New Stamps (new die!), Now What? An EASY solution to coloring a detailed stamp image!

In this longer process video, I'll show you an easy way to get around adding color to detailed images, plus the resulting card? Not a hot mess! The result is a CAS (clean and simple) card, featuring simple emboss resist and painting with Distress Inks. This would be a great card for a beginner, but of course, you need a few supplies! To see the photo of the card on my blog: wp.me/p4O62M-ai0
NOTE: The die sold out right before I pressed publish! But if you click notify me in either shop, you will be notified when it's back in stock. But keep in mind: you can use any similar supplies you have on hand to try this approach!

Honestly, it doesn’t matter how my day is going when I watch one of your videos (or 5) my day is instantly brighter! Learning something new is a pretty cool bonus. I do hope you never stop making your little sound effects. They’re pretty awesome! 😊💗

[@czdesign]

Wow, thank you!

[@sameenaquinn5211]

You always make me smile! I love your attitude about card making, ..and life!! I am sure you already know this, but I was blown away when I saw that you can put a warped card through your die cut machine and it will flatten right out!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

We are such kindred spirits, yes, sounds effects are what makes the card! Thanks so much for sharing your time, talent, & creativity!!! YOU ROCK SISTA!!!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@julieb737]

I never would have thought to do a rainbow of colour on a wreath ! I fact I wouldn’t have bought a wreath stamp full stop . You’ve changed my thinking on both . Cheers for that . The card looks cool and classy and I do enjoy your style and all I see of you on KZbin .

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I love watching your videos. You have a great sense of humor ... and you have to talk to yourself to be artistic. At least that's what the voices in my head tell me. Love your cards.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@cindym9851]

My husband asked who I was singing and bopping to from the other room!! “Oh I’m just helping my friend Cathy make a card”, says I. 😁. You brighten any day! Adorable creation!!

[@czdesign]

Love that!

[@ruthspencer6081]

Cathy I love your vids! You make me smile and sometimes outright laugh. I love how you get so excited over your cards.- just like me😊Thanks for all your techniques and tips. Blessings on you girl🌺

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@nataliepetersen4502]

I love this stamp! I agree, makes it better when you make the little *pop* noise! I also would have shied away from a stamp like this, but you've inspired me to look at other ways to use them.

[@kimbain4368]

The way you put this card together was magical. I love that wreath! Brilliant. And the rainbow colors were a wonderful touch as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@PaperhugsbyKim]

[@czdesign]

Thank you! I try to keep it simple as I can. : )

[@Cards4Cancer]

I'm not sure which is more adorable, the card, or your excitment over seeing what you created. I do talk to myself when I craft, but I am alone, so no one else knows. Thanks Cathy for the lesson and entertainment. 💞

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@lorispitzer8289]

You're not alone, Karla! We're with you in spirit. BOOP!

[@kathygroff4526]

Love the rainbow wreath you created today! I have another wreath stamp, it’s continuous all around, has a die,, and I think I could try it with this idea. Thanks for sharing and giving us another visit to your Craft/Dining Room....Love you and Laura! 💌 Since I noticed all the ages people proudly added, mine is 68. Card making is my retirement!

[@czdesign]

What a great way to retire!

[@scrapendipitysmh]

[@kimwright2466]

Really really pretty card Cathy!! Love the technique! I always enjoyed watching you and always learn something, so thanks💜

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@deb52500]

Well aren’t you a smarty pants! Love that idea for aligning the die when you cant see exactly where to put it. I just got purchased that set. WOOHOO!. I thought you would sing lets do the hokey pokey :)

[@debbiewhitmore1876]

I love to watch your videos because you make me feel like I could do this. Every time! That card is amazing.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@cristacoughlin5429]

I love the narration... and I talk to my stuff too and tell it what to do! I just love you... I think you’re hilarious. The card making is a bonus 🤣

[@DeeCreates]

Very sweet card!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@pattir9591]

You are hilarious! What a fun video! I had my fingers crossed when you were taking it out of the die. I thought I was the only one to 'talk myself' through the process! Great card! (BTW, I had no ads, but run a couple different ad blocker apps in the background)

[@28dani]

I love this card and your videos.

[@czdesign]

Glad you like them!

[@ninikelley9146]

I love this nail polish color!

[@czdesign]

Thanks, Nini!

[@theresagerlach6217]

I talk to myself all the time! Great card!

[@neenmach]

You’re so funny about your age! I’m 53 and just don’t care about age anymore. I do want life to slow down, cause it seems like it’s to quick. But I love your card; It came out wonderfully. Enjoy your night and stay safe!

[@czdesign]

Same here! I love this age and want as many years as I can get!

