    Simon, I just wanted let you know that I'm a new follower (I'm 61yo!) and you have taught me so much! I LOVED the foiled cards and how easy you made it look. I'm grateful you are amongst the makers. With you I seem to have less anxiety when it comes to making cards. I've never been good at making them. Thanks for the show of just how easy it can be.

    I came across one of your early videos when your line first started, cannot believe how much you have grown (both artistically and age wise). Love your work from the start, initially bought your steps for fun cards for older children/teens, now buy the bundles at Ranger because your range has expanded. Your tutorials are filled with great ideas and your inks and paper are wonderful (waiting for even more inks). I love being a fan from the start, you are an amazing talent who I know will continue to grow.

    I die cut some intricate butterflies from Brutus Monroe from “Lunar Pasted” card stock, and they were gorgeous! I also appreciate your reminders that fussy cutting is really not that hard. I purchased the spring-assist scissors at your recommendation, and I love them, and I’m being a little more judicious about what dies I buy, knowing that fussy cutting is a perfectly viable option in many cases. Thanks for all your great tips.

    I haven't yet succumbed, I mean tried! the mint tape yet, but you sure make it look useful and versatile. My fave card was the final one, where the white mask sets off both the bleached/stenciled background and the sentiment so effectively. Thanks again for the inspiration!

    Love the first card. I'm going to have to try that! I got that color wheel on the advice of Cathy Z & it has changed how I create cards. Sometimes things just didn't look right. Well, it was because the colors didn't coordinate. Also, on one of your previous videos you showed fussy cutting & I started doing that too. I like the looks so much better.

    Loved that last card with the lunar paste sentiment! Question on the tape and heat gun. On the first card embossing with the tape attached to card still, did it change or melt the stickiness? I saw you pull it off and it came off fine but I would have thought the heat would have melted the tapes stickiness. Was it harder to remove than normal? Loved the hack for both positive and negative usage but I definitely loved the last. More color, plus the stencil technique and sentiment, beautiful!

    Hello Simon, I enjoyed them both equally. When I retired, you were the first demonstrator I watched. I now have Parkinson and can not possibly "fussy cut." Is there another way to make a shadow?

    • @bunnylands916
      @bunnylands916 2 роки тому

      If you don't have shadow word dies, you could try creating a shadow effect with an ordinary word die by layering two die cuts. Cut the bottom layer from white or black cardstock, and offset it slightly to create the shadow effect. (There's a video titled something like "15+ Die Cutting Hacks" that shows this much more clearly than I can describe it -- it's in the section of the video about 6-1/2 minutes from the beginning.) Hope this helps!
