Hi friends! Comment below which card/technique was your favorite. :) ✭ FULL supply list with PICTURES: ldli.co/e/0zyjg6

[@cherylsimpson6816]

Hi Simon, ive recently found your videos on KZbin and they are great, I love watching you! I'm not sure if you can help, but I'm sure I've seen you using a round thing that you hold in your hand and use to press the stamps down in your stamp press. Do you perhaps know what they're called or where I could buy one of these from please, im in the UK? Keep the excellent tutorials coming! 😁

[@scrapbook]

How can we pick a favorite tip when they were all so clever?! Great video, Simon!

[@mydustbuny89]

The trees were my favorite.

[@MsShanarun]

My fav is the forest card. I really like all of the blending and how you colored the white space between the upper and lower trees.😀

[@robinholschen4485]

you are so funny.. glad you placed an order for the embossing powder.. Love you Simon.. you are my absolute favorite

[@lindaanderson7375]

Love the simplicity of the poinsettia stamping. TFS!

Your demo of the mint tape was excellent with the Brutus Monroe stamps ! 🌍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍

[@pattiepan]

I really loved the masking and night sky with all the trees. Your work is always so vibrant and super colorful which I truly love love love...............pat

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Great tips I especially like the sentiment banner and the partial fussy cutting.

[@cathyschadler7096]

Love both the cards. I don't know if I like the water technique or not. But love how you used the Misti to mass produce Christmas cards! Love your talent and your work that you do.

[@mssuzieqmack]

Simon you are one very talented & ingenious guy! Love your videos and your card making tips! Thanks for sharing! My favorite thing you showed was that little fishtail banner trick!

[@donnamaree5253]

Loved all the tips but my fav would have to be the banner tip, it was pretty awesome just like you

[@triciapodmore3866]

The 2nd card was phenomenal and soooooo insightful 💜💜! I can't wait to try that technique. Blessings th keep believing and creating 🙏

[@robertamiller9096]

The banner tip was my favorite. Never saw that before.

[@prentzess]

That white embossing powder just proved your point about stretching your supplies! LOL! I love the banner hack!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

You are such a great teacher - love all your tips and techniques - those trees look 3D - the poinsettia is my favorite - I’ve always wondered why more people don’t layer up stuff like this with their Misty

[@ritabrandow1318]

I have not seen the layering also.

[@cynthiatuczynski9491]

Great tip about mass producing layering stamp cards. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

First I need to say... Love these cards!! And thank you for all your wonderful tips.

[@three2onemum]

Really loved them all, great money saving ideas along with creative thinking! Awesome!

[@carloshaun7297]

Loved it all, but the banner, right at the end, is so awesome!

[@nans969]

The banner was my favorite tip. All were great. Thanks

[@isabelle7403]

Rock star card, Simon! Your skills get better and better. That tree stamp is beauuuutiful. 🌲 What an ambassador for stamping you are. 😘

[@craftinglady]

Always enjoy your colouring technicques. I am hardly making Slimline cards, as I don't have fitting envelopes and the format is a little challenging for me. Plus, postage is quite high due to special format. So it's rather something to hand over or put into a package.

[@rosiejaxon]

I love the masking technique and I’m going to sure use that. Thank you for your tips and tricks.

[@karennoblitt8364]

I LOVED all the techniques! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@louannewronski4352]

LOVE them both, but the pointsettia card ROCKS!

[@jeanninelabiuk1492]

Good Morning Simon! ☀️Great Video as Always! 💕Loved Both Cards. Helpful Tip if No Die Cuts! Funny How You Let Your Powder Get So Low…Lol…If I’m Halfway Through Something, I’m Like…OH NO! Gotta Get it NOW! Have a Great Day, Take Care, and Be Safe

[@dhauxhurst]

Great tips and tricks!!! Love the mint tape masking idea

[@lauriekirk6192]

Love all of these but the tip with the layering stamps and the Misti is a game changer for multiple cards.

[@angelalr1]

Love the leaf trick !

