I couldn’t make a ‘fast’ card if my life depended on it !! Mainly because I change my mind, then I can’t find something and then I get distracted by something else entirely !!! Slow card makers unite, I say ! 😂🤣😂

I'm the same 😂 I had a great idea this week for a card & started playing with techniques for it, got distracted watching KZread videos and ended up making a mini album instead 🙄😂 My friend who came to visit me for the week asked me last night how the card was going...my reply was, Oh yeah I forgot about that 😂😂😂

To say I'm a slow card maker is an understatement! So many ideas and then changes, and more ideas. A whole afternoon is gone and I might finally have one card to show for it. Good thing I'm not a You Tube creator, I'd bore everyone to death wondering if I was ever going to have a finished card!

So glad!

Thanks for showing us the oops and how to fix. Most things are fixable!

I'm definitely a slow cardmaker...changing my mind a LOT!! I'm just glad I'm not the only one 🙄

I am 100% a slow card maker. I tend to make changes part way through the process and will start over. Once I get in a groove though I’m as happy as a clam and thoroughly enjoy taking my time. 😊

I'm one of those slow card makers. I love all the inspiration you and other designers post because what takes me the longest time is deciding colors,products I want to use. Time just flies when I'm in my craft room!

Thank you, Cathy! My friends laugh that I am such a slow card maker. I’ve always felt bad about being so slow, but I do enjoy the process and enjoy letting creativity take me where it will.

I love everything about this card - including the journey to get there!! I sometimes think I spend more time fixing things and changing course than I do actually making the card. 😄

I’m slow too…BUT that’s what makes the creative process more fun for a longer period of time! Plus, I change my mind a lot. 😂

Love how you salvaged that panel, Cathy! SO good to know that Undu trick : )

I am definitely a slow card maker. I only have a partial plan going in when I make a card. I love how you were able to save your card despite some of the obstacles that you ran into. You did a great job.

I'm so glad you saved the card! It can be so disheartening when you think you've finished a card and you see something that you can't unsee! I love your videos x

Yes! Those oops always take more time than you expect. Great save - love the card!

I’ve never really understood the desire for fast cards, but then, I have a lot of time to craft. I’m all about enjoying the process! Thanks for this video.❤

Same here!

I often work on “card parts” long before an actual card gets put together. I too am a “slow” card-maker!

The joys of salvaging a card😁 I've been there many times!

Thanks so much for sharing the mishaps - helpful, educational and hilarious! (I was rolling with laughter when you laid your magnetic mat on top of the die set)

Thanks for showing how to make a beautiful card with unplanned happy accidents along the way. This is my kind of card making!

I also am a sllllloooow card maker😄 and can spend hours choosing colours/design, ink blending, die cutting, assembling etc. In my opinion our cards are like mini works of art, and like artists the process of creating is part of what we love. Thank you for sharing your designs and your love Cathy ❤

I stew over my imagined design, pouring over my AirTable inventory photos, and referencing my Pinterest categories. Then when I’m clear on my design, I get to it. I make around 1000 cards each year for personal and charity. So, there are almost always designs swirling around my brain. Love all your inspiration! 🩷

Oh my, I truly did LOL! Love the way you saved the card, we NEED to see those moments too! Beautiful card!

I love the amount of white space you are able to achieve. It’s just not something I can do

Beautiful card. I must admit I laughed out loud when you had some of your layering frames stuck on your magnetic mat. Too funny, but I love watching you create.

I am also a slow card maker. I have to try multiple papers, stamps, etc. and usually end up with a finished project I like better than what I "planned".

wow you were freaking me out when you put the Un-DO on the back lol ! Glad it all worked out -great save!

Oh thank you!

Had to chuckle with the worded commentary! Great recovery and such a nice card. I’m more of a mass production kind of card maker (I donate 100’s of cards a year) so I work in batches. When I do just make a single card, I tend to take my time and make the card special and enjoy the process.

I was laughing with your running commentary, that’s the sort of thing that happens to me all the time! I just spent an afternoon gluing diecuts to a background, and no the card is not finished, lol. Thank God for KZreadrs like yourself that give me a starting point, otherwise nothing would get done. Very pretty CAS card even if it wasn’t so CAS to make!

Great card! I am definitely a slow crafter…I’m learning to just enjoy the process, and not pressure myself to go fast. Also…I Laughed Out Loud when your dies stuck to the magnet from your Empress….I can’t tell you how many times that has happened to me!

Great card Cathy love to see you fix things… we all need those tricks!!!

