 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. So this is the what's in the box, so that means it's my latest trim craft design team package. It is a big one and I am so excited. I've had a little peek, but I thought I would wait until I start filming so you can get my kind of first reactions and I will talk you through everything and I will share links to as much as possible as always in the video description box, so let's see what's inside. Okay so first of all I'm going to share all of the Dovecraft essentials that we've received. So this is their newest launch, so I have here six by six envelopes in the craft card and in the white card stock and again the same here in the five by seven. So five by seven, six by six, 300gsm, what can't you not like? This is my preferred weight so I was really pleased to see that. You get eight in a pack, yeah really really nice. So those will get used and will be gone within no time at all. Then we have these. Now we were getting teased on the, we've got a private Facebook group with all the design team and Kat in head office was teasing us with these and it was quite funny actually because she was making words up and singing songs and things like that, so anyway. So we have here the metallic letter tiles in the rose gold foil and this is in the iridescent foil. If I just open them up, I mean there's loads, like it's not just like two of you know one letter, you've got loads already, I can see five or six of the A's alone and they're really nice, they're really nice and thick but look at that lovely rose gold. So those are going to get used and I can already see some fun projects with those and then there's the iridescent and you know how much, look at that holographic finish there, you know how much I love the Dovecraft holographic card. I use that on everything at one point, so these are definitely going to get used a lot but aren't those cool, really really like those. In total you get 150, I didn't see that on the top, yeah 150 pieces, so that's really really cool. Then we've got these, these are adhesive sentiment toppers, again I just love these for just speed really, you don't have to worry about getting your stamps out all the time, sometimes you just want a quick topper. So you've got happy birthday with the silver foil and the gold and then you've got thank you again with the gold and then the silver, get one of them out there, so you get 12 in a pack but you can see there that lovely foiling and they've got the adhesive foam there on the back and that's them there in the thank you, so there's the gold, really nice and the silver, love those, really nice size. Now I've got the thank you and the happy birthday but there's also with love and congratulations as part of that as well. Then we've got these 100 pieces of wooden bunting, oh and it's, you know that smell when it's, what's it called, when the burnt wood, oh it's really nice, so these are like this, you can thread your ribbon through, yeah that's it laser cut, you can see there where it's been cut, it's that, I love it, it's that burnt smell but these work brilliantly obviously to just paint or you can use your inks but also they're great for heat embossing, so if you add your VersaMark and then sprinkle your embossing powders, you'll have really nice bunting with an embossed finish so yeah they're going to look great and then obviously just feed through like probably a baker's twine or something with those but 100 pieces so again that's going to last a good while, you know what that's going to work really well with and that's the secret garden collection so yeah they get used. Then I've got 10 of these iridescent photo frames, the Dovecraft are known for doing their photo frames but what I like about these is that you can use them for handles and I have used them in one of the tutorials that I done for Trimcraft we use in the Happy You collection so but look at that, oh it's like a disco in my hand, absolutely love it, so yeah eight of those then I got this, now I don't have one so I was actually looking the other day at getting one and I'm so glad I didn't so thank you Trimcraft because this is something that I do need and for anybody that doesn't know it's a gem pickup tool so take this out so it comes in a nice little case and it's got a really pretty, it's got like purple like crystals running through the middle, let me just show it on it even says Dovecraft on the side there, how cute is that? So basically this here I imagine you could probably not that I imagine you need to so I think it'll last a long time but you could replace but this is like sticky so it's like a it's almost like a wax feel to it but what you can do so if you remember I brought these and literally you just pick it up and it's a waxed, a tacky wax tip and then you push it back down and obviously you'd have a desive on the other side so it would just kind of come off that straight away but look look how easy it is to pick up even the smallest of detail and then this end here is to just push down you know and stick it in place so yeah really really like that and you can mold this it's a moldable tip so that's brilliant and I like that it's got this little case because obviously nothing's going to get damaged and it just slides in its little home but I really really like that make sure I get that bit in there properly okay so next we've got these two really nice sentiment stamp sets so one is your occasions which is this one here and this one's general and I I love both but the general one's really stood out because it's just I love the font take it out of the plastic there put it on the back of this you can see it much better but I like that they are longer I prefer longer landscape kind of sentiments as opposed to portrait style so I know these are nice and they will work with things but I really like all these you've got made with love lucky to have a friend like you let's celebrate that's probably going to get used tons for me wishing you a day of happiness that's really nice and sending hugs and happy thoughts but then you've also got all my love so in love with you especially for you fantastic news life is better with you from me to you just because just