  • [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.

    • @czdesign

    I really love that you explain the card elements in terms of design. I follow other crafters on TH-cam, and it they don't really explain why they chose certain colors, textures, etc. They just make it seem like instinct, which doesn't help when I go to make a card.
    Thank you!!!

    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!

    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! 💛🌼🧡

    Cathy, you are so WONDERFUL and BRAVE...designing live, I'm sure, is quite stressful but you know what, this was sooooo beneficial to me! I can't wait for your next educational tutorial in this series because I just want to get better with design theory. Thank you so much and until next time....

    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

      Hey Melissa, it is weird… i don't know how TH-cam 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, TH-cam seems to then push you down in recommendations. It's a strange land but… happy you found me!

    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  4 ปีที่แล้ว +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?

    Cathy, I’m have been binge watching all of your TH-cam 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.

    I love watching the process it helps me know I’m not crazy with my own process. Loved the card. One thing I’ve found is if my sentiment goes over my design my design reaches evenly eg top and bottom. If I’m setting it of below as you have done I create a little white space for that sentiment strip. Love your work

    This has been a fun video! I love it. Regarding the sentiment: I love it on the flowers because of the rule of thirds I learned from your 10-Min Design chats. I also think it great off of the flowers because it helps your eyes flow up the card and it gives your eyes something to rest on without translating all the colors. Thank you for starting this new series! I can't wait to see the next one. Cheers!

    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!

    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💛

    So I watched the live video today and loved it! I've been trying to reorganize my craft room for the 1000th time, when I came across some BORDER STAMPS! I mean...flat out nothing but pretty border stamps you could supposedly use across your card somewhere. Another one of my impulsive purchases before I really knew that I wouldn't be able to come up with an idea how to use them. I don't know if you have any or could or would even want to come up with a "why did I buy that border stamp, now what? video. Just thought I would throw that out there lol!!

    • @czdesign
      @czdesign  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh boy! I have almost NO border stamps but that is probably because I came later to card making!

      @@czdesign that's okay!! I don't even remember when I started making cards! I know it was a long long time ago. I was scrapbooking and then I had scrapbooked my 3 children. I was thinking..now what do I do with all this crap!! Then I discovered card making and thought..well..yes..I could use the same supplies for cards! It was all downhill from there! I got sucked into the cardmaking world rabbit hole lol! I'm trying to stop purchasing and start making more. I have visions of my children when I pass saying "what the hell are we going to do with all this "?

      I can date when I started but only because I bought a magazine and saved it! 1992 - and, really, way before the advent of TH-cam. We had bulletin boards, and demos, but they posted photos before and we did basically chat. Now, of course, you can find anything to do with card making online. I really like this idea of hearing the thought process behind the finished product. Enlightening. Ty!

    @juliewexler380 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    So great to watch your process. You're right- there is no wrong decision-- both sentiment locations will work, but they result in a different vibe. I personally like the separation as everything else overlaps, so I like the distinction in the sentiment standing alone. Additionally, the message-- especially in this time-- is simple yet powerful, and it jumps out more this way. I typed the above while you were deciding, and it looks like you landed in the same place! Love it! Thanks, Cathy! Looking forward to more of these!

Oh, and in my thoroughly unprofessional opinion, I definitely think you made the right decision on the sentiment placement!

    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!
