love your cards Connie & the fact that you offer FREE PDF's

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you!

[@lisahand93]

Great layout. Love the masculine card❤

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thanks so much!

[@nancyw8450]

Ladies..... Nothing goes better with card making than chit chat 💕💕💕💕

[@simplysimplestamping]

I absolutely agree.

[@MareBear20]

Watched the replay and loved both cards❣️❣️❣️

[@simplysimplestamping]

I am so glad.

[@louisehaydu7884]

Be careful if making while watching the replay and relying on verbal instructions. There is a cut that should be made at 3 1/4 that is voiced as 3 3/4. If you use written instructions from PDF download, you’ll be fine. Hey, we all make mistakes. 😂

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thanks for the tip.

[@diezrosales]

What a fabulous card, Connie! I look forward to making one of these soon. Thanks for sharing.

[@simplysimplestamping]

You are so welcome!

[@sandygist7634]

I use gamsol with my pencils, works really nice.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Yes, I’m at that age too. 😅

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you for chatting with us.

[@user-or7pl9hb2b]

I had to chuckle because my granddaughter was listening to me watch the replay and asked what in the world I was watching. I said the best card maker and she said that it didn’t sound like a card video. I told her “we” always chat a little first! Even tho I can’t make the live I enjoy your videos from beginning to end.

[@tanyaduffey458]

Hi Connie, I just watched the replay for your fabulous fun-fold card. I just love it! And, once again, I want to thank you for your wonderful tutorial downloads. The best! I'm ready to make it. 😊

108 degrees in Scottsdale. Perfect for card making in A/C weather! 😂 Sort of like snow days for some?

[@simplysimplestamping]

Oh wow, thank goodness for air conditioning.

[@smileyj53]

Watched replay... Another great fun fold

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you for taking the time to watch.

[@ruthjames715]

An absolutely beautiful design. I have been commissioned to make cards for the firm my son works for. They deal with domestic violence. This design will definitely be on the list. Thank you, Connie. Ruth down under.

[@simplysimplestamping]

I am so glad you can use it.

[@vayes7958]

Watching replay Very nice card

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you so much 😊

[@loris3295]

Watching the replay and love this fun fold showing off both sides of the paper. Maybe I can use up some of my prety patterned paper. Thanks for the creative inspiration.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Great idea!

[@user-fz9dq9gb1q]

Just love this hidden gate fold, just adorable. Nice job as always Connie, going to make a bunch. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@simplysimplestamping]

You are so welcome!

[@debthill8285]

Watching replay from Iowa

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you for taking the time to watch.

[@susanhammond9916]

Love all of these cards.They are all beautiful. It's just to hard to choose just one.

[@simplysimplestamping]

I am so glad you love them.

[@sharonyoung8251]

I’m in the Dallas area and it’s been in the 90s for most of the last month. It only cools off when it storms and was without power for 3 days but stayed in 70s in my house.

[@simplysimplestamping]

I am glad it stayed comfortable in your house.

[@rosemariesoper5654]

Watching the replay in Illinois. 😊 LOVE these cards!! Looks complicated, but really isn't. TFS

[@simplysimplestamping]

Yes, it is quite simple.

[@sharonyoung8251]

I love water color pencils. In order to get the shading, color where you want it the darkest. Use a damp, not wet brush to pull the color to help lighter areas. Another tip, don’t fully color like you do w color pencils, use the water to spread it out.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you for the tips.

[@margaretfoote110]

Hi from cold Scotland ❤

[@simplysimplestamping]

Hello there!

[@Naomi-km2tn]

Thank you for another great video! have you ever considered making 6x6 cards? (I've been trying to adapt this gate fold technique to a 6x6 card style but not sure I can do the math, .... maths is not my strong suit!)

[@simplysimplestamping]

I don't make that size of card. So, I would recommend trying it with some scrap paper.

[@peggykerr1452]

That six sided figure is a six sided polygon not a hexagon. A hexagon has 6 equal sides and six = angles. Hope that helps!

[@lynnbehnke6910]

Hexagons can be irregular, according to my studies.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thanks for sharing.

[@stamps4fungin]

I love punches over dies, so when I get a new punch, I write the name of it on the bottom with a black Sharpie marker.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Great idea.

[@mcescher1957]

Lol...sorry to burst your bubble Connie....but you didn't come up with this design. I have been an artist/stamper/crafter for over 50 years...and I've been making this particular design for YEARS. Not that your cards aren't absolutely beautiful.

[@Anne28456]

She says right in beginning that either she saw a long time ago and doesn’t remember or came up with the idea. So please give her a break. So hard to make these videos.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you very much for your kind words and having my back.

[@Anne28456]

@@simplysimplestamping You’re very welcome! You do a great job. It takes so much preparation for even one video, let alone the many you do. Have a Happy 4th!

[@cathygarner6867]

Love the Cards thank you 😊

[@simplysimplestamping]

You are very welcome.

[@sharonyoung8251]
