She will NEVER throw your card away!!! I like that you don't allow the "turds" brake your flow! Wishing you all the very best! Thank you Debbie for helping our friend saving her boo boo wrist when pressing down on the Misty! Very kind! Blessings Cathy for a wonderful year in 2021! Keep smiling!
Oh Cathy, you are just the BEST, pyjamas notwithstanding! No one can capture the ‘real’ in cardmaking like you do, and that is a joy in and of itself. We are so grateful that you have veered into this wonderful craft from scrapbooking (although that is also amazing) to inspire us and make us laugh. Watching your videos is always such a happy experience. ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
I do not understand these people that do a thumbs down. In the words of my era, you are a hoot and very talented.
Thank you!!!
There are always people who think they are better than anyone else.
I love you Cathy! Don't change anything! I think thumbs down is rude and I used to be hurt by them. But I realized that often, they don't like the product etc and it's not personal. But I never give them on craft channels and only if some other type of channel is offensive! Those in our generation were taught if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!! Hugs!
Cathy, I have been stamping for over 20 years now, and I am so happy to have subscribed to your videos. I love your sense of humor, how low key you are, and how you make me feel everything is going to be fine, no matter what....it's just paper! You've given me fresh perspective; it's like having a friend to stamp with. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
Good morning! Beautiful, soft card. FYI.... I snorted coffee all over my tablet when you said 1% are turds! Nothing better than spending time with a jammie wearing, middle aged crafter, in her craft/dining room. Love it!
Thanks for watching, Brenda!
Good heavens...I thought she said ‘jerks.’ I would have snorted my perfectly good wine! Great card yet again, Cathy! Love the soft, wintery feel.
Love to watch everyone of your videos. When I see that you have a new one up... it is brakes on... stop what I am doing and watch. It is the best part of my day. I love it that you are not a fashion statement... just down to earth. Thank you!!!
Love that!
I love watching what you can create in your dining/craft room. My only request is that you do not stop making videos!! They are such fun to watch and I love your humor! And I love this card, You give me courage to just start making a card, the fun is in the process!
Thanks for all your videos!!
You are so kind, Karen! I plan to keep it up!
It's beautiful! I agree 100% about finding joy in what we do. To me my craft room is like my safe haven, a place to unwind, relax, create, have fun trying techniques, and it helps me keep my sanity from all the crazy things that go around us.
Glad you joined this card makers community and share your knowledge and art. Have a great, safe, healthy and creative New Year Cathy! 🥂
Thanks, Carla! You too!
I just adore you & your humor. NO WAY no less cliches in 2021. I use phrases my Grandparents said to me (they were so wise!) and they’re called Elmer-isms. People remember that...and it makes you you. Loving the process is exactly why I make cards. Small works of art to send away to show others you care. AND I enjoy thinking about that person while I’m creating. ❤️ Ty Cathy for your inspiration & the Elmerisms!
My favorite cliches are old-timey ones! lol!
Thank you Cathy! You are such a joy to watch! Appreciate all that I have learned from you over the past year!
Thank you for keeping us me sane. I've dabbled in card making for years but watching your videos makes me want to try to do more! Be well.
Cathy, from one middle aged crafter to another, we should be thanking you for all your great tips and design advice and all the fabulous dies and stamps you've designed over the years!
Cathy you have excellent card making skills but it is you who makes me tune in. It's 5am and the nurse just woke me up to take my vitals. Recovering from pneumonia. Guess what? You were on and it made my day. I don't have any card making things with me but your shining example of being creative is so catchy. Thanks.
Hope you feel better soon!
Love your cards, your explanations, and your sense of humor! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Dear Cathy,sending Yuletide Blessings to you & yours.You have helped me through these pandemic lockdowns,with your great humour,talent and wisdom,you often motivate me to create when i just want to wallow... did i tell you i think you’re awesome? As always,Thankyou & Cheers! xox.
Wow, thank you
Always love watching your videos.....and I do learn....also, you help get me back into the mood to make cards and craft. You always provide a giggle or two...something I need. Thank you for doing what you do!!!! ❤️️
I'm so glad!
Cathy, you're so right, do what brings you joy. I don't like to use glitter either but you've shown a simple but lovely way to add just a smidge and not have a huge mess LOL! Thanks for sharing your journey creating this card, it turned out beautifully and no doubt your bestie will love it!
Thank you so much!
I really love your crafty videos and enjoy your humour. It’s so down to earth and natural.
OMG I almost dropped all the beads I was sorting when you said ‘turds’. So true. I love the simplicity of your designs. Classic.
