 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my video today. I'm going to be doing an unboxing of kit number seven from Papercraft Society who was excited and somewhat relieved to see this drop through their letter box. There was a delay with this one, obviously with everything going on you know these things happen. The non-essentials have been pushed to the side so these have been sat I believe in customs for some time. But however we now have them and we have something fun to be able to craft with. I'm super excited to get this one because it is the Helen Griffin from Simply Made Crafts designed this one. So let's have a little look. I must admit I have already had a peek because I just was too excited. So again as always you get a lovely different designed box which is kind of a sneak peek of what the papers will be like and your kind of color palette. So you can see here we've got that lovely silver kind of foiling on the the title there and elements of the flowers and stuff. It looks really nice so let's get inside. So this one it says here I'm so in love with this box it's full to the brim with beautiful products and inspiration to get you started. Helen so as always you get your envelopes. We'll have a look in that first so I'll just pop this to one side. Okay so you get your three pockets and don't forget to share your makes with us hashtag Papercraft Society so if you are on any of the social media platforms and you share your makes then make sure you share with that hashtag so that the guys at head office and Helen herself can see what you've been making. So this says the gable box can be used for any occasion how will you decorate it. So Helen is known for 3D packaging kind of ideas so gift bags, gift boxes, mini albums. So this one the I guess the heart of it in terms of the dies is that gable box and you can just see it here on the outline and then you've got all these bits and pieces that will coordinate with that. Underneath there we've also got the papers so let's have a little look. So I haven't actually opened these okay so there you can see these beautiful sprays of flowers which is what's kind of throughout all the packaging here. Really lovely quality so you get two sheets of that gorgeous design. I have to really think about what I'm going to make because obviously you only get the two here so once they're gone they're gone but you also get two of this design which is really nice. There's two equally beautiful lovely patterns there and then this one's really nice that I mean that's lovely kind of I would do like a almost like a mini scrapbook layout with actually got that beautiful border but I will look at some nice ways to use that and then we have that beautiful stripe paper as well. It's like got a nice pastel and almost somewhat like a blurred kind of edge to it. It's very subtle but really really nice so super excited with those papers. I can't wait to start making some nice bits and pieces with that so that's those and then we have here who no sorry why not why not experiment with your inks to achieve different effects. Ah so the inks must be in the box so I was just thinking then I don't see any inks but I forgot we've still got more to come so in this one here now I did see the videos you know kind of like the build up to this and there's watercolouring and I love watercolouring it's what I I always say it's what I tend to do off camera I don't really share it too much it's like my relaxation but here we have got one two three four five six pieces of watercolor card. Now this is a cold press watercolor card however it has got a pretty smooth side on the back so if you do want to do some stamping with the watercolours I would suggest you use that smooth side because I think you're going to get some nice images and then the front you have that grain so you'll get that lovely watercolor effect that you know we all know so to have six pieces there's really good and I think they feel I mean they could be I think they're kind of maybe just under 300 gsm maybe 280 something like that so a nice quote you could certainly do a lovely watercolor wash over this and then actually make your 3d gable box which is something I think I might try to do actually I try to do I think I like that idea then we have here a watercolor brush pen so let's have a little look in here I love all the packaging all the little pockets and stuff I keep all these bits anybody else who subscribes do you keep all these bits so here you've just got your little water barrel there so you just unscrew the end she says hold on a minute oh there we go maybe the wrong way oh that's unusual okay so this one actually unscrews anti-clockwise I'm sure my others are the other way anyway nonetheless we have that water barrel so you just fill it with your water and then you'll be able to kind of pick up your ink pigments put them maybe onto like a medium mat so you can actually use that as your palette and then you can create some nice washes so that's that and then we always have a stamp set so this one here we have all these kind of they look to me like a peony so that's going to be nice I love this kind of crawler that's really nice do like that one a lot and also on here we have two with all the dots and then from that get used in you know your cards and stuff then you got handmade with love so that's nice to put on the back of the gable box and then you have a gift for you with the frame and thank you and happy best day so imagine those two will also fit within that frame you've also got celebrate which can go into that arrow then you have this very big frame here which again you know you can put all sorts in so that's um yep another nice one looking forward to using that so that's everything in the envelope and then in this one here we have our inks so there's our three colors for this kit so we've got that lovely it's more of a like a wine red I would say you've got like an olive green and then that kind of peachy color there these are hybrid inks so you know you can do lots of different effects with them and from what I've seen from the past ones they're pretty loaded with pigments you do get a lot in them actually got a bit of a weight to them as well then we have our inspiration booklet and we've also got here our cards so you get this in every single kit this one has understanding paper and cardstock weights and what I like to do with mine is I have them all on this little binder ring so they're all there and they've all got different kind of little things on them so I'm just going to pop a little hole in there and that'll get added on to them you can see all of my other ones there together so yeah it's just a nice way to keep them at hand and yeah just got lots of information on them so I'll keep that there and I'll do that after the video then we have here some adhesive crystals so they're nice and they're good color they go with everything and then we have our cardstocks so you've got your pattern paper and then you have your cards plain cardstock here because the pattern is strong enough to be able to make 3d crafts with as well so I think mine's a little bit attached so it's just yeah just tacked on to the back one so we have here these colors will all match the ink cubes so we have that olive green get two pieces then we've got that lovely wine kind of red there again two pieces and there's that peach color so again the two pieces and then we've also got two lovely pieces of the mirror silver there as well so that's nice to have that so yeah that's all of those pieces let's have a little quick look in the book so you can get an idea of the gable box so there's Helen on the front you have a little introduction usually the contents all that stuff I don't want to show too much because again for anybody that hasn't opened theirs yet I mean you probably won't watch this anyway because you won't want it to ruin the surprise but for anybody that is interested in joining the papercraft society monthly kits you can subscribe on a monthly basis on a quarterly basis six monthly basis or you can sign up for the whole year so here you can again it just shows you the contents of this kit and then that is the gable box so this is like I said that main die and I really like this idea of making it's almost like a little greenhouse I like that a lot and you can see that's been stamped there so I imagine that's been stamped onto the watercolor card and then Helen it has you know watercolor the leaves this is using the pattern paper and that olive card stock and I love the flowers really do like those ones there and then it shows you how to do it and again more inspiration there and there'll be loads more throughout that book as well so yeah tons of inspiration this one like I said has gone out now everybody the other subscribers have got it I don't believe there were any more of these so this is you know this one has sold out but if you'd like to register for the next one which I possibly think that one is actually already now ended because this one was obviously quite delayed so I will share the links to the papercraft society because I think there's still time to sign up for box nine okay so you'll be able to see if you haven't already signed up to craftstache website have a look there because that's where you will see all the kind of the goings on and the releases and all the little kind of teaser videos and all that kind of stuff but you'll be able to see but I believe the current one that we're waiting to come out now or the one that has landed possibly is the be crafty I think that's the one and I think the one after this is Olga's paper to papercraft discovery yeah so I think it's the papercraft discovery one after this which is box number eight box nine is the be crafty box which is like your mixed medium I'm really looking forward to that one eventually as well but right now I've got this one I'm gonna now do some crafting with it and enjoy it because we have waited a while but thank you craftstache for getting this to us and yeah I will be back
