 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixtape Craft, thank you for watching today so I've got kind of one big thing to show you today and that is an order that I had done with Tonic Studios. Now I was actually told another crafty friend said to me that Tonic have a clearance section and they've got up to 61% off and the card stock is really good over there. So I have had Tonic card stock in the past so I was already familiar and it is good quality so I knew it was going to be good, however it was 78p for 5 sheets. Now when you look at other companies and you look at 12x12 papers that's a bargain, 78p. So I've got 2 of each so I've got 10 so I've got nice even numbers and I have a huge amount of colours here so I just bring it up on the side, you can see everything I've got there but this is now you know pretty much my card stock for the year. This and with my pattern papers that I've been sharing recently I've just done you know a big kind of restock after Christmas and everything. I go through a lot, I donate stuff, I give stuff to my mum and a lot of the Christmas stuff in that I put stuff away so when you put all this in place of that you know you've got lots of gaps so I'm filling it all up and I will put everything into you know kind of rainbow order so I can see everything and yeah I'm really pleased with all this so it's 216gsm but once you add your mats and layers it's perfect so you know it's great for your gift bags and boxes and your card so it's an all-round very good card stock so I am going to just flick through the colours excuse the glare I don't really want to take everything out of the packaging but I've got if I can see where it says the colours on these I don't know oh yeah there we go so we've got this is cherry red so I've got two of those then I've got navy blue this is a ivory white and it's a weave textured again these are all 78p each and it's still all on there this is Arctic blue love that one and then you've got your blossom pink I mean they're they just scream baby shower and then I have this one is ballet pink really nice then we've got pistachio green I did have I think it was it was a certain red one and the email me to say that that had sold out there was no more left but I've got other one here this is buttermilk yellow really lovely fresh yellow there this is ocean blue then I have raspberry pink coral pink oyster grey but this way you know I've got papers card stocks that's going to match every single you know one of my pattern paper pads so it's it's nice when you can get things to match up well excuse the the pink there I was doing some lipstick swatches and it's stained I brought a lip stain so at least I know it is going to stain because I can't get off my hand and then I've got fuchsia pink or bejean purple love this one amber yellow really really nice marigold yellow spearmint green love the names brick red rose pink I've got a black this is the jet black because you know some blacks are more gray so it's you know good to that one is a black black and then fern green love that one it's gonna good Christmas green and that was it I think it was a Christmas red so I remember thinking all the Christmas green color and then yeah but they didn't have that one in the end and then two blues here so I've got this is corn flower blue I love corn flower blue and then teal blue so yeah I've got a really nice considering this is my bread and butter this is what I need for every single tutorial for everything I do I need cardstock so to have sorry I lost my focus a little bit there's pop it back down to have all of that I just thought was really good so I had to also put some other things in my basket so but it's another bargain and that is these so these are still on there at the moment and they are they were 1599 down to 499 that I can get into them now these are the other ones the little snips I've got and these are dress making ones and they can be used for your card making but I am at the moment I'm starting to make some quilts and some other soft furnishings and my my older fabric scissors are these ones which I could still use but I have been very naughty and use them back on paper again so these ones are just going to stay there now but I've got these ones which are going in a completely different section and they will be kept for that but for 499 from 16 I thought was really really good and they've got these ones I think are still on there I think they've gone down as well so there's quite a few but they are again you know that they're made well titanium coated blades double double a beveled blades it's a mouthful titanium dressmaker shears and they got the kush grip which is this one here which make your hands smile they are comfortable I'll give them that they are so yeah they are 9.5 inches 24 centimeters if you want the measurements so I thought that was good and then I had a little look at their stamps these one well they were still reduced let me just get the right ones they were 17.99 down to 9 pound each that that isn't I know that's still you know I think it's still quite high for stamps but I do love these kind of ones and they're just going to be so good for my friends children and things I just I love that you can change their little outfit so they look like they're all the same but they're not so this one here you've got that is celebrate life celebrate success and celebrate friendship so you've got your little pig your little chick your sheep and your cow this is a rabbit bear a cat and a dog and then here you've got your owl your fox your deer and maybe that's the fox and that's the badger yeah because he's got a bit of a striped towel or I guess it could be I'm gonna say it's a badger yeah it's not a skunk but you've got all these little totes stores little satchel school satchel pens little hats and you can change their little outfits on them I think they're brilliant so I know I'm going to use them and we've got the nice cake there here you've got the little toad look little shorts got the little water and can little chick the little picket fence there's them the pumpkin there so again these are going to work for other seasons and I have lots of like other stamps which are Christmas ones with like maybe a Christmas hat or last week I shared those little Christmas hat stickers it's these kind of images that you can add them on to so you can you can turn these into Christmas stamps as well you know put a Merry Christmas sentiment or you know a Thanksgiving one with the pumpkins or Halloween you know you can you can certainly pull bits from stamps and kind of mix them up and stuff but this one here I love the globe there as well on the paintbrush and you've got the little graduation cap I just think they're really cute so they were a bit more that was a splurge really because that for those three it's you know almost as what I paid there on the card stock but yeah I am pleased with what I got there so that was that and I've got one little charity shop thing which is these which is an absolute bargain because I believe there was a load of craft buddy branded stock and there's this particular charity shop in town has quite a nice craft area some of