Hi friends! Leave a comment letting me know which card/product is your favorite. :) ✭ FULL supply list with PICTURES: ldli.co/e/07qg935 A few questions I wanted to address: Q: what makes this Scout different from others Spellbinders has launched? A: this scout is matte black, has sleek minimal branding, and includes the exclusive birthday embossing folder & dies. Q: Does this black Scout need to be "seasoned" like other previous Scout machines? A: No. Spellbinders is always trying to make things perfect and that has been fixed on this black machine. You can cut perfectly out of the box! Q: I like the Scrapbookcom Magic Mat in my larger machines... do they have on that fits the Scout? A: Yes. Although I don't always use the Magic Mat, I know many people love it and they do have one for the Scout here: shrsl.com/4tbgc (affiliate) Q: I love the birthday embossing folder & dies! Can I purchase them separately from your black Scout machine? A: These birthday supplies are EXCLUSIVE to this Scout and will never be sold separately, but you can find other birthday supplies from my line here: shrsl.com/4tbgd (affiliate)
I saw that you have been on RUclips now for 10 years. Is that right? Congratulations. I can’t think of another young man who deserves to be so successful. I bet your family is so proud.
Simon, Congratulations!! I absolutely can not wait for my "Space" stamps and dies to arrive! I always say "how much does Grandma love you" to my grandson and he says " to the moon and back"! Perfect!!!!
Congratulations on a fabulous release and a die cutting machine with your name on it! Extremely happy to see that Awkward Die Cutting made more than 1 appearance in the making of the video. 🧑🚀👽
Everything about this release is so perfect for the times. Portable and lightweight black Platinum Scout for the restless people who always want to be out and about. The adorable one-eyed alien, the planets and sayings…The entire collection is delightful and FUN! Kudos, Simon!
Agreed the little machine I got from altenew was years ago and a hair less than 3” because the plates are 3” wide and I’ve run into small single does that are just a SMIDGE too wide ! Lol anyway congratulations on your branding because I think it’s a great option ! I agree also always make one a cut plate and another the top plate and only replace the bottom cutting plate when it’s worn. I’m sure soon there will be a magic mat for this size and version! I also appreciate your sense of humor and neediness (in a good way) Simon! It’s fun and you make me laugh when you show up with a space helmet or a penguin mask! Lol so glad you’re always being you Simon! Authentic self and no imposter !
SIMON! I love your videos, please produce more cards and techniques. You make me laugh with your humor and not afraid to use props. Keep it up, it always puts a smile on my face. You are so talented and I learn so much from you. Great little die machine. Thank you.
Love your new die cutting machine. I love that it comes with full plate system and the wonderful humorous birthday set. Great new release Simon congratulations. Love seeing you again. Especially the awkward die cutting lol
Love the bobbles and the glasses! It was a great funny moment. The embossing stars are definately on my wishlist. Also, my scout is nearly brand new, but I want those birthday candles...
Hello, my dear Simon. It's always a pleasure to see your beautiful smile and creative ideas and products. My favorite card was the last one, I love those green little aliens. Thank you for sharing. Wish you and your loved ones the best always. Greetings from Morelia México
Congratulations on your new releases, Simon. I applaud Spellbinders for going the “extra mile” of making the lil die cutting / embossing machine beefy enough to be worth the investment, but I’ll cherish my very old Sizzix Embossing Boutique for its greater flexibility. Yes, it’s “rated for embossing” only, but using SHARON LUSKA’s trick of using VINYL SHEETING between thin versions of cutting plates, the 5” THROAT makes it flexible enough to use standard embossing folders AND DIES, and I can put an A2 TOP FOLD card base through it. I T R U L Y wish companies would build on the successes of the past instead of beginning again with each new generation … I think we’d all be living with far less pollution, cleaner, cheaper energy, and maybe even less homelessness if we didn’t take a step back for every 2 forward.
The spaceship/UFO die sets are my favorite! I have two great grandsons that are perfect for these die sets. I have two other space ship die sets, but the side legs only have one die so I have to cut it twice and flip one over to use the back of it, which I don't like at all. Thank you for having all three dies for the legs! And thanks for the laugh with the glasses, antennae, and helmet!
I have a space-obsessed grandson that this set is perfect for! And you're hilarious with your awkward die cutting props, they make me giggle every time!
I didn’t think you could top your Santa with sunglasses but the alien sunglasses & deeley boppers did 😂. Love your humour. I have the original Scout & love it. I’m glad to see the embossing folder & stencils are sold separately now if only the dies are. The Scout I have has a best wishes die, floral e/f & floral dies. Most of us have a ton of florals. The candles are a much better choice. Happy new year!