Great save on the card. I love the painted background; I never get it right so I’ll try your technique. The bride-to-be will love this. (oh those dies!😅)

Your card turned out great. So darned cute! ❤ I am a slow card maker but I am okay with that. I had years of practice being a slow scrapbooker. The joy is in the creative process, really. Today I made a layout for the first time in almost half a year, and it did not suck, even though I fussed and stuck and unstuck things for hours. It was fun and I loved the finished (not a card) project.

Never thought to just do a little water color like you did. Great card.

I love taking my time with a card. I may have several ideas for my card, and it takes me a while to design it.

I am definitely not fast. Unfortunately, I am not creative so I am quicker at buying supplies that I never use than I am making cards. Sometimes, I need a card and just say, nope. Beautiful card!

I'm slow as molasses, too! Pretty card!

Cute card, Thanks for showing us how to fix the mistakes.

When I’m trying something new or designing something new I’m slow as molasses. However once I get the card how I like it I can replicate it varying colors quickly.

I’m a slow to medium speed card maker but I’m okay with that. I enjoy the process.

I totally agree about taking my time making a card. I have SO many no need for quantity but the relaxing effect of creativity is my goal! Lovely set and card, Cathy!

OMG! You make cards like I do! Formulate a plan, compile supplies, start with good intentions, pause, change something, pause...stop...FIX something 🙄...regroup, incorporate the fix into the new design...VOILA!!🤷🏻‍♀️ A card is born!🥳

You did a great job of salvaging the card!

I took apart an entire shaker card once. It was a mini slimline with three different shaker windows. I did it because I decided I wanted to color in the background and I just couldn’t let it go. 🤣

So pretty Cathy! 🩷 Thank you for sharing the troubleshooting and adhesive undo tip. 😊

Awesome card, simple & elegant! Cathy, you did it again, thanks for showing how to salvage artwork. Oh the pieces I’ve thrown away…😢

I am lucky enough to be on holidays and watching you poolside. I laughed out loud whilst watching your video today, at both you added text commentary and then your mishaps, because I can so relate! 🤣🤣. I am sure everyone would have been surprised to know it was a card making video I was watching. Thanks for the laugh and the sharing your lovely card, loved the colour combo.

Lovely card. Thank you for keeping in the mistakes and mind changes. I love seeing you rescue a card. It's a learning experience on how to fix issues.

@@czdesignYes, that would be Sgt Schultz. He would not see any oopsies on your card, either! 😂

I have to agree with your analogy of “it takes as long as it takes”. I’m not trying to mass produce cards…..I usually only make one to two cards that are exactly the same and that is because I usually give one of the two to my mother who loves to send out cards. I’m just trying to have fun. It’s been suggested many times that I should sell the cards I make to recoup craft supply costs but that would turn my hobby into a job and would ruin my fun. 😎

This is me too-it’s not fun if I have to make a lot or under deadline or for picky buyers!

I’m making my daughter‘a graduation card (with some CZ designed stamps and stencils). So far, over 16 hours in and estimate another 2-3 before it’s finished 😊.

I always take longer than expected when making a card. I had a similar issue with metallic paper…I was heat embossing a greeting after glueing to silver card stock. Had no idea that I was too close and the heat changed the silver it came color! So I improvised and added some pearls to cover it up! Came out great! Your card turned out beautiful!

Cathy, thank you for showing us this process, wrinkles & all. It's easy to assume we are the only one who has these things happen. Crafting can be messy, but oh so rewarding! ❤

Great save of your beautiful card today!!! I never knew about this product, so my mistakes usually get tossed out or put in an oops box to maybe do something different.😂

Love your videos, Cathy. I love the simplicity of the design. I rarely think about using such small stamps, but you have shown how great it can look. I was thinking to make a wedding card and use the brides colors for the background colors. Wouldn’t that look awesome. Thanks for all you do!

Oh dear sweet CZ! Thank the Lord for you! I’ve done the same error as you did. Added bonus when you can salvage the top layer. Caught the replay. I started ukulele lessons today. Years ago I played the guitar but now with rheumatoid arthritis I just can’t do it. Cords on the Ukulele are much easier. Love ya girlfriend.❤

Hi, my name is... and I am a slow card maker. Sure, I've got a few faster techniques in the arsenal (BetterPress) and some labor intensive (no line Copic coloring) but, I agree, the joy is in the creative process. And, oh, what a process. Another lovely clean and simple card. I fully relate to the captions, changes, and corrections. All creators work at their craft. If it appears otherwise, I am skeptical 🙃

Great save! Card is beautiful 😍
