New stamps (and dies!), now what to do with them? Let's design together!

New stamps AND new dies? Now what? Join me for another process video wherein I take a set I've never used and make something. Along the way, I'll talk about design choices, you'll see a photo of my at 14 in my skating costume, and who knows what else!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

I am of the philosophy that if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. And when you are on this side of the video screen, we have choices: 1) watch the video or 2) click stop if it's not to our taste because I truly feel there's enough negativity out there and I personally do not think that it serves a purpose. Keep those videos coming... I for one am loving them. 😊

[@czdesign]

It is weird because I've never given a thumbs down to anything on KZbin. I've also never left a negative comment. I think it takes a lot of energy to put negativity into the world. Or maybe it takes more energy to put positivity into the world? Now I don't know which ones easier because it seems like people like to share their negative perspective so freely. It's OK. I'm having a lot of fun and there are so many people like you that make up the majority of commenters and for that I am grateful.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

@@czdesign I am like you. I much prefer to put a positive spin on things. However, that being said, I confess that I have stopped so,e KZbin videos if I don't find them interesting. But I have never given a thumbs down or negative comment. Ultimately the KZbinr must have liked what they produced so who am I to be negative. 😉

[@czdesign]

@@brendaelainewaddell1682 Yes, I am totally guilty of clicking away quickly if I'm not interested, or worse, if the audio is crackly, lol, but they are in the arena, right? Doing their thing and as long as they're not being offensive, I say, good on them!

[@karaokelola]

Appreciate seeing your creative process. And I have both the die and stamp set, so I was excited to see you using them.

[@crystal13l]

Cathy Zielske me either. And agree that it takes a lot more energy! I really don’t like the angry face on FB either and have never used it.

[@leahcleary1136]

You are doing so great with these videos - and as Brene Brown said “if they don’t know you personally, don’t take it personally”. You are fab and we love what you’re doing ❤️❤️❤️

[@czdesign]

Now that is a quote to live by!

[@dianaking9495]

Leah Cleary - wow, I write this one down. Thank you for sharing this and encouraging others in the process❣️

[@leahcleary1136]

It’s a good one! Brene Brown is well worth looking up if you haven’t seen her stuff. It’s courageous to put yourself out there and I think Cathy is doing great things.

[@Annie_Warbucks71]

Oh Mother of Pearl!!!! I love this series!!! I am guilty of buying stamps and being excited to do lots of projects with them, yet when I have them right in front of me I have no idea what to do. You inspire me to just do it. Thank you for the great Ideas and giggles.

[@lauraolsson7695]

This series is exactly what Ive needed! I open the package with the stamps and dies Ive purchased, feel super excited, and then put them on my craft desk with a blank stare...until now! Oh, and I totally prefer seeing you in the bubble, it helps somehow🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you!

[@czdesign]

I think I'll stay in the bubble. I have a friend his name is Daniel West and he does live videos that I really enjoy and he's always in the bubble and I think it's nice to see the face and not just The Voice.

[@lauraolsson7695]

Yay! Stay in that bubble☺️😅. (This phrase may end up being quite popular haha! )

[@susanjohnson318]

And how else can we see you as Mickey Mouse? =)

[@TheLittleminxie]

Where I'm from in the UK we say the following to remember the colour order for a rainbow: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain.

[@czdesign]

Okay THAT is going to be my new saying! I love it!

[@MajicInOz]

Cathy, you make me laugh so much-I just love your sense of humour! This card is adorable and I think the grey is perfect. This series is already making me get out (and use!) some stamps that have just been sitting on my shelf staring at me accusingly 😉

[@czdesign]

So glad!

[@rebecca_elyse]

I’m absolutely loving this series! I would love to see a Christmas edition (or maybe more than one!) as Christmas gets closer.

[@49lucky]

Me 2

[@czdesign]

Great idea!!

[@surgicaltechcrafter2169]

Just subscribed. This was great. I thought "oh I could do embossed raindrops on the background that would look great on that gray cardstock. Hmmmm. I wish i didn't work in the operating room and could spend more time crafting. Laughing, I took my dining room down and converted it to my craft space lol thank you. In my line of work you can not have thin skin🤣😂

[@czdesign]

Thanks for subbing!

[@rebeccah.4242]

Embossed raindrops would be adorable!!

[@amyw6927]

How sad that some of us feel the need to be unkind. I love your comment about being thin skinned to let in the light and creativity - stellar thought process!!! You give me hope because while watching all the clever stuff you do, I had a thought or 2 about how I'd do things a bit different, then I wondered if that makes me critical, then you said your comments about thin skin and light and creativity, and then I get the light and understand that I just learned from you how to let my own thoughts and creativity flow. Gosh, what a lesson in understanding -- thanks so much for sharing yourself, knowledge, and creativity with those of us still struggling to get it. You are awesome!!!

