Hey friends! I hope you enjoyed the cardmaking hacks and tips in today's video... Leave a comment letting me know your fave tip and if you have any to share with me! :) ✭ FULL supply list with PICTURES: ldli.co/e/37e1m3 ✩ SHOP Simon Hurley create. HERE: ldli.co/e/06jrzz
The loose foam base of the MISTI seems like a pretty major design flaw in an item that's meant to make your crafting precise. For what they charge you think they would have made the pad fit snug and securely without the crafter having to modify the item to make it work as intended. Thanks for showing me this, I'll do my homework on what stamping tool to actually buy.
Great stuff, Simon! One way to extend your plastic overlay and stickles hack even further would be to let your stickles dry on the plastic then peel them off and adhere them to your card front with a dot of liquid adhesive. Now you haven’t wasted ANY of your supplies!!
Tip here i use pixie spray to make any paper masking paper i use heavy weight neenah or accent opague and cut out my stamped images or die cuts etc and spray the back with the pixie spray and it makes better mask then masking paper or post it notes i never get bleeds and it has never tore my paper sometimes i get a bit of adhesive lefted behind and a adhesive earser or my finger .I love it .
The way your inks blend on your paper as I watched one of your previous videos convinced me to get all your inks and paper and I have to say they are really fantastic! Need your new release inks and will keep your stock white paper on hand always!!
I like the tip with embellishments - but did you know that you can then leave the drops to dry on the plastic? Once fully dry you can remove them and then stick them to your card or use on another project (so no waste)
I am soooo glad I just happened to catch this video tonight. I am just a beginner and haven't purchased a lot of ink yet. I already liked your inks for their brightness, but now their blend ability has me convinced!
Hi Simon!! I loved them ALL!! I am new to a lot of this card making, and I have a couple of questions, when you sprayed the pixie spray on the back of the stencil, do you just leave it on there? or what do you use to wipe it off? Also are your ink pads that you were using to blend with waterproof or ......?? Thanks for ANY and ALL Help Simon!!
Thank you for your tip on purple tape under the stamping tool and saw you have labels on your blender so you won’t mix up the colors. Love the idea. Smart!
I can't tell you how many cards I have ruined adding drops in the wrong place. That is a common sense hack that I have never even thought of . Thank you so much.
I have an order coming Monday and that will complete all the SH ink pads that I need. Any tips you give are re appreciated...especially fairly new card enthusiasts like me.
Thanks Simon I love the tape on the back of the foam sheet so it doesn't move, thank fs. I also like the tip of your friends you shared, with the clip holding our embossing dust. You are always so neat and clean as well as creative. Thanks again
Simon, you just caused an Aha! moment. When I learned cake decorating, we used a plastic cover over patterns to practice with frosting. You could practice, wipe off and go again. Your hack with the plastic and embellishments is so smart and easy.😍 Thanks so much, Simon💟
Simon... helpful tips are always nice and so many times something will get discussed that a person never ever thought of before. Keep doing what you do. Thank you, have a good day, and stay safe.
Great tips Simon! Especially the embossing bag, I hate the way the powder makes my hands feel, so a binder clip is just amazing. And the plastic to try out placement of drops, stickles, etc. I always put sequins down to find the right placement & then trade them for the drops. But the plastic lets us see the color to make sure we have the color we want. Brilliant for sure!! Thank you for sharing. Oh also, I like the “dudes & dudettes.” 🤣
