Hi friends! Comment below which card is your favorite. :) ✭ FULL supply list with PICTURES: ldli.co/e/26gd3ox

[@cherieselauer7829]

I LOVE that you use the “excess” or the waste for another background and you don’t waste it!!

[@patriciawatts-no7oz]

Hello From New Zealand Simon! I have just recently found your videos on KZbin and this is the very first one I am watching, and how wonderful it was. I must telly you that about ten years ago I found the Perfect Pearls in a shop and never got around to using them. I am in the process of reorganizing my craftroom and came across the box of Perfect Pearls and I thought to myself that I have no ideas of how to even use them. So I popped online and happened to find this video of you using the Pearls and I was totally gobsmacked of what can be done with them. Your video was absolutely enlightening and I then realised that after a whole decade that I had missed so much, so I am going to have to get a couple of the brushes that you used and some clear Versafine ink to get started making some new kinds of cards using the Perfect Pearls. I just cannot wait!!! I don’t even have to go out of my way to find the brushes because there is a wonderful large store in my local town that sells every kind of brush imaginable as I had noted when I was there a few days ago, so I am all set then. I appreciated your tutorial more than I can say, Simon, and I thank you for your talent and your expertise. I love card making and I am 77 years old….BUT….who said you cannot teach an old dog new trick. Your techniques are very straightforward and look very easy to do. Well, we’ll see after my first card with Perfect Pearls. I really love them now. Thank you so very much for everything, Simon. You are a WONDER!!!!!!! Sincerely yours, Patricia in New Zealand.

[@conniedenaples2791]

This was so comforting, Simon. Your voice is soothing and your work is amazing! Thank you ❤

[@nancyloomis3046]

So true. How could we have gotten through the pandemic, shutdowns and all around chronic bad news without the comfort of our favorite creative KZbinrs!

[@jeanmorin8340]

Love your cards Simon. I have those Perfect Pearls, though I put them in my craft room in a safe place. I just need to remember where that is. I have the Pearl White one out, so they are here somewhere. 🤣🤣Can’t wait to get home and use my new stamps too😎🥰

[@yvettevangrieken7402]

Son, you are so talented. God bless you. TFS

[@lisagheno-cuevas6191]

I really appreciate the way you use a product several ways. The flower stamps and die set is beautiful with the perfect pearls used to color them on your cards!

[@MsJoanne6]

The cards are all beautiful, but the last one is my favourite.

[@jbwooten89]

Dude. I don't even make anything creative at all and am glad your content cycles through my feed. You're very creative and I'm pretty sure you're a literal superhero.

[@AlysMilner]

Simon, you are a delight. I missed the Perfect Pearls on the first go around. Thank you for bringing them to my attention, and showing how much fun they are to use. I love your enthusiasm for the craft, and I'm happy about your success.

[@gavincollins8053]

Like them all. But the last card is my favourite. The window with the blue behind really makes it pop too. Good job.

[@janeforever]

These are all unique & beautiful. Especially liked the last one with the arched window background & the blue shading.

[@Starboard528]

Looooove the glass window with the flowers. Amazing!!!

[@kcinca5410]

They're all my favorite, Simon. I honestly cannot choose. I really love shimmer and shine on my cards. It doesn't matter what kind: glitter, metallic, perfect pearls, pigment powders, glossy accents, pearlescent. Just a long as it isn't flat matte. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) I love how you always bring a few different techniques to each video on how I can achieve that look.

[@aureaic]

It’s been years since I’ve used perfect pearls. Thank you for inspiring me to use them again. I so enjoy watching your videos. You get right down to the making of the cards, with your soothing voice, without too much preamble. All the cards are beautiful, but ny favorite is the last one with the window.

[@susanbollinger2844]

All three cards are stunning but one was gorgeous

[@elainemcnicholas7654]

I must get my perfect pearls out and play with them again. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@dmesm57]

Love love love the stained glass window sympathy card. So beautiful!

[@lindavinson1273]

Incredible cards. I just received my framed flowers and was already looking forward to creating with them - now even more so! I have been using the stained glass window a lot. It definitely is very versatile. Thank you for sharing. Perfect Pearls here I come! 🥰

[@ericahannah5086]

Really love the stain glass and lily card. Since I love flowers and gardening this stamp set really speaks to me.

[@barbaraparker8225]

Thanks for reminding us how special these are. We need to dig them back out.

[@patriciawilson4135]

I have to say that the last card was my favorite, however, they were all beautiful. I do have to get out my Perfect Pearls now. You inspired me. Thank you, Simon. You rock!!!!!

[@michellerickard1290]

Loved how you painted with it and the gorgeous extra sheet with the extra perfect pearls. I imagine a big feather on it. Well done. Always enjoy your videos...thanks so much!

[@spschmauch]

All beautiful cards, but the stained-glass window card is my favorite!

