 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. So this week I have got a few things to show you. First of all I've got some bits from the works. I was in town and I always pop in there. We've got quite a nice sized one actually so well there's a good range of the craft supplies there. So first of all I've got this clear stamp set. I have seen it in there before and I haven't picked it out but actually I thought I do really like the butterfly images and I like that there is lots of room to be able to colour them myself. So these are going to be really nice with my watercolours and I plan on using my embossing powders. So you know emboss with silver and then add the watercolour. I think it'll look really nice and for a pound I just think that's really really good. So and you've also got that sentiment there make today amazing which I thought was really nice. So yeah for a pound you can't go really go wrong. Then I picked up these ones here and again I've got the slightly bigger size. So these were again I believe only a pound simply creative collection they're all individually you know they've all got their own individual adhesive they're not on a strip again which I like so I've got them. Then these ones I love I haven't actually opened them yet they're silver doilies. Now I've got purple I've got white I've got cream and I've got a doily dye but look at the detail let me get something here we go let's use this here there you can just there you go aren't they beautiful really really pretty and these are great to pop on a card and then kind of layer up on top so you get eight although it feels like there's more I don't know they are quite thick and they've got a coating on the back as well probably just see there we go it's just kind of shining there so yeah I thought they were really good again a pound couldn't see any other colours but I haven't looked online so if there are any colours I'll share the links below as I always do anyway so I've got that one then I've seen this one in there for ages as well and I hadn't picked it up but I've been doing some more stuff in my planner again two pounds it's a really nice size you can see there against my hand it's a really nice size big stump set there so yeah pick that one up then I've picked up these and I'm so glad that these were in there so these are the ten wooden dowels a pound I have a very nice gift bag project planned with these which will be coming up very soon I'm not entirely sure when because I've got to shuffle a few other tutorials around but if you are in the works you know for the next few days and you like to do my gift bags get these dowels so I've brought three packs because they're just handy to have you can cut them easily as well and you can yeah you can cut them with scissors or obviously if you've got a little saw as well but uh yeah those of you that follow and watch a lot of my gift bags you've yeah you've seen me do things similar but these I'm hoping yeah it's going to turn out really nice then I picked up some more six by six craft um self-sealed craft bags to keep my finished cards in so I'm running out of my six by six so I've just stocked up on them you get 45 for £1.50 so yeah I've got 90 there for three quid which yeah I think is a really good deal so I always get them from the works and then I was really happy that I got the last one in WH Smith and this is the latest papercraft essentials and it's the one with Wallace and Gromit oh isn't it adorable you get this really nice stamp set bring it up a bit closer there and you can see anybody outside of the UK I'm not sure if Wallace and Gromit is something you will know of I imagine maybe I would have thought it's shown on other you know channels around the world but this is just uh Wallace and Gromit you just love them I can't wait again to colour those in so I've got them but the the nice thing is is like you also get all of these papers and they are really really nice they're exactly the same as my the Father Christmas ones that I done last Christmas is the same kind of setup it's the same magazine that done it I always try and get them when they do these I guess more branded stamps and kind of kits so this is Wallace and Gromit that was the Father Christmas from the movie and the books and then I've also got the spot the dog I think that was papercraft essentials yeah I'm pretty sure it was anyway so this is the all the papers you get so these are all pre-die cut they've got the silver foiling around them so you've got all these here lovely big tags as well with love just for you happy birthday these are great for Father's Day um coming up they're just really really nice love them all crackers about cheese time for tea uh Wallace inventing for Britain time for tea put the kettle on lad cheese Gromit silly old pooch they're all different as well and then you've got yeah happy Father's Day happy birthday old chum cracking job lovely like trims there to put on on your cards and then these papers are gorgeous so you've got this one here you've got the wallpaper that's another wallpaper pattern but these are nice thick papers that one there's just got put the kettle on and tea Wallace and Gromit and then it repeats itself again that's like another wallpaper that one I really like I think that's really fun the colors are so vibrant they're great that one there with all the little cheese and the teapot you've got the bones there and then you've got Gromit and then you've got that one I just think they are so so fun absolutely love this so I was really pleased that I managed to because I've been looking for you know a while well I say a while I've been looking every time I've gone into a different shop and