 Hi everybody, it's Sally from Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. This week I've got a few things to show you, one of them being my Caterpillar Crop, which I actually got two weeks ago and I forgot to share it last week. So I did share this over on my Facebook page and it was actually really interesting because I've been looking at these for probably the last year, just been a bit unsure really whether to go for it or not. It's really really mixed reviews and when I decided to take the leap and get it it was on offer on creating craft and I thought yeah I'm going to get it mainly because it said lifetime guarantee on the blade which for me is a big thing because I don't want to have to keep replacing them and since moving from trimmers to guillotine, although they call this a trimmer, it's a rotary blade. I haven't had to buy blades because I use the Tim Holtz guillotine, you see that in a lot of my tutorials, the mini one or I've also got the Tonic, the larger size one and they're both guillotines and I love them but I do have a thing about knives and sharp blades and things like that, it's just a personal thing, I always get really really kind of nervous with them. So that was one of the things for me, the reason why I got this because you can't cut yourself. So it's child friendly, it's really good, the blade is hidden underneath here so and it's self-sharpened so every time you cut it's self-sharpened so and I've been using it, I've been cutting a lot of paper recently, the day I got it I cut over 100 pieces because I'm actually working on a big project and it was been brilliant and when people were commenting on Facebook people were saying they'd had this for years and they love it and other people were saying nope don't like it at all, didn't like it and I you know they sold it and things like that so it's been really interesting. I personally I'm really enjoying this so you have the extendable blade arm there sorry so it extends to 18 inches and it is 17, 18, 19 inches deep, you've also got centimeters here but also there's a few people I think I could be completely wrong that maybe I don't know you could be using it slightly wrong because this moves ever so slightly so it's almost like a lock so if it's loose this won't run this will kind of like wobble now that's okay because they say that you push it against the metal and you cut however if you just twist this and it locks in that doesn't move it's not wobbling now it stays straight and I don't know if that maybe is where people maybe because some people said it didn't cut straight I've certainly not seen that so you just get a really nice cut and again I get the same with my Tim Holtz guillotine I can cut very very thin strips I can do this with my guillotine so you know do I think it's any better than the Tim Holtz no I think it cuts the same but for me it's much safer so that was my reasoning for getting this more than anything was the safety but look you get all these tiny little spirals and I can get that with the Tim Holtz guillotine if any of you are wondering she keeps saying Tim Holtz what's she on about I'm on about this one this is the mini and I still do like it but oh it just scares me so it's down to personal preference at the end of the day so yeah it's entirely up to you at the end of the day also this does have a light however it only works if you've got thinner and lighter paper but the idea is is that you can see through underneath here so can you see I can still see that metal running there whereas but if I put probably going to show it a bit better there go so you can see there so that's it's great if you've got a lighter card stock but if you're using if you use dark you don't see it at all that's just the shadow from the bar you can't see that light at all so is it something I'm going to use no probably not I work quite well without there being a light it takes for AA such a standard batteries but I like it it's it's pretty lightweight it's you know it's smaller as well they do do the cutter pillar pro which is the larger surface one and I think that comes up at because this is 9 oh 18 I think that comes out as 16 and it's got a draw and all other bits and pieces on it so yeah if you are interested in you are thinking actually yeah you want something a bit safer than yes I definitely would you know recommend this one I really like it but I'm glad I've got it but at the end of the day these things are all down to personal preference there are great trimmers out there I just don't want to have to keep paying out for blades and the fact that this is now lifetime guarantee as long as none of this breaks it's going to last me forever so yeah it was a investment I paid 58 pound for this so it was a bit more than obviously you would normally pay out but when you think my fiskers replacement blades are five pound and I've probably replaced them five six times it's soon going to add up so I don't need to worry about that anymore although I do still use trim is if I'm cutting within card because these are hard to line up and you don't really have a grid and stuff to work with so yes the more and more you do papercraft you'll probably find that you need a few things so I've got my mini I've got this one and I do still have a trimmer for when I'm making those kind of cards or projects where I need to cut within the card um then they're always handy for that but yes so this was what I got a couple of weeks ago but I've got to share it last week then I received a order from Arteza so I do still collaborate with them I haven't I do use their product in many of my tutorials but I haven't done like a review for a while and um I thought I would just kind of use the product I got for the minute because I've got the blender markers which