to let you know and make a wish really really good I like that one you get 15 and then this one again really nice font you've got thinking of you get well soon just for you always in my thoughts thank you happy Easter happy Mother's Day sorry you're leaving happy birthday with sympathy and happy Father's Day so again you've got something for for everything there which is great yeah like I say you can never have too many sentiment stamps because it's something that you will always go to so yep they're going to get well used and then we've been given these rainbow colored ribbons look at these really really like these love the real Christmas red love that kind of lime kind of green that's coming up is almost white but it's it's not it is like a lavender color I don't know if it actually says the colors on here no it doesn't but yeah really really nice love those and then we move on to the papers now that's just my thing I absolutely love papers you could just give me tons of papers and I'll be happy so this is the new making memories now I was lucky enough to be given the sample one when I went up to visit head office so I've had this one in my stash in the eight by eight for a while and I created some projects for the guys at head office but it's nice to have the 12 by 12 so I can start making some nice gift bags and things okay so in this one you get three spot UV designs two glitter designs and half double sided papers and they always give you a little kind of you can see down there and also you get your overview so this is the latest first edition release and if we start from the back and I will flick through now I've got quite a few paper pads to go through with you so I'm not going to go spend too long on it but at the back here you get this one and then the reverse is this one here then you've got this one here with the reverse being this one it's really nice star and then you get that one there they're almost like doodle kind of images I really like them love this one the rainbows and the hearts and on the opposite side you get the balloon hearts and these are really nice to be able to cut out as well you get this one here again easy to cut out and then you have that one there on the reverse love the birds there and you got some of them look like they're kissing and then you've got this kind of ones on their own as well and then you get that on there this is

designer papers here so we've got this lovely beautiful one there we've got that one there which is a good background this one here see I was fussy cutting this on the eight by eight pad so it's nice to have them even bigger now really like that one this one here and if you see there can you see all the different texture really nice that one again it's got that gloss over the top this one again I fussy cut that one on the smaller versions it's nice to see these bigger images that one I've made a gift bag with love that one and then you've got your stripe gorgeous absolutely stunning so yeah so that's the latest first edition pad okay so next I've got the new paper addicts release so I've got one two three four five I've got six paper pads here so I'm going to be really busy but these are the 20 so you get 24 double-sided sheets with 24 designs 200 gsm acid and lingon-free so it's perfect if you're scrap booking the good thing about this is though is that they are all double-sided and everything works really nice together so this is the retro days love the palette of colors here is something I don't have it's really nice to have that kind of mustard yellows the grays with the kind of hints of the brown through it really do like this one so if I click through so you get this lovely one here and then you get that design get this one here this one love this it's like kind of watercolor brushstrokes and then you've got the triangles gift bags are going to and boxes are going to be so nice with these papers that one love this love the feathers look at the other side I mean they clash together but don't they some of these remind me of like my nan's wallpaper from years ago or carpets but I love it I think it's really really fun and this one here there is a certain designer that has this kind of style that I like and it's reminding me of that and I think that's probably why I'm drawn to it so much love that one there this gorgeous in fact they work quite well together and then like I said the reverse side's perfect so if you've got a gift bag and then you fold that over the top it's just going to look so nice you get this one here and then you got this one and then this one I love just that plain grid it reminds me of like the safety glass it's got that look to it which again is really retro and vintage so I do love that style and then this top sheet's brilliant although it's not one not top sheet but you got three of them but it's great for cutting fussy cutting so you can make nice little tags and stuff to match obviously your boxes and your gift bags so that is the retro days so next we have the once upon a dream again all the same information but this one here you've got lots of butterflies and ballerinas it's got a really nice palette of colors again I love that yellow with the purple they always give us a little kind of fact sheet and on this one here they've said it's a sweet palette of pastel purple yellow and pink hues so yeah I really like this one and again just work from the back so we have this one that one there again they're really nice to fast cut in fact you could die cut them with a circle die that come out quite nicely love this one oh it's the same one I just thought then I'm sure I've seen it this one with ballerinas then you've got your butterflies with again ballerinas in a different color love that one really really pretty so you've got more ballerinas the bows you've got polka dots the flowers you've got hearts with the ballerinas uh ballerinas shoes it looks really nice butterflies and this says

driving range I guess I'm not really down with all the golfing terms but there's your hole and the flag and a golf club then you've got the stars I like that one with the archery that's your archery kind of target that's the word I was looking for with your arrow do you know I'm actually quite good at this yeah I must admit I've done this before and I always get it like yeah I'm pretty good so