[@mandydehoog2708]

Lov lov when die cut in the back. Cracks me up every time. Your last card was my fav because I was aware of the other 2 tips already. Stay safe🤗

[@preetirodricks1]

Your tips are always so helpful. Love the cards❤️

[@memessweett4005]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Have a wonderful day

[@robinholschen4485]

love them all that banner technique is awesome for me I don't have a banner die.. love the way you explain everything.. always enjoy your videos.. thank you

[@june-babyjane1]

I love the tree card. And you model that die cutting machine so well 😂

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I loved the first card but did not like the large water blobs. I don't know if your mister is capable of smaller mist but I use a cheap dollar store mister for make up that has a super fine mist and my mist on the card looks more like stars or snow. but I loved the ink blending and especially the night sky. Loved the banner idea and the special card cutting was great as well. You have great ideas.

[@Uncommon_Courtesies]

I love when you include your little side notes and comments to yourself, like when you opened the tree stamp. It shows your fun-loving personality! Great tips, as always. I love the tips for using mint tape for masking, and the DIY banner. Thank you, Simon!

[@Peggy2316]

Love your cards Simon and your videos!! 😊

[@bittyscloset]

AWESOME!!!! You always make it look so easy.

[@kimberlydeamer208]

Great video! I am new to your videos and I got so many great tips, like placing the background stamp on the table (why didn't I think of that?!) Thank you so much and I can't wait to binge watch your channel!

[@TerryZoo14]

Love, love, love the MISTI technique --- the multi-tasking pro!!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Thanks so much Simon. Great video, tips and cards. I think my favourite was the last one with the p.aid background stamp. 😊

[@shirleyphillips8936]

Love the masking technique. I have a favour to ask: my grandson is 10 in a few days time and his interests are soccer, baseball, sailing and luxury cars. Do you have a KZbin making a card that would be suitable?

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Your cards always turn out so well, it's hard to pick a favorite. I do like the ink blending in that first card, the trees are very forest-y and that night sky with the gems is so pretty! I know how it is to have something on your to-do list that you just keep forgetting to do, so am so glad you finally placed an order for some white embossing powder. I was going to ask for a mailing address and send you an assortment myself! 😂 Thanks for sharing these tips, they are interesting and helpful! 👍💖

[@Veronim78]

Great tips very helpful. Thank you for sharing. Love the cards.

[@donnajarrett3241]

Great tips thanks. The banner is my favorite.

[@BluebirdLaneCreations]

Loved the first card! So vibrant!!!

[@lindachiasson5626]

Awesome video! That tree card, oh my!

[@sandrajones8552]

These are clever hacks..thankyou for sharing. 👍🙂

[@julienagengast2392]

Great teaching Simon! Love both, the trees my fave, with beautiful colors.

[@marilynmoore5359]

Thanks so much for your crafting tips. 👏👏

[@ritabrandow1318]

Such great Ideals thank you. I live in such a small town. Right by the Pacific Ocean and the nearest craft store in 86 miles one way.

[@janiceelliott413]

Love them all simon. Will teach Poinsettia one to my pupils.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Such cool 😎 card hacks. Love 💕 your card too. So adorable.

[@lorena617]

So clever to use that technique for layering stamps why i never thought about. Thanks simon i always learn a lot by watching your videos

[@lindacrawford5187]

Tyfs Simon your wonderful tips, especially love how you did the banner tip without a die and cutting the poinsettia at the corners if the paper to put on top of the plaid background.

[@pam_cha]

Again your die cutting commentary cracks me up but I love the addition of trying to get a clear stamp off the backer as I feel your pain! lol I am loving the humor in your videos. You make beautiful cards and thank you for showing the 'mistakes' as well. Oh and I use the same fiskars scissors and love them too!

[@karleblahut1755]

Great tips and great card. Thank you so much xoxo

[@designedbyfaiza6668]

Awesome Misti technique

[@Boatpeep]

Love the interesting cut out on the poinsettia card! AND getting the Misti set up with all your elements to mass produce. Also, you're right about the scissors. I ordered them a while back from your link and love them. Thank you Simon! - Michelle

[@danahkempf7614]

Great video! Loved those trees!

[@lauracarrasco3196]

Love the tree card! I appreciate your time/supply saving ideas!

[@glendathorne7008]

Loved the Misti tip, so easy but I know I wouldn’t have thought to do it that way😊 thanks for sharing.🌜🎄the poinsettia card is lovely, as well as all the others❤️

[@valeriekosiba4227]

These are wonderful ideas, thanks.

[@artsy_again]

Love the stamping hack, will definitely be using that with my Stampin Up Stamparatus! What did you use to put pressure on the stamp?

