New stamps AND new dies? Now what? Join me for another process video wherein I take a set I've never used and make something. Along the way, I'll talk about design choices, you'll see a photo of my at 14 in my skating costume, and who knows what else!

I am of the philosophy that if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all. And when you are on this side of the video screen, we have choices: 1) watch the video or 2) click stop if it's not to our taste because I truly feel there's enough negativity out there and I personally do not think that it serves a purpose. Keep those videos coming... I for one am loving them. 😊

It is weird because I've never given a thumbs down to anything on KZfaq. I've also never left a negative comment. I think it takes a lot of energy to put negativity into the world. Or maybe it takes more energy to put positivity into the world? Now I don't know which ones easier because it seems like people like to share their negative perspective so freely. It's OK. I'm having a lot of fun and there are so many people like you that make up the majority of commenters and for that I am grateful.

I knew a guy in the early 80's who was smitten with the Muppets movie. He had a little stuffed cloud with rainbow fringe hanging from the ceiling, but he also had a sort of gray satin stuffed rain cloud with "rain fringe" coming out of it, shades of blue purple grey white maybe black. It was cute. Not sure if I've seen the muppet movie or if it had anything to do with that movie.

Your card is simple but I think it's cute too! To answer your question Cathy; I've been crafting for over 10 years and I can look at someone's project and usually see how they did it - once in a while there's a new technique or something to learn but mostly, i'm not afraid when it comes to papercraft - it's only paper, if it doesn't work, it has another side or can go in the bin and start again :o) When it comes to keyboard warriors having a go - they aren't worth anyones time or energy - let it go, let it go... thanks for sharing, i hadn't seen either set before but like you i have many 'must have' purchases that haven't been used, I'm trying to remedy that nowadays though :o)

I think your project is cute also like the pale gray background. Love this series of videos 'New stamps...". I think it gives newbies or oldbies to papercrafting/cardmaking and maybe other people who happen to stumble on your video some idea of what it takes to make a card/project. My friends and relatives (all non-crafters) love my cards, but don't understand all the little thoughts that go through the creator's mind and the physical steps that the creator has to go through to make a nice-looking card. Love your humor, observations and thought processes. Keep it up!

Love your sense of humor and this series of videos makes me want to open a few packages of my own and get going. Thanks!

Another awesome video! I’ve only been card making for a few years like you but I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. You’re so easy to listen to.

Adorable card. I love watching your process... makes me feel like I'm normal and I think you're hilarious. I tend to bite off more than I can chew. When people have mean things to say... it's not about you... it's about them. You're lovely!

I like the gray. Super cute. I really enjoyed listening to your thought process I am new to stamping so hearing you design decision and your indecisiveness is super helpful for me.

I have been enjoying this series. I find I struggle to come up with ideas when I get new stamps. Seeing your process is inspiring. I also appreciate your attitude toward the negative people. My thin skin certainly keeps me from putting myself out there. I hope to one day have the ability to not let it get to me so much. Keep creating!

Hi Cathy. You are one of my favorite card makers. I love your sense of humor and experimentation. I'm new to card making and I'm learning a lot from you about the thought process of making a card. I love the fact that you were a graphic designer. You have skills that the other card makers don't have. Thank you for your videos.

Fun video! You are really getting more comfortable on the camera and much more competent with the video process! I do notice the difference from earlier this year. Keep ‘em coming!

Hey Susan, thank you so much for saying that. I feel like I'm starting to iron out the bugs for sure. My goal has been to get one percent better every time I film it live style video.

I'm with you on simplicity. I love making simple cards and avoid ephemera that a lot of people seem drawn to. Simple is very effective!

Hello Cathy, when you're done heat embossing turn it over and heat the other side a little bit, and it will help remove the warping. I really love your videos!! You have a wonderful personality, and I love your humor. Linda from NJ. 😀🌺

Grey was the right call, love the card! Wasn't sure if I'd like the straight rainbow stripes, but it works. The cloud face is adorable.

I love this series and watching your creative process! I have so many stamps and dies that I have not used yet so this is helping me step out and use them! I appreciate the tips that you share also. I will be trying the tape one to hold little die pieces! Thanks for all that you do!

I like the grey base as it ties in with the eyes & mouth & it follows with grey skies! Looks great!

@@czdesign just like you. I would have given up on stamping if not for the MISTI! Glad you said that. It's often hard to justify spending money on supplies, but it is so worth it buying quality.
