 Hi everybody, it's Sam from Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my video today. I have box number eight from the Paper Craft Society. This one's been put together by Bev and Sam who are B Crafty, so I'm really looking forward to creating some fun things with this. It's a little bit different to what we usually get because it's down the mixed media route, but don't let that scare you. You can make some fantastic things with this and I will share some tutorials and I'm actually going to be featuring this in a Facebook Live as well. So let's get into the box. As always, you have your beautiful designs on the front. This one has a silver foiling, lots of watercolour kind of patterns there. In fact, that's what covers all of the box. You can see it on the back there as well. Okay, so creativity is messy. I am very very creative and that's from Bev and here is Sam and Bev on the front and that's full of all your inspiration. I won't go in, you know, in detail into that because that's a nice surprise for those of you that receive this box. So we get our pockets. So first of all, we use that. I have already had a little look in there and I've already gone through and organised this how I like it and I've popped my guys onto a magnetic sheets. So I'm going to have this way. I love all of this really nice. It gives me an idea of the colours because it's always kind of a teaser as what you know your kind of palette is going to be. So okay, we have two large stamp sets. So usually you just get one. So on this one we have two and you can see what you get here. Let me just grab some copy paper there just so you can see exactly what you've got here. So you've got a large plate stamp, which has got like a nice script. You've got some dandy lions butterfly. You've got these kind of paint splats, brush strokes. You've got like just more small little kind of details there and then you have a bumblebee. You've got a tape measure and then just some like almost looks like it's maybe taken from a textbook just the lines there. You could certainly, depending on how you ink that, you could actually do a bit of journaling on there. So if you were to ink it in a lighter colour. So they're really nice and then underneath here I've popped these here. So you have you get two of each. So these are the papers. So we've got these two here which are very whimsical and actually when I saw these I thought they would look really nice to do the silhouette cards. You know stamp on to this using your black ink and your silhouette stamps and you can create a really nice whimsical kind of look. So I just imagined fairies kind of you know flying above the grass is there. Then you've got these two here. So it's taking those stamped images and it's already kind of done I guess that mixed media background for you. So for those of you that maybe aren't too sure on how to create this, they've already done it for you here because there's this is a die I think which you'll see or is it the stamp. You'll see it in a moment but there's that stamp I just showed you with the script and the line sorry so you could just write something on there and then again there's that script from this stamp and then you have these two here which is just crinkled paper but it gives you a really nice look because you could actually still write on that but you know use this as your you know your papers for your card making and you can pop your sentiment in the middle here and build up on top of that and then you've got these two sheets here where you can actually cut your sentiments. So you've got quite a few there. I like this one it's time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings. Every story has an end but in life every ending is just a new beginning. That's really good as well, very true. So you've got them so lots of you know again something different which is what's always nice about these. So pop that one back in there and then the other stamp set is this one here. So you've got birthday wishes, love that key, butterfly and the bee, time flies to and from. You are loved beyond measure. You have the key to my heart thinking of you and then all these nice images. I love the tape measure as a crafter and I like my sewing and things like that. I think that's really good. This is great you know can be used for so many different things but it screams kind of masculine cards to me as well. Then you've got all your Roman numeral numbers along the bottom there. This is like some stitching kind of yeah it's just yeah it's just like a rough stitch stamp but again that's great for borders. You put that around beautiful lace trim there. You heat emboss that and you could even have that as some draping. In fact that would look really good along the theatre card that I made. You imagine that as your kind of theatre drape and then you could just do some curtains coming down either side so there you go if anybody's wanting something for that card and you have this you could certainly use that. So yeah you've got a really nice amount that the fact we've got two stamp sets is really good and that the birthday wishes is two separate stamps which is good because you can obviously mix them up with your other stamps as well. So that's those and we have two stencils here. Let's pop it on this yellow which actually goes quite nicely with this kit but you can see here you've got your clock face again you've got some pretty decorative borders you've got your paint splats those and then the smaller ones as the butterfly there which will look really nice stenciled and then you've just got another cool pattern and then this one