My favorite was the branches. I liked all of them but I have always had problems getting realistic looking evergreen branches. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I love how you used Stamping Foam with items from nature. The leaves with Lunar Paste is my favorite...but that's because you had me at Lunar Paste! Also loved that there was an Awkward Die Cutting moment! --Kristin
Watching live replay. Love the “awkward diecutting” segment. 😆 you’re so funny! Thanks for showing economical ways to use the tools we have and things around us. You rock!
THIS is what you do best: giving us ideas and inspiration on how to use things around us and in our stash to do AMAZING things. Thank you for this video, Simon! Kind regards from Germany, Nicola
I was having a not so good day with a bit of pain - your “awkward die cutting” really made me laugh ( it always does) I loved both cards but the green background from the larger foam was really spectacular.
You have come into your own Simon. You are very professional as well a friend to your followers. Your stamping foam is a must have in the craft room. Today's cards were wonderful. I enjoy watching your videos and always have a difficult time on choosing my favourite. Today's favourite card has to bee the cedar branches and ornaments combo. Continued success to you Simon.

This stamping foam is just magical! I want to try it on some doilies my grandmother made. Love having stamps from nature and found objects. So glad it is available! 🦋🦋🦋
I love the natural look that all the leaf and pine needles provided to your creation! ❤ I can’t wait to try this technique. Simon thanks for sharing your creativity!
I really loved the leaves stamped in the foam, we used to paint leaves and press them onto paper or canvas for a similar result. Never as beautiful as the card with the metallic glazes, though! Gorgeous!
Great tips, Simon! I love the Lunar Paste on the black cardstock - so dramatic! It's great that you also showed us how to use the leftover paste for backgrounds too. I've discovered that even if I don't like a background I can die cut leaves, etc., out of them and they always turn out amazing. I'm jealous of your leaves and evergreen boughs that you used - nothing like that in the California desert where I live!
Genius! I always had problems with nature printing, working with natural leaves before they broke down or my paint got too thick. This is a great solution!
😊 Game changer Simon. I have done Leaf 🍁 stamping before but you take to a whole new level. Love this. I am going to get some leaves outside and do this with my foams too. Love all of your cards too. Amazing 🤩
Loved the leaves with Lunar paste on black, striking contrast! The smooching backgrounds hold endless possibilities too, masculine with cogs and gears to kiddywinkle cards. You so inspire me but your products are hard to come by in Australia, sob!
I love that last card. The cedar branch background really set off the stamped branches and ornaments. And, I'm going to have to try brayering my lunar pastes.
Love the awkward die cutting ! 😂 I can see how the Stamping Foam is such a great tool. It seems you can make almost anything into a stamp. Thanks for the inspiration ♥️
Fantastic cards! Love the pine branches! Stamping foam has soooo many different uses. And thank you for the awkward die-cutting. You're the best Simon 💙
Wow I love your stamping foam technique and your cards they are beautiful. I will defiantly try these techniques. I do have your stamping foam and I love it and your Lunar paste I bought all the colors. 😀 Awesome Simon as always!!! Thank you so much
Brilliant technique! I have done tons of gelli plate prints with leaves… never thought to use mint tape to secure the arrangement…🙄! And of course using the stamping foam is fun and creates such great panels! Another terrific inspiration video Simon, TY!!
Awkward die cutting for the win! You always make beautiful cards, it's hard to pick a favorite because they each have their merits and individual beauty. That said, I do really like that Christmas tree one with the ornaments, it's like a micro view into a real decorated Christmas tree.
I'm a bit confused, easily done at my age 🤣 What did you stamp out the string stamp for? I love the idea of your stamp foam, will have to see if I can get some in the UK. Both cards are beautiful but my favourite has to be the inked 2nd one x
I noticed you didn’t tape your stamping block on your stamping foam before using. Have you found it easier or faster to not use it? I liked both of your cards. Thanks for the video ❤️
That stamping foam is so cool! Last time I tried doing leaf prints I was really struggling to press the leaves into the paper and get a good clear impression. This looks much easier! I need to get some of that stuff! I love the color of those inks too! I love bright colors these are some of the nicest I've seen! Are these dye-based?
You've got some nerve...asking us to choose our favorite from two beautiful amazing cards...LOL. I love them both and can't wait to try them. I've had that foam stamp forever and never really did anything with it. Thanks for another blast from the past!
This video almost slipped through my watch list! Guess what I have to make a card containing pine leaves. I'm off to stalk the neighbourhood... thanks for the inspiration
I have an order of stamping foam on the way (as soon as SSS ships Tim's new color). I can't wait to try out these techniques. Love the lunar paste on black (black backgrounds are my thing) but I also really like the evergreen boughs cards. It's quite vibrant and just generally yummy. As I've mentioned numerous times, I just love this release and I'm so tempted to ditch this year's holiday cards design and make them with these great stamps and dies. (If not, I'm def doing a retro card with your hot foil retro ornaments next year. It's already basically designed and I have ALL the product.)
Simon, question...if you were to make one block as you did and let it cool, would you be able to heat another block and press it onto the original block to make the leaves stand out more than the background? Wonder if you've tried it and how it would work...still on the fence about getting them. Thanks for your response. Blessings!
Hi friends! Leave a comment letting me know which card is your favorite. :)

