[@Cheryl_Chez_Boutique_crafts]

Love the vellum band, subtle and can see the colours through xx but card sum like fab xx

[@TD-bu9wv]

You're always so full of joy. I just love watching your videos and your creativity is so great.

[@michellehackett8502]

The last one is totally my favorite, then the first one. Of course they are all gorgeous. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elenabaker1914]

The page with all the little greetings could also be used as a brick wall element...

[@kimberlyhansen4096]

You're so much fun to watch! I talk to you the whole time your asking questions. Sometimes you listen to me. Lol your cards turned out beautiful! ❤

[@czdesign]

😊 thank you

[@marjbiehler7628]

I agree, the stars on the last one really make the card.

[@CatherinesCreations7]

I love the green/blue/purple that you blended on your fifth card, such pretty colors! All the cards are very lovely too. Thank you, Cathy!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

You just happy. I love your cards and I love your vibe!

[@jennkearney]

That last card though…😍😍😍

[@dorasanchez5075]

Pretty and quick cards. Thank you, Cathy. 😊

[@jobethdavis9720]

They are all nice but, I love the last one BEST!

[@vickiwest4149]

Oh gosh ~ you CRACK me up when you look off to the front left/right ~ as if there's a studio audience or camera crew! 🤣

[@czdesign]

And it's literally just me. hahahah

[@tammihaas4299]

Hi Cathy. It's Amy Rysaavi who uses the 2 metal shims. Cute cards so far, I'm still watching.

[@lynnehill8635]

Watching this later, thanks for the blessing that your sermon was for me today, Peter.

[@czdesign]

You are very welcome

[@lynnehill8635]

@czdesign - I am so laughing.....I didn't get to be at church today or watch the service online until quite late, but I didn't realise KZbin had put your video up already when I decided to make this comment. 😅😅. Bless you Cathy.

[@sandywinkowski4557]

Hi Cathy. Cards were great. Simple is good sometime. The multi color spiral, I would have matted in black and bubble cut the sentiment so more of the color would have shown, but that’s just me. Have a great week. Hugs💕

[@judibradshaw1948]

FABULOUS CARDS!

[@lisagardner1644]

Wow! I love all these cards! They are so simple but so beautiful! Another great video! Big hugs from Texas🤗

[@sarahdear8028]

Cathy just found your videos, love them 😊 especially when you “boop” when you put pearl and sequins down! Cute! Love all these cards thanks for the inspiration

[@czdesign]

Welcome!!

[@dianezalusky2944]

Catching you on replay again. I love the microphone idea.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I never would have thought to put Lilac with Tidepool but it turned out gorgeous! Love your cards - sorry I missed the Live Chat. yes, the 5th card is a little funky and that is why it's my favorite today!

[@Virgina76]

Love each one I like the simplicity.

[@czdesign]

Thank you! 😊

[@briannamorton5524]

Great cards! My favorite are 4 and 6- the graphic nature of them is so cool and embossing on patterned paper is awesome, I forget about that technique when using embossing folders. Thanks for the reminder! The card maker that uses 2 metal shims when embossing is Amy R. From Prairie Paper and Ink. There may be more people that do that but I know Amy does.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@LisaVornhagen]

Every one of those cards are so great! Each one has its own unique and wonderful qualities.

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

All of these are super gorgeous Cathy! LOVED that last pink one, the graphic style and simple gold stamping really appealed, but they're all fabulous xoxo

[@Songbirdcraftsinc]

The last card is my fave!

[@lafrancemeyers7728]

Love all your cards ❤❤

[@ginamcdonald7854]

Top Left, and bottom 3 are my favorites!!! Love the embossing on the patterned paper!!! They’re all beautiful! Great kit!

[@terryolson196]

Loved all the cards, but that last one was my favorite. Love the mid-century modern vibe!

