Awesome video Marion! So fun to see your excitement about the Stamping Foam. I tested so many different types of foam to get the perfect color and density and am glad you noticed! Hugs🤗 P.S.: for any other viewers in the UK… Art From The Hearts carries the Stamping Foam!
Great video! I don’t believe Simon claimed to invent this tool, just his iteration of it. Love the variety of options of sizes and shapes. And the creative ways to use it seem endless! Lots of fun!! Your cards are lovely btw!! 🧑🏼🎨😀
Hi Mari, I think you’re spot on there, I love the heart and circle, I dropped a hint to him about a tear drop shape, one can only hope 🤣🤣 so glad you like them 🥰🥰🥰
Before cut and dry there was this yellow foam from the original create and craft show, some 16/17 years ago, which did exactly the same thing. I found mine the other day and put it aside to use one day😂
thank you for the side by side. I remember there being aother and Nellie Snellen has Magic foam, it's pink and various shapes, but that wasn't the one we say 8 years ago or 5 -10 I can't remember exactly except I thought : that's not new" when I saw it
I was about to order mine a while ago, when Craftstash got it in. I did not know the Cut and Dry did that too. I am inspired to use mine tomorrow now, thanks, that looks wonderful ❤
Thank you for this experiment. I live in Toronto, Canada and finding the stamping foam is next to impossible but I have 6 packages of Cut n Dry foam. This is very exciting! Just a note... we had stamping foam in blue back in the 90's and it was great fun then too. I'm thrilled to be able to use my packages of Cut n Dry foam. Thank you.
Oh fabulous Jan, I’m so glad you’re going to have a play with your Cut n Dry… have fun !! On another note, there’s a shop called Clipper Street Scrapbook company they are based in Vancouver but I know she ships all over. Her name is Deanna and she’s brilliant. Xxx
Good video. Simon’s foam is fun! I just used it and pressed it into an embossing folder yesterday. Is that Altenew set called mixed Tropical leaves? Thank you.
Fabulous video as always. Appreciate your excitement and energy. Your creative skills and playtime is appreciated. In one of your videos I watched today - not sure if it was this one 😂 you mentioned needing some better to clean your stamps - Gina K Designs in the USA has a Tidy Towel product which is great for cleaning stamps- keep the towel damp- works great. Love the die you used in this video. Since you are in the UK - you might be interested so thought I would share a UK company I I love and continually purchase from---Claritystamp in the UK has fabulous products - amazing stencils, dies, stamps and more- exceptional quality. Fun fact - Barbara Gray - Owner - back in 1993 had the idea of transparent/clear stamps instead of rubber stamps and was the first to make clear stamps. I am grateful that she did as all my stamps are transparent/clear and most are from Claritystamp.. Their stamps, stencils and more are all made in house. I love the many different designs they offer in their product line. I have a large stash of card making supplies and the majority I own are from Claritystamp- their Customer Serive is exceptional.
I love the stamping foam, works great with embossing folders too. I see now it comes in a larger size which is great. I was sent the cut and dry in error and it stunk to high heaven, I threw it in the bin. What was the green cloth you used?
Hi Marion, I bought the Stamping foam but still haven't used it so thanks for the enthusiastic video. One thing though where did you get your blue tape from, did you get it here in the UK?
Hi Carol, warning …. Once you get it out and start using it you won’t want to put it down 😂😂😂 The mint tape is from Scrapbook.com , I think I’ve put a link in the description, they’re in the States but their shipping is so reasonable xxx
@@marionemberson Hi Marion, thanks so much for the reply. I wasn't expecting a response so quick. I'm new to your channel so I've got some catching up to do. I'm not new to crafting, sewing and knitting though been doing that since the age of 5. Anyway I've got some viewing to do. 😂 Thanks again. Xxx
@@carolneish9580 hi Carol, you’re very welcome, I’m in my lunch break, so phone in hand 😂😂 I think my first craft was making mice out of beach shells when I was about 7. Haven’t stopped since 😂😂😂 have a lovely time catching up. Xxx
@@karenmclaughlan9128 hi Karen. You could print without misting with water, but you won’t get much of an impression. You only need a light misting to activate the ink. Unless you want a really watercoloured effect. Each print will give a different effect, but they will all be useful. The final and lightest one will lend itself well to adding other techniques, like overstamping or stencilling.
I bought a stamping foam over 7years ago none branded and it's still working perfectly then I noticed everyone was raving about Simon Hurley version as if he invented the idea
Hi Su, I suppose to all new crafters out there it was Simon that introduced it to them. As long as everyone’s happy that’s all that matters. It’s good to know yours has lasted over 7 years 😍😍😍
OK this is all kinds of awesome!!! I haven’t actually seen this technique before so I loved watching you experiment with it! Fabulous results and I think it’s great that you can achieve so many looks - there’s sth for everyone! Love your videos ❤️
Yes, Marion... I'm older and hopefully wiser now! LOL 😂😆 So old in fact, that I can't remember actually when I started stamping and doing paper crafting. 😜
@@cindyrogers9099 😂😂 the great thing about getting old, is forgetting what we did do and then doing it all over again and getting excited at something new… 😂😂😂 ❤️❤️❤️
I loved both of the water color paper cards. I usually like very tidy looks, but, these were outstanding!!
Thanks so much Judy 😍😍

