CZ Design

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

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:

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!

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.

  124. Kathy Andrews says

    Congratulations Cathy! =:o) It doesn’t surprise me at all that you have 50K subscribers; next year it will be 100K, right? Love watching your posts with such wonderful, fun, and colorful creations. I like when you show some of your mistakes along with all the successes because I think it helps us viewers get past some of the ‘hick-ups’ we all feel at one time or another and the encouragement to try again. Keep on posting sweet Cathy. And to Cathy’s Supporters, thank you too.

    Congratulations CZ for achieving this milestone in You Tube Subscribers! I love your videos and thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

  148. Carol-Ann Martin says

    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!
    Carol

I still use your design principles every day – “even margins”!!! – and now I love watching your down-to-earth card making process. Oh, not to mention those kick-ass stamps you design 😉 I’m an avid reader of scrapbook and cards today. I have joined the Autumn SCT classes and can’t wait for your class.

    Congratulations on your subscriber milestone!

    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!

  327. Rhonda Wilson says

    Congratulations Cathy!!! You are an inspiration as a cardmaker and a designer. Here’s to another 50K!!!

    Cathy, I’ve been a fan since our Big Picture Scrapbooking days! I’m still a scrapbooker, but I like using my supplies for cardmaking too. 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! 😉❤️

  427. Melanie Simmons says

    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…💗

  516. Heidi Weller says

    I stumbled on your YouTube channel when I returned to scrapbooking after a hiatus. Your videos encouraged me to try card making. I keep coming back and not just for the techniques but you always make me laugh. This is the same reason I keep my husband of 23 yrs😀. Your in good company!!!

  521. Tory Doherty says

    I remember how excited I was to meet you and Stacy Julian after a scrapbook event somewhere in the county, and loved that you were from the Twin Cities (where I live) and Stacy was from Spokane (where I did my student teaching a billion years ago). It’s been a few years since I was part of that world but I really enjoy your videos – for the tips and laughs – and am excited to see you continue to wow the crafting world! Congratulations on this epic milestone!

  536. Chanda Mullen says

    Your cards are beautiful, your designs are clean and simple — and your fun, happy, joyful, and fearless approach to creating is simply the best! Your encouragement reminds me that “it’s only paper,” and that I can still experience crafty Joy when I fail, because I learn from my mistakes. I’m a forever fan!

  537. Glenna says

    Cathy, you are my girl, my go-to for your craftiness, your skill, your humour 😁 and for just being you. Your nails are great, too!

  543. Shar says

    Congratulations on your milestone achievement. I chuckle whenever you refer to yourself as a ‘middle aged crafter’. From my position of 75 years you are still a young whippersnapper. Thanks for your humorous approach to card making. You have inspired many of my card making endeavors. God bless.

  545. Rachel Handforth says

    Hi Cathy, I’ve been watching your YouTube Videos since 2017 and I just love you! The honesty, humor and skills you share make me laugh out loud….and spit my coffee on occasion! Due to your recommendations I’m now an alumni of craft events I would never have tried (Concord & 9th – howdy campers and SCT Crop & Create), and I wouldn’t have embraced my nails with Olive & June!
    Congratulations on 50k followers – I love being part of the Tribe xx

    Congratulations, Cathy! I’ve been following you since your short-haired Simple Scrapbooking days. You are extremely talented and I’ve always coveted your style because I’m more of a distressed, messy crafter. Well, not ME, but my “style”, lol. 😉 But I’ve always been drawn to your clean and simple style.

Here’s to many more years and many more followers! 🥂

  671. Debbie C says

    It was at the beginning of covid in 2019 when I discovered your craft site and I have watched everyone one of them since. I find it relaxing to listen to your down to earth approach and sometimes the uncertainty of which stamp or sentiment will look best makes the learning process so real.
    Congratulations on 50k.

  672. Iva says

    Congratulations Cathy on reaching the 50k subscribers mark. I just recently (2 days ago) discovered your videos. I love your simple and easily doable cards and especially love that you are so “real”.

    p.s. I hope I didn’t post twice…the first time I hit submit it crashed 🙁

  685. Claudia says

    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.

