What beautiful, classic cards!!! I love all of them, especially your beautiful foiled cards. Loved seeing you make these from the new kit, Cathy. It’s now day before Thanksgiving when I watch this, so Happy Thanksgiving to you, we’re thankful for the inspiration you share each time! 🦃 😊 💌
My favorite is the wreath (the dots on the berries is what won me over), and my second favorite is the Santa. Thanks for sharing all of your creativity!
The 14th day of the month has become my favorite day. It's the day we get to see the month's card kit and usually your video unboxing it. Then I must patiently, who am I kidding 🤣, impatiently wait on my box to arrive! I love getting this in the mail each month. As my husband says, "It's your happy mail!" Thank you, Cathy, for these videos which inspire and motivate. You're the best!!
I haven't even finished watching the video, but as soon as you finished the unboxing I ordered the card kit and LOVE the first two cards. I might actually make cards this time rather than just watching videos. I love them!
Such pretty cards! I was thinking the leftover Santa from the patterned paper on the first card, while the tag was adorbs, would be great for a mini slimline card! The last card with the long red strip sentiment....that embossed stamped area would be so pretty in silver!! Great ideas here! You got my brain all fired up lol. TYFS ❤️💜🦋❄️🌲
Beautiful cards and tag, Cathy! I would have to say my favorite is Santa. I am glad you changed his eye color. How would it look with a little white dot in his eyes? The other cards are still beautiful. I love your unboxings. You always are so excited and it matches how excited I get when mine finally arrives. Thank you so much for all the ideas you show us.🎅
Wow, Cathy! Thanks for the inspiration! I love that you pulled out the Minc machine in this video and the Zig markers in a recent video! I almost forgot I had those things and I now find myself pulling them out of their storage spots! It’s like you’re trying to get the band back together! All we need are some gelatos and a xyron machine and we’re all set! 😁 Thanks again! Take Care!
Love all your cards as always Cathy! I love this kit and would love to get it, but don’t have the money right now. Love the 6 x 8 step set! So many wonderful stamps are on that set. 😊 I’ll have to invest in the stamp set (and the cute Santa die) at the beginning of December when I get paid again. Probably the kit will be gone by the time I get another check! 🤣. I’m going to be working on some cards that I will post to my other channel hopefully this week with products I could get at a discount. I will be so glad when I can get back to work after the holidays so that I can purchase more product to do things with. For now, I do with what I can. 😉. TFS!
Fantastic cards Cathy. This kit is stunning & you did an amazing job with it (as always!). So many beautiful yet simple cards. Thank you for the inspiration.
Six cards in under an hour plus the unboxing - I'm impressed! While I love the first card, I thought #5 would be my fave, but I have to choose the final card because it's just so pretty and simple and easy and elegant and......well, you get the idea!
Hi. For double-sided papers, I truly wish there was only single-sided patterned papers/card stock so we could use each design in our projects. As per usual I love your cards! Love this kit! I really want the embossing folder! I want…I want…sigh. 😊❤️🇨🇦
The whole time you were doing blue eyes on Santa I’m sitting saying Cathy, black eyes black eyes lol. I already the dies, waiting for my kit. Thanks for sharing!
That kit is amazing! You really get a lot of stuff in there! I love the nostalgic look of the fawn. It's very sweet. I absolutely love the Santa! It is just amazing!
I don't have one handy right now. I will do something like that in the new year. As I have a bit more experience now, I want to make sure it's a good list. I did do this one: th-cam.com/video/iOfTMoRrlMI/w-d-xo.html It might be helpful!
Really love what you have made with the foil an heat machine. Is there another way to do the same without the heat machine in heat gun? Dimity from Australia
You can use a regular office laminator, but to do this without heat. It is also possible to do if what you are transferring the foil two is a sticky surface! then you just run it through your die cut machine and the pressure transfers it.
I loved all the cards you made today. I was heat embossing today and it felt gritty everywhere. Do you have any suggestions for me. I do it like I see you do it.
@@czdesign heating it is not the problem. The grit is all over my work space. I did watch the video of yours from the day before and you used a swifter cloth. Actually the next two videos that I watched of yours you used a swiffer cloth. I don’t have any at this time but they are on order. I hope that solves my problem. ❤️❤️❤️
Love that kit. Just what do u do with the foil when u don't have the machine or never used foil before. Plus I notice different kind of plates for your Gemini. If u don't mind are they better bc it seem u only used 2 plates instead of all the other ones. Thanks again for sharing your card making. 🙂
You can use just pressure with this particular foil! You just run it through your die cut machine between your plates. I use two green doubled sided die cutting plates from Crafters Companion, taped inside two clear plates. And I only cut into one plate, leaving the other one clean. I flip the green cut plate when it gets to mucky, and use the clean side until it gets too mucky! Learned it from Jennifer McGuire. I have the plates linked on my blog!
@Cathy Zielske thank you so much for the help bc the plates they give u get so bad and seem like we use more plates than. what yours looked like unless I am wrong. But thank you so much for the info. I love your videos and u are funny...lol you have a great weekend..
What is the anti static tool that you use in this video? Also I love all your videos and I get so much inspiration from you!! Thank you for doing what you do❤❤❤!!
Where did you get that little lazy Susan got your Gemini? Coolest idea!!! I haven’t been crafting for quite a while so I must have missed something. Please tell me!! Ty
It’s called the Rotating Design Board: ldli.co/e/3op67ze I try to always list all the links for the products I use in the TH-cam description box below the video 😊
I love the Santa card and the wreath! It almost makes me want to get the kit, but I have more supplies than time right now, so I can’t add to the pile. But the temptation is real…
The December kit is so pretty! I’m still waiting for my October and November kits. Not holding my breath that December will arrive in a timely fashion. I love these kits but waiting until the following month is a pain
I wonder if there is anything to unclog the metal glue rod. For some reason it seems to clog up and I don't know what the cause is. I don't leave the cover off. I really like them for intricate details...