Hi Simon, I’ve just got the heart shape, can’t wait to play with that. Now we need one with a couple of different sized circles 😜😜😜😜
Great video! I don’t believe Simon claimed to invent this tool, just his iteration of it. Love the variety of options of sizes and shapes. And the creative ways to use it seem endless! Lots of fun!! Your cards are lovely btw!! 🧑🏼🎨😀
Hi Mari, I think you’re spot on there, I love the heart and circle, I dropped a hint to him about a tear drop shape, one can only hope 🤣🤣 so glad you like them 🥰🥰🥰
This is definitely on my list to buy! If you love leaves Simon Hurley's video shows you how to use this on real leaves. Can't wait to try that!
Oh fab, I did some leaves, it’s really cool 🥰🥰🥰
Oh brilliant. Didn't know you could do this using the cut-n- dry foam. Definitely will be trying this. Thank you Marion for sharing 👍 xx
Thanks Shirley, have fun creating wonderful patterns ❤️❤️❤️
Some gorgeous cards , and loved the circle ⭕️ dies , made a lovely pattern on the foam ,,,,. Xxxxxx 💗🌷
Thank you Annie, that die is stunning, I love A Pocketful of Happiness, her designs are gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
That die made a great impression!
It was lovely wasn’t it Janet 🥰🥰🥰
Before cut and dry there was this yellow foam from the original create and craft show, some 16/17 years ago, which did exactly the same thing. I found mine the other day and put it aside to use one day😂
😂😂😂 hope you get to use it 😍😍
Wow great idea love the the die and the colours are just beautiful go so well together xx
Glad you enjoyed it Michele xxxx
Great product. I'll give it a try! Thank you.
It really is fun Paula 🥰🥰🥰

Lawn fawn Shammy, wonderful! Ooo, glad you told me the cut n dry smells, I bought Simons foam and no odour, lots of fun.

I love the stamping foam. I find if I use Distress Oxide inks, I can get at least 4 prints from one inking. Just a light spray between impressions.
That’s a great tip Sheryl ❤❤
Sheryl could you use the distress oxide without water aswell x

Simon actually does mention, he did not invent the foam. No one carried it anymore tho… I think he mentioned it several times in his videos.
@@sherrydmyterko-tramp8654 he certainly did 🤗🤗 such a lovely lad 🥰🥰

@@marionemberson can’t wait! ❤️
@@_apocketfullofhappiness ❤️❤️❤️
I remember the foam form! Ages and ages ago!
We’re showing our age now Cindy 🤣🤣 I’ve just ordered his circle one, I can’t wait to play with that ❤️❤️
Yes, Marion... I'm older and hopefully wiser now! LOL 😂😆
So old in fact, that I can't remember actually when I started stamping and doing paper crafting. 😜

Is this a comparison? I think the title should read Stamping foam VS. Cut and dry foam.
Hi Leslie, it nearly said that, I titled it Simon Harley’s Stamping Foam V’s Cut N Dry 🥴🥴🥴❤️❤️
