A white pencil rubber works brilliantly on stamps to condition them. Xx

The perfect card make to celebrate someone's birthday. Thank you for sharing. Look forward to your next card sesh 👉

[@ruthannsmith3470]

I love these balloons. I have that stencil coming, can't wait!! Your choice of colors is "spot on".

[@LisaVornhagen]

That is a really pretty card! I love the gold and the color combo. Those colors seem like they were made for each other..

[@ledonnamacurdy6081]

Perfect!

[@patriciawilson4135]

Cute card. Love how the balloons came out and masking off the area was a good call. I like your sentiments stamps. The font on the small words is great. Thanks.

[@brendamcbride6421]

Awesome card! The gold really adds to it.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I also do not cut the centers out of my bottom layer piece because of the little "dip-down" (perfect description, by the way). It may not be noticeable to most people, but I know it's there. Love your card today and I can hardly wait to get that balloon stencil! I do have the "Happy" die, and you were correct in saying not everyone needs the stamp set, but they still want the die.

[@czdesign]

Kay, it's very subtle but it's there. Yep. You get it!

[@rosegriffin8001]

Such a cute card. Love how you layered the balloons!

[@suehogren6987]

I love your cards. I may have to come out of retirement and get a job, as I keep buying stencils and products after watching your videos. LOL 😉

[@kathygroff4526]

Love it, the ink blending on the stencil is perfect! 🎈❤️

[@mpbailey18]

Delightful! Love the gold accents... So there are now erasers that we can buy to replace our own fingers for prepping a new die? That's amusing.

[@czdesign]

Ha! I thought of that, too! lol.

[@yvonnesmith6114]

So fun with Cathy!!

[@nurseratchet8566]

Beautiful birthday card 🎈💖🧡💛💚💙

[@cl-wc9kd]

Love this card!! Nice to see your stamp & die set in action. It is on my wish list. This looks like a Papyrus card!

[@lindaandersen4308]

Love this card, Cathy!! ❤ I definitely need that stencil and probably your stamp set, too! 😊

[@conniesanginesi4676]

Cathy, this is such a pretty card. Now it’s time to go and try making one while it’s fresh in my mind! Thanks for sharing.

[@bunnytoes7200]

Cathy, I’ve been unable to make many cards for almost a full year but I’m back. I barely recognize my studio. In fact for the past week I’ve been familiarizing my self and reorganizing in preparation. This card will be the template/inspiration for all birthday cards for the coming year although I may give sets to select recipients as Christmas gifts and send another for the birthdays of those people. Nothing like a goal. Your cards are elegant! Thank you so much.

[@fionascott4887]

This is such a classy looking card Cathy thank you for the inspiration

[@czdesign]

Welcome back!

[@debbiethomas8743]

I love looking at your nails every time that I tune in. I am envious o the shape of them before I even look at the colours. They are gorgeous. Do you do your own manicuring.?

[@czdesign]

Yes I do! It's my other hobby!

[@nataliez2123]

Great stuff, always! I watched your live replay yesterday? You mentioned you liked the enamel dots/jewels that are smaller. Me too. Memory Box has a product called “Fairy Jewels” (under the Open Studio line, I think) All the jewels are 2-3 mm. Super small, lots of colors.

[@czdesign]

Oh i will check that out!

[@czdesign]

I just put some in my cart!

[@daisyandpadme]

I love this card, simple but so nice! I have pre-ordered you stamp/die set, I can't wait until it arrives. Two pairs of shoes???? I won't say how many I have but I could go 75+ days without wearing the same pair of shoes ;)

[@czdesign]

We all have our things that we collect, right? ha! I just have very few shoes.

[@maryannferry2977]

Very cute card! I love balloons on a birthday card! Also, I love this Gymnopédies piece of music. Who does this version?

[@czdesign]

I got it from the music service I subscribe to!

[@0savsav]

Hello, I have just gotten into card marking. I enjoy watching your videos as they are fun and easy to follow. Just wondering if you have a video on what card making tools you recommend for a beginner?

[@czdesign]

well, i have some blog posts from when i first started. I'll share both: www.cathyzielske.com/2017/12/top-10-card-making-tools-products-2017/ www.cathyzielske.com/2018/12/my-top-10-tools-and-products-for-2018/ And I have this video that I made after I'd been making cards for a while: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXe7YZWZoql4rsk BUT so much changes… so you have given me a great idea for a new video!

[@kate4986]

Hi Cathy. I love love love what you do. I've been making cards for a while now, and my friends are suggesting I sell some at one of their cafes. I would like to do this, but some of my cards are from your channel and obviously your designs. Am I able to sell these cards? Thanks ❤❤❤ I'm in Australia 😊

[@czdesign]

Personally? I don't mind at all.

[@gilabalsam9511]

Love this!! How big was the cardstock you started with please?

[@czdesign]

I always start with an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet

[@debbiethomas8743]

If you wanted to do a cutout of your gold stock couldn’t you fill it with a cheaper paper so you don’t have that problem.

[@gilabalsam9511]

Yes but how big is the cropped piece you’re working on in the beginning

[@czdesign]

I start with a 4.25 x 5.5 inch piece of cardstock, then the die I used to trim the blended ballon panel down is 3.75 wide by 5 inches tall.

[@gilabalsam9511]

Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try it!

[@reneehussey5126]

Wondering what brand of large scissors did you use?Tia

[@czdesign]

OH, forgot to link: • SSS Everyday Scissors --- ldli.co/e/43101gn

[@susanhammitt7080]

I hope my glasses hid my pimple :) Why do we women in our 60's still get pimples? What is the deal with that? Have a blessed Easter. I think in Ham Lake we may soon see our lawns again.

[@czdesign]

Right? I mean, what is up with that!

[@three2onemum]

[@jerryclark7872]

Love this card!

[@reneehussey5126]
