You haven’t lost it waiting to use all your tools Simon!!! Loved your Video!!! Card tip that was my favorite was the the redoing the banner into something completely different!!

[@leahfoy7844]

YOU ARE AWESOME SIMON!!! You ALWAYS amaze me!

[@Renegram3]

The one using the tape to cover the words and only stamp the scrolls! Amazing!!!

[@stardustgirl2904]

My son's would never craft . Draw or paint maybe, but that would be it.

Hi Simon, I’m a new subscriber and just love your channel. When inking a large stamp and adding details like different colors, how do you prevent your ink from drying before you have had a chance to stamp the image onto card stock? Another question regarding inks, what’s the difference between different ink types? For example, I saw you used dye ink and archival inks. So far, I am really enjoying your channel. Where can we purchase supplies that other companies make and the products you created? Thank you very much! I love making cards, but I haven’t created any in awhile due to a chronic illness. Do you have any coupon codes? I’m on disability and don’t have much of any type of expendable income to do what I love. Sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. Have a wonderful day! - Tina

[@robertamiller9096]

We need a tour of the new craft room and how you store your supplies.

[@kathyahibbert]

Masking off the sentiment and creating more detail to the background is genius. I've always thought it was too late, but with this tip, it's never too late. Tank you!🙂

[@mariedaley3181]

I like both of your cards. The first card is really cool with the stencil and how the inks blend together.

[@monicaingold4497]

Beautiful! Using the Debbie tool for pressing down on the paper 🤗

[@chrisarlington1792]

I love the effect of the embossing with the inks . Thank you.

[@sarahj4cardsandcrafts]

Thanks for reminding me that I can use my stencils to “lift” the color up with water reactive inks. I’ve totally forgotten that technique. Will use it again today!! 👍🏼

[@kblack861]

I never can choose one favorite because I enjoy learning the different hacks you share with us! Loved the ombre, the water over the stencil, the banner/sentiment hack and of course your great background stamp. Your craft room is looking great, you'll get back into the creative swing of things now that you're unpacking and into your new space.

[@kellyskardsfl]

I love your new craftroom and setup. You are such a talented cardmaker and your personality shines through in your videos.

[@Emilie19614]

also thanks for the idea with the scissors. I had them and never used them for fussy cutting. Now I do it all the time!

[@vixla4247]

I liked both cards. They aren't complicated but they don't look simple either. Thank you for sharing your talent

[@lynnfetzer6424]

The filming is super clean and gorgeous. Your craft room looks great. Thanks for sharing these tips!

[@jeannetteburnett1457]

You are incredible! The cards are always beautiful. They are not all that hard to do, but they have an extra something that make them so appealing. I wish I could fussy cut like you do.

[@danaparker3628]

You are so amazing Simon! I always learn something new when I watch your posts! Thank you for all you do!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Wow, those blues look luscious.

[@ruthjames715]

Those cards are so beautiful. Masking is a great idea, I love the Autumn leaves stamp. It's so versatile. Thanks Simon

[@cindydecker57]

Great setup in your new craft room - excellent video quality, and I like the portrait depth of field mode. My fav is the “thanks so much…” banner die cut and the finished card, the ink painting really took it up a notch and gave the banner good depth!

[@lindavinson1273]

So glad to see you in your new craft space! The cards are really, really nice. Love to see your wonderful ideas and the outcomes are impressive. Thank you for sharing, Simon. 🥰

[@michellepenfold4697]

Beautiful... I love the leaf background with your autumn leaf colours!! 🍁🍂🍁🍃🍁

[@evagriffiths1914]

Oh my goodness you are adorable. So glad you have your beautiful new craft space. Thanks so much for all the tips and tricks. Always learn so much from you.

[@barbbassano1417]

That is just beautiful, what an effect the stencil gives this card

[@follyfotogirl]

Hello Simon, I realize that this is a late to the game and I was like two years old but I am just now seeing your channel and loving it so I’m kind of binge watching you so to speak! 😁 anyway that is one beautiful, gorgeous, amazing card… And so simple thank you for showing me how to simplicity can be beautiful! I can’t wait to get started with all my card making ideas!

[@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654]

Always enjoys spending time with you. 🥰 I liked the first one the best. Bringing the eye to the center of the card.

[@nancyglaspie6735]

I use my brayer for large background stamps! Blue is always my favorite!

[@lizamendez41]

Great to see you back again. Enjoyed all your tips, especially how you stretch the use from the banner stamp.

[@vandanagupta4394]

Loved the shading technique of the first card ,,looks beauutiful 👍👍❤️❤️

[@kareneaton433]

I love the last card, the banner shading was perfect. I also love taking a few images from the background stamp and emphasize them with the light shading, beautiful card.

[@melodiefreund2026]

The banner blew my mind! Love the cards and I think your craft room is gorgeous.

[@karenwhite1111]

Super simple but absolutely gorgeous!

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

I love the blue ombré color blending! Also, I love your new craft space! It looks very neat and tidy and makes a great backdrop! Keep posting your awesome tips and tricks!

[@gwentunis201]

Stunning and beautiful colors.

