 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft thank you for watching today I have received my box of trim craft goodies oh my god I'm so excited um I've got these a little bit later because mine have been stuck in customs story of my life they were stuck there for over a week so I was gutted so anyway I have them and I cannot wait to share and show you all of the goodies so I'm going to unbox this off camera and then I'll start going through all the good stuff okay so one of the first things that I could not wait to get my hands on is the new V&A collection so this is the V&A phase two or two I'm not quite sure but you know how much I love the first one and this time I get the whole collection it is just so much fun so um I'll just quickly show you what we have here so we've got the 20 mini bows so these are really pretty perfect colors everything matches so these are embellish your V&A papercraft projects projects with these decorative mini bows really really cute then I've got 91 that extra one adhesive flatback pearls again really nice you've got like the green and that really lovely dusty pink color then you've got the frames they always do these frames trim craft and they are they're really fun I'm going to certainly be using them in some card making and you get 12 wooden frames and I think let's have a quick little look here so we've got one two three styles that's beautiful that's really lovely so those three there okay next we have the sequins now I saw these ones online and they are just a gorgeous really like deep again is that you know that dusty pink but then it's almost like a gun metal green color really really lovely again I'm not sure I'm trying to keep the glare off the plastic there but they are really really pretty so they're going to look super cute we've got these lovely which reminded me of prima all of the prima flowers I've got this is the the kind of um you know thought I had when I saw these nine paper flowers covered in glitter thank god they're in a uh plastic um packet there because the glitter is everywhere so they're going to look so lovely on gift boxes and gift bags and mini albums and yeah I can't wait then we've got these which is great because I've seen these with previous collections and I do have a couple I have the beach life matching die and stamp set and I think I've got those uh sweet moments as well but this one here and there's two so really nice you get the frame dies there too much the frame stamps and then there's all your four sentiments that will fit inside as well as these nice little flowers and hearts and there's the tiny little heart die there for the heart stamp so that one's lovely and then this one here this is gorgeous flower which no it's not a layer one so that's that's the other two separate flowers and then that leaf cuts that one but you can obviously mix and match but again really really do like them and actually it looks like glitter when I look at it but there's all little speckles in these so I imagine that's going to give you a really nice yeah kind of detail when we stamp those so two really lovely um stamp sets there stamp and die sets pop that one there I've got the pegs again they always do really fun pegs but just really nice great colors I just love the olive dark green and that really nice pink color I think it's great these gorgeous fabric brads and I've had some before in older collections but look at those ones there look at that lovely lovely rose and all these these are all prints these all match the prints that are in the paper pack which I'll show you in a minute and V&A is the Victoria and Albert Museum so they go through their archives and they pull out all their old fabrics and textiles and and basically they just take the prints I say we but Trimcraft and their team will go through and I imagine get told what prints that they are allowed to use and make into lovely collections like this then I've got here five cotton ribbons so again if I just bring that up there you've got just I imagine that one there's just for you yep you're with love and happy birthday so great for all different I mean nice for mother's day obviously birthday just for you just as a nice little you know thank you gift or just because gift and they're just like those nice patterned ones there as well so I wonder how long they are actually as well as it say on the back no it doesn't but I imagine that you get a good amount then you've got these lovely little printed tags you've got 12 over them there and you can just see the four different patterns again beautiful that is the the leaf and the rose from the stamp so again you can see how everything coordinates straight away I can see and that's in a pattern there again this this one here in the paper pack you can just see it there with the tag so that one then we've got these lovely 20 sentiment stickers so again good luck like I said yeah thank you with love congratulations I love you so these are going to work right through you know for you know Valentine's Day Mother's Day birthdays they're going to be great in the new year I'm going to be using this a lot so that one pop that there I love this this is the little mini bunting 60 little triangles you get there and the twine and you can just again it's all the prints it's all the colors from the paper packs that's going to be really cute with cards this is great and I do like my embossing folders and this one you got this one here which again is this one of these patterns yes it's this one here so they've taken that pattern there and made it into this really lovely embossing folder and it's an a6 one so great for your cards perfect size and yeah can't wait to use that that's going to look lovely first time I've seen that as well with a collection like this then you've got the two paper packs so I've got the eight by eight and the 12 by 12 and let me just take apart the sides okay so I'll just give you a flick through here of what we've got so the first one is this lovely it's got a real nice shine to it shimmer side shimmer there and they are your two canvas designs and two pearlescent so there you go pearlescent that's that one there and then you've got this lovely print that's all those roses and the flowers and everything like the stamp set this is a textured one looks like wallpaper you can just kind of not sure if you can make it out there but it's a really nice pattern great background papers that's gorgeous love that one and again that's a pattern that's a textured one so it's really nice you get four of each again that's another like good background one looks like old reminds me of my nan's old wallpaper and you've got a great one there that's lovely really like that one it's going to look great on boxes this one again great for the backgrounds for your mats and stuff on