 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. So I'm going to be showing you how to make a really quick and easy piece of home decor, so this is going to be going in my craft room and you would have seen the pictures at the beginning of this video. But I wanted to just quickly show you first how this has all come about. So Louise at Thompson's Craft Supplies kindly sent me a lucky dip, so she has an option on her website where you can select a lucky dip and then you will email her or in the comments below when you go to purchase it. Basically you can list your likes and your dislikes, so there's certain colors you don't like, certain patterns, prints, you know certain sayings, maybe you prefer more paper then you would prefer you know stickers or maybe you don't like washi tape, you kind of get what I'm saying. So it's a really nice way to customize what you get but it's still got an element of surprise to it. So I gave Louise my likes and dislikes, it was mainly more likes than dislikes to be fair, and she put this together for me. Now this costs £20 but there's around £25 or more in value in inside there. Now the thing that I love about Louise and what she has on offer on her website is that most of the product is from outside of the UK. There's a lot of European companies on there, there's a lot of you know companies from the States, Australian, she has a real nice mix so I do encourage you to go over and have a look. I know some of you already have after I shared the Minté paper pack on my last What Did I Get video and those papers are gorgeous and they're from a company in Poland so it's a really nice way to kind of see what else is out there. Anyway that's just a little overview, this is what Louise sent me, so I've got the washi tape, I've got these really nice, they're not enamel, they're kind of little bit softer but these are these kind of gold hearts, really nice, love those. There's a word for it, I'm trying to think of but I still don't know what it is. And then I've got these, I love these, these are by American Crafts and they're really funny, look at the tag on the back with the llama and stuff so I love that and they're definitely going to get used on cards and also on scrapbook layouts, that yay, definitely going to get used. Then you've got the Vicky Boot in, this is the sticker pack, you get 102 so you've got the front and back, perfect for your planners, scrapbooks, amphicard making and then papers. So the papers are all single sheets from different companies and she's gone around and I think she's nailed it in terms of what I like. I've got these really fun pineapples here and then this leaf design and this one here is by Paradise Found so it's paper house productions by Rene or Rene Looney. This is this floral print here, this is by Simple Stories, Love and Adore and I really do adore it, I think it's gorgeous, I'm really nice to fussy cut as well so and then on the back you get the hearts there. Then with this one here, I've got them upside down, I love these two, oh my gosh and straight away you know that they are Prima so they've got this gorgeous kind of holographic foil running through the middle or not the middle but just dotted around there. This is the Prima Flirty Fleur collection, something floral, this individual one here and then you just got that kind of, it's almost like it's stamped like ink, like lines, it reminds me of like old kind of stationary the ink sheets that you used to get anyway, that's what that looks like and then here this is another Prima marketing, gorgeous, absolutely stunning and this is the Havana collection scented notes is this particular one here and again you've got that lovely print on this one on the back, this one I love, love, love, love, my Bright Life by Jean Hadfield Homemade, just love that print, it's really really fun and then you just got the green polka dots on that side and then these ones here so you've got these really cool milkshakes, that's a pink paisley pie page Evans that's picked me up, this one here is definitely got fussy cutting written all over it which is what I will be doing and this is by one canoe too and it's Hazelwood and this particular one is flock and then you just got like a chevron kind of effect on the back and then this one here is another nice pink background but look at that on the top, love it, another page Evans picked me up sheet there so really again beautiful papers so thank you Louise you've nailed those they are awesome so I've got one two three four five six seven eight pieces there so that's potentially eight scrapbook layouts so yeah lots and lots there but this is my favorite this is brilliant and this is why I love the whole pick-a-mix um I keep saying pick-a-mix lucky dip is you just don't know what's going to be in it but you know it's going to be something you love if you've already kind of you know stressed your likes and dislikes this here is by page Evans for pink paisley again this is the pick me up but it's an acetate 12 by 12 sheet and just look at that that is just stunning that gold foiling that beautiful floral pattern just going all the way around the outside so this is 12 by 12 and this is the project that I'm going to show you today because this here I wanted to be on display I wanted to be able to see it I just think it's beautiful so what I've done is I've gone to hobby craft and they've got a sale on at the moment and I found this shadow box frame now I have purchased their larger frames before sometimes I've had to pay for price sometimes they've been obviously in the sale this was in the sale and this was five pound fifty which I thought was really really good value so I just got the plain white because that would obviously match and go with anything now it fits these papers perfectly I did go ahead and try it so what I'm going to do is take the backing off here and just so you can see just how great this is going to look just remove that piece there okay so that is going to sit in there like so once everything's in place it will stay there but if I just bring this over once the white's on the background but it looks like it's actually on the glass it just looks brilliant you can see me in there hello um it just looks like it's on the glass it looks absolutely brilliant so what I want to do is I want to have a saying on this now the saying that my mum has always said and that I've slowly over the years stolen from her is this room hugs me so I went ahead on my cricket and I have found a font that I think will work and I've done this now you'll get to see what a cricket mat looks like from somebody who is new to using a cricket machine because yeah just look at it even here I don't know what went wrong but I started writing on the top of my mat and then yeah had to rub that off and that's what happened anyway I will be once I'm completely happy and confident with the cricket machine then I'll buy a new mat but what I've gone and done is I have found a font so I've got these um letter tiles it's like that scrabble effect and I've just done this room hugs me which