Hey there! Thanks for watching... Be sure to leave a comment letting me know which card was your favorite! :) Here is a link to the full blog post with much more info and full supply list: www.inklipse.com/?p=2612
I've been watching your videos for years. It is amazing to see your seemingly innate talent to describe what your doing, and why. I don't know if you worked for years to get there, but you have found your super power! Quite a bit like Tim Holtz!
I truly enjoy card making video. You make it so interesting. I love your voice and how you present things. I am so happy I found you. I will always look forward to more of your videos I have learned so much from you.
Absolutely love your idea of putting the butterfly on purple tape to do the embossing!!!! GENIUS!!!!! Press and seal wow another great use of an everyday item!!!
They're all very nice, but I especially liked the embossing powder over the layers. The plastic wrap and low tack tape are also techniques new to me so I learned something new. Thanks for sharing.
You are just AMAZING!!!! So young , talented and a Great instructor!! Your ideas are great and quite helpful. Best to you. You have a GREAT future . Keep them coming ! Thank you.
Hi Simon, I just learned about Press N Seal yesterday and got a box from Amazon today. This was a great tutorial! Not sure I have a fav they were all gorgeous but probably the second one. So much fun! Thank you! 😃
Hi Simon, Oh boy, this is a hard one, I loved them all, but I think my favorite card was the “ Thinking of you” one. I love your videos; they’re so informative, and you’re so upbeat and positive. The entire experience is always enjoyable. Thanks so much, and I hope you have a great day
It's too hard to choose a favorite. All are really smashing! Great techniques and love how you get right to it without superfluous conversation about your aunt's cat did this or that and that's why we didn't hear from you sooner, etc, lol. You also explain what you are doing so well. You got a new subscriber out of me. Thanks so much!
Can't decide which I like best. All of them are amazing. I guess I'm gonna go with the triple layer, triple clear emboss butterfly you did first. Stunning! I want those Birchpress dies but the price point is so tough to justify when I have such a stash of single dies. Perhaps a birthday wish.
Hi Simon...All your cards are beautiful but I like the thinking of you card the best...so simple but so lovely ! I have never heard of Birchpress dies before but I like what I see so far...thanks for sharing the great techniques and tips...hugs...Wanda xx
I really love these butterflies. I love how you used the oxides and I can't wait to try the press n seal. I really like to use die cutting for inlay. Such fun. Thanks Simon
Terrific cards. Hard to decide which one I like best. The oxides are great for coloring white cardstock. I keep a large swatch sheet by my desk to reference what the colors will look like when they dry. The Press N Seal technique is awesome. I love inlaying dies, but it can be frustrating keeping track of all the little pieces. With this, you can easily save the inlays for a future project. Thanks for sharing!
Simon this is awesome. I bought the press n seal when Jenifer McGuire told about the family contection to the inventor of it as well as its various uses in crafting. I love the second card your did with the center pieces.
Fantastic technique! I have also had some of that Press & Seal for ages...and can think of many dies I have that will work in a similar way. Thanks so much!
These are all beautiful Simon. I love the first one and I think the white card (Thinking of you) would look amazing with the butterfly clear embossed too. They are truly all beautiful. Thanks for the ideas.
Just getting caught up on your videos since you joined my live stream fun today! Jenn and I are hooked and LIVE for your organization skills! Weeeeerk! I’ll be watching more vids for sure!!!
Very nice pieces and lots of ideas how to do them, would like to see you show the actual contain for the glue and gems etc…. Keep doing your beautiful works !!!!
There are times I’ve wanted to use press and seal to remove pieces for paper piecing but it was reversed and I didn’t think I could use a second piece without issues but I saw you do it and I think I can, too…thanks!
I loved all of the cards of course but my favorite was the hello card It was just really simple and I don’t know it was just my favorite :-). Great job on all of them!
Beautiful cards Simon! Love the ink blending, the colors go so well together 😀 it’s a tough decision, but I think the last card was my fav! Press n seal is an AMAZING tool for the craft room!! It’s a genius product!! I haven’t tried the tonic glaze yet but I sure want to. It really helps the die stand out. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your weekend 😍
Hello Simon - I have this butterfly set and adore it. So versatile. Passionate about hearts and butterflies. Love your color selection with the oxides 👍🌻 - craft on, Simon ☮️✌️(did u know that Jennifer McGuire’s husband invented press n’ seal)
Love them all, especially liked the press n seal technique sadly can’t get that product here in Australia 🇦🇺 eve so I would love to see more techniques using it, I plan to try using masking tape and see how that works. Also it was a real pleasure listening to you, you worked hard to slow down a bit for us, I appreciate that may have been unnatural for you as you seem like a “much to see, much to do” speedy kind of guy, so thanks 💕🐬
Good morning Simon!! I just watched your video yesterday and here I am again to rewatch, you know I have to order those products right??? Im pretty sure my pocketbook is not going to like you lol --great cards, love the Press n Seal idea, clever!!
I watched you vide and loved it. Waiting for a third one,. looks like your on the way up. I'll have to ask for your autograph. All 3 cards where awesome. I think i like the first one the best...all those colors ....great job. x
Nice! I like the 1st one, the rainbow embellishment w/embossing powder the best but I love the flowering mandala background you used on the other one. What is the tan ink you used on that? I didn't see it in your supply list.
Hi Simon! Love your videos. My fave card is the completely white front card with the 'outie' of the butterfly. All were great though. I've seen this technique before but somehow it seemed so easy watching you do it. Please link me to your hand vac. Thanks much.
Hi Donna! Thanks so much. :) Here is a link to the cordless vaccum that I use: amzn.to/2Jo2NxO It is a great investment to keep your craft area clean! :)
What kind of glue should I use for the tiny pieces? Also how do you pick up and glue small pieces like eyes (dots)? I’m super new to this and I’m getting frustrated with the small stuff. Thanks in advance!
Simon--thanks for a great video. My fav is the first one. Love the multiple coats of embossing powder on all the stacked layers. Separate question....where did you get that rack/stand behind you that holds your Nuvo drops????? It kind of looks like the drawers pull out? Love that!
Love all your butterfly cards, however I would place the butterfly at an angle to resemble it being in flight instead of dead. Don't mean to hurt your feelings but I've made lots of cards in my 30 years of card making and I think angles are best for anything that flies. I really like your colorful butterflies though.
Here is a link to the butterfly layering set of dies: ldli.co/e/me052m They are a bit pricey, but they are very versatile and can create some really awesome projects! :)