  687. Christiane says

    Congratulations on 50.000 subs! I love your videos and your clean design style. Glad you dedided to share your gift.

  712. Angela Kavaloski says

    Always fun to watch you, Cathy Z! You have beautiful work, and yet you don’t hold back from showing your human side when you are creating. 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!!

  713. Ana says

    Hi, Cathy, I only discovered your channel a few months ago. I love your simple and

    Well done, Cathy, keep them videos coming!

  995. Renee says

    Cathy, your style of crafting, humor that is sometimes tinged with naughtiness, facial expressions and beautiful nails are all so refreshing!

    You, Jennifer, Ginna, Simon, and Yana are the reason I am making it through the pandemic. You all have been a tremendous bright spot in this very difficult 2 years.

    Thank you for sharing your humor and talent and admitting sometimes crafting in your PJs.

Keep the videos coming!

  1006. Melanie jacobs says

  1009. Giselle D. says

    First off, Congrats! You are one of the first YouTubers I found when I decided to look up card making. I instantly loved your sense of humour and felt like we’d be friends if we met in real like. (Don’t worry, I’m not a stalker, I’m far too lazy for that!). It was so fun to watch these older videos! It was great to see some older techniques that are probably better than ones I am using now. I definitely need to use my craft knife more. Anyway, congratulations again! I have a feeling we will be celebrating 100k very soon!

  1010. Cynthia Baldwin says

Thank you for all the inspiration…and for being my gateway to Olive and June. I am getting a collection of their polish too!

  1016. Aliya D says

    Hi Cathy! My card making journey started a little over 2 years ago, when I was tasked with making wedding invitation cards for my sister, and I found your videos while looking for inspiration.. I have since learned so much from you and others (Gina K, Jennifer M) and have also introduced my 5yo to your videos too (she asks me every day, mum is there a new Cathy video? I want to see the craft slash dining room!) We love your art and everything you do, you are a wonderful teacher, and I can’t wait for the Oct crop n create where taking your class will feel like we are creating together! Congratulations on your 50K milestone, and looking forward to watching more and learning more from you!

  1020. Lorraine Green says

    Hey Cathy! Congratulations from your fellow Minnesotan….(I’m the pest from Burnsville). So proud of you! I love your clean lines because I can do that! Too much technical stuff and I shake my head and say” Gee that’s pretty but I don’t think I have the talent” and I move on. Your cards are something I can try to do and feel great when I’m done. Thanks!

    I came across your channel last summer while I was staying socially isolated and have been a fan ever since! I love your card making style and your sense of humor, too! Congratulations on reaching this milestone!

  1344. Beverly G. says

    50K…and growing! Thank you for sharing your talent with all us. You sprinkle humor into most of your videos which makes watching them such a joy. You are a delight and wonderful designer.

  1346. Melanie Arrowood says

    Congratulations Cathy! I have enjoyed following your journey over the years and love your Youtube videos. Hoping the Bee makes a comeback one day, but I get the whole music/rights thing. We have the memories though right?! Here’s to many more years of Cathy Card Goodness!

  1347. Sheila Rodriguez says

    Special CONGRATS to you on this amazing milestone. There was definitely a space in the online universe for you to step in and meet the challenge. Love your excruciatingly complete step-by-step instructions and your clean and doable projects. Also appreciate the handy tips you drop along the way: e.g., turntable for your Gemini, using the Scor-Buddy for applying full-size layers on card fronts, flicking with a fan brush, and always use a wooden clothespin when heat embossing. Keep up the good work!

  1348. Leora Henkin says

    Congrats Cathy! And thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us! Good luck to all!

    Congratulations, Cathy! I don’t miss a video. Your designs are beautiful, simple yet stunning. You truly make me feel I can do it too. I love how down to earth you are, laughing at yourself at times, and reeling in the joy of your successes! I love to watch and learn from you while you make me laugh. Thank you for that. And kudos for letting go of those who may leave negative comments. You go, girl!!!

