 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. So I have box 12 of the Paper Craft Society and I am so excited. I have been waiting for the lovely Clare Rollins who is the designer and just the fantastic illustrator behind Daisy Mae Designs and she now has a Paper Craft Society kit. And it is gorgeous, I've already had a look, I just, I couldn't contain myself. I actually arrived whilst my mum and my sister were visiting and my mum was all over it as well. This has gone out to subscribers so you would have had to have subscribed for this one. However I'll share the links below because a few days maybe even a week after you then sometimes see open stock appear on the website so there may still be an opportunity for people to get their hands on this. It's just absolutely beautiful, I wasn't disappointed at all. I've been a massive fan of Clare's for a long time and I just adore her stamps and you see me use them a lot in my past tutorial. So here's the front of the box, love this red and white like checkered print and then on the front here you've got this lovely little red robin and the letterbox, you've got the Ponsettia, then you've got the robin on the twig there and you've got that lovely lantern hanging with the candle inside, you've got buttons, little holly leaves and then that lovely gold foiled writing on the front there, you can just see it. So open it up and then inside here all of the patterns as well, I always say it but there's always new people watching, this is always an indication of what the papers are going to be. So you've got this lovely pattern here and then inside you've got this holly with this like snow or polka dot background. So it says here craft for the love of colour, design and creativity, Clare. So you have your pocket, so go through that first or your envelope and then we'll go and look at the stuff inside the tissue paper in a moment. So here's your envelope, so as always if you do make anything, if you share it on social media just put hashtag papercraftsociety so that the guys can see what you've been making. So in here we have our dye set, so let me just get this so you can see it. What I'm actually going to do because the dyes will make more sense if I do the stamps first, so there's your dyes. Okay if I just come up a little bit, let's move that there, there we go. So the stamps, I was so literally like I said not disappointed at all, they are gorgeous so and I've got two really fun car designs that I want to share. So we have here, look how big this lovely letterbox is, it's gorgeous, I just adore it and you've got that lovely bird bath and you've got your robin, you've got another robin there but obviously you can colour them so you could use these birds and then this would look lovely on a summer card as well, you know with the birds just playing in the water, you could change them and colour them so they're like a blue tit or any kind of any bird really depending on how you colour it, so it's you know I like stamps that you can use you know for other occasions and other times throughout the year. You've got your twig there or your tree branch and then you've got your holly traditional claire bow there with the stitching, love the poncettia and if you've had any of claire's past collections they are snippets of those, so this twig is very similar to the one that she done in a christmas collection last year along with the poncettia, there's a beautiful stamp set which is probably still available on her page on craftstache, the bow, there's lots of you know larger stamped bows similar to that you know throughout the collection but I've not got any stamp like this, I can't wait to use it, I love the button stamps as well, they're really cute, another holly there and then your sentiments, you've got special delivery 25th of December and you've got christmas wishes and happy christmas and then there's that lantern there as well, so the die as you can see here I just sit it down so there's your lantern so there's the lantern die, this will cut your button, so I imagine it's going to cut this one here, you've got your holly die for there, you've got your twig die, the bow die, the other holly die which is here, both birds which is great, obviously the big letter box, the poncettia, you've even got the pine cone, I think that's it and then the bird bath I imagine that one's the one that you'll just cut yourself but it's a pretty standard easy shaped cut so really really happy with it, I cannot wait to start making some lovely projects so then your papers, okay so you've got these two here with the robins and the snowflakes so so cute, love them, then you've got this one here and that's the paper on the inside of the pocket so you get again two of those and you've got these two here, I use those instantly, I almost want there to be like just a whole pack of this because it's just such a nice pattern to use at Christmas time, really really nice, this one here, this is quite nice it's like a seam kind of, yeah I guess it's like it's already done for you so it's like a torn piece of paper, your buttons, kind of like a polka dot and then some stitching so that's a nice one, haven't got anything like that and then this is really nice, so you've got all these pop-out sentiments which you've got that stitching around them, happy Christmas, Christmas cheer, thinking of you, merry and bright and then you've got two that are warm winter wishes, two that are handmade with love, happy Christmas, with love, merry and bright, peace, love and joy and seasons greetings so those are all doubles and there there's some extras which and you know I guess the thinking of you, you know you can use all year round and then all the rest yet they are geared towards Christmas, I know you're the with love as well, you can keep that one, isn't that nice, so for anybody that just likes to have their sentiments done for them you do have that option there so that's everything in your envelope and then the tissue so lovely Christmas green and then you get there's so much in here so let's just move