[@artistjanbeasley4264]

Hi Simon, I really enjoy your videos.. I’ve a question why are they discontinuing the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot foil? Are they coming out with a newer version?

LOVED this!! did anyone else rewatch when Simon was looking for the plates? OMG that is soooo me!! I had to watch again because his reaction was so cute!! "they can't be that far gone!!" says every crafter looking for something they just had in their hands!! love you Simon, Thank you for sharing this awesome new machine!! ~Amy (Lewes, De)

[@angeliquehowell7157]

Such a beautiful card.

[@cherylthompson3882]

I especially loved that you did not do a polished video in which you look like an expert and instead were a foiling plate newbie like most of your viewers. My favorite, though, is how you kept having to look for things that you thought were right there. Story of my life! Favorite video of yours so far for sheer novelty.

[@shirleyphillips8936]

Now you need the Pinkfresh solid plate to foil with the negative portions. My Glimmer machine arrives Tuesday, so your KZbin was so timely for me. Thank you.

[@carolhodges9899]

I enjoyed this so much. I’ve had my Glimmer machine for awhile and I’m intimidated by it. I’ve used it once or twice but I’m never confident with it. Thank you for your tips and tricks. I loved that you left in the footage of you misplacing the plates and looking for your Stickles! We’ve all been there! Now, I’m going to get my machine out and try it again! Thanks, Simon!

[@kathscraftycards6712]

I've had my Glimmer machine for almost a year & I love it. When I've got the machine out for a project I foil a bunch of sentiment strips in different colour foils at once on white cardstock. I then have sentiments ready to go, just colour over the top to match. Also, foiling on heat resistant acetate is stunning!

[@kareneaton433]

I finally broke down and am investing in glimmer machine. I appreciate you showing it with your initial use, is very helpful for a beginner

[@sherryneumyer325]

This is one of my favorite videos! We got to see Simon try something for the first time and I can sooo relate.

[@sammiepuppy4196]

Simon- always enjoy your videos! Your first experience with the Glimmer machine went far better than mine. Bought it because Spellbinder stated that it was compatible with the E Bosser, which is an electric embossing machine that I love. Guess what- they are not compatible! Spellbinder admitted that they made an error and was kind enough to send me one of their manual embossing machines that I only use with the Glimmer machine. Good business!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

When in doubt, read the instructions - you are a “hoot”Simon - LOL - the card turned out very nice

[@brendakuder2957]

I love the project you made! I just got the glimmer machine today at Hobby Lobby for 40% off along with some foils which were also 40% off. I will play with it tomorrow.

[@mrsspeech]

I know this is from two years ago but I love that you can't find things, lose the directions and show your mistakes. Thank you

[@catherinewingfield-yeatts]

Thanks so much, Simon, for the demo. I now understand how the hot foil machines work!! Thanks!!!

[@brandytaylor9947]

I’m loving the very real video, that includes some small challenges and how to correct them. I really like this tool!

[@rosegriffin8001]

Beautiful! Replay 2 years later as I just broke down to get glimmer system to use with my betterpress plate addiction,lol! You are so fun to watch!

[@dorthybarber8771]

My Hot glimmer system just came in the mail, so looking forward to playing with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@dalesample8611]

I just ordered this machine and was happy to find your video. Thanks. Very informative.

[@kblack861]

Outstanding card Simon! I don't have a Glimmer machine, but loved watching you create with it.

[@Patneil-rice5130]

I have just ordered this machine and it’s on its way to me here in Western Australia. Thanks for all the tips and tricks Simon, so when I get it I shall be using this tutorial again….Cheers

[@lindam2367]

Have had mine for a few years and love it. Have that same plate, and have had fun with it. You will find that it can be addictive. It is loads of fun

[@equeensburyc21]

Simon I absolutely adore you! I was cracking up about you not reading the directions, throwing the manual on the floor, awkwardly running the plate through and misplacing the plate. I was laughing so hard!!! I enjoy your videos soooooo much. I am new to this and you.are teaching me so much. Thank you!! ❤Queen B

[@saranieuwenhuis]

Just ordered one, now educating myself. Glad I'm not the only one who misplaces things!

[@katkards456]

Glimmer Hot Foil machine is on my list for Christmas... Beautiful card.

[@MsShanarun]

Thanks for going over everything! Explaining it all while you tried it out read great!

[@Pattilrfour]

You are amazing, everything you do is perfection. I have learned so much from you.

