 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft and today I'm going to show you my craft room. So over the last what year in five months lots of you have asked to see my space and I've kept it quite private up until now and the reason I'm sharing it is because tomorrow so this will go up on Monday so Tuesday well Monday or Tuesday I will be packing it all away but don't worry it's not because I'm not crafting anymore it's because me and my husband are moving so we are moving to Shanghai on Thursday to start a new adventure new job for my husband so yeah I'm gonna have a whole new craft room well I've got to share it with a bed but it's fine I'm gonna make it work so I thought I would do a bit of a video diary for my own kind of memories and to share it with you guys as well so this is me standing by the door I just come around here slowly so I don't make you too dizzy and around here so I will start this side and come around I'm not gonna go through every single drawer but I will just kind of go through what I have here so this is where I keep all my kind of go-to bits so when I'm filming these are all the bits I need so I've got embellishments, Nuvo drops, inks all in drawers all the way down there so you can see and then I've got Velcro dots all my adhesives well I keep all my extras and cupboards behind me but these are all where I fill up so yeah they're really really handy I've got some calendars that's the one I write down stuff on that's all wrong so if you are pausing seeing what she got coming it's all messed up now so that will all change but I've made that one so anything I show you that I've made I'll try and share the tutorials in the video description below this video another calendar I've made random collection of old vintage knitting needles but I do use them as well I've got some Chinese little decorative hangi bits picture of me and my husband on our wedding day and again I made that frame as well so I'll share that one and then down here I have two old wine racks what not wine rack sorry wooden crates with the wine came in and I keep meaning to cover them in decoupage which maybe I will remember to do now that we're moving but for now they hold inks so I've got some oxide inks at the back there and just all stamping up ones and then at the bottom here I have all of my embossing powders and then stays on festifying what have I got there archival memento and all those black inks that I use and then on the side I've just popped my heat gun then I've got my where I film all my videos so this camera is usually clicked in here and then I do all of my filming there it's a bit of a weird setup because we didn't plan well I don't know this just wasn't how it was all meant to be but it kind of worked so I this is a really hardboard so I use it as the kind of corner of my desk and it works fine for me so then I'm here just got I collect old knitting patterns so these are all vintage ones and I've got a really nice idea of what I'm going to do with those these books here are my great grandmother's old my weeklies that she used to subscribe to and again there's loads of inspiration and things in there that I love to look through sometimes and then I've just got my tools so I've just got scissors punches then poke tools razors rulers see my ruler I finally got a tea ruler as well I've been going on about that in some of my videos I've got really old recipe tin here but this is filled with some twine you can just see that my full out washi tapes I've got there and then this one here this decorative thing is what I purchased she came out of an old department store in Malaysia so I snapped her up and yeah she just sits there with some fabric pompoms on her head there so I've got a squeaky floorboard so that's what you can hear if there's anything going on the background then if I pan back a bit here you can see my wall so I have just some cards there with the word happy a light box there which has got nothing in it which I've been meaning to do but I keep forgetting plus I need new batteries they just go a bit closer here so this is old sheet music this one up here but I really like the image this is an old book story there which is really quite fun another piece of sheet music just think it's a really funny image that's my Chinese calendar so if I just show you everything here you just peel off each of the days then I've got a really old movie advertisement again it's really masculine and stuff but I just really like it it's just colorful and different some street art that we purchased from when we lived in Malaysia and then this is old advertisements so that one there is for lemon a different drinks by Schweppes this one here I love advertising a lipstick tattoo your lips I just think again the image in the font and everything's really nice down here a couple more there's another sheet music just brilliant Judy Garland and Jean Kelly just again love it and then this here's quite funny this is a really old newspaper article or advertisement for Weetabix but long story short when I was maybe three my dad entered me into a competition fancy dress and dressed me and made me a cardboard Weetabix cut it shaped it everything and I got stuck in it and cried my eyes out but something we always remember and my mum found this and gave it to me I think it was one Christmas but yeah it's just really funny