Hi, Cathy! I absolutely love this beautiful snowflake card! Nicely done! Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful day!

[@yellagnome3947]

Oh so beautiful Cathy and glad we got the clucking and booping.

[@Taitcreates639]

Oh Cathy, this is so dreamy, I collect snow flake dies. Your talent with color choosing is like no other. Way to go!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Bonnie how you doing

[@christinecox9625]

Cathy! Just love u and ur style!! I am so happy to see and hear all ur little faux pas in this video!!! Gorgeous card, thanks for bringing us ur goodness! Blessed crafting! 😊

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello beautiful

[@christinelowery2415]

Using the stamp cleaner is awesome. And if you use scented cleaner. Your card can smell like the holidays !!!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Thank you Kathy my friend. I am having a really rough day with IBS flaring up BIG time. Watching 👀you has not only cheered me up but also inspired me.

[@czdesign]

Feel better!

[@kjdryzl]

Oh good, the Brush-ex worked when you needed it! You can go over it more than once if you need to. Some colors are more stubborn than others. I like the trick with the cleaning fluid too. I use that from time to time myself. That is a beautiful stamp set and love the colors you used. Sequin placement is a definite challenge and you always do such a nice job with it. I like a smallish scatter or cluster like you do. It’s the perfect amount!

[@czdesign]

Yes, Kim! I grabbed it and it worked! YOU ROCK!

[@christinelowery2415]

I put a paper towel over my tool cleaner too😁. It’s a great way to get the brush cleaned

[@kristinahamada-wong5745]

Thank you for reminding me that, "It's just paper." This has helped me get over the fear of making a mistake!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello kristina how you doing my friend

[@susanjohnson318]

One reason I don't sew!!

[@sallyyotz3995]

Gina Kay Designs Sparkle and Shine set is still available on her website. It is very similar.

[@kittenscozycreationswithka6218]

Thanks, I never thought of using a clothespin when embossing.

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cathylaycock5598]

The brushX is available in different brands that work well

[@brendaheins3191]

I missed out on Gina K’s beautiful snowflake set last year, so I was ready and waiting to get this one. Can’t wait to get it. I LOVE snowflakes! It’s fun to see what everyone makes with them. I love how simple and elegant your snowflake turned out.

[@lissetsanchez5316]

I love this card. My favorite color is purple! What beautiful card did that blend make. Thank you my dear! ☺️

[@kimphillips2542]

A very beautiful card. I was wondering, could you use the part left over and make a shaker card?

[@czdesign]

Yes you can!

[@JillLalande]

I got this set and loved it, but now I’m wishing that I got the dies! I have cut back on buying dies because I don’t use them as much as I expect to however it looks like I would have used this one. Lesson learnt!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I really liked the card with the blended inks of green and purple, before using the dies to cut them out . that would have been a great card.

[@dianeoneil9563]

Thanks for the purple 💜, I'm definitely one of the purple people!

[@K.Taylor56]

Gina’s designs for Stamptember are one of the reasons I’ve been ordering at midnight this year. I missed out on hers last year as well as a few others I had wanted. This card is really gorgeous Cathy!!.

[@martahoshell7934]

You and I doing the same! Tired or not ordering at midnight and checking in the morning to make sure I don’t get OUT OF STOCK message! Have a beautiful day!

[@cassiescreations9828]

I do the same thing! Funny how desperate we are! You'd think that they would make more since many more customers want it than the number supplied but I guess there is a set limit or perhaps it's a gamble. Of course, there will be other stamps offered a little later ... I think.

[@czdesign]

I know they ordered a ton but Gina's products are so popular it is really hard to guess how many more are going to be needed

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Kim how you doing my friend?

[@shirleypryor9397]

Yes, you did a good job with the stamping position. I appreciate you showing us this technique.

[@kathygroff4526]

Gorgeous all around! A beautiful snowflake set which you used so well, and gave us a bunch of tips along the way! I think I may try that background embossing sometime. TFS, Cathy! ❄️ 💌

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Kathy how you doing

[@marybaure8440]

I love Gina K stamps, but by the time I get home from work, they are sold out :( So frustrating time after time to not be able to get the new releases

[@czdesign]

Gina sells out during stampteber so fast. And I know that Simon ordered a ton of her sets but she is so popular

[@NightOwlMisfits]

So pretty! This is going to sound strange, but I really like it when you encounter a problem and you work through it on camera. It gives me encouragement to try and work through my own tricky mishaps and come out with solutions that don't involve throwing the whole thing away. :)

[@czdesign]

That is my hope! I used to make the cards before filming, so I knew they would turn out. Now? I just roll the dice and have fun while I do it!

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Very pretty card. Of course it is, your cards are always pretty. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@patriciawinslow1554]

I love this. This is classy. A beautiful card for someone special✨✨

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Patricia how you doing

[@joannfroman4976]

The snowflake card is beautiful. Could you keep it coming, CZ and GK? 👍

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Jo how you doing my friend?