[@dianelorello6938]

Hi Simon, I just got the Glimmer machine and struggled with this die. After watching your video I am going to give it another try. Thank you 😊

[@pjbstamper1689]

Can’t wait to see you foiling live with Nancy Stamps!

[@sandyparson5989]

Loved the way you explained the hinge, I had a ah ha moment. Thanks

[@sandytowell4188]

I love the foil machine too. Looking forward to more videos using it.

[@angelahartley3212]

Loved this!! Now you need the pink fresh solid plate for all your foil pieces as it does the opposite on your paper!! Game changer for sure and uses your leftovers!!

[@sarahj4cardsandcrafts]

I love your little outtakes. You’ve got a great sense of humor! 😁

[@gloriaalvarado2553]

The poinsettias are lovely!! Will definitely have to try Glimmer hot foiling in the future. You had some great tips in how to do it. Thanks for your creativity and your simple instructions.

[@anniesews]

Fun experiments with the hot foil system and great tips for making your card.

[@marzs1214]

I love the poinsettia border foiled and colored. Soooooo pretty!

[@vonniescrafts1]

Great to see you try something new Simon I’ve ordered my Glimmer this evening arrives tomorrow wowee can’t wait to play it’s a year later so you’re probably an old pro now with your glimmer. Loved that card too bye bye 😊

[@bonniem3567]

Thanks so much for this video, the step by step and being new made me feel better trying mine for the first time. Mine came out great! Thanks again for such an awesome video!

[@terrilynn1771]

Hi ..i enjoy watching your how to do videos i learn so much.. i ordered the glimmer hot foil machine and the Sizzix switch at Hobby Lobby just waiting on the delivery this week.. you make everything look so easy to do.. and you also inspire me to do crafting on cards… i love this video.

[@kerrygooderham4109]

Great video Simon, thanks. We just unboxed our new glimmer machine this week and are having fun experimenting.

[@michellerainey6612]

A whole new edition of Simon awkwardly die cutting…. 😂😂😂 You took funny to a new level throughout this video. Loved your card too!

[@paleopal623]

I love my Glimmer machine! The more you use it the easier it is to use!

[@ginnyberdoff1074]

Treating myself for Christmas! Made it look so easy. Loved it when you lost the plates! I'm not so lucky finding my stuff right away.Great video!

[@Janalynnmillen]

Such a fun video and a beautiful project. Thank you for keeping in the part where you were looking for things that are right in front of you. I think I spend half of my crafty time doing that! Made me chuckle and relate

[@sandyvisger9256]

Love the border die, video is great too. Have a great week Simon

[@delinaquilter1418]

Great video Simon! So glad to see you show multiple techniques in a single video... you can expand more on each in later ones, but we get to be intrigued and want to try them out!

[@Pebblesmas]

What a good idea to mark the edges 👍

[@darcygreen7938]

I literally just got my glimmer hot foil plate yesterday. Perfect timing, and great video! You crack me up. Thanks for sharing that you lose stuff too. I'm always thinking, "I just had that - where could it have gone!". And i do the sunglasses thing too.

[@farleycross2248]

This was a great tutorial! Thank you. I just started this kind of foiling and it’s so fun. I use a battery operated sand eraser that has 2 sizes of erasers. The little one can easily get into those tight spots to take care of over foiling.

[@traceereiter3751]

Actually just purchased this foil system along with the platinum 6 machine as a bundle deal!! Can't hardly wait!! And now I apparently need that foil plate too Simon LOL

[@NancyStamps]

Great job simon!! FOILING Snobs approved

[@anitalegasse4144]

thank you Simon, I bought the Glimmer hot foil machine a few months ago and was having a hard time foiling. I hope you will have more videos so that I'll feel more comfortable using mine. You went slow showing the techniques and it help.

[@dreamsunltd]

Pretty much nailed it first time! 🥳

[@pattinienberg5804]

I’ve had my glimmer machine for several months and only used it a handful of times! You’ve inspired me to start! (Especially after losing your plates!)😂 That is SO something I would do! Thanks Simon!

[@sallyyotz3995]

BTW - Simon. This card is beautiful!!! You have such talent for color choices.

[@jeanninelabiuk1492]

Your Card is Incredible! 💜 You are Proving this is Your Niche...Crazy how this is Your First Time Foiling and it Turns Out Flawless..🥰 You Have No Idea How Much You Remind Me of My Son!....lol. READ THE DIRECTIONS...😅 I had Multiple Laughs During this Video! I'm Loving How You Keep it Real.

