What alternative can we use for heat gun

Love how fast you are in speaking and doing, never boring right to the point!

Absolutely love the purple tape hack, and the heating from the back hack! Never would have thought of those!

The white gel pen was a great tip!!!Using a magnet to hold down a die cut while the glue dries is awesome.

I LOVE how you held down the die cut after gluing with the magnets! I usually just find something heavy to set on it but this is a great hack!!

Great hacks, Simon, thanks. Instead of squeezing the paper when you apply the heat, hold the word by putting the tweezers inside the loop of one of the letters and squeeze the tweezers just till the letter tightens up and will hold, then heat away. It does work.

I liked the embossing on stencils, filling in missed embossing with gel pens & heating from the back of the card. Thanks, Simon. 😃

I loved how you handled the glitter going all over. You should such calm under pressure - as you stated you are not a fan of glitter. The several layers of embossing powder were great. The purple tape as a handle too.

I loved the hack where you added the glitter and green. I hadn't seen or heard of it before. Thanks so much for sharing all these tips.

Very helpful and concise tutorial! I love the idea of embossing over and over to get the thick look.

Love the embossing hacks and your sense of humor.

You just kind of mentioned it in passing, but I like the idea of embossing the top of the embossing powder lid so you have an example. I’ve never thought of doing that.

Yes! That is SOOOO helpful to see the true color. :)

Thanks for the ideas, Simon! I liked the idea of using several layers of embossing powder over words to make them thicker. Your card turned out great!

Adorable card, Simon! My fav hack was sprinkling the different colored powders to create a rad background. TFS!✨👍🏾

Great ideas, I love how you put them all together into that beautiful card. Thanks

Love this video. I’m impressed with what you did with the “thanks “ & making the flower pot matte!!!

Embossing from the back was new for me. Thank you

Great hacks Simon! Thanks so much for sharing your time and creativity!!!

Love how u embedded the glitter with the embossing ink! 😍

Never thought to use Perfect medium, have lots of so now I can give it another use, thanks!

Yay!! Awesome hacks, love all of them, and the products you used! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the tips, love the idea of dulling the embossed item.

Wow, had no idea you could make more layers of embossing! Gotta try that!! Awesome!!!!❤❤

Great ideas with your card making hacks.Thanks for sharing Simon💕

Great hack to emboss from the back!! Can't wait to try that, thanks for another great video.

Great ideas, Simon! I, too, like to begin my heating on the back of my project. Not only does it help the embossing powder to stay put, but it helps with warping on the cardstock. TFS!

Thank you, Simon!

Can’t wait to try heating from the back on black! Makes sense 😉 I love the thanks with lots of layers of embossing powder...I’ll be trying that one too! Thanks for the tips!

Hey Simon, I always enjoy your videos, thanks for the hacks, you're doing a fantastic job.

Thanks Simon! I am sure I’ll be using some of these hacks!

Super fun video with some great tips. Thanks Simon :)

I really liked the embossing on the die cut!

Nice card. Thanks for all the tips.

Nice job Simon! I enjoyed all the ideas

Really appreciated the tips on thickening a word when embossing! Thanks!

Thanks Simon, love watching all your Life Hacks!!

Great video! My favorite was the demonstration of the difference between heating from the back of the card vs. the front. I've heard about doing that to prevent warping the paper, but this really showed how sharp it makes the image. Thank you Simon for another great video!

Thanks Kristie! I love that one too. :)

I rarely make cards but I am glad I watched your video tonight. I am going to us the tip where you did 'thanks', I can use that on a scrapbook page.

Loved this video (I love all of your videos). I think you are a gifted young man. I watched it with my 13 year old granddaughter and she oooh'd and aaah'd throughout it. Thanks for the multiple embossing hack. What a great idea.

You are absolutely delightful Simon! I'm so happy to have discovered you on KZread! Thanks for your enthusiasm & fun ideas & that brilliant SMILE! Youve made me smile & feel happy again, and that is such a gift. I hope you are well & life is good! Hugs from San Francisco! 💕xoxo

I liked where you added glitter and a second colored embossing powder! Very cool! I also liked the heating from the back tip! 😀 Thanks for sharing your hacks with us!

