When you can't get enough of stencils (I got you!)

[@lauralaforest309]

I love both of those cards! Great video.

[@walternicolas6927]

Hello how are you doing today.❣️

[@nurseratchet8566]

Watching you create is always both fun and relaxing. And the cards could not be cuter 💖💙💚💛🧡

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much 😀

[@patricianikkila4424]

I’m all about these cards. Love how simple and clean they look.

[@boleykr]

150 people have probably already said this, but every time I saw the "Thank You for being a Friend" die on instagram last night, and again, today on your video, I break into song!!! Thank you Golden Girls...

[@czdesign]

I sent this finished card to my best friend and I wrote out the lyrics to that song because I thought she would think that was funny!

[@geraldinekennedy9929]

It's JUST paper - I love that. We are soooo detemined to be perfect every time - but as you say - IT'S JUST PAPER

[@czdesign]

Yep. Totally just paper!

[@carolmartin965]

I'm a stencil person too. Just got the funky flowers stencil last week and made some cards with it. I like the rainbow hearts card . It reminds me of the candy dots or buttons on the strip of paper that I used to get when I was a kid.

[@CraftingwithSlavie]

I like the hello card. That sparkle embossing and the rainbow speak to me. But both are gorgeous!

[@kayleighallan5742]

Can I just say.. I have been laid in bed fighting covid for the past week binge watching all your videos... I love your sence of humour.. I love your card making style and I love how soothing you voice is.. so thank you for making the brilliant videos for us all to enjoy. Please keep them coming.. I could watch your videos over and over again. Take care and stay safe xx

[@czdesign]

Oh Kayleigh! Hope you are on the mend soon!

[@kayleighallan5742]

@@czdesign I'm very much on the mend now thank you xx

[@mrscms831]

"Thank you for being a friend" I'm singing the Golden Girls theme. " Boop, boop, boop, poke, poke, poke", CZ official crafting lingo. I think the star card is my fav. I think I might have tried a colored sentiment on the heart card.

[@CatherinesCreations7]

Such lovely cards, Cathy. I always love to see when you've uploaded a new video, your sense of humor is such fun!

[@joannep8983]

The background reminds me of tie dye. Great idea for those of us at a certain age.

[@amyswares]

Smart use of the press n' seal! Even got a couple "boops" on this one! Love 'em! Great job as always.

[@ellenburkett2461]

Lovely cards!! Yet another crafting use for Press and Seal. LOL

[@reneekennedy38]

I love your channel! I’m glad you get “right to it” instead of spending 30 minutes talking about every little detail about everyone in your life. That I mind hearing anything little snippets that you may add. Love your sense of humor. Your videos are perfect.

[@czdesign]

Lol! On my longer format videos, I do talk a bit more, but… I try to keep it focused on the project. : )

[@reneekennedy38]

Believe me, you’re short winded even then

[@teresafarrington7008]

Love both of those cards!! ❤😊

[@lcolwell29]

Great cards and I love your "craft/diningroom". Tfs ❤🇨🇦

[@alwaysCHItee]

“The walls not gonna move on its own” 🤣🤣🤣 love your sense of humor. Simple and beautiful cards Cathy 👍🏾

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@marylehett1127]

Love both cards, Cathy.

[@lauradimitriadis4371]

Love the hello card. I had never thought of using embossing ink through a stencil

[@leeminer1939]

Both cute but agree, like the first one most. Something very sweet about it...

[@kimbain4368]

Two more beauties! You have such wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing and bringing a smile. You're a gem!

[@kristinegoetsch8009]

These are beautiful, Cathy. You are inspiring me to get out all my stencils.❤️

[@Scrappybaker]

Such fun cards. Love the size of your new stencils

[@createwithalison]

Great cards! I especially like the second one ❤️

[@moreiss1]

Thanks for the smiles today Cathy!!! Beautiful cards!!!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@lisapotts7960]

These cards are so simple and pretty. I love your sense of humor too. 😊

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@lynnpinkstaff3383]

Both are great but, I like the hello card better. 😊

[@katyglenn9271]

These were great cards. I loved the envelope. You showed how even gifted crafters have trouble. Thank you for your inspiration!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@estherquintana9534]

Lucky you live far away cause I would so love to hang out with you in the craft/dining room and make cards all day!

[@gingerpayne7310]

Both are beautiful cards! Thanks for the great tip with press and seal.

[@DeeCreates]

Love both cards!

[@JenAultman]

I love both!!! Great ideas! Would be fun to use paste after that blending. So glad I ordered these. The stars will be great for masculine birthday cards. 😀

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

You made my day...a Cathy Zielske video means a happy dance on my end. Both cards are adorable.

[@czdesign]

Love that!

[@maggiebrinkley4760]

Two more beautiful cards, Cathy - the colours are so gorgeous! Also, I love your starry slippers! 'Starry, starry night....'