I've been using in many tutorials and I'm really enjoying those and I've got my water brush pens as well and there will be a series coming up it won't be out yet it's going to come at the end of the month so that'll make more sense when that happens but this is what I got so I have these here these are the water brushes now I did say to Tanya at Arteza bless her um either or because I think they're exactly the same I don't see any difference with them everything on the back's the same the only difference obviously is the color but in terms of the barrel and the brush sizes everything is is exactly the same these are just completely different packaging and pens in that sense but what I'm trying to get across sorry is the fact that you get times three of the small brushes and then times three of these wider sorry you get times three of these thin brushes and then you get times three of these more chiseled style and it's the same on that one there the back of the packaging's exactly the same my looks online is all the same but the prices do vary so I really can't see a difference I will find out from Arteza if there is let me open up here let's just get straight in there and just have a quick little look and I'm going to go with the real why this one's first so here's this one here and this one here they're exactly the same even the barrel is the same height everything is the same apart from this has got this push bit here but that says push there but it's just straight onto the barrel whereas this has got like this little case rubber case around everything's the same I think one of them's an older style and then they've gone into a new one maybe this is older and now they've gone with this more branding one because if you now have no packaging you wouldn't know that that's Arteza there is nothing on there at all so if you're someone who likes branding then go for those ones but in terms of how they work I don't think there's any difference or whatsoever so again the reason I went for them is because of these larger more obscure shaped brushes well they're they're not obscure at all they're just in a in a water barrel as opposed to on a normal you know paintbrush so yeah that's that one I'm just making sure I get the right lids back on and don't really want to break those bristles they're not the easiest to get in let's just I guess once they're wet and they've been used then that will change them a little slightly then you have that one which is again the same yeah look so they're thicker on the side there's there's literally no difference guys so because I think that's why I kept not putting them off but just I was meaning to ask and I think Tanja gets so many emails from people she didn't still quite answer what I was asking in terms of what is the difference and I honestly don't think there is guys I think it's just a matter of them just rebranding and I think these are possibly the newer ones and this was the older ones so yeah so I've got them so I've got a ton of water brushes because I also have their other ones which are the these ones and these get really I use these a lot I really like them they're stained they're used and that's what it's all about for me but these are thinner so these are different again to some of these so I will be using these and when I do the reviews in more detail I will talk about them a little bit more but yeah I've got plenty of water brushes to keep me going because of the water brushes I well actually I ordered when I chose the gouache first and then chose the brushes as well just because I thought I could try them with it so these are the gouache which is it's well a lot of people say it's in between watercolor and acrylic paint it is a very very opaque watercolor so for me who likes watercoloring gouache has been something that I have looked at I've you know watched many many tutorials of people using them and it's just something I've just never really got around to using myself so I thought you know what I'm going to and I'm going to start doing some proper painting again and that's why I wanted to get these so I did ask for the 60 color so you get tons I could take them all out one two three four five six seven eight nine ten trays so yeah I thought well why not I don't have any let's get them to go and be global the packaging that's one thing I would say as well as our taser always always package wonderfully these arrived you know in great condition because they do look after them but it's just such a nice box and I love that you just have again at a glance all of your colors and then I saw these and I thought okay what is this so I think they are called twi markers because they are twin nib so it could be twi but twi doesn't seem to make any sense but it's 100 twi or twi I'm going with twi 100 twi markers let me know what you think do you think it's twi for twin twin twi or do you think it's twi but I think it's twi so you get 100 and I was quite interested by them so it's 100 unique colors water-based ink blendable compact ideal for water techniques and journaling you think of a alcohol marker it's that kind of thing but they're water-based so yeah I'm looking forward to using them there's again a huge variety of colors let me just take these out you get one two three four five trays again I'm going to go and do reviews on these so that will be more detail for you I'm not going to go into that now I'm just really just showing you what I've got but coloring is something I do a lot off-camera so I will be sharing reviews on these and I will be doing more stuff using my coloring in tutorials because many of you do ask and because I got the wash I did say to Tanya what paper would you recommend I do have watercolor paper and she said that would be great so I already have the