The fabulous our guest is with us today with lots of brand-new items for you, bringing you a festive crystal arty Christmas, and I feel that's the best kind of Christmas, isn't it, really? Absolutely. All the sparkle. All the sparkle. You need the sparkle at Christmas. If you want to keep those messages coming in for our guest, or you want to show us some photos of things that you have crystal arted, we would love to see them, so get your messages in studio@hobbymaker.co.uk. But right now, time for a demo. Right. So I was showing you earlier the lovely little MDF hanging decorations we've got here. These are all ready cut, so they will just pop out of the carrier sheet. I'm going to show you on the Christmas trees, and they all come with some film on it. You probably can't see that film, but it's holding- The temptation is to try and yank that off- Yeah ... but don't do that. No, don't. So you want to keep that because you don't want to put your fingers and things onto that glue. You want to keep it super sticky. Now, before I start, I'm going to load my pen, and whenever you open one of our kits, you'll get your tool kit in there. So you'll get your tray, your jelly wax, and a double-ended pen. So you've got one end which will pick up single crystals, and when I'm first loading a pen, I tend to go in twice. That's just a personal thing for me. And then if you- Just to make sure you get the wax in there. Yeah. I want to make sure I've got a good start. A full tip. A good start, yes. And then you've got another end that will pick up three crystals at a time. So if you're doing a large canvas, like some of our triptychs, it's very useful to have that, and you can load that end as well with that jelly wax. The jelly wax does come with a little bit of film on it. So again, you just peel that back before you press. Anything that comes with a film on it, keep the film on there. Yeah. You don't want to dry it. Peel it back, and then obviously when you're finished, peel it back into place. You don't want to dry that out. So it's a bit like a paint by numbers crystal art. So you'll see there's either letters or numbers in the little circles that are on your decoration. I can see that the red baubles are letter E. So I'm going to look at my crystal packs, and you can see here I've got... There's two lots in this. I've got E here, which is the red crystals. They're rhinestones. So I've got... Just nick those out. Now, they are perforated. I would recommend anything you need to add in, use a pair of scissors because- Quite easy with scissors ... you don't want to pull them apart because you could end up with a pfff- Everywhere ... a crystal shower. Yes. We've had a message through from a viewer, who is in the Isle of Wight. I love the Isle of Wight. Hello. Let's see what a viewer says. "Hello, everyone. Brightening up a wet and miserable day." Ah, if we're bringing the sunshine and the crystal, then we are very happy. "Love craft buddies, so enjoyable and relaxing to do. How does one choose those?" Says a viewer in the Isle of Wight. I'm a great believer, if you have an itch, then scratch it. So if you see something that you like, whether it's the triptych, whether it's the gnomes, whether it's Santa, whether it's the hanging panels, or whatever it may be, pop it in your basket and treat yourself. And obviously, spend within your budget. But I just think treat yourself. How do you choose? They're all brilliant. So it's win-win whatever you pick. And I think the thing is, it's one of those crafts, if you've never tried it before- Mm-hmm ... you're going to find it's very addictive. Once you've had a go at something small, like one of the decorations- Mm ... and you really discover you love it, or if you manage to get hold of the card kit that we had on with the pearl art and things, they're really good ways of introducing yourself. And you'll find you'll end up wanting to make these big canvases, and you'll end up with walls covered in beautiful sparkle. That is true, isn't it? I think once you start to crystal art, it's very hard to go back. Yeah. And it's- It's very hard to say, "No, I'm not doing it." Yeah. And it's so relaxing. Like I said yesterday, I spent the day making all those baubles up. Just the rain was pelting down outside. Yeah. I love it. You're staying nice and warm. I know. Not being blown outside. It's like you're doing these. It's fabulous. Absolutely. So all I've done is decant some of those crystals into the tray. When you give it a little shake, you'll notice it's got little ridges, and it will flip the crystals up so that they're shiny- So clever ... side facing. I... It's... Yeah. I don't know who came up with it- ... but it's simple. I don't even know how that works. I just love the fact that it does. Yeah. And so then all I'm going to do is look for wherever there's an E on this little tree and place those crystals down. And some people like to work one decoration at a time. Some people like to go through all decorations and do all of that one color. It really is up to you how you prefer to work. But all you're doing is lightly tapping that crystal. The lighter you are with your touch, the longer the jelly wax in your pen will last. Okay. Just work your way around that decoration. And you can see I've got my fingers on that film- Yeah ... so that I'm not taking off any of that glue. I do find this is such a mindful thing to do, because I've done it with the grandkids, haven't I? Yeah. Yeah. It was like they loved it, and I was like, I did as well, because I'm... I think you'd probably gather that our guest. I'm quite sort of, argh. So it's like, I love it. Something like this that calms you down and just gives you something to concentrate on. Yeah. You can see I've flipped that one over, but just wedge it into place. Now, because this glue is permanently tacky, you do get movement with it. When you've added some crystals and you want to make sure that they're in place, just press down with the film laid back over the top, and just keep working your way around until you've completed all of that color. Now, what I would say about these is they are double-sided, so you've got two sides to do. They're nice little projects, and they look so effective when they're finished. You're just going to love them. Whether you use them as hanging decorations, whether you use them as special sort of embellishments for napkins on your Christmas table, whether you use them as gift, special gift sort of tags to add to a present. I like giving a gift on a gift, if you know