new technique! 💕

[@cheri6905]

Absolutely adorable card, Cathy! Love, love, love the snowman inside the snowglobe!!

[@DrJBronk]

Funny, I just stumbled across this technique when I was making a tag and it was missing something and I put it into an embossing folder. Amazingly it worked and the image was intact. I love the folder you used. I can see many ways it could be used.

[@Janstroh1]

I love your color choices!
