 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today I just wanted to come in and do a kind of a quick video, I just wanted to show you this really cool, it's called the Dewcross Papermainia Sweet Treat and it's an A4 Ultimate Dica and Paper Pad. Now I did share this briefly in my What Did I Get video and then I wanted to do a separate video on it just to show you in more detail exactly what you can do with these. I have had these kind of packs in the past and you just literally have everything you need to make cards, gift bags and then there's all kind of pre-made little boxes in there and envelopes and things like that. So yeah so this is the A4 one and then what you get, your first sheet is all these stickers, you've got your alphabet and numbers and you just peel them off there and you can see they come away and then these ones are beautiful, I love the font on these and again if I just lift it off they just peel straight off and you can stick them onto your projects so I thought that was really handy and then you have there's all the rest of the alphabet and the numbers and then you get all these little kind of pieces that you can pop out. So this is like a little tag so you take this piece out here, now like I said in one of their other ones I've had, can't remember the theme but they had these in so you just fold them over then you have a little tab on each side which is where you add your glue and then you pop out the middle bit and if you imagine you stick all that down like so and then you just put out a corresponding little tab here so you'll have enough of these tabs we've got one two three four five six and then you've got one two three four five six so you just find one that's going to match and it will slide in and it just makes a really cute little gift tag like so. Now you can add these in your planners and things like that if you want but I think they look really nice kind of hanging from a gift bag and then you can write two and then as you know they can pull this piece out and then on the back you could have a little message as well so they're really sweet so I'm going to be making everything up in this pack I'm just giving you a brief little overview and then I'm going to have some fun and make it all up and you've got these little tags here as well I think they're just extra decoration I will find out then you've got the bows I've used these before again they're brilliant really quick to do so again if I just take this one out they all match so there's that one and then it's matching pieces here and again I'm going to curl it and do it all properly but you will curl those around stick the back sides like so and then that whole thing sticks on there now you'll see there's these little joins if you grab yourself just a little nail file you can just literally buff them off or you can trim them with a pair of scissors I'm sure how well it's tiny see just the little joins there like I said I just tend to just do that and just buff some off straight away or yeah trim there is a little hole there through the middle as well so you can add some string around it as well or some little little diamond tee or something in the middle but aren't they cute just to kind of you know set off your gift boxes and bags and stuff so again I'm going to make all of the bows up then you've got all these trims which again are nice if you wanted to add say one of those bows with a belly band I'd pull this piece off here like so if I put together that bow roughly and then if you imagine put it on this kind of strip and now you could wrap that around a gift box you could have it on your lid you can put it at the top of a gift bag or you could have that right through a card so there's loads of ways to use this and again I'm going to be showing you all the little projects that I've made then we get into the real thumb bits I love all these so these are all the different biscuits again if you're in the UK you will be very familiar well I guess again I don't know how worldwide these things are but for me these were like my childhood sweets which I briefly or treats even that I I briefly spoke about in my what did I get video but you've got the pink wafers bourbon biscuits which are my favorite rich tea fingers you've got the iced ring jammy dodger another iced ring that was like a shortbread thing I still can't remember the name and there's another iced ring and then you've got the tags and I just think these are going to look look lovely just popped out put a little hole punch in there put some ribbon have it dangling down you could do a real nice little cluster you know a little dangle hanging on something I don't know I've got all kinds of ideas but I think they're great these are your little gift boxes it's all done for you so it's perfect for if you just need to make really quick or if somebody's asked you for something and you maybe you know just haven't got the time to sit down and score and do it all yourself then it is handy sometimes to have these pieces you just go along and just burnish I ripped that a bit there I have to put a bit of glue on that one but you just go along fold everything in fold in your tabs on the side there you can fold in the bottom so the good thing about this is you can make them all up and then they can store flat because you don't actually need any glue for this piece because you can see there how it will pop in once that's glued down it just all pops in and then this here just folds in like so you get a really cute box but now you can decorate it you've got all these sentiments you've got little sweets so again I'm going to go through and show you just how much you can get out of one of these packs because they are very handy they're great if you want to do a party you've got you know your children your grandchildren and they're going to have their birthday party how nice you can make all of these up with this one pack so you get lots there you can see all these boxes in all the different prints and then at the end well not the end we're not even halfway through but you've got all these extra bits and pieces you've got little tags you've got little these kind of hole punch kind of protectors or ring protectors so you just fold that over and yeah you can see it decorates the side of your papers so again in your planners these are really good you've got all these tags to hang out you've got the biscuits again there which are great you've got these little tabs here so again if you've got a file you fold that over your page and you've got your bourbon biscuit I think it's brilliant but it's also nice to put on a card you can have a little tab on the side of the card so again i'm going to be making all these bits got that there then you've got these big envelopes these are always nice and handy these ones here just pop out again just follow the score lines like so and then you fold each one over itself just like you would seal up the top of a cardboard box like so again you can pop a little bit of ribbon around that but then these pieces here you can pop inside and you can write a little message on them so