Arteza watercolor paper but she did also recommend this so this is the mixed media pad you get two in the pack so these are huge these are a three size 60 sheets 180 gsm and the acid oh i can get that out an acid-free spiral bound ideal for wet and dry media so yeah they should work well with the gouache and obviously my other you know mediums as well so yeah I think it's good they're perforated so you can obviously take your artwork out but yeah they are larger than I would use I'm probably I'm more of an A4 size girl but hey you can cut them down and you get absolutely tons so yeah thank you Arteza and all of the kind of I guess review videos will be on their way and then lastly I mentioned last week that I wanted to get this magazine because it works really nicely with the papercraft essentials magazine where I got the lovely autumnal leaf and the embossing folder and I showed you the card at the end where they combined the two magazines because they're like sisters for each other so this is creative stamping magazine this is issue 74 there's a few reasons why I wanted this firstly it was because it was designed by hunkie dory for the lover stamps and I do love the for lover stamps range I just think they do lovely images and they're always lovely to color so I will use these with my paints probably that I've received but I loved it it was this one here that I really wanted I don't have anything like this don't have pumpkins I don't have a sunflower and just yeah really really lovely A4 set of stamps there hello autumn and this is the magazine here so as always you get lots of inspiration love the card on the front there with this stamp and then they've used the poppies there so this one to build up and they've used these it just looks really really nice so and on the back there's all the inspiration there using those stamps so yeah as always I will link it below I'll link the papercraft essentials one as well and yeah I'm going to go and have a cup of tea and read through that one so there may be another bit added on to this now because I'm waiting on an order from craft stash of the craft work cards bargains that I ordered and I did share that on Facebook and I know lots of you went and purchased as well because they had 80% off so there was some real yeah great bargains to be had and some happy mail should be coming very soon as well so if that all arrives before I edit and get this one up then I will add it in otherwise that's everything for this week okay so it's another day and I have received my craft stash order which I did mention about if I get it then I will add it into this week so craft stash on last yeah be last week by the time this goes up beginning of last week put up at 80% up to 80% off everything um within their craft work cards range which I've had quite a lot of things from already and I really do like their product so I went over there and these were bargains I put a thing on my Facebook page and I know loads of other loads more of you have been able to grab some of these bargains and unfortunately I know some of you missed out so I do apologize because I know that by the time this goes up these things are probably sold out I know that some of these bits already are but the other bits you may be lucky they may even have more stuff coming in I'm not sure but I picked up let me take the packaging off because there's a lot of glare okay so I picked up these stamp sets this one is best day ever I don't have a lot of wedding related stamps and sometimes they get asked to do commissions for wedding cards and things and I find myself using the same real basic ones so I've just picked these ones up they're really nice and they've got a beautiful font you just got bride and groom just married golden ruby silver diamond which I thought were great and then save the day wedding so they're perfect for anniversaries engagements and weddings so I just thought that was a handy one to have and these were that one was £3.40 and then I got this one here I do have a similar one I'd say similar it has the you in a different font but all the sub kind of titles or words don't have that black block around it it's just the word so they are slightly different and between the two now I should have quite a nice mix but you basically just you know thank you for everything you do thank you happy birthday to you you get it so I just thought that was quite a nice one yeah 298 and then I picked up these what I've been looking for a nice woodland background one for again for Christmas projects and things that I've got ideas for so this was the winter woodland and this one was £2.50 and then this one here is the embroidery and again I thought it's quite nice for like a knitted jumper and again that kind of Christmas theme and this one was £2.50 again and then these ones which I was so glad I managed to get because I thought they were going to go well they they've gone now but these were 5.25 but they're 80% off I think they were £15 something not only are they rose gold which is just brilliant you have to use your pliers there just to take them apart but you get obviously the big circle there and then these ones but when it cuts in it gives you that scalloped edge within the cardstock because usually you lose that or it's on the outside of the circle this one is on the inside I have one die like that but it's a small one and I don't really get to use it but it's got a lovely cross detail I mean you can see the detail a lot better there what you get and it also cuts into your paper so if you haven't got that outer frame and you just use this frame here in the middle of say a six by six card you will just have all of that piece here cut away and you'll have it it's going to be brilliant for shaker cards it'll give it a really nice