[@norinemueller4588]

It really came out nice as always thank you

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@dheredia2789]

I enjoy your series so much. Hey I'm never afraid to tell my age, 71. You look fabulous!!! Love your cards and how you teach. Also love you let us know your nail colors, because you have beautiful hands!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@cherij9008]

I never lie about my age! I'm 71 & considering the alternative I'm thrilled to tell anyone who will listen LOL!

[@didiirwin]

Ms Heredia, you look great! I am 64 and I will never lie about my age. Cathy is so awesome, but still such a spring chicken...age-wise, of course! LOL

[@robinridpath7542]

Great card! Great episode! I love how you turned MFT's Winter Wreath into a Spring wreath.

[@maryespeland9627]

Very pretty!

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@carolcotter9416]

This is an adorable card and I especially like the narration and sound effects. Have a lovely day.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@florcruz7006]

Love your attitude about age🤣. Thank you for the tip today. I will send you my hot mess.

[@teriferron6394]

Pretty wreath. Would make a lovely Easter card.

[@conniedenaples2791]

Hi Cathy, Another beautiful card. You are so funny! Always fun and relaxing!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@ceceliaspencer4976]

I love your cards. And, I watched the sequin placement video and it was so very helpful. Thank you!

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lorispitzer8289]

I busted out laughing at "I normally don't talk to myself this much when I am releasing the hounds." OMG my eyes were watering, I laughed so hard! Your card is a thing of beauty, CZ!! BOOP! I love the running commentary that is seriously close to stream of consciousness. In fact, I think you're there. LOVE the card and the crafter always brightens my day! Thanks and have a very happy Thanksgiving!! Lori S in PA

[@czdesign]

Aw, thanks, Lori! Happy T Day to you!

[@didiirwin]

“Bonjour citron!” Oh my gosh, Cathy, you just crack me up! I absolutely LOVED this video (I know, I’m starting to sound like a broken record) seriously, the results may be clean and simple but, your creativity knows no bounds. It is such a pleasure to watch you. Thanks Cathy ❤️

[@czdesign]

You are kind to say that!

[@Suusannnn]

At 18:00 "It worked!". That's me every single time I don't mess up a project. Hahaha!

[@czdesign]

Same here. Every. Single. Time.

[@Theunlikelycrafter]

Love this technique. I don’t think I would’ve thought of this and I’m “scared” of coloring sometimes.

[@avrawilliams8675]

This wreath turned out so pretty!

[@czdesign]

Thanks, Avra!

[@patriciacornelius1588]

Very pretty Cathy!

[@czdesign]

Thanks, Patricia!

[@juliegauchay4219]

I might not be the smartest bulb in the tree?! 😂😂😂😂 Beautiful card! Loved the commentary today. Boop! 😆

[@czdesign]

Boop!

[@gorschtown]

I wrote a lovely long comment here, but I got cut off & taken on a lovely Star Trek-esque tour of KZbin that I didn't need today. SO, to keep it short... great video CZ!!! It and the rain (we don't get much in Brisbane AUS) were the absolute highlights of me day. I don't have any particular order for my top 5 or so fave KZbinrs because I love them for different reasons, but you are definitely up there sitting on the moon or swinging from the stars. Happy Holiday Season CZ!

[@czdesign]

Aw… you are so kind, Megan! Happy day down under!

[@amyfouts9781]

Very beautiful.

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@debbiehaney8996]

I just received this stamp and die (along with Winter Birds) yesterday. Glad to see you create with it. Pretty card!

[@czdesign]

Ohhh. The Winter Birds are SUPER cute! You can pop a bird into the wreath!

[@chrisbjornstedt]

Love this technique. Don't love the ads. And, I really enjoyed the shorter videos...not that I want to see less or you! just appreciate the quick and fast. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@czdesign]

Yeah, I am sorry about the ads! I forgot to check a box and there were like 8 ads??? I had no idea until someone told me. That is NOT what I want. One in the middle of a long video is okay. And one at the start, is kind of standard. It's one way we content creators can earn a little money on this platform. :) I have a short video coming this weekend!

[@robinmcauley3462]

Beautiful

[@czdesign]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@giselled.4149]

Another great CAS card! I make sound effects too. I’m glad I’m not alone! Lol!

[@czdesign]

Love it!!

[@jilldigwood4328]

Beautiful card Cathy & great sound effects 😂 Much love from Spain 😘

[@czdesign]

Glad you enjoyed it, and the sound effects.

[@nicolathurlow864]

I talk to myself and make noises when I’m crafting. I love listening to your stream of consciousness. Thank you.

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome
