Glad you're better, Simon. Definitely the silhouette card. 😊

[@sherried2114]

My favorite is the sending good tidings. Glad you're feeling better.

[@karensimon6512]

I like both cards. The 1st card is my favorite 😃😃😃

[@kandicezaffarano6361]

I like the deer silhouettes! the print with the first background stamp was awesome. I would love any of these cards.

[@gloriataylor4862]

Hi Simon, once again I have to say you are one of my favorite crafter. You asked if you were crazy because you changed your mind no you are not because I do the same. I love both of the cards, thank you Simon, looking forward for the next video.

[@barbarashikiar6]

Feel better Simon. Love gel press videos.

[@lindam2367]

Glad you are feeling better. Never would have thought to use a gel press in that manner

[@carolgreene2069]

Both cards are wonderful, but I'm always attracted to the silhouettes, so the deer win for me. Great job!

[@melissacrawford303]

Glad you're feeling better. Missed you on stamp wars.

[@elizabeththomas8657]

Love the versamark trick on the gel press!

[@SoulfulXprssion]

I love the reindeer card- I am obsessed with poinsettias

[@beverlywaters6171]

Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank youagain. Your videos are always so stimulating. You make it look so easy. I didn't think I would like the silhouette stamps but the first card was my favorite.I can't wait until I start my Christmas cards.Keep the tutorials coming...and take care of yourself.

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Glad you are feeling better. Sorry you were sick. What a cute size gel press. It is cool that you can flip it over like a stamp. I like all the cards but especially the last circle poinsettia one because the colors you used are beautiful.

[@lindavinson1273]

Good morning! Glad you are better.

[@jackiejohnson7158]

Thanks Simon! I agree with others too hard to pick a fave😊

[@tressiesalton2813]

My favorite is the circle with the poinsettia. But how cute the reindeer are! Love the backgrounds on both. Great cards! Glad your feeling better.

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois. I love the versa mark tip, it really allows the ink to blend smoothly. The cards you make with the winter stamp set are beautiful. Thanks for joining us, snd hope you are feeling better.

[@jeanninelabiuk1492]

Hey Simon! ✨ So Glad You Are Healthy Again!! ✨ I So Have to Jump On These Gel Plate Techniques…I Have Some…I Just Haven’t Used Them Yet! 🤷🏼‍♀️. Great Tip About Versa Mark ✅ Love the Deer Card 🦌💕 ✨Also Love the Poinsettia Card! It’s Nice to See Something Not So Traditional

[@blackitten2]

Glad you are feeling better. Your cards are beautiful. I think my fav is the one with the deer.

[@tthappyrock368]

Glad you're feeling better! I liked the texture in the first card. It really added a lot of interest.

[@lauriekirk6192]

Love all of these but the deer are my favorites. Most important though is that you are feeling better.

[@jennifermitchell5536]

I just ordered the oh deer set and the stamp set with the manger silhouette! If you’re just starting out and doing cards you’re kit is really all you need!! Best one yet!!! Feel better mister

[@EC-R]

Great video. Nice tip with the versamark. Glad to see you feeling better.

[@marymassman258]

Both cards are beautiful. Purchasing a round gel press now after viewing this. Well done!

[@mardichadwickbalcom]

Hard to pick. Loved them both. Actually love the second print from the festive florals and can’t wait to see what you do with that one!!

[@gloriabrese8197]

🎃. Hi ! Personally I adore gel stamp #1 bc it seems to have a movement similar to watercolor sorta abstract painting. More of an impressionist painting.! And I've been drawn to impressionist paintings for over 50 years. Love it Simon. Keep teaching. 🙋 Nana in se OK usa.

[@dianacathan1038]

We're so glad that you feel better. You always give us great tips.

[@NotAfraidofColor]

Good you are up and around. I liked the deer one best!

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

I love both of your cards,but I like the round one a little bit more. Glad your feeling better.

[@sonny1143]

Glad to have you back! Beautiful cards but the deer one was definitely my favourite ❤ stay well 😊

[@cherylrichards7052]

Love the silhouette deer, but they are all awesome😍 Glad you’re feeling better❣️

[@MsShanarun]

So fun! I love making one-of-a-kind backgrounds! Also.... making your own gel plates is super fun too.... 😁

[@kblack861]

Sorry to hear you were sick, and glad you are feeling better! These cards were amazing, love the blends of color you chose. I'm always "impressed" with how nicely the patterns turn out when stamping a design on the ink!