Congratulations on your release of a die cutting machine it looks great and the embossing folder is awesome. Perhaps you could consider designing a electric machine in the future., a small electric machine would be great for taking anywhere and help those that have been crafting for a long time and have health issues as using a manual machine is harder to use.
LOL Simon your so silly! Took me by surprise and I definitely need to get a traveling size spell binder. Just looking at the alien dies I was already thinking of ideas of what I can make, thank you for the video! 👽
This is adorable and will be so handy compared to a large (but beloved!) machine when you just need a few things at the time! Very well thought out! 🎂🔥🎈🎀🔲
Happy New Year 🎉great video so cleaver,awesome video very cleaver,good sense of humor 😊love your new products awesome cards did a wonderful job demonstrating very cleaver thank you
awesome simon, I bought the machine!!! its on its way less then 3 hours away, so far you are the only person I have heard mention its raised up in the middle ,ah an inovation!!
Hello Simon, I wish you and your family an happy new year from France. I love your vidéos and your creativity. My favorite card is the one with the rocket. Bien amicalement.
OMGOODNESS……you’ve really shot it out of the park…..they are all so cool. Wish I still had kids to make for I also just have to say….I love the names of your colours on your stamp pads. Way to go…..I’ve forwarded to a couple friends with grandkids…….thank you
Wow Simon! Love this release 💞 the details are quite impressive and this video is inspiring and I’ll be ordering through your links! Thank you 😁. P.s…. Never stop the awkward die cutting
will you make a matching stamp set with sent to go with it and maybe a stencil set also good for makeing different kinds of cards to go with die and embossing folder?
Simon this release is a delightful set of creativity! While I prefer stamping but this set has me interested because of the details. It’s not only cute and fun it’s thoughtful in design from insets down to the score lines for the rocket stabilizers placement! Well done! I love the Scout. Sleek! I have had the Sidekick Mini since it first came out. I get frustrated at how often the opening is a tiny bit too small. I rarely use anymore for that reason. Yours feeding slot is an inch bigger. A huge difference when you need to cut one extra doodad and don’t want to get out the large machine. I forgot…❤ the awkward cutting shots and the fun props. Best looking alien glasses I have ever seen! I laughed out loud and hubby wanted to know what was so funny. He admitted he liked the set as well. Now THATS a win😂
Yay!! So glad you liked the release and enjoyed some of the funnier parts of the video. And bonus points for your husband liking the set too! Big win!😂
I saw that you have been on RUclips now for 10 years. Is that right? Congratulations. I can’t think of another young man who deserves to be so successful. I bet your family is so proud. I admit it, I looked to see if you had a wedding ring on. Lol. That’s what 70-year-old women do.
Hi Simon, new subscriber here. I am still watching this video as I type this. As someone who owns a Cricut Maker already, what are the benefits of these die cutting / embossing machines? What do you like the most about them vs. a Cricut machine? I'm so close to going down this slippery slope of purchasing a die cutting machine because they look so easy to use, but I also want to be responsible with my crafting supplies...
Simon I watch your RUclips videos and love your stamps …do you have your own website where I can buy them ? And do you ship to the UK ?thank you for all your inspiration for card making x
It is an exclusive with the new black Scout Die Cutting machine so it's not sold separately. You can find my other birthday themed cardmaking supplies here: shrsl.com/4tgzs (affiliate)
Hi Simon, I have the 6 and I love it. I have a couple of genuine design questions, is there a reason why they dropped the carry handle? I feel like it adds to the luxury feel and look of the platinum and would have still been nice in the compact varient. I am also curious as to why they've kept a full size turning handle, I have always found even on the 6 the handle was too big making the machine more awkward to store. On this it looks disproportionate. Overall I love the colour and neutral logo design just genuinely curious on these aspects.
This one is so small and light I don’t think the carrying handle is necessary/wouldn’t fit in the small top of the machine. I think the crank handle stayed the same for ergonomics. If needed it can be removed with a screw for easy storage/travel.
I like my electric go power & emboss die cutting machine nice thick plates so they don't warp. Plates that come with that machine as well as others are way to thin & warp to easy
For all those people mentioning space mad kids/grandkids (nieces, nephews, favorite neighbors) if you print their face small you could put them in the window of the rocket ship, pasting from the back. No grandkids but I think my grand puppy would like a trip to the moon.
No, it has slightly grippy pads, but you have to hold it down as mentioned. I like no suction because lots of times the suction stops working well and feels gimmicky.
I guess I don't understand why all the different size die cutting/embossing machines.. I have the 9 inch Bira Craft Adjustable Die Cutting & Embossing Machine and it does it all, plus it has dial settings for pressure.. can anyone explain to me what the purpose is for having more than one machine?
So very cute but I hardly have room for the large machine so why would I want two? I only craft at home no travel crafting for me. But I'm sure there are plenty of crafters excited about your new product. Enjoy.