[@nancyloomis3046]

Love your cards…esp the one with the cut-aparts! I have a love/hate relationship with tape runners. 43:24 In the recent past, I was looking through a bunch of incomplete cards and “card parts” that I had put away for a good long time..too long. (Why didn’t I complete them and use them?….that’s another story.) Anyway, I noticed that some paper layers and die cuts that I thought were securely glued with a dot runner (you know, it has teeny dots of glue instead of solid glue…I prefer those…or preferred those.) were coming loose! 😮 So many of the cards I made using whatever brand or brands of dot runner and sent out may have fallen apart? I don’t know? I just hope the adhesion lasted until the person received the card, enjoyed it for a bit or disposed of it or put it away. Oh well. now I mostly use liquid glue or a glue stick (Elmer’s Craft Bond sticks are great!)

[@reba86442]

Wonderful ideas Cathy

[@carolpope1145]

Loved all our cards now you have doing the boop. 😂

[@czdesign]

Mwhahahaha. My plan for world boop domination has begun!

[@dianezalusky2944]

I would have used a double layer of vellum as the wrap around belly band. It would have been a bit more opaque, but would have been less stark again the pattern

[@michellehackett8502]

I will be looking at my pattern paper more to incorporate it into my cards after seeing this video.❤

[@czdesign]

Wonderful!

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Very nice cards. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@czdesign]

Thanks for watching!

[@lindachiasson5626]

Those are wonderful!

[@qwispery]

I think it's AmyR Prairie Paper and Ink who uses two metal shims.

[@kellystoutenborough7152]

ABSOLUTELY luv all your card ideas! I really do ❤ your card kit inspirations

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@debbieford6862]

Love the cards

[@tinaofferjost7330]

Beautiful cards :)

[@barbbrown295]

Love how these turned out!

[@elaineb1336]

They are all nice cards and my fav is the birthday wishes on patterned paper.

[@ot9228]

The last one, so simple but it’s my favorite. ❤

[@Cheryl_Chez_Boutique_crafts]

I think it looks quite manly with the 3d embossing and coloured trianglesxx

[@melissazabower339]

Love the 1st. Like with the new postage stamp stencil set.. .. inspiration to inspiration. The embossed one with the belly band-- maybe write embossed on a desert storm band?

[@melissasullivan9596]

Hi. The card that you made with the embossing folder, I think the vellum strip would have looked really cute lower on the bottom third of the card. But, it turned out just as cute!

[@f.joclemmons5799]

Cathy, I really enjoy your card kit videos. It’s fun to see what designs you come up with and the way you utilize the various products.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@Teresa-Q]

Oh Cathy these are all beautiful….loved the embossed one. Gotta try this idea. This kit and papers are gorgeous 🩷🩷🩷

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@ckidder5242]

You are so creative, and I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos!

[@angelicajacobs584]

Last month's kit I didnt get because I just didn't feel inspired by it. I loved your video of it. This month I love!! Always make such beautiful cards Cathy!

[@ValreeJean]

I think all of them are fabulous. My favorite is the last one; it’s so Cathy. The embossed one is a very close second.

[@dianahults3059]

I can't pick a favorite! Luv them all!

[@kathryngagne5636]

Love the clean & simple look!! Good job!!

[@donnamikasa]

Wonderful kit projects! I love your first card that reminds me of a postage stamp collage which is so trendy!

[@shawnae-k4533]

Darn you Kathy! I saw this last night and was thoroughly underwhelmed. I wasn't going to get it, but now you have made me decide I NEED it.

[@Love2Create62]

Really cute cards! The fifth one is out of the box for you, but it is my favorite! I have so much pattern paper from my scrapbooking days, I'm going to try using it in embossing folders! I always get useful tips and great ideas from you, thank you!!

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@vickidonnelly543]

Already a thumbs up because I know your going to rock it!!!

[@czdesign]

Awwww.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great cards!! ❤ Thank you Cathy!

[@tewmuch7342]

Very nice tutorial - thanks for sharing.

[@czdesign]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@amyhoffman3735]

On the Birthday Wishes card you could double up the vellum to make the sentiment stand out more on the belly band.

[@lorena617]

kathy what a lovely set of cards my favorite was the patter paper with embossing folder what an amazing idea. Im going to try this

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@brendadamon3606]

Beautiful cards!