[@LindaTomanCreates]

Hi, Great Video.. Love the cards. Glad you feel Better.

[@kateyrandolph1212]

Mine was last on the -sending good tidings one. Great color.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Loved those cool Gel Press cards you made. Such a cool way to make cards. I enjoy playing with my Gel Press. Prayers you feel better soon.

[@lovevenuslove7946]

Learned alot. Buying the round gel press today. Thanks.

[@rfowler6039]

Missed you Simon! So glad you're back and feeling better! Love this technique and will definitely put it on my to do list. 💕

[@stamperssecret5379]

I really like the colors you used with it’s Beginning to Look like….

[@sarascreations6637]

So glad you are feeling better. I can now use my gel pad with a lot more confidence. Thank you so much, Dude, for the tips and the cards were gorgeous!

[@lindavinson1273]

Beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing! 💕

[@cejtebeau1]

Thanks for the versamark hint!

[@judevivier153]

Loved those deer! Keep getting better :)

[@lauracarrasco3196]

Love these techniques! Glad to hear you are feeling better!

[@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654]

The first one was my favorite. I’m not a fan of having that much white but your cards always turn out great. ☺️

[@susanjohnson318]

I don't have a round gel press -- it took me long enough to get one rectangle! I was thinking that I could use my circle dies to cut a circle out of a gel pressed background. . . . I loved both cards; I like the circle one a tiny bit more.

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

I don’t have any of the smaller gel plates either, so having those dies we can use to cut a piece from a larger gel press background is a great idea!! 🙂

[@susanfanucchi2912]

So happy to hear you’re feeling better. I love the deer.

[@sonjah1983]

Great cards Simon! Love the circle gel press. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@sonjah1983]

Glad your feeling better too❣

[@karenmartell1668]

Love your sweatshirt…and your creations too!!!

[@shellyrulli5787]

Cool technique, Simon! I like both however, I'm an animal lover so I prefer the deer one. 🦌 Thank you for your videos!

[@wendy8184]

I love both of these! But I love a good silhouette so the deer is my favourite. I’ve just purchased a gel plate this week, so with your tips I will enjoy experimenting 👍

[@carolloe2188]

Great cards - my fave is the deer. Glad u r feeling better!

[@annettefertitta6868]

Love them both they are stunning!

[@monicayates8243]

Great idea to use the versamark ink!

[@cathymorris8072]

Simon, Great video and love these cards especially the poinsettia card! Sending healthy thoughts!

[@cindybearj]

I like both cards but my favorite is the one with the circle.

[@bronwynrykiert7254]

Lovely cards, thank you and I loved all the cards you made.

[@artcreationsbydar]

Glad your feeling better Simon. :)

[@annettefertitta6868]

[@marikareimer4411]

Glad to hear you're better! I really like the silhouette reindeer.

[@AimeeFleck]

You still sound a little stuffy sir. Glad you’re feeling better, tho. 😍 I’ve been wanting to get the round gel press, guess I’m going to have to now 😂😂😂 The round printed cards my favorite.

[@MartaZaborowskaArt]

Thanks for new ideas using gel press :)! Amazing background :)

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Glad you’re feeling better Simon. Great cards, as always!! I love the way you used the smaller gel plates to get your background. And while I really like both of your cards, those deer are just adorable!! Great stamp set. 🙂

[@annedunstan1171]

Love the versa mark tip!

[@pdunbar9255]

now that was a great tip about the versamark....I did not know that sooooo thank you!

[@stampinwithalohajoyceb9310]

Glad to hear & see that you’re feeling better! I love how your reinkers on the gel press left a cool texture! I love the last card the best - it seemed to come together quickly too. Take care & TFS!

[@amymoore5543]

the floral is my favorite

[@metadarmawan1767]

Thank you for Versamark tip, is fun to do different looks.

[@craftinglady]

I'd prefer to cover the whole background, don't like too much white space around. But the results are awesome.

[@conniesobczak2177]

[@darlenemcdowell3383]

Simon, glad to hear you are feeling better. Love watching your video's. I was wondering what do you use to clean the Gel Press.

[@hazelfarris206]

Nice!

[@ginnycook9224]

can you put clear embossing powder over the gel imagine as soon as you stamp it?
