Cathy, love these techniques with the stencils and masking. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.The card is beautiful.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Love those little mid century modern flowers.

[@suesmith2353]

Oh my goodness!!! I love this card. I absolutely think I need to purchase these stencils now. 😉

[@pennefreeman1053]

You are the Bob Ross of my life!! Ty.

[@stamperssecret5379]

I was a teenager in the late 60s and early 70s. I think I had a pair of bell bottoms in the pink floral print. Seriously. Loved growing up in that era.

[@czdesign]

I had flared Toughskins from Sears.

[@stamperssecret5379]

@@czdesign we talked about embossing powders before, but I forgot which ones you like. Lol. Imagine that. Lol. Any good words for WOW? Between my husband and his kids I got $1000 in Amazon gift cards. I haven’t spent much of it. I did get a bundle of tiny squirrel brushes and a beginners calligraphy set. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at it for years. I finally invested in a good set. I mean, shoot, I could even buy furniture with that much. I told them about Simon Says, but I guess it was easier to get the Amazon cards. Lol. Happy New Year to my best mentor!

[@mromeo7421]

adorable card

[@nancyloomis3046]

Wow, such a pretty card! Those soft pastel flower colors and silver “hello” all laid on the crisp very white background….just beautiful. It all works for a very pleasing design!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@cindydrevs3489]

Beautiful card! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@ediecain9778]

I still sooooooooooooooo wish you lived across the fence from me, because everytime (which is a lot) I finish one of your tutorials, I wish I could bring you pie and coffee or something and sit an visit for a while, or should say laugh. xxoo love to you! Edie Cain

Such a pretty card, so bright and fun.

[@jarmac7420]

Love it!! If you want to move something you have attached with foam squares or tape, heat it with a heat tool and you can reposition it.

[@czdesign]

Great tip!

[@phoenixineohp]

Another card crafting youtuber put me onto Un-du which doesn't hurt anything you use it on but does temporarily remove the adhesion. So when I need to reposition something I just use that and then let it dry! Then it's as good a new! It's saved MANY cards.

[@jarmac7420]

@@phoenixineohp That's interesting!!

[@cropnkathy]

OMG! I love this card and think it needs to be your plus one for your Top 10 of the year. Gorgeousness!!!!!

Hi Cathy, I have to 😂! I was sooooo excited to watch your video today and at the end I was wondering when the "magic" was going to happen!?! OMGOSH! I thought the title read ... MAKE Your Stencils, not ... MASK Your Stencils. Ugggg! None-the-less I LOVED this card and u are such a joy to follow! Thank u & blessed crafting! 😊

Oh my gosh. Love this card.

[@kimgrimes632]

Adorable card. I like that set-it’s a great one. I didn’t consider masking it, not sure why that didn’t occur to me. My goal this year is to use my supplies a lot more. I’m off to a good start so far. Not sure why I picked a bigger project to kick that into motion, but I did. I’m making a card/notecard holder and 3 note cards, X6 for my team at work. I’m getting there. Thought about laminating the holder part, but then I don’t know if I should score tape the edges down first and the pockets, then go back with a knife to slit the pockets, or laminate the entire thing and hope the score tape will hold well on the laminated surface. Still deciding. I have a couple more steps on the cards first before I have to make a decision. I’m glad you like the white tip on the Studio Katia tool-it helps a lot. Well, here we go into a new year. Buckle your seatbelt and make sure your seat is and tray table is secured in the upright position-Lol! Happy New Year Cathy! Looking forward to a new year of videos. In fact, I checked out your new web page, read your awesome story, and discovered you have a typography/font class. Adding it to my list for this year. I tried for some time to learn more about that way back in the Ali Edwards and Simple Scrapbook days. Something new to look forward to.