Man. What a cool guy. So much cleverness in this video. I must have said "wow" at least 30 times
I truly enjoy card making video. You make it so interesting. I love your voice and how you present things. I am so happy I found you. I will always look forward to more of your videos I have learned so much from you.
Ditto a hundred times!
Absolutely love your idea of putting the butterfly on purple tape to do the embossing!!!! GENIUS!!!!! Press and seal wow another great use of an everyday item!!!
Yes! Sometimes bringing kitchen items into crafting is a great idea. :)
All of the butterflies are beautiful. My favorite is the first one.
Thanks so much Deborah! :)
Can I say I love them all four cards? I love anything with butterflies and rainbows.
Most definitely! Thanks Carrie. :)
The color combinations here looks good all together. I like card #4. Pretty butterflies. 🙂
They're all very nice, but I especially liked the embossing powder over the layers. The plastic wrap and low tack tape are also techniques new to me so I learned something new. Thanks for sharing.
Super cool techniques and cards! Thank you Simon!
All three are gorgeous but I love the thanks one. You really are clever xxx
You are just AMAZING!!!! So young , talented and a Great instructor!!
Your ideas are great and quite helpful. Best to you. You have a GREAT future . Keep them coming !
Thank you.
Thank so much Simon. I thought long and hard about this but had to verify and your video was so easy to follow I did it first try. Great result!
Hi Simon, I just learned about Press N Seal yesterday and got a box from Amazon today. This was a great tutorial! Not sure I have a fav they were all gorgeous but probably the second one. So much fun! Thank you! 😃
All three of those cards were absolutely beautiful!!!
Simon, you are not good for my pocketbook! I always feel inspired and compelled to order products for my stash. TYFS
Your cards are beautiful and I truly can’t pick a favorite! Thanks, Simon!
Wow! I'm so impressed! My favorite was the rainbow one with the gems. Gorgeous! Thanks, Simon.
I loved all the techniques you showed today. I think card 3 was my favorite. Clean and simple, and beautiful.
I like the outline 'leftover' butterfly card the best but all are lovely!
Hi Simon, Oh boy, this is a hard one, I loved them all, but I think my favorite card was the “ Thinking of you” one. I love your videos; they’re so informative, and you’re so upbeat and positive. The entire experience is always enjoyable. Thanks so much, and I hope you have a great day
Thanks so much Jeanette! Your comment made me smile. :)
Great tips--thank you! I liked the butterfly with the tiny gems best but they are all amazing.
Simon, loved this great video. I like using press and seal! 👍🏻👍🏻
It's too hard to choose a favorite. All are really smashing! Great techniques and love how you get right to it without superfluous conversation about your aunt's cat did this or that and that's why we didn't hear from you sooner, etc, lol. You also explain what you are doing so well. You got a new subscriber out of me. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much! I know that time is valuable, so I just share what is most important. :)
Love the butterfly card!!
Thanks so much for these ideas. I think the time required for the second card is well worth the effort. WoW!!! Love this die, a must have.
Can't decide which I like best. All of them are amazing. I guess I'm gonna go with the triple layer, triple clear emboss butterfly you did first. Stunning! I want those Birchpress dies but the price point is so tough to justify when I have such a stash of single dies. Perhaps a birthday wish.
That butterfly is beautiful

