Hi friends! This video was a bit different than normal... let me know if you enjoyed it!
Leave me a comment letting me know which card is your favorite. :)

I like that you didn't cut out the mistake. Not only did you show how to fix it, but you showed that even a pro like yourself makes mistakes.

[agolliver]

I love that you added your friend's "help" at the end. I also love how you showed your mistake and how to salvage what you had and how to think about avoiding that problem in the future. Thanks for including your thought process.

[louisebrislane]

I loved the two happy accidents at the end, they were incredible! It is often the 'what will I do with my leftovers' that turn out so great & the best part is that you haven't wasted any paste!!

[wendihaikugrl]

Thanks for not cutting out the “mistake” and for using up all of the excess paste at the end. That’s real crafting!!! 🌻TYFS!

[SparkleyTeaRex]

Your best vid yet in my opinion. I have been making mistakes with texture paste so I wasted materials. I loved that you showed your errors and explained the why of them and how to fix them. You taught rather than just showing. We can watch tons of demo’s or vids but when we try the technique it’s not the same results. It’s frustrating. There is usually a learning curve when using a new technique but I rather it be a short, fast curve. I have watched a lot of texture paste vids because I wasn’t sure I wanted to go that way. Your products swayed me and now I will enjoy the process of creating more. I wish I had known your tip not to use texture paste on a sticky mat before I learned the hard way.


I appreciated the education also because 6 of my grandkids, 6-14 yrs, saw my finished pile and had to try. Next session they will also learn indirectly from you. They love your Lunar paste. One of the 9 yr olds asked to make a card for her Mom and she went right to lunar paste. I was so pleased and proud of how well she did without direction. Her Mom loved the Lunar paste and asked about it.

You made the vid fun. You showed us a bit of who you are and how your own process works. This felt more like when I attend a local class. Loved the call. How fun was that!

Well done all around! Now I have to leave a like and I need to check my colors because there are requests for more.
Grace and peace to you and your family.

I love the last stencil that you did with the leftovers. I love that you fussy cut your sentiments. It's been a game changer for me. Thanks Simon.

I love that not only did you not cut out the mistake, you also just bleeped and didn't cut out your reaction. I love this industry but it can feel a little plastic to me at times. It SUCKS to ruin something--especially on camera. Anyone who is doing this and NOT cussing through some of it... are the even really doing it?? 😁 Love this video!

[patriciafoster]

❤ I have watched you for 11 years and have enjoyed watching you grow up!!! You are an excellent instructor!!!❤

[lindy]

Believe it or not, the cleanup one is my favorite! I love quick and simple, and that's gorgeous!

[oonaanderson]

Simon, this is one of my favorite videos of yours!!!! You let more of the "fun" side of card making/being human show through!!! I love that you ask your friends for opinions!!! (I think we all may...I know I do!!!) And, you let your "mistake" come through also!!!! Still turned out to be stunning!!!! But my favorite card was the "clean up" on the black cardstock!!!!

[kathrynmonroe]

The clean up flowers really came together when you added the center and the sentiment. And, of course, the deco one was terrific. Thanks for showing both the boo-boos and the fixes!

[joycedurham]

Simon, I bought 4 different colors of Astro paste and 3of them were great. My jar of crown me doesn’t have any sparkle. Tried to mix it more and more 4 times, still not one sparkle. Looking at the exterior of the jar it looks like there is sparkle in the jar, but not one is in the paste.
I just wanted to let you know there is a problem with that color.
I have all of the other pastes and love them all. Also enjoy watching your videos. You seem like such a nice guy and I’m so glad you have such great success.

[lindabittinger]

I like the last one the best because it was not so busy. Thank you for all the tips!

[patriciawilson]

It's very hard to pick one project that I liked better. I was amazed at all you could do with the pastes and thanks for sharing all those ideas.

[nicolecole]

Thank you for showing your mistake and how to fix it. I always wonder how you can make such great cards and never make a mistake. Thank you for showing your human side.

[lindagronlund]

Thank you for sharing your mistake on the Astro Paste. I am the queen of mistakes while learning to make cards. Also watching your videos I do learn a lot. Thank you for all your inspiration ❤

[cordeliaalderman]

I love to see you make the mistakes so I don't have to, lol. That deco diamonds stencil is one of my favorites; I love the Astro Paste on that card front.

[kimberlyagreene]

Thank you for sharing your fail & add in of suggestions to help. I've had these issues & was wondering what I was doing wrong?! I appreciate that you are detailed when explaing your techniques! Thank you!

[dlr]

I really like your “clean up” cards! Nothing wasted, and so pretty!