reminds me of that really really damaging event that happened in my life it's another thing that I made 1987 it was part of a calendar Samantha four and a half just like it and then this here is really really old my mum might be saying that she's not really really old but it's old as in nearly 60 a month this was what was sent to my name congratulations on your new arrival and it's wishing you all the best also baby from Kate and Frank PS I'll get you or get I'll get your potty now so yeah this is nearly 60 years old it would have been a piece of A3 back then that they folded in half and then in half again and that was their cards and I love it really really cool little bit of embossing on there as well another piece of sheet music again just like the image and then if I come out of it here I've got which is really they get if it just kind of focuses says mixed up I can get mixed up craft but it's scrabble letters and it's a light box that my sister brought me and her husband and then the that trim there is from from a temple shop in China I just love the colors and you see them flying so I have got them and then in the corner here I've got a Chinese umbrella which I love my big s my husband brought me that that's vintage from an old shop shop sign I got a flag that was on one of the ships my dad was on and bits and pieces so I go through that in a minute come back here yeah so got my trolley just filled with again my kind of things I grab my mini and but and die machine my little foam pad there my embossing buddy and then on this little kind of hook on the side I've got my school boards trimmer stamping platform and then if I wheel it out here you have got all my punches those circles I use and then I've got here my silicone pad and just some of the grease group paper that I use and at the bottom they've just got foam and what you called rags and tissue box and then on the side here I've got all of my stencils keep dropping on the floor so that one so just got two of them three of them either and then on here I've just got all of my embossing folders there so I can see what ones I've got and just some swatches of some of my ink colours so they are all on there so yes I just will that out and put it next to me when I'm crafting and then it just goes back into its place here underneath there I've just got more sheet music and women's weekly magazines but really vintage ones and under that side there I have my sewing machine so if I just pan out a bit there you can kind of see how it all works and I do love that little space then if I come over to here on this middle section here I've got my big shot then my big blue which is the A4 size electronic die cutting machine and my laminator in my drawers here full of stickers literally goes all the way down I really need to sort that out so that I get a good looking at there's some new stuff as well on there so need to get into there then this one I have envelope punch board the flower punch board the we are memory keepers letter mini letter punch board another little mini school board little stunt scrubby there as well and then this one here has just got all my leads my camera's usually in there but I've been taking pictures it's got more plates there for my cutting machines as well and then down in these cupboards here I have all my 12 by 12 paper I don't tend to have too much you're trying to get through it I do like to use it up but you can see that still got a fair amount that I've got to work through and I've got some new ones as well bottom they've got a three colored and then I've got 12 by 12 acetate cotton sheets few other bits and pieces as well but that's all mine mainly my 12 by 12 and then I come along to here I really like this setup this has worked really well for me so this has got all my a4 colored card and then just got some inspirational quotes I stamped out there but again I can just quickly see what I need to get more of and and if I've got a lot of one particular color then I'll you know focus on using that so maybe let's do some green projects or some blue I show but quite a lot and then if I just kind of plan down here you can see this is my white cards as my go-to just got a new wad of it there black I've got my all my craft card there which I absolutely love you can see this is the big hundred get hundred pieces there for 999 hundred sheets even then watercolor fun foam more fun foam felt acetate belem double sided sheets Miri card glitter sheets and then all six by six got some corrugated card mix there it's a 8 by 8 and I've got tissue paper in there some more miscellaneous more bits and then this is copy paper oh that is laminating sheets and then copy paper so I need to change that and that's what I use for templates and such so if I just slowly without making you dizzy so I can get back up there you can see this that takes five visit one two three four yeah five of those systems which you pick up in the stationery shops but that works really well then if I come across here possibly my favorite bit to look at in my room is my ribbon wall and I absolutely adore this not only does it look great but it's just works so well my mom does the same as well and I can just pick up whatever paper it is I'm using come along here hold the paper up until I get the perfect match and then cut off what I need plus I can see what I'm running out of really