Let's unbox the latest Simon Says Stamp card kit and make FIVE cards!

[@celestecassino2223]

Just when I think I am going to pass on a kit, I watch your video. Then, I say to myself, “I should get that kit!” Well done!

[@vickiwest4149]

Fun unboxing! I like the simple cards to mix things up sometimes. Yet they don't LOOK simple. Have you ever noticed that we (almost) always flip over cardstock to add adhesive to? It's the same on both sides. LOLOL And you're right ~ we're the creators of our cards, we are free to design in whatever way speaks to us.

[@krislayne1520]

I could not see that last card coming together at all...hot mess!.....and then....aaaaaa (angels singing) it turned out amazing!!! Way to work it out!!♡♡♡

[@cathylombard964]

It looks Scandinavian inspired (the stamp set). I love the idea of storing the kits in the zipper bag in a rainbow tote and I like all the cards. Thanks for providing ideas on how to use the patterned paper. I struggle with that.

[@heatherturnerart3435]

I’d say it’s closer to Polish folk art. It’s very beautiful

[@lojoinpoho]

My two favorites are the first two. There’s no way in hell I’m going to try to replicate that last one. Ha ha that was too much like work. All very beautiful, Cathy.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Gosh,so many new toys since I’m back watching my creators. And,Rebecca’s new look!

[@sprinklewithcards]

Great cards Cathy! thanks for sharing!

[@JD-zt3nr]

Cathy, regarding your comment about the top-fold card. The question that was asked was NOT why do designers make more cards in portrait orientation more than landscape, it was why do designers make top-fold cards more than side fold cards? Side fold cards are also portrait orientation. To your comment about being a graphic designer for magazines, well, that's another example of why one would make side fold cards. Magazines, books, purchased greeting cards, pamphlets...easily the most commonly produced commercial item in this realm, is in a side-fold, or side-bound format. It just makes sense. Love ya!

[@czdesign]

Hmm. I thought it was a different question.

[@JD-zt3nr]

@@czdesign LOL!! Well, that's the question I asked you, LOL!! Maybe someone else asked a similar but not the same question??? Sorry for any confusion. :)

[@patti-sally9201]

For so long , I love your unboxing videos...so much, that's the reason why I buy at SSS 😊from Germany and I learned so much from you . Thank you dear Cathy🌹

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Fantastic cards Cathy. Those patterned papers are so beautiful. And such a fun stamp set this month! I really like how your last card turned out. I wasn’t sure when you were adding the lines down the sides, but it turned out really great. Thank you for the amazing inspiration! And I had to laugh at your “Just flip it. Flip it good.” 😉

[@michellehackett8502]

I really love the last card, because you thought outside the box. I love your humor. This should be fun. (Oh, and you did a really great job with the white gel pen).❤

[@sheilastyrebriere]

Loved the Happy Birthday and Just Because cards ❤

[@yellagnome3947]

Well the last card FINALLY turned out the best. Glad i''m not the only one to have yo turn a card OVER.🥰

[@dianahults3059]

The flower paper reminds me of vintage wallpaper. It's nice to know not everything works the first time for other people too. Nice selection of created cards. 👍

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

Love them all Cathy, but I adore the scandi-chic birds in the heart, so lovely xoxo

[@janlabbate3277]

All are beautiful but I’m liking the same ones as you like. Thanks for the video.

[@kikia2z]

I liked the Sending You A Happy Hello and the Just Because. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

They are all very beautiful Cards Cathy. love them all.

[@saidadeleon7113]

Thank you Kathy!!

[@tinasawyer9471]

Thank you for the great cards.. I'm trying to mimic you to some extent. I love that you share the boo-boos too :)

[@melissazabower339]

I love the pink-smoke-seafoam color combination of that paper. That stamp set is so cute! Very "Pennsylvania Dutch". The last card is my favorite!

[@nancymsimmons573]

Hello Cathy and Happy Valentine’s Day ❣️

[@kellidoubek6928]

Out of all the cards, that last one is my fave! What a rollercoaster of emotion! In the end with the scatter of bling, it just stands out. I also like the unexpected diagonal and color blend. Brava! ❤

[@ruthwerbecki7823]

Really enjoyed this video Cathy. The last card turned out to be my favorite as well. The squiggly stamp made the card. Thank You.

[@MichelleColeCreates]

Oh man, that second card is goooooooooooooooorgeous!!!

[@JenAultman]

Great cards!! Ty Cathy 😊

[@pearljames1886]

Always a happy surprise with the card kits, creating on the fly! Adding those white gel pen details to the stamped images really does add that bit of je ne sais quoi and yours turned out perfect but, I just can't seem to get it right no matter how many times I watch Nichol Spohr add those in all the right places. Overthinking, perhaps? The good thing is, they can be erased rather easily if you don't wait too long.