that to one side, okay so we have some twine and we have they've put ribbon here but this is more of a burlap and this is Claire uses, this is so many of her card making and 3d projects, she makes gorgeous bows again if you've never seen any of Claire's work head over to craftstache, head over to her facebook page and um and have a look she does absolutely beautiful cards and her coloring I mean she's an illustrator so she's she's just amazing anyway but her coloring is it blows my mind sometimes so nice to have that there and you've got a nice amount I mean it's thick anyway but there's a lot on there so I'm gonna yeah mix some nice bows with that then we've got some fake snow you can probably color that as well if you've got any of your ink refills you know you can take a little bit out pop it on like an acrylic block and drop a few droplets of the color that you want and then you'd be able to color that yourself you got wooden buttons now we did get wooden buttons in Christina's one so when I heard wooden buttons I thought oh they're the same but they're not look they're little wooden hearts they are just adorable those two are stuck together I need to get those apart but look at them and you could put some thread through there and then tie little bows on them really really cute and there's loads again so really nice to have those little embellishments to finish off your makes then we've got here water color pencils I love pencils I love coloring with pencils so it'd be interesting to see what these ones are like artist quality pencils conforms to ASTM and there's a code code there as well so you get let's have a little look inside here because you'll get a mix your colors so you've got your you've got your standard primary colors and you'll be able to then mix you know those when you add your water so here we have yellow blue black green red and brown and then they have papercraft society on the bottom there as well so yeah I will be looking forward to trying them seeing what they're like then you've got your information card so this one says in crafting there are no mistakes just unique creations and when I saw this it made me think of Bob Ross because it starts off in crafting there are no mistakes and then Bob Ross would say they're just happy little accidents so yeah I like that and then on the back here it's got your color pencil guide so if anybody's new to using them you've got some useful information here what ink should I use with the watercolor pencils that's always a you know a question that I see asked a lot over on you know the social media platforms then you've got can you use regular color pencils as watercolor pencils can I use watercolor pencils dry can I just dip the pencil into water if I don't have a brush is there a wrong way to use watercolor pencils and how do I blend my pencils and then there's a little explanation under each one so that's really useful we've got our booklet which I will show you a little bit about in a minute and then you have your coordinating cardstock okay so we have lovely Christmas red there so we've got two of these white core which for Christmas times are really nice because I always say anyway the white core is nice for you to be able to do techniques with because when you distress the edges the white will come through so you could you know make it so it looks like snow when you distress it and you can when you emboss on this and you can lightly sand at the top again you get really nice effects so that'd be nice to do so you've got two of that in the red then you've got three really thick was it four we've got four thick pieces of beautiful watercolor card so this would be food you obviously I'm stamping now it is a cold press so you have a grainy side and then you have a smooth side so if you want to stamp I would suggest using the backside where it's smoother so you'll get a nice impression but if you want to do any kind of backgrounds and just create some washes then you want to use the grainy side because then that'll give you that watercolor look that you always get so yeah that's nice they're really nice thick quality ones and then you've got this green here it's a bit more of a minty green it's very much a clear green beautiful really like it so you can see those colors there together and then you've got two shoots of white and then you've got craft card again very much a clear staple I think so those are your ad stocks okay and then let's have a little look in the booklet so there's a lovely Claire and I will not show everything I don't like to just go through every single thing in here but I will show you just some of the you know card ideas here we go so Claire's done a rocker card and you can see just how lovely that letterbox stamp is and you can see she's used the artificial snow all along the top she's used that lovely burlap trim then there's that I guess it's the checkered order put the plaid it's not quite plaid but you know I mean paper there and then that's probably just her own red card stock and then what she's done here that's those pop out sentiments but she's just added color to it so you can you know distress them and then she's used some of the twine that lovely heart and then she's just added a few little baubles there she's used the craft card the Ponsettia flower and these little kind of sprigs the stamps as well and then that I didn't realize actually so that special delivery 25th of December of course it makes sense we'll go in front of the letterbox there so that's just an idea absolutely gorgeous look at this isn't that cool it tells you how to make that gift box and there's the robin with some of the sprigs and then you can put some snow and then again that sentiment cute little bag really really sweet I love that look at that easel card isn't that pretty so that's just some there's loads more in there lots and lots of inspiration and yeah I can't wait to get stuck in that's the unboxing for papercraft society kit 12 I can't believe it's a year's worth of boxes now already I just love them so I hope you've enjoyed
