The two cards you created are lovely and I can’t wait until I can try my hand at these. You are so right—sentiment placement makes all the difference!

I will find a way to get some somehow though. I think your cards turned out great. I dont know the correct way to pronounce macaroons either.

    I love your style. I enjoy the fact that you are low key and give us permission to explore even if that means making bloopers. It’s ok to experiment and learn that differences can be good. Not wrong. All your cards were beautiful, but showing the different placement of the greeting made sense. I would not have thought it would draw the picture together.

To my eye, and of course I know that is why you get paid the big bucks, (LOL 🤣), the sentiment could have been moved up just a touch. Not down. Definitely not in their faces.

    Cathy,
    Loved the stamp sets very much. I did agree, once it was demonstrated about sentiment placement! Amazing how it changed how you see it! I always enjoy your channel and have learned a lot from you!
    I had ordered your Just Because and Friend dies and I love them! Use them a lot. Going to get a few more also! It’s so perfect that I’m sure no one notices mistakes/accidents!
    I too have a sailor mouth and so do my kids! You should hear my mom swear! When my brother takes her out in public , he asks her to keep it under control…lmao! I know it’s nothing to be proud of, but if I hadn’t been raised 5hat way, my feelings would have been hurt many times in the field I worked in.
    I’m a retired nurse (1 year) and worked in male prison for last 15 years. Had an inmate who would yell at me every day to suck his dick. Took it for many weeks and one day, I had had enough. As he yelled at me, I stopped turned around and said ” How about you suck mine, I’m always sucking yours”. The block busted out in laughter and never had a problem with him after that! Ha! Just a bit of sharing fir the day.

    Again, thank you for giving so much

    Hi, Cathy –
    I really love the Anita Jeram stamps from CCC. You nailed the description. They are both whimsical and charming. So dear! I would love to win either the AJ group or the B&B group. I will probably end up buying most of these anyhow in time. I left you a comment at the YT site below your video.

    I hope you keep making videos. You’re so good at helping us crafters out here in the world to know how you make your design choices and we learn about color and placement from you.

    Thanks and have a great day!

The cards as always were great and the placement of the sentiment strip is so helpful. I think we card makers have it

    I craft on my kitchen table (but we have decided to turn a spare bedroom into a craft room 🎉🎉🎉), I am middle age (what ages does that span anyway???I don’t plan on leaving it any time soon!), and a Midwesterner (spell check says that’s not a word🤔—MN is sorta Midwestern right??)

    Cathy – what a wonderful Reveal from Colorado Craft Co! I love all five sets! Look fun to color, & love that they can be used for a variety of occasions (except the Easter egg set). It’s always enjoyable to watch your videos! Oh….. macaroons (with two O’s) are coconut cookies that most often have a maraschino cherry on top. If you like coconut, you LOVE macaroons! Macarons (with one O) look kind of like small hamburgers – like the ones in the stamp set. Delicious, either way!

    Cathy, I love watching your videos. You make me want to do more things that are “outside my comfort zone” because you say you’re not always comfortable – yet you do it and it looks great. The painting of the bunny scene was so good! I have purchased water color paints (and have yet to use them) because it scares me! I have distress inks and now I AM going to try this method. Thanks for making me a bit for confident! Best to you!

    Hi Cathy! I enjoy watching your videos while I have my coffee in the mornings. I am new to card making and get so much inspiration from you. I wouldn’t consider myself artistic, but I am enjoying having something to do while we are locked down here in Canada. In November my first grandchild was born, a beautiful little girl named Roz (Rosalind). When I see the Anita Jerman stamps I think of all of the cards I can make for her in the future. I do have a couple of Anitas stamps on order from SimonSaysStamps, however they haven’t arrived yet. I love ordering from them although it takes about a month to get to Canada! Ha ha I would love a chance to win some of these cute little bunnies to make Roz some cards. I am hoping to purchase the story books as well so that she may recognize the characters during story time! Sending much love. Stay safe!

    Cathy, I’m so glad you showed what to do about the grass on the bunny picture. I was not sure if I should just put my picture closer to the bottom of the paper so that the creatures were not floating in the air, or just to color those sprigs of grass that were showing. Now I know I can go beyond the grass that is drawn in and my picture doesn’t have to be at the bottom of my panel. I love watching your videos.

I loved your watercolour technique with the distress ink, I don’t know why you worry about painting those bunnies looked great. And you used a ‘red’ in the macaron stack, the black card was a very classic finish.

    Keep safe and I always look forward to watching your videos on YouTube.

    I really appreciate your videos. They are informative and a lot of fun to watch. You always bring simple designs for beginner card makers like myself. It is so nice to learn that there are beautiful new stamps being made by Colorado Craft Co. I just need to work harder to be able to get all those stamps. Thank you for sharing your creativity and sense of humor.

    Cards…stamps…SO CUTE!! I love them all!! As to the sentiment….I actually like the 2nd one because for some reason it seems to make the imagery jump out even more. I think the 3td (final) one is too squished. As you can tell from my choice of words (“squished”) I am NOT a graphic artist. But I’m always good for an opinion! HAHAHA!!! Thanks, as always, Cathy, I just love what you do and it always inspires me!

You have given me confidence that I can create beautiful cards with your design and coloring tips. The new stamps are so appropriate for events coming up in anyone’s families. My daughter is a baker who appreciates the cards I make and often requests cards from me. The new ones with the macarons and other tasty treats will certainly be on her request list to give to her fellow bakers for birthday and thank you cards. Since she is expecting a baby in May, a card made with the “New Baby” set would almost certainly be one to add to a Keepsake album for her little one.

    I just loved the cards! I thought the sentiment was placed in an okay position, so I’m not quite sure what you meant about the placement. Would you please consider doing a video on this subject? I did love all 3 photoshop placements though.

    I would love getting the entire release, but the “big & bolds” would be just fine by me! ❤️❤️❤️

    Take care & stay safe!

    Hi Cathy – Two great cards. I’m in love with the Anita Jeram collection. They are so sweet and charming. I do my best coloring with Distress Ink but not the Oxide inks, they always look a little chalky to me. The Distress Inks you add as much or little as you need. Thank you for sharing, Wouldn’t love getting one of these beauties in your ??

I started not to leave a comment because well who am I kidding 404 is not going to win anything ! Then I thought well I should tell you how much I like watching you. You have such an easy way about making things and your funny to boot ! Any way I have been telling myself for years I was going to but a stamp set of macaroons so maybe this is the year? I don’t know why I like the look of them so much I have never eaten one nor have I seen them in a store so it’s something to shoot for in 2021 right!?

    Hi Cathy,
    Thank you for the tutorial on painting with distress inks. They do make it seem less intimidating than other forms of water-coloring. BTW, you did a wonderful job! I love Anita Jeram’s artwork. I recently purchased the 4-Leaf Clover stamp with the hamster and the clover from Colorado Craft Co. for St. Patrick’s Day. I wanted to try water-coloring the image rather than coloring with Copics so your video arrived at the perfect time. You’re a great instructor! Thank you.

    Im so glad I watched your video for the Easter card. I don’t really do watercolors but love my Distress Inks! I ordered the Easter set by Anita Jeram the night it was released snd it’s on it’s way now. I have 4 of her other sets as well. I’m now feeling ready to paint them all. Lived the macaroons too! You always make me smile!!!

    Painting with Distress Inks is less intimidating than when I get out my watercolors. I guess it’s because watercolors are art with capital A. Cute cards, thanks for chance to win, love the bold stamps.