[@suemichaels8867]

Like the simplicity of all of them, but card #1 is my fave by far.

[@gwentunis201]

I agree the last card is my favorite. I didn't think the stamp set was all that BUT you made that set sparkle.

[@lauramurphy438]

Hello Cathy, My favorite card was number 5. Thank you and sharing and Inspiring.

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Love these cards. You did a great job with this kit. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@aradawnk]

love the gray in all these cards!!

[@sayerc455]

Love them all.

[@cindydrevs3489]

I love all of the cards! They are all so different.

[@ruthApresley]

Love to see the design process! ❤❤❤

[@jackieblodgett2799]

You forgot to use your hot hands for the embossing!!! I totally love those. TFS!!

[@heidirichardson4988]

Very cute cards!❤

[@kayenash5481]

That's lovely.

[@lizmcinnis5217]

Beautiful!! ❤

[@angb1923]

Super cute cards! Thanks for video! ❤️

[@janetmuir6011]

Love this video

[@JenAultman]

Love!!! Don’t stress on studio tour, being crafty is more important lol

[@longlivedemocracy756]

What a great kit! I guess I’m on my way to order it. All the cards turned out very nice. Definitely could see using up this kit to make a few sets of simple cards for gift giving. The last card was my least favorite, and magically you turned it into my most favorite! You, Ms Cathy, have a way with design. I think you definitely know what you are doing! 😂 Thank you for showing the flubs as well. It definitely keeps it real. Until your next video…👀

[@aundriab.9538]

Love the folk art style of the stamp set in this kit, and the colors you chose to stamp with. My favorite is the cut apart with the wide gray mat. So simple, yet so elegant. Loved seeing all of your cards and makes me want to get out my inks and play too! Thank you for sharing these cards!

[@minikraut]

Had to start a new comment towards the end: This was one of the most enjoyable KZbin hours I've had! Great use of the products in the kit and some extras. I was crafting a different project and had a hick-up just when you did ... That made me laugh and just carry on.

[@susanott1264]

Love these so much. The video was so fun to watch. Glad to know the pros make a few mistakes too. So glad I bought the kit.

[@minikraut]

Don't you just love the hot hands? I bought a pair in a posh housewares/kitchen stuff store in San Francisco years ago - sugar tongs, they were. They have long moved house and now live with my heat-embossing stuff.😍 Oh and I agree with Cathy, very "hygge" - I can see the stamps (especially the birds) in Christmas colors! My observation on top folding cards is that most mass-produced cards aren't and that why this format feels special. The same goes for landscape cards folded on the side.

[@prettyrichgirl2007]

All of the cards are very pretty. Thank you for the share.

[@roxanneklinger3828]

The stamps might be Scandinavian inspired as Cathy Lombard says, but it is a stable where I live in PA. Lancaster county is the home of a very large Amish community and not far from where I live, and there are Hex signs everywhere with these same images and is the Amish art exactly. It is very colorful and full of their history.

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

I ❤ your card ideas!! ALL 3 are fabulous!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@DianaDayDreams]

I love “over adheser”

[@Conniekool]

I just got the kit. I can not wait.

[@conniesobczak2177]

Very pretty cards beautiful, ty

[@barbw8972]

All five cards are fabulous but the just stamping one is my fave... the white pen details are GREAT, Cathy... thanks for sharing your creative process with us! Messes and all!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@shirleysickinger200]

I love the same two cards you did.

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Absolutely gorgeous cards Cathy 💖

[@cheribrowning9212]

Not Just trying to flatter you Cathy 😉but MY favorite cards are the two you picked!!! 😂

[@susanbollinger2844]

i am a tole painter and this brought back lots of memories. the cards are very pretty.

[@suzanestrada293]

Love all but I think I like the first one and the wishes one best.

[@czdesign]

Yay! Thank you!

[@carolcipra5504]

All the cards were great! I couldn’t pick a favorite. Happy Valentine’s Day!

[@lorimoshier4431]

Love the last one. Cool with the zigzag strip

[@racheljakubiak1235]

Love them all!

[@jeananorthern5070]

I really love the last one!! Good job!!❤

[@carolinebudz8462]

Thank you for showing us how to use the kit without the dies. I now am going to order the kit. My favorite is the one with the birds.

[@rachelhawn5315]

I really enjoyed watching you make all these beautiful cards and learned some new things! Lovely work!!

[@cherieselauer7829]

I think I love the last one best as well!

[@ginniesedlak20]

I love the large heart card the best!

[@LisaVornhagen]

I love all of your cards! My two favorites are Happy Wishes and Just Because. I love that gelly roll pen! The effect it gives is really cool.

[@natasam.3308]

Super pretty cards, Cathy! Love them!❤

[@christineh3866]

Had to finish with replay. Loved all 5 cards!! I thought Kristina W. when I saw this stamp set. It reminded me of a envelope I saw of hers. 😍😍😍

[@nurseratchet8566]

So many card inspirations on one video!!! I really need to go through my plethora of paper pads and use sentiment dies to create ard!

