 Hi everybody, it's Simon at MixUp Craft. Thank you for watching my video today. We're going to be taking a look inside kit number five from the Papercraft Society. So this one dropped through my door and I've been itching to look inside. I do have a slight idea and you'll see why in a moment, but anybody that's not aware of what the Papercraft Society is, it's a monthly papercraft kit that you can subscribe to. You can subscribe month to month. You can do quarterly, six monthly or yearly. I think if you do yearly and six monthly and probably quarterly as well, it works out slightly cheaper per box than if you were to just do it month by month. But it's a beautiful box and you can see here everyone that comes through is slightly different and the colours and the patterns on the outside are an indication of what's to come inside. So you get a nice Velcro opening and this one here is time to make the Magic Happen Let's Craft and this is from Ruth. So you get your envelope, which is the best part I say. And then I did, like I said, have a little peek inside. I'm just going to take out that piece there and then put the box to one side. Okay, so here is the envelopes. This is what you get in every single box and on the side it will say Papercraft Society. This one says box five and it's by Ruth and Mackie McCartan. So let's have a little look. Again, nice Velcro fastening and then you have your dies, your stamps and any kind of like stencils or templates and your embellishments and things like that is usually in here like toppers and things. So first of all we've got the stamp set. Now I did do some inspiration for the booklet so I was asked to use the stamps and they're really lovely to colour because they were more of a block stamp. There's not too much detail in them. You can see here you've got that lovely champagne bottle and the glass there of champagne next to it. The sentiments are nice because they are, again, they're what's the word, a block so you can colour them inside. You can see there just the outer edges of each letter and then you can colour inside. You've got some flowers there. Love the bow, it's a really nice size bow and the tie. You've got a necklace, piece of birthday cake, lovely tipped cake there as well and you've got the pocket as well because there is a nod towards more of the masculine cards in this one which I think is really good because it's something that there isn't a lot out there in terms of inspiration I don't think. So to have a whole kit that has a lot of inspiration for it however there is also inspiration for you know anybody really so it's a good one. So that's your A5 stamp set and then you've also got two pieces of acetate here. If you've seen the unboxings or any of the inspiration already because it does you know they do kind of tease you on their social media channel you would have seen some of the boxes. So here we have a so this is a die cut sheet of toppers and just embellishments so again you've got the champagne glass there, you're a star, you've got them toasting there, celebration surprise and then like streamers, balloons, another champagne bottle, stars and all these other little hearts and things like that so again really nice it's a nice thick cardstock as well and then in that same pocket you have your die so I always like to put mine on to a magnetic sheet I haven't got around to doing this one yet but one of the main cards that you can make with this is a pop-up tuxedo fold card and this is the die that will cut it for you. So it's a really nice size to do so I actually made these cards without a die and you know you can do it but because you're working on angles sometimes and you've got to get your points lined up you know it can not always have the perfect finish so when you've got a die you're certainly going to get that so yeah I'm looking forward to using the die because that wasn't one of the cards that I was asked to do because we usually get given a brief and they'd like us to focus on certain ones so I'm just going to close that there because I've just noticed that there's a glare I'll take the plastic off in a minute but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. You've got balloons, nice big-sized balloons here, the stars, flowers and it's all those same kind of images that you've got here which they've then done in the dies as well and you've got sentiments that say time to and then it says party and celebrate so you can choose and then you've also got you so you can have celebrate you which is nice then then you've even got like the stamen detail there for inside the flower so there's lots of it and this was nice because I did use this this tiny die here you actually put towards like the top left of the balloon then when you die cut it it will cut that shape out and then if you die cut another balloon in white and put it behind it you'll get that white come through and it looks like a highlight and it gives the balloon a dimension without it actually really having it so it's a nice little addition I did like that okay then down here we have a template here so this is to do a pop-up box card so you have a tuxedo style pop-up box you've also got a standard pop-up box again I'm aware that this is let's pop it on to this fine let's take some of the paper and then I can show you so let's do the papers well now I've got them out look at the colors they were great really did enjoy them it's so different to what I've got and I just I think they're really really nice so you've got stars stripes you've got some swirls and then like a zigzag kind of Chevron kind of effect there but if I just put this against that there it's a bit better but you can see these lines so this is your template so you draw these lines and that would be your score lines this is for another pop-out feature again and then it's even got your tab pieces here you can just make them out but all the instructions and everything are all inside the booklet which I will show you in a moment so that is everything in your envelope and then inside the tissue paper always keep my tissue paper we've got these bits here so I'm going to take this out so we have some ribbon it's like a silver satin ribbon which is nice these are beautiful I did get to use these ones these are circular really dimensional you can see they're really raised and then these ones here are more flat but they're faceted so again they catch the light really