here you can see there you've got it's quite a damask pattern there I guess and then some swirls and everything on that one as well. So that's those and then we have the dies so like I said I did put mine on to my magnetic sheet just so it holds them all in place but there's that dragonfly which was on one of the papers there you've got hello and then you've got for you and then you've got the gift tag which is a really handy one I mean I've got a gift tag punch but it's a rounded I think it's rounded and you tell me look actually but that's you know useful and what I did see and I thought this is going to be perfect but the keyhole and the key is going to be brilliant for when I make my gift bags especially when I make the designer you know handbag gift bags and I've recently been sharing you know a couple and yeah I just saw that one there I thought would look really good to have on the bag is like the padlock and the butterfly there which I believe will cut this one here so look yeah it does so you've got that we'll cut that one out and this must cut the key as well so yeah look at that even better I didn't actually didn't even think so yeah that you'll have all that detail or you can just cut it using some mirrored card silver card things like that that would look really nice so yeah I like that they will cut those pieces out for you so that's everything in the wallet it also says create imperfection it is good for the soul of your creativity this one says guilt is a wasted emotion craft whenever you want and this one says make your own choices in life choose craft okay so let's pull that away in here we have an embossing paste and this is a really really good size so let's have a little look inside of here it's actually a lot runnier than I thought which means let's just have a look yeah so give it a bit of a mix but this looks like a very thick acrylic paint but it will have other things added to it but this is going to be brilliant for mixing so you can decant a small amount onto a media plate and mix it with the ink colors that we have here so then you can create your own colored embossing paste which is great yeah it smells like acrylic paint so but it will have other properties in it in order for it to be used you know more as a paste but yeah that's you get a lot in there that's going to last a long time okay then we got our three ink colors there's the three colors really nice and vibrant very much my style and these are going to be a great addition to my already growing ink cube collection from the papercraft society but yeah you can just mix these they're hybrid inks so they will work with your alcohol markers and your water color they've got a little yeah they're just pop together there so they don't fall off they're always loaded with pigment but again you can just tap this onto a little acrylic block media plate and then just mix it with your mediums you can add water to it and you can use them as a watercolor so there's lots of ways to use these little yeah cubes of color then we have a palette knife so I've already got a couple of these but to be fair it's actually really handy to have more because when you're well I do get quite messy whenever I do anything kind of mixed media but I have to clean them all straight away if you've got a few then you can kind of have one for one color one for another so it's quite handy to have another one of these but they're really handy to you know get those great effects with the paste on your stencils and just to get some rough texture as well you don't have to use stencils with the embossing paste you can just lay it down just with the palette knife and it looks really good as well we get a little card you get one of these in every single box this one says when all else fails get messy and that's Julie and I believe Julie is their mum and on the back of this it says types of stenciling stenciling can add interest dimension color and texture to your projects it also allows you to develop your creativity the best effects are achieved through layering so why not have some fun with eat with these techniques and layering is one of the main parts of mixed media it's it's laying down all different things you know different mediums drying them in between and you can add a lot of layers so yeah I'm really looking forward to using this one and let's see what we can make so then we have our card stock so here again very much my color and we've got a really lovely bright pink we've got some craft card I think it's the first time I've seen craft card in one of the boxes it's a really thick craft card as well so you can use these as your card blanks but they're gonna look really nice with the embossing paste just in the white on that you can do especially with the stenciling you can get like a really nice lace effect when you work with craft card so I might try that and then we've got that lovely green it's like a granny smith apple green there and then that lovely yellow nice sunshine yellow so some really fun colors there again these are white core yeah they're white core cardstock so when you rip these you get the lovely white core and also if you use your embossing folder on these and lightly sand them you get some really nice effects which are the kind of things that are used a lot within mixed media as well so you'll probably see me doing some of those things when I do the tutorials okay so that's everything inside this month's papercraft society kit from be crafty really looking forward to making some fun things with this one if you haven't you know heard of the papercraft society before have a little look at my playlist
