Thank you, Cathy, for zooming in when using the black pencil and gamisol. Often it is very hard to see fine details when the video is so far away. Very beautiful card!
Great tips Cathy! I always learn things in your videos. I love the repeating design and also how the black pencil added dimension to the flowers. ❤ Thank you!! 😊
Love to watch you craft and your running dialogue! It’s fun to see you zhuzh up your card with a brand new-to-you technique, and it came out beautifully!
Oh Cathy, I remember when you first started and you were so unsure of you coloring of cards and now look at you. You've come a long way girl... All you cards are so beautiful!
I actually USE the machine now because of cutting into the magnet .... I ordered extra for later when I want to be all by the written rules.... but for now ... I'm a rebel and I love it
Hi!! Annette from Columbus, Ohio!! CATHY!!! -- Thank you for going live on Saturdays! My work schedule has changed and I can no longer hop on the weekday lives. But I do catch them all on replay 🫶🫶🩵 Glad to be here. Love your content!
The Waffle Flower Grip Mats are the best thing since the Misti was invented! No more magnets!! I have them in my Mini and one of my Original sizes (I keep the other one for cling stamps). I also use the Tim Holtz grip mats (cut down) for my ink pads because the woodpecker noise bugs me (no pun intended). Love the way the card turned out today....that little bit of black at the base of the flowers and leaves really makes a difference. Sorry I missed the Premiere!
A beautiful card 😍 I was always told not to use gamsol to blend as its a solvent and will degrade the paper and ink. For a greeting card its probably not that important but if it’s something you want to keep then I was always told to use a blending pencil suitable for the type of pencil you are using. 🤷♀️
Morning Kathy, always a great way to start the day , with one of your videos. I have a quick question about the grip mat. Is that the same as the gel plate. Are they interchangeable?
I suspect you lined up the die on the floral as well as you could have, but when you stamped the image that stem wasn’t quite in line with the die. I realized I needed to do a template for the stamping to make sure that stem was in line. (But I don’t think it’s noticeable in the end!)
For the white cardstock, it's 110% and the card base is 100lb. : ) I always include a link to my supply list and blog post if you need to know any other details about the papers! It's in the UA-cam description box!
I always love your shorter vids. I work full time and can’t watch your lives that go over an hour plus. Would you please consider doing an edited video of your “lives” like Kristina Warner does. She edits down her lives to be about 20-30 min. and cut out the extra chatter, choices, etc. Thanks! Love your simple designs also! I need to make sympathy cards again…ugh, life. 😢 This would be great for that! ❤️
Hello there! I tried that for a bit, but I felt like it wasn't a good fit for my channel at this time. The editing takes a surprising amount of time, lol, and my livestreams are meant to be just that… a live. This video here is not a live. It was edited to be the length that it is. : ) Sometimes, I can't squeeze all the steps into a shorter time frame. So sorry!
I love the lives just the way they are! I rarely see one while it's live, but I still get the feel of being there and seeing everything that happens. I love that in some of the lives chat suggestions are used. It helps me be a better card maker.
This is a simple and elegant card. I liked the effect with the black pencil and the Gamsol. Thank you for showing us that trick.
Cathy! I have to tell you when I am in a crafty funk I watch your videos and it pulls me right out of it. I love this so much. Simple and beautiful. 🩷
I'm so glad!
What a GORGEOUS card!!
Thank you my friend!
Wonderful design tips, thank you.
I am a HUGE fan of your clean and simple cards. So lovely! ☀️
Thank you, Cathy, for zooming in when using the black pencil and gamisol. Often it is very hard to see fine details when the video is so far away. Very beautiful card!
Another beautiful card. Cathy, your vids are full of clear instruction and inspiring cards. Thank you!
Love the card, and totally agree about standing being the way to accurately place items on card base.
I really love that card! The color blending on the flowers is beautiful!
Simple clean layout! Love it Cathy.
Glad you like it!
Such a Beautiful card Cathy.
Love it.
Thanks so much!
Great tips Cathy! I always learn things in your videos. I love the repeating design and also how the black pencil added dimension to the flowers. ❤ Thank you!! 😊
Love the card Cathy, especially with the black card base!
Catching the replay. I use a bottle with a dauber top for my gamsol. That way I just touch the stump to the wet top to get it wet.
so pretty! Love the opposite symmetry design! Have a wonderful weekend.
Love to watch you craft and your running dialogue! It’s fun to see you zhuzh up your card with a brand new-to-you technique, and it came out beautifully!
The pencil & gasoline really makes a difference! I love the soft colors. 💛😊
Gamsol, not gasoline. She didn't actually risk blowing up the craft room
hahah! phew!
Such a beautiful card!!
Thank you for your Design Tips videos. I find them so very interesting and helpful.
I really like the way you pulled the floral in towards the sentiment. I love that sentiment set you designed also.
Oh Cathy, I remember when you first started and you were so unsure of you coloring of cards and now look at you. You've come a long way girl... All you cards are so beautiful!
Yes, yes I have! And still having so much fun!
I appreciate the closeups on using the gamesol. Awesome card.
Love your videos always! And always appreciate your design suggestions.
I actually USE the machine now because of cutting into the magnet .... I ordered extra for later when I want to be all by the written rules.... but for now ... I'm a rebel and I love it

Beautiful card! I love the colors and that extra something you did with the black is awesome!

Yes, for a card it's likely not a big deal!
Thumbs up for Cathy!
Hello everyone one! Cyndi here from northern Mn patiently-impatiently waiting!!!

Hi from Massachusetts
I suspect you lined up the die on the floral as well as you could have, but when you stamped the image that stem wasn’t quite in line with the die. I realized I needed to do a template for the stamping to make sure that stem was in line. (But I don’t think it’s noticeable in the end!)
A template would have helped!
Wow. I love that. Never used gamsol. Looks fun! Where do we get blending stumps?
I got a pack on Amazon! I have a supply list here: ldli.co/e/xl9qynl

Jennifer Maguire also edits down her videos and I believe Simon Says as well.

Stay the way you are. You’re awesome. There is always fast forward 😂😮😊
Love your card, Cathy!
I really appreciate all the tips and tricks, too!