finish so I will definitely use it for a shaker card and I'll share that in a tutorial because I know quite a few of you have managed to get this one so yeah hopefully maybe they might bring it out again or something similar or like I said they might bring in some more sail pieces so do keep an eye out I will share the links below then I just got some more of the dorm bibi premium glue I do like this one it's very very similar to the art glitter glue and you get the precision nib I did find these precision nibs to be smaller than the glitter up than the art glitter glue so only by a little bit but yeah if you're someone that still wants to even thinner again then these ones are that you just got to make sure that you've got a stainless steel pin so that they don't get clogged up so I've got those two again like I said I do like those ones and then I thought I would try the kalal book binding I have the normal kalal the all-purpose which you see me use all the time and I adore it it's my favorite glue but I thought I would try the book binding as well because whenever I see on forums someone asks the question what's the best glue this one gets mentioned a lot so I thought I would give it a go as well so yeah those are the purchases from crossdash and also I picked up some bits from the charity shop and I have never ever seen these now I don't know if these are old or if they're new but just not available in the UK I've never seen them before these are ranger and they're called big and juicy hand made five color rainbow raised felt paint so this one obviously I don't know if it's been handmade someone's done like you do it yourself it was plain and then it says gum drop this one is black this one is red and this is green they're 199 and they are really really juicy and full of color so I was that's why I'm a bit unsure like are these old and someone's just never used them I can't see any date on the back so you can see there it's by ranger made in the USA and they're huge sorry I've probably haven't said some of you might be thinking well what are they sound they're ink pads but look how big they are and they are full of color so they're felt now I know I've got lots of ink pads but these are quite you know good colors red and the is Christmas green as well and black that's just gonna be brilliant I need to find out what black it is you know and whether I can use it with alcohol markers or whether I can use it with my watercolors but yeah I mean there's minimal use you can tell that there is but it's just yeah so four of these big and juicy so please anybody that has these let me know whether are they any good I mean I have I've done a couple of quick stamping but I mean I can see all of the color in that there's just so much color in them and they're still quite heavy as well non-toxic but it tells me very very little so these were $1.99 each so there was only these four I thought you know I'm gonna grab them because I have a really nice Christmas green which is by another really old one but yeah I'll be intrigued to see what this one's like there's a little bit of glitter on it so someone's obviously had some glitter out with this one as well but yeah so let me know if you have these and hopefully they are good and if they are why don't more companies do ink pads this size because they're brilliant they don't stack so they're not obviously yeah they're not the easiest to store and they are quite bulky but yeah I just thought it was quite fun and yeah I thought I'd have them and then I picked up this now I used to have this stuff I don't know what it's called but I purchased some from Stamping Up and again it's very very thin it's going to be great for Christmas projects but really what I want it for is you just get quite a bit I mean there's tons on this this was a pound for this roll of it or spool of it or whatever you call these and you just kind of wrap it around and then if I grab some scissors and kind of like take it off like so and then you put it behind your you put it on top of your card when it's all finished and then stick your sentiment over the top and you have all this lovely sparkly like tinsel kind of thing that's what it reminds me of you but when you wrap it together and you can kind of twist it you get like a nice little kind of accent a little bit of decoration and I really like it so you can make little tassels like I said it's very very fine and yeah it was a pound and I saw it I thought oh silver that's perfect because yeah you can see it's so thick and you can see how thin it is there's absolutely tons on this so I thought that was a good little find and then a lovely crafty friend called Kimmy she had put together a really nice friend mail for me and it arrived today we had a little nightmare with the customs obviously coming from the US yes that's all I'm going to say Kimmy it was wasn't it it was just a little bit of a pain anyway the parcel has arrived and it was just wonderful so it caught me off guard it made me cry Kimmy wrote a lovely letter I'm not going to read that out I'm just going to keep that private but I will show you the wonderful gifts that she has sent me so I have got this here let me take the packaging off so this is called dress my craft I've never heard of it it says here it's made in India dress my craft and it's from New Delhi so yeah it's really nice to kind of find something that you don't have now it doesn't say the weight of the card stock on here but honestly this card is so thick I reckon it's about 250 it is proper thick card stock it's like that card from Liddle it's beautiful now I love hydrangeas and there's very similar colors forming in the garden of these same flowers and just look I'm going to make a gift bag straight away with these just look at these