[@dianalama1591]

It was good seeing you again!!! Love them all but the blues on the ombré is stunning!!!

[@janegotelli7152]

You just seem to have better ideas each time. I am really enjoying your videos. And your products. Having so much fun with the Lunar and Solar.

[@charlottesnyder8694]

That first card is fabulous!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Thank you for showing off my Debby tool, Simon! I really depreciate you helping me keep it relevant.

[@suebouch4074]

I enjoyed your video… you’ve come a looonnnggg way since I first saw you. Your creativity and product knowledge as well as your entrepreneurial pursuits has grown to the point of earning the respect of long-time stampers, card makers, your fellow KZbin videographers, and, yes, even me. I really like your inks and the background stamps that feature sections to stamp separately. Thanks for sharing your creativity and useful tips. Have a great day! 🙂

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I have a Jack Russel that Has the same hobby as your dog, car watching and barking. No problem. Anyone who has a dog understands. Love your channel. Keep being creative.

[@marymassman258]

Card #1. Beautiful colors and technique.

[@alyssagriffin5781]

Yas! Totally relate to the random die cut station!! I have one too!

[@billiedean5914]

Your craft room looks great! Awesome tips, thank you Simon!

[@cindyellis765]

Loved all the cards, but my fave is the ink blended in blues.

[@kayfurnish8715]

Since blue is my favorite color, I of course liked the first card best, but the Fall card was gorgeous too! I chuckled when you smooshed the ink on the left side of your work (for shading the banner). It's the same premise as putting the ink pad on the right! Old habits are hard to break! Can hardly wait for your new craft room tour!

[@pattieduffy4992]

LOVE, Love, Love your background pull apart stamps and inks! Enjoy all your tutorials and great tips . Thanks

[@gayle1055]

Awesome video, Simon. Congrats on the completion of your new craft room. I bet you’re thrilled. Would love to see the rest of your room. I loved all the cards and ideas.

[@gerilynne1955]

It was because of you that I bought those frisk scissors. Huge help for me. With having arthritis it makes a big difference for cutting. It's those little tips that help the most. I'm surprised you didn't hang your inks on the walls. Someday I hope to have mine all set up.

[@kimk8255]

I loved both cards and the great tips you provided while making the cards!

[@gwentunis201]

That blue card was my favorite.

[@robinswaytoday]

Yes, I am new to card making and I want to see more of your hacks. TYSM! 👍

[@robinholschen4485]

I love them both.. you are always my favorite .. you explain everything so well.. it makes me feel more confident to try the techniques you share.. even when mine is a flop I re watch you and try again.. lots of smiles

[@bettyamersbach276]

Love the new craft room!!! Thanks for today's tips!!!

[@smartcookiesonu]

I loved the fall leaves background card. The stamp is great, but you brought it to life in that card!!

[@baboo7192]

I love that Fall card and the cool way you colored it!❤❤❤ 👍🏼

[@jennifermitchell5536]

Great tips! Look forward to the craft room tour! Thank you Simon!

[@anitalegasse4144]

love them both. The banner was a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@kaymastclinic2171]

Your new craft space is definitely a winner Simon. Congrats. Love this tips video. I also love both cards, how does one choose a favourite when they are completely different to each other and both awesome. 😍

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Your new space looks wonderful. How cool that Gina K sent some stamps. I love the first card you made. So pretty. I do really like the background stamp too.

[@kimmer823]

Will you be doing a craft room tour?

[@Momof31996]

Wow this was awesome. Loved the way you used banner and added a different sentiment. Great tips here.

[@suetownsend1932]

Welcome to your beautiful, new craft room. Enjoy!! Thanks for an interesting video with so many tips and hints.

[@kayetling8092]

Loved your tips!!! Embossing powder tip n tye others. Will need to rewatch again. Thanks

[@cordeliaalderman391]

It's alway so hard to pick a favorite, but that first card was outstanding.

[@sueplatt8899]

Love the leaf & banner card❤️ thanks for all your tips in stamping!

[@giselled.4149]

Using mint tape as masking paper is so smart! Awesome cards! I look forward to seeing a craft room tour.

[@martharodriguez4864]

Simon, I loved the technique…..thank you so much for sharing!

[@hummingbird828]

I love your videos! You have a good way of explaining things. I am just starting out on my stamping journy again I should say because many many years ago I had a huge collection of rubberstamps from phantasia but I stoped using them because it was so hard to see if the image was lining up. Now with the transparent stamps that's not a problem anymore and that makes me so happy! Thank you for all your great advice and entertaining videos and I hope you will continue doing what you're doing for a very long time!

[@czdesign]

Fabulous. All of it! And your new space looks (and sounds!) so terrific! YAY SIMON!

[@jacquibain6821]

Love the craft room so jealous lol I love both but the blue one is stunning

[@judygordon2935]

Beautiful cards!!! Thank you for all the creative ways you help us use the tools. Never would have thought to use the Debbie tool that way!

[@EC-R]

Glad to see you back in the craft room. I like the water through the stencil on your first card. I was expecting you to use white.. pleasant surprise 🤩

I loved all the cards. If I need to choose just one, it would be the first one. Thank you for sharing and love your craft room!