Thank YOU, Cathy! This is such an elegant card. I love your videos, you are so calm and, yes, so full of joy. Discovering your Channel has been one of the best things about this awful year, you make me smile and fill me with enthusiasm. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much!
I, like so many people, love love LOVE watching you...your videos always encourage me to create, I've only started creating and making cards since the pandemic and though I'm not great, I love making cards and putting a smile on people's faces!
Thank you so much for your inspiration and time that you give us...your humor and positivity bring a smile to my face!
God bless and may the New Year bring you much love and happiness❣🤗
You are so welcome!
Love this sweet card! No matter how difficult my day may be, I always know when I watch your videos I will have a good laugh and feel a whole lot better. And as for those turds...they don’t know what they’re missing! We love you Cathy. You always keep it real, (I’m in my jammies too!).
I'm so glad! And I am still in mine, too!
loved that!! almost looked northern lights-ish!! I think your besty will have loved it and it'll be just what she needs to weather this storm!
I really enjoy watching you create cards, thank you so much. I’m trying to get started but find it hard to accumulate all needed just to do something and still miss something but I enjoy it so much , thank you , Royce Rodgers LA
You can do it! I know it does seem like there is so much needed. But my hope is to do some videos in the coming year that use less. Although I can't lie: when I started card making in 2017, I spent more on craft supplies than i had spent ANY year as a scrapbooker. Yikes! but I do use the big tools for sure!
My friend Kristina Werner does videos on her channel using minimal supplies! Not all the time, but she has many and they might inspire you to realize you don't need all the things!

Hello Cathy, I am always happy when a new Video is online. I love your Crafting. I love your personality. You make me smile.
I am a big fan of Winter scenes. Thanks for this beautiful Card.
Lovely Greetings from Berlin Germany and I wish you a happy and healthy New Year.
I really love your channel. Sometimes I'm a little intimidated doing cards, you inspire me and make me feel better!
A sweet, sweet card Cathy!!! I too, got myself a gel press and some brayers and made a bunch of backgrounds that I have in a box for when I'm ready to create a card! I really appreciate your channel and your joy for cardmaking. It is so much therapy for me as it is fun! Happy New Year to you!
Thank you for sharing the joy of cardmaking. I have gotten into making journals but my first love was cards. I too have supplies I have bought but not used. So now I have the encouragement to go for it in this new year and enjoy the joy of creating. New subbie.
Thank you for subbing!!!
I hadn't thought about my gelli plate in a long time. I'm going to make some winter cards so I can't wait to try this out. Your videos are the ones I always watch when the notification pops up. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Just LOVE your cards and your narrations.
Always makes me smile! Thank you.
I really look forward to your presentations. You approach to cardmaking is like so many of us. Your personality is a hoot. Take care be safe and make more presentations
I love the simplicity of this beautiful winter scene! Your videos and humor always bring a smile and a laugh!😉
I'm so glad!
Another beautiful card. I always thought using tweezer was ehhh. But after watching you use them I gave them another try and let me tell you it was a game changer. I learn so much from your cards because you make it look so easy and I like the simplicity of your cards. Plus when you make cards you keep it real and I feel like I can do them too.
Beautiful card. Cathy, you're my favourite & there's some stiff competition, as you know, but you are a true joy. Thanks for all you do, it's fantastic stuff. You inspire me so much & I may well have stopped cardmaking without you. Hope you're having a happy festive holiday :) x
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful, simple card, Cathy!!! Keep doin' what you're doin"--oops, I forgot. No cliches in the new year. :-D Really though, thanks for bringing this retired senior such joy. I agree it's "joy" therapy when I'm in my craft space, no matter the outcome.
I watched the entire video and realized how much I love watching you! You give some kind of warmth. Thank you ❄️❄️❄️
Wow, thank you!
Thank you Cathy, your videos have been a recharging creative force in my Life! It's been a tough year. Watching you has helped me get my mojo back, I'm crafting again!!!
Well Miss Cathy.... you bring us joy as well! I fail at techniques constantly....but I plug away and put my twist on it. And it always seems to bring me joy! Love ya girl and Happy New Year to you! More creating.... more joy! 💕🙋♀️
Thanks, Terri!
Love your videos and the elegance that you bring to your designs.💕
Linda, New Zealand, I love the way you work, I love the way you don't have a "craft room", you are so real.❣
Hello down in NZ! You have a beautiful country. Visited in 2006 and LOVED it!
Cathy, you brighten my day! I love your down-to-earth attitude, your creative “sound effects,” and your card designs. And I must add, that is the most glamorous Chuckie tool I have seen. Woe is me, I only have a dry erase board eraser🤷♀️! I will have to up my game and try to make a more elegant Chuckie tool one of these days. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to watching you in the new year. BTW, this card is one of my favorites💕
It's a gorgeous thing!