your cards that's really nice it's a real kind of subtle green color you can see there just how nice everything's going to match this one that's the one that's the embossing folder and they've taken like the leaves and stuff which are in the pegs yeah nice I mean again look at the flowers just how much it's going to complement everything it's going to look fantastic I think that's it yeah so that's everything that you get there and they always show you across the front but when I got the first the first V&A pack I just couldn't believe how much I've used it and it's made some really really great projects so I am super excited to be using all this stuff oh my god thank you so much trimcraft you really have made my day okay on to the next lots of stuff okay so I've got the two new paper packs the first edition ones you all know how much I absolutely adore the first edition papers and I'm at the end of my fiesta fever and I'm at the end of my what was the other one that I've used a lot um botanical and there's another one as well but now I have the eight by eight mariposa and the 12 by 12 mariposa and this is beautiful so this reminds me of nature's grace so it's for me I loved the nature's grace collection which was the dove craft collection which is still under the trimcraft brand um but it reminds me of that so with this you get three glitter designs two pearlescent designs and half double sided papers so let's have a little look okay so again the first one here look at that lovely butterfly paper and you can see all that lovely shimmer and it's got dimension to it as well they're all raised you can you can touch the all the glitter on the butterflies that's that one this one here I think this may be my favorite because I have already looked online but that's all the hummingbirds and I just think it's beautiful I just love the colors that they've used again it's got that real nice shimmer to it when you move so that's that one this one here which has got glitter just really lovely little like um little clusters of flowers dinky little looks like um sweet william sweet weird is sweet william what's the other one I'm thinking of anyway really nice pretty very that's that's the best way to describe this it's pretty and just yeah just really subtle and soft and just I just love it um great background one there really like it and then look at this so this is feathers again on that shimmer paper but it's all feathers and I just love those purples mauve you know really soft grays they just look super then another really nice butterfly one this great one with the birds this reminds me of wallpaper william it's on the tip of my tongue now it's going to go come back to me later william morris um it reminds me of of that kind of style and um again it's just stunning these images of the birds are beautiful in fact on the back yeah linda this is the lady she's done quite a few designs for first edition papers and um yeah beautiful illustrations they're just stunning I wish I could draw that well this one here gorgeous oh my god see what I mean rubbing paper this is what I was saying like when I comment to some of you I say oh just you just sit there rubbing the paper because it's so pretty that's just a gorgeous background I mean look at that against that there's like a clash gonna look fab so these are now so now we're moving on to the double sided so you can see there they will all match their corresponding sides so again look at that that one's beautiful really really nice and that one there again this is like a crackle glaze so that's a really nice style and this one butterflies and then tiny little flowers butterflies and moths and just loads of beautiful things and then more butterflies again you can see what they match against really great background sheets there more butterflies and feathers and then that's it so that is marry poser and I'm going to be using this loads I'm going to be using all of it loads who am I kidding then this is my other favorite I just love them all this is forever free and it kind of reminded me a little bit of fiesta fever I guess just because of the bright colors and things like that but again it's got birds and flowers and deer um what else have we got here rabbits but it's just the colors they've used the clashes of the orange and the pinks and and stuff like that I just I love that so again let's just have a little look through here so first paper we have is this one here you can see there it's got that lovely shimmer to it again this is yeah pearlescent designs three spot UV designs and half double sided paper so that's that one that's gorgeous look at that one there really really cute again this one is this lady Stephanie Davis so she's designed this one and then we've got this one here which is again got it's got a shine to it that's the one I like I think this is going to be my favorite from this pack look at that you see just how nice I think that's the spot UV if you can you see like here see little bits of different bits I think that is what they mean possibly I don't know I need to look into that these are this is what again I liked about this one is that they have these cutouts which I think are just perfect for finishing off gift boxes and gift bags and even obviously you know cards as well but just how lovely that is and you can hole punch it you got your little deer special friend happy birthday and you get three so I've got yeah so you've got plenty there which is really good you're the best for the little bunny rabbit oh that's shot there there we go so so cute so that's that one and then that one I just thinks lovely the deer or the stag well no I'd say it's a deer that one just because they've obviously made it to look more like the lady so with the flowers in her horns there antlers even then we've got this lovely rose print really nice against that dark kind of gray color there's the bunnies oh and owl there's an owl there as well oh and a squirrel so we've got a squirrel bunny and an owl again very very cute and then we're on to the double sided so great I mean they look that's going to look really fun clashing of the stripes there against those ones we've got this print here on the same on that side this is the oranges that's nice I like that flower more flowers that's I think that I'd really like this I like the brightness against that dark background that's going to be a hit and there's it again look two three different owls there that's really nice and there's the bunny another print orange polka dot with orange flowers more beautiful bird print there with the polka dot and the white that's lovely and that's it so that's those ones there how fab is that pack just think they are fantastic okay then on to all the extras so I've got this really nice canvas shopping bag design create and inspire