[@czdesign]

Amy, I love how folks do things differently! That is how I have learned SO many great tips! I love it when people share their techniques or suggestions. But is less fun is when people are just mean. hahaha!

[@marniedidlick5964]

Omg you are a joy to watch! I love your sense of humour and I constantly find myself giggling as you create. Yes its a simple card but my goodness it comes out beautiful. Keep these videos coming!!!

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@pattir9591]

That little 'half' cloud in gray would look cute in the corner of a card. I am LOVING these videos!

[@czdesign]

Great idea!!

[@recoveringsoul755]

I knew a guy in the early 80's who was smitten with the Muppets movie. He had a little stuffed cloud with rainbow fringe hanging from the ceiling, but he also had a sort of gray satin stuffed rain cloud with "rain fringe" coming out of it, shades of blue purple grey white maybe black. It was cute. Not sure if I've seen the muppet movie or if it had anything to do with that movie.

[@debt.8971]

I enjoy your videos. This series is fun. It’s like watching ourselves craft. I don’t record myself, but I do talk to myself sometimes. It’s part of the process.😉

[@CatherinesCreations7]

I love it when you have a new video out here, you crack me up and I learn something at the same time! It is fun to see your process, cute card!

[@czdesign]

Glad you like them!

[@nicolalubbe1026]

Love the simplicity and the banter. Hubby had cupboards and a desk fitted in the garage (like you I have an office upstairs) but my garage is my favourite space in the house. It was then tiled and he added a matching desk for himself and that's our space

[@barbaramartin8507]

I love all of your videos! I get happy when I see you’ve posted one! Keep them coming! You are fun to watch, I always learn something, and your cards are gorgeous!

[@mccseq]

These videos are great. I get a lot of food for thought listening to you go thru the process and talk things out. Great card, love the gray, and the rainbow!

[@lynnengholt9927]

Love the card, Cathy. Thank you for the help with a new die and stamp set!

[@newlexness]

Cute simple card, it was fun to watch. Along the way, you always pop in little tidbits of crafty knowledge that benefit us all. Thank you!

[@linneahaasken5930]

Love that you are tackling a problem we all have and doing a great job. Thank you!

[@cheryllittmann1670]

Looks adorable! Good Job Cathy!

[@fRitaNfLora]

Great card! And I love this! I have so many sets of stamps and dies that I HAD to have and some how haven’t used them! So new sets are nice.... but revisiting older sets is great! Thanks for sharing your time and talent.... and humor!!! 💕

[@Theunlikelycrafter]

Love this series. I have a ton of stamps that I haven’t used, you’ve inspired me to take a look. Great job!

[@ruthannsmith3470]

Cute card!! Always see things I think I need. Love the straight rainbow.

[@cathithorpe9036]

I’m loving this series! I have so many unused stamps/dies and watching your process is very helpful. Also love the happy cloud card.

[@loris3295]

A cute, fun card! Love this series. You have inspired me to create with the stamps and dies I've purchased but placed on a shelf unopened. Looking forward to the next video. Happy crafting!

[@junesefscik5801]

I love these videos....and yes, when I do a simple card, I do find I want to do several with additional elements and try more things. I love these videos and please don't second guess your decisions....it's your creativity I love. And I love the gray too. Thanks again

[@dianemclaughlin5093]

I find successful simple cards do give me the confidence and motivation to try more complex design ideas. Thanks for your series, Cathy🤗💟

[@luv4grands]

I love this series and watching your creative process! I have so many stamps and dies that I have not used yet so this is helping me step out and use them! I appreciate the tips that you share also. I will be trying the tape one to hold little die pieces! Thanks for all that you do!

[@rosesuenram6842]

Love love this series and your card. Gray is great!

[@pollyannaroberts3744]

As always, thank you for keeping us happy... by giving us your time and dedication.

I really enjoyed this creative journey with you and your fun sense of humor. Grey was a great choice. Thank you :)

[@dianeshaw2433]

Stay just the way you are... I enjoy your videos and I've learned a lot from your design principles. This series has been so helpful, I thought I was the only one who bought a stamp or die and wondered what I was going to do with it. Love your thought process and it's made me be a little more excited to just jump in and see what I create. I look forward to the next one. Thank you!!!

[@JenniffierKramer]

I like the gray. Super cute. I really enjoyed listening to your thought process I am new to stamping so hearing you design decision and your indecisiveness is super helpful for me.

