[REAL TIME VIDEO] Your new stamps arrive and all of a sudden you're struck with designer freeze! I've been there, and today, I'll start from scratch with a stamp set I've never used before. Will it be cute? Or a hot mess? True, I'll go to some tried and true techniques, but I will talk you through some of the design decisions, plus we can have a live chat during the premiere! I filmed this "live" in my craft/dining room so that I could premiere it and we can chat as we go! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer during the premiere! Or, if you catch this after the premiere, leave a comment for me below! All the supplies I'm using are linked below!

Also, don’t forget everyone, utilize those cellphones and snap a picture of your pre-glued, die-cut i arrangement to help you replicate the arrangement as you glue the pieces down. And take a picture of the finished product, too, so when you give it away, sell it, whatever, you can remember what you did and make it again at a later date

Yes! This is a necessary series. I buy too many Stamp Set based on cards I've seen in videos or Instagram. Once I have the stamp set, within a couple of weeks, I have forgotten the inspiration and feel frustrated when I don't know what to do with the stamps. I'd love to know how you approach designing a card. Also, I saw a suggestion as to how to use the multitude of backgrounds that we all have laying around. That would be helpful as well. As ever, thank you!

Great video and I really like the way the narrative went. I like to hear what’s going through your mind as you worked on it. And I’m glad it’s not a full live with a chat. I know lots of folks love the chats but for me they are distracting with all the “hi” to so-and-so and the responses to a comment that was written a while ago. Your sharing of your thoughts as you create is what I really am looking for as I learn from your thoughts and reasons for doing, or not doing, things.

This is fantastic! The new “thing” always gets the love while all the other stuff gets thrown to the side. This makes me want to go through my stamps and such to see what I haven’t used in a long time. Edit: this topic could apply to everything we own. I would love to see this with other things too, like embossing powder, markers and all the other things we “have” to have.

Kathy, making these videos is a good idea and I hope you continue. I have been making cards and building up my stash and confidence for about four years, but I learned helpful things today about my process. Comments like, “makes everything three times” really helps me to forgive myself for not getting it right the first time. Actually, I am finally moving beyond the concern for perfection, but reinforcement is a good thing! Now I am thinking about those card makers that found their love of paper crafting during a pandemic and don’t even have someone to guide them. You are doing the right thing and it is a gift to others. Thank you!

I'll take your blender sponges--haha! I love the sentiment on top of the flowers, but I think you made the right choice because the bouquet is toward the top of the panel. If it was centered, I'd put the sentiment on top of the bouquet. Beautiful card & now I want to try embossing a stencil!

Though oils have not been my pursuit (unless u count Paint-By-Number kits) I have learned (through bitter pain & experience😅) that I can do a multitude of arts & crafts, if I put my mind to it...except maybe whittling (me & sharp little knives😝) Thanks Cathy, for being 'live' from your diningroom.

Often by the time the stamp arrives I’ve forgotten my idea & I have no idea what to do. This will be a fantastic series & helpful for so many of us.

This is so helpful. I have a fair few stamp sets that I have never used mainly because I have no idea, but what I learned today is that I just need to get them out and play with them and see what works together. I liked the sentiment on the flowers, but I preferred where you ended up putting it - it almost helped to frame the flowers with the white space at the bottom and the right, like a back to front L. Thanks Cathy, yet another great tutorial. xx

I like you in the little circle! It's more homey somehow, like we're right there with you. I'm commenting as I watch. I, too, just found Bob Ross a few years ago and oh my goodness there is no greater stress reducer than watching him paint. It's the most calming thing a person can do. He absolutely takes you out of your own head. Moving on, I like the sentiment down below the flowers -- you asked, I'm answering. To me it looked too "clumpy" on the flowers, like just one too many things stacked there, if that makes sense. Now to see what you actually do.... Yes! I, too, am so glad we had this time to talk it through! You made a beautiful flower arrangement! Go you! This is a lovely card. Thanks for sharing your process!

I would have tried the sentiment lined up on the right side overlapping the leaf before locking it down, but then I usually put the sentiment lower right. They always seem to work better there for me. Fun to watch your process.

Hi Cathy, I think you made a good choice with your sentiment strip. I like your "Live" stamping and think you did an excellent job. Thanks.

I loved this video...I watch all of your videos, but this one was especially appropriate for me. I always buy stamps when I see them demoed, and then when I get them, I forget why or what I saw that inspired me to buy it. I've challenged myself to do exactly what you showed....pull and stamp and make something. THANKS for doing this Cathy.

Cathy, Your card is Gorgeous! I will definitely be watching this series. I am so glad that you craft with coffee, and occasionally have to take a moment. "Me, Myself and I" caught "ourselves " chuckling because that is what goes on in my head too!🤪🤫🤣 Have a Fabulous week!

So enjoyed your video! The layout is perfect because it has 5 items; 3 flowers and 2 leaves. Not so busy. I like your idea of using tweezers for easier placement. Good tip.

I thought your card rocked! I liked both choices for the placement of the sentiment but like the one you choose better. I also really liked the design "breaking" out of the margin just a little. BTW, I love that story about Bob Ross! TFS!

Sentiment placement - I thought it looked good over the flower and then you moved it down and I was like "yes!". I think you made the right choice 😃

Loved this! I’m still better at buying the stamp sets than actually making the cards. Watching you makes me want to go make cards. I have a gf in California that’s losing her job. Company is shutting its doors due to COVID-19. Tomorrow I hope the creative juices flow so I can cheer her up.

You inspire me. Most of the videos are detailed you make it seem a little more workable. I can relate my craft room is a closet and when I need to use my machines I wind up in the dinning room. And I love when you address your viewers not that you hear us yelling back at you 🌹☺️ Great job and thanks for all your get tips.

Beautiful card Cathy, and a very timely topic for me as I'm organizing my stamp sets at the moment. It took me FOREVER to decide just how I wanted to do that but it's coming along nicely and I'm almost done (I think). Thanks for sharing your creativity and your fun personality - I love it!

This was a really helpful video, thank you so much. I would also love some sort of "mini series", in the same style as this video, but using the same stamp set in a few different ways please. I find that once I have one idea for a set I struggle to come up with something different to do!

@czdesign 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, that is a good idea. Or at least I could make more samples to share at the end, which would save time! yeah?