I liked the embossing bag & the plastic cover for preview of how stickles looks on your card, and the money-saving tips for the brother labeller. Thanks Simon! 🥰 From Victoria, B.C., Canada 🇨🇦 Take care & be safe! Have a great day. 😃
Great video. Thx for showing all these great ideas. I did my very 1st stamp & embossing today. Used Misti. I started with a "test" stamp, so not to mess up a card I'd spent 4 hrs making. (Did I say I'm a newbie?!) So when I did the 2nd stamp, the real one on my project,.....the Misti shifted. I didn't know to look for that until after it messed up. I was not too happy, since Misti is not cheap. And its WHOLE PURPOSE, is to not move stamp position!!! I ended up using the TEST stamp for my project. SO,...my favorite hack is the purple tape on Misti. Do you think double-sided tape is too strong??? Barbara - Austin, TX USA
Favorite idea was the Pixie already on the stencil. Didn't know you can't make mud with your inks. Great to know. Thanks for the video Simon. Have a great day. Stay 😎
Thanks for the tips. And I liked your intro of Dudes and Dudettes. My favorite tip was the plastic over your card stock to avoid messing up an entire project.
Loved the tip on plastic over my card before adding pearls! Brilliant. Question; would putting a scrap of felt under your Misti pad also help with less movement? I'm thinking of buying a Misti and your demo was great because I did not know about the movement of the pad.
I don’t know about the felt but I may try it out. But you can’t go wrong with the MISTI. It is absolutely the BEST tool I have ever purchased. It helps immensely with mass production, & of course just being able to restamp something is amazing. You will love having one.
Hey Simon thanks for these cool tips!! Q: do you wash the pixie spray off your stencils after each use or leave them on...if the stencils aren't dirty on the top?
Pixie Spray! Supposedly, not everyone will ship it to Canada, but I think this is something my stencils need in their lives. :D I also really like the embossing bag hack - I am currently using smelly EK powder tool, but when it's done, I'm going back to an embossing buddy and adding a handy bulldog clip handle. Thanks for the ideas!
I would like to know if you would please tell me where I can get the layered stencil dies that you demo’d for Cathy Zeilski. I love them And I would like to purchase the set.
The tip using the acetate or plastic sheet to test/try the embellishments is just excellent!! How often does it happen that the first bit of glitter from the bottle makes a mess? Thanks, I always enjoy your hacks and other videos! Rene
Using the clear plastic to test over your project... brilliant! I usually use a scrap piece of cardstock then hold it beside my protect and squint to assess how it would look 😂
WOW!! Thx. I love all your card hack videos. They are the ones when I see the notification come up, with those titles, I drop what I am doing to watch. 🙈 Fav of this one: embossing clip as well as the acetate/plastic test overlay!!!
Hi Simon, I'm new to your videos so I have a few questions for you. 1- when I emboss I use the static pouch but still have splotches of embossing powder where I don't want it, 2- when I use my heat gun my powder seems to bubble, I was told it's because I hold my gun to close but I don't, also I was told to heat from the bottom to set the powder then do the top. Please help me, I'm going crazy. Thank you.
Yes, if the powder is bubbling you are holding the heat gun too close or for too long and burning the powder. Only heat till it turns shiny... then stop. :)