it they have priced too high and some of it's very very old craft stuff but there was these in there and I've seen these being shown on creating craft under craft buddy I can't remember the name that they used and let me just take it all out of packaging because I will sort these all out now so basically what you do here you have your I guess the stem or like the the kind of fixing for the flowers to kind of build on and then these bits here I think that one goes underneath and that one goes I need to watch a video and they're the leaves but basically all of these you have well just in that one bag the 70 of that particular petal you've got 35 of that one they are just like squashed together but if you can see there when you peel it all apart you see all of them there's absolute tons and you build up the flowers and you can make beautiful ones there you got 240 pieces there's absolute tons and it was two pound for each bag so I've paid four pound for all of this and there are hundreds and hundreds of flowers 80 in that one 70 70 70 they did have a few more as well but basically what you do I mean I'm just kind of guessing it I'm well I have seen it but I now we've got it in front of me I can't quite remember exactly what to do but I will have a look they're all fabric but they're great for just doing his little embellishments but also for that envelope cars that so many of you are making you're doing some really gorgeous ones so I'm just gonna get that one and I think you need 175 of these so I think is it something like you do that and then that will shape the flower but you can obviously layer up different ones there is a tool that I've seen them use as well to push them all on but I'm gonna make do I've only paid four pound for this so I don't want to or maybe I know I know what you do I think you do that and then like layer them up ah yeah that's right and then that will shape it at the end you see and you'll start to get like her carnation for example that's what I think they can give you different effects I said I'm gonna look and I'm sure some people watching now I've already got it and I will work out exactly how they are made so yeah don't worry but it's something like that but also what I thought I mean you can just see how that's starting to come together I thought it'd be nice and there's the leaves I mean I don't know whether I like the grill that's all I know that was a bit dodgy there maybe they were take out some others maybe some of them as seconds a little bit because that looks all look a little bit suspicious there that doesn't look great I'm not too worried about the leaves because I probably add my own die cut leaves yeah they all look a bit misshapen actually but then I guess it doesn't matter too much that's I don't know if they should be that stiff or not who knows they might have been in an environment I don't know where it was a bit warm where the heat was a bit dodgy let me just put that underneath you can see there how you kind of get the leaves and stuff but I'll probably use my own die cuts but what I also thought is that you can build the flower up just flat stick it on a card and put a nice you know gemstone in the middle there so yeah I love my flowers I love all these kind of things and they would have come in handy for that envelope card but now I've got them now I love this one here yeah because I think the bigger kind of caps there will give you another look again so let's have a little I'm gonna go on to the craft buddy website and see let's put that one in there and then do that one yeah see that gives a different effect doesn't bring them in as close and obviously you need to put a lot more in there and I imagine there are like stamen ones you know the details and stuff you can get to be honest there was a lot in there but I had my hands full and you know it was near the end of the day so but I don't know I think they're gonna look really cool I'm gonna have a play around with them but like I said even if I don't use these all the time I think these look really pretty to just layer up add your own die cut kind of leaves behind them put a nice embellishment inside them because they're so soft they will lie nice and flat so it makes it easy to post as well things like this are gonna be better on like maybe a gift tag or the top on a gift box or something something that maybe you know isn't gonna get crushed in postage but yeah I thought they were really really good like I said there's so many here and look at those ones they're like blue with the green these I love I think they're gonna make really nice carnations when they're layered up let's just shove a let me just do three I'll just speed this up just so you're not bored there's a five of those ones and if you push that up underneath and then I think you might add the lip but look at that cool and I imagine you could maybe put these over so it covers it like so I need to have a better look but I know when I remember watching it on creating craft not that long ago this year I thought they look really good like some of them look so beautiful when you've got a lot of them you know in a vase or if you're doing you know I don't know just some decor at home decor you know on like a shadow box frame or something so yeah there it is anyway so I'm gonna have a good play around with that like I said look up some videos of making these up and yeah see what I can do with them these ones here I imagine you could color as well with like your inks and stuff and there I mean look there's just absolutely tons of them all on top of it so the white ones are actually really nice and that orange there they're gonna beautiful as well so yeah I'm really pleased that for four pound I think it's really good okay so that is everything and I will not be sharing any more cardstock for a long time unless it's what I've been given then that's different but in terms of what I'm purchasing this is it no more and yeah I love the stamps they're just really cute and again the things that that they just don't date you can keep them all the time and my scissors you won't really see these but I'm really pleased with them so yeah but you will see the flowers because I'm gonna be using them on things no doubt and I'm probably gonna make quite a few up once I've kind of figured it out I'll probably make a lot up and I've got some really nice glass jars I like to keep everything in because I like things displayed and I like them in things I can see through so then my room inspires me when I walk into my room I look around I think you know what I've not used them for a long time let's create something with that so that's why I like to see everything so this is gonna be nice and colorful and we'll brighten it up even more so yeah that's everything I will link all of this because there is you know still a lot there and like I said click on that clearance and you'll be able to find some yeah hopefully some cool things maybe even get these scissors as well because you can use these paper there's no no issues at all there but yeah I just wanted some that are never gonna be used on paper so anyway thank you for watching and I'll be back again soon with another video bye