[@lucindaschubert9109]

This kit immediately brought me back to the years I spent teaching tole painting. Loved your cards as always. It is nice to be reminded you don't need all the bells and whistles on every card.

[@fosmert877]

I love the way the spirit moved you today making the beautiful cards from the new kit!

[@kathyd8846]

So excited!

[@MegaFairygirl123]

love the emboss resist heart! I loooove to do the emboss resist technique! it's my fave stamping technique!

[@margolaverdure1006]

Loved the whole journey,they are all really nice 👍

[@shereehoshing9827]

Thank you for the heads up. See you

[@pamelazimin4326]

I really loved your video. I wasn’t going to get this kit, but you convinced me ❤

[@czdesign]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@laurabush9812]

Nice work on the gel pen! It looks great, but I never think of it.

[@kathyh7335]

I love all of the cards. My favorites are card 4 and 5.

[@justkidden2]

😍🤩😍All the cards are great but the last is my favorite!! I wonder if stamping the diagonal lines first would make it be a little easier? I love this kit and your videos!

[@catherinecox-shaffer4612]

I just have to laugh because I know exactly the word you're going to say when you get, "schmutz," on your card. LOL at 39:43

[@charlenekroells5326]

Very pretty cards Cathy. I wish I had your imagination.

[@teresaluders1805]

Dutch vibe!

[@lauriej3090]

I'm new to cardmaking and I learn so much from your videos! All your cards are very pretty. My fav might be the " Just Because" stamped flowers... or maybe the embossed ink resist heart. I'm going to give that a whirl when my kit arrives! Thanks so much for the inspiration ❤

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@heidirichardson4988]

Hi from ogden Utah! I love the zip bags, I just got my February kit last week, love it!

[@floracita]

Can’t wait!!! ❤

[@Indiartworks]

So, this stamp set isn't my jam....I don't love the image's, but the sentiments included are great, so, as always I will purchase the kit! Thanks Cathy for the inspiration!

[@SlyTurtle00]

Thank you for showing the real creative process for and turning out some wonderful cards. You are my favorite card channel. I have to admit this is one of my least favorite monthly kits. The paper, stamps and ink colors are individually wonderful but didn’t seem as cohesive as previous kits. I’m really curious how the designer paper and stamp set would look together on a card.

[@stamperssecret5379]

I’ll bet that y’all really missed me. It feels like forever. I’ve missed your sense of humor. Hehe!

[@ginamcdonald7854]

Love Happy Wishes on that beautiful floral pattern paper, and the last card the best! They’re all beautiful and this card kit is great! I can’t purchase anything else this month though! Went a bit overboard last week with purchases!!!🤦‍♀️

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Maybe you can add the stamp set & paper to your wish list. I may be doing that this month too. I also spent money last week. Some products are just hard to resist. 😉

[@theafterhoursshowwithmax]

I feel as though we need to start a support group for over adhesiving. Hello, I'm Max and I'm an over adhesiver.

[@czdesign]

I could be the treasurer! hahah

[@heatherjacobs378]

Could you give us the info on your pressing tool? I didn’t see it on your supply list and I would really like one! Thank you for beautiful inspiration… you made me buy it😊

[@czdesign]

Yes, it's from here: thestampinbug.com/

[@melaniearrowood2221]

The gemini cam is great, but I miss the Franklin cam LOL

[@czdesign]

Me, too! He is growing so fast!

[@elishebagutierrez1313]

Esto si es arte lo haces con el ❤

[@czdesign]

Gracias!

[@nancyloomis3046]

I love to add white highlights. BUT, when I try to use my white Gelli Roll, it’s often dry and I have to to a lot of trouble to get it started again (writing on my hand usually works, but not always.) I’ve found the Zig white fine line brush is usually more “ready to go.” The struggle is real!

[@czdesign]

Great tip!

[@baboo7192]

I love the Happy Wishes and Just Because but really they are all pretty.🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@chrisjones9324]

Can you please share the info on removable take and basket?

[@czdesign]

Yes! • Woven Rainbow Basket --- amzn.to/3xi45Wf [ AMZUS ]

[@mawmawvee]

What die set is that you used for the hearts? I don't have any heart sets that look like them and I like the shape, the rounded hearts. Thanks. LOVE the cards!!!🥰🥳❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@czdesign]

• Nested Round Heart Dies* --- ldli.co/e/xl6qndo [ SSS ] I had them on my blog, because there wasn't room in the description! Love this set!

[@marjbiehler7628]

I'm surprised by my favorite, it's the first one.

[@dianalama1591]

Jennifer McGuire clips the dies directly into a damp paper towel to catch those small fragments of metal… which we don’t need on the floor😳 or under our nails!!!