Enjoyed learning this technique

Stamping foam with REAL leaves and evergreen sprigs! WOW!!!
OMG I think my mouth actually dropped open with the leaves when you stamped them! YESSSS Love this video, Simon!
I like all the cards, but the last one with green background is my favorite
I love how you used Stamping Foam with items from nature. The leaves with Lunar Paste is my favorite...but that's because you had me at Lunar Paste! Also loved that there was an Awkward Die Cutting moment! --Kristin
Great idea! Leaves beyond my gel plate!
Omg! I think that last card is my most favorite out of all the Christmas cards so far this year. Spectacular!

I just watched the replay of this video and loved it. My favorite part was the pressing of the real leaves and then the ornaments. Great video.🙂

Lovely Christmas card Simon. I love the way you did the branches for the background. Yvonne
That lunar paste is freaking amazing!
Evergreen card was my fave also. The large stamping foam is great - I need one!! TYFS Simon! ❤

Impressed! Love the last card - so colorful! thanks
I love them all but the leaves are my favorite.

Wow your freaking awsome. I adore all your creations. You bring all these crafts to another level. So much fun! Thank you!

Really love this idea. I can decide. They were both what I really like. Great cards!

Really awesome Simon! Love the look of the leaves!

Loved all your projects and the awkward die cutting! Your stamping foam is so much fun, and the lunar paste on black cardstock is always gorgeous.
I love the cedar branches with 3 green inks, so beautiful! Your fall colored leaves is so pretty as well!

I have several of your stamping foams & love them all. Hard to decide which card I like better! Can I please call it a tie? TFS!
Awkward die cutting for the win! You always make beautiful cards, it's hard to pick a favorite because they each have their merits and individual beauty. That said, I do really like that Christmas tree one with the ornaments, it's like a micro view into a real decorated Christmas tree.
Best session. Love the foam ideas

Fabulous idea..perfect cards❤

These were amazing! I think the evergreens card was my fave. I need to get that larger foam! Great job!

Hi handsome! Don’t you just love the crunching sound of leaves as you walk through them?

Love this card and your technique’s

Awkward die cutting 🤣🤣🤣 Both card makes are vibrant with color. I'm gonna pick the 1st card for my fave! Thank you for sharing .
Love your videos. You do some great work.
Super cute cards🤩
Can’t wait to try this! Thanks!
Gorgeous! I guess I’m just going to have to break down & order your stamping foam!
I did and it's so Fun and addicting! I impressed my dogs paw print... so sweet!
But now I've gotta get some lunar paste!! 😄
Beautiful cards
Lovec the leaves. 🥰👍👌
