 Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixtape Craft, thank you for watching my video today, I just wanted to show you some of the new release from Simply Made Crafts, so I know that this is being released this weekend, I think Helen's on Hachanda and it was shared on Craft Stash Live, I'm trying to think when I'm putting this video up but it'll be on the Friday that's around when this video's gone up, but I've made some samples and I thought before I post them off I will share the samples with you so you can get to see how they look, but there is some more to this collection as well, so tune in to Craft Stash and Hachanda and I'll share all the links below anyway. So what I've got here, for anybody who doesn't know, Simply Made Crafts is a lot of like really cool gift boxes, gift bags, memory keeping, so mini albums and things like that and it's all the dies to make it. So I'll start from the top, so first of all I got here, this was a treat box edition die set and this one works with this one here, yeah, with the window treat die set, so with this one here you can make something like this, okay, so just open up, you've just got a nice gift box there and I've put a little shaker element on the top of that one, okay, but if you then want to change it up a little bit more and I really like this edition here, you can create something like this and I've made a little treasure chest and I love this, really, really do enjoy this, I think it would make great little, instead of party bags, giving everybody a little treasure chest when they're leaving, I say children's party but hey, you might want to do it for the adults as well, but you just open up the top here and inside you've got obviously plenty of room there and with the editions, I love the padlock, I'm going to use that on lots of other things, that's going to look great on handbags, nice big, it's a certain famous bag company when they used to have the large padlocks and you get all the extras here, so you get all these lovely beautiful, you know, decorations but you also get the diamonds and like the gemstones, so if you do want to make it, you know, more of a treasure chest style, you do have those pieces there as well and so yeah, this is, and what I, another thing I really liked about this was this here is an embossing metal plate, so rather than an embossing folder, it's metal and it gives you the wood grain, you see there, there we go, it's just picking it up and then I've just dressed this with some distressed oxide inks, but I thought that was really nice so I just put that a couple of plates across it and that's there is the join, I think, from the plates but I think it looks like a crack in the wood, so again, just, you know, work with it and I think it turns out really well, so this I love, so this is what it will, you know, do if you just have this one, you've got lots of other bits, the trellis you can do all the way around, I just tried to throw everything on there so you can see, but you've got this banner here as well, you've got a gift tag and then you've got some sentiments there to use as well, so that was those two, then I will show you this one here, this is beautiful, so this is the star box die set and you can make this and it's beautiful, so this is a gorgeous star gift box and then just lift the lid off and you can see inside there, you've got lots of room and with this one you have obviously the detail there, you've got the flowers which I've done on top, the leaves are from another one of Helen's collection and it was the handbag one, you've got stars here and then it says you're a star and then let's celebrate and then it tells you obviously on the back all your instructions there and this one also coordinates with this one here which is your 3D stars die set and these I think are really cool and you can turn them into little gift boxes as well, I've just kept them as decorations but look at these, you have some of them hanging down you know for a party and I've used my favourite holographic cardstock but just look at the way the light hits that, so you imagine that's carefully that's slowly like spinning around catching in the light but if you don't stick down one of them and put like a little tab or some ribbon there you can turn this into a gift box, you get the little piece there to hang so I'll pop some string through them but they're the three sizes and I'll just show you how the die looks, so you will need a large die machine, these ones you don't, these ones are standard you're smaller one and you get your little piece to hang as well but you can see there she just die cut two of them to make the box or the actual 3D form but you can also use them as a topper on a card so you just die cut it once and then you can stick it onto a card base as well you could have it as a topper on a gift box or something like that but I just thought that was really really cool and they're so quick to do so again if you do like to make you know party decorations then I think these are great and how lovely are those on the Christmas tree because they look like plastic ones you know they look like they would be hard not card stock so yeah love them think they're really really good I think they're going to do very well as well so that's those ones and then lastly I had this one here which is your split cube box die set now this can well I can make three different boxes really you've got the cube box the cube box with compartments and the triangular box so I've done all three together so this is what it would look like okay and then when you open up you have looks like the sandwich boxes but you can open up and you've got a compartment here that just clips in and then you've got another compartment there but you can have take these off don't add these pieces and it will just close and be one square so when it opens up you know you might have loads of sweets that just kind of fall out of it or you can just have one half the triangular so just this you know they look cute or you can do what was the other one yeah that no that was it was three wasn't it triangular which is just one half cube box with the compartments which is what this is there's the compartments or the cube box just remove the compartments and have it as one piece but there's a lovely solid you know cube and then you can see you get all these bits for decoration I actually decided to use this one so this is your fun accessories die set and I've used the party hat the hooray and the stars and again I just thought they'd make really nice party favors and but alternatively you know you've got the decoration then you can have that as like a little detail here on the front if you wanted to and then you also get this one here which is the elegant accessory die set and you just got some really nice sentiments there you've got some bunting you've got the like party streamer and then inside here you can see there the congratulations is really nice that'd be great for your cards as well but again you could let's just have a little look yeah see how it would go across like a box so yeah really nice lots of different ones there you've got a specially is that right there yeah specially for and then you have you especially for you I'm gonna break it into song why does this or everything I'm reading out lately is just making me sing a song I'm humming it now in my mind I can yeah you probably all know what I'm singing but yeah I just thought they were a nice little addition but like I said there is also a couple of other bits I haven't actually seen them I just saw a sneak peek that went up on Facebook of the collection because crafts actually got a competition where you can win but I'm not sure by the time my video goes out that may have already finished but I'm again I'll link all that kind of stuff below and you know you can take a look yourself okay so there are my samples just thought I'd share them with you before I send them off and yeah let me know what you think
