    Hi, Simon. My fave is the magnetic sheet. How about making a different 'sandwich' from the three components - magnetic sheet on the top, hardboard in the middle and glass on the back? Then you've got one side for dies you're using and the reverse for stamps when stamping. Good luck with your new venture.

    Hi Simon!! 1. I created a magnet frame with a cheap acrylic frame from the dollar store. It stands up like you were talking about, and it also has a place for stamps you're using as well as the die cuts.
    2. You can sprinkle those embellishments down, pick them up with the tape, then just turn it over. Easier than placing them one by one.
    3. Can't wait for your inks!!
    4. That roll of adhesive is amazing!! It's one of my fav tools!! Great idea on the vellum!

    @susanjohnson318 5 лет назад

    Years ago, I often embossed on vellum with white powder, then rubbed chalks on top of the powder with q-tips. Great, but then it was hard to put on a card. I wrapped it around the entire card with a strip of adhesive on the back or attached with a cord. But now I can just use my huge roll of Scrapbook adhesive to put anything on vellum onto a card. Yay! I have lots of embossing folders because of the craft aisle in Tuesday morning! Many different designs for cheaper -- lots of fun!

    @suzannemartinez8147 5 лет назад

    I’m a visual person so it would have helped me understand exactly what you did with the Vellum and the stamping up sticker paper. I had to replay it several times and really listen closely to understand that the vellum was on the sticky paper but what really clued me in was seeing you peel the cut out vellum sticker you created off the sticky paper and then reapply it for later use. It was at this point that I realized you must have applied the vellum off camera. I enjoyed your video showing your testing of our card making life hacks and I hope to see more in the future. My favorite was watching your technique of embossing over any colored ink on hand. That helped me a lot. Your inks are really pretty also. Keep up the great work and thank you.

    Hi Simon, I love the vellum idea! I too have the xyron but using larger pieces are a pain! I will order the adhesive. Also, to hold my stamps and dies for a project, I have an acrylic sign holder that I put magnetic tape on the bottom leaving the top portion free to hold my stamps. It sits nicely on my desk and I put pretty paper inside where the sign would go. They use these in schools and offices to show peoples' names.

    Hi Simon, another great video thank you I have a question on a problem I have some extremely intricate dies and it’s very hard to glue them onto something so I started putting double-sided tape behind the card stock before I die cut it I have this big roll of Elizabeth crabs double-sided tape but what happens is my Gemini Junior doesn’t cut through it very well and it’s like the plastic backing is too strong and I end up having to like pokey throughout every little bit. Which I had hoped I would never have to do again. am I just using the wrong double-sided adhesive ?? the Gemini Junior cuts everything else out so well until I get to this thanks Simon. Janie

      Hi Janie! When doing this the cardstock can't be too thick... thats why i use it with vellum. If you do use cardstock, try using the metal shim while cutting... this should help it cut through. It may not cut through the adhesive backer sheet, so you can just peel the die cut out of the sheet like a sticker. :)

      @@simon.hurley I saw Karen Acheson dip a sponge in a small pool of glue and gently rub on back of the intricate dies. I haven't tried it yet.

      Thanks Simon, I do use the metal plate and it still does not really cut through the plastic back sheet. It kind of leaves and impression but it just doesn’t come through. One problem is that I like to make these things and I don’t have anywhere in mind to put them just yet. I just like to take the pretty diecut piece and add it to my collection for when I do want to use it. I have been using some really beautiful papers and I cannot say that they are particularly thin they are not really paper, they are card stock!

    All great tips but I loved the magnetic frame for keeping dies during a project and embossing acetate sheets! How cool!. I also loved the roll of adhesive from Scrapbook.com with vellum-I discovered that a few months ago and I love it! Thanks!

    Simon, I am new to spectrum noir pens - alcohol base. I notice you use alcohol pens. do you have problems with the color going through the paper? Do I have to use special paper? Or if I use them I have to cut what I am using and layer it onto the card? I just bought the entire set (72) and would hate not to be able to use them because they bleed through.

    • @simon.hurley
      @simon.hurley  5 лет назад

      Alcohol pens do bleed through cardstock, but they create beautiful blended effects. :)

    I love the tip of embossing the acetate, the magnetic frame, and the sticker maker for Vellum I have a few sizes of the sticker makers, so, would be able to use the larger one for larger projects.

    • @simon.hurley

      Yes, Xyron still makes the larger sticker makers - 5in and 9in, I believe are the other sizes besides the tiny X one.

  • @fredheffner
    @fredheffner 5 лет назад

    Just thought I would add a note. Xyron is available in 5 inch and 9 inch widths. You can actually Xyron a whole piece of 8.5x11 inch paper. I'm not saying I don't also have a roll of the wide tape you showed. I also really liked the magnet sheet frame. I'll be making one of those for sure.

    Congratulations once again Simon!!! I am very interested in your inks. Also, I like your new counter set up behind you!! Gives me some ideas for my room. Love all the hacks but my faves would be the magnetic frame (looks so decorative), the clear embossing tip (I don't have a lot of embossing powders) and I love the embossed acetate!! Can't wait to try that on a card! Have a great week!! :)

    You'd be surprised at what you can use to emboss texture onto card. Normal stencils or card cut outs will do the job, as will patterned doilies from the dollar stores; non slip plastic shelf liner and even sequins!

    Another material that's fun to embellish is vellum. The areas that are embossed turn white. You may need to play with the sandwich since it can crack if there's too much pressure.

    I have watched this video twice. I missed the hack about vellum the 1st time. That would have solved an issue with my card using vellum to water color on. Definitely one of the favorites plus the acetate and using our inks to create our own colored embossing powder look.