For those in the UK/EU, Simon's products are available over here in the UK, so no need to pay heavy shipping, and custom's fees. As there are a few retailers selling them, do a google search to find the one that suits you best. Simon, my favourite hack, was using a box when using the glitter spray! Hehe! But seriously, the one using masking tape was helpful for me, as I knew about the others. TFS. Julia, from the UK.

Ooooh Thanks for sharing that with everyone... super helpful! :)

Thanks for sharing these great tips and a beautiful project!

Simon, you are absolutely amazing!

You're always fun, Simon

Never thought to emboss the same piece more than once! Great tip!

Thank you for this great video.

The purple tape was a great idea! I usually use the tweezers hack so not to burn my fingers. Just new with embossing. Still experimenting and filming my projects so I can remember my own mistakes and experiences. I just realized now being new in youtube how hard it is what you do. Keep up the good work!

One tip I'd like to add is when embossing light colours on darker cardstock use an alcohol marker to cover up any stray specks.....the specks are still glossy but not really noticeable.

Excellent tips...thank you!

Dear simon Thank you. I liked making the embelishment the most and the tip on heating from behind. Thank you and blessings always.

Thank you for all the tips! 😀

thank goodness you are interesting and educational to listen to, unlike many others. Great tips.

My fav.....heat from the back. Thank you for sharing

What great tips! Thanks so much.

Love the embossing! And I love the white embossing powder on black cardstock have to try that!

Thanks for the tip on embossing from the back! Great hack!!

Great tips, as usual! You're awesome ❗❗

Thank you Simon all the hacks were very useful to me. WELL DONE

Hi Simon. TFS. You are an inspration. You are very talented and a OMG so funny :-) Big Hugs from Karina Møller from Denmark :-)

Thanks so much for sharing these great hacks Simon!

My favorite hack was using the gel pen and heat setting from behind. Now I know why my embossing is so messy. Love your tips and videos. Been following your channel for a while. I was very happy to hear about your own line with Ranger. Hope to find your products easily available in Europe.

Love your clips this was great on embossing as not very practiced yet with embossing so thankyou

Enjoy all of your videos

Great video! Your "life hacks" will help me address multiple problems I've been having as a heat embossing newbie. (I'll be buying the eraser ASAP.) Many thanks!

Great job, Simon! :)

Thanks appreciate all the information!

I love seeing these, (and would like to many more please) of these hacks and also some basic techniques for card making cause I’m new to this. I love watching you, but please show us some basic techniques for us newbies, please, please 😊

Loved it, and learned a lot!

Hi Simon! Learned a lot today! Thanks!

Beautiful card. I liked the swiffer idea for the glitter. I use a lint roller to help get the glitter picked ul

Super embossing card hacks Simon!!! Thanks so much! I also liked the " little gremlin" who popped in, too😁

Your videos are PERFECT!!!!

Great tips hon, thank you!

Dear Simon Thank u so much.i was wondering how to use stamps in embossing and you showed it.i like the embellishment hack too.blessings

Excellent Tips!

Great tips!!

I use an old griddle if I know I'll be heating from the back. I can put on several layers or glitter and it melts instantly with no mess- also you can apply multiple colors of embossing powders for a fun look, no need for embossing ink. Also, It's great to impress a stamp design into while it's very warm. 17:48

Great job.

I agree. Lovely card!

1st time watching you...on KZread from Boise Idaho...very informative...thanks for sharing!

If your embossing ink isn't sticky enough, add glycerine to the pad. That's all it is anyways. No need to buy anything other than the glycerin that will last you for, forever. Get large bottles for less than retail stores sell 5 Oz on Amazon.

You are wonderful!....and the music is awesome. Great taste

Thank you for sharing your videos

Great video as always, loved the tip about using a white gel pen on your heat embossing if needed. Thank you for sharing 😊

I so enjoy watching your shows. I learn so much every time. Can't get your products in South Africa yet.

Like the heating from the back tip

Your card is lovely! Thanks again for another enjoyable video! Liz...

I wondered if the glitter was going to make a mess...lol. Great hacks, Simon!

Thank you great tips
