My goal for craft room in the new year is to gut some part as I have some new shelves going in, Provided my ( father, who has recently passed away) I hope he will be happy that it will give me more room an tidy up my craft room at the same time, I am looking forward to it 😁😊

[@czdesign]

Sending love to you… hard to lose a parent.

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Girl, you are so right, there are so many things hiding in drawers and containers. You know what they say, “out of sight out of mind.” I love that embossing folder.

[@rebeccah1635]

Yep, there is an awful lot of dreamy, sparkly goodness in those two cards! Lovely!

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

I literally have bought things twice because I couldn’t find the first one. Beautiful cards.

[@pennefreeman1053]

You could be an announcer at Bowling for Dollars…or a golf tournament! Love your ideas.

[@debbiehaney2467]

How exciting that you’re moving into a new studio! Every time I attempt to clean my craft room, I find things I had forgotten I had. My goal for 2023 is to use what I have and not buy more. But let’s be real…I know I’ll buy more stuff. Maybe I can greatly reduce what new stuff I bring into the craft room. 🤞🏻

[@aprilsodoski4696]

I’m totally guilty of this, more like having so much that I can’t find some things I KNOW I own!

[@susanjohnson318]

I've been thinking this for a while. You should do a die of "hot mess" & stamps or sentiment strips with it, like "I'm such a" , "sorry life is such a ... for you", "It may seem like a ...right now, but it will get better", "I may be a . . . but I am always here for you" etc. Hey, you pulled off a die of "oh crap!" (which I have). You can do anything!!

[@shortiewright4159]

WOW!!! Beautiful cards, Cathy! I would have to say my favorite is the lavender one. The bling matches just beautifully.💜

[@dianahults3059]

WOW! I love these two cards. Two for one is great. I'll need to get my Zigs out!! Another winner!

[@barbrule4142]

Kathy I have to tell you…when you started with your colors I thought that looked like a hot mess…. But they absolutely turned out gorgeous! Wow! Beautiful cards.

[@christabeard5128]

These are absolutely elegant and beautiful. Love the snowflakes.

[@zenawest9655]

I love it with the white ❄️ snow flake on top beautiful really makes it look so awesome 👌 👏

[@dorasanchez5075]

Cathy I love these cards. They're elegant and have my favorite colors, pastels. 😊

[@juliegonya6236]

Okay the one with the color behind the snowflake is gorgeous, it just may be the way I'll make my cards this year. The other one is beautiful too, but the color swatch one is my favorite! Thanks Cathy!

[@sheilastyrebriere]

Beautiful cards Cathy, so happy for you that you have a new creative space 🎉, definitely on lots of our wish lists❤ Hope it brings you even more inspiration!!

[@gaylelazarus2394]

Oh Cathy, these turned out beautifully. The colors and embossing folder go together so perfect. Love them both 💙💜

[@mandyc7694]

I love that second one. So classy

[@kellybraille]

Oh Cathy these are lovely. What a joy to watch! 🤗💕

[@priscillabade614]

I was thinking rather than your heroic effort with the thin foam strips for the pieces at the snowflake center, you could put a single foam piece under the center (touching the points of all of the diamonds) and cover it with a gem or with your sentiment. But your cards are beautiful!

[@vickidonnelly543]

So sorry I missed this! I have so many hidden supplies! My husband made me go fishing. So had to miss this. He owes me.

[@Rebeccacell]

You could have used the purple cardstock from which you cut the sentiments!

[@727Lizbeth]

Really loved your tutorial Cathy (Do miss the "Craft/Dining room," but so happy and excited to see the unveiling of the new studio🥰🤗 Elizabeth💞

[@czdesign]

WOW again! Elizabeth!!! you are far to generous! thank you thank you!

[@727Lizbeth]

@@czdesign It truly is my pleasure. So happy for your new creative space. Can hardly wait to see what's coming next.🥰🤗

[@727Lizbeth]

@@czdesign I will never forget your willingness to share your stamps with me. I am loving the Stamptember stamps you gifted me. Sending hugs & wishing you lots of joy in your new craftroom💞💕💝

[@dawnyoung9231]

Live it when you, the expert, make little mistakes; it takes away my guilt

[@czdesign]

we all make mistakes! it's part of the fun!