gorgeous prints isn't that stunning it's absolutely beautiful you get two of each design single sided so again these are going to be perfect for gift bags but look they've got a slight kind of shine on them that'd be a lovely scrapbook layout then you have look at that oh my god I don't know whether I prefer that one or the other one actually just beautiful absolutely stunning you got this one here which is almost like a tile you got this one here which has a lovely it's almost like a romantic it's almost like a love letter it was trying to read parts of it and it's just really sweet so that's that one you get another one there which again would be nice for a scrapbook layout you get this pretty one another one there love it and then that's another script but with like the sky in the background another nice kind of scrapbook layout there and then you finish with this one which would be great because you can cut right along there and then just kind of fussy cut or cut that strip out and you can pop it on you know your cards and stuff it's going to be really nice so absolutely adored that one and to go with that I've got the small six by six so with this one it's the same images but you get these extra sheets here with like nice little bits to cut out so that'd be great for the scrapbook pages but then yeah it's just it's just smaller and I love it it's going to look so cute on cards look really is gorgeous so then I pulled this one out of the box and I must admit a little squeal come out because it is my perfect Christmas colors theme it's just that vintage look I just absolutely love it photo play is also really nice I've got the Disney kind of themed one which I used for a Disney themed scrapbook layout and I did do a video for that one they just have absolutely gorgeous gorgeous prints that's an overview there but what I love about them is you get this 12 by 12 sheet of stickers look at them oh it's just so good look at the washing line with Santa's clothes and you got the socks got the merry Christmas font you got the tags there there's just so much to this and then you get 12 sheets they're double-sided and look you get these as well which I always love great for tags I think I made a mini album with the small ones from a echo park one look at these the mini Santa I love the backs because you get really nice piece of look so you can use you don't have to I can use that side for that one and then that make a nice gift bag look at that one there so you can cut all those down or just keep it as a whole sheet and you get that lovely print there so again you get two of them then I've got the polka dot with this one again really really nice look at those big tags great for just putting them on a card as well gonna be really nice for doing Christmas mini albums because I've got my mini albums from last year which I think again I used a similar might have been simple stories I think that one was and then this one here gorgeous absolutely love it love love love so that was that and then to go with it I got the mini really really cute so let me just take the bit off there there we go so again exactly the same but you get all the mini sheets so look tiny little squares there all of these Santa is watching I'd love that one look aren't they great it's just so so lovely thank you so much Kim it really is wonderful then I got this one here which is Botanical Garden by Carter Bella absolutely beautiful look at these again you get all these beautiful kind of I don't know what they call these sheets but they've just got such nice tags I mean you can have that obviously stuck onto the back of that you can just have that as a tag on its own oh my god look at these brints and it's again it's that watercolor look so again I don't know Kim if you sent that to me because you know I like watercolors but it's just beautiful they're absolutely stunning and it's very different anything I've got which again so great because that hydrangea pack I have nothing like that at all and even these kind of colors I don't really have this kind of yellow and green so it's just so nice to have a nice mix of things look how pretty everything is this is going to make a lovely album actually because you've got things like family time is the best time friendship they're going to make really nice albums oh wow look at that I'm going to try and paint that actually I think I might try and recreate something similar I really do love that love the stripes again those rose prints believe you always believe something wonderful is about to happen whatever you are be a good one that's so nice oh god I don't want to cut them but I will I can see some fussy cutting coming on here as well because I think some of these bits would be really nice to fussy cut again absolutely gorgeous hello beautiful kindness is better lovely life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful blessed oh I like that one look at that I see a lot of gift bags coming guys these are absolutely stunning oh wow look at that against that stripe oh again I'm just too excited at least the Christmas one I can kind of put to one side for a minute because I don't touch Christmas those of you that know I don't do any Christmas paper crafts I know I've got to do a few commissions for magazines but in terms of personal and doing videos for you guys not yet it's way too early but these and this you're definitely going to see tutorials soon using those and then also to go with that one you guessed it I got the mini 6x6 to go with it so again I'm not going to open it because you know how it's going to be but it's nice that I've got yeah all those prints again but in that kind of just scaled down version so those are papers that I've received then she sent me the tonic studios card making collection so