Ooooh! Love that new Spectrum Noir glitter pen, want to see more.

[@susanpratt4061]

Oh I would have used all the layers together on that first cards. The intended purpose of those pages.That sign post would have looked so sweet forward of the snowmen.🙂 Thanx for the introduction to this kit.

[@czdesign]

Yeah, it totally would have!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

What a wonderful kit! And the cards you made are just adorable. On that second one, the little red one, you could stamp Christmas on the inside. So it’s, “Have your Elf a merry little…. Christmas.” But again, the cards are just so sweet. Thank you for sharing with us. I love your videos Cathy. You are just so fun to watch!! 🙂

[@czdesign]

I know… I will do that! good idea!

You are an entertainer. Love the singing in the beginning. Love the cards. 💜

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Cathy you need to include the singing!! You rock! The cards are so cute and festive. That snowman card is spot on. Those punch out card pieces are what drew me into the set. So many wonderful things. I have never experienced crackle paste. You definitely need to do a video because....well..... I just had to order one. I love love the whole kit. As we say in baseball "They hit this one out of the park " ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much

Thanks so much! It was two years ago when I started doing it and I have definitely gotten better over time!

RIGHT? how fun would that be, Caly???

What a really cute card. Love It‼️ ❤️❤️

[@lisabrijeski3425]

Absolutely love your singing! So many talents of a middle aged crafter!

[@barbaramckenney5946]

That kit is so stinkin cute! I use the 3 M thin foam squares.....you still get dimensions but not too too high for mailing. The others are too think when more than 2 layers high. Good idea stretching the decoupage sets.....

[@czdesign]

Thanks for the tips!

[@nancysloan6298]

Hi Cathy... although I can't carry a tune in a bucket, I sing Christmas songs out loud starting in October. Well maybe even September...you are a blast!🤗

[@czdesign]

Thank you!

Your singing style is pretty cool. Better than me. Cute set that is for sue.

[@lauragray4052]

I love the smallest card it’s so adorable, you could just use it right on a gift as a tag. 😊

[@denelbrister538]

Love love!🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@sandrashaw8343]

Hi Cathy, I was watching one if your videos when you spoke about die hairs and how you use purple tape. That got me thinking and here in the UK we have sticky lint rollers which you can use to take hairs and things off of your clothes etc. So I bought one to try to see if it worked on my die hairs. I thought it might of been too sticky and was going to roll it on my jumper if it was. However it was fine and it worked really well. I just thought I would pass that tip onto you. Thank you so much for all your fantastic videos and beautiful cards. Sandra xx

[@melissazabower339]

Sweet & simple! If you wanted to bump up the snowman card, I see it as a snow globe. Instead of fussy cutting you could use a circle die. Turn it into a shaker perhaps. 😀

[@czdesign]

OH what a great idea!

[@cindybearj]

I love the decoupage elves! It's so cool that they included the little foam squares! I just love all the layers. I like your cards without the layers though.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mariapmarquez5064]

Wow! So cute 😍

[@ginamcdonald7854]

This is the cutest set yet, and the simple little cards are so adorable!!! Now I want this set!

[@Cards4Cancer]

I have not laughed that hard in months literally. I just love you Cathy. It totally competes with the running, and spinning bee holding wine. So so perfect

[@joannequagliara6073]

Super cute. Thanks for the inspiration ❤️ Have a great day Cathy

Absolutely adorable 🥰 Christmas cards Cathy. I love ❤️ this kit. If I had a million dollars I would buy all the adorable Christmas stamp and die sets from all the Stamp and die companies because everyone has come out with some adorable 🥰 stuff this year.

Thank you so much!

[@mmoorecaterer2cats458]

Thank you for the song, Cathy! The lyrics will need a little work 😉 for a repetition. I thought decoupage was something with some napkin tissue... nearly ready made cards, too cute illustrations! The texts have a really nice fond. ❤️🌻🌻🌻 thank you for sharing!

[@czdesign]

Yeah, it's not decoupage, it's called… oh crap, I've already forgotten, but it's a European style

Craft Consortium has superlative papers in numerous sizes, many themes, tones, etc. I love the various nature themes but these are really great!!!

I love all their critter papers and accouterments

[@loribeck7496]

Super cute!

[@ginnycook9224]

a concert and cards....bravo!!! I love all the abstract goodies included in these reasonably priced kits. I usually get Gina K kits...but I did order one kit from Simon Says after watching your video using it.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@cathylaycock5598]

Frosty’s voice was done by Burl Ives. I grew up in the 50s and can remember the annual cartoons. Still love them to this day! Your colouring is just fine. Very cute cards! 😊. Cute little girl elf.

