Hi friends! Leave a comment letting me know which card is your favorite. :) ✭ FULL supply list with PICTURES: ldli.co/e/3oyq4od

[@kayenash5481]

Simon all your cards are fabulous 💖

[@Armymom65]

The shaker card! Thank you for showing such an easy technique. Sometimes I overthink shaker cards, and holds me back from just making them.

[@robinsotomayor3041]

Simon I liked them all, so hard to choose. What is the pen with the rubber end called, please.

[@XenobiaF]

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.

[@terriking7836]

This, Simon. Exactly this! ❤

[@iselahersan8758]

I couldn't agree more with the above comment. No one is perfect and sharing experiences, mistakes and good advice is what makes us learn. Making cards is not easy, just have fun because we enjoy ur great ideas.

[@rebeccahenson5328]

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.

[@annaromero6312]

We all have times when we are just not feeling it and taking a break can be a good thing. You shouldn’t worry about being perfect because none of us are. Thank you for all that you do. 🥰💕

[@ramonamendez7495]

Simon I love the fact that the stamp was not perfect and you still used it to make a beautiful card!!!!

[@marysharvey]

We all have times when we don’t feel like creating. It’s ok. I’m glad you took the time to recharge your batteries. Love your cards!

[@kathleenuribe3541]

Simon, we missed you. We don't expect you to be perfect. It is just fun to watch you to create on the go!!!

[@Cre8iveCindy]

Simon, We love you. You don't have to be perfect. You have to be Simon. Don't watch other content influencers, then you won't have anyone to compare yourself to.

[@jonyelle1]

Thank you for sharing the tip about powdering the edge of the foam tape on shaker cards! I also like the idea of using your stash to create shaker cards!! Thank you for sharing your awesome ideas!!😍

[@bethskorupski7642]

The deer card you made is simply beautiful! I love how you brought in the shape of the deer for the window and didn't over complicate your design. Thank you for your great tips!

[@MsShanarun]

I look forward to your videos! I bet you could even create a category of "Oldies, but Goodies" and re-make an old video! 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.🩵🩵🩵

[@judevivier153]

I love your tip with the embossing buddy and the doubled foam tape! Awesome, ty!!

[@kayfurnish8715]

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!

[@julgomesbus]

Never second guess yourself, Simon. Your videos are so much fun because of your honest and fun personality. You are one of the few that I am subscribed to and I always learn something new from you! Keep these great videos coming!

[@wendymcdonald7351]

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 🙂

[@stamperssecret5379]

Ooooh, adding that Lunar Paste is a nice touch

[@lizsmith952]

wow they are beautiful cards!!! I think we all over think what we are doing, -- what if it's not perfect?? what if it's not liked, what if... what if.... but life is not about what ifs it's about what is... what it is.. is terrific!! people will never notice what you notice, they just know you made it for them!! we all know you make these videos to help us craft better!! we don't judge if it is perfect, we don't care!! it's made with the thought of helping us!!

[@terriconrad4612]

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! 💕🙋‍♀️🎄

[@patpw476]

Hi Simon. I like both cards. Take the stress off and just do you. Relax,enjoy and just have fun.

[@angelaadams9806]

Love that Joy to the World card.

[@judibradshaw1948]

Gorgeous cards Simon!!! Always unique & beautiful. Love the deer for those guys in our lives!!!

[@janiceblough]

Oh my gosh, both cards are terrific! I love shakers and would like to see more.

[@darlenegreen1089]

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!

[@sherryneumyer325]

I agree with Xenobia Foxclaw, we are not perfect. I Love ur videos because you don’t “act” perfect and show us ur mistakes. we are your online friends and you can feel comfortable with us and still teach us a lot!

[@cfluto]

I love the deer shaker card! Really adorable!

[@lorik2565]

❤ the plaid background and deer shaker. Thanks for the creative ideas.

