 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching today. I just wanted to come in with a very quick video just sharing the magazines that I've purchased. A lot of you messaged me asking which magazine the Daffodil die, for example, has come from, which magazines I like to subscribe to, which ones I've purchased this month, so I just thought I'd do a quick little video showing them this way. So the first one is Simply Cards and Papercraft. This is issue 188, and this is the one that everybody is going crazy for, and that's because it has the free Altenew Daffodil layered die. Now I know that it's landed in Australia the last few days, because some of you have been sharing your pictures and your excitement that you've finally got your hands on it, so hopefully it is pretty much now worldwide. I would imagine the States, you should be getting them as well, and I know some of the Michael Stores stock magazines, and understandably, yeah, there are going to be ones that are a bit later, and you may get them, you know, three, four weeks later, I'll watch just how it goes, but these things don't date, you know, a Daffodil die is going to be something you're going to use time and time again. So yeah, issue 188, Simply Cards and Papercraft. I will share a little link up here to some of the cards that I've made using it, and as always, these magazines are just jam-packed full of amazing inspiration. All of the crafters in our magazines are fantastic, and yeah, that's all I'm going to say about that. I'm not going to go into it too much detail, because it would be a surprise for those of you that obviously are waiting for it, or you know, are going to be getting it, so that's that one. Then I've also got this one here, which I was so excited for, because it has spot the dog. Now, I think spot the dog is everywhere. I mean, it was a book that I had as a young child, so I think this is, I mean, let me know, this is the Eric and Jillian Hill family, so I know that they wrote the book. Yeah, I had it as a young girl, and it's just brilliant, and it's one of these timeless stamp sets, which you can use for, well, here you've got Party Invite, New Home, birthday card, and I've made a couple, and these ones were made three actually, so now spot the dog is very bold and simple lines, and there's not much detail as such going on, like there's no, you don't really have a background. If you ever see the book, you've, you know, you've seen the, I think there was a cartoon as well, I'm really trying to think back now, but anyway, it's very, it's just a block colour, so these cards represent that style really, so you can see there they are very bold and simple, but I like that style, so I've got this little New Home one, I fussy cut them all and put them on some foam adhesive, and there's that one there, and I've just coloured these with my watercolour pencils, and then that one there as well, and just really like them, so I just had a play around with them, but it's one of those ones that I just thought I need to have for when I get asked to do, you know, a birthday card for maybe a, you know, a small child, perfect, like I said, they're the party invitations, and you've got the little bunnies and the chicks which are great for Easter, so there's, you know, there's quite a few things that you'll use that for, but also this was like the little extra, with Creative Stamping Magazine, every single month you get a, a four sheet of stamps, now let me just take this out of the package, this one here is another one of those classic stamp sets, because if you have pets or friends with pets, pretty much everybody will know someone with a, with a dog or a cat or a fish, then grab this stamp set, it's fantastic, and the stamps are also big, I mean, see here's my hand there, and it's just, it's huge, this chair stood out for me, because you can put all of these wonderful little creatures in the chair, you've got really lovely puns, you've got, you are poor some, have a furry, happy birthday, have a perfect day, birthday fishes, and there's a, it's a really lovely image there of the fish in the fishbowl, and I just thought that was lovely, because you don't see that a lot, sorry, you're feeling rough, many hoppy returns, and you've got the bunny and the carrot again, that's perfect for Easter, forever friends, you've got little mouse there, toy, you've got a single, a singular, you've got a single bow, so you can, you know, add that bow to all these animals, you've got the little rope there, the bone, pug and kisses, it's brilliant, so again, if you can ever get your hands on these A4 size stamps, they're always great, because they do themes, so yeah, I just think they work brilliantly, look there, you've got the little kind of bandana, the gorgeous little dashhound dog there, which is my favourite dog, little hat, ball, there's just so many little parts of this, and the cat there with the yarn, fish food, the little flower, honestly, it's just, it's brilliant, and all the dogs are just wonderful, wonderful images, so I'm so pleased I managed to get that one, and then there is the