are really easy to fussy cut that's just a really fun paper pack love that one fever forever okay and then I'm down to the last two and these are my favorites and the reason I think the tropical bliss just does it for me is it does really remind me of when I used to live in Malaysia and you'll see my reasons for that so from the back here this one reminds me it's got a bit of a camouflage kind of print to it also looks like maybe the footprints of an animal again I don't know how well that's picking up that's really cool so this is something I would use kind of as my mat layer and then kind of build from that and then the other side is this one here I don't know how well it's picking up it's kind of got like distressed areas like brown kind of patches throughout it so again that looks really cool but then you move on to things like this and I just absolutely love this so it has the hibiscus flower which is the flower of Malaysia and it would be everywhere they'd even have like street lights in the shape of the flower so it's really really cool and I love it it's beautiful flower and then also you've got that lovely parrot image and then you go into this print here so it's like a chevron print so again that backs that really nicely then this one here is just stunning so again it's got more of the hibiscus in the yellow but then you've got these beautiful water lilies and you'd see these kind of things everywhere in the ponds and just the lovely greenery and you've got that beautiful dragonfly but I think that's just such a stunning print and then it's backed with this one here it's kind of like a tortoise shell kind of pattern and again you've got these cool just prints to match all of the more detailed kind of patterns this one here and you've got that cool like polka dot and look at that one I mean look how great those go together but look all with the water lilies over the top and that one's sat on the actual lily pads oh look at it stunning that is going to make a stunning gift bag or the lid to a gift box oh my god my mind and you could fussy cut one of those just oh love it I get so excited over patterned paper that one love it just makes me want to go back look at that together you've got that cool print there these here these remind me of almost like Moroccan tiles so it's kind of going away from the whole Malaysian thing but yeah that's what that kind of reminds me of but again really nice to kind of fussy cut and then this one here look I love that that's the toucan love this and I've seen one of these up close and they are magnificent animals they are just incredible so yeah that's really good love this one can you imagine cutting the little toucan having him kind of poking his head out from one of these leaves or something but yeah I love that I think it's such a cool print and you've got this one here and then you've got a mustard coloured one there another nice one with kind of the soil your foliage and stuff look the two of them together isn't that a lovely page that it's just so easy to cut out oh I don't know what to do first and then got that one there and that's finished with this one here which is a nice one to use as like trims so again you can cut sections of that out and line it on your project so love it it's gorgeous yeah tropical bliss my favorite and then you've got the last one which is forever and always I think the reason why this is one of my favorites is because a lot of the images are watercolor prints and I just love that so again from the back here so you've got this one look at the way it comes up from the bottom that would make a lovely scrapbook layout background so that's really cute and you've got the stripes there on the background then you've got this heart one that gorgeous against the stripes that's really fun and again those would cut perfectly so that's a always a plus nice big thick they're just brushstrokes there again I think that's why I like it I just love that kind of subtle parts of it and you've got these here which are just again look like watercolor painted flowers and you've got the hearts there as well love that one it's one of my favorites again they've all been kind of painted with watercolor just think they look really cool and then this one here really nice then you got the hearts again but smaller this is another favorite just love all of those flowers all kind of really kind of jam together there on that sheet and then you just got that real nice kind of ombre of the peaches there so that will work with many of the the papers then you've got a smaller version there then you've got the larger one which I love again you can easily fussy cut all of these blooms and kind of cluster them together on a card or something so that's going to look really fun then you've got it again there you got that one it's really cool seeing how well they come up and then this is lovely she got happily ever after again really easy to cut these out and then you've got this one here so fall in love so just fall in love but in all different fonts so again that's really nice and then on the other side you've got the small little hearts and you got the heart shape there it's like a wreath effect the xoxo I think that's brilliant again it's all done in watercolor so it's really fun and then you've got the ombre in a more of a pinky pinky peach with forever and always so again this is this is a good valentine's one but it's also great for weddings so that's what I will certainly be using it for is those yeah weddings engagements things like that so it's going to tick a lot of boxes and then you've got that one there with the polka dot with the love and then the last one again one of my favorites is that kind of marble effect in the peach and then that's finished with kind of a bit of everything throughout the pack you've got the xoxo isn't it gorgeous really is beautiful love it okay so there's my most recent trim craft design team package and it's brilliant I love it all these things can cross over with these paper pads already these tiles are going to be used and then I've got the sentiments
