 Hey everybody it's Sam here and now I am all over the place with my Papercraft Society boxes. I do have the Pretty Gits Gritty and the last Olga one and I'll do separate unboxings for those because they are still available now as open stock but I want to start using this one so I thought I best do the unboxing before I start cutting into all the papers. So this is box number 18 and this one's by Christina Griffiths and you can see on the front there we've got a rose gold running throughout and this gorgeous purple colour lavender is really nice. I haven't looked inside the tissue you can see it's still all sealed up there so we'll do that separately. Let's have a little look in the envelope first. So anybody new to my channel these are the Papercraft Society kits. These come out every month. There's always a different designer and you have a wallet which will have stamps, dies, other stencils and bottom folders if that designer's chosen to have those along with patterned papers and then you'll have additional bits in the box as well. So here you can see the envelopes we've got. Don't forget to show your makes with us, hashtag Papercraft Society. Make your die cuts go further by snipping into them for extra shapes. Love the soft and delicate designs you can achieve with pastel colours and then this one says building up layers and textures makes your cards extra special. So let's have a look first of all at the dies. I haven't even looked at the inspiration for this while I'm going in blind because usually I do have a sneak peek before I do the unboxings but we have this edge die here along with this one. These look like your leaves to your flowers and this looks like the top of a flower. I'm imagining this is going to cut into things like this detail here it's very delicate but I do like those extra little sprigs to go into like when you're building bouquets and stuff. These look like possibly orchid dies and then you have that looks like some very ornate butterfly or bow or bow actually and there's another bow there you've got some ovals they're obviously going to cut sentiment you've got a stamen detail you've got a hello die and then this other almost like a more of a topper but I imagine you've got your outer die and then your detail so it will cut into your cardstock or out but that one is the edge because that doesn't have a cut line along that side there. So that's the dies and then the stamps already I can see this beautiful kind of topper which I've already got an idea on what I want to do with. I love these kind of border ones here they're really nice to color because they're quite simple just outline you know images rather than there's there's no detail inside so I like things like that you've got your little crocuses there oh there we go so that's that one so I imagine yeah that looks like that will die cut this one here beautiful just corner design and then you've got sunshine friend just to say you've got Easter there so you can have hello there um there's probably others that you can see as well but I'll probably see them when I start using it but I think that's really nice love this great big top because you can add all different sentiments inside that one so you know if you had this before because I know lots of people already have the kit so you have subscribed so again they'll be watching this thinking Sam I've had this for ages but you could have happy Mother's Day in there which I imagine people have done beautiful really really like all that detail I think it's lovely then you have the embossing folder here and this is five by seven I do like five by seven embossing folders don't have as many I've got more six by six so it's nice to have these just kind of just nice pattern designs because it's easy then to start layering up you know all these flowers and this lovely top it will look great behind that then you have your papers you always get two of each so you've got this beautiful paper here which is I think the design on the envelope and see if I just bring it a bit closer and then you've got this stripe which is nice I like this is pretty that's really nice I like that one a lot this is the one that's on the envelope there we go so you could pop the topper in there you know pop that onto a larger would be like a six by eight card that'd look really nice aren't they beautiful really really pretty designs so that's your papers so let's have a look inside the tissue paper sometimes you can get the sticker off without tearing the tissue paper like so and then I'll just take it off that side in a minute but you can always reuse this so in here we've got some new colors and we have some organza ribbon let's bring that up there so you can see you always get lots on here is why it's quite thick so that's nice and you can color that they're easy to dye with your inks you always get an information card system says when in doubt add a flourish with pearls and ribbon that's very a Christina thing her cards are very detailed so you've got here this is a verse library so have you made a beautiful handmade card then struggled for inspiration of what to write in it these verses may just be what you're looking for that's nice I've not seen that before they're actually the right kind of size so you could almost photocopy that and then cut them out there you go or if you're very good with your handwriting then you'll be fine eye on the other hand and not and then you've got your three ink cubes here really nice colors like this one they're gonna be nice these all stuck on top of each other they're hybrid inks so you can use them with your waters waters so you can use them with water or without and they will react and create nice effects and then we have the coordinating card stock here so let's just take this out so again that lovely lime green there these ones are white core double-sided so again you can create some nice distressed effects in fact if you run the embossing folder through this card and if you've got a light sander over the top you'll get the grain of the white core coming through and it creates lovely effects again it gives a real kind of depth to the card so once you start adding your flowers and things on top it's just makes them very tactile I do like cards like that then you've got lovely like lemon yellow and then you've got an olive green there as well so again that will all coordinate perfectly with your inks and also with those pattern papers and then here's the inspiration so here's Christina I won't go through all of it because I like to keep it a surprise again for anybody new that's thinking of getting it or for people that have got it maybe it's a lovely new stick so let me just show you some beautiful cards let's have a little look first time I'm looking at it so I'm just trying to see let's show you one with that top there we go this one here so this is an easel card and it looks like this is done by Pauline Hickey she's done kind of a distressed almost like an an oxide reaction there in the background using the inks and then she's used white embossing powder to stamp the main stamp that big topper and then I think she's again she would have used the inks and she's coloured all those parts there and then stamped looks like she may have used some vellum in the middle there as well so she's stamped that one so that's one idea and then here again this is Pauline she's done a lovely one with the embossing folder so you can see there again she tells you how to do it I really like that idea and then she's used those corners and then she's used some silver embossing powder there and then see if we've got another that's a nice idea so someone there has made an eskip using that lovely topper and then the cardstock there and they look like they've made little note cards to go inside so just to give you some ideas there