quickly so yeah if I come out here I could probably do with a bit more black or some darker I don't really have any I guess I've got every color there but I could do some different shades but yeah I really love this a little bit of knitting stuff there something I'm working on and then if I just come over here so I've got three shelves here if I go to the top you can see I've got some old scrabble boards get my finger in here there we go in our old house I used to put these up in frames with different things in them I've got one up here but I've got some spares there I've got my little magic roundabout doggy some more sheet music there sugar and spice there that's a really old that picture buildings are really old kids game sound of music sheet music and cherry stone and then there's my umbrella again and if I come back here so at the top there I've got all stamping art stamps and a album that I've made there this was brought by my auntie decoupage letters which is really nice this is a project I've done just haven't done a tutorial for it yet but it's a lunchbox really good one and it's filled with ribbons and I really like that so I will try and work and get something for that done it just quite long so it's making it shorter for you guys that's the Rubik's Cube that I've got and then down here and this is new bits that I've got that I need to file away same there as well but basically this is my die storage so just so you can see what I kind of use as labels that's my stamping up dies then I've got all my spare magnetic sheets and I've got bits on that need to be filed I need to get more of my plastic files and then I've got patterns tags and labels sets and scenes border dies animals in nature hobby base flower dies alphabet and number dies word dies topper dies travel and then all the shapes of square oval rectangle circle then shape dies themselves Christmas and Valentine's Day so they are all my dies just about getting full now I could probably end up moving that into another one and then it's the same process for my stamps so they go across these three they need to be put into the little pouches and labeled but I've got here love sentiments planning mail and that one's got to be done I think that was travel and I've got nature patterns on I've got world and travel there and then critters letters and Christmas my labella is this one here it's the brother once very popular and but I purchased mine here in China and I had to label my labella so that was quite amusing works exactly the same so I just went on to YouTube and got all the right labels there in place so yeah really like that and then down here I have all my scraps so I have them color coordinated I tried many many systems this is by far the best one that works for me so I can just come along here and I've got like all my purple yellow red so I can actually come grab the folder with it all in and then work on a project and just pop them back in again once that gets too full then I'll go through and sort it out but that is yeah really really works well again just stamp some more little inspirational quotes here I have my bits and pieces so I've got my little mini concertina folders my a4 concertina folders again all tutorials for them my travellers journal diaries scrapbooks and then more stamps so the big a4 stamps that you get free in the magazines I've got quite a lot there and I basically just put the whole sheet in each one so you can see this I can just go and sit down with this file and just work through and see what I want to do these are more magazine stamps they're just in there down in this cup it's a bit boring it's just really the card bases hobby based box and then where I store my cards I've made spare envelopes and then more magazines diaries bits and pieces and some more storage and bits that I'm working on that's that one and then if I come up here in here's my display cabinet I won't go through every single bit but top shelf there is just things I've collected things I've been given to me little creatures and so on and then if I come down here more bits I've collected from traveling and just things that make me smile my mini mouse is there from Disney World come down again got some miscellaneous like bits pieces tear twine old books and bits and pieces if Isabel watches this Isabel there's the little bunny that you made me and then at the bottom again pretty boring just kind of more spares really all my red tape foil flakes more inks and again all bits and pieces there you can see don't need to go through that and then the last section is this one here so these I love so up here I've got my mini craft room with real little LED light that I made you make that from scratch I've got my thing behind here carefully lift up this room hugs me lots of scrabble letters and lexicon letters that I like vintage tombola boards that they used to use my mixed up craft there all these drawers all filled with embellishments and brads and hardware and sticky bits and pegs and sequins and yeah there's just loads you can see it all there I really don't need to go through all that and then again got the big plastic ones there they got all bits in wooden letters elastic vintage stamps glitter all sorts and then in here I've got more vintage Christmas cards there's one here that's about we think it's about 60 years old that's this one here that was