[@Oldcupcake64]

I just bought this today and was so glad that you had a video about it! I love your videos but, Simon, you are costing me a lot of money. Yet my cards never looked so good!! Thank You for doing these!! 😃

[@NancyBrown-b1f]

I lay the plate on a cutting mat, place the roll on top, pull out what you to cover the plate then I use a rotary cutter. So much easier then scissors. Them place the plate on the chase, then when it's ready, place you cut foil on it and then the paper, no need to tape anything down. Love mine. Reverse is great too with foil so 2 cards in 1!

[@carrie5260]

Hi Simon ! I bought the Gemini Foil Press because I already owned a Gemini Jr. Based on the videos I’ve watched, the two foiling systems seem pretty similar. I have hot foil plates made by Crafters Companion as well as Spellbinders. I have to say, I like the Spellbinders plates more. I don’t know what the difference is, but they give a slightly “crisper” foil press effect. I’ve also lucked out and found the Spellbinders plates at Hobby Lobby at a great clearance price. So that’s my two cents on the subject. GREAT tip on using cellophane to figure out where to place your Stickles and a really beautiful card. I’m definitely going to add this plate to my collection.

[@beautifulnoisze]

The poinsettia is gorgeous I love watching your videos. Thank you

[@judibradshaw1948]

Thank you! I just got the foiling machine but haven’t used it yet. You made it seem less intimidating with your gorgeous cards!

[@kiminalaska9363]

Great job Simon, especially for your first try. Those sneaky clear plates love to hide from you. I use the Go Press n Foil and I love it. It had a very small learning curve and I get great results. I look forward to seeing more of your foiling.

[@preetirodricks1]

The card is so lovely. I've definitely been scoping out a foiling machine but was so on the fence. You made the process seem so easy Simon so am tempted but i remind myself you have AMAZING skills and talent😁

[@christiedecker2724]

I need to get the eraser, because the over foiling is frustrating. Thank you for demonstrating it for us, Simon. Much appreciated. I was also watching another demonstration recently, you can use your other dies to hot foil also. It will have a very thin line but it will be there...so more useful than I thought with the actual hot foil plates. I need to get the Pink Fresh solid plate next. Then I can use my reverse sides and not waste the extra foil, giving a positive and negative images. I often do that with dies as well...makes for less waste too. Blessings!

[@patticallihan8515]

I have the Glimmer hot machine for a couple of years now Simon. I still have not used it. I watch Yana Smakula who is a genius with it. I just love coloring so much but I do need to get it out and work with it. Thank you for sharing Simon . 🎃🍁🤎🎃🍂🤎

[@ladycase2]

I never tried erasing directly over the design...and boy have I been frustrated. I am pulling mine out today and give it attempt # 48. Thanks Simon

[@WendieMorgan]

If you have issues with overfoiling, make sure you aren’t using too much foil. I cut really close to the plate I’m foiling with. Also, only one pass through the die cut machine.

[@christinerickert1178]

Like everyone here, enjoyed your video, Simon and all the ways "you are you"! Want to add, loved the tip with adding Stickles when you used the clear wrapper to see if you liked Stickles on the berries. Such a simple tip, but clever! Your poinsettia card was so colorful and beautiful.

[@patriciariddle2997]

Funny. I just picked up my machine on Friday from Hobby Lobby. I said if they had one on the shelf, I would go home with it. They did and I did. I've been foiling all weekend. I do love that poinsettia plate you used. Great card.

[@dg9531]

thank you so much for mentioning a foil machine for Gemini. I've really wanted to try spellbinders glimmer club, but don't need a new Platinum machine when I already have Gemini.

[@CouzCat]

I have the Glimmer & am looking forward to using it. You make a good point about being fearless with the sand eraser. Because the Glimmer creates a letter press, the foil is below the surface of the card stock so you’re unlikely to remove it unless you are really heavy handed. I’ve also seen people use a white eraser as well.

[@linsayverbeke7102]

Hello , Can this machine be used with the Nellie Snellen electric machines? The A4 powerboss or the A5 Power boy please? Greetings Linsay from Belgium

[@CouzCat]

@@linsayverbeke7102 Hello, I’m not familiar with these machines. Spellbinders would be the people to ask for a definitive answer. Greetings from Canada.