Terrific cards. Hard to decide which one I like best. The oxides are great for coloring white cardstock. I keep a large swatch sheet by my desk to reference what the colors will look like when they dry.
The Press N Seal technique is awesome. I love inlaying dies, but it can be frustrating keeping track of all the little pieces. With this, you can easily save the inlays for a future project. Thanks for sharing!

Neat video.... thinking of you card was my fave! though the blue pink, yellow and orange butterfly was a close 2nd!

My fave was the one where you used all four butterfly layers.
So pretty!

Heel mooi gemaakt 👍
I love butterflies. Im saving up for this set. It's so cool.
Did you purchase the butterfly dies,if so from where?
@@charlessalisbury6083 I got them from Birch Press itself.
I liked the one with all the layers

Thanks so much! I am glad you appreciate the slower videos... they are so much fun to create. :)
Good morning Simon!! I just watched your video yesterday and here I am again to rewatch, you know I have to order those products right??? Im pretty sure my pocketbook is not going to like you lol --great cards, love the Press n Seal idea, clever!!
Oh I've had that seal stuff forever now I'm going to use it thank u
I watched you vide and loved it. Waiting for a third one,. looks like your on the way up. I'll have to ask for your autograph.
All 3 cards where awesome. I think i like the first one the best...all those colors ....great job. x
Loved the thank u one 💜

Thanks a bunch
What kind of glue should I use for the tiny pieces? Also how do you pick up and glue small pieces like eyes (dots)? I’m super new to this and I’m getting frustrated with the small stuff. Thanks in advance!
Simon--thanks for a great video. My fav is the first one. Love the multiple coats of embossing powder on all the stacked layers. Separate question....where did you get that rack/stand behind you that holds your Nuvo drops????? It kind of looks like the drawers pull out? Love that!
Here is a link to the acrylic display stand: ldli.co/e/7jk15y
They do not pull out. However, they hold and display the drops beautifully! :)
Inklipse thank you so much! I found your craft room tour video after I asked my question. Doh! This is super helpful. 😊👍
You are definitely a Jennifer McGuire fan. I can see the products she uses and the tips she gives...with slight changes.
Great tutorial!!!!
Love the birch press dies but a little to much for me. I think Jennifer mcguire's husband is the inventor of press and seal. Love your videos!
He did!
Fantastic 👍👍👍👍
Where did you get the set of butterfly dies,I live in the UK and can't seem to find them,ive found others but not as good as yours
What is the metal cutting plate you used? I did not see it on the supply list. Susan
Love all your butterfly cards, however I would place the butterfly at an angle to resemble it being in flight instead of dead. Don't mean to hurt your feelings but I've made lots of cards in my 30 years of card making and I think angles are best for anything that flies. I really like your colorful butterflies though.
All of them
Really great tutorial! Did you know that Jennifer McGuires husband created the Press and Seal film!
Pretty cool trivia!
Lauren Butler Wow, I didnt know that. I just love her...
Yes! They are a family full of creative geniuses! :)
Please bring back the Sparkler Butterfly Die Set for those of us that are new to card making “please please please 🥰🥰🥰
Why add the metal shim between the sandwich? Won’t it dent and distort?
There are replacement plates. It helps cut out detail and keep the pieces in place. :)
What kind of price are the set of dies?
Here is a link to the butterfly layering set of dies: ldli.co/e/me052m
They are a bit pricey, but they are very versatile and can create some really awesome projects! :)
Great !
