I have a tip I learned to apply adhesive backed paper (I learned it for vinyl) by only revealing a slim strip across the page, apply that down evenly. Then slowly peel away the backer paper while using some sort of squeegee tool to adhere it to your cardstock (or whatever you're applying it to). That way you can work out bubbles or wrinkles as you go, and it lays down more evenly than if you try while you have the whole sticky back exposed. I've found this very helpful. I hope it helps someone else out too. LOL 🙂

[@tammymchenry3675]

I’ve watched around 40 of your videos and I just got the phrase “jewels not tools”. This is a cute set. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@czdesign]

Ha! yes, I have been saying it as a reminder: girl, don't use your nails for things. hahaha

[@sprgstn1016]

Cathy…I love every single one of these cards! You knocked it out of the park with this kit! Thank you! :) ~Kim

[@Thecathairsfree]

I absolutely love your responses to the Tri blend brush marker. I have the Tri blend brush set and I reach for them all the time. They make my coloring look like I’m a pro. I’m in love with them. I was hoping one day you would find them. That kit is awesome! You always make beautiful cards. ❤

[@val929]

Absolutely beautiful cards!! I love watching your videos! I really enjoy how you share your process with us and how you explain it as you go along!!! Thank you so much!

[@kmmiller9876]

I so needed this after the Viking loss yesterday. These are wonderful and so cute. Love that they are a bit different in layout and color. CAS with a bit of loft and bling. Perfect!

[@czdesign]

Yeah, it was a bummer. Oh well, next year!

[@nurseratchet8566]

Thee are all so different and so stinking cute! 💖❤💖

[@smileyj53]

watching the replay... sat at the VA ER with my husband for 3 hours.

[@jerryclark7872]

Absolutely love these cards. Thanks for sharing, Cathy!

[@corinarazo1404]

A sweet unboxing video? Yes, please! So many fun products in this kit. I'm looking forward for my kit to arrive in a few weeks. Thanks for all the inspiration. Look forward to your next card sesh 👉

[@czdesign]

Great job with all the cards today Cathy, Wow Wow Wow.

As always, Cathy, your amazing! So creative! Love every card, but the strawberries are my favorite. Thank you again for sharing with us!

[@lariwyman6273]

Cathy... I enjoy watching your videos...have a blessed day!💗💗💗

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I'm not being nasty or sarcastic when I say that I am so proud of you that you came out of your light gray and light pink comfort zone with alcohol inks, and used bright pink alcohol ink colors and enjoyed it immensely. I love these cards and colors. They are fantastic. Love watching you craft.

[@angelasprouse4992]

Wow Cathy! These are all so pretty and really well done. So cute!!

[@cheri6905]

Cathy - my favorites are your two 'Love' cards, but ALL of them are wonderful!!

[@jenniferdrake1210]

Love all the cards, of course I do love pinks. Jenny 🇨🇦😊

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

What a fun video. Your cards turned out so cute. Love the chocolate covered strawberry, yum. Thanks for the delicious inspiration. 🇨🇦

[@CatherinesCreations7]

What a cute set of cards, Cathy. I liked them all but I think the strawberry card is my favorite.

[@amyt6254]

Wonderful cards! Great tip on using the electric eraser to remove specs of embossing! Thank you!

[@Harleylady2000-Teresa]

Replay I Just want to tell you I love watching you play around ,there were a few things I was afraid to do but after watching you and listening to your calm voice I felt so comfortable to try them and it really worked thank you so much for doing all that you do.

[@czdesign]

That is awesome!

[@michellehackett8502]

All of your cards came out great, and I love how you are evolving your abilities right before our eyes. You’re very inspirational.❤️😍

Loved all your cards! The strawberry 🍓 card you colored was my favorite

[@angiecammack5354]

Hi Cathy. I love YOU so much!! I think Caly Person does a great job showing wear to use the white gel pen on highlighted areas. Thanks for another wonderful unboxing. :)

[@czdesign]

Ohhh, yes! Caly is a brilliant color artist. I will go watch some of her videos!

[@angelicajacobs584]

Found a box of alcohol markers at Home Sense and omgggg IN LOVE..I get the hype it's awesome.

[@katyglenn9271]

These were the best cards! So beautiful and fun!

[@shirleysickinger200]

With the tri blends, put down your lightest color, then add darkest color around outline and where ou want shadows, add to those areas coming ou some the mid one then use lightest over I all to blends it out.

[@nancygriest1972]

Beautiful cards. My favorite is the strawberry card. So elegant. ❤️❤️❤️

[@cathihester6513]

The donuts are my favourite! So cute!

[@marysandersmacfadyen2675]

Your cards are so cool....you convinced me to get the kit. I would never have thought donuts or strawberries were in MY wheelhouse.

[@czdesign]

Enjoy!

[@patriciawilson4135]

Awesome cards. A great use of the products in the kit. Thanks so much.

[@MarietteLeppert]

Love all 5 cards, really do enjoy watch your videos

[@jantickle3488]

Hello from Mt Airy, North Carolina. I’m excited and ready to see what’s in store for February.

[@amyt6254]

I love your finished Lollipop card so much!!

[@cherylnewling9047]

Who would have thought doughnuts and strawberries would look that good on a card. I love the stencil heart and love card.

[@dianagebo7910]

I love my Tri Blends. I think you color great! Cute cards. Thank you.

[@margaretalbrecht4429]

Some of my favorite cards you’ve made! ♥️

Beautiful cards Kathy. The coloring came out good. You can learn more about triblends watching crafters companion (color me happy). These markers are they're brand and work great though I need to really really practice my coloring.

