 Hey everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. So I recently received this very large box from Arteza. Now they did get in touch and said you know we want to send you this Christmas box. So I knew to look out for it. But just to give you an idea it's really really big box. I'm actually going to be using the box now to put all my Christmas stuff in. So once this is emptied it's going to be a perfect storage box. So yeah so this came and it's very heavy so I was very excited to get it. So I'm going to open it up. I have had a little peek but I haven't really looked into it in too much detail. So I've got some nice green tissue paper. I always save any tissue paper. And then we have this card here Happy Holidays and I like the Snow Globe. It's made up of all of their supplies. You've got watercolour pans, you've got your kind of your little tubes there, you've got pens, all the different markers. It's really really nice. I like that. It says Happy Holidays from Arteza. I love Arteza. So again this is always handy for packaging. So I've kind of spread that out and fold it back up again. Okay so what we get. Oh first of all these pop-outs have been. I have seen these on their site. I do lots of collaborations with Arteza products and I rave about them. I think their company is very good. I think for the price that these are I think their quality is very high. And I think they're nice. They are. You get great results and that you know I have so many videos. In fact I've got an Arteza playlist. So if you head to there if you've not even heard of the brand before or the company then yeah go have a little look and then you can get a bit more of an idea. So these here are the five and a half by five and a half. 110 pound watercolour books. I love watercolouring. That is my favourite of all kind of colouring is watercolouring. Although I'm slowly starting to get a bit of a love for alcohol markers now and colouring with that medium. But it's still my hearts with watercolour. So it's actually quite nice to have these small books. I've only got big books. I've got lots of different things that I've done over the years in my bigger books. So it's quite nice to have these little pocket ones. So you get a pack of three. I'll link everything below because again I didn't know I was getting any of this. So and I'll be able to try them out. My dad is a big watercolour artist. That's what he is. So I think I might give him one of these actually. And it'd be quite nice because we have said that in the new year we're going to go like away not away but you know just go out for the afternoon go walking somewhere. We've got lots of nice coastline and great views where I live and do some colouring. Some sketch and scenes and stuff. So it'd be quite nice. We've both got one of these each. So they're lovely. Nice size and they're I mean I am holding three but they're heavy. So it's a 230gsm. I said 110lb but that's 230gsm. It's smooth textured. Oh smooth and one side textured on the other. Okay so then we have okay I recognise this one. So I actually have this one. This is the watercolour half pans and I use them a lot. It's a really nice little travel size as well. You get your water brush there as well. You know I go I sometimes use water brushes but I'm still very much a paintbrush girl and and these are nice. You have you know all your kind of your your basic colours there and then once mixed you've got you know the colours are endless. So yeah no I love that one. I think this one here again I think I might give this to my dad. I think you might get some extra Christmas presents and then we have all this is good. So these here are so these are you can buy so the the water brush pens the yeah watercolour pens sorry and the alcohol markers. You can buy replacement nibs but you can buy additional pens in packs. So this one here is the tomato red and you get four of them in here. So that's really good because I know that when you start colouring you will everybody does but you will start to gravitate to certain colours so you might have a particular green that you love and that you use all the time and mix with maybe another green. It's nice that our taser allow you to be able to just top up that particular colour. So I'm just going to peel this off here just so you can see what we've got. So yeah so those are the four and this is what they look like and they're beautiful pens. I use these sometimes as well without adding the water just to get real you know nice little details. They have such a precision nib there as well for a brush pen you can see they're really lovely and you just clip them back in so you get four in there. So they sent me the tomato red so that's handy. So I'll add that to my current supply and then here I can see these are actually two of my favourite colours. I wonder if they actually listen to my video. Well I know they watch the videos because they comment on them and they thank me for doing them but I'm wondering whether they've heard me say things because this future I actually said in a few of my videos it's lovely it's such a nice colour and the sky blue I used this yesterday actually. So they will probably be one of the first to go so here again you get a pack of four. So that's it's really handy so thank you for that. Oh and they sent me I've got this colour here so this is fresh green. It's quite nice actually they sent the Christmas colours for the tomato red and then the fresh green. So again pack of four. So I've got my watercolour ones and I've got my alcohol marker. Then they've got