My 50K YouTube Subscriber Giveaway! Thank you for your support of my channel!

September 4, 2021

My 50K YouTube Subscriber Giveaway! Thank you for your support of my channel!

This giveaway is now closed at 1,822 comments, at 4 p.m. central time. I will be working on drawing the names of the winners and will be posting to my blog the results. Either tonight, or early tomorrow morning!

I joined YouTube back in early 2006.

In those days, I did virtually nothing with it. Save for posting a few silly videos. Here’s an example:

I posted a handful of scrapbooking tutorials over the years, but it wasn’t until April 2017 when I decided to go all in on YouTube with cardmaking tutorials, starting with this video:

After that first attempt, I was hooked.

Here we are four-and-some-change years later, and I have 50,000 folks who have decided to subscribe to see more of my YouTube content.

That is amazing, and I am BEYOND grateful! So to celebrate, I have a fabulous giveaway today featuring a handful of my favorite companies who have given me so much support (and product!) over the past few years. There is over $1,000 in prizes up for grabs!

The prizes up for grabs are as follows:

  • 2 $50 gift cards from Simon Says Stamp
  • A $150 prize package from Scrapbook and Cards Today magazine
  • 2 $50 from CZ Design for the Simon Says Stamp shop
  • 2 $50 gift cards from Jennifer McGuire Ink for the Simon Says Stamp shop
  • 2 $50 gift cards from Gina K. Designs
  • 2 $50 gift cards from Pinkfresh Studio
  • 1 $50 gift card from Waffle Flower Crafts
  • A Distress prize bundle from Tim Holtz
  • 2 $50 gift cards from MFT Stamps
  • 2 $50 gift cards from Organize More
  • 1 $50 gift card from Colorado Craft Company
  • 4 $25 gift cards to the Make it By Marko store on Etsy (+ save 15% through Friday, September 10 at their shop with code: CZ50K)
  • 1 $55 store credit at Stampers Secret (maker of the Debby Tool)
  • 1 $50 gift card for Hero Arts

TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY: All you need to do is leave a comment here on my blog. Any comment at all will do. If you have time, be sure to visit all the sponsors, check out their shops, and help support our amazing crafty industry.

I will choose the winners at random on Friday, September 10, 2021 and post them here on my blog shortly thereafter.

Then, join me for a YouTube live on Friday, September 10 at 7 p.m. Central Time, where hopefully I’ll share a silly blooper reel and we can have a fun Q&A, and I can thank you in person! More details plus a live YouTube page will be coming soon!

Good luck and thank you for your support!

    Congratulations on reaching 50k. I’m late to the party as I only discovered you this year, but I’ve learned a lot about card design that I didn’t know even though I’ve been doing it for several years. My method was slap something together til it suited me. I’m learning more about design from you which makes it easier to “slap together” a card.

    Cathy, I love watching your videos/tutorials, and do you know why? It’s because you are so natural and I feel I could be sitting at your craft/dining table alongside you:), especially when a glass of vino is in view lol
    Your tutorials are great because you hum and haw just like the rest of us over the decisions made whilst crafting a project – it helps to know why you make the choices you do and I remember that better than simply being told what to do.
    I actually order your designs from SSS in US because I can’t buy them in the UK – from me that’s a huge accolade in itself.
    Here’s to the next 50,00, good luck!

    Hi Cathy,

    I discovered your channel this year. I appreciate that you always demonstrate that we don’t have to have a large craft space to call our own. We can do the things we love no matter what our space is.

    Your enthusiasm and humor always make my day!

    Best Wishes

    Cathy Z,

    I can’t put in words how much I enjoy watching your cardmaking videos. You make me laugh each and every time! You are so unique in your delivery and your third person, off-handed style just tickles me. Your saying …”it’s just paper” is so true and my mantra when I’m creating….heck, if I screw it up I just stop and say…..Hey, it’s like Cathy Z says….it’s just paper – then I move on! Oh, one other thing you’ve taught me…..simple and clean is just as pretty, in fact prettier!

    Thanks again for being my bright star and guiding light when I enter my CRAFT/Laundry room! Yes, I too have to share my space! My husband refers to my side as the “CRAP” room. (really if he only knew how much all that “crap” costs he’d probably lose his mind!).

    Again, love ya, keep on entertaining us with your ideas, skills and of course, your humor. LOVE IT!

I just made your Halloween card, the one with the “puzzle” background. I used all the pieces to make three cards – they’re adorable! A funny thing before I sign off, when I saw your email, I thought you were giving away “$50K” in your celebration. I stopped to read it to find out how you got rich enough to give away $50K! Obviously, my eyes were crossed. So glad you’re still one of us! 😉❤️

    Cathy!!!! When I came across your work and your YouTube channel, I knew I had found a kindred spirit. Your design style is like mine, and I follow you faithfully. I LOVE your design and your on-camera presence. I have a degree in Graphic Design from 1970-something, before computers came onto the design scene. I missed doing the work by hand, and when a friend introduced me to scrapbooking and cardmaking, I felt like I was finally in the right place to use my skills and ideas. So, thank you, from a friend you haven’t met…💗

    The thing about you is you feel real! You make it okay to not have perfect cards – though yours always look beautiful despite any “mistakes” you may have made. I love the enthusiasm you express when you make a card – the self-love is hard won, but so important and so real. Makes it okay for those of us who are thrilled with our cards to feel the same pride and excitement (even if the receiver will look at it and throw it in the trash right away – i mean – at least recycle it!!)
    A lot of us say this and we mean it – we think if we knew you, we’d be friends.
    Thanks Cathy for all the inspiration you give, and the laughs you provide as a bonus.

I was excited to a fellow graphic designer apply graphic design principles to the craft. I was even more excited to see you jump into card making because that’s always been my jam. You always bring your wonderful, fun and zany style to everything and I just love that! I am in no way surprised by this milestone and you are so beloved by so many in the crafting industry! You ROCK!

I adore that – especially as it’s easy to stop creating when you see all the fabulous makes out there and you don’t feel as if you can do it. By you showing that sometimes mistakes happen, you give all of us hope that we can still carry on and create the magic. Thank you!!

You’ve taught me a lot of things (and an enabler to make me spend money! LOL!) and advice from your experience. Some videos out there are filming “from their studio” but I like your “dining slash craft” room. Thanks Cathy. Keep up the good work.

    I just watched the two you-tubes you posted here. Your comment about sugar on toast making you think about embossing powder was so funny! And so true! I’ve been watching you-tube videos for about as long as you’ve been posting them, and I have to say you’re one of my favorite people to watch. You’re so engaging and I love how you talk to phantom people off camera, so funny! Congrats on hitting the 50K mark!