[@jo-annetedford519]

I love these kit videos!

All of them are so sweet 😉 #3&4 are my favorites.

[@rheaollett7806]

Such cute cards Cathy. I really enjoyed watching this card making session. 😊

[@markellecaldwell9236]

I love these cards, I can not wait to get my kit. Thank you for the inspiration. I love your excitement in all your cards.

[@shortiewright4159]

Another wonderful unboxing. Great cards, Cathy!! Thank you!

[@sonjah1983]

Thanks for all the inspiration! LOVE the donout & berry cards. Your card base adds so much cuteness to the cards!!🥰

[@LisaVornhagen]

All of those cards are really great! I love the "love" die and the colors of the triblend marker.

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

I love all the cards

[@lindachiasson5626]

Great video, great cards!

[@743linda]

Awesome video ❤

[@sandraodell4423]

Love the strawberry card.

[@susanhalgas6210]

Always love your unboxing videos ❤️ also the three different looks on the donuts with one marker is awesome, now I want tri-blend markers 🤔🤗🤭😁

[@joanngirimonte9349]

Beautiful cards Cathy 💖 Love the strawberry card the font on the sentiment is beautiful !!!

[@ginaware6117]

Cathy, I love all your cards and videos. But I think these may just be my favorite designs that you’ve created yet!! ❤ so adorable! I often make my envelopes match the card- it’s so much fun and the recipient always loves them too! Happy heart day!

[@Cards4Cancer]

These are all really cute cards. I bet you can get replacement brush tips for the tri-blends you already have. ❤

[@jerralynrose]

I haven’t even seen it yet and the thumbs up Like is already there for Cathy, he he he. This is going to be fun!

[@pamelazimin4326]

I love these cards ❤ I struggle with coloring too. I keep buying alcohol markers of different kinds.I love the idea of the 3 colors in one marker. Thank you!

[@ea8435]

Glad to see you using the tri blends. I have several kind of alcohol markers and I love having options and sometimes not having to think about which colors to grab that will get me a nice blend. Love the kit and your cards. All so cute!

[@barbw8972]

So stinkin’ cute! I love your makes. The strawberry one is adorable but my fave is the donut card. 😍

[@caroldick6394]

i have the tri blends and they are fantastic. i dont do a whole lot of colouring so i have about 2o tri bends so i actually have 60 different shades so its plenty for all my needs without breaking the bank. love your channel cathy xxx

[@shawnae-k4533]

The downside of this is that I ended up buying the this rather than the wild about you stamp set, which I also love. I need to win the lottery so I can buy all the supplies I want.

[@craftybee4644]

Love all the cards, can't decide which is my favourite! Loved seeing you do the envelope too. You will have to get some white envelopes and make matching envelopes for your cards. Although you can always stamp coloured envelopes with Versamark and get a tone on tone envelope if you want to use a coloured one :) x

[@sherryshumay]

I love my tri-blends. I have them all. You have to buy new ones, they have no refills. This is such a cute card kit. Thanks Kathy.

[@danahkempf7614]

When you added the grey to the strawberries I was holding my breath. Lol. I’m glad you made the shadow with the red. They all are so “berry” cute!

[@czdesign]

Yeah, it actually did not work until i put the red back!

[@sharonturner2599]

Love it, so wish we could get the Simon Kits in Australia! I have both sets of the TriBlends and absolutely love them 💕

[@ChelleWhite]

I ordered a Simon Kit to Australia - the poppy one (Sept/Oct?). It costs more (money conversion etc), and takes a while to get here but I love it.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Nice shading on the candy, CZ!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much 😀

[@janettagagnon3245]

I need all of your supplies!

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

Those are some psychedelic donuts. My favorite is the lollipop.

[@debbieford6862]

Love the cards. On the love you card, I would have layered the patterned paper over the area of glitter paper where the love was cut out. It doesn't show but you use what is essentially waste paper and keep your other glitter paper for another project

[@czdesign]

Great tip!

[@cherylthompson7157]

Fun video. Your friend, Kristina Werner, can teach you how to highlight with a white pen. Kelly Latevola Taylor uses white highlights too. I really want that love die, but it is on reserve right now unless I buy the kit. Thanks for sharing your sweet cards.

[@gorschtown]

Ditto & ditto. And also the gorgeous Vicky P - don’t ask me to spell her last name cause I’ll just massacre it. She collaborates with Stamperia & Art By Marlene a lot. Y’all know who I mean 😊

[@czdesign]

Oh yes! I love her!

[@danyellehall3351]

I too was going to recommend Kelly, she is an amazing copic colorist and her videos are very entertaining.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Oh! Wanted to let you know I found a whammy holder like yours on Amazon. I just searched Shammy Holder and it came up. I had to get one.

[@czdesign]

Oh, they are great!

[@MsLaurajudd]

Catching up on some of your videos so you may already know this, but when using a guillotine cutter you should be placing your paper at the bottom of the cutter instead of the top. It really makes a big difference.

[@czdesign]

Really? I never knew that!

[@Scrapjoy2010]

I really love all of these this month!!! I think the berries is my fav & love the add of the gold strip. Oh and thanks for the info on the TH paper…needing to adhere to cardstock before die cutting..boy have I been frustrated with it not working. Can I ask a silly ? Do the alcohol markers have a smell, like when you use and after on the card?

[@kays-gee9018]

Cathy, I guess you have to tighten the screw of your small guillotine trimmer, the handle seems to be way to loose, so the blades are too far away from each other. Your card ideas are so cute, as a purple lover I really love them 💜

[@czdesign]

Oh, will try that!

[@hazelfarris206]
