In the Adorable Stamp and Die Set categories, among the first of my purchases was Lawn Fawn’s Out of this World. I know what you’re thinking, “Cathy, that makes PERFECT sense for someone like you!” And yes, you’d be right. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love outer space. (I’m joking, you get that, right?)
But honestly? The set is so stinkin’ cute, how could I not? How. Could. I. Not?
The first card I made was so adorable I decided to make a second version and turn it into a tutorial. Please… enjoy!
The thing I find interesting is that you can use the exact same inks and get a different look every time. When I made this card the first time, it was much lighter because I was afraid of ink. Silly me. Those were the good old days! (Literally a month ago!) The second version? Much richer. I like ’em both!
One thing a few of you have been asking on Instagram is where I get the plastic sleeves to store my cards.
I get them from Simon Says Stamp (and yes, I learned that they were a fun thing to have on hand from the Morpheus of Cards, Jennifer McGuire.
It is kind of cool to store a finished card and matching envelope in a sleeve and tuck it away for when you might need it.
Speaking of who will need a card, I have no idea who I will send this to. In fact, here’s the thing about me and cards right now: they don’t necessarily have intended recipients. Yes, the bonus is that I have cards ready when I need to send one, but right now, I’m just making for the sheer fun of making.
And that, my friends, feels pretty great.

I’ve watched each video thinking these are great, but I don’t need another hobby… and now I want all. the. things. Mother’s Day shopping spree?!
Keep making, keep videoing, LOVING it!
Cathy Zielske says
All. The. Things.
Indeed! (Tell me about it! lol!)
Kybarb says
I think I heard somewhere that the little space person is Lila, Jennifer McGuire’s daughter! Your cards are so cute!
Cathy Zielske says
awwww, if so, adorable!
carlajinAr says
so cute!
Cathy Zielske says
Thanks, Carla!
Jennifer Conlon says
These are adorable and now I have a new technique to try. And I LURRVVE orange and pink together.
Cathy Zielske says
Thanks, Jennifer! And yeah, me too on the pink and orange.
Francie says
I’m loving your cardmaking adventures, and I adore your commentaries.
Melissa says
You make my day!! When I watch your video’s it makes me think I TOO can be a card maker.
Can you please tell me what made you choose which items to buy? Whenever I go online to shop I just get so overwhelmed.
Cathy Zielske says
Melissa, honestly? It comes from watching YouTube card videos! lol. I see what other people are using, and I focus in on one thing (that Lawn Fawn Out of this World) and then proceed from there. Although, I should tell you, Tim Holtz is a friend of mine and he sent me a pack of Distress Inks, so I lucked out there!
Melissa says
So much cuteness. Time to stop collecting and start using! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤ and thanks for the smiles. I love your videos and candor!
Cathy Zielske says
Yes! I’m collecting AND using. So much fun.
Leanne in Cali says
You are awesome! Love the video and your cards!! Keep ’em comin’…
Kimberly O. says
Very cute!! I could even see this with the rocket attached with either a wobbler (so it wobbles) LOL or as a circle slider so that it orbits around the planet. That would be cool!!
Cathy Zielske says
Wobbler? NOW you’re talking ADVANCED! 😉
Debbie says
I am thinking of getting some of the stitched dies. I know you linked it before but I could not find it. Which 2 sets would you recommend?
Cathy Zielske says
Debbie! I forgot to add those to the supplies. I added the link up top now! It’s the Large Stitched Rectangle dies from Lawn Fawn! The best! I use them ALL the time. And that is what i used for this project !
April Z. says
This card is adorable! How smart to use the glossy accents for the helmet!!
Cathy Zielske says
I saw someone do that! Would not come have come up with that on my own. Lol!
Tami says
OK, so I replied the other day about trying cards TWICE, and it just not sticking as a hobby as much as I would have liked it to. But that Misti thing? This is the first I’ve seen it in action… I almost need to buy one and try a third time. And the die cuts go into a Sissix or something similar?
Cathy Zielske says
Yeah, that Misti? Game changer. It’s what is making stamping possible for me. And yes, the dies go into a Sizzix Big Shot, or any other die cut type of machine. I have the Big Shot! It’s linked above in my supplies. 🙂