Cathy I think you are fantastic. I am new to card making. I started during the 2020 shutdown. I luv luv luv watching your videos because you are so down to earth. I love your personality. You are funny and entertaining while teaching us new techniques. I hope you and your family had a VERY Merry Christmas and have a WONDERFUL New Year in 2021. I look forward to seeing and learning from more of your videos. You are a SPECIAL lady, Keep keeping it real.
Hi Cathy! I loved your winter card! I am going to try it now! I also love how down to earth you are-wearing pj's and no makeup! I also love your sense of humor! Thank you for making me laugh during a hard time...
Funny -- I'd just thinking the same thing, in reverse. So grateful for you and what you've added to our sanity and relaxation and knowledge this year, but mostly just for the humanity and creativity of it all. Very best to us all in the new year, and that Debbie (and her husband) -- so nice. More of that in the world!
Thank you, Lee! I have really enjoyed making videos, and especially in this strange year!
I just love you Cathy. You're my inspiration! Keep your videos coming, I love watching you create!!!
Cathy, I am just beyond excited. I got a gell plate for Christmas along with Acrylic paint to use with it. Plus I just started following Lavinia stamps last week. So to hear you like them as well, I know we will be seeing amazing stuff and ideas. Thank you so much.
Cathy, you just brighten my day, with every video. I take your lessons to heart and I have throughly enjoyed getting to know you this year. 💗💗💗💗
I love your chuckie
My hubby lost his Mom at Halloween and she was a crafter as well. I had been telling hubby I wanted him to make me a Chuckie as well. When going through his Mom's stuff he brought me back a fairly large round rock that she had made into a Lady bug. So I was given this with a felt bottom to use when stamping. I love the idea of keeping her memory with me when I craft.
I love that. And am sorry for his loss.
Hi ..Thankyou for being real..I have issues with depression & anxiety but when I watch you create I feel like I can get back in there & do it...🥰 Happy New Year 2021 May you have good health , happiness & love all year long 👍🇦🇺🥰
Hey Pattie, well I am glad to hear that. I have dealt with anxiety this fall for the first time in my adult life. It has been eye opening and not fun, to be honest. May you have a peaceful new year.
Watching Tracey do Lavinia got me to also get a soft roller and a Gelli plate this fall but have yet to use them . Thank you , I'm now inspired to give this a whirl.
I too am a middle aged crafter and i appreciate you putting yourself out there and being real. I'm grateful for YOU!
I always enjoy your videos & your fun personality! Your card is beautiful! I got my gel press last year (2 years ago?! 🤷♀️) & have yet to try it! Thanks for this encouraging “you can do it” video! Also, before you turned the bird over, I thought it was a tiny hand with the index finger pointing up, like “We’re number one!” 😂 ☝️
Lol! Now I will think "We're number one!) every time I see it!
Oh Cathy...I appreciate you soo much! Being bedbound I "live" in my "jammies! " I adore Jennifer, Kristina and a few others too but find that these RA hands just can't emulate the amazing creations they all post...and that's ok....but I don't find myself as intimidated with your projects. For that and soo much more...I thank you. May 2021 bring you and your family good health, love, laughter and an abundance of joy. Love and hugs from Melbourne, Australia xxx
That is nice for me to hear because I do want people to be able to replicate these ideas. Sending you light and love!
I love that card! I have a die set that is similar to that, but it's all one piece. I never thought about cutting it apart, but I may try that and see what I can make with it. Thanks for your videos! I am always in my pjs when I watch!! Your comfort counts!
This card is beautiful and the background is gorgeous. I see from the comments that I am not the only one who snorted my beverage all over my table at your 1% comment as I laughed right out loud. I am also in my pj's wearing no makeup and I just want to say Thank You! Thank you for being a huge bright light in a not so fun year.
Love the gelly plate technique, thanks for demonstrating. Adorable card and I know your friend will appreciate it.
Cathy I love your creativity, but your personality is really what brings me back. You are a hoot! 🙂
This is the first video of yours that I have watched, but I am now a subscriber. You are hilarious and self-deprecating. I love that you craft from your dining room. I have seen your name and heard your name mentioned by Kristina, Jennifer and others. I love your designs. I have many of your products. So glad to get to virtually know the talented person behind the products.
