 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. So in this week's What Did I Get? I have been to Hobby Craft, I have brought some stuff from Craft Stash, I visited a craft there, a couple of charity shops and then I had a surprise gift from my parents which I will share with you in a moment. This lady makes these absolutely beautiful pin cushions. So there's already a few little pins in there, she's got handmade with Love in the Middle, tiny little buttons there with the bumble bee on again, you can just see it there. Really nice, so well made and then you know she's put the string through to create that really nice flower shape like the petals and it's handmade by Busby's. So I will show the card here, so this is Busby's, Busby's Stories, Children's Books and Handmade Gifts, Marie Robinson and she writes books as well which I thought was really nice. So her Etsy store, because she did say yeah visit Etsy for craft items at Busby's. So I'll share the link, I love the fabric she chooses so yeah and I just, I like things that can be displayed and I love this one particularly because the way the bird was there you could really see it and that lovely bloom there with the flowers so that was something I purchased. So I really like that and I like to support small businesses and things like that so yeah it was really nice. So then I purchased this from Craft Stash, this is by the Craft Consultium, it's their newest collection so you've got the Herbarium, you've got the Riverbank and you've got something Meadow, again I'll have all the links on my blog and those of you that have already seen my pop-up box card that I shared this week, I've got the links to all of the collections over on my blog so you can always look at that as well. It's absolutely beautiful, if you haven't heard of the Craft Consultium go and check them out because they do absolutely beautiful luxury premium of course paper pads and accessories. So I picked up, this I brought as a bundle, it worked out cheaper so I got the 12x12, two stamp sets and three accessories in a bundle but I got the stamps there, again I used these recently in that card that I shared, beautiful card and I'll link that one up here actually so you can just click on that and then these are all your different herb leaves and then these are all metal embellishments and they are heavy, there's a real nice weight to them, they're like an antique gold color or brass, bronze whatever you want to call it, little watering cans, your little scissors and those little trowels there, beautiful. I'm not going to go through all of the papers, I'll just go through some of them, they're coated, they're absolutely gorgeous, you know when you sit there stroking papers again, I know I always do it but oh just love them and I like that they, I shared this in the video but I like that they make the use of the front page so you can fussy cut all these and you've got all those lovely little kind of signs there with the different herbs and things so yeah I'm really enjoying this so far. Then I popped into hobby craft and they had a sale on, there wasn't a great deal of stuff but whenever the thickers they go into sale I always grab some because I find them quite expensive to be honest, I don't tend to buy them when they're full price, so I've had my eye on these happy birthday ones for a while and when I went in they were £2 each so I grabbed two packs because I think usually they were £4 each so these are just going to get used so often and they're just one of those ones that I know I'll pull out and they go with a lot of my layouts so double-sided, happy birthday, party, hooray, wishes, surprise, just really like them, love the bunting, that look nice on cards as well and even you know these ones so I've got two of that one and this is called Hurrah, okay if anybody's interested then that one I really like it's just got like the rainbow stripes going through that's called Prismatic, again double-sided, these ones here it's like bubblegum pink this is called Shoebox and again double-sided, really nice tall but thin ones I like those and then this one here I absolutely love this it's called Grayson, I'm working on a baby mini album at the moment and this is just going to finish it off perfectly so I had seen it again before it was full price at that point I wasn't really starting the project but now I am I went in there and it was reduced so perfect I just love these look snuggle time, my buddy, little dude and then on the back you've got Huggable and then I love the giggles as well I think that's really cute and then the numbers so that's those then I popped into a shop called Tiger or Flying Tiger I think it is and this is just a very large post-it note thing let me open it or as it should be said because it obviously isn't done by the same company these are sticky memos but I just thought they were really handy so they're going to go on a big bulldog clip that I've got but I just need sometimes it's nice to just have a big scribble pad I used to have a massive one that was actually covering my desk but I just didn't like it I prefer my mat so this was quite nice and then obviously you've got the post-it part there with the sticky bit even at the top and that's good for using these as well when you're doing any masking so stamping and masking so I just picked that up I think it was a pound two pounds something like that wasn't much and then I popped into a charity shop and I did share this over on my Facebook page so this is maybe Mabel Lucy Atwell I don't know if anybody of you have heard from her she has been going for decades an absolutely amazing illustrator and this is a kit using her images and it's just adorable these are just look at these oh my gosh they are just so cute apparently these illustrations were based on her own children or her own daughter I think it was but look and it's all been stuck down there you see all the levels all the layers to it and look at this oh I absolutely love doing these so I'm going to be making some I've got a few projects in mind actually for this something a little bit different which I'll be sharing in due course look at that one oh then you've got the gorgeous little girl and little boy there again I've already stuck them down lifted them up so you could have them singly on their own but look how cute they look when they're just kissing and then the idea is is that you would stick them on to their kind of their background there so now they've got the green and they'll see she's that's no different actually if you pop that over there there is no difference to that one this one had already stuck down so there's the little girl skipping lovely you got these that you can cut out and then this is the other page here so I love the two little girls whispering they're so cute and then like I said those ones if you want to add them to their scene you can so apologies with this one if anybody's like oh my god I want it because this is from 2011 I paid a pound for this in a charity shop you get how many do you get you get two of each so these two more pages still they just fall out and they're all numbered again just like the normal decoupage so yeah I will try and find any links but it's it was produced through ktsudesigns.com Katie Katie Sue still going now but this is from 2011 made in the UK and this is obviously yeah the Lucy Atwell designs so yeah I'll try and have a look for you see if I can find it if anybody is interested but it is gorgeous absolutely love this one and then my truly awesome parents surprised me with the Cricut Explore Air 2 yeah overwhelmed well I was just absolutely yeah speechless so thank you so much to my awesome parents for this I have already been playing with it and I've started to you know get to grips with the software it's very easy straightforward and I've already started you know putting some things together and in due course I'm not rushing this I will share some tutorials with some cards that I've made using this amazing machine so yeah let me know in the comments below if you have one I did share this already over on my Facebook page and lots of people you know said that they've got theirs and they absolutely love it you know there I know the maker is out there as well but I have no real interest in cutting metal and wood and things like that it's just not something if I end up doing all that then I won't do my paper crafting and that's my passion that's what I love so this does just what I need I have researched this enough to know that this gives me what I want and I'm just so happy and very very very thankful and humbled that my parents got me this I think to be honest they were probably sick of me going on deciding whether or not you know to get it or whatever so yeah look at it it's just oh and I got the mint green as well which I absolutely love so yeah thanks mum and dad let me know what you think let me know what you would like to see and all that kind of stuff and then we can take it from there okay so that is everything there I'm just about squeezing because this is large it actually got it's got its own home now it's got its own kind of area because it's got the wi-fi so I'm able to you know use my laptop and do everything at my desk and then this will do its thing over on the other side of the room so yeah love it oh my gosh so there we go so let me know what you think as always I will share as many links as I can below and I will be back tomorrow with another tutorial thanks for watching bye