I originally bought a Big Shot 24 years ago, and it’s still going strong! But now I have an electric Gemini, the Big Shot and a Baby Blue. My Gemini stays on my cutting desk in my craft room, my Big Shot moves around the room with me as I need it, and I love the mini for crafting on the go. Of course it isn’t necessary, but the mini is so nice for when I want to be upstairs with my hubby watching TV but still doing something.

Awkward die cutting, my favourite! Congrats on your machine and release. I hope this year brings you much success!
Thanks so much!!
Great release ❤
Would love to see the die-cut machine in girly colors.... bubblegum pink, white, and teal. Really cute little space ship and alien! Congrats! Simon
So much fun!🌟👽🚀
Merci pour le tuto en français, merveilleux et encore merci.

I can't believe it has been 10 years since I saw you . I didn't realize some of the stamps I have from you are that old.
I've never got on with the small machines. I have broken them, but this one looks stronger. I might have to get it
So glad that will match my black platinum 6 from SBC.
Yay!!!

Simon....you have that machine scout in white color?
Simon, is this scout the same as the white scout? What is the difference please?
Wow that machine looks a lot like the small machine from Stampin Up
I want the candles embossing folder. Can I buy it separately?
Hi! It is an exclusive to the machine bundle and only is available to purchase inside the package. :)
Simon I watch your RUclips videos and love your stamps …do you have your own website where I can buy them ? And do you ship to the UK ?thank you for all your inspiration for card making x
Do you need to season this machine like the other scouts?
@@poorvamalhotra123 nope! That has been changed for this run. All of the black scout shouldn’t need seasoning. :)
@@simon.hurley That is so awesome. I was worried, but here I go to get one :)
Please ‼️‼️
How do I find the 3D candle embossed folder ???????
I have been searching everywhere ‼️‼️‼️‼️
It is an exclusive with the new black Scout Die Cutting machine so it's not sold separately. You can find my other birthday themed cardmaking supplies here: shrsl.com/4tgzs (affiliate)
@simon.hurley thank you .....
I have been searching for 2 days for it .......
Hi Simon, I have the 6 and I love it.
I have a couple of genuine design questions, is there a reason why they dropped the carry handle? I feel like it adds to the luxury feel and look of the platinum and would have still been nice in the compact varient.
I am also curious as to why they've kept a full size turning handle, I have always found even on the 6 the handle was too big making the machine more awkward to store. On this it looks disproportionate.
Overall I love the colour and neutral logo design just genuinely curious on these aspects.
This one is so small and light I don’t think the carrying handle is necessary/wouldn’t fit in the small top of the machine. I think the crank handle stayed the same for ergonomics. If needed it can be removed with a screw for easy storage/travel.
@simon.hurley Thanks kindly for the response.
I like my electric go power & emboss die cutting machine nice thick plates so they don't warp. Plates that come with that machine as well as others are way to thin & warp to easy
I’m glad you still have the awkward die cutting face with this awesome Scout! Great release!
Haha! I just can’t help it! 😂
Are the C Cutting Plates 3mm thick? Both plates the same?
The C cutting plates are both the same. :)
For all those people mentioning space mad kids/grandkids (nieces, nephews, favorite neighbors) if you print their face small you could put them in the window of the rocket ship, pasting from the back. No grandkids but I think my grand puppy would like a trip to the moon.
Genius idea!!
Does the machine have suction feet to stick to the surface it is on?
No, it has slightly grippy pads, but you have to hold it down as mentioned. I like no suction because lots of times the suction stops working well and feels gimmicky.
If I had watched the whole video before asking, I would have seen the answer--sorry! Now I'll watch the rest...🙃
Can this machine cut plastic and metal too?
Will they make a Magic Mat for the Scout?
Yes! There is one available
What happened to the precision glue press? I see that you are using a precision tip bottle?
I still use a mix of both. :)
How much is it?
I guess I don't understand why all the different size die cutting/embossing machines.. I have the 9 inch Bira Craft Adjustable Die Cutting & Embossing Machine and it does it all, plus it has dial settings for pressure.. can anyone explain to me what the purpose is for having more than one machine?
So very cute but I hardly have room for the large machine so why would I want two? I only craft at home no travel crafting for me. But I'm sure there are plenty of crafters excited about your new product. Enjoy.
❤❤❤❤
You really don't need all of these different sized cutting machines! Just use one bigger one and save your money!
I originally bought a Big Shot 24 years ago, and it’s still going strong! But now I have an electric Gemini, the Big Shot and a Baby Blue. My Gemini stays on my cutting desk in my craft room, my Big Shot moves around the room with me as I need it, and I love the mini for crafting on the go. Of course it isn’t necessary, but the mini is so nice for when I want to be upstairs with my hubby watching TV but still doing something.