[@kimgrimes632]

Beautiful! Love the embossing folder and the dies.

[@stamperssecret5379]

Thank you for showing my wares.

[@czdesign]

Any time!

[@stamperssecret5379]

The pink and blue turned out so symmetrically. Is that the right word? I never know with that one. Lol

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love both cards. I have those same brush pens, some that haven't even been unwrapped. I really should pull them out too. Thanks for reminding us to check out our stash.

[@kairoqueenes5091]

Cathy! These cards are beautiful! I love finding things in my stash that I forget about it’s like Christmas! 🎉❤

[@bonniechesbrough5594]

I have used the SSS greeting stamp set on all of my christmas cards this year ( 60 cards)

[@sarahelizabeth6342]

Love love love!!!!

[@Love2Create62]

I love these cards so much, they are definitely in my top five favorites of yours! I've been making cards for about two years and am always learning. I have a design question for you. I don't usually put my sentiments on my focal points i.e snowflakes, a bouquet of flowers, etc. I usually put them in the open areas of the panel. For example on the first card, I probably would put my sentiments on the top left corner. Should I be putting sentiments on top of my elements and leaving more white space on the panel? I want it to be pleasing to the eye. 😊 Thank you!

[@camilleanzelmo6275]

I was going to ask that same question. A lot if designers put the saying on top if the design and not in white space. Good question.

[@dvmc99]

I didn't think I would like it at first but I love it now. Thanks for sharing.

[@727Lizbeth]

Cathy, loved this tutorial so much ! I so enjoyed, the "CPR" comment . . . Cause if you were doing CPR you would have to sing the "Staying Alive" tune🥰😅

[@patriciatankersley625]

Great techniques! Thanks for sharing! Love your cards!

[@jennifermitchell9282]

Love these cards! You’ve inspired me to clean my craft space, hopefully I find something as fun! #holidayboop you crack me up 😂

[@lisadorough7114]

These are gorgeous! So pretty.

[@wendydennee5648]

Cathy, I told myself that I wasn’t going to buy anymore Christmas card making stuff, but after watching this video, I got so inspired and excited about those cards that I’m going to but the Christmas Blessing stamp and die set! 😊😂

[@pennefreeman1053]

Gorgeous cards.

[@susanbaker6409]

That's the lovely thing about moving - there is always something 'new' to uncover! Loved your demos today. Both cards are stunning. x

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@bucsr.6106]

I have some markers that stopped being as precise as I would like. I never thought about PAINTING with the ink DUH! Thank you for giving new life to our forgotten supplies! 🎨

[@janetsanii4576]

Beautiful cards!

[@janinebryan8703]

That star turned out beautifully the colours are perfect

[@TheKlh54]

Ok…living in Houston Texas, I have never felt the need to buy or have snowflakes in any form for my card making…but darn it!, Cathy, now i want that snowflake embossing folder, dies and to pull out my Zigs and copy you!!! So so pretty!!

[@czdesign]

it is kind of a fun set!

[@melissasweetman8389]

Congrats on the new craft room! 🤩 The dining room has entertained us for a long time….It will be missed. But excited to see what comes from the new space😃

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@patticallihan8515]

Cathy, I am in the middle of sorting out and organizing my craft room space. I have also forgotten things I have bought, I have 2 of some stamps and dies. Anyway I love your cards. Simple, clean, quick. Look so pretty. I look forward to seeing your craft room when it’s finished . Big hug 🤗. Have a wonderful Day. 🎅🎄🛷❄️☃️⛸❤️

[@heidisilinsky1821]

These are fabulous! And you were really on a wonderful creative roll there showing us other ways we could use this! I really love these, Cathy! Great job! Thank you for sharing!

[@patriciawilson4135]

Beautiful cards and what a great snowflake from this design. Love it and love the cards. Thanks.

[@carissawiley]

These are beautiful!

[@czdesign]

Thanks, friend!

[@zenawest9655]

I love them...💜

[@dizzinese]

Oh girl! I only wish I could afford a full set of zig markers! I am still using my zig markers from 2001!!!!! Everyone of them still works and I cannot say the same for the stampin up markers I got from my friend that she bought the same time I got my zigs! So impressive!!!!!!

[@yteldee]

So pretty!