[@Mari-cre8s]

I think my favorite was the third card. I am really loving that stained glass die set! It’s beautiful and versatile. Really appreciate the thoughtful details that you put in your products Simon. Then add to it these terrific tutorials that you give us and I find I reach for your products time and again in my crafting. Thank You!! 🧑🏼‍🎨😀💗🌷

[@cardsbycolie]

I love my perfect pearls. I've had them for about 15 years and I still have a ton left in each pot of every color, lol. They are so universal and beautiful. TFS some fun techniques!

[@sandsleblanc]

Great demonstration, thank you! I cannot make a card without adding perfect pearls, it's my favourite medium 🙂

[@patsyoberg3113]

The stain glass window was my favorite.

[@bethskorupski7642]

That last card is so beautiful! You are so talented. So many great ideas for when we can't think of what we want to make. Love your videos.

[@elisebb3765]

Thank you for sharing more ways to use Perfect Pearls! I have many of them, and forget to get them out to make some new beautiful cards! My favorite card was the last sympathy card. Now I have some fresh new inspiration to bring out my Perfect Pearls again!

[@lisad.3247]

OM Gosh! TPerfect Pearls truly are magical Simon. Great job on all these cards. You have great talent. Keep up the good work you do. Thanks for sharing. 💜

[@Om1qq]

My hands are twitching to try those arts ....Love from India ❣️

[@cathihester6513]

These cards are beautiful. I have never used these pearls before. Thank you for sharing. “Celebration of Life” is my favourite.

[@kmatto_kmatto]

Great cards. I like how you painted with the Perfect Pearls and combined to make your own colors. I like using older products too. Thanks for showing us as I'm not familiar with Perfect Pearls.

[@Whinny66]

Absolutely amazing Simon! Thank you for sharing these fantastic cards with us! 😊 I love the last card with the stained glass window die cut!

[@shellyrulli5787]

Fabulous cards, Simon! The 3rd card with glass window, my favourite. Thank you from Calgary, Alberta!

[@edithshaw2473]

I am fascinated with perfect pearls. This was a nice video tutorial. I like the lily card best.

[@pokey3010]

Love love love love love these techniques and all the cards, you are so amazing.. I had to buy 17 colors of perfect pearls so glad you had a link listed above. Thank you so much I can't wait to try this.. 🥰

[@kathygibson1633]

Great reminder to use Perfect Pearls!! Beautiful examples

[@dianamoyer]

The last card is my favorite!

[@michaeldunckel2504]

Hi Simon, loved the last card the best. It would have been a beautiful Easter card with the lilies and stained-glass window look.

[@Pebblesmas]

Yeah!!! Fab! Cause i live them and have tons and forget them often👍

[@daynajackson1129]

I am not sure which was my fave, but the last one was awesome!

[@Scrapqueen65]

Simon, I’ve been waiting years for this video! Seriously! I have had Perfect Pearls in my stash since they came out, but no ideas on what to do with them! You solved the mystery! Your cards are stunning! I have some binge watching to do on your channel!❤

[@sheriwhite9756]

I have that fan brush but couldn’t figure out what to use it on. Now I know why I bought it. Love your explanations!

[@christabeard5128]

These are beautiful. I always forget about my Perfect Pearls. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@patruona591]

thank you I love perfect pearls but needed more ideas

[@conniefossi1327]

Oh Simon, you make it look so easy. I've tried perfect pearls on black and white cardstock, only to have it smear and rub off. So very frustrating to me. All your cards are lovely. My favorite is the stained glass window. Love the sentiment you chose.

[@cherylpandos2209]

I always love your perfect pearl cards.

[@judyhosch672]

Hi Simon, I always enjoy your videos. Thank you. I can't chose a favorite because I love them all. Keep up the good work kiddo.

[@denabaker96]

The last card was my favorite. I love the stained glass window and the way the perfect peeled was used to paint the flowers. So pretty ❤

[@bschatwork]

I loved what you did using the Perfect Pearl techniques!

[@artycrafter3931]

Thanks Simon. Will pull out the perfect pearls, the black card looks awesome.❤

[@murielkelly4034]

My perfect pearls have been neglected for years but they are on my desk now. Love all three cards but number 3 is my favourite. Thank you for the inspiration Simon 😊

[@scrappingnetta]

My favorite was the last one with the window. I have had Perfect Pearls for YEARS and use to use them all the time back in the day but not in the way you showed...using them as paint! A new way (and excuse) to blow the dust off the tops and use them up. Going to try to use them this weekend and see what I can come up with. Thank you Simon!

[@pattiepan]

Great tutorial about Perfect Pearls....I had no idea how striking the effect is...thanks Simon for a very informative video..........pat

[@bethgork7332]

You always do so well with the perfect pearls…I need more practice! 😜

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much Beth! They are so much fun!!

[@trinegrnbech5776]

Love All the cards ,but the last one wow ❤

[@LindaTomanCreates]

I Love them All But the Third one is my Favorite... All Beautiful cards 🌼

[@susanhughes1417]

Love the cards but the last one was amazing.

[@Pattilrfour]

You are amazing, love how beautiful you make your cards. Great Ideas!!!

[@noreenhennessy9299]

Makes me want to break out my perfect pearls and show them so love…Thanks

[@NipperCrafting]

Beautiful cards as usual. 😊 Really loved that 3 rd one.

