Amazing Top Card Making Tips From Creativation 2023! So Beautiful Simón, Thank You for the links to everything in this tutorial. Saving this to a Folder named Simon for future reference. 🤩🤩🤩

[@noneyobusiness6582]

Simon we just love all of your products . Thanks from Price Utah

[@TeeBoyd88]

Simon, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy the amount of details you share in your videos. From the products used, to the maintenance & cleaning of them, to the different ways to use each item. Stamping has come a long way since we carved our designs on to potatoes! 🥔😆 @17:15 this card, using left over paste was surprisingly my fave in this video. I guess because I don't like waste. Lunar Paste is amazing to watch as it changes the dimension & adds light to the end product. Thank you Simon :)

[@heidirichardson4988]

Beautiful design and pretty colors!

[@cindytartt4048]

17:44 I LOVE that background. Reminds me of colourful skies like the Rosette Nebula. Abstract & mesmerising. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos & gaining much inspiration. Many thanks Simon. ❤🇦🇺👍

[@michellerickard1290]

Was glad to see you on Stacey's Scrapbooking Made Simple videos of Creativation. You do a great job explaining the new items.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

9:40 Wooo, never thought of using the scoreboard imprint on the stamping foam… how neat! 21:25 And wow, that looks so cool!

[@anitawoods9009]

I think I need a stamp wheel .... and the foam .... and the mint tape .... and the stencils .... and the lunar pastes and everything 🤣 You are soo creative Simon, I can't choose a favourite technique or item cos they're all amazing ❤

[@simon.hurley]

Hahaha you are so sweet Anita!

I love the Circle Stamping Foam. Brilliant idea.

[@kounselspirit23]

Love the technique used with embossing folders. I have many floral designs that I would love to create beautiful cards with what you displayed. Thanks Simon😊

[@artycrafter3931]

Thanks Simon🎉awesome❤

[@lauraleonard5960]

Beautiful

[@created2bless322]

Great tips and wonderful products, Simon! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@janiew4109]

Simon, you are such a great presenter/instructor and your products are awesome! Love all of the cards you made, but especially the last one with the lunar paste and 3D embossing folder. I have a very hard time using just the right pressure and sometimes get paste where I don't want it. You make it look so easy! You are a master crafter!

[@simon.hurley]

Thank you so much Janie!!💙

[@Mari-sg7jl]

Definitely going to try the edge of the foam idea!! Nice shirt. NIce people deserve nice things.

[@byfihandcrafts_fiona_fernandez]

Love them all!

[@craftwraftshobha]

Lovely ❤

[@thebuzzwithmamabee3432]

As if I needed yet another product to try out, now I have to get some of that beautiful lunar paste.

[@josetteforde6817]

Viewing from the caribbean love all u do simon a crafter myself your knowledge and craftmanship is remarkable god bless 🙏🙏

[@JesusIsLoved-wn2hr]

Always love to watch you.Having a slim line stamping foam would be cool to add to the collection. Hope you had fun at Createvation.

[@diannelevy9179]

Each card was my favorite.😊

[@lisagheno-cuevas6191]

The more I watch you use the stamping foam, the more I want to give it a try. I really am getting hooked on the lunar paste too. Your demos of products, and the numerous ways to use them , really draws me into your videos, Simon!

[@RamoArt]

I thought stamping foam was something gimmicky that everyone buys and uses once, then forgets about. But I bought one a couple of weeks ago and I have been loving it. It's really not expensive and I don't see myself running out of textures to play with anytime soon!

[@dmesm57]

Loving the lunar paste! I have several of altenew's 3D embossing folders. I need to get some lunar paste!! Thanks for sharing!

[@kmatto_kmatto]

I enjoyed how you showed using the side of the Stamping Foam to get fun results. That will be something I'll have to try! Also, adding Lunar Paste on top of dried Lunar Paste and not changing the color was awesome! I don't know why I didn't think of that before!

[@giulianacarnevale6062]

Oh my gosh!! Love, love , love !! All the colors!!!❤

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Just supreme work, Love it.

[@michelepatton4013]

Great video! I loved the offset stencilling. I have to give it a try! Lots of great tips.

[@joterry7928]

What beautiful techniques! Love the stamping foam.

[@DebadooCreates]

I did not know your pastes were that heat safe so that is a really great thing to find out. I love the Geometric layering stencil. Especially the last one you did with the blue and green that was fantastic.