[@kblack861]

Hi Simon! Thank you for showing us different ways to get more from our supplies. I wouldn't have thought about using the deer for a shaker card! Loved both of your cards.

[@pamelakatschor8739]

You always do a great job on your videos. I know it’s hard, because I’m guilty of it too, but try not to overthink. You have a tribe that is cheering you on and looking forward to seeing what you create next.

[@9094nancyj]

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. I have been on a Simon Hurley KZbin kick lately, which energizes me! I always learn something new. So thanks for the help - I really enjoyed this video!

[@markellecaldwell9236]

I love the anti-static trick for the foam tape sides. Thank you.

[@charlottethien3749]

Simon, I really like both of these cards . You present an easy to understand tutorial . Thank you ❣️

[@veperez6250]

Oh! Great tip for unsticking foam edges!!

[@blancaalves8250]

Simon, you are such a good teacher! Thank you for the tip of adding anti static powder to the edges of the tape and the window. I never thought of that! I enjoy watching you. Thank you so much! Happy holidays🤩

[@alanalendvay6131]

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!

[@barbarafender7046]

I love the deer shaker card. Very creative!

[@marymansfield4744]

You did great! Sometimes you have to take a break to refresh. Love your videos and products!

[@stormyswann6177]

You aren't even done and I have so many tips from this video already. Thank you

[@rosaliaparrish8751]

I am so glad to see you back, your work is always beautiful and nice.

[@josiemcqueary7427]

Love the deer card. Both were beautiful, but that one was my favorite🦌

[@lareeearl2384]

Great video as always. I just love watching and having your interaction. Appreciate you! 😊

[@angelag9346]

Hello Simon....it's good to see you! Just be yourself and everything else will fall into place. I enjoy and learn from all your videos.😁💙

[@louiseeagan83]

Simon, I love your videos! Keep doing exactly what you do and just the way you do it! It’s your way and that’s what makes you so great!!!

[@user-tr9fe7mt4v]

I enjoy card making VERY MUCH. I like paper,scissors, glue, etc. I like COLORS and coloring A LOT. 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!

[@sallyc.9017]

Beautiful shaker card. I wouldn't have thought of using an animal shape.

[@carriejones5776]

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.

[@amandacaldwell3492]

Shaker card is awesome!! Love the watercolor too

[@saracurtis594]

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

[@barbaraharding6115]

Glad you’re back, I love your products and your cards that you create

[@patriciavanderwolf6425]

You are loved. You are wonderful!

[@Teresa-Q]

Hi Simon…both cards are gorgeous…just love your tips, ideas and watching the way you create your masterpieces…you are such a joy to watch and so talented…thanks again for all you teach us and sharing your inspiration 💙💙💙

[@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 :).

[@magoomagee954]

These cards are stunning! Your videos are always great, just continue doing what you want, because your love of the craft always comes through. ❤️

[@valericaskey2540]

I love you Simon! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@felinemagic4473]

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.

[@carriesmola6222]

Thanks for the great hints with the foam tape and using a plastic sleeve instead of acetate.

[@aalley2]

Great tip for eliminating static! I really need a pressure tool! It's great to use different shapes for shaker cards, I like the deer shape. The floral is great too! Thanks!

[@dianamoyer]

Thank you for the video! Keep them coming. I overthink things too, so I understand. I would tell you not to worry about it and just go for gold, but if you're like me, you'll still worry... 😆. Just know that we don't expect perfection. We expect imperfection, and that makes us feel better about our imperfections!

[@josiemcqueary7427]

Thank you so much Simon this makes sense - you are such a great teacher! Make sure you take care of yourself and take time for self care.❤

[@myrnahartley8710]

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.

[@janiceblough]

You must take every break you need! We can’t continually watch videos, so don’t stress about it!

[@jackiefarr5703]

Brilliant idea for a shaker card! Great tutorials always. Thank you. 🌲

[@rebekahstamper]

Both cards are beautiful!