magazine again, full of inspiration, always loads of great ideas in the magazines, and you can see there what I mean by the, the Spot the Dog, see the, the inspiration there is just a real block red background, and then, you know, the Spot the Dog coloured in, so that is the style, but by all means, I mean, you can add shading and anything to it, it's entirely up to you, and you can just see some of the inspiration there, again, I'm not going to go into it too much, but you can see, I mean, that's just another idea there that they've done with the Spot the Dog stuff that we got there, so this one here is, let me just tell you the prices, it's £8.99 UK, obviously prices will vary, all these magazines are available worldwide, I will share the links below, the craft stash links that I share are affiliate links, so all that means is that I get a small percentage, like a commission, but it's no extra charge to you, and they offer 20% off for your first purchase, so if you are outside of the UK, I think it's free postage over £15 in the UK, but if you're outside of the UK, that 20% off will help cover the international postage charges, so have a little look around, I mean, I guess I can't really look into that too much until I physically go to the checkout, so, but they are, all these magazines are available for worldwide shipping, and then the last one I wanted to share was this one here, which is by Card Making a Papercraft, this is issue 193, and it's the March issue, and let me just say that was issue 68 as well for that one, and again, it's a really lovely set, it's slightly smaller than a A4 size, and this is a 40-piece stamp set, and it's happy travels, and the reason I like this, again, I haven't got any stamps like this, but you've got this really lovely caravan, it's like a vintage style caravan, you've got the old style car there, you've got a Vespa, but I love all these extra pieces, like the little suitcases stacked up there, you've got the old vintage plane, you've got hot air balloons, so again, things that you can mix in, these three hot air balloons you can have as a, you know, for a new baby card, you've got these lovely little sentiments, lovers in the air, congratulations, the sky's the limit and just married, and you've got the little kind of the smoke from the exhaust, leaving kind of the heart shape there, so you can have that coming out the back of the car here, or from the caravan, you've got the VW camper van, little passport, little tickets, and I have gone, I haven't got to use them yet, but they also give you a die for the Vespa, and also for, there's like a little banner die there for those little sentiments, so I didn't, I haven't made any cards with this one yet, nor with the A4 dogs, but you will see those coming, but I have gone ahead and done these ones, and I went and sat down one evening and just coloured them, you can see what I mean there, there's your three hot air balloons, I'll bring them up a bit closer in a second, the Vespa, the VW, I mean I was kind of just playing around with whatever colours I wanted really, there's still a few more I still need to do, but this is what I've got so far, I mean just look at that little postcard, how dinky is that, and there's the little, oh grab that one, it's a little ticket, again I've just used my watercolor pencils with these, but these look lovely, these hot air balloons, I've just done some shading there, really really pleased with those, and I love the car, this reminds me of Mr Bean, that's where I got my inspiration for in the colours for the car and the suitcase there, so again if you know Mr Bean or if you google Mr Bean then you'll know what I'm on about, but I used to love watching that and still do, so yeah so that's those ones there, so I just thought I would just share these ones because I will be using them, you'll see them pop up in my blog, I'll share all the links as always there, but whilst they're current and around now, although most of these places do have back copies as well, so I know that Craftstash, they have older copies of magazines and yeah, so you shouldn't have any problems getting hold of these, as far as I'm aware there is stock available in all of them, but I think the one you'll be still trying to get is this one, because it's Altenew and it's just fantastic, but I would highly recommend this one as well if you, you know like I said, if you love doing cards that you make people or people like kind of do orders with you, you know I think pet ones are always popular, the fact that they've got the fishes on there as well as like the bunny and stuff I think is really good and the little dog basket, I forgot that one as well, so yeah so there we have it, so I just thought I'd show you those ones, couple of cards I've made and some of those little stamped images that I've already coloured, I'm going to do some more because you know I love doing the watercolouring and just relaxing and preparing these stamps really, so yeah, so like I said all the links will be shared below and I'll be back again tomorrow with another tutorial, thanks for watching, bye!