[@czdesign]

They are my favorite house shoes ever! Haflinger! Love!

[@sandiarnold6707]

Great idea with press and seal.

[@paulaquick5171]

I love both of them. You make me laugh, thank you for that. I need it now more then ever 😂

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

I do love them both Cathy. But my favourite is the Hello card. Something about the colours is so appealing. 😊

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@moeboe2]

Also there is a self healing die cutting plate. 💜

[@2005vikki]

If I have to chose a favorite I will go with the stars! Now if you ask e again tomorrow I might go with the hearts but now its the sparkly stars! As always I LOVE your videos!

[@graemejaine1578]

Hi, Linda here from New Zealand, I often watch your videos and I must say you are one of the most real, grounded person I watch, bravo, good job.❣

[@czdesign]

Wow, thank you! Waving at you down in your beautiful country! I visited in 2006, in the north, and loved it so much!

[@743linda]

So happy stencils are making a comeback!!!! I love both the cards, but the first one is my favorite!

[@czdesign]

Mine too!

[@ceceswalla3465]

I love them both, but my favorite is the hello card simply because I am a sucker for sparkle & glitter!

[@czdesign]

Thank you!

[@louannewronski4352]

You are very quickly becoming my favourite (Canadian spelling) designer, Cathy! Not sure how I've missed you all this time, but I am thankful to Simon H. for introducing us. YAY! eh?

[@czdesign]

Yay, thank you! Glad that you found me, too! And I love that spelling. My parents are from your great country!

[@patriciacornelius1588]

Left very colorful

[@janethebo5675]

Thanks again for the fun!

[@Taitcreates639]

Clean and simple, my kinda card. Tfs

[@vickawhitehammill6203]

I like the Hello one best....however, I love all the cards you make. I do enjoy your videos!

[@patriciacornelius1588]

Loved them both!!!

[@bellapopish7584]

I like the one on the left. More white space cleaner and simpler. Love, love and love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@christineclem1118]

I absolutely LOVE your CAS style and sense of humor! In real life I would love to have you as a friend! I also want to say THANK YOU for your tips from another video to Cut Tags of Your Cardstock and put them on rings. It has changed my life!! I feel life a real cardmaker now! HA! Love you lots! xoxo

[@czdesign]

Wow, thank you!

[@marshah5930]

Undo! Why didn't I think of that. Great tip.

[@kerriegood1046]

I just love when you make a video- you have such a fun sense of humor.

[@judyhosch672]

Love them both !

[@corinarazo1404]

Friday morning coffee and card video, living the dream here! Choosing a favorite card is like choosing your favorite child! Both offer a bit of sparkle and CZ Designs style, love them both ❤.

[@czdesign]

Living. The. Dream.

[@tracydibsdale4004]

I love your cards!! Simple & easy BUT so good!! I really enjoy your comments always makes e laugh!!

[@czdesign]

I appreciate you watching, Tracy!

[@yomamma7982]

Great cards! Easy-Peasy! You brighten up my day! But could you make the videos a little longer, I haven’t finished my coffee with you! 😂

[@laurasutton1551]

Great idea

[@maritakasley1931]

Again Cathy, simple cards yet so pretty. You make me want to really try new things with stencils.

[@czdesign]

You should!

[@lwhitt9655]

Love them

[@sallyyotz3995]

I absolutely love the shadow detail that this adds. I am def going to have to try this!!!

[@walternicolas6927]

Hello how are you doing today.❣️

[@stamperssecret5379]

I just love the incredible simplicity of your style. It’s something I would love to learn. I’ve really learned a lot from you. Love the slippers. I can’t tell, do you have matching pj’s? My stepdaughter of38 years calls me MamaBear igotMama Bear pj’s and matching slippers. I wore them for5 straight days. My husband didn’t even complain. She is the light of my life

[@priscillasissem980]

Hi Cathy love these cards especially the one with the hearts. I like stencils because they are inexpensive and pack o punch. I'm adding more and more stencils to my stash. Adorable cards! Have a great day and thanks.

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@walternicolas6927]

Nice one

[@amyt6254]

Love the press and seal tip! Wonderful cards! The hearts are my favorite.

[@walternicolas6927]

Lovely

[@marybresnock3518]

Love listening and enjoying your cardmaking. Great!

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@msmollygone]

Killin' me, Cathy. I had the same trouble the first time I used my envelope maker. Thanks for the laughs. Loved your card by the way!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@marianne57]

Loving both cards. TFS ❤️🤗

[@bethgintx]

Of course I love both cards. When I emboss with versamark through a stencil, I use my reinker and put some on the TH glass mat and dab the sponge in the reinker. It is a lot easier.

[@czdesign]

Good tip!