  1350. Angela Lemmons says

    Congrats on a huge milestone!!! I ❤️❤️❤️ your card-making style and choice of lipsticks!!

  1353. Kim Grimes says

    Hey Cathy! Congratulations-I know you worked hard for this! Looks like you’ve been on a wonderful journey. Between your scrapbook page videos on design and the videos you make now, I gather it’s been quite a ride. I’m so glad I’ve happened across your videos-I’ve learned a lot from you and I’m still learning. I love that you began much of your journey in Washington state, and I’m glad you’re out there still sharing with others. It’s an absolute joy to watch you work. Your passion for your art is contagious! So when I first began scrapbooking, I used to get a magazine called Creating Keepsakes. Did you ever have anything to do with that publication? You seem so familiar to me from a magazine publication, or perhaps from a book you may have written or collaborated on. Anyway_Congrats again, and looking forward to much more from you. See you at the next milestone!

  1354. Denise Fonda says

    Cathy, I always look forward to your YouTubes, from your Dining Room/Craft Room location. I’m not a super detailed person so your simple product designs and cards appeal to my artistic capabilities. Keep up the good work and TY for your generosity 😀

  1357. Katie K says

    Congrats, Cathy, on hitting 50K! Not hard to imagine, sine I love your card making on YouTube and IG. I even like your manicure reels—and I haven’t painted my fingernails In decades! Best wishes and keep the card making inspiration coming!

  1358. Elayne Catey says

    Watching your videos is like visiting a friend and having fun in the dining/craft room. I would want to be friends even if you didn’t craft! You are an absolute delight. I love that you show the real process that we all go through – should I do that? should I do this? Maybe I’ll change this? You make us feel like – OK I can do that! I am not at all surprised that 50,000 people follow you! And more to come. You’re going to need a bigger dining/craft room…..

  1360. Tracey Adams says

    Congratulations, Cathy! I LOVE your videos and your stamping style. 50,000 is a great milestone and we’re all very glad you made the leap to card making! Keep making your great videos and beautiful cards! I’ll be watching! 💕

I have loved seeing your progression over time – yet, your style is definitely evident from the beginning. You inspire me! I look forward to watching you for many years to come!

    50000 might be hard to deal with for an introvert 😉…….
    And if everyone of the 50k will leave a comment, there will be many words to be read, too.

    I love your videos, especially your humour and sense for puns fascinates me. In fact, I’m booping when using embellishments.

    Back in the day, I don’t remember the year, I was a scrapbooker trying to get my mojo back. It was National Scrapbook Day and my favorite magazine, Simple Scrapbooks had someone named Cathy Zielske doing a demo. When she said, “taking the crap out of scrapbooking” I found my mentor! I was testing the waters of card making when you, Cathy, dove in with both feet. I knew I was in the right place. Thank you for your impeccable design sense and delightful sense of humor. Your videos are always first on my list, your stamps and dies my favorites. I’ll stop now.

  1505. Brittain says

    Absolutely love your tutorials!! It was because of YOU I even wanted to learn how to scrapbook. Your hybrid method was a complete game changer for most of us I’m sure. Caught between the desire of loving old school paper cutting, but having a small piece of yourself yearning to learn something new and discover what all the hype was about concerning digital scrapbooking. Love your designs and style!

  1506. Kelly Kuharik says

    Congratulations!! I love seeing others able to make a living with something they are also passionate about!

  1507. Rhonda Schumacher says

    Congratulations! That is quite a milestone!

    I discovered your channel about a year ago, when I started making cards again after many years taking a break to raise my kids. Now that I am an empty nester, like you, I started looking up card making videos to get a handle on all the latest techniques, products, etc. I found your channel, and right away I could identify with you, being a middle aged crafter myself in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Your cards are an inspiration, and your tips and tricks are so helpful! Your color wheel combos, and design series videos are very informative. They have helped me with my card layouts and color palettes so very often. I am always excited in anticipation of your next video. And, you are just so darn fun! 😉

    You are an inspiration to me. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

  1744. Sam F says
