    Simon, none of your fans is perfect. It can be a bit intimidating when the crafters we watch are always perfect and always make perfect cards. Think of us as friends who are here to enjoy whatever you have to teach and who want you to share your imperfections. Laugh about them and we’ll laugh along with you.

    Reviewing a favorite technique, color scheme, stamp set of yours, etc. If Subscribers have bought a stamp set of yours and you create with it again, we too would feel inspired to use it! I also like to watch card creations with monochromatic color schemes. Love your channel.🩵🩵🩵

    We all love you Simon. You deserve a break. When you lose the “mojo” that’s Gods way of saying VACATION TIME! Yahoo! Out the way peeps, we out o here! That’s what I do. After about a week I’ve got so many new ideas( I had to write them down) I couldn’t wait to get back to my lab. It’s really a studio but I do a lot of experimenting so it’s more of a lab. See you came back strong. Thanks for learning us a thing or two.

    Thanks for the tip about using the Embossing Buddy on the edges of the foam tape before you add it to the shaker card! I was trying to add it after, and it wasn't always successful because of the angle. My fave is the reindeer shaker!

  • @wendymcdonald7351
    @wendymcdonald7351 Před rokem

    Both cards are lovely in their own way but my favorite is definitely the deer card. I also ditto all the people that are letting you know we don't care about perfection! We are just crafter sponges absorbing all kinds of information. Welcome back 🙂

  • @terriconrad4612
    @terriconrad4612 Před rokem +3

    Simon.... as you’ve heard before.... perfection is overrated. You have made a career out of your creativity and love for what you do. Out of that, you inspire all of us out here in crafty land, to reach further and use what we have been gifted with.... whether small or extreme . I know it must be difficult to come up with ideas that are new... but when I look at what you do, you really have done that all along. Your line, your creative ideas... have touched many! We all have that little dude called “mojo” that sneaks away from us at times and we have to go searching for him again.... but please know that you are gifted and talented... and no matter what you come up with....you have inspired someone! Consider me another very proud crafty mom! Do what you do... it’s enough. Oh! Before I forget! I loved both card ideas! Not time consuming which I need now! Lol! I think the stag is a prefect masculine idea! Ok. Now I’m done. Thank you and have a very Merry Christmas! 💕🙋‍♀️🎄

    Hi Simon - sometimes you have to back away from what you're doing so you can get the creative juices flowing again. I find that I come back stronger and more creative.

    No one knows how many shaker cards I've tried to just to trash them!!! Your tips are so appreciated! I've gone through so many creator blocks this year; to the point I made only 2 or 3 personalized cards and put all my Christmas supplies away. Got to take them out again, because you've made this look so much easier. I love when artists reveal they too have blocks but forge through. You're an inspiration to all of us. GOD BLESS!

  • @renatebaumgartner2921

    When I was getting a Master's degree in German and English literature, I developed a writer's block. It was because I was a perfectionist and wanted the papers I had to write not only well-researched, but also eloquently written. I got out of this by not worrying how it was written, but just getting my research and thoughts down on paper. Once I was done with that process I began to revise. When I had finished that, I was amazed how well my paper was written. I have learned since I began to craft that the same principle applies for the creative process. When making a card or a wreath or an arrangement (which is what I do), you just have to do it, just start somewhere and keep going. The ideas will begin to come, and before you know you will have created something that you are totally pleased with. So, Simon, when you feel the Muse has left you, just take that first step, and the rest will come :).

    But….inking really challenges me so much that I avoid it.
    Well -- you showed how to use inks on die cuts and the plaid background ANNNND -- I am now feeling more grounded to give it a try.
    Thinking too much - that is my life in many MANY things.
    Thank you for all the preparations to provide your tutorials. I know it takes a lot.
    Thank you for sharing your skills and talents to help us learn and grow as we develop ours - and -- to inspire us to CREATE!

    Well Simon you've done it again! you've totally blown it out of the park. I am so glad you are the first person I have ever known to use something to eliminate the static and everything sticking to the tape. I've been using baby powder for years but since you need the static powder anyhow..... what a brilliant idea! Always learning something from you and I love to watch you work...love them ALL!

  • @carriejones5776
    @carriejones5776 Před rokem

    Really liked both cards. The vignetting is a good tip and I liked that you used 3 different colored sequins for the shaker. I have not seen anyone do that before and I thought it added to the overall look of the card. I also liked that you just doubled up the foam tape. That seems easier than folding it in half. A great tip. Also liked the dimension on the poinsettia and use of lunar paste instead of gem for center is a great idea -adds shine without bulk. Love that lunar paste! I am going to order the plaid stamp. It seems very versatile. I make loads of mistakes on almost every single card I make. It is refreshing to see when others make mistakes too and how they fix those mistakes or what they do to still utilize and still turn out a beautiful card. Remember that next time you feel the need to be “perfect”. I think a lot of people like Cathy Zielske because she is brave enough to show her mistakes and laugh about it and still turn out gorgeous cards. The mistakes is where the learning is at-not the “perfect” cards.

But I’m guessing you felt a bit lighter afterwards. Also, remember Mario’s words to Tim, “Get Over Yourself!” We love YOU Simon, not the technique or the idea or the next new product. I appreciate and value you as a person who just happens to be insanely talented. Any Judgety McJudge or Negative Nellaroo isn’t worth a second thought! Big crafty hugs and blessings from Ky.

    Ha, I always forget where I have my acetate is stored and all assembly comes to a stop while I search. I have those CD envelopes and never thought to use them in a pinch. Thanks for that tip. I love all the tips and both cards are outstanding. You gave me some ideas for using object dies, tea cup, tree, truck, etc., to use for shaker cards. I usually cut circles, squares or ovals. The stag is such a nice treat. I'm going to try the technique for the background of the second card as I like that "not perfect" look and the minute you added the poinsettias, they brought all the elements together to compliment one another. Thank you for sharing.

