When coloring tiny pieces, I hold each piece in place using the sticky side of a strip of low-tack tape. Hold that strip in place on your craft surface, sticky side up, with another piece of tape at each end. Remove the colored piece when done coloring.
I love both cards. The trees are so neat. And the gnome with the pretty blue background is adorable. Using the stencil and water is brilliant. I do not mind you using your die cut machine at all. It makes it real. We all have one of one style or another.
Holy scraping the bottom of the white embossing powder Batman! 🤣🤣 Love your videos Simon, I always learn something from you. And get a laugh! I think you need to add a Vanna White move for the die cutting!
Simon- I love your tricks and these gorgeous creations you came up with. Some of us have so many things in our stash that we don’t use. It is fun to bring them out once in awhile. Pics instead of various colors of card stock…BRILLIANT! If you leave them inside the negative space from the diecut card stock, it is easier to hold them in place for coloring. Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍 Loved the handsome gnome AND the tree card both. I could t pick a favorite.
I liked the gnome card quite a bit. Especially the inked background with the stencil. I also appreciated the simplicity of the tree card. Both are good.
How do you come up with the coolest and most adorable cards?? Both turned out great! I love how you always have such great ideas how to use products in different ways! I'm sure somebody mentioned this already. Use the negative space of the die cuts. First by lining the back of the cardstock, sticky side down with low tact tape. That way when you lay the pieces into the negative spaces, the pieces stay put and are easier to color. I saw another card maker do this recently, but I can't remember who. Thank you
I was thinking the same thing. Plus the cost of this kit is sort of steep. $50 is a bit much for gnomes, especially since I will not likely even make a dozen gnome projects. I started flipping through photos of my dies (I keep photos of each magnetic sheet that stores my dies). I discovered I can put together a gnome from other dies. Dies meant to cut hair, leaves, and various flower parts can be repurposed into gnome craft. It’s like money saved. Plus I get more use from dies I already have which improves their cost/use ratios.
@@rtd1791 yes! Great idea. I have so many other dies that I’m sure I can come up with something. Still not sure I’ll ever make a grams card tho 😆 I may use the techniques and spotlight a completely different type of image. But I love that he die cuts in all white and then colors them with the ink pads…nothing fancy, but clever. 😃👍🏼
Fabulous Video and Tutorials Simon! I Love How Your Gnome Turned Out! I Tried Making a Version of Your Tree Card Last Year..but it DIdn’t Out So Well…Lol I May Try it Again Using Your Tips. Take Care, and Be Safe! 👋🏼
Thanks for another great video! I love both cards, but the gnome is adorable. Thanks also for the tip of putting some liquid adhesive on the foam tape, I always need some wiggle room. Going to get some of your card stock.
Yesterday I ordered the Gnome for the Holidays kit. I missed it last year. Today I watched your video and added the Festive Fall set. I love both cards! 🎄
Love your TH-cam channel Simon -such talent. I loved the Christmas Trees until I saw your Gnome. . . Can't choose -love them both. Well done Simon, as usual.
Beautiful cards… love how easy you created your cards background, I also enjoyed the stencil technique on the Christmas 🎄 card…thank you for sharing your ideas.
I hope you enjoyed the video! Comment letting me know which card is your fave. :)

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing
I feel like your Grandma I've been watching so long turning into a responsible young man. Love your educational videos.

LOVE the tree card! I love using tree stamps/dies!
Had no idea the gnome could be so cute. Thanks
I absolutely love the gnome card. I wouldn’t have thought to use the dies from the fall set for hands and a coffee cup. Genius!
Totally cracking up over the trips to the die cut machine... definitely a fabulous treat 🤣 the tree card is gorgeous 💚🤩
Like both of them. The 1st is my favorite because it's beautifully simple.
Also the clarity of this video is amazing. Almost seemed like real time
Very fun. I have never applied glitter glitz gel with a foam applicator and I love the idea of Getting the shine without too much texture.
LOVE LOVE LOVE both the gnome and tree cards ... great job Simon
Loved the gnome card but the simplicity of the tree card
cute gnome card. The tree card is really cool! Nice ideas for use of the gnome kit.
Thanks Cheryl! I loved this kit!!
That gnome card was adorable. I love it. The 3 trees are more elegant than cute. They are both wonderful cards! Thanks for the tips along the way.
I love your cards and personality. You would be a blast to hang out with

Both cards are wonderfully creative, but the simplicity of the gnome with the open white space? 😍😍😍😍
That’s my fave too!! I love the simplicity💙

Considering I don't like gnomes he's very cute. Using all the different medias to colour was genius! The tree card is beautiful and classy.