[@AlisaConner]

Great video. Getting mine soon and you had some great starter tips especially about erasing.

[@ot9228]

That card is fantastic!!! I have been debating on getting a glimmer machine or not! It’s just not the cost of the machine but then also all the plates. I’m happy you did this, it will help me make a decision!! Good job for the first time and on camera too!!! Thank you for inspiring!!

[@Peggy2316]

Love your card and videos Simon!! I enjoyed the laughs too!! I ordered your ink pad bundle so I will have them all!! Can’t wait to receive them!! 😊

[@donnarankin8888]

Great tips, great card and very very enjoyable video! 👍😊💜

[@ronip59]

Okay, I’ve been on the fence, but watching you use it I am jumping in !!

[@melissacrawford303]

Hehehe, Simon caught the foiling bug😁. That's great!

[@lorrainewhiting1267]

Great video Simon, you are so funny, loved the card

[@lorisullivan327]

I have been dragging my feet in getting a foil machine - but I loooove foil, so it’s time… thank you!!!great vid and soo relatable, I seem to lose everything 🤣🤣😂

[@carolprice3142]

I love my glimmer foil kit ! Adds that special something to yourvcards

[@janetdoecke4391]

Simon, practice makes perfect!

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

You had a great first result! Really love what you did for that Christmas card, the foil and ink blending are so pretty. I just bought the Platinum 6 die cutting machine because I wanted a smaller, manual machine (already have the Sizzix Big Shot Plus for my big machine, and the Anna Griffin Empress for my electric machine that cuts with large and regular plates) and I have feeling my next machine purchase will be the Glimmer! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks for sharing this unboxing and demo, Simon, good to know we can be more aggressive with the sand eraser. 👍🏻💖

[@rene443hgtj]

If I was not already a fan this video would have clenched it. Love 💘 how real you were and human. Ty for the demo I just bought one plus pink fresh solid plate. This would definitely be me when it arrives 🤣 your awesome

[@sarascreations6637]

Beautiful demo and love the cards. Just a note if you are using the Gemini foiling press..the dies get heated first, detail up, then apply foil shiny side down then cardstock and plate. The foiling press has different settings on timer and make sure to pull the heating pad after each use so it doesn't warp. Great job Dude!! And LOOK a new cloth LOLOLOL

[@narcydishon8389]

Wow! Beautiful 💖

[@fabianacosta7976]

Welcome to the wonderful world of foiling...😁

[@bcottle51]

I just purchased this but have yet to try it. You just helped get me the nudge to try!

[@winepaperstains]

Awesome tutorial Simon!!! I have lost my plates too! Thought I was the only one! 😂 Beautiful foiling and products! Thanks! 💕👏🏻🙌

[@dianec3279]

Great video! Omg I laughed out loud a few times. I still haven’t committed to a hot foil machine, but you sure made it look fun! Beautiful card! Nancy Stamps, or Yana Smakula. I think they are both amazing foilers. Lots of tips in their videos. I learned so much today. Thanks Simon! 😎

[@danahkempf7614]

You are so much fun to watch!

[@trudiebusse5717]

Loved this video. Such a great learning video!

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Awesome sauce 😎 Simon. So happy you got a foiling machine. Something I want for my 50th birthday which is next Friday the 8th. Adorable cards too.

[@carolprice3142]

Simon this is the best video ever ! You are so funny with this one

[@mariaflies]

Hi Simon, I'm glad your mono sand eraser works, mine leaves grey smudges 😥 Love the way your cars turned out.

[@SharellWesley]

I love my very much . And I work on my all time ❤

[@suethompson3081]

I just love this video. You are so funny 🤣

[@ghlmk5931]

You just had a “senior moment!” Except you were looking for your sunglasses instead of reading glasses, 😂. That was hilarious. You might consider investing in the Spellbinders foil cutter, it helps a lot with avoiding having too much foil as you can put the plate on the cutter and cut foil around it. The final card was lovely!

[@sherrilbjalexander2856]

Just got my Gemini hot foil system. I'm scared! 8-) Thanks for the demo!

[@jschwederslp]

I love the awkward die cutting! I laugh every time!

[@melissacrawford303]

You should do a hot-foiling live with Nancy now.

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois, the card is so beautiful

[@shirleydesrochers3319]

Really pretty!

[@wilmadiaz5517]

I always enjoy your videos, and I’m glad I’m not the only one that loses stuff right in front of me 😂