[@CraftyKazzaH]

Your card is simple but I think it's cute too! To answer your question Cathy; I've been crafting for over 10 years and I can look at someone's project and usually see how they did it - once in a while there's a new technique or something to learn but mostly, i'm not afraid when it comes to papercraft - it's only paper, if it doesn't work, it has another side or can go in the bin and start again :o) When it comes to keyboard warriors having a go - they aren't worth anyones time or energy - let it go, let it go... thanks for sharing, i hadn't seen either set before but like you i have many 'must have' purchases that haven't been used, I'm trying to remedy that nowadays though :o)

[@kimbain4368]

Love the gray background. Love the pink cheeks, gray eyes and mouth. Love the white embossed sentiment. Love your rainbow colors. Love it all! This is adorable!

[@ShawninAZ]

I love your writing , always have always will, and everything you create so I have to agree with Paul, love you!!! I’m so enjoying this series Cathy, thank you!

[@czdesign]

Thanks, Shawn!

[@ummekulsumkutub4791]

Adorable card. Love the simplicity, as the saying goes- Less is more. And yes, the pink cheeks 😍, neat way using the tape to hold the tiny pieces, never thought of that before.

[@beoneofthemany]

I really enjoy your process! I too am a graphic designer and have only been making cards as a hobby for about 3 years. So fun!!! I've learned a lot from you and find our humor and creativity refreshing and super relaxing. Thank you for your videos and all the lovely art products created under your CZ brand. .

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@karenjudy6936]

Hi Cathy. I'm so loving this series you're doing. I love the cards many others make but I love the simplicity of your designs also and that you show how to make a beautiful card without having to get fancy and detailed. Keep them coming please!

[@czdesign]

Glad you like them!

[@Laura_D]

Love the grey cardstock choice! Also, thanks for the trick of using the base of the scoring tool to help line up the card panel! I'm the queen of placing them down wonky and definitely will use this tip.

[@katyglenn9271]

I love making clean and simple cards. This card was wonderful. I love your tips and your banter as you are working. You are so real! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Stay safe and God Bless!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@melissaihler9389]

I have been enjoying this series. I find I struggle to come up with ideas when I get new stamps. Seeing your process is inspiring. I also appreciate your attitude toward the negative people. My thin skin certainly keeps me from putting myself out there. I hope to one day have the ability to not let it get to me so much. Keep creating!

[@shirleycooper2031]

You are a great teacher! I love your videos.

[@deborahrogers4107]

I love your your so-called 'simple cards.' There is so much thought that goes into them. This is a great series. I am watching all of them. What a great sense of humor. So we get beauty, intelligence and the feeling that you could just be our best friend.

Thank you so much!

[@Vijaylaxmi06]

[@karenmunson4401]

I enjoy watching your videos. I love your sense of humor, appreciate your extra tips! I taught second grade in west Michigan and I showed my kids ROYGBIV.

[@margaretschuering622]

I think your project is cute also like the pale gray background. Love this series of videos 'New stamps...". I think it gives newbies or oldbies to papercrafting/cardmaking and maybe other people who happen to stumble on your video some idea of what it takes to make a card/project. My friends and relatives (all non-crafters) love my cards, but don't understand all the little thoughts that go through the creator's mind and the physical steps that the creator has to go through to make a nice-looking card. Love your humor, observations and thought processes. Keep it up!

[@topcropper]

Love this series !!!

[@helenmurratti4672]

Cathy, I just discovered you today and became an instant fan. "New Stamps, Now What?" really got my attention. I get so excited for new items to arrive and put them away for another day, and life gets in the way. Love your personality and good ideas. I have been stamping for 20 years and it amazes me that I learn something new every day from videos, etc. Thank you!

[@jragnes]

Keep doing this series! Love all of your tips and pointers. Its great to see someone else's creative process. I think we all have a little thin skin. My mom always said "if you don't have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all." I always try to live by that. Some people are just always negative. I also feel those negative people are probably just jealous. Your voice and humor always give me a little boost!

At first, I was not thrilled with the gray background, but I thought about it and decided that I do like it. After all, clouds and rainbows emerge from stormy skies, so it all makes sense!! Good choice!! I enjoy your videos and your off-beat sense of humor. During these challenging days we all need to laugh, don't we!! What cracked me up today was a FaceBook video of the Cockatiel singing, "If You're Happy and You Know It"! I don't know why, but it made me laugh out loud!!

I'm new to your channel and this is my second "now what" video . I think you are AMAZING, engaging, funny, witty, smart, talented and with just the right amount of humility and authority. You know what you're doing and you don't apologize for it. I'm learning so much. Thank you!
