    I’m not usually into pink cards but OMG, Cathy, I absolutely LOVE this pink Christmas card!!!!!
    I think I’m going to CASE your card for my cards this year. Lately I’ve made a different card for each recipient, but I like this one so much I think I’m going to mass product it. Haven’t done that in a while! Thanks for sharing your talent with us, and your humor.

  8. Nicki Fabbakian says

    Just love the monochrome card! I’m getting inspired to make Christmas gifts!

    Cathy as always that was a “real” video. The missing part and pieces, all the real stuff that happens when you create. That’s what I like about lives! I would love to be able to say that I have a card made by Cathy Z! I really appreciate all you do!

  14. Cheryl Henderson says

    I was unsure of the pink Christmas tree but LOVE the final result! I’ll be trying this retro idea and colors for my cards this year. As always, thanks Cathy for your fabulous video(s). And please, no editing – love the conversation 🙂

  17. Joan Ballanger says

    I like the non traditional color. Also, your directions and tips are so helpful!

    I love that card! It reminds me so much of the colors of my childhood! While I’ve never made Christmas cards in July or any other time since I’m kind of new to card making, I’m not new to making Christmas projects during all times of the year. Currently I’m making a latch-hook pillow for my sibling handmade Christmas gift exchange…well, it’s more of a family gift exchange. A lot of the kids are now adults and join in instead of buying gifts for everyone. I know they want me to bake something, but I prefer to get stuff done when I can do it leisurely and not be stressed about it. I’ll also be starting on ornaments next month. I take the first half of the year off since I work on them non-stop from Aug-Dec. I can hardly believe we are into July already. This year has flown by. With in the next week I’ll be a first time grandma….time has flown since December. Thanks for all of your videos Cathy and have a wonderful trip visiting your parents. Safe travels!

    I love this card! Your videos are always so much fun & I get to learn something too! The die plate is gorgeous & I love the retro feel from the colour scheme. Thank you for all you share with the world!

  23. Cindy says

    What a great card & video. I purchased quite a bit from this last WF release (using your affiliate link). My order should arrive by Friday! Thanks for the chance to win. It’s a beautiful card.

  24. Jo Henderson says

    Love the card you made today! It’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m going in a different direction with my Christmas cards this year. I love Waffle Flowers postage stamp dies & stencils! The Snowman is so cute. I love the way you stenciled it!

  25. Elaine Brydon says

    This card is so pretty Cathy! Delicate and whimsical. I love the pink, white, and silver color combo and the texture and sparkle. I’m considering nontraditional Christmas cards this year and this makes me want to make them!

    I usually prefer traditional Christmas colors, but I love this. I need to try using more light colors.

  35. Angie says

    I really like the soft pink Christmas theme! It’s a very sweet card! I love how you don’t over-do it with decorations. Less is more – usually anyways, you teach us that every week! Thank you!

  37. Teresa Rexrode says

    I really enjoyed this – my first live with you. Truly loved the card you made as well. Looking forward to watching more with you.

  38. Pat J says

    Love your card!! Love your saying: Why use a tool that’s built into your body, when you can buy one. Lol. You always crack me up!! Thanks for the oppotunity to have a CZ original!!

  39. Pam Steed says

    I really love the non traditional color Christmas card. I need to start thinking outside the box.

  40. Cindy Luc says

    This card is great! I love pink at Christmas and this one is adorable! Thanks, Cathy, for keeping it real—love watching you! Have a safe (and cool!) trip. Cindy

  42. Michelle Yager says

    I LOVE non-traditional Christmas colors! Your pink tree reminds me of the ‘mod’ trees from the 1960’s. So fun!

  43. Pam Katz says

    Such a pretty card! I am just in the beginnings of starting my Christmas cards, so I know I will be searching for lost bits and pieces soon, too!!! Lol

  45. Linda Montgomery says

    Ooh, pick me, pick me! I love everything about this card, so different than what you too often see on Christmas cards. Love the silver too! 💜

  46. Brenda says

    Loved today’s card! It reminded me of my childhood obsession with pink.
    Thank you so much for sharing the true creative process! Chaos is always an element of true creativity. I have learned so much from your videos. 🩷

  48. Jennifer Breitenbach says

    So pretty! I am not a pink lover, but you always make it look so nice. Charlene’s comment, “Some of my creative checks bounce” is so funny! I will be using that more because as you said sometimes things just don’t work out so well, and we miss the target a bit. LOL

  49. Helen Sheppard says

    I missed the live but have just watched the replay. This card is just so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

  52. Carrie Maritato says

    Watched the live today and wasn’t sold on the pink at first. I love this card and happy to see how beautiful it turned out. I need to step outside my comfort zone and use non-traditional colors!!

  53. Robin Kuketz says

    I love the monochromatic card. The pink is so cheerful and unexpected. Thanks for the story on how you ended up in Minnesota.

  57. Melodie Freund says

    I was only able to watch the first part of the live. I wasn’t excited about the card until I saw the finished card. Wow! Perfection personified!

    This is the only Christmas in July card I’ve watched so far; the pink and silver did me in! I just love it!

  66. Jamie Y. says

    I really need to start making my Christmas cards in July, because I tend to start them like 2 days before Christmas and then spend half the family party finishing them 😂 I love the pink and silver of this. So fun!

  68. Debbie says

    Very pretty card, I love that its not your traditional Christmas colors, nice to change things up a bit. Great tutorial.

  69. Sylvia Torres says

    Beautiful card Cathy! I really love the tone on tone and of course, the color Pink!!

  70. Ginny Kennedy says

    Oh Cathy…..you’ve outdone yourself with this one!!!! Every time I think that’s the beautiful card I’ve seen….you make another!! I love the link with silver and gray!

  72. Wilma Terrell says

    Who knew I would like a Pink, monochromatic Christmas Tree? Cathy Z you out-did yourself on this one. I love all your videos, but I Really Love your Lives!!! Hope you are having a great day.

    Love the pink monochromatic! I would love to be yours, Gina’s and Jennifer’s minds just for 1 day so I can be that creative. Love all your stuff. Have a wonderful time with your parents and safe travels

  74. Sheila Styre-Briere says

    ✨💖 I love this card Cathy, I’d love to start early for Christmas! I actually have a couple Christmas stamp sets sitting on my desk..just need to gather a few things. Starting a new tradition may just be what I need, thanks for the inspiration 🤗✨