Love your cards , but love watching you too .even if I’m not in the best of moods you lift my spirit just listening to you . Thank you for that. ( lifting my mood lol ) have a safe and happy New Year Kathy .x
Wow, thank you
Crafting and jammies, good combination and the way I usually craft! What a great idea use the gel plate to do your background. I just bought one of those and a brayer after watching Lavinia Stamps also. Now I need to start using them. Thank you for the fun videos this year and looking forward to seeing more in 2021! Happy New Year to you, Cathy, and may this be a better year for all of us!
Thanks so much! 😊
What a wonderful channel of fun and creativity you offer us. :-) Your card is awesome and I learned so much from you today about the gel press. I was given one a year ago and only today (thanks!) do I "get" how it works. Lol I'll be back for more help and fun for sure. Thank you so much.
I LOVE that you're in your pajamas. I love your videos. Thank you for creating and sharing with us.
😊 thank you
What a lovely surprise to find you had done a video today. I too spent the afternoon in my pj’s creating some art. Such a coincidence that you have discovered Lavinia Stamps too, I’ve binge watched Jo Rice this week. Her technique is completely different but, like you, she’s a natural artist & wonderful presenter. Her mirror technique with the mushrooms, and the tag she did on Christmas Eve are my favourites. I was interested to see you had a gel plate and brayer, I thought it might prove rather messy, but your controlled use was very helpful. Thank you for helping 2020 be so much brighter.
I wish you a happy & healthy New Year.
What a beautiful card!! Now I have to dig out my unopened gel plate, if I can find it! Ordered that die set early this morning from Sunny Studio Studio Stamps & they shipped it 1.5 hrs later! I have followed you since your scrapbooking days & you have always been so real in how long something takes, the problems you encounter doing techniques, etc. Keep being you & screw the turds. They are just unhappy with their life anyway!
Enjoy and yes, screw the turds! Let's have fun!
Cathy, I love your videos (and of course the cards), they entertain and inform at the same time. You are so right when you said, the joy of card making is and should be a joy. If it stops being a joy, then why are we doing it? Thanks again for sharing with us all. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for encouraging me to try new things. You bring a bright light in my world. My 95 yr old mama is dying from a rare cancer. You never know what you mean to me. Thank you.
Oh Donna, I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending you love during a difficult time.
I’ve been following you since the old scrapbook days. You were just a kiddo with short dark hair and your kids were little. You’re a classic. Have enjoyed watching your card transition. 😉 This card is so soft and pretty.
Karen, I have definitely been around the crafty realm for a while! lol! I have so enjoyed this transition. SO very much.
Love the idea of digging out some old goodies from the stash and just having fun creating. Thanks for sharing your ideas, your “oopsies” and your sense of humor (1%!). You have been s huge help as we all weather this storm (too cliche?) together. Cheers for a healthy and happy 2021!
Just found you a couple days ago....I have subscribed.....you have made my day.....love your videos
My craft room is mostly the kitchen table and counters. I'm in basement suite of my brothers home
Just moved here recently.....it was a good move for me but sad to leave my home of 33 years.....will continue
To watch.....thank you
Welcome, Barbara! Glad you found me!
Beautiful! I’m grateful for you, love your ideas and your humor!!
Thank you so much!
People like the content because you’re AWESOME
Hi, Lovely video. As a brand new cardmaker I find this so inspiring. You hit home with what you said! JOY! Someone told me why make a card that someone will just throw away? I told them this process was about me learning something new and finding JOY in creating. So when you said maybe they will keep it for 48 hrs. I felt an instant connection! Can't wait to watch more videos on your channel and learn more!
I absolutely love watching your videos/tutorials, they make me smile every single time. I love your attitude to life/craft and all your techniques most things I would never have thought of, and your sense of humour just sets me up for the day many thanks cant wait for the next one. Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy 2021 xx
Thank you so much!
Love your card, I too have similar dies with the trees and deer and the jell pate and I have never used any of them. Now I am going to, with the help of your video. Thank You
A lovely card, Cathy! I have appreciated your design tips over this past year. Sometimes your eye knows what it likes, but having/knowing the theory behind it inspires one's confidence. Wishing you a peaceful, creative year.
And we are grateful for you Cathy - keep shining. Beautiful card too x
Cathy Z you’re amazing! Thank you for inspiring and entertaining us. Watching your videos give me joy. 😊
You’re awesome 😎
Vickie W
Thank you so much!
Love your sense of humor as you create 👌
Oh my heck, how beautiful! I thought the sky was o-mazin just with the grey and the mist of water, but the blue and purple are sublime. :)
Thank you so much!
I get absolutely joy watching you and whatever you make. Thank you! 🙏
Wow, thank you!