[@lindazabel2230]

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!!!😊

[@dianeroff7706]

I absolutely love these cards & the dies! Great tips, too!

[@sonjah1983]

Great cards Simon! My favorite was the last one-that you added your paste to. So glad to see you back❣ I would love to see more videos with your Lunar paste- I LOVE that stuff!!!!

[@corinarazo1404]

Thank you for sharing your talent here on KZbin. Your tips and tricks for creating hand crafted cards are most helpful. Sadly, I'm not able to pick a fav card. They are both good looking cards!

[@Joyschultz]

Gorgeous cards, Simon! Great video, as always!!

[@sweetlady1027]

I love your cards. They are very beautiful.

[@pattimootz4437]

Love the deer shaker card

[@donnah7264]

Simon, I love how you take the time to teach us different ways to use supplies. 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.

[@verjeanvandezande8185]

Loved Both cards! Awesome job, Simon!!

[@txblondie924]

I love the second card

[@debbik4794]

Very nice cards Simon. I'll be making something similar for birthday cards. Thanks so much. BTW. Pamper yourself when you are feeling blue.

[@Glamdeb1167]

Love the cards. Thanks for those tips - sometimes I forget to do the tone-on-tone ink. So nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@jlawless.9970]

Great tips! Love your tutorials and I learn something (often LOTS of somethings) every time. Thank you.

[@kattrro]

I own bth the plaid and pinstripe background! Both are really great! Highly recommend.

[@sandytowell4188]

Great card tips. I loved the shaker tips.

[@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.

[@karenshepard7203]

I was so excited to get my Plaid die. I haven’t been able to use it yet. Thanks for sharing these projects.

[@jackiefarr5703]

Great cards. Always original. 🎉

[@pmhdesigns-patricia0522]

Love both cards. thanks for sharing.

[@kykategray]

I understand exactly where you are coming from… we are our own worst enemies. I love your honesty and vulnerability in admitting your struggles to us. Difficult to do? Absolutely! 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.

[@DebKiwi]

I love how you explain all the steps! Cards turned out looking amazing especially with the tone-on-tone plaid backgrounds! Btw, I’m also an overthinker so I can totally relate 🙃

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

I love the shaker and I love poinsettias. I can’t choose just one 🥰

[@kjones1785]

These are great tips , love the joy to the world card 🎉❤

[@shellylowery7623]

Loved this video. And your gold Lunar paste sits on the top of my desk because I love it soooo much.

[@amyt6254]

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.

[@amyt6254]

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

[@susanknight183]

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 🌍 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🌍

[@janerevell-revere3260]

Good to see you Simon

[@charlotteminichiello6260]

Just beautiful

[@cathymorris8072]

2 gorgeous cards & I love the tone on tone plaid background as well as the buck/stag die cut for a shaker. I think this is a perfect masculine card & I need them for sure. Sorry, I'm not coming up with any techniques for you to share. But I always enjoy your videos & love the way you share with us!

[@dawnlee8175]

Great cards Simon, thanks for sharing!

[@terryholland2526]

I love both of these cards. I especially loved the Stag shaker card. It gives me an idea for a Christmas card. Thank you for sharing. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@NotAfraidofColor]

Both cards are so cute!

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

I have been following you for a long time and you always have wonderful tips, techniques and you create beautiful art. 😀

[@colleenknudsen9590]

I couldn’t imagine a deer silhouette could actually look beautiful.

[@rebeccahawkins2192]

Great video. I always find your tips helpful. Love the shaker card and picking a shape one would not normally think of has me going thorough my dies rethinking them. Nice use of the total ink on the stamp by misting resulting awesome look for the next card. Enjoy your Holidays and all your fans, we will be watching for more from you.

[@bellah8393]

Beautiful! I learned some new techniques and some great idea as. Thank you.

[@expressivepaper]

Love the both cards Simon!

[@jackierodreddaway3178]