they haven't got it I was really pleased to get this one here and yeah as always filled with loads of inspiration so I look forward to because I haven't had a good read of it yet so I will be doing that later I also picked up a couple more brushes I needed some slightly thicker ones I've got a lot of thin ones but I've and I've got a few wide ones but I wanted some different styles so I just got these again from WH Smith about the 18 and the half inch they can all come off now and I just need to give them a little soak and yeah they should be working perfectly so yeah just a couple more brushes then to put my brushes in I was in the charity shop I absolutely love this so this is the pampered chef collection which I know is not cheap and this was a pound and it spins it's a lazy susan and I absolutely love this I couldn't believe it when I saw it I thought oh my god straight away now I am going to decorate this some of you might be like no don't do it I put this gold washi tape on it but I've got an idea that I'm going to paint the bottom part I'm going to use some of my gold flakes I think and then I'm going to make a vinyl on my cricket and I'm going to have a saying some word along here I'm not sure yet maybe create or something I don't know but this is going to be for just all of my brushes so I've got my blending brushes I've got my spatulas just more of my mix media I guess kind of thing so I've got all of my water brushes there but look at it how good is that perfect so those ones are going to go in the top there you see what I mean so I've got those ones and I've got these are makeup brushes but they're really good as well for blending but I needed a couple of these ones that's what I've got so yeah need to sort it all out a little bit more I have some more brushes that I need to kind of pop in there as well but yeah I've given it a clean up it wasn't too dirty at all really I think it had very light use but I just love how freely it twirls around so I've been using it already and it works a charm then another charity shop find I keep everything in glass jars I love glass jars because you can see what you've got and sometimes if I'm kind of I guess looking for inspiration I will just look at my stuff and I'll be like oh I've got loads of them what can I do so in here Naomi if you're watching these are all your red petals that you sent me so I pop them all in there and a lot of those flowers that I shared in one of my previous weeks what did I get and I just said they were a bit naff I've taken them all apart and they're all in there and yeah they will get used so this is a large one the reason I love this one is it's got that kind of bubble look to it and so it looks really authentic I love it and for a pound I couldn't believe it when I saw that one so I grabbed it okay and then lastly I received a really lovely package from my friend Tati she has sent me a card before in the past and we've been you know chatting on Facebook and she's put together this really lovely package for me which I was completely overwhelmed with first of all I just want to start off by saying a huge thank you I've already thanked her but again I just want to say you are a lovely lady and what you have sent me is just amazing so in here she she's from Brazil but she lives in Dublin she's just come back from Brazil on holiday and she picked up some rings for me and I was like oh my gosh so she's made this gift box isn't that gorgeous beautiful beautiful gift box and in here let me just show you she's made all of the the thumb foam and she's cut all the little you know holes there to put the rings in and I've got these rings and I can show you they all fit so I'm kind of in between sizes so I have it obviously sometimes I might have it in the middle but I could also have that on that finger but that is just right up my street I love that so much so I've got that one and then I've got this one here I do have one similar but I think my one's a little bit smaller again this kind of fits between the two amazing love it this one's beautiful love the sparkle look at that so pretty you've got me spot on you really have you've done so well they're beautiful these ones are adjustable this one's got a butterfly in it she knows I love butterflies and it's got like a glass kind of top there on it and then this one here's just got this lovely big flower again this is adjustable so I'll probably have it on that finger again isn't that pretty I've been very spoiled so that's those ones and then she picked up some other ones here I've got this one which again is beautiful got all the faceted sides love it beautiful beautiful and then this one here this is more for going out again very very glittery but yeah just really really lovely very very thoughtful so I was really taken about by that and then she sent me some crafty bits first of all I just want to show you I'm not going to open up I keep putting that ring on the wrong side there we go but she sent me this card here which is beautiful these are the flowers from natures grace I recognize those and she's put thank you for being amazing she sent me another kind of letter as well but that I'm going to just keep for myself but she does parchment and it's a it's a technique that I believe was you know originated from Brazil so it's done a lot over there and I have seen it before with the card that she'd sent me and I hadn't seen it before that so she's done another one for me so she's done all this herself all this parchment it's just amazing so so pretty so thank you so much and she sent me a magazine as well along with some nail magazines as well so I can do some nail art and inside here she's just put this thank you so