[@glendathorne7008]

Thanks for reminding me about my Perfect Pearls collection that I haven't used in years. Need to blow off the dust and use them:)

[@narcydishon8389]

Beautiful cards. Stain glass card my favorite ❤

[@stephaniewalter4673]

Love them all - The last one is my favorite - Thanks for sharing

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much Stephanie! I think that one is my fave too.❤️

[@jpbijaczyk]

I love all 3 Simon! Your techniques always amaze me. ❤

[@sueplatt8899]

Beautiful card-thanks for the tip on pouncing the powder in! I have that brush, for dusting of the extra powder, thanks to Simons suggestion-love how great it works!

[@lindahobbs5545]

Amazing cards! I will need to get out my Perfect Pearls!

[@mistyjomay6272]

I'm so happy I found this channel! I love watching Simon make cards!❤

[@kimhund2782]

Beautiful cards Simon! Thank you so much for your inspiration.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I think the first card was my fave, but I have to admit, that "galaxy" looking background would have been my favorite if you'd turned it into a card! I never think to use my Perfect Pearls as watercolors....thanks for the reminder/tip.

[@rwhalen1771]

Simon, these cards are amazing and beautiful. I love Perfect Pearls and now you've shown more ways to use them. Thank you, Rita.

[@daisyrivera9299]

Simon absolutely love all your cards are beautiful my favorite is the last one I have never used perfect pearls I just purchase them in JoAnn wanted to try them thank you for teaching me how to use them your tutorial’s are awesome

[@VickyEmerzidis]

They are all very lovely !

[@Gidget3922]

Simon, this is perfect timing. I got mine out today after having them for five years. I’ve never used them and was completely puzzled, just stood there staring at them. Thanks so much for sharing this. Now I can use them!

[@janiew4109]

Love your cards, especially the last one! The sentiment is really sweet for a sympathy card.

[@eijasillanpaa7]

Wow. Beautiful cards. Thank you ❤️

[@patforrest319]

Another great job Simon. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@patriciaschoenberg1261]

Really wonderful cards! Thank you.

[@melodieisreal5933]

I am so glad that you brought attention to Perfect Pearls...I have a collection of them but for some reason forget to use them. I love your latest release!

[@marthakrause8441]

My goodness, Simon. I was positive that Perfect Pearl were not for me. The mess and impermanence kept me away. Thanks for showing that’s not necessarily true. I was also impressed with your presentation of the AlteNew Stampwheel and your inventive creation of a base grid. I’m now a subscriber to your channel. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@gwenhavlichek5025]

Beautiful!!! I love them all!

[@moniquevann9950]

So pretty thanks Simon

[@anjah.9508]

Awesome cards again, Simon! I love your work and your products. The stained glass card is my favorite! ❤

[@bethgork7332]

Card 3 was my favorite!

[@simon.hurley]

Thank you Beth!

[@pamelapullar8570]

A great reminder to use my perfect pearls. Thank you, I love all the cards you made

[@simon.hurley]

Yes! They are such a fun product to pull back out. :)

[@Jkk55]

Thank you Simon love these x

[@angelicawilliams5288]

Lovely lovely, thank you for sharing ❤️

[@bc2ucla]

hey simon! you can use a plastic straw cut at an angle as a scoop for the powder. one straw makes several scoops.

[@UsernameBarbF]

Thank you so much for this great video! Years (and years) ago a dear friend gave me 2 sets of this product (different colors in each), but she passed away before she could show me how to use them...and thanks to this video, I now know! I'm also reminded about stamping in one color and then adding another small detail of color...to the stamp and restamping it. I keep forgetting to try that and it looks like it will blend better than trying to add color to the cardstock after the ink is dry (referring to the yellow flowers with the pink centers). Thank you!

[@saranieuwenhuis]

Honestly, I like all your card designs! The tone on tone background on #1, and the layout of #2, and inking behind a die cut in #3 are all techniques I'd like to try. I need to be brave and use my perfect pearls, I've had them for years and have been hesitant to venture into new territory.

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much Sara!! You should definitely pull the out and play. Perfect Pearls are so much fun to add some shine to your projects.✨

[@NancyStamps]

Nice work Simon!

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks Nancy!🫶🏻

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

I love perfect pearls 🥰💖

[@renaeallen9890]

Excellent video, I am inspired!

[@connielee3386]

Loved them all! Thanks Simon Like Cathy Z says, Your going places!

[@simon.hurley]

💙💙💙

[@peggyrose204]

Loved the first card and the last card, great job👍

[@darcygreen7938]

I watched the first one and thought 'that's my favorite'. Then i did the same with 2 & 3. I can't pick. I love the background you made with the leftover pearls, too......#4. Haha

[@stellamunn7285]

Hi from the UK. Such a terrific video Simon. I need to break out my Perfect Pearls now, which are at the back of a drawer ‘somewhere’ in my craft room 🫣.

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much!! They are such a fun product to bring back out. :)

[@margewilcox7025]

Love your videos! Thank you!