[@lindavinson1273]

I love your booping. I have a horrible time. I end up with glue on me. Sequins glued to me! A hot mess. 😂. Great saves tonight, Cathy. Gorgeous card! 😘

[@karenmunson4401]

I love the background embossing, it looks so elegant. Thanks for sharing

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Karen how you doing

[@rheaollett7806]

Love this card Cathy. The subtle background makes the card. 😊

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Rhea how you doing

[@kathymcconnell6852]

Perfection! Classy and clean. Thanks for the heads up on the positive side of stained stamps. I usually get annoyed when I can’t get them perfectly clean. Now I’ll look at them differently 😍

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Kathy how you doing my friend?

[@laurarodick2177]

This is beautiful ! So they won’t bring them back in stock ? That makes me sad I just found out about stamptember.

[@czdesign]

They won't. It's how STAMPtember works but check out Gina's site! She has SO many wonderful designs!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Are you celebrating more than Stamptember? Balloons are tied to your table. I love this stamp set, it was a must buy.

[@czdesign]

They were for STAMPtember!

[@Sue-jn9sv]

Honey Bee sells the BrushEX pens.

[@katkards456]

Bought my set at 3 AM... and noticed when I got back on the computer at 9 AM it was already sold out! In September.... if you snooze, you lose!! Gorgeous card, Cathy. Choice of colors is stunning.

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Katherine how you doing?

[@andreagallucio7463]

Found brush ex on honey bee stamps!

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you! I just added the link!!!

[@justclaycrochet]

What a beautiful card and a lovely stamp set

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

So pretty. I have a different set from another company (I know hanging my head in shame) so might try something like this for an order I have. Lol crafty shedding pet but i can relate, i had really short hair until the pandemic but now it's shoulder length and it's getting everywhere. I wake up in the morning and it's in my mouth and the cat has her claws tangled in it.

[@zammymille]

Nice with that background. Need to try that!!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Gina made a beautiful stamp. But you made an absolutely stunning card. I love when you emboss the card and then colour it. These would also make beautiful ornaments for the tree if you used heavier card stock. Just a thought.

[@czdesign]

Oh they would!

[@karynscreativelife]

You can get brushex through honey bee stamps. I'm going to order one!! Thanks for the awesome tip!

[@bunnytoes7200]

Cathy my dear you are a master!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

I love the color combo. Beautiful card!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Teresa how you doing

[@cherylmccann6641]

Love it! The tone-on-tone background really made the card work.

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Cheryl how you doing

[@darcygreen7938]

Lovable crafty pet. Lol!! The blue & purple blend turned out beautiful. I was watching on my phone and my cat kept pouncing on it. She saw your hands moving. And I had just nabbed the set when i saw your video come up.

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello beautiful how you doing?

[@dpglasser]

Cathy, Altenew make an eraser type thing, to get the stuff off of new stamps from the manufacturer. It’s kind of amazing. Just an FYI! Your card is gorgeous, as always.

[@czdesign]

Ohhhh. I think I have heard of that. Will look into it!

[@lindaavinou6486]

Wow, how beautiful. You are an inspiration and never cease to amaze me with the cards you make. I have just checked and you can also get the brushEX in the UK - £11.99 or thereabouts.

[@czdesign]

Wonderful!

[@wendybaryl6867]

So very pretty thank you for sharing

[@deeannafreshwaters3282]

Ok can you spray the stamp and lay it on the embossed area...lift...wipe... clean?

[@czdesign]

Never thought of that. Hmmm.

[@patriciadelany6699]

Thank you for the tips on using cleaner on a foam tool, Brush X, and staining the stamp greeting on purpose! Love the colors that you chose for this one. The stamp set and dies are already sold out! (I did request to be notified when back in stock.)

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Patricia how you doing my friend?

[@tammymoore5392]

Beautiful card. I missed out on this beautiful stamp set, boy did it sell out fast, but will find something else that will work. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Tammy how you doing

[@expressivepaper]

Gorgeous!!! My favorite colors!!!

[@pamlitzinger1555]

[@kellyjoskreations]

HoneyBee Stamps sells it😻

[@kjdryzl]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..indeed! I was just checking those out at SSS.

[@geminigirl68]

Love Gina K's snowflakes! That Brushes means business! Lol Catherine Poolers black midnight ink is notorious for staining stamps. It comes in a mini too and is a wonderful black ink!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Absolutely gorgeous card!! I love the colors, & the tone on tone snowflakes on the card panel. And that stamp set is so beautiful- Gina is always my fav at Stamptember. Beautiful card!!