[@maryzulick9369]

The colors of the Lunar paste give off a satin finish which looks beautiful! I just bought a few colors to try them out so will let you know what I think. Looking forward to the process and outcome. I also purchased 2 packs of the stamping foam squares as well. Thanks for such a great video on the uses of some of your products and such great explanations along with tips!

[@cindyellis765]

All the techniques are awsome. I find myself partial to using the Lunar Paste on the 3D embossing. It comes out ver elegant.

[@stephaniehuntley302]

Beautiful and love my stamping foam.

[@edithshaw2473]

The techniques look like fun. Black may show colors better than other colors but I feel these products are being sold short by not demoing them onto other colors paper. Picture the flowers on a purple or blue background or maybe a maroon paper. Also what about using them on a pastel background for a wedding or Easter card?

[@simon.hurley]

Good idea! I’ll be sure to share it on other colors too. :)

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Oh wow ... What amazing backgrounds you get from that stencil set.... Awesome!! I love that first card so so much! Your products are great to work with Simon!

[@gjohnson850]

Great video. Loved all the techniques but perhaps the embossing folder technique the best. thanks for all the ideas.

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Love the stamping foam. Beautiful.

[@teriheinze2829]

Stencils!! So fun!!

[@kcinca5410]

Thanks for the discount Simon. I saw a video of you from Creativation. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who posted it. I hope you enjoyed the trip. I've finally caved and, even though I have a ton of other pastes I still need to use, I took the plunge and bought a few of your lunar pastes. I'm looking forward to using them. I do have an itty bitty jar of gold from a card kit but now I have some colors to go with it. Happy Easter!

[@simon.hurley]

Yay!! You are going to have tons of fun with your new Lunar Pastes. Happy Easter!! :)

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Lol! Me too!

[@sonjajurgensen2598]

Hallo😊 deine Karten sind so toll. Die sehen richtig schön und elegant aus. Danke fürs zeigen. Gruß von Sonja aus Deutschland

Love the metallic inks! I have them but haven’t used them yet!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Just love the shine from those Lunar pastes. It is gorgeous.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Very adorable cards Simon. Lots of great techniques that you taught us. You are a great inspiration to all of us.

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much Chrystal!!

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

@@simon.hurley You are very welcome 🤗

[@sherrilarge1483]

Love that last round card so pretty

[@marianhopley7601]

I loved all the different designs with your stencils.

[@kareneaton433]

I love the candle stamp and the stencils so that is my favorite. The three colors you used are beautiful together

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

I love the last project you did, it was supeme..😀

[@lynjames4514]

Loved these techniques thank you 🌸

[@lynnl6979]

Everything old is new again. I still have a piece of foam similar to the one you showed, which I go close to 20 years ago.

[@barbw8972]

I love love love the backgrounds with the layered stencils… and I love the stamping foam ideas. Thanks for sharing your great ideas with us.

[@lizt9330]

Hi Simon, I loved the Rose Bouquet 3D folder so much that I just ordered it from SSS! I love & have all the Lunar Pastes, the colors that you used were beautiful. Thanks for all the videos, keep them coming! Hugs!

[@lorichenoweth815]

Loved the roses

[@reba86442]

So many wonderful ideas. I really enjoyed watching you

[@nanaroset37]

I am going to get me some stamp foam. That looks like I can save. TY! And it looks like fun!

[@tonic2639]

Soooo much to love. The circle stamping foam card was beautiful, it really did look like a piece of vintage wallpaper (and really has me thinking I need to buy some stamping foam!).

[@merrymacmurphy]

it must be so fun to go to Creativation! thanks for sharing the tips!

[@maryschwehr6130]

Love these techniques!

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois, I haven't tried any of these techniques or products, but that sponge looks very interesting. Very tempting

[@nicolalederer9517]

Simon, something I was wondering: as probably the person who has been using the stamping foam longer than anyone else, have you managed to send one to its grave yet? That is one of the things that I love most about the foam, that it is reusable. That makes so much sense in these days when we finally realise that we do not have a spare earth stashed away! (And it is nice for those of us on a budget, too…). Thank you for the work you put into creating such a versatile, affordable and lasting product that is so much fun and inspirational! Kind regards from Germany, Nicola

[@simon.hurley]

Hi Nicola! Yes, I have definitely used some to their end. About 15-20 times. You kind of have to decide when it looks dingy, but you can use every side and there are several in a pack. :)