it's almost like yeah that's like the little card but you can write something on the back there and that will sit inside they're just lovely just really fun so you've got more here so these ones are slightly different so these are well I guess more traditional style envelopes so this one here fold in those sides and then you've got the curved piece at the top so you'd fold that one in first and stick those down actually I'd do it that way stick the sides in stick that one down yeah and then that one will stick over the top and there's your little envelope so how nice will that be hanging off like a gift bag or a gift box for example again more bits and pieces there then you've got these sections you can make little mini albums you can make an organizer you've got like a to-do list just a little note to say notes then you've got these little pockets like so this one folds over this one folds in on itself so you put glue on there you'd fold this one up so you put glue on there and there fold them in all in and then this is your top one like so and then you've got these little bits and pieces that you can add into it but again just makes a nice little gift card case or you can you know add it into your mini albums all kinds of stuff so you've got quite a few of them and then you get onto your papers so I'm going to make some gift bags with these got that great paper there two of each of those sheets so you've got this one here you get three of this one so again I'm going to make a gift bag and I'm going to make a card to match and again this one here I thought that one because you've just got the one would look really nice a scrapbook layout so I'm going to keep that one spare I may not do show anything with that one but I will eventually do a scrapbook layout with that because I just love all the sweet treats of sweet treats around the outside then this one here again I've got two pieces so I'll make a gift bag love that one there be another gift bag and then you've got the sprinkles more sweet treats it's making me hungry this paper pack and then you've got your planes another one there with some of the same images the pinks and then at the very bat you've got vellum beautiful vellum really really lovely that matches all of those papers really really fun I love the sprinkle one once you put this against white it really pops as well so that is a quick overview of what you get in one of these bumper packs there is so much in here and I am now going to make as much as I can with it just so you really get to see exactly what's in there but like I said I think these are perfect if you just want to kind of make them all up and keep them all spare so they're ready to go when you need them but also if you've got a party then this is all you need because it will do everything for you you could even make bunting out of the big sheets of paper so you could have decoration there as well so yeah so I'm going to make up as much as I can okay so I have had a really really good time making lovely little projects with this collection so I had an idea I'm going away on holiday with my girlfriends next week and I thought it'd be really nice to give them all a little treat something to just put maybe by the bedside so we're staying in a really nice barn so I think I'm going to do what I am because I've done it but we're all going to have a little bag each here I'll show you what I've done with them all in a minute and then what I've done to remember the holidays I've made a mini album with all of this collection so with the paper I've made these gift bags and I'm going to make one here now so you'll get to see how to make these really easy just simple little kind of paper bag gift bags that's what we call them and then on the on each one I have one of the envelopes that come with the kit so you saw those and you just pop it out put it all together it's really easy and I'm going to put a little note in here a little card which I'll do off camera and then I've just got these little bits here so that one says you're a real gem and then what I'm going to do with the stickers here is I'm going to personalize it so for example this one here can be for Haley so I'm going to put H for Haley okay and then that's just going to go like so and then I have added the bow along the bottom with the trim that come with it as well and I've just finished it off with a little gem and the peg was from my own stash so that's what I've done with all of them and then inside are these boxes so they're the boxes that you make with the kit and I'm laughing to myself because I didn't have any and I had to go out and get some some of you might already know what I'm going to say but when I saw the size of these boxes I thought to myself I'm pretty sure they're going to fit a tonic's teacake and they fit it perfectly so how cute I've put these ones with the little bow on top and then you open it up and look inside it fits like a glove it's literally meant to be so everybody has a little tonic's teacake and then also I'm going to fill the rest of the bag up with just little sweets that are on this kind of collection so I might put a little bourbon biscuit and a custard cream in there and then when we have a cup of tea in the morning then everyone can kind of dunk their biscuit in the in the in their tea I just think it's a really nice little gift to do and I know my friends will love it they will say oh god that's so you Sam what have you done you're so sweet kind of thing because yeah I kind of do that stuff when we go away I'll do like the silly little gifts so yeah I absolutely adore it so I have used so much of this kind of kit and they're the rest of the little boxes there with the tonic's teacake in and these are going to be little spares that I'll just give them all as well because there's enough for us to all have to each so the stickers will be used for that and then in here I have used all the rest of the papers all the little cutouts I've used the vellum I've added the pom pom trim myself and also these binder rings and my own now this mini album is one that I made last Christmas and I'm going to link the tutorial for that up here so if you just head over to that then you'll be able to make this and it's dead simple and then even the little kind of ring protectors I've used on this so basically just open it up you've got lots of room for photos these will hold four by six photos and you can get up to 40 photos in this album so I am going to fill this album with photos of our glee holiday and then I will kind of give you a little I just do a little overview video just so you can see kind of how it looks but the nice thing about this is so inside here will be my photos and I always like to get my photos printed with a white frame so I can stick my photo directly on here I might do a little bit of journaling some of them I might have as four by four so I've got room to do a bit of journaling there but also what I like is that I've used the vellum in between so when there's a photo there and a photo here with the vellum in between the photos won't stick together so just flick