Sorry, but this is Soo old!
Is purple tape any special tape? I have seen a ton of people use it! Is it a must have ?

great idea
Thank you for sharing, I didn't know you could do that.
For the price of the misti,I shouldn't have to be fiddling with taping it down,
Tip here i use pixie spray to make any paper masking paper i use heavy weight neenah or accent opague and cut out my stamped images or die cuts etc and spray the back with the pixie spray and it makes better mask then masking paper or post it notes i never get bleeds and it has never tore my paper sometimes i get a bit of adhesive lefted behind and a adhesive earser or my finger .I love it .
Does it wash off of the stencil? if not how do you store and clean them? Thank you for any answer.
My favourite life hack was the embossing pocket plus clip 😍
Love the hacks, my favorites were the binder clip for the embossing tool and the plastic to try out Sticles
Hey, Dude! My favorite tip is the clip on the magic powder bag. Great idea! I’m definitely going to give that a try. Thanks for the tips, Simon!
The way your inks blend on your paper as I watched one of your previous videos convinced me to get all your inks and paper and I have to say they are really fantastic! Need your new release inks and will keep your stock white paper on hand always!!
I really enjoy how clear you speak and you get right to the point. Very well done.

Yes! That’s a great tip. :)
Thanx for that tip
I didn’t know that so thank you so much.
I am soooo glad I just happened to catch this video tonight. I am just a beginner and haven't purchased a lot of ink yet. I already liked your inks for their brightness, but now their blend ability has me convinced!
Fantastic! My favorite was the plastic sheet to test the drops, and ('cause I couldn't pick just one) the binder clip on the powder bag. Thank you!!
Taping the MISTI pad and using a clip on the bag! Whoa! So cool! Just what I needed! You can teach an old dog! Thanks, Simon!
Hi Simon!! I loved them ALL!! I am new to a lot of this card making, and I have a couple of questions, when you sprayed the pixie spray on the back of the stencil, do you just leave it on there? or what do you use to wipe it off? Also are your ink pads that you were using to blend with waterproof or ......?? Thanks for ANY and ALL Help Simon!!
Brilliant with the clear plastic over the card base to test embellishments!!! Thanks. I found a lot of very good tips on this video.
Like the placing of the plastic over stamped image to see if u like the placement
Thank you for your tip on purple tape under the stamping tool and saw you have labels on your blender so you won’t mix up the colors. Love the idea. Smart!
My favourite was the labels. In Australia the Brother tapes cost $26 each!
Loved the misti hack, it’s so simple and I never thought of it🤣 Please do keep these vids coming they are so so helpful to newbies like me👍🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Like the plastic testing sheet. I don't make cards, but I make my own background papers for scrapbooking. This is something I will definitely try.
I can't tell you how many cards I have ruined adding drops in the wrong place. That is a common sense hack that I have never even thought of . Thank you so much.
Liked the spray on stencil hack to hold it in place for coloring, etc.
The misti and the embossing bag hacks were my favorite. My pad on my misti moves almost everytime, now I have a way to fix that. Thanks!!
Great idea w/the anti-static pouch! Thx, Simon & Ricky! 😁👍🏼
Great Tips. My. Fav is the one where you use the clear plastic to try your embellishments.
Great tips Simon. I really loved the embossing bag + clip hack! Thank you for sharing all of these.
Love the tip on using the binder clip with the powder pad. Thanks for sharing that.
The handle for the embossing buddy was fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
I have an order coming Monday and that will complete all the SH ink pads that I need. Any tips you give are re appreciated...especially fairly new card enthusiasts like me.
The Misti hack is awesome! That happens to me pretty much every time!! Thanks, Simon!
Me too Laurie!! Glad you found it helpful too. :)
I love the embossing buddy trick and the misti tape holder.
I love, love the plastic trick! It just makes so much sense. Thanks!!
Loving how your inks blend so beautifully can’t wait to buy them, you are extremely talented 🥰😁🇦🇺
Oh I love those bauble stamps! The tip with using plastic foil is really great. Sometimes, I struggle with self-adhesive rhinestones. Tfs
Thanks Simon I love the tape on the back of the foam sheet so it doesn't move, thank fs. I also like the tip of your friends you shared, with the clip holding our embossing dust. You are always so neat and clean as well as creative. Thanks again

Simon... helpful tips are always nice and so many times something will get discussed that a person never ever thought of before. Keep doing what you do. Thank you, have a good day, and stay safe.
I’d like to see some organizational hacks! I really liked spraying the stencil. Where do you get the spray?
Loved all the tips and hacks. Especially the static pad/paper clip. Good job.
Great tips Simon! Especially the embossing bag, I hate the way the powder makes my hands feel, so a binder clip is just amazing. And the plastic to try out placement of drops, stickles, etc. I always put sequins down to find the right placement & then trade them for the drops. But the plastic lets us see the color to make sure we have the color we want. Brilliant for sure!! Thank you for sharing. Oh also, I like the “dudes & dudettes.” 🤣
I like the one that shows how you can test out your placement of drops before applying to card. Thank you
Love the cardmaking hacks! Keep them coming...so fun.
Thanks for all the hacks and tips Simon.
Since I am a beginner card maker, I loved all the hacks.
Thank you for sharing. I want to start taking my cards farther with my stamps so I found all of them helpful.
Loved the plastic test for embellishments!
Your inks look like they’re very nice! Thanks so much for the great tips 💕
The embossing bag with the office clip was a great tip. Thank you
Embossing bag hack was my fave. Thanks!
I loved the powder with the clip! Great idea!
I liked the embossing bag & the plastic cover for preview of how stickles looks on your card, and the money-saving tips for the brother labeller. Thanks Simon! 🥰 From Victoria, B.C., Canada 🇨🇦 Take care & be safe! Have a great day. 😃

Really great tips! I have not seen any of them before. I especially like the embossing bag one! Thanks!
Testing embellishments on plastic over the project? Brilliant!!!
Excellent clear tips - thank you
Great video. Thx for showing all these great ideas.
I did my very 1st stamp & embossing today. Used Misti.

