Oh Cathy! You captured my creative heart sooooo well today! My fave colors, simple elegance, minimal interference from a lot of supplies, I LOVE these cards!! You took my hohum day and turned on my card making enthusiasm! Thank you so much, just what I needed, when I needed it!! 💕
YES. THIS. This is what you do SO well. Clean and simple; design principals; white space; done on tone. Proportions. With lots of alternative uses, step up with glimmer suggested. This your excellency. Thank you for a great teaching video in your own style and expertise. These are lovely. Yay Cathy!!
I absolutely love, love, love all three cards! They are absolutely gorgeous! Side note: Cathy, I’m so glad you started your personal card channel as a true card making newbie. The fact that someone who studied design in college, professionally works as a designer with many well known card supply manufacturers, and had years of experience as a scrapbook artist prior to taking up card making, acknowledged that doing something new can be intimidating. Your channel is extremely empowering because you demonstrated that, like any new endeavor (even if it’s kissing cousins with your current profession), a new skill set requires regular time and practice to develop proficiency.
These are great Cathy. I have a tendency to overthink sometimes. Appreciate the clarity and concept of instruction. Every little bit helps. 😊 These will work great for mass producing. Thank you!
I have a hard time with simple, but I LOVE how these turned out. I can’t wait to try these ideas for some of my Christmas cards. Thanks Cathy for sharing such wonderful inspiration.
Hi Cathy, I love the simplicity of each card. Your expertise in graphic design certainly shows with these gorgeous cards. It takes the hard work and makes it easy . I truly love all three cards. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us today. Have a wonderful weekend hun. ❤️❄️❤️❄️❤️❄️
WOW! Lovely cards, Cathy. I just bought the dies. I bought the stamp a few days ago and by seen you how easier will be to create my cards having both. Muchas gracias.😍
I just love your clean and simple card making. Your teaching and techniques will help anyone feel comfortable making their own cards. Thank you again for sharing your talents!
Really beautiful is this why some people have an easier time lining up a die cut after stamping on the Misty. Then they can line the cut out spot, up perfetly, then just add your white diecuts and stamp a slew of them.
Awesome cards. I like the tone on tone. I hardly ever do that but surely will in the future. Love these embossing folders. Thanks for your tips and techniques.
Cathy, this has helped me out so much, I was pulling the hair out of my head. I have sooooo many Christmas stamps and dies that I don’t know where to begin. Everything doesn’t have to be red and green, that was a big one for me. Those cards are very elegant btw. Tysm
Thanks for these fun ideas. I love that these tips can be incorporated into any card project! Shimmer spray might be a fun way to add sparkle to the snowflake backgrounds. Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️
Beautiful cards. I love the delicate colors you used for Christmas cards. What die did you use to make the V cut at the end of your banner in the blue snowflake card?
