[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Thanks for sharing! How awesome, and turns out, you make beautiful cards!

[@lauragray4052]

I love both the stenciled images. Stamping the outline made them look so different and I love both versions.

[@michellesteacy1177]

This was great. I struggle with lining up the stencils and have been staying away from using them. Now I'm going to give it a try! Beautiful card & great video!

[@debbierheault6552]

[@jodavis5400]

Love this! Reminds me of a vintage card from the 50’s

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Oh, I have this layering set. I need to try this hack.

[@carolluke4898]

Thank you to both Simon and you, Cathy - what a genius way to be sure layering stencils are lined up perfectly as we create! I struggled yesterday with a new Pink Fresh stencil set purchased recently and now, after seeing this video, I am sure my layering and inking will go much smoother! Thank you again!

[@terrib.6853]

Thank you, Cathy! Gorgeous card! Love how your O & J nail polish matched your flower ink choice. What a great hack, and Simon is indeed going places.

[@raceandrodeo]

I noticed that, too! Pretty nail color

[@melaniehouston6633]

Very pretty! Thanks you!

[@lindabentley86]

Great idea from Simon. So happy you shared it with us Cathy. Thank you.

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ljatwood1972]

So pretty! It's amazing how different the one with the outline looks. It's like 2 different stencils/stamps!

[@Bedalouwho]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love Pink Fresh layering stencils.

[@kathleenfink207]

Love it and the wonderful tip about using the misti. Loving the coordinating nails as well!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@dianec3279]

Stunning! Amazing hack! Simon rocks! Love the boop.. would totally buy a T-shirt!

I love layering stencils! Thanks for passing along this smart hack! Your card is gorgeous.

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@lisavashaw6380]

I love this hack! I have some layering stencils that I haven't use in several years; because I found them hard to get lined up. Now I will go play. Thank you for sharing.

[@soccerjulie46]

Beautiful card and great hack. That set is so nice. I love the outline on the flowers, too.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@vebarnid]

Beautiful and such a great hack I can’t sit to try it

[@patmccleary2495]

I'm waiting for this stencil set and now I see I need the die as well, and maybe the stamp set too.This card is stunning!

[@awpistol]

Omg brilliant!!!

[@robinbrothen2305]

I love Simon's hack!! Beautiful card and I love the fact that it has the die and stamp to go with it!!

[@bjuracek21]

Very cool Cathy!!! Thanks for testing out Simon's hack... I just received some layering stencils and I'm ready to try them out now!!! And Cathy, as always, you just make me chuckle with your sense of humor!!! I would give you a 9.5 too!!!!! 😊

[@carolynr.4227]

Brilliant idea using the Misti to stencil.

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Cathy, it was good to see how these layering stencils work. Great results and awesome card. Thanks so much. 😊

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@jac4YouTube]

beautiful, great job

[@online22much]

Excellent hack!!! Thank you for sharing your talent...and Simon, as well. Boop, Boop.

[@czdesign]

Boop!

[@tami1796]

Thank you for sharing your videos

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Fantastic card. Thank you for the great tips for stencils.

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@christineatkinson1425]

Wow that’s set of stencils is gorgeous

[@sherrysawyer1255]

Love this!

[@brendajohnson5067]

I was using his hack but then remembered I had the Make Art board and I started using it. Sure makes layering so much easier.

[@floradiamonds]

I love stencilling, but hadn't thought about using my stamping platform before, so thank you for that. Also, using the magnets for stamping inside the card. So simple, and effective. I suppose it's to do with working in a very small space, and putting things out of the way before moving to the next step. I will be using my platform more sensibly now. 😃

[@toodiefroodie]

I cracked up at the simplicity of this because OF COURSE I never would have thought of that! How simply genius! Thank you to Simon for this hack! Cathy, I LOVE LOVE LOVE what you did here!!!!!