[@nicolalederer9517]

@@simon.hurley Hi Simon, thanks for the super-speedy reply! I was curious about that - and 15 or so times (times six if we really use all options) is pretty impressive! And I am sure we can come up with ways to continue to re-use them in other way after that (stick the needles into them while we use our fine tip glue bottles so they don‘t get lost, is one that comes to my mind right away, I wonder why 😂). BTW every time I see you (or someone else) using that geometric circle layering, I am more tempted by it - you should send it Ardyth Percy-Robb‘s way, I am sure she would do amazing things with it, she is the queen of simple geometric patterns (stencil or otherwise) put to endlessly creative use, so impressive!

[@beckymartin1810]

Gorgeous

[@Pebblesmas]

@@nicolalederer9517 oh yes Ardyth doesfab things with them

[@jackiejohnson7158]

I really like the geo circle stencils and the techniques you used. Thanks Simon!

[@pokey3010]

Wow love these backgrounds and the lunar floral!! Awesome as always. Thank you so much

[@laura12060]

Simon this video was jam packed with inspiration. I have your lunar paste on my list of things to buy. That stamp wheel looks so cool too. Actually I think using stencils with it looks like such a great idea! Thank you for posting!

[@simon.hurley]

Yay!! So glad you enjoyed all of the tips packed into this video Laura!🤗

[@debbieduran6791]

Like the versatility of the stencil set! Beautiful colors.

[@melindahessel]

So many great techniques! I especially loved what you did with the layering stencil…very cool!

[@leetayon8791]

Love those geometric stencils!

[@kathybogner6646]

Really like these techniques!

[@sgrenis]

love the techniques. Can you show us how you used them in a card or the finished project? When the backgrounds are colorful and vivid, I struggle with turning it in to a finished card.

[@CissyPantsCrafts]

Love these tips. Thanks for sharing them.

[@deniseledbetter6091]

I love all these ideas! I just got some lunar paste and will have to try these techniques. I also will need some of the foam as well

[@denisefonda2815]

Simon, love the card ideas, that you come up with, I have no imagination🤗

Thanks so much Lynn! You are so kind🤗

[@donnamovesian6345]

Your best tutorial yet! So many great ideas jammed into one video! I’m sold on your lunar paste. I’m going to need every color 😂

[@PatNorris-uq4uv]

I love the lunar paste...thanks so much for all the tips. Candle card gorgeous. Flower card even better. Happy to know you can blend after first layer dries!! Good also about certain card stock, too!

[@pamelasertich9850]

I'm amazed at how you use the stamping foam and really get good results. I need to work some more with this medium. That card was just gorgeous. I love that Lunar paste, it doesn't dry out like a lot of other mediums.

[@tjyb1502]

Fun demo! I love my stamping foam.... but haven't cracked open my lunar pastes yet.. am excited to do so! I really loved the "cleanup" background!! 😊

[@charylhodges470]

I liked the stamping foam technique the most.

[@marthagaluszka8888]

If your paste dries on the stencil you can use rubbing alcohol to break it down.

[@melissa_bee_]

So many awesome tips. Thanks Simon!

[@kayfurnish8715]

I love all the techniques, Simon! Too hard to choose just one, but I have to admit I need a lot more practice using my fat fingers to paint with the Lunar Paste! LOL Thanks for the tips about wiping most of it off on the side of the jar & using a very light touch. I can see now where I made my biggest mistakes!

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much!! Hahaha yes, a bit of practice helps with the Lunar Paste finger painting application. A little goes a long way!!

[@maryannsomerville3505]

Thanks!

[@lindavinson1273]

Happy and Blessed Easter to you and your family, Simon. ⛪️ 🐣 Your cards are always so amazing. I love them all. Still practicing with my lightening my heavy finger using the lunar paste! Thank you for all of your inspiration. 🥰

[@simon.hurley]

Thanks so much! Happy Easter!!

[@rebeccahawkins2192]

Wonderful video. . Everyone of these techniques is something I want to try. I did not know the Lunar paints has mica in them, now I understand why they shine. Great look on the stencil just moving over and changing color. I feel I might be a little unsure on using the foam, but also sure practicing is the only way to overcome. I'm saving this video so I can find it right away. Thank You for showing us your products in easy to understand demonstrations

[@simon.hurley]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful Rebecca! :)