you can kind of see there now I haven't lifted it off yet because I thought I'd do that here so I'm going to roll off the back here and that is cut perfectly and I thought I'd go for the gold and once I move it around but I think that's going to work really nice now I'm going to be sticking it onto just this plain white piece of 12 by 12 cardstock so I'm going to probably whether these will come off if I just do it actually I can just pick these off because the middles are perfect that's what I was hoping would happen that the middle will stick down so I'm just going to peel all of these off here you can buy the transfer um sheets where you stick it on the top it will lift it off perfectly for you to then re-transfer but I'm going to move this around anyway so I wasn't too worried but I do still have it there as well but because it's in lots of little pieces well to be fair it's not yeah they're used in two pieces and yes I probably will end up just losing it and not use that but that's an idea anyway you've got that there if you want to so because the image is slightly different is it on each side no each side is the same but reversed so I'm going to have it that way so that's the top this is the bottom so I'm going to just roughly see first of all how this is going to fit I should have kept them in order now I've got them all mumbled up right the stuff from the beginning so we're going to have this room bugs me now you imagine that's going to be set back and this is obviously going to be forward but I just wanted to check it is going to fit where I want it to be so I'm pretty happy with that I want to make sure I've got them all equally spaced apart now because obviously they're equal squares really you just want to make sure that you get that all nice and lined up and then the me just sits down there but I think this is going to look really nice so now I need to move this all off onto here and kind of get that as centered as possible but also another thing I've just noticed if you flip it over look at the different color you get there I mean you don't get the foil in coming through as much but it's all like rose gold now and those kind of blues but I love this one I'm just going to lay that on there now I've nearly got it where I want it to be so I just need to pull it down a little bit out the static on it there there we go I think that is pretty good so now I'm going to obviously spend more time making sure they're exactly lined up but in terms of the area that it needs to be is here so I've just got I'm starting to trial out a few other glues and one that I'm enjoying at the moment is this one here which is by dawn of bibby creations it's supplied by craft buddy and yeah you've got the little precision nib there and everything so I am going to I feel though it should be lifted up just ever so slightly because no it can't because of that leaf there no I still think it's going to be okay okay so I'm going to start sticking this all down okay so I'm really pleased with that without using a ruler I think I've got that pretty you know centered and lined up and equal spacing and blah blah blah anyway so that's that piece now I'm going to grab my frame okay so I've just put everything in there and you can see here this moves around and it just will literally come out of that section and I need it to stay in there so with this wooden piece already in place I'm going to grab my thin red tape and I'm going to run on top of the glass very thin strip but I don't even need to do it on all the way around I'm just going to do it on two sides because it's only very light acetate and it's just needs to be kind of held in place there but I don't want this tape obviously coming through so you can see it I want it all hidden so just and the good thing is with this is I can change it if I need to at a later point you know I decide I want to have a different saying in there but I don't think I'm going to get bored of that beautiful frame floral print frame okay so just take off the backing there now usually you would have if you've got something that's a little bit bigger this wooden piece that kind of keeps the glass and the backing separated that would be enough to stop whatever it is you're putting in there falling through but this is exactly the size of this inner wooden frame that's why I've just got to add this little bit of sticky to it so you want to make sure now that you've got no kind of bits on here I'm just going to give this a wipe just give the glass a little wipe I mean it's brand new so it should be fine okay so then I can stick this to one side like so that is tacked in place now I'm just going to wipe the backside because now that's stuck against the glass I can't get to it unless I obviously peel it all off so now when I flip it over just looks like it's part of the glass it's absolutely stunning it really does look like that's painted on the glass I just love this so now this piece here so I want to make sure I've got it in the right way I think that was where I had it what was it that way I think it was that way let's have a little play now this piece needs to be stuck on here and all I'm going to do is just run a couple of strips of tape there you want to make sure you get an equal frame okay I need to cover this a little bit more because of the you can actually see a little bit of this brown so what I'm going to do is I've got this really lovely gold washi tape which I've used before so I'm going to it probably won't stick to that it won't stay there so I'm going to run some of this red tape around here this will actually be a nice little kind of extra detail really because you'll see a little bit of gold frame inside so it was just a little bit of the brown is poking through which I don't like obviously I'm just going to pop this frame around it there we go that's now got a nice foiled frame so now when I pop it in here it should perfect it's completely covered and you can just see a little bit of the gold poking through underneath there I mean to be honest you can't really pick it up that much in here but it's just me being picky but I just love that the quickest easiest piece of comb decor just seal the back there it's easy to change if I need to and you can really appreciate now so it's nice you can see how it's set back but this room hugs me can't get it all in there we go gorgeous so it was just really to give you some inspiration you know I'm using my cricket more and more baby steps but I really did want to show off the wonderful piece of acetate there that Louise sent me how you can obviously get hold of yours as well if you want to get that same piece I'll see if it's available and share the links below for you because I'm sure you might be able to buy it on its own but do go and check out the Lucky Dip and have a little look around Louise's shop as well online and send her a message she's on Facebook as well Thompson's craft supplies again all those links will be shared below but I'm now going to go and hang this up and enjoy it so thanks for watching and I'll be back again soon bye