really pretty then you get your ink cubes so we've got a deep navy and like a wine orangey more of a I guess it's kind of like terracotta and then you have your card here so this one is an adhesive guide so this is quite handy so we've not we always get a different guide so some's got like your mat sizes some's card sizes so this one's adhesive guide a simple guide to the glues to use in your projects and then it just basically tells you then which ones that you they recommend to use on different surfaces and fabrics that's that one then you get your cardstock so you got your paper and this is now your card so let's have a little look no we've got two in that kind of terracotta we've got two in the blue or navy it's beautiful colour and then we've got two in white so you've got eight pieces of a five thick card stock there really lovely and then we have our booklet so okay so here is Ruth and then inside you have a welcome you have your contents and then you have a five minute interview with Ruth and then what's in the box oh it looks like there's two of those because I didn't take them out of the plastics you get two of those topper pieces there as well that's one thing I will say I think they're pretty generous with what you get inside the kits so here we have for the boys so this is the tuxedo style card so anybody that's not you know kind of familiar with this style it's a great box shape and it folds flat as well so you can fit it into an envelope but you can see here the stars you can see there like the party swirls the balloons you know all those cuts pre die cuts and things really fun and those colors are just so they just really pop and then you've got step-by-step the pictures on how to put everything together these ones I really love and I'm going to go and do some of these myself so this is you wear it well and these are dimensional makes for men inspired by the tuxedo box concept so I imagine yeah this whole black side piece here looks like if I just grab it looks like one side of like the die so whether they've used that as maybe just like a template and then that's folded over yeah it wouldn't surprise me if that's what's happened there and then you can kind of fold it so like I said the inspiration I think it's very good this one I love I think that's brilliant really like right down to the it's like a double breasted jacket there with the four buttons so I think that's really cool and even the way that the ties are stamped on that that card there as well I think it's really cool and then we've got close up so it does show you how to make it stamp the bow tie onto white die cut one tuxedo panel card panel and trim from the bottom so it is yeah clever so just shows you different ways to use the the dies and then that's that one and then this is one of the ones that I done so this was just they wanted me to just do it and they wanted me to work with the the stamp as being the main focus so I colored it using the inks and then I just brought in the yellow was just one of my own but yeah just use that terracotta color there stamped the stars use the acetate to create an art shape and I show you how to do that but again I just really like coloring that but you color that in pinks and you know yellows and purples and you know you can start to bring more of a feminine touch to it as well and then this was another one I done so this was the pop-up card using that pop-up mechanism that I showed you and I just die-cut and will stamped you know a few of those bottles and the balloons and just had a real nice pop-up of bottles and I just thought it was really fun yeah just really like it and then you've got the surprise there and it's got a nice front as well so if you didn't want to keep it displayed open even when it's closed you've just got that little cluster there and I use the stars and things like that but again it shows you how to do that with the supplies and then this is that box one so this is that template so you'll create this style and then again it shows you how to do it and then other things that you can do so it's another version using the flowers to use that tuxedo and then that's the stamped flowers to create an easel card then you've got quick makes I've really like the quick makes and this is that white so you would think that that there has just been drawn in with maybe like a paint pen but it's not it's that tiny die that's been die cut on the yellow and then the balloons been die cut again in white and just stuck behind it I really like that little feature it's those tiny little details that I really do enjoy and then you can see the pocket there just use using the stars and even with the the bow there because although it's a bow tie it can you know again color it in you know more feminine colors and you've got a nice bow to put on anything you want it's just a nice embellishment and then craft sash top picks for masculine make so again if that's something that you make a lot of and you struggle then they've got some ideas for you and then this one I really like as well and this is by Nikki I love the way she's done the balloons there and use the white that was the cardstock as a as a natural highlight so just by using those ink cube colors she's just not gone right into the middle but it actually makes the balloons look like the lights it in them I just think it's really clever again they're really nice with the little cluster and she's done that as an open so it's a gatefold I wonder what she's actually called that one hasn't got a particular name I don't think Nikki just looks at techniques that you can use the two hybrid ink pads in the month's box so I do I really like that style and then here so this is by Carol really fun I like that style so it's like a concertina it doesn't really say again the what that kind of fold is but it's a concertina style fold and this is a teenage style birthday card I think they've nailed it I think that really would work really really well and again I love that when it's folded that's the effect that you get cool and then top five products my scoreboard I've got that one love the glue I've got very similar stamping platform and I've got the Gemini so I agree with you Ruth and then you just finish your booklet there okay so that is the contents of box 5 this one's already gone out to all the subscribers you can't actually get this one however saying that they do sometimes put them on the