Yay! Thank you!
"I swallowed the boop" 🤣 I'm dying!! 😆😂
You ROCK Cathy! My grand daughter who is four always says "Boop" when I put down a sequin now that she has seen your videos!
Hi. I think a quick boop session is cheery for all ages! 😄
@@deballen7031 I think so too!
Beautiful cards, Cathy! Thanks so much!
I haven't even finished watching the video, but as soon as you finished the unboxing I ordered the card kit and LOVE the first two cards. I might actually make cards this time rather than just watching videos. I love them!
Once again you made some beautiful cards Cathy. Love them all. I always look forward to your monthly unboxing💜💜🎅🏼🎄

The cards are all very beautiful. I love the simplicity of them. Thank you for sharing 💕💕💕
OMG I love this kit so vintage and full of childhood memories for this 60 something gal! Thanks Cathy.
I really enjoyed watching you make your cards out of the kit. They are gorgeous. I cannot wait to receive my kit. Have a lovely week. ❤️❤️❤️

You nailed it, they are all so very pretty.
Thanks, friend!
Beautiful cards! Love these and now you have enabled me once again. LOL. Thanks Cathy. Have a great day!
I love how excited you get when you open a new box! Maybe another video with a few cards from the patterned paper? You are so inspiring.
Wow, Cathy! Thanks for the inspiration! I love that you pulled out the Minc machine in this video and the Zig markers in a recent video!

I can’t wait to get my kit. I’m unable to choose my favorite card. They are all so special. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I just love how you talk to yourself while creating your cards. They all are gorgeous! Thanks
Great cards, Cathy! Are you loving our first snowfall?
Yes! Because I didn't have to shovel yesterday. hahaha
Love all the clean, simple and elegant cards. Just beautiful!
Love, love, love!! I still say craft, slash dining room😄😄
Oh Cathy, you never fail to inspire. Can't wait to get my kit and try some of your ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.
You sold me on this kit. Just ordered through your link. Thx Cathy!
Hope you love it and thank you!
Love all your inspiration neat, classy cards! You need to get the new hot hands from Simon Says they are adorable and are cuter than a clothpin LOL!
I love these cards! That santa is so cute.
I really love your fussy cut sentiments! But that floating Santa head is too cute! I love the added sparkles on that! Beautiful cards! Thank you!
Love all your cards as always Cathy! I love this kit and would love to get it, but don’t have the money right now. Love the 6 x 8 step set!

