This Simple Sentiments No. 01 is my favorite CZ Design stamp set. What’s yours? Be sure to visit our store to see all 4!
There will be wafer dies coming soon to coordinate with many of her designs.
I love these cards below that Cathy has created (notice the sentiments are from her collection). It’s hard to believe she’s only caught the card making bug so recently!
I think you’ll really love Cathy’s personality and charm. Her blog is relatable and makes me giggle almost every time I read it. Be sure to pop over. Please. I’d love for you to see Cathy’s charm and wit.
But that’s not all folks, Cathy teaches online classes too! If you’re interested in an online class that’s created to be fun, informative and highly do-able, make sure you check out Cathy’s online class library!
Cathy has recently gotten hooked on stamping. (I can relate to being hooked!, can you!?) Let’s welcome her with open arms. Please use the comment section here and on Cathy’s blog to welcome her and tell her what YOU love about stamping. We will be reading the comments and select random people on our Simon Says Stamp blog next week to win her new stamps *that are coming in Mid May.
Happy Fri-YAY! It’s great having you with us today!

Welcome! These sentiments are so fun and unique! I love creating different styles of cards for different recipients :)
Wow – just took a look at her blog and am in love with the sentiment stamps and the Salty Ladies set – WONDERFUL! I love all things paper crafting, and how versatile stamps are – I am definitely getting at least one of those sets soon for myself!
BTW – I presume that the stamps being called “…. No. 1” would imply that there is more to come, right? YAY!
Finally, stamps for how I talk, yes, Salty Ladies, OMG! Gotta have that one. So funny I nearly fell off my chair. My friends will know exactly who made the card, so funny. Thanks for making my day!
Yay! Welcome! :D

Yay! I did not know Cathy teaches online classes. I love that anyone can stamp and create awesome cards!
So happy to hear she caught the stamping bug!!! Love her cards and can’t wait to see more.
I must own them all. I just cannot live without the first two sets in my collection.

Just the quick look at the sentiments that were shown on this post had me grinning. Can’t wait to see the rest! :)
Welcome Cathy! Cute cards and great sentiments!
Yay! I’ve been a fan for years! Loved her first card video! Welcome Cathy!
Welcome to the Simon Says line, Cathy.
Your sentiments are fantastic.
The Salty Lady and Simple Sentiments
sets fit my idea of a fun
sentiment for my greeting
cards. I’m not into sugar-coated
sayings – I’d rather be playful and
disrespectful (in a good way).
Looking forward to more fun with
you.
Yay! Welcome Cathy to the SSS family!!! Love so much your adorable cards and these stamps!!! <3
Welcome Cathy!! I have admired Cathy in the digital world for years. It is fun that she is making cards and I am looking forward to watching how she bridges the two. Her sentiments may not appeal to me, but I enjoy what she is doing with her cardmaking.
So thrilled to see this! Cathy IS the reason I know about Simon Says Stamp, never knew about this world before! Seems like a perfect partnership for growth for both! Congratulations Cathy, you go!
Welcome Cathy! Love the sentiment set. So fun and unique. Love the cards too.
I’m looking forward to this collaboration! Congrats, everyone!
Love these cards! Welcome, CZ! Looking forward to more!
Welcome Cathy! I like how you can give people the same stamps and supplies and many different and unique projects are created.
Awesomness. Cathy (and her attitude) are the bomb. These stamps are perfection.
OMG I just love Cathy’s sense of humour and her designs…must have! So excited to see what else she does. So much fun!
Welcome, Cathy! These card are so adorable and I love the new sentiments set. Congrats to you.
Congrats on your new partnership. I love that her stuff has stepped over the edge. (I checked out her website). I love your stuff, but sometimes I want things that just are not your mainstream safe cup of tea.
Best wishes to you both.
Love the idea of edgier stamps. I’m sure it’s not everyone’s cup of tea (as evidenced in some of the above comments). I applaud SSS for giving us a variety of products to fit a variety of personalities. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it! I personally will be checking out what fabulous things Miss Cathy has to offer us. I’ll also be checking out her blog for some good giggles!
Sassy and sweet, perfect together!
So happy that Cathy has “discovered” the fun of making cards!
It’s like two of my besties are becoming besties! Doesn’t get any better than that.
Having been aware of CZ from the scrapping world for a long time, it was such a joy to witness the lightbulb come on with cardmaking! I especially look forward to future saltier sentiments!!! You go, girl!
Wonderful news!Congratulations on this new partnership!I’m looking forward to the new products and ideas! :)
Congrats on joining forces! Can’t get any better for both and looking forward to all new things!
Welcome and Congrats…so excited for you both as a designer but also a card maker. It is a wonderful hobby that touches so many lives and brings happiness and comfort to those who receive our cards.
Hi Cathy! Welcome and warm wishes! I have only been Card making for about a year. I love creating thank you cards and encouragement cards because everyone needs a compliment to remind them how great they are!
Hi Cathy – welcome to the SSS family!
I love stamping and card making because one, it’s fun!, 2. it’s relaxing & 3. the people I give my cards to seem to really love getting a handmade card (& that makes me very happy!).

Hi – I think my comment didn’t post. Just wanted to say ‘YEAY!’ – I love CZ’s design aesthetic – especially since I’m not into cutesy critters. Can’t wait to see more!!!
Also wanted to ask you to check your YTers and bloggers for new FTC guidelines on disclosures of free merch. Really important. https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2017/04/ftc-staff-reminds-influencers-brands-clearly-disclose
How exciting! I’m def a fan and the sentiment sets are cracking me up!
I meant to add I love stamping for so many including how it relaxes me, how I am able to express myself creatively and how I get to share my art with so many through sending my cards?
Welcome Kathy! I haven’t visited your blog yet but I appreciate this chance to get to know you and your awesome job! I love both cards. TFS
Welcome to the world of stamping Cathy! I stamp on pretty much every project I do. Love your new sentiment stamp. I think I have a few friends I could use the ” HB beyotch” stamp for.
Love the sassy saying! Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Congrats, Cathy!! I’ve been following you on IG and your journey has had me cracking up at times (especially your shopping!). Look forward to seeing Cathy’s stamp sets!