[@xVentax]

That was fab. Love the humour. Love that you show the ‘finicky’ bits in real time - I so often feel like I’m just not capable of doing this stuff, especially placing sentiments, but have to remind myself that the video I just watched was actually at warp speed! I love that you use a t-ruler and ‘fiddle’ til you get it right - just like I have to. Loved the press n seal tip too, definitely gonna use that. Now subscribed. X x

[@czdesign]

So glad!

[@kathycamasso6672]

I just got some of those Gina K colors in the mail today; time to break out a stencil! I like the hearts but love that Hello!

[@carolweatherspoon3005]

Love those Cathy!!!!! Great stencils!!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@lorilazise1521]

These are so cute. Thank you for sharing Cathy! ❤

[@czdesign]

You are so welcome!

[@angelakenny6500]

They are both clean and simple ,love the star one best . Thanks for sharing

[@deborahmccleary1998]

I also love stencils. I love your Simple Patterns Trio. LOL, I have a Cricut that I have to pull away from the wall to use.😀

[@czdesign]

Those dang walls, right?

[@patriciabethke4142]

Great cards and great video, can't pick a favorite. Thanks for making another great video from your craft/dining room - they're always fun.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@carolrietzke6295]

Love the one with the stars most!

[@ruth6511]

I am loving all the latest stencils too. Not being a “real” artist, they give me great results!

[@czdesign]

that is how i feel, too! They make me fancier! lol!

[@barbaraparker8225]

You ARE a real artist. Don't compare what you create to the work of others.

[@joannesummers08]

I adore this card design x

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!

[@nancybuzzard2079]

I love your videos! Love the ease of making your cards! Love your simple dies, too!

[@stephaniejames8950]

I love them both they look so clean and easy to make👍🏾

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Am I the only one who keeps hearing a song with that “Thank You for Being a Friend” die? 😂 I love both of your cards! I think your Gemini would make a lovely centerpiece on your dining room table! No walls in the way! 😂 By the way, I’m afraid your sign actually says “craft backslash dining room.” 🤪 I do keep meaning to tell you that I really appreciate your positive, happy attitude about crafting in your dining room. I know many feel dissatisfaction with their lack of a big, fancy craft room. You show everyone that watches your videos that one can have fun & make beautiful cards even in a craft/dining room. ❤️ I do have a small craft room, but didn’t have it until all of our kids married & flew the coop!

[@czdesign]

Oh, I could not get that song out of my head!!!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

😂😂😂

[@aprilynnebarrett3239]

Another beautiful creative success! 💕

[@czdesign]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@aprilzderad4794]

I love both of these cards - I don’t think I can pick a favorite. I just ordered your Hello word die as well as your Happy Birthday die and I can’t wait to play with them!!

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you! Enjoy!

[@dheredia2789]

Love your video's

[@heatherjobe4420]

You're amazing from start to finish ❤️

[@czdesign]

Thank you so much!!

[@chrisbjornstedt]

love them both...the one on the left a tad bit better. You're awesome!

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@cassiemartin5368]

Very cute. Really like how they turned out!

[@czdesign]

Thank you!

[@walternicolas6927]

Lovely channel

[@camilleanzelmo6275]

I love both of them ! I really enjoy your videos. You make them fun!!

[@czdesign]

Glad you like them!

[@yvonneyorke2050]

Hi again Cathy, I’m zooming through your videos, they are fab. Really encouraging me to actually get going xx thanks from uk.

[@czdesign]

That is fabulous, Yvonne!

[@chariotrutkauskas6690]

I love them both! Do you know what I love more? I love your hair!!!

[@czdesign]

Oh thank you! Every time I think about coloring it I think I probably shouldn't because then I just have to dye it again.

[@jillmackellar9562]

These cards are so cool! I love the sound you make when you add sequins, I think I’m going to do that too! It’s just so cute!

[@czdesign]

Boop.

[@kimberlythomas2490]

Clean and simple...and still elegant! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@czdesign]

Thank you, Kimberly!

[@deborahcoram6793]

Nice cards! You are so funny! I enjoy your videos.

[@czdesign]

Thanks so much!

[@marzs1214]

Thanks for bringing a smile to my day! I so enjoy watching you craft. 💖

[@czdesign]

I'm so glad!

[@barbaraparker8225]

This die is sold out. Can't wait for it to come back. Great video. Thank you.

[@czdesign]

Oh wow! I thought it might. So many great examples in our store!

[@debrarector3509]

I’m addicted to stencils!! Thanks for inspiring me to use mine with embossing. Who knew???

[@czdesign]

I know, right? I feel like so many things in card making feel new to me!

[@justclaycrochet]

I love them both, those little hearts are adorable 💕

[@Princess_karen]

Suggestion if you flip your Gemini plates after each use they won’t bow as bad and break. Also using too many plates also makes them bow and break. Love all your videos, they are always fun.

[@czdesign]

You know, I have been flipping them every single time! Hmmm.