[@czdesign]

She always nails it!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Jennifer how you doing

[@judyhosch672]

This is absolutely outstanding ! WOW

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

I love this card and I have some nice snowflake stamps and die , so I could give something like that a go myself. Thank you Cathy.

[@danielleklaiss4336]

Gorgeous card, Cathy!!

[@jo-annelowe8215]

Hi Cathy. When I saw the masking tape lifting I yelled at the TV the tape has lifted, no, no, the tapes lifted but you didn't hear me. :) ;)😁😉😃

[@czdesign]

Haha! I didn't even notice until it was TOO late! haha!

[@debbieklapmeier2505]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

book. Hair is almost down to my waist. I have not had a haircut in almost two years. I understand the shedding

[@czdesign]

Yep. So much hair everywhere! lol

[@stephanieloughead4479]

I had to tell you that I was able to get this stamp and die set. I look forward to trying what you did!!!

[@czdesign]

Oh lucky you! They sold FAST!

[@lindalincks6187]

Love the clear embossing panel!! Fell asleep and missed this set!! 😭😭😭 your card is beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us! 😊

[@mariehoney31]

This is so, so pretty!!

[@leeminer1939]

Lovely, soft card and great fix-it tips. Don't ya just love a multi-purpose tool?!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Lee how you doing

[@craftsandcoffeelove]

This is gorgeous!!!!! Love it!!!!

[@Jenifer.flute20]

When you're doing the emboss resist technique, are you embossing with just a white or clear powder? Does the ink not stick to embossed powder regardless of the color/brand?

[@czdesign]

I do both. Both will work and any brand too!

[@kays-gee9018]

Absolutely beautiful and right up my purple alley 💜

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello how you doing today my friend?

[@mmoorecaterer2cats458]

TFS! Gorgeous!! Absolutely lovely, the background embossing is way genius! Thank you!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@leetayon8791]

That is just stunning!!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Beautiful card. Love the stamp set. Thank you.

[@Emilie19614]

This is sold out already. I think I have a peper wishes one I can substitute

[@elizabethdemers8629]

This is GORGEOUS!

[@trishcox783]

Cathy, I have some of the fine white embossing powder but I really dont' know when it is advantageous to use it. Can you give me the 411?

[@czdesign]

It works really well for basic embossed resist but it also works good for just white on any color of card stock

[@margaretalbrecht4429]

This card is gorgeous!!!!!

[@KathyWolf]

Beautiful card. I just found the Brush Ex pens on Honeybee's website.

[@czdesign]

Thank you! Added the link!

[@PumpkinBecki]

Cathy!! That's so chic!! I think we get carried away with colour and pattern because there's so many beautiful products out there, but the white embossing on the white cardstock is perfection 👌🥰xx

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello beautiful how you doing?

[@Jan-dm7wj]

Beautiful card! Thanks Cathy.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@kimberlydeamer208]

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Kimberly how you doing my friend?

[@PaperhugsbyKim]

CRYING!!! The only one I wanted was from GINA K! Whaaaaa😭😭😭

[@czdesign]

They sold out before I even woke up this morning. And I woke up at 5 AM central time.

[@PaperhugsbyKim]

@@czdesign gotta stay up until midnight! That's what I would have done had I known her release date. I meant to ask on her Facebook page and forgot to do that too!🤣 maybe I need some Gino's Biloba instead if another stamp and die set!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Beautiful! Your background made me think of a wedding card, because of the soft, lacy-looking design. Did you see Kristina Werner’s recent video? So many missed opportunities for booping! 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️

[@czdesign]

Not yet! Must check it out! lol ! I'll tell her to start booping!

[@Lfischer5481]

Beautiful card! I was embossing a sentiment this morning and had the same issue. It’s hard to get it lined up correctly. You were the voice in my head telling me to not press so hard when stamping and grab my clothes pin. 🤣🤣🤣

[@kjdryzl]

It took me awhile to remember the clothes pin.

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Linda how you doing my friend?

[@murnan11]

Very pretty!!!

[@leeconradi8918]

Hi Cathy: I keep seeing you all using this new thin purple tape (kind of like washi) and I have been following you for a LONG time - what is this tape? Many thanks, Lee :-)

[@czdesign]

Hey Lee, it's called Easy See tape! It's linked in the description below the video. But washi works fine too!!!

[@janicerepass6996]

This card is stunning. Going the extra mile with the clear embossing on your panel was really worth the effort!!

[@richardbarret2626]

Hello Janice how you doing my friend?

[@robbieglynn2855]

So stunning 💗💗💗💗

[@czdesign]

Thank you!!

[@SoulfulXprssion]

Love the stamp & die but what you did to make this card! Gorgeous

Do you know if there are any UK stockists please 😍❤️

[@czdesign]

There are none of this left. And this is exclusive to Simon Says Stamp. : ) But you can also check Gina K Designs and her shop!

[@meganiello6336]

Absolutely stunning!!