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Outstanding cards in with all my favourite colours. Nicely done, another neat video in the bag. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work and thanks for all the boops, you're a star! 🌟

[@4ke_1978]

Oooohhh what a beautiful color scene 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Lovely idea, the one with the white panel, will try this one too 😊 thank you for sharing all your great work and ideas with us Cathy ❤

[@dpglasser]

I missed your live, I’m so bummed! I will watch replay

[@ninasmith5619]

They’re completely stunning. Beautiful. I absolutely love the dreamy dreamy colours . I love how you talk to yourself, and how you don’t peel the release paper off, glad it’s not just me!! So exciting you’re in your studio, but I am gonna miss the craft slash dining room though! ❤

[@jo-annstoneham1813]

Thank you for sharing your time with everyone. Your card is lovely and yet so simple and beautiful. From Canada 🇨🇦

[@fosmert877]

I will check out my drawers and see what I have not been using for a long time. I also like the one with the color behind the snowflake. Great ideas for holiday cards!

[@dizzinese]

I never think about that spray glue until I see you! I really should try it for those really thin die cuts!!!

[@chantalle7340]

Stunning 🤩

[@heatherknobbs2188]

Gorgeous Cathy. I love these cards. You are a talented lady!

[@jerryclark7872]

Very pretty cards, Cathy! I need to re-organize, as I have items I know I have but can't find. LOL

[@lauralaforest309]

I love your style!

[@dizzinese]

I like the new box with dividers. I made my own as well in black n white polka dots since my studio is black and white. But I just use SSS temporary tape runner to adhere a label on the outside so that if I ever need to change it or take it out, I don’t have to redo the whole laminated sheet. They peel off pretty well when needed but stay well too. I’m looking for a specific box or metal mesh basket for card panels in the making. So all the gel press panels and cards I started and changed direction. Some are card panel A2 and some half sheets. All meant to grab and add to later and turn into a card.

[@moeboe2]

I’ve that you have a new craft space. Cards are great❄️

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@christineh3866]

Beautiful cards. I also like the one on the left…just a tiny bit more😊

[@gigigirl6898]

Hi Cathy, love the way your design studio is coming together

[@czdesign]

Me too!

[@artcreationsbydar]

Cathy, I found the same zig markers about a month ago from when I was scrapbooking , years ago! I thought no way would they still work ! Every one of them were still great! I was really surprised!

[@gailgreif4417]

Can’t wait to see your office. You sound like you’re whispering in there! Is somebody sleeping? 😂. Love your work!

[@czdesign]

Truth be told, my son is in my daughter's old room… he sleeps there now.

[@yvonnesmith6114]

Love this!!

[@norinemueller4588]

so pretty

[@patti-sally9201]

Thank you so much Cathy, I love all your special and inspiring Videos 🎅😍

[@ebriggs3498]

Go Dog, Go! 😅 Love your “flattening book”! These are pretty and I think I can do this! TFS! ❤

[@janinebryan8703]

I know I have heaps of stuff I haven’t come across for ages coloured pencils fine liners wink of Stella - just heaps I gave my daughter my zigs because I haven’t used them in about 4 years maybe longer

[@DCANOTXZ]

Great cards, I’m guilty of purchasing a lot of crafts and put them away, and totally forget about it, into I’m in the move to organize my working area and will find a lot of things that I didn’t know I have.

[@barbw8972]

So much dimension and colour! I love these cards.

[@rheaollett7806]

I absolutely love these cards. Such beautiful colours and still cas

[@cherylthompson3882]

Your card is very pretty but I wasn’t clear about why you would emboss the snowflake and then cover up the embossing? What am I missing?

[@czdesign]

You know, who can say? Lol! I just go with the flow.

[@annaelycm]

Beautiful! I too have things stashed away that I haven't used it years. In the process of finishing the drywall in my studio...so hopefully soon I'll be able to get to some of the them. I've got a few years of cardmaking on you though as I've been demoing at rubberstamp conventions and making for over 20 years.

[@PSPCindy]

Beautiful cards Cathy ! So excited for you moving upstairs. More room. Yay :)

[@karenaustin5307]

LOL “you haven’t painted much lately”…. I haven’t painted ever with markers or ink pads or watercolors! Oh I take that back. I did a wash once! Ever! I have so much I want to do just no time. I thought that was just funny.