[@czdesign]

Really? I never knew that. I just didn't like how he sounded. hahaha

[@cheribrowning9212]

These cards are so stinkin cute! The form for the Decoupage is European and super fun to do as well, I may have to get this month's kit to build them up!! tfs

[@czdesign]

Ahhhh. Okay! It's totally new to me!

[@HollyOak]

The card kits aren't decoupage. That's where you stick an image down then you coat it with several layers of sealant until it's all smooth and level. The kits are paper toile, where you cut aspects of the original image and layer them on top, layer on layer to create a 3D 'trick of the eye' image. BTW, love your singing.

[@czdesign]

Oh, thanks for the distinction!

[@HollyOak]

@@czdesign You can thank my mother who had a 5 minute obsession with paper toile back in the '90's - until she saw how much work it involves. lol

[@czdesign]

@@HollyOak I love it! And now you have inspired me to maybe do a live this week and create a paper toile card!

[@yomamma7982]

Darling cards! Thank you 🙏

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

I can't wait to get this box...I'm making cards and tags for my grandkids .

[@andreasanders6737]

I bought this kit & wish I'd realised about the dies for the stamps. the cost of postage to Australia for now prevents me purchasing it at the moment. great inspiration whrn it arrives 👏

[@czdesign]

Sorry about that!

[@czdesign]

So glad!

[@msdixie1972]

Cathy this is exactly why I decided I had to have this kit... I got so excited when I saw it had been listed in the wee hours of my insomnia this AM. So easy and simple! I am going to let these adorable elements do the work for me this time! 😎 Merry ThanksMas and all that! 🦃 🎄 🤩 🎤 🎶 Also! Love your polish! 💕

Cute cards!

[@carolluke4898]

What a great kit for making quick cards ……especially for those of us who realize we missed someone on our Christmas card list! Looks like I’ll have to hit that “buy” button at Simon 😉. As always, a wonderful video - you are the BEST!

[@czdesign]

SO simple right? I know those sets with the elves are designed to be stacked and what not, but I thought it was fun to just make single image cards!

[@tracyinmo6885]

I love everything that Craft Consortium makes

[@czdesign]

Coming soon!

[@norinemueller4588]

super cute

[@Princess_karen]

Store your sparkle pen with the brush facing up. Otherwise it will leak if you lay it on its side or pointing down. Love the elves on that paper. The numbered die cuts are decoupage, you stack them on top of each other with the foam squares, by numbers to make a 3D item

[@czdesign]

Yes! i realized that after the fact. Lol!

[@lindylund280]

The point of decoupage is to stack the layers up for a 3D effect. Popular in Europe for decades.

[@czdesign]

Ahhhh. Did not know that!

[@shellyjacob6037]

As always, I loved your video. Your cards are so cute! I’m looking forward to receiving my kit so I can play.

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@barbarahill6365]

I can’t believe you didn’t sing “Do you want to build a snowman?”!

[@thequiltedkitchen]

So cute!

[@kcinca5410]

Love the black backgrounds on those papers and 3-D decoupage - I did that in the 70's (whoops, dating myself)! Looks like the coordinating dies are already sold out??? These cards turned out very cute. I'm SO tempted but I'm trying to rein myself in a bit as I went a little crazy when Tim kept releasing product week after week. Well, onto more Christmas making. I've skipped all the other holidays this last half of the year. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nancyenjay7966]

[@lynnerourke4556]

So cute. Cathy you are the bomb.

[@FeduGina]

Craft Consortium is a known UK company, that's the reason they do such stuff as 3D decoupage kits 😄 It supposed to be layered (reason for numbering) + if you'd have the bigger papers, you could do backgrounds, they are matching size. And it's good for display cards. Just saying 😌 And CC have cutest embellishments ever. And for my EU fellows CC kits can be purchased easier than SSS kits here over. And the cards are really cute 😍 And good night!

[@czdesign]

Yes, now it makes sense!

[@olivia8979]

First, I love your humor. That said, you do have a really good voice even when you are singing for humor. I don't do much in the way of whimsical cards so I won't get the whole kit. But there were definitely some stamps and papers in there that I would like to use. Also, I feel like I can't use decoupage and cut-aparts. Everyone I know is aware that I am obsessed with card making so they expect a one-of-a-kind original from me. Or, do I just prefer to believe that? 😂

[@WendieMorgan]

I’m with you, though they can be good in a pinch for the mail carrier, coffee shop person who saves me on the daily, etc.

[@olivia8979]

@@WendieMorgan Hmmm, that is very true. I might want to give some cards to some people that I am not really that close to as thank you/christmas cards. I wouldn't need to make it a one of a kind work of "art."
