More Card Design Basics! (Repetition for beautiful card design!)

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

Love the depth and detailing the black pencil adds and your gorgeous reflected symmetry design too. I've loved that concept since I first heard you speak of it and use it quite a bit in my designs. A design concept that really resonates for me. I love the way you teach in your tutorials Cathy, your fun approach and humour draws me in, but it's always your take on design and your wonderful way of sharing that, that I find so wonderful xoxo

[@czdesign]

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

Catching the replay. I use a bottle with a dauber top for my gamsol. That way I just touch the stump to the wet top to get it wet.

[@kayfurnish8715]

The Waffle Flower Grip Mats are the best thing since the Misti was invented! No more magnets!! I have them in my Mini and one of my Original sizes (I keep the other one for cling stamps). I also use the Tim Holtz grip mats (cut down) for my ink pads because the woodpecker noise bugs me (no pun intended). Love the way the card turned out today....that little bit of black at the base of the flowers and leaves really makes a difference. Sorry I missed the Premiere!

[@patriciawilson4135]

This is a simple and elegant card. I liked the effect with the black pencil and the Gamsol. Thank you for showing us that trick.

[@pamelamoniz608]

Thank you, Cathy, for zooming in when using the black pencil and gamisol. Often it is very hard to see fine details when the video is so far away. Very beautiful card!

[@melissazabower339]

The pencil & gasoline really makes a difference! I love the soft colors. 💛😊

Gamsol, not gasoline. She didn't actually risk blowing up the craft room

[@MariFern3]

A beautiful card 😍 I was always told not to use gamsol to blend as its a solvent and will degrade the paper and ink. For a greeting card its probably not that important but if it’s something you want to keep then I was always told to use a blending pencil suitable for the type of pencil you are using. 🤷‍♀️

[@czdesign]

Yes, for a card it's likely not a big deal!

[@MariFern3]

Morning Kathy, always a great way to start the day , with one of your videos. I have a quick question about the grip mat. Is that the same as the gel plate. Are they interchangeable?

[@laurabush9812]

I suspect you lined up the die on the floral as well as you could have, but when you stamped the image that stem wasn’t quite in line with the die. I realized I needed to do a template for the stamping to make sure that stem was in line. (But I don’t think it’s noticeable in the end!)

[@czdesign]

A template would have helped!

[@juliesmith3857]

Wow. I love that. Never used gamsol. Looks fun! Where do we get blending stumps?

I always love your shorter vids. I work full time and can’t watch your lives that go over an hour plus. Would you please consider doing an edited video of your “lives” like Kristina Warner does. She edits down her lives to be about 20-30 min. and cut out the extra chatter, choices, etc. Thanks! Love your simple designs also! I need to make sympathy cards again…ugh, life. 😢 This would be great for that! ❤️

[@czdesign]

Hello there! I tried that for a bit, but I felt like it wasn't a good fit for my channel at this time. The editing takes a surprising amount of time, lol, and my livestreams are meant to be just that… a live. This video here is not a live. It was edited to be the length that it is. : ) Sometimes, I can't squeeze all the steps into a shorter time frame. So sorry!

[@jenniferralph2015]

Jennifer Maguire also edits down her videos and I believe Simon Says as well.

[@robinkuketz326]

I love the lives just the way they are! I rarely see one while it's live, but I still get the feel of being there and seeing everything that happens. I love that in some of the lives chat suggestions are used. It helps me be a better card maker.

[@Heartofmyday_kathyday]

Stay the way you are. You’re awesome. There is always fast forward 😂😮😊
