Hi friends! Happy Tuesday and happy CZ Design release day! We’re honored to be your one stop shop and make these exclusive cool collaboration of stamps and dies with Cathy Zielske available for you!

HOLLA!  YAH! HELLO!  I can totally hear Cathy saying these things (Do you watch her instagram?! SO FUNNY!)  What do you think of these new designs?

In celebration of the new release, Cathy created this gorgeous card below. We hope it inspires you!  Guess who inspired her to make this card!? It’s one of our OG Simon designers!

Hi everyone! It’s Cathy Z. here and I’m super excited to be sharing a card with you today because today I’ve got a whole slew of new releases in the store!

My card today features my new “Hello You” sentiment stamp set and I made a simple one-layer card completely inspired by the one and only Kristina Werner and a card she recently made that I adore.

I didn’t have the exact supplies that Kristina used, so I decided to improvise and just use what I had on hand. As a new card maker, my stash of supplies is still growing and I have some really good basics (like a set of nested heart dies) that helped me to get started on making my own version of her charming card.

Here’s a short video that shows you how!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

This is the first time I’ve ever used masking paper and I have to say I might just be hooked! It really is magical to do your stamping and pull off the paper to see the crisp, clean shape you’ve created courtesy of your die.

Doing the card also reminded me that even if your stamping isn’t perfect, the end result can still be beautiful! So embrace those little mistakes and make the most of them!

Thanks for reading (and watching!) today and thanks to Kristina, as always, for her amazing ideas!
