 Hi everybody it's Sam at mix.graph thank you for watching today I'm back with another what did I get video you seem to really like the first one and you really like my concept so I'm going to continue doing it this is 12 and a half meters and these are sold at the range now I first saw this length maybe 18 months ago me and my mum brought 20 rolls but we brought that many to last us and I haven't had to buy any ribbons since so I think in 18 months 20 pound on ribbon and me and my mum always go halves 10 pound for a year and a half worth of ribbon I don't think that's too bad so I was super pleased when I went to the range and that's where all of this is purchased from to find that they have brought back all of the 12 and a half meter spools with the fabric ribbon and that's what I'm stressing it's the fabric ribbon personally for me I don't mind using the satin ribbons but some of them are very cheap and I sometimes get dry skin on my fingers or on your nail or you catch it just on some of the paper and it hitches and it doesn't maybe cut very well so I try to stay away from the satin ones unless they're good quality ones then they're a little bit different but let me just take all the plastic off of these and show you just how nice they are so in total here I've got 125 meters also I just want to stress that these are a pound they are also plain it's just that really nice fabric really good quality yeah you can't go wrong with it and for 12 and a half meters so I've got a really nice cream now these ones you will find in the big bins when you go into the range when you're in the craft section they usually at the end of the aisles they're like big hexagon shaped big bins and they always have these in there so I've got this lovely cream I've got this beautiful coral absolutely love that color really really nice again see the detail it's got little ridges through it as well it's really nice a couple of different lengths as well this is all the half inch it's a really nice almost see that's a that's a corally peach that's a corally red it's not a deep Christmas red and kind of put it against my nails there you see it's got more of an orange tone to it so I've got the red then I got this really nice really kind of happy sky blue a little bit deeper but really again look at that it looks quite turquoise because the light's hitting it but it is a little bit darker so that's the blue they don't have colors on this they're decorative ribbon by craft sensation sensations actually is the batch numbers different because maybe no batch numbers are all the same again if you're buying two rolls if you need for example you're doing something maybe for a wedding or a party and you want a lot check your batch numbers so here at the bottom it will have the number make sure both your spools have the same batch number and then you've got exactly the same colors because they will vary slightly then I've got this beautiful yellow and this these three colors actually inspired reminded me of the cascade card that I shared last week and I done those colors and I just think now how nice those three colored ribbons would have looked with that cascade card but this ribbon will feature you know all the time and you know if you ever do think I wonder what ribbons Sam uses unless I've been given to them through design team product packages like my trim craft it will be the craft sensations and it will be the fabric ribbon really nice kind of peachy very very light peach because you can see those two sit really nice together so they're like your two peach tones and then I got these thinner ones oh no sorry I got that one as well so that's turquoise really lovely color there so I just hold them up on the side but look at all those lovely colors okay then I got this here this beautiful thin orange quarter of an inch with that white stitching going through the center gorgeous and then that's the same pattern for all the others so there's this white one with the green stitching I thought it's going to look so nice in Easter projects and just yeah just lovely fabric for handles and then I got this one here and that's again it's that same coral there so if you ever do like double bows and that and that together look how nice that is so yeah that's why I go mad when I see the 12 and a half meters get it it doesn't stay around for long it does go because after me and mum kind of raided it then we saw it going down and down and down this was 18 months ago and it never ever went back in again now I'm not saying that's for all range stores but I live in Plymouth and we've now just had the superstores that's where the range actually originated from so the owner lives in Plymouth and the superstores amazing now we're getting so much stuff and I think that's why we've been lucky to get these so hopefully they are available in all range stores or a lot of them and if not I'll check online as well and I'll share those links below next I got the sequence now I've got these three and that one and they are all kind of new I think they've just changed kind of the mix but that's lovely one there you see it like mermaid kind of color I haven't seen that one before and I haven't seen these mixes I've seen the colors but not mixed this way that one just screams St Patrick's Day look at all those lovely different green tones but I really struggle with the especially like the deep look at that lovely deep olive color and just that emerald green that's just gonna look lovely and then this one here let you got the lovely gold you've got the real kind of browns there bronze colors rose gold and then this one here you've got gunmetal silver white and black and they're just really nice unusual colors and now I've just done those monochrome cards that I shared last week I can add these sequins to that as well just for a little bit more texture so yeah a pound again try not to spend more than a pound they are out there just look around and sometimes it's you know have a little look on the internet as well because if this isn't in your range store it should be online and again I will check and share those links so got that then I picked up these and these are new I hadn't seen them before I'd say new as in they're new that I've seen and been in the range they haven't been there before and these are by dovecraft and they're 24 paper blossoms and this is aqua amethyst peach and yellow and they are really really cute now um when I've received some of my design team packets packages they have had these paper flowers so we had them in the fairy tales collection but they do different obviously the patterns to match in colors and stuff but I just saw how lovely are these now if you haven't used these before they come together but there's so many kind of sandwiched together you see there there's actually four amongst that I know three you take them apart and then if I just grab my little mat here and I just like to kind of shape them turn them over I like to give them a bit more shape again and then do it that way and again grab another one here and you can change you can mix and match the sizes and the prints you know you've got a lovely one with hearts on you've got bigger yellow there slightly different yellow that's more of a daffodil yellow I guess and you even got a different style again there as well look at the bigger ones at the back and they are the sandwiched together but you do that and then get another one there just shape that a little bit but this these are good cheap flowers so if you don't want to die cut lots of things and then you stick them together put a bit of glue in there and I'm just bringing up you just get these really nice little flowers so yeah so they are a pound and I think that's a really good bargain love that one I love the aqua just look at all those different greens you got the turquoise there you got polka dot that one there's got the hearts and there is loads in I know it's 24 but I'm sure you get the odd extras because again if you see them I recommend them you will see me featuring them all the time because I use lots of flowers then just a couple of little extras that I threw in I really loved these wooden little bunny rabbit embellishments and I'm going to be using these in my up and coming Easter week which I do every year and I thought these are going to look lovely on my gift bags gift tags gift boxes cards all kinds of things so you get two four six eight and that was a pound then I thought that was quite good and they've got they've got foam adhesive already on the back but I'll probably add a bit of stronger glue as well which leads me then nicely to the last thing I got and that's glue you may have seen me use this already before this is the dovecraft silicone glue and I get some people emailing me saying that you know they don't use or don't like to use a hot glue gun and I totally get that it I've burnt myself on them before and they aren't everybody's cup of tea if you don't like using hot glue and you still want a real thick glue then I recommend silicone glue purely because it's really good when you're attaching your fabric bows or any kind of heavier embellishments it dries clear and it says here it's totally clear stays flexible it's non-toxic and it's a 3d permanent adhesive now the reason I like it is because it obviously gives dimension as well to your projects it's also good value for money so you don't have to go out of your way on expensive glue don't even use this piece here because it does tend to get clogged up I just take off the end here and then I would just have my bow and I just literally put a little bit on there and then stick it down it doesn't dry instantly so just stick it down put it to one side just like you would with any other your other kind of you know wet glues things like this but um yeah just thought I'd throw that one in there as well just so that you so I know I always like to hear about different glues that people use and why they like them so yeah so I will share all the links in the video description below and that's it for this week thanks for watching bye