much for all your hard work and for being an endless source of inspiration for me your friend Tati and I did have a little tear in my eye yeah I mean I don't do this for this reason to receive gifts it's just a bonus I guess I just do it because I love it and I love you know to read your comments and I love that I inspire you guys so yes that was just such a lovely thing to receive so that's the card this is how the parcel arrived and look how beautiful her writing is the dream I would love to be able to do that kind of you know writing I would love to do brush pen lettering you know calligraphy all that kind of stuff and I have tried really I have but I just seem to fail I'm just not very good so when this box arrived I thought it was just so pretty I'm going to keep that stamp as well because I like to keep stamps so yeah thank you again you are just lovely so the other few bits that she sent well I say few she sent a lot of things but I've got these flowers here these are foam Iranian ones bring them down a bit there so if I open one up there really nice size as well I think you just need to put kind of stuff on there just take that off these are going to look great again on gift bags and stuff but aren't they pretty really nice like mauve kind of color I guess and then I've got the cream ones and these I've actually got a spare glass um jar she's also sent me all of these and these are like little buds again I've never seen this before look I've got absolutely tons look at all of this again she said she had lots herself and she was looking for inspiration as well and what she can do with them so give me some time but I will be using these tatty and hopefully you know you'll get some inspiration from that but aren't they really nice I love the different colors in them I think they're really really sweet so I'll probably have to break them all down so don't think they are all going to fit in there well I don't know I might be alright actually because you can squash them down a bit so a little look you know I think I can just about do a stick that one on top do that one that way as well there you go need to sort them out a bit but that's their new home and that's another thing again like I've said have it in glass and you can see it so now I will be reminded to use those and these ones here will fit in that other big glass jar that I've got and then she sent me some lace and look at this is beautiful I've got this one here if you can see all of these pieces so I'm going to carefully cut them in you know I might have them some of them together but my plan is to cut them and have that on a card that'd look beautiful on a wedding card or you know anniversary something like that but also a really special birthday card so I'm going to be incorporating my lace there into cards and then this one again because I love butterflies look at that it's gorgeous I couldn't believe it and actually that one it didn't get lost but it kind of was behind everything else in the box so it was one of the last things I saw there's one on its own there again they're going to look so nice on cards really pretty and on gift bags you imagine an acetate gift bag and you've got these kind of all going up the side oh I've got so many ideas so yeah again really really kind of you such a lovely gesture so thank you and then in here it says Brazilian chocolate filled with flavoured truffles now you all saw my excitement when the wonderful Sandy from New Zealand sent me all that New Zealand chocolate so now I've got some Brazilian chocolate so in here she sent me I've got passion fruit I have orange I have cherry strawberry Brazilian peanut candy that sounds amazing coconut yum yum yum and cherry cream there's not one there I don't like maybe orange I'm not going to lie I've never been a big fan of chocolate orange like Terry's chocolate orange and stuff I've never been keen on but every single one I'm really looking forward to trying the passion fruit so yeah I've now I've done this video I can eat them because I've had it a few days before I've got around to doing the video so yeah again so I've got chocolate I've got craft supplies I've got magazines and I've got a beautiful card so yeah what else can you ask for really it's just lovely really really nice as you can probably tell in my voice yeah it really took me back so I wasn't you know I wasn't expecting that there you go guys that's most of the stuff there there was also some kind of felt that Tati had sent me and I've got ideas for that I've already tried die cutting it and it works so again if you're watching this Tati because she did ask me what she thought would you know work best for it she was kind of a bit stuck with what to do with it so I'm playing around with it at the moment and once I've kind of worked out what I'm going to do with it I will share it in a tutorial and like I said a lot of nail magazines as well so I've got lots of reading to do which is great but yeah that's everything I've got this week so magazine can't wait to crack on with I'm going to start now go and sort out and put all these other crafty bits away whilst munching through all of that chocolate and probably making myself sick I'm going to display my beautiful card there as well so thank you guys again for watching I know lots of you really enjoy these nails so it's nice to share it it's a nice way of me to kind of I guess in a way catalog things so you know if I ever forget something I can always revert back to these so it's quite handy that way as well but yeah lots of crafting you'll see these things being used remember to pick these up if you see them and yeah I'll be back tomorrow with another tutorial thanks for watching bye