these I've seen these on the website and I've been kind of undecided whether to you know because they asked me you know to pick stuff each like six weeks something like that. So here these are fairy dust and moonstone and these are holographic chunky glitters and these are perfect for shaker cards. Let me just take these out they're really nice actually because online you can't you never really get a good idea of glitters you need to see I'm ripping the box so you need to see someone using them you know in a demo or something to really kind of see what they're like and I hadn't really seen these so I think that's why I was a bit unsure but look at the pieces in that. So there's like loads of like hexagon kind of little shaker pieces. Let's open it up this way so it's a lovely little so when those little kind of eye shadow things can you see I don't even want to breathe but there is see all those pieces that is gorgeous. I've been nice for my underwater cards so that's that one and this one here is what colours did I say they were so this is fairy dust this one. Now this must be oh yeah fair look at that but it's the big pieces that are in it. That's beautiful. Again it's going all in that box shake that off so nothing comes out. So that's lovely then we've got what we've got here so this is I think I've got these oh what is that I know something different I's got a different I know sorry I'm reading it the wrong way around yeah the metallic gouache paints and these are lovely these are the tubes and I've used these actually again quite a bit on some of my like I call it like my private work it's stuff that I do off-camera and when I relax so and these are beautiful and I have some project ideas to use them in the new year so I will be sharing these ones but I think again I'm going to give these to my dad. Sue's got a nice little Christmas present there so thank you Arteza because he's another fan he loves the product and then this one here again I've seen this but I've never this reminds me of when I was a child so this is your 24 sheets of scratch paper card so I am already thinking well I'm not going to use them for how they're meant to be used I will look at ways to incorporate this on card making and using my dies I think it could create some really fun effects so basically what this is is it's it's like if you've ever had a scratch card and you scratch off the silver and it reveals something underneath well underneath this is just a load of like rainbow cardstock and then there's like a sheet of in this case it's black and you scratch it away and this is what you get so when you scratch it all different parts you'll get different things but if you were to scratch it and use your dies and you could maybe do some scratch this on the card so people actually have to scratch the card and yeah I think that could be quite fun actually so already I've seen how to make this work for me because I think sometimes you see this and you just think yeah that's just for children but you could make some really quite really fun scratch cards on your greeting cards so this is your rainbow patterned sheets vibrant colors soft a scratchable surface spiral bound and you get 24 sheets so actually yeah that's yeah quite good and it says it's for 3 plus but I'm going to show you some fun cards I think already I've got some ideas so yeah thank you again Arteza that's very kind of you so that was what they've sent me in the box but then also they did ask if there was any other extras that I would like so I got these here so this is the ever blend markers and this is the gray tones you get 36 and then I've got the 36 portrait tones so the initial 60 pack you don't get these in there might be a few doubled colors but you don't get these ones in and then I think 120 they are included I need to double check that it will all be listed below in the description box but I've really been getting into using the alcohol markers and I just thought there was times when I was using the ones I had and I thought I could really do with a lighter shade in that color or I needed a darker gray or something and especially when I was I was coloring my images and they were little critters or they were you know figures I needed the right skin tones and some of the colors I had just weren't quite right so now I'm really looking forward to having this lovely selection because I've got some really nice stamp sets that I haven't really used yet because I haven't got the right kind of colors and I wanted to use obviously alcohol markers but here you can see those there so you've got porcelain peach you've got let's pick out some other what are the colors you've got tan rose we've got butterscotch orange chai latte obviously it can be used you know not just for skin tones but there's just macaron pink so I don't have that one peaches and cream and they're great for when you want to do like little like blusher like rosy cheeks as well and I've been you know doing that a lot muted rose pink earth red and what we've got in this one here so you've got espresso brown so I've already got that one but haven't got brick red teak brown goldstone red caramel brown marmalade orange desert rose mute peach so it'd be really nice to swatch these out because I've done the swatches for my other ones but I need to swatch these now and and add these with all the others so okay so that is everything so thank you so much Arteza for sending me the Christmas box you are like I said they are extremely kind as a company their customer service is lovely they're quick to respond and yeah I
