Never have I ever… made a card that lights up!

[@pennyadsit2695]

I've made several light up cards. I put the battery where it can be replaced. That way there are no excuses for tossing it in the trash.

[@Lainers2000]

Love the die and the candle is de-LIGHT-ful! (Ouch…sorry for the corny pun…I’m really tired). Thank you for the demonstration.

[@czdesign]

Love a good pun!

[@sherylbishop8153]

Cathy, I love that you try new and inventive things with your cards. You speak as though we are all in the room with you and that makes it so easy to watch. I like this card but would never have the patience to do all this for a little lite…and the price of lights is just not in this crafters budget. Thanks for all you do for this community!

[@czdesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@bertas-cards]

Cathy, I love that you showed your oops & kept going. Beautifully card.

[@SusanLillard]

This is what I love about your channel. Not only do you show beautiful cards but try new things with all the ups and downs.

[@shelleylund1985]

using one of those lights would be fun for a Hannukah card!

[@angela.thepapersentimentshop]

I LOVE this! I turned 40 in September and my husband got me a triple layer triple chocolate cake in pinks and rose gold. This reminds me so much of that cake. 🎂❤️

[@czdesign]

That is awesome!

[@LynnMLeBel]

Lynn Le Bel that's a great card!! So wonderful that it is interactive!!

[@whichwitchhazel]

Love your demo and beautiful card. Love your perseverance and filming without trying it out first. This is why people love you Cathy we learn from your errors xx

[@bluehorizon-e64]

I picture this with white icing and multi colored sprinkles! Yummy looking card.

[@terrybazemore7054]

I've never made a card that lights up👏👏👏I can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing❤❤❤

[@rhondacesana2221]

I just love how real you are! So encouraging for us who are still learning. Love the card!❤

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@michelejacobs115]

Oh, my goodness, Cathy, you make me giggle! The card is adorable! I just bought some lights to make cards with, so I found this video exactly when I needed to. I can't believe I missed it before now! It's nice that you show your mistakes so we can learn from them. Thank you for your fun, inspirational videos!

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@momoclangford4673]

Oh just love this. Watching you figure things out is a hoot! Thanks for the joy. 😅

[@natasam.3308]

So sweet and cool card, Cathy! Thank you my teacher! 😘 Hvala!😊

[@czdesign]

Hvala to you!

[@vickiwest4149]

Gorgeous!! And (reasonably) easy. Thanks for keeping it real, Cathy. 😅

[@tinadaniels3965]

Couldn’t be more perfect! I always wondered how to use those lights..very cool. Can we learn how to put music in a card next? ♥️

[@san1171]

Thank you Cathy! So fun to watch you!

[@rosemariesoper5654]

Watching the replay in Illinois. 😊 Looking forward to see how this is done! OK, too tedious for this old lady stamper! Great card! Wish I had the required patience to make it. TFS

[@aprilaguinaga3078]

I love that you show us your successes and not so successes. You are amazing!

[@czdesign]

I try! we all mess up!

[@susanbollinger2844]

This card was worth it because it's spectacular

[@sueplatt8899]

Thank you for sharing this, as I too, have had a light, that I have not used yet- now I have no excuse for not using it😉 such acute card-live that paper too!

[@janetmoore1124]

Great card! And the devil is always in the details...who would have thought that battery...?

[@carolprice3142]

Cathy that card turned out perfect ! Loved watching you make it

[@mindycraftscards]

I so appreciate you and your realness, Cathy! I continually run through a gamut of emotions when I watch your videos. Lots of aha moments and always a lot of laughing along and saying, "yep!" but I never, ever fail to learn something new. Now I need to try my first light up card.... Hugs to you.

[@czdesign]

Wow, thank you!

[@lilawetzel8213]

LOVE LOVE this card. You're so brave. I've never used one of these lights. You gave me inspiration to do so!!!!

[@michelleharris4014]

This is EXACTLY how it would go for me if I tried to engineer a light up card! My mind isn’t wired to handle it, haha. Loved seeing it all come together!

[@czdesign]

Yep! I had fun though! hahah

[@deborahcurtis98]

You are the REAL DEAL.🤩

[@nancymalloy6325]

Way to stick with it and keepin' it real!

[@bethl999]

I had to laugh at your telling the battery to stay. It worked about as well as giving a cat a command 😂

[@prettypinwheels]

Such a fun video! The light up card is adorable! 😍🥰

[@joannbedsaul6068]

Love this!!! May have to try some lights . Thanks for sharing, bloopers and all. 😊

[@dianamoyer]

I love your card! I like that you used the gem for the flame too. I have those lights and I've had them for a few months. Maybe it's time to use them. I'm thinking I'll use them for a star on top of a tree for a Christmas card. I love that you keep it authentic because we all make mistakes. Thank you for being you! ❤

[@czdesign]

Yes, get them out and give it a go!

[@amandacrompton4776]

Love this card. And love how you keep it real.

[@user-sd8it3gh2w]

Love this card and your channel. It makes me want to try using lights.

[@reba86442]

How sweet Cathy

[@agwynne50]

WHEW! that was almost like work...but worth it!!!

[@lindaball403]

This was good! Love the card

[@patriciawilson4135]

So glad you did this video as like you, I've had those lights sitting and have been afraid to try and make a card with them. Kudos to you for completing it and making it work. Maybe I can get my courage up now to try one. Thanks so much.