SO,...my favorite hack is the purple tape on Misti.
Do you think double-sided tape is too strong???
Barbara - Austin, TX USA
All of these tips are great. This inspired me to use my Stickles again. Just ordered labels
Thanks Kelly! I'm so glad... have fun playing with your Stickles. :)
Thanks for the video...my fave was the clip on the embossing buddy...but they were all very helpful!
Thanks for the tip on the tape for the Brother label maker!
I need all the hacks, that you mentioned-love them all!
Thanks for the tips! The embossing bag clip was my favorite one.
Thanks Laurie!
Favorite idea was the Pixie already on the stencil. Didn't know you can't make mud with your inks. Great to know. Thanks for the video Simon. Have a great day. Stay 😎
That embossing bag hack is a game changer!!!
Think you blending was very nice. I'll have to look into your inks.
Thanks for the tips. And I liked your intro of Dudes and Dudettes. My favorite tip was the plastic over your card stock to avoid messing up an entire project.

I think the tape works best for me. It doesn't move too much, but I find it helps to tape it down a little bit! :)
I don’t know about the felt but I may try it out. But you can’t go wrong with the MISTI. It is absolutely the BEST tool I have ever purchased. It helps immensely with mass production, & of course just being able to restamp something is amazing. You will love having one.
What about using pixie spray on the back of the mat? There won’t be any waste
@@DawnBarb That's what I was thinking. Great minds....😊
Hey Simon thanks for these cool tips!! Q: do you wash the pixie spray off your stencils after each use or leave them on...if the stencils aren't dirty on the top?
Yes, wash before the glitter or medium drys on it!
These are great tips. I like the pixie spray tip. Thanks
I like being a “dudette”. 😍🥰
Using the plastic sheet to check where you want to put embellishments is my favourite hack tfs
I like the paper clip with the embossing bag hack❤️
Where do you buy the Misti? I’m a beginner card maker! Love your hacks!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pixie Spray! Supposedly, not everyone will ship it to Canada, but I think this is something my stencils need in their lives. :D I also really like the embossing bag hack - I am currently using smelly EK powder tool, but when it's done, I'm going back to an embossing buddy and adding a handy bulldog clip handle. Thanks for the ideas!
Also, one of my first year bio profs called the class dudes and dudettes, thanks for the flashback!
Great tips Simon!! You always amaze me, you are so talented!! 😊
Love the repositionable adhesive for stencils! Also and going to put a clip in my embossing bag.
Oooh!! I've messed up SO many backgrounds from my MISTI pad shifting! Love this tip!
Yesss! Me too
I would like to know if you would please tell me where I can get the layered stencil dies that you demo’d for Cathy Zeilski. I love them And I would like to purchase the set.
Thank you Simon I just started watching your videos I love them my favorite tip is the label maker thank you so much
These are great tips. I have been watching a few of your videos. There's a lot of good information about some of the products. Keep up the good work.
I love the Dude book in the background!!! I bought some to give away as gifts because I love the artwork!!!
The tip using the acetate or plastic sheet to test/try the embellishments is just excellent!!
How often does it happen that the first bit of glitter from the bottle makes a mess?
Thanks, I always enjoy your hacks and other videos!
Rene
I liked the see through berry hack. Saves a lot paper
I am going to try the embossing bag hack and stencil spray.
Great tips. Thanks Simon.
I like this video, Simon. Short sweet and to the point. Great tips! More like this would be fantastic! Great job!
Very helpful. Really liked the label maker one. I’m heading over to Amazon now.
Great tips. Thank you!! Definitely going to check out your inks, I am the queen of making brown.
The embossing powder bag tip. Wow!
Loved the stencil
Using the clear plastic to test over your project... brilliant!
I usually use a scrap piece of cardstock then hold it beside my protect and squint to assess how it would look 😂
WOW!! Thx. I love all your card hack videos. They are the ones when I see the notification come up, with those titles, I drop what I am doing to watch. 🙈
Fav of this one: embossing clip as well as the acetate/plastic test overlay!!!
Thanks Cassandra! Glad you enjoy the life hack videos. :)
Love the Misti tip. I wondered about that. Did you get the foam with the grid on it already or did you adhere a paper grid on top?
This is my first Simon video. Wow...I really like this channel!!! yes yes yes - I'm totally subscribing!!!
Hi Simon, I'm new to your videos so I have a few questions for you. 1- when I emboss I use the static pouch but still have splotches of embossing powder where I don't want it, 2- when I use my heat gun my powder seems to bubble, I was told it's because I hold my gun to close but I don't, also I was told to heat from the bottom to set the powder then do the top.