this is the box kit and this was issue I does it so usually says or issue 8 and I think she said this one was an exclusive or part of it was exclusive to HSN only so there's something in this I think something like that I need to read the letter again anyway but either way it's just really nice to have and yeah this one so I haven't even opened it yet so let's have a little look okay wow if I can find any links obviously I will try and share them look at the side oh my gosh wow look at the size of that die that is a whopper how big is that one this one measures seven it's actually slightly over it's about seven and one eighth of an inch yeah squared that is a huge die now I know from seeing previous tonic kits before there are so many ways to use these like you know there's so many different kind of ways that you can put it together so I think no card would ever be the same kind of thing butterfly mosaic stained glass window die set that is wonderful and then so in here it's like a box within a box let me just get into this one gosh so I think maybe that's the bit this is the extra added on because then this is what's in the actual box and this all complements this so that is the other die so this is the rose and daffodil stained glass window die so look at that can't wait to cut these out see what they're like and then you have this embossing folder which I imagine parts of this would work with this but then you've got the stamps that all go with it friends like flowers they brighten your day celebrate your day to a special friend birthday wishes so it's practical publishing because obviously this is UK magazines 2018 so but I'm sure I'll be able to find these links somewhere but um what's upside down which way is it there we go so yeah really nice one so I'm looking forward to trying that and to read and sit down and read the magazine wow look at these prints god they're different kind of papers have not had them before really cool love that it's got a bit of a Picasso look about it as well I know it's stained glass but it's what it also reminds me of and these are obviously all cut out with the die so yeah I need to have a good look through that because these magazines I have worked on some of them before and they are just absolutely jam-packed full of inspiration so yes can't wait to look through that one and then Belize is actually really excited about these because when I read Kimmy's letter that she sent me she does crochet and she makes some other things that I'll show you in a moment but these here because when I first saw them I thought oh they're coasters then reading her letter and they are for removing your makeup now I'm really trying to just do my thing for the environment I think we're all aware now of our kind of plastic consumption and just loads of other things so I am really trying to reduce where I can and this is one of the things them the kind of makeup wipes I actually have stopped using anyway because they really do kind of irritate my skin and I have just been using cotton wool but it'd be really nice now to use these here's 100 cotton these are for removing your eye makeup and then these ones she said you can use on your face she sent me so many so I've got more than enough to obviously have some in the wash and use you know there's one two three four five six so I don't wear makeup every day so that's going to be perfect so you just put on your makeup remover and then rub it on your face make them wet and everything is I think they're absolutely genius I said to her I said this is such a good idea and I think I remember seeing somewhere there are some companies that have started doing things like this but how nice to have these really cute crochet ones and um and she said that she hasn't done a crochet for a while and you know sorry if there's any mistakes my gosh these are amazing I mean I've tried crochet I can't seem to get my head around it they're they're perfect look at the circle on them everything I think they are wonderful so they are going in a glass jar they're going with my makeup and my remover and yeah these well by the time this goes out they're probably all be in the wash because I would have used them so this for me I was quite personal and I just thought it was a really really lovely gesture so thank you so much and then still on the crochet theme she made this box which was a slightly adapted version of my flip top box that I've done I'm going to be taking these off definitely and keeping these looks you put a little ladybird in the middle of that one so she's got some velcro and inside here are some more goodies and I'm going to keep the box because that's still handy these ones I I mean I love poppies but we have remembrance obviously today not too long away and I'm going to make some of these I'm going to put little pins on them and have them as a little brooch and look at these poppies so we've got a few with a slight orange tone to them and then these ones in the red aren't they beautiful look so so pretty absolutely love them so I've got six of those and then she's done these ones here so that's like this here so many so I can make up these kind of flowers because I've got slightly smaller ones and then she's all actually she's already layered those ones so that's that one like that so yeah there we go how pretty are these going to be so nice as a really fancy gift tag you could stick that onto some you know a circle nice piece of decorative card so you can write on the back side of it but how pretty are they going to be definitely going to be thinking of really nice special ways to use these so yeah I've got the small ones there and then all these doubled ones but you just put a brad through that like she's done on these next ones which I'll show you which I thought