  • @ACreativeMuse
    @ACreativeMuse Před rokem +1

    Great video Simon! I have to try that shaker with the stag die set. And I’m loving the black platinum 6 machine 🥰👍.
    Here’s another tip - keep your large 3M foam tape roll in a 10x13 ziploc bag at all times. As it takes time to finish the roll. But it’ll stay fresh - meaning no yellowing and retain a strong hold 😉👍

You asked if there was anything that we wanted to learn. well I have trouble with foiling, I know you use the gemini foiling machine, but I have the minic and still can not seem to get it to work right. I hate wasting foil, so I don't use it. It is a great tool if I could use. I have watched tons of videos and still don't get the same out come as the video.

    Hi Simon, Both cards are so pretty. I've never used plaid before but I think I need to give it a try! When you were doing the poinsettia, I thought "oh, those circles need to be yellow," but the lunar paste was the perfect touch. I am glad you are back. I always enjoy what you have to show us.

  • @nicolalederer9517
    @nicolalederer9517 Před rokem

    Sometimes the „easy“, „obvious“ tips are the real revelations: I‘ve known about using the antistatic powder on the foam tape - and there has been a fair amount of moaning and cursing as I tried to get the excess of the shaker window, I can assure you :) And the solution is so simple: powder the tape BEFORE sticking it down! Thank you so much for sharing this tip, Simon! Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

    All your videos are sooo inspiring and informative. Can you do more plaid demos, mixing in the pinstripe . I think this will create some great effects. Thank you 🌍 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍

    Great, beautiful cards. Love these ideas. Sometimes we try too hard to make our creations perfect but we should take the to enjoy our hobby. Handmade and therefore unique to us is the way to go. Merry Christmas to all! X

    I’m glad you’re back! I have been away from crafting for months for other reasons. You are right, it’s also great just interacting. That is just as important as the technique shown. I find inspiration from videos that review techniques previously done, too. It’s all good.

      My favorite card is the Poinsettia card. I love the idea of using the lunar paste in the center!

    I love that plaid you made out of your pads. Thanks for the techniques I have been having trouble keeping them in the area without losing some I think making the foam tape thinner will really help. Tfs. I LOVE that card and plaid.

    Simon I’ve watched you from the very beginning and you are still giving me tips every time I watch!!! Loved the shaker tips… I would never have thought to use the cute deer for a shaker and lived him! The water color bouquet was so pretty!! Merry Christmas!!!😊

  • @Gloria_Davis
    @Gloria_Davis Před rokem

    Simon, I laughed out loud when you said you could not find your acetate! That was me yesterday and today I could not find my container of washi tape. I ❤ the deer and the suggestion on using the storage bag. I could not tell the difference. For the dots in the poinsettia I used a Qtip to do the dots. Then just throw away when done!

    Simon, These cards were so nice. My Hubby & I make 250+ Christmas cards a yr & the 2nd card would be so easy to make in bulk. I am an over thinker too & sometimes you do need a break to give your brain some time off.

    I loved the tip about anti static powder!! I don’t know how I’ve missed that before.
    I have anxiety and perfection issues. We imperfect people need to unite and support one another. We’d have a much better world. ❤😂❤
    I love both cards, but I’m a flower person, so the poinsettia is my favorite.

  • @cordeliaalderman391

    That deer shaker is hands down my fave. Both cards are fabulous (as usual). I purchased the plaid builder stamp when it came out. I think it was worth every penny!

  • @Elizabeth45840

    Awesome Card.Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I never thought to add powder to tape ahead of time. Never thought of deer head and more. Thanks again.

    Hi Simon! The reindeer shaker card is my favorite. I've missed your enthusiasm and energy in your videos lately. In your previous videos, you had a big smile and bubbly energy. I miss that. Please bring him back! Love your channel!

    Glad to see you back. Yes, do not overthink. Everyone needs break from time to time. We are a caring and understanding community and we are all far from perfect. LOL. But this is a perfect video for me as I hope to make shaker cards for my grandkids for Christmas and I hardly ever make shaker cards. I like the reindeer.

    Have you tried a penny card/spinner card? So fun and the movement in the card is fun too! I love Xmas or Easter cards where the bunny spins or what ever you like spins across the card. It's an older idea and I don't remember where I learned it but maybe you can bring it back to life! 💓🐰💓

    OMG, Simon - both are excellent, but I'm particularly in awe of your deer shaker!!! GORGEOUS!!!!!! P.S. - thank you for sharing your creativity with us! I get where you're coming from on pressuring yourself - I often have a hard time making a card I'd like to just because I don't think it'll turn out "good enough," all the while missing the point of why I'm creating in the first place (to let the recipient know they matter and to brighten their day!). THANK YOU for brightening our day! (P.S.S... even as a pink-loving girl, I have to say I'm not particularly fond of those plates, either! 😆)
    MERRY CHRISTMAS and may God bless you and your loved ones this season and all year through!

    Simon, I liked the plaid shaker card. Great tip with the anti static tool and the doubling of 3M tape. And, I am not a huge fan of those videos that show that perfect card. I want to learn how I can use those scraps to fix my mistakes. Thank you…I love your videos and look forward to your next one.

    Welcome back! Great video! Love both the cards - very sophisticated! Appreciate the wealth of tips as well! I also appreciated the video about different ways to use lunar paste. I would appreciate some tips on how to use lunar place on a large background stamp. Put a thicker layer down so won’t dry too fast on stamp? Or? Maybe have a tub of water next to where I stamp before I start. Anyway, appreciate your sharing your creativity & your clever tips & hacks! Encouraging!!! Thanks a lot!