[@kayfurnish8715]

First, yay! So glad you finally ordered yourself some white embossing powder! LOL Second, I totally agree with you about the alcohol ink black cardstock from Tim Holtz - it has a sort of velvety suede feel to it. I love it! I think the first card with the two rows of Christmas trees is my favorite. It looks very 3-dimensional and those trees are fantastic! And thanks for the chuckle of the day - I love your humorous comments when you do your die cutting! Great video, Simon!

[@Pebblesmas]

Wow looks so amazing!!

[@EmeralDQueenTV]

I think your tips are super cool, thank you my cards now are amazing with your inks!!! :)

[@EC-R]

Thank you for all the wonderful tips. The die cutting machine journey cracks me up... you should totally do a shorts after you acquire a few more just of you die cutting 🤩💚🤣

[@sarascreations6637]

Great tips beautiful card..going to order the tape and white pigment ink!! :) Good job Dude.

[@bobbyfitzgerald4165]

You are such a handsome and talented young man. Love all the cards but the christmas tree was my fav.

[@joannfroman4976]

Thanks for showing us ways to mass-produce cards. ❤️

[@noellevargas1392]

Oh my gosh you're hilarious with that little bit of white embossing powder.... Great video!

[@carol-annhuff4943]

You are so creative and talented! Love this card, I need to buy that wide masking tape

[@rebeccabowman888]

awesome tips, i do like the banner tip

[@AimeeFleck]

I love the Brutus Monroe stamp. Also where does one find the Debbie tool?

[@carolloe2188]

Great cards! Loved them all - plus the “no die” banner hack is helpful.

[@debbiemoore7498]

I never think of spraying the ink…thanks for the tips

[@marilynvancamp5031]

I love this card !

[@alexxchesney6370]

Love this! I’m ordering some four inch tape! Your card turned out so pretty with a lot of depth! Mahalo for always sharing great tips! 🤙🏽😊

[@jennifer1996xxxx]

Great job Simon! Cards are beautiful and I'm glad you finally ordered that power 😆

[@wekobeach7186]

Love your video's very inspiring 🤔

[@andreaowens9267]

I just found your channel. Lovely cards. Do you have a link for the my sweet petunia board? I love how you use it for stamps to stay in place!

[@kayetling8092]

Gorgeous thanks

[@larapapercrafting]

The sentiment banner!

[@mariachristakos]

“Welcome to yet another segment of me awkwardly die-cutting in my background” 😂 I laughed too hard. Lol. Awesome video as always! Great tips (& commentary 😆)! Also, how have I never thought to do that with the Misti?! Such a great idea!!

[@pamsosnowski6575]

Both cards are beautiful, BUT, I enjoyed your poinsettia hack the most. I thought Simon you are wasting a lot of white paper, then you cut it to fit the card perfectly….why Didn’t I think of that? Thank you!! Your tutorials are awesome!!

[@craftcreek4624]

When you get the chance, can you feature your ink colors a little more please? I’d like to learn about the shades & color matching

[@rfowler6039]

I can never get enough of the awkward die cutting in the background! 😊 Seriously, I love watching your videos and always learn something...thanks! 💕

[@kjdryzl]

Liked the Misti mass production trick! So Simon, what’s the joke about the die cutter and it’s awkward position? Was it supposed to be some other way? I know there’s a joke in there somewhere! Lol!

[@jennifermitchell5536]

Beautiful!’

[@karenrichmond640]

I LIKED ALL THE HACKS. GREAT IDEAS. DID YOU KNOW NATASHA FOOT USE YOUR INK PADS .

[@MegaMiaow]

Lol, he actually ordered the embossing powder 🤣

[@kurttrue]

I might not be the first person who's ever told you this, but man you would have loved the Seventies.

[@kurttrue]

And the white space works, Simon. Don't let anybody tell you different.

[@angelalr1]

Where can I get the masking tape ?

[@elsieblakley2381]

You are very clever,

[@cordeliaalderman391]

I adore that poinsettia on the green plaid. I also really like the hack for making a banner without a die. And I crack up every time you talk about "awkwardly die cutting". Too funny! Maybe you should have a t-shirt with your face on the back. That way you can die cut with your back to the camera, but still be facing the camera. Just sayin'!
