  • [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!

    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!

      I have the same problem, so now I take a photo on my phone of the card that inspired the purchase as well as the stamp/die. I keep them in an album called ‘purchased” so I know how to find it again. Makes it so much easier and I can go thru it to see my purchased items and I don’t double up. ❤️🇦🇺

    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

    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.

    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!

    This is so helpful.

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

If I’m setting it of below as you have done I create a little white space for that sentiment strip. Love your work

    Cathy, I’m have been binge watching all of your CZcams videos. I woke up Wednesday at 3:21AM and you were still making cards. So now I have to figure out where fell asleep. I really love your more recent videos. I like seeing your face and love your “quirky” personality. I hope you are not offended. Remember you will always have new viewers and they will have varying degrees of experience.

    Good decision on separating the sentiment to show all the beautiful flowers 👍😉

    I think it’s great that you did this video because it shows people that you don’t always have to have a plan in mind and it develops as you go and I just found that refreshing

    Loved this card! It was wonderful to hear your thoughts as you designed the card. I never thought of making a template for the die cut but that seems the perfect solution to getting the image centered. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

    I love this - the process and the final outcome. I've been in a rut for weeks - crafter's version of writer's block - but after watching this, I'm feeling creative again. ☺

    Great tips for those of us who buy stamps on the spur of the moment after watching a video with those stamps. Thanks for all the tips, & I think the sentiment below the flowers was the way to go.

  • @rosemiller1596
    @rosemiller1596 Před 4 lety

    Cathy I love seeing your creation thought process!! I will be looking forward to the next video as I am like so many, lots of stamps due to seeing someone use them and I just have to have them. ....... yup still sitting brand new in package!!

    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
      @czdesign  Před 4 lety +3

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

  • @me04100
    @me04100 Před 4 lety

    Loved the small insight into your creative brain and how you start your beautiful projects. Keep the videos coming, I'm so enjoying! You cracked me up with your Ellen quote "my point, and I do have one." PS. I love Bob Ross too.

  • @Genie11000
    @Genie11000 Před 3 lety +1

    Love your design explanations. They help me to think through my own designing using my own stamps. Since I don't have many dies I use masking to achieve my layered look. You are very inspiring. Thank you.

    @kathygroff4526 Před 4 lety

    Your card is delightful! It’s 50/50 on the placement of the sentiment strip, but I’m leaning toward the choice on top of the bouquet. The black on the yellow is really attractive! TFSharing, Cathy! 💛🌼🧡

    @stampnurse Před 4 lety

    So glad you're doing this series! This has happened to me with so many purchases! I love bouquets, but also have trouble arranging them. Emboss resist is absolutely my go-to! 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!

    Where have you been hiding? You tube finally put your video where I could see it and this is wonderful. Going through the design process I felt like I was watching myself. Thank you for sharing and your card looks marvelous!

    • @czdesign
      @czdesign  Před 4 lety

      Hey Melissa, it is weird… i don't know how CZcams algorithms work. But yeah, I've been making videos now for three years and all of a sudden, THIS video gets more views.
      But then, if you make a video that people don't choose as much, CZcams seems to then push you down in recommendations. It's a strange land but… happy you found me!

  • @audregaer3281
    @audregaer3281 Před 4 lety +5

    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.

  • @nadeanamen1542

    You just helped me get through my daily stationary bike ride 🙋🏽‍♀️👍🏽
    I just watched a documentary on Bob Ross, Iv been watching him for years creating all his “ happy little accidents” so soothing but when I first started watching him I would be talking to the TV saying, no it’s perfect, don’t go back in, then he would just make it even better💛

    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.

  • @lindajackson6793
    @lindajackson6793 Před 4 lety

    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.
