I make cards and stuff. No stress here. It's just paper! Cathy Zielske is a graphic designer who has been working in the craft industry since 2002.

Aside from her job as the art director for SCT magazine, she has an exclusive line of clear stamps and dies with Simon Says Stamp. She also films card tutorials for her YouTube channel and encourages crafters to take a simple approach and have fun. After all, it's just paper.

How to replace your chisel nibs on Copic Sketch Markers (with something better!_

I'm not the world's best colorer and I struggle to stay in the lines using the lovely brush tip on my Copic Sketch marker.