OH!!!! You got a gelli plate!!!! They. Are. So. Much. Fun. At this point, you're still showing items you're going to use, but I was so excited, I couldn't wait, lol! I will come back and edit my comment at the end. I also have that die set, yay! And omg Lavinia!!!! I'm so geeked out right now. I use my A2 Waffle Flower dies soooooo much. They're life savers. I totally LOL'ed at 'turds' cause it's so true. And sad. I was looking at buying some patterned paper with a bokeh effect, but, after watching this, I believe I can make a similar one myself. I love love love how this turned out. I love how soft and beautiful it is. I hope you have a super new year! xoxo
Yes you can!
You just relax me and give me joy.
What a fun Christmas gift...another video! I was so disappointed when I went to get my daily fix and no one had posted today. Thanks, Cathy, for your "casual" crafting!
Happy holidays!
I love your attitude Cathy, you’re so normal in a good way! Xx
I love the card you made. You crack me up. I love your honesty in creating.
Glad you enjoyed it!
By far one of my favourite people, you definitely make me happy with your videos and you always inspire me, thank you.
Wow, thank you!
What a beautiful card Cathy!! I absolutely love the background colors you chose, and the glitter was such a great idea! Thank you for sharing and always inspiring me and so many others! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!!😊❤️
Thank you! You too!
Pretty card! I have a similar die set, not a gel press, but still am inspired to see if I can recreate the basic idea. Thank you!
Thank YOU, Cathy Zielske!! Your videos bring me joy and definitely inspire me to create. Keep ‘em coming, clichés and all.
I'm so glad!
Your videos bring me joy! Thank you!
I hope you realize after reading all these awesome comments just how much joy your bring us! Whenever I see a notification for one of your videos I know I am going to have a laugh or two. As I was watching this video I realized I was smiling the entire time! I love the card and that gorgeous background, I will have to get my gel plate out and attempt to make one as pretty as yours.
Happy New Year, I hope it is both happy and healthy as well as crafty! ❤️
Happy new year and thank YOU! Taking a little break but videos will be back on the 5th!
I love your cliches! Thanks once again for sharing your ideas with us Cathy. Love your PJ’s, isn’t it wonderful to have the capability to craft for thousands of people in your PJ’s at your dining room table?
It really is!
Great card! I love watching you create!
I love it when you "get wild"!!! Great video. Love your card. You make everything look easy and thanks for showing these techniques!!
What a sweet card. This was fancy schmancy! I loved watching to see how you'd employ this technique and the card is just beautiful. Peaceful. Happy new year Cathy and family. Thanks for the videos, inspiration, and giggles.
Thank you so much!
I know if I'm having a rough day I can just click on your UA-cam channel to get my happy back! Love this card and comments. FYI, Wendy Vecchi has a fantastic tool from Ranger called Make Art. A metal platform with magnets to hold your card in place for stenciling or blending etc .Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Stay-tion in 2 sizes. She is a marvelous card maker and offers tips, like you! Hope it was OK to mention her. Keep on creating and talking to us or yourself to keep me sane, thank you.
Love ❤️ seeing you do new crafty stuff too. Beautiful 😍 card. I am glad you finally got a Chuck it tool like I recommended for you to make. Yay 😀 I am glad you finally took my advice and are happy that your hubby made you one. I love mine too cause I have carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists and I have CRPS 2 in my hands and arms. So the Chuck it tool works amazing.
I love it!
Your card making is always so much fun! Love your videos and lots of good tips too! I'm a scrapbooker but I have really enjoyed making cards! I still do my scrapbooks but they have taken a back seat lately!
I'm so glad!
I had considered making my own "Chucky" tool, but found a dry erase eraser that was very inexpensive and got that, instead. It wouldn't work for you with your wrist issues but it's been a great help for me, especially stamping sentiments so I don't over press in some areas and under press in others. I think I'm going to have to start following Kristina Warner's example of making sketches of card ideas and listing the products down so I remember *why* I "needed" that stamp or die. 😆
Good idea!
Beautiful card as always! You are so inspiring! And you always make me laugh. Thank you for sharing yourself and what you do!❤
You are so welcome
Thanks for video. I was getting bored during the holiday lockdown and you inspired me to make a card for someone. Love your videos and comments. Joyful. Merry Christmas
Happy holidays!
I started crafting cards this year and I have learned so much through watching your channel. I wanted to wish you and yours all the best for the coming year. May you keep finding joy in your crafting and in your channel too.
Thank you!
I agree wholeheartedly... BLOCK the Turds!!!
I so enjoyed this in-the-moment crafting session! Those colors combined for a gorgeous winter sky, and I love the addition of snow and glitter.Thank you ever so much for the fun crafting lessons that have been a bright spot during this year of uncertainty. Happy day after Christmas and best wishes for a healthy 2021!
