It's so nice to be reminded that CAS cards can be beautiful & striking! Love them!

[@barbarahill6365]

Such smart stencils. It leaves that white border-instant success! Thank you Cathy for another awesome design.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

Also loving morning coffee, cards and Cathy! You need to get the small magnet board with the fantastic magnets - I have found that by opening the card and using the magnets, there is no need for tape ! Just put a piece of Post-It tape on the fold and wash-la……no need for tape and it holds perfectly and when moving the magnets to continue blending, nothing moves. Before getting this magnetic board I used your fantastic idea of taping the inside so the card lays flat - with this board there is no need anymore to use tape. Hope you will be getting this board soon and play around with it! Received mine for Christmas from my “card mentor” and I’m so grateful I have it! Thank you so very much for your videos - you are such an inspiration to me and others! Hugs and Happy Spring to you!

Love hearing the BOOP in my AirPods 😍. Love these clean designs and word dies. Mini slimlines are so fun. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us 😱🙏

[@janicerepass6996]

The dots remind me of those candy dots, and the stripes remind me of the fruit flavored striped gum from when I was a kid. Am I hungry? Whatever. The real point is that these cards are absolutely adorable!! And I enjoy your attitude as you craft! Thank you for making it fun!

[@czdesign]

Ohhh, fruit stripe gum. I remember it!

[@claireg5651]

Home shopping with Cathy Z, I just love all your products. That die is already in my cart. Thanks for the Scor Buddy hack, I definitely would've scored it at the wrong size. Can't wait for my envelopes to arrive, this is such a fun size.

[@jodieb4970]

Mini slimline cards are fun to make. I was thinking you could flip over that diagonal stripe stencil and make a plaid.

[@czdesign]

Fun idea

Well I jumped on the bandwagon to try a mini slimline Christmas cards this year. I like the fact your card is 6 1/4” long instead of 6”. The only difference I decided to do is make my card 6 1/4” x 3 1/2”. I love your card. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing Cathy. 👍😁💕

Have fun!

[@czdesign]

Well I can remember them, so that dates me too!

[@jjellii1228]

Cute cards, love the effect of the simple stencil patterns! Maybe next time do a reverse rainbow and start with Purple! 😊Simon Says Stamps also has a mini slimline envelope die!

[@beckyluvstoscrapnsew]

Yep , must have purple to make it rainbow, otherwise it’s just a blend of colours imo

[@CouzCat]

Love your cheeky sentiments & the cards. A little dab will do was the slogan for Dippity Do hair gel. We’re both dating our selves 😁

Ohhhh. So not Brylcream! lol!

[@nicollevisser8141]

Nice cards Cathy! I made such a background last week with my gelliplate. So if you up for some rolling you can use that too when making such a base. And I want to say i can't wait till 25 june.. ! Happy to meet you at least virtually!

Pixie spray is great when you work with pastes and mousses. I love the look, not big on the mess though.

I was making a white on white card for Mother's Day yesterday and found myself doing the "boop" too while adhering my sequins! So, yes, I copied you and it's pretty nice! (your Burnsville MN buddy)

[@czdesign]

Love that!

[@kjdryzl]

I just noticed you use the rounded side of the bone folder to make your crease. I’m thinking I use the flat side on the same end. Hmmmm....now I have to think about that. Lol! I have no idea if there’s a wrong way, but it seems like if it’s a USABLE area, not wrong to use it. Yep, gonna have to try it and see if it’s any different for me.

[@czdesign]

I just hold it however it doesn't hurt my wrists! lol!

[@marjolijnedotinga8682]

Great cards (as always 😉) and also a great video again. I enjoy your video's everytime and learn a lot about cardmaking. I was wondering how you choose the right ink for your project? So many brands and so many kinds of ink 😅

[@czdesign]

I mix it up honestly? And because i work in the craft industry, I need to try out all kinds of brands!

[@marjolijnedotinga8682]

@@czdesign Thank you for taking the time to answer!

[@kjdryzl]

Are the larger SSS pads also hybrid inks like the cubes? If so, I’m thinking you could go over the stencil with one of the glitter pens, like Wink of Stella or any one you have in your stash to elevate it to a translucent glitter background on cards you want that effect on. Or maybe you only want glitter effect on part of the dots, or part of the stripes. Either way, I bet it would be cute on the right card. I ordered those stencils and waiting for them to arrive. I like the mini slim size.

[@czdesign]

Love that idea! I think the big pads are just dye ink!

[@sherrifredrickson2509]

So cute!! When using the spray adhesive, how do you keep your fingers from getting all sticky?!

Because i pick up the die cuts with my tweezers!

[@janicerepass6996]

P.S. Love that sentiment for the Mother's Day card! Also, does that VersaFine Clair black ink work with Copic markers?

[@czdesign]

I am not sure. I don't think it's a Copic friendly ink. I know Momento Tuxedo Black is, and the Amalgam from Gina K, but don't know about the Versafine clair!

[@helenweber8029]

I love the cards, as usual. I don't believe you will need extra postage, remember when people used to write letters? That's the size envelopes these will fit in. I could be wrong but, I'm pretty sure.

[@stamperssecret5379]

So, is that little pencil mark you did on your ScorBuddy a boop?

[@czdesign]

I should have!!!

[@franstein323]

[@pattycairns678]

My postmaster says one does NOT need to add additional postage for the mini slimline envelopes

Oh good to know! I wasn't sure because of the odd size!

[@candyclouston1412]

Companies each set their own standard for slimline and mini slimline cards. It's a shame there isn't an industry standard. My preference is 6" x 3.5" for the mini slimline because so many paper/cardstock pads are 6" x 6", but I don't see that preventing me from using these stencils for that size.

[@craftyana6503]

Cute cards! I make my mini slimlines are 6”x3.5”. So much easier to manage. My fraction math sucks. 😅

[@czdesign]

ME TOO!

[@mariahunt7767]

Love the mini size, and REALLY love the “Happy Everything” sentiment die (so versatile). But no purple AND blue this time?!!...all kidding aside, why do you do two shades of red/pink and then don’t have room for purple? Could you explain the reasoning behind your thinking? Just curious. 🤗

[@czdesign]

I think when I making a rainbow that I prefer to stay on the warmer side to keep it simpler. I have nothing against purple I promise!

[@mariahunt7767]

@@czdesign thank you for replying. I was just curious why 2 reds? But that makes perfect sense, warm colors are definitely more inviting in card making. Your projects are always beautiful and simple to follow.