This is a great kit and loved what you did with it. That Santa is really reaching out to me. I love his face. Thanks for your tips and techniques.
Gorgeous Cathy! The red and white theme is fabulous. LOVE them all xoxo
Fantastic cards Cathy. This kit is stunning & you did an amazing job with it (as always!). So many beautiful yet simple cards. Thank you for the inspiration.
Beautiful card. Great kit. Thank you.
Boy do I love those transfer sheets. Beautiful makes. Thank you Cathy. x
I love all the cards that you made with the kit. I especially like what you did with the wreath card!
Santa is adorable. The additional twinkles are perfect!
Omg. That stamp set is over the top. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Some pretty snazzy designs. Great variety.

Hi. Super cards and as always, loving the boops! That velvet paper looks like fun to play with. Thanks for sharing this great video tutorial.
Love Love the Santa! So sweet!
Just that little bit of red mat made such a difference. So pretty, CZ
Ty some very inspiring christmas cards. Love them.
Hi CZ, I watched replay, one of these days I hope I can catch you live! Great video…..love the lumberjack plaid❤
“Santa... glow up!” 🎅💡🎅
Any suggestion when embossing on black (color) card stock? I use the anti-static tool and little bits still stick. thanks
I would say just REALLY powder it up with the antistatic… as in a good coating and… keep a brush handy to brush away little bits. : )
They all look gorgeous xxx
That kit is amazing! You really get a lot of stuff in there! I love the nostalgic look of the fawn. It's very sweet. I absolutely love the Santa! It is just amazing!
Love to watch as you open the box. Wonderful cards
Great cards Cathy!!! I love watching these unboxing videos with you! You are so creative!!! Thank you for sharing!
I think the Merry and Bright is my favorite.
That Santa is so adorable! And, in case you were concerned, I did insert "boops" for all the berries.
I meant "that Santa CARD is so adorable." Yes, the die is cute, but your card made it adorable!
Such a fun kit will have to go order. Such pretty cards
I think some wink of stella would look nice on santas beard
All were beautiful.
This makes me want to pull out my powders and ink and try some emboss resist again. I haven’t done it in a while.
Wow! Cathy six cards …I have trouble trying to come up with one. Beautiful cards. I don’t have a favorite I love them all. 👍
Do you have a supply list for beginners to card making. I need a start list please…. I want it all! 🥰❤️
I don't have one handy right now. I will do something like that in the new year. As I have a bit more experience now, I want to make sure it's a good list.

Lovely cards! The kit is so fabulous, I thought maybe this wasn’t our monthly kit.
Where did you get the sparkle on Santa?? I loved them.
Do you mean the little twinkles? They are part of the die! It cuts out some for his face, but I cut extras!
Love all the cards, so elegant! Thanks!
What about blue glitter in his eyes to make them twinkle?
I love using patterned paper on the back of my cards to make every side pretty and to provide some bulk.
What a nice idea!
Cathy, thanks for the inspiration! I’m looking forward to receiving my box and trying it all out!!!
Got called away in the middle so finished watching replay tonight - I love these cards
I loved all the cards you made today. I was heat embossing today and it felt gritty everywhere. Do you have any suggestions for me. I do it like I see you do it.
Gritty on where you heated it? Sometimes it gets lumpy and bumpy and maybe it's the powder? What powder are you using?
@@czdesign heating it is not the problem. The grit is all over my work space. I did watch the video of yours from the day before and you used a swifter cloth.

I just got my November kit a few days ago. Now I gotta wait another month to get this one. So excited to get it.

Very pretty cards and love your new studio.

Have fun!

These are all gorgeous. What a beautiful kit. ♥️♥️♥️
The December kit is so pretty!
I’m still waiting for my October and November kits. Not holding my breath that December will arrive in a timely fashion.
I love these kits but waiting until the following month is a pain
I hope they arrive soon… i'm surprised. Are you in the US?
Ordered my kit this morning. The holiday kits always sell out quick
Do you ever use black powder instead of clear, it’s a lot more intense.
I never do! I should!
Beautiful cards Cathy! I love this kit.
I decided I didn’t want this kit, but i must say you have made it look very appealing and i love your fussy cutting
I wonder if there is anything to unclog the metal glue rod. For some reason it seems to clog up and I don't know what the cause is. I don't leave the cover off. I really like them for intricate details...
I wipe mine down after each use and use a corsage pin instead of the cap.
Awesome kit and cards!! Love your ideas Cathy. ❤