[@suehanks946]

That is gorgeous xx

[@mariadebie9372]

That is an amazing idea share! Brilliant. The card turned out beautiful. ♥️

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@wendyrobbins6339]

Beautiful card, love the hack!

[@carolcarbino5036]

What an awesome hack, thanks for sharing

[@czdesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@christinecrow1410]

You did a great job on that card. I'm so new at card making. Trying to get stamps, dies, and stencils. Waiting on my Memento machine. I really enjoy watching you. Thank you.

[@charlottereid694]

Beautiful card. Great hack. I have also struggled with alignment of layering stencils so I will be using this a lot. Thanks Cathy

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@lindazabel5925]

Perfect hack!

[@Momof31996]

great tip! Card is awesome. As always love the mani. love those summer colors.

[@czdesign]

Glad you like them!

[@j9cardstock354]

I used the Misti for a stencil and how fabulous! Yay for Simon’s insight! Jeannine

[@kathygroff4526]

A fantastic floral stencil, so many colors would work for the flowers! This is another great use for a MISTI!!! Gotta say, I’m not a free-range stamper except on the rare occasion, but blending brushes are magic. TFSharing this card today, quick, and lovely! And pretty nails, too, CZ. 💌

[@paulineabeysekera7711]

Learning from Cathy and Simon 😁 Fun video! Had the reminder set for the premier but darn work distracted me from what really matters. And your nails are on point!

[@czdesign]

Thank you!

[@carolestrawn8755]

I love this hack. I tried it and it really works and makes layered stencils so much easier to use. It also made me wonder why it never dawned on me before to do this. LOL. Love your videos.

[@debbycanady3898]

NOW I think I can do this. I was having a little trouble. Thanks!

[@kathycamasso6672]

Wow, what an amazing set of products! Somehow, they all hopped into my cart; I can't wait to make beautiful cards with these stencils!

[@czdesign]

Have fun!

[@nurseratchet8566]

Fab card 💙 My MISTI keeps making cards so much easier to create! Great hack Simon!

[@diannerippon7349]

Lovely job

[@pattyeifert4355]

Love those colors from Pink Fresh! So beautiful Cathy. Love where you put the sentiment using black. Too funny about the G getting cut off...I would never have caught that either!

[@patticallihan8515]

Genius Cathy. Thank you for sharing Simon’s idea it’s a game changer . Simon is young but very talented and going to go places indeed. . I love it. Love your card also. The misti is amazing I own two .. T.G.I.F.🥰🤗❤️🌺🌸🌼

[@ruth6511]

Have been doing this since I got my PFT stencils. So easy and eliminates any errors. Glad you are sharing!

[@czdesign]

Right? And saves tape!

[@PaperToPetals]

Love it! Super idea! What is this magic? So pretty! I find that the layering stencils help me with my coloring skills too. Thank you for doing the inside of the card. I’m not good at stamping either but I keep practicing.

[@carnationrose21]

Your “free range” turned out great! I really like how the flowers turned out…with and without stamping the outline of the flowers!

[@eleanorparsons2781]

9o

[@liznixon9066]

So beautiful . Such a good trick.

[@czdesign]

It really is!

[@rachelh.1988]

[@czdesign]

😊 thank you

[@stamperssecret5379]

The card is beautiful, Cathy.

[@patriciabethke4142]

Great tip for lining up stencils, thanks Cathy and Simon. I liked both versions of the stencil (stamped outline and no outline) Thanks for sharing this card. I'm really liking stencils.

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carolineking1496]

loved how you showed us the layers on this stencil....isn't wonderful that we can learn from others and makes it easier for us to stamp and stencil

[@czdesign]

Yes!

[@wendywatt1285]

Beautiful card and a really great hack! I definitely will be using that hack and maybe I need that Stamp, die and stencils lol 💙💙

[@michelenarramore3325]

I bought one of your books 20?! Years ago. Still one of my faves. So cool to stumble onto your channel!

[@czdesign]

SO many years ago, right?