through I've put little tabs on here says the bourbon biscuit tab again you can put a nice photo there or do some journaling another bit of vellum because if there's a photo there and a photo here and then you open it up and you've got a photo there and a photo there so there's like I said there's room for four photos on each page and there are 10 pages so again just flicking through I've got some more little tabs there and then on some of the pages I have done that was got to go in there and that one's got to go in there here we are this one here I have these little kind of tuck spots so I've used two of the iced rings there and just stuck glue just around the bottom parts and then I've got these little tuck spots so whatever photos or something I might have in this section I can write the date where it was what we were doing so we're going to do shopping and we're going to go out out have nice meals things like that so it's going to be lovely so I'll get some nice photos and then just added the little tags and stuff here and I just love how it's come together I like making these quick little albums and I think it's going to yeah it's just going to really tie things together it's nice and then these ones here oh that one seems to have stuck on it there we go I just put the little mini biscuits on the top of these little tags again I can write stuff on both sides there and they just kind of tuck inside and there's another little tuck spot there and this one here again so I've just used all those lovely little pieces that's a good one because I can put lots of journaling on that I think we can hire bikes as well so we there's a pub just down the road so I think we're hopefully the weather's going to be nice so we're going to hire bikes and go to the pub for lunch so that again I'll get some good photos so as long as they're okay I'll share some of them on here and then at the back here I've just put the notes little kind of cut out on there and I can just kind of conclude the weekend and write anything else I want to there and then finished it with all these lovely papers so again I was saying how great these papers are and it's always nice to make something that you get to keep so you always get to remember the papers because some people are like oh I can't cut into that I don't want to cut into it you must you have to then if you make lovely things like this for yourself to keep forever then you're always going to appreciate it so that's that so all that is left is this stuff here my stickers those number sheets because they'll be handy for you know other things and then that one there which was I'm going to do a scrapbook layout on these ones I didn't want to cut into them but I think I'm going to make one just one big gift bag with those so that is what is left out of all of that stuff and I've made some really really lovely things but now I just want to quickly show you how to make that gift bag so this is the one that I'm going to make for myself because I have to have one as well I can't miss out on those tonics teacakes okay so it's A4 size so you just it's just this is the default A4 that comes in the pack I haven't cut it down at all so long it comes in at 11 and a half so along the long side you want to score at one and three quarters five and a half seven and a quarter and 11 and then rotate to the short side and you want to score at one and three quarters now again you can make any size bag with this this is just the size I thought would be nice I wanted to get as many bags as I could from the paper as well as make the mini album so I've really tried to maximize the amount of projects I can get from this then you just want to fold and burnish all of those score lines okay then we need to do a bit of cutting so you want the you'll have where you scored at 11 inches that that'd be a half inch kind of piece left that needs to be on the right hand side and down in that bottom right hand corner you'll have this little rectangle you just want to remove that completely and then just cut a little wedge off of the edges there of that tab and then along all those score lines there'd be three score lines along the bottom you just want to cut up to the top oh sorry just cut up to that first score line and again move that one and then again that last one and then the squares you've got this square here and this square here you just again just want to take a little wedge off of those okay so that's what you should have very very easy next what we're going to do is we're just going to run glue just down this one here so along that half inch tab just want some glue this is paper it's not you know it isn't a thick cardstock so that's why I thought it was you know it worked well for just this lightweight little gift bag but again how lovely if you are doing a little party maybe for your grandchildren or for your own children or just for some friends party favours you know whatever this is a really really fun pack I'm really pleased I chose it and then I'm going to bring in so the one where you just joined your seam stick that one down first so and then I'm just going to add some glue onto each of my tabs so stick that one down there and then that one and then you're going to put glue on the one on the front and then that just sandwiches it all together okay and then you can just turn the whole thing over and just pop your ruler in and just make sure it's all stuck down okay and then your tab where you've joined should be at the back it'd be in the back left hand side there and then just bring in the tops like so just squeezing them together and just come down as far as you want really and you want to fold it over about half an inch and then fold it over again like so okay and then I've got my bow and this piece here and this is just to decorate and it's going to run along there so I'm just going to again run some glue and it's coming up about half an inch you just want it so it's got room for that bow to sit there we go and then I'm going to pop some glue on the back of the bow now because it's already die cut it's very very quick to assemble I done all of this in an afternoon including the mini album so you know you don't need to think oh you've got to put back a week to do all this because all the hard work's done for you so now that's that piece done then I've just got my little peg and my little gift tag there I might write a little note to myself because there you have it how adorable are these I cannot wait for my friends to see them I know they're going to love them I'm sorry to Louise and Katie who are my two other friends it's usually there are seven of us and unfortunately they can't make this holiday so guys you're going to miss out I'm afraid you don't get one of these treats but I'm sure there'll be plenty more times and then my wonderful album but like I said I will do a flick through that again because I'm going to have the name of where we stayed and the date and yeah I've got lots more that I want to do to that and fill it up of course so yeah so I hope you like this little kind of inspiration video showing you that lovely