was genius I think that absolutely beautiful and again she's just sent me so much it's so so thoughtful but look at these these are so cute so they are dinky ones but they're little brads so they are embellishments you can put these on your cards which I will definitely be doing by the color we got um I think that one hit in the purple there we go so we've got five five different colors but look and there's the little brad on the back what a clever idea I think that's just wonderful again the perfect looking but they've got that homemade feel about them which is something I just love so yeah I just can't well again you you guys know how appreciative I am of everything whether it's comments that you send me whether it's things that you send me you know I just yeah this was never what it was about for me I was just sharing tutorials and then these things have come along and you lovely people you know what can I say stuck for words anyway then I've got these here the paper studio and these are faceted adhesive gems but just really nice colors so this one here is I guess quite Christmassy in terms of the reds and the gold and green and golds there this is by oh hobby lobby so I think this is the first thing I've ever ever touched or owned that's got hobby lobby on it I always see you guys writing in the comments if someone says oh where can we get something like this does hobby lobby stock it and I think oh I'd love to visit hobby lobby so yeah oh I didn't even realize and is this oh yeah hobby lobby so I've got these gorgeous butterflies which I love and then yeah those are the packs that's the other colors there really really lovely I'm just like wow this is just so so thoughtful so let me just pop that because that's still not it I can't believe this it was like when I opened all that chocolate from Sandy that she sent me that time it was amazing so then in here in her letter she said that she sent some stamps to go and compliment the papers so here is this is the hydrangea yeah that's right so this is called happy hydrangea and this is technique Tuesday I do have a technique Tuesday stamp actually but look really really nice so that's so thoughtful that she's thought about putting some nice stamps to compliment the papers so that's going to go with those and then look at this these are the actual ones to go with it so I've got the dies to match the stamps oh my god I can't wait to use this they are so so good thank you thank you thank you and then so we got the papercraft essentials magazine which had the poppy stencil and the poppy stamps on it which I have been using and I've got another tutorial coming with that actually but look oh my god this is by Penny Black don't know who that is but it's a cling mount which I love the the rubber stamps look at this and it's perfect for me to watercolor again whether Kimmy you've been listening to me talking my tutorials but I love stamps that don't have lots of black in them it's pretty much just outline because for me now I can use my watercolors I can just do my own thing with it and I can't wait and because it's slightly off to the right hand side there that's going to sit nice on a card and it'll probably go within a five by seven card as well which is my preferred side size but you can see how it looks there really really lovely so that's that one and then this is really cool it's just got lots of tags so this is scrapbook.com again I saw it and I was like oh scrapbook.com again we I always hear it and see it but I don't ever have anything from there so I guess it's the same for you guys as well outside of the UK you hear me talk about many things that you don't you know have the stores for you know the facilities to be able to get to them so so this one is build a bunting oh I see okay so you stamp out all the different buntings or whatever ones you want and then you put the letters within them that's really quite sweet and it's easy to cut as well and it might that might even cut the I've got a stamping up bunting in that shape and I reckon it would cut those out so that's going to be a handy one and then I got a really nice magazine I think that was just part of the magazine there this is scrapbook and cards I love the smell of the magazine it smells just like really new but I love all the inspiration for scrapbook layouts because again I do still do them guys I know I've got actually I've got I think about three tutorials but I just haven't edited them yet I do still do it again it's the kind of things I do off-camera I don't always share everything because yeah it's just nice to just craft and not have to worry about videoing it and editing and all that kind of stuff but I do have some to go up but it's nice to actually look at these layouts here I think I recognize some of these these layout pieces from I think they might be like page evans you can kind of know you know you kind of know if it's a page evans layout because of the digital cut that's it the file cut file that she does but yes there's lots of inspiration there lots of nice things to read actually it'd be quite good to read something that's not I guess all about the UK and the UK crafting industry so yeah that was really nice I'm looking forward to that so that is what the wonderful Kimmy has sent me Kimmy from the bottom of my heart honestly this is just so so thoughtful and it's so lovely of you to just put this together and yeah and just think of the things that I like and it's I just think you've really added a personal touch to it and I can feel myself starting to cry again thank you so much it really is lovely and um yeah like I said this is not what I do this for this is just a really nice um extra so anyway I'm gonna go thank you Kimmy and um yeah see you all again soon for another tutorial bye