[@candyt7083]

Great card and this video is hysterical! Love your reality.

[@moniquevann9950]

So 🥰 hard work does pay off👍

[@KathrynHeaven]

I love your videos but this one is perfect. Thank you for your honest, fun, and informative videos. You are awesome! K😊

[@getcraftay]

Unfortunately, despite how cool it is, no one I know would keep the card long enough for me to put the effort into the light feature. I love the paper you used for the cake layers! It looks like a marble cake! I might have to get those dies cuz I have a bunch of paper like that!

[@Teresa-Q]

Looks beautiful…now you can add architecture to your resume. lol 💜💜💜

[@czdesign]

ha! i can!

[@Tipsey_McStagger]

Oh what a wonderful card! And a super fun video x

[@Cards4Cancer]

You did a great job Cathy. I keep meaning to pick some up, and give that a try.

[@Teresa-Q]

Nails are lookin’ awesome ♥️♥️♥️

[@PearBlossomPress]

What a gorgeous card Cathy! 🤩🤩🤩 Haha, I've installed the battery upside down on accident once too 😂

[@czdesign]

Yes, I was taking pics, feeling so accomplished… then I realized my error! hahahah! Thanks so much again, for sending! Next, I tackle the three-light lights!

[@colleenberg5094]

Boy that looks so cute I I believe I’d have done those mistakes and not be so calm but your a pro! Love the card😊

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Fantastic card. I to have lights. I have not made a card with yet. Thank you for this video. I might have to try and make one now.

[@katyglenn9271]

This was a great video! Love the light 👏🏼🩷

[@LisaVornhagen]

That is an amazing card! I love that you showed the ups and downs of making it so we know what to expect if we ever make one. Thank you!

[@HaveCraftsWillTravel]

Love it, Cathy! Thanks for keeping your videos “real”. ❤️

[@sherrytruitt1028]

This is darling, if I got this, I would definitely keep. Too pretty to toss!💜

[@delinaquilter1418]

Cathy Zielske - When you are clipping off the nodules that remain on the dies, put you index finger on your right hand over the clipper blades (above the hollow out section with the blade at the place to be cut). Then when you clip it, the flying metal will be contained by you finger and not fly all around the room to be stepped on bare footed!

[@sueenberg4893]

LOVE your determination!!! That's me too. "I can make this work" And you DID!! Good job Cathy ❤

[@Corvidae65]

Cake can be any color a person wants (even black)! Anything works. Yours look very yummy. Thank you for sharing. Audra

[@cathylaycock5598]

Cathy, this is really cute! I think most of us crafters are fussy about our finishes on our work. We’re perfectionists. I haven’t done cards with the lights either. Waiting until I can afford them better in time. 😊❤️🇨🇦

[@binge1804]

Super Cute!!!

[@dianemcdonald3900]

Super cute!!

[@poorsjm]

Bravo!🎉 That is gonna be one lucky friend to receive this spectacular card!🥰

[@pmacorky]

The icing part cut from the swirled paper would have been nice with cake slices in pink.

[@koolmom16]

Love this slice of cake

[@laurabush9812]

I laughed out loud when you said you’d include the QR code to this video for the recipient!😂

[@racheljakubiak1235]

Such a cool card!!!

[@pattiepan]

I just know I would have similar problems as you had. I'm a klutz when it comes to things like that. You did it and I think I have a few old things like that too that I may feel brave enough to try now . ha ha ha ha. I was so happy when it lit up. pat

[@rhondareynolds8007]

Such a beautiful cake! And so fun with the light on the candle.

[@steen0716]

This is so great! ❤❤❤

[@janethock4043]

Last year I did a Christmas tree with lights on it. It was so cute but I forgot how I did it. Thanks for reminding me. Janet Hockenberry

[@magosiabroda3332]

Delicious!

[@delinaquilter1418]

Strawberry swirled marble with raspberry (purple)

[@melissazabower339]

Love that patterned paper. I was quoting you in my head yesterday -- trying to cash a check my body can't cash. I had an idea for a shaker card but I just couldn't figure it out. It seemed so simple in my head. . .

[@Jackieofallthingscrafty]

Wow I have to try this! 😮

[@Teresa-Q]

Beautiful paper

[@mpbailey18]

Fun video! Really don't think I'd ever spend the money and the time/effort though. What about a gizmo that plays music?

[@pnut671]

Oooo that’s beautiful. I was thinking the patterned paper could also be the fondant on the cake and the buttercream inside with plain sponge layers and it would look like a marble design cake 😍 Px

[@jerrimcentire5710]

Late to the party 😢. Love the nails. I’m all in for cake 🎉

[@penniesplace]

There are not enough hot pink cakes out there!

[@pamelamoniz608]

Great job, Cathy! Question is the picture on the die envelope backward? It looks like your cake faces the opposite direction.

[@czdesign]

Yes, i believe it is!

[@angelaw9004]

Great video Cathy ❤😂❤ now go and have a good long fruit salad

[@PinkyBlueInkWell]

Just joined. Hmmm did somebody say cake??????

[@latricephillips9090]

I have attempted to recreate this 3 times and failed. I can't get my foam thin enough

[@czdesign]

Oh no! Well, try the smallest, sharpest scissors you have to cut the foam. : ) It can be tricky to do!

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

So cute but all you needed to do was put the pull in after you put everything together it should just slip in.

[@czdesign]

I will try that next time!