[@plannertimewithmichael]

They are all beautiful!

[@CoffeeandScrappingLisa]

Fabulous cards, Cathy!❤

[@bonnieisabelle3641]

The white sentiment strip was definitely the way to go (in my opinion)

[@jo-annetedford519]

Love the first, forth and sixth the best. I am not a patterned paper user. I love it when I see it in cards but, I feel like I am cheating when I use it. You cropped them exactly like I thought I would when I saw them and they were gorgeous. ❤

[@lindaball403]

I like it

[@lking1986]

I have a collection of patterned paper but didn’t know how to use it- thanks for the ideas Cathy! ❤️

[@czdesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jobethdavis9720]

I need to know what those mats are inside your Misti.. especially the clear sticky one.

[@bobbyfitzgerald4165]

They are from waffleflower. New photopolymer sticky mats

[@czdesign]

Yes! I have it linked in the description!

[@jobethdavis9720]

Thank you … as I watched the entire video , I saw where you talked about it. I always get too excited about new things to think to myself, “I’m going to wait and see if she says something about that.” Thanks again!❤️

[@dianelorello6938]

Thumbs up, always know it will be fun and good info.

[@czdesign]

Thanks 👍

[@QueenDivaStar]

Well I am a little bit excited! I was able to order this (and I live in AUSTRALIA!!!).... So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so (ouch hand cramp) excited!!!! And I used your affiliate link too!!!

Hope you enjoy it! And thank you!

Can't wait to see this!

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

Do you coordinate your nail polish with the kits because it really goes nicely with all the colors of these cards 💅🏻

[@czdesign]

I really don't! haha. But i feel like it's happy luck!

What is the guitar music- love it!

Yes, they are from Stamp n Storage: ldli.co/e/jql09yo

[@mandibottley7308]

2 metal shims is Amy R i think :) xx

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you!

[@lindaball403]

Put white under the vellum

[@donnacole8773]

Card 5 would make a great card for a guy. They are the hardest cards I try to make.

[@dizzinese]

I know! That SBC double sided adhesive will NOT die cut! I have tried many many times. It won’t work! Ever! No matter how many shims! I used it to tape down my area rug to the cement floor! It’s pointless! I bought Altenews because I heard they had the best. But save the frustration on the roll!

[@junedizer827]

Boop Kathy!

[@paulwilliamford6789]

Hey Cathy, I love your work, although I don't tend to use kits as a rule.... Ish, I do love this kit, anyhoo, I digress, I admire your work, I tend to kinda mull things over and then find the most difficult method of execution 😂until I refine the idea, sort of mixed media projects, greetings card hybridy thingy, I just wonder if it's OK to contact you if I get stuck?

[@czdesign]

I'm happy to answer any questions about the kit!

[@paulwilliamford6789]

@@czdesign Thank you Cathy, although I've been crafting for years, I do get stuck or I get distracted, say, if someone throws a Frisbee, I just can't help myself, I have been rescued from more trees than I care to mention 😂😂 seriously, thanks Cathy. Paul 🌈 x

[@cherifertsch9362]

We're not getting the pouch?

[@czdesign]

The pouch isn't included with all kits. It's based on the value of each piece and I think in this case, there are two ink pads instead of a pouch.

[@dorishelbig4451]

Unfortunately, I can't watch the premiere at 10 p.m. because I'm going to eat with one of my best and dearest colleagues today. Of course I will do it again.

[@suelanham5125]

I like the white band because you lose the words on the vellum. They are harder to see with the colors underneath!

[@msl3900]

See ya'll.

[@TerriFulper]

Hi Cathy.. i love to watch you make your cards but..can you please get some different music when you are coloring or whatever? ❤❤❤❤

[@czdesign]

Well, I mean, okay? I have to pay for it so… I'll do my best.

[@czdesign]

Also, i just checked and I had to laugh: this IS different music than I usually use. lol.

[@ginamcdonald7854]

What, no zippered mesh bag in this kit???

[@czdesign]

Not all kits come with the mesh bag because it's based on the value and I think because there are two ink pads in this kit that replaced having a mesh bag!