what I mean. Mm-hmm. They're just... They'd also... They'd fit in c******s if you make your own c******s, wouldn't they? Well, I was going to say, or advent calendars. We had that fabulous advent calendar on with a viewer in the last hour. Yeah. And I think, do you do advent calendars at all, do you? We bought one on the 4th. It might still... I'm not sure if it's sold out, but there's still some on the website. Would something like this fit into the advent calendar? Not the one I bought you, but- Okay ... you could easily fit these into an advent calendar. That's what I'm thinking. It would be lovely, wouldn't it? Yeah. So if you want to start using these, every day you get one of these out and then do it with the kids, whatever. What a lovely way to build it up until Christmas. Yeah. So when you finish, you do get little zip lock bags in your kit. Obviously, we do lots of storage, and you saw the storage from earlier as well. But these are so that when you're finished, you can just decant your crystals, whether it's into a little pot or one of the little bags. Get those all in there. Now, what I like to do when I've got an open packet is I'm just going to fold that over and stick that in, so I've still got the letter on there. Nice. Because you don't want to Especially when you're doing a larger kit because you'll end up with lots and lots of colors. Yes. You want to know what's what, which color is which. You want to keep it. You can write on these bags as well with a pen or whatever. But also we do have, of course, obviously we had that mega art kit at the beginning that's probably sold out now, unfortunately. Yes, I'm probably- But don't forget we do have, or we should have, in the brand shop, crystal art fabulous craft buddy storage as well, with the little pots and things like that for your crystals. Absolutely. Yeah, we've done lots of storage in the past. There might be some of that on our later hour with our guest, I'm being led to believe, which is wonderful. Right. You've got the thread here as well, of course. Yeah. So once you've finished, you've got your thread to just pop through to hang your decoration up. It really is that simple. And I think it's an absolute joy, it really, really is. So if you want to go for this one, £18.99 for the Hanging Decoration, the gingerbread keepsakes. How many of those are we making? 12, isn't it? 12. There's 12 in this kit. Pass that box over. Oh, no, we've got pictures. Fine by me. Okay. So you can see the 12 sweet decorations that you've got there. £1.58 per decoration, which is brilliant. And they are double-sided as well, so they have got like an acrylic side, which you don't put the crystals on, but you have got the design there, which is wonderful. Right. Next up for you, let's go for some more crystal art, but this time around, of the stampy variety. These, the prices are phenomenal. And I think if you're getting that free gift, if you're trying to work up your basket to over £40, excluding your P&P, then these are going to be brilliant for you because these could take the price up to just over £40. Let's start with this one. This is our all kinds of sentiments and embellishments that we have for you here. And you've got a lot of stamps here, our guest. You have. So you've got 15 stamps in here. You've got six large sentiments. Hang on, our guest, you've got to give me that price. There you go, sorry. No, not at all. Adam, can you satisfy our guest with your clock, please? Thank you. Lovely. Let's get that price down. As you were, our guest, back to you. Right. So you've got six large sentiments in here. You've got a border stamp, you've got some decorative flourishes, you've got three corners, you've got some clusters as well. You've got a heart cluster and a star cluster. So you can really sort of embellish those cards. And I wanted the stamps on the show because with the crystal art kit and the pearl art kit that you've got in there, these fit beautifully as sentiments inside. With the paper crafting kit, it also means that you can extend it, from all the pieces you've got- Let's get that price down ... with the stamps. £14.99 was not good. £5.39 is sensational. Wow. That's, for an eight, for an A5 stamp set, that is- I don't know whether we've done these prices before. Do you know what? I don't care. We haven't done it before. Not this low. 36p a stamp, which is phenomenal. So if you'd like to go for those, pop them in your basket. Like I say, if you're spending £35 or something and you want to get it up to above 40, that could come in very handy, because if you spend above 40, you will receive a free gift. It's just the first 400 customers, and we've had a lot of customers today. And that is your free gift that you see there. Over 154 card making pieces for you there. Lots of fabulous stuff. Next up for you, we've got our seasonal greetings. These are fab. Yeah. Again, so this is our Christmas set. So if I bring that bauble back in. Hang on. Adam says, "Please can we do it again?" So Adam, whip out your clock. Thank you, sir. Oh, goodness. I know. This is a really lovely set. Three times. So yeah, you've got eight, so eight, oh, maybe one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, ten sentiments in this one. You've got borders, corners and embellishment stamps. And what I love about them is the size of them, but these are some, these all will fit inside those fillable baubles that I showed you. So this is the stamp from here- And we will again, yes ... the one that fits that at the back, the one that's stamped. Can you see? So even the little holly that makes the border on that is in this set. Let's get that price down. It's now not £14.99, look, it's not even £9.99. We've got it down to £8.99. It's a good price. That is a good price. Wonderful, isn't it? That's a good price. And great for this season. Whether you're using them on the front of cards, whether you're using them inside for your sentiment inside your card, they're just great to add to your stash. I do love it as well, the mixture of fonts. Yes. So, it's nice to have that sort of eclectic. And there's bits that you can add on to extend as well. So you've got, from our home to yours, but that could be Merry Christmas from our home to yours, season's greetings. Happy holidays to you. Yeah. Joy to the world. You've got lots and lots of lovely- From our home to you. Yeah, you can mix and match, couldn't you? Yeah. Peace and joy. Peace and joy, joy to the world. Merry Christmas, joy to the world. You've got so many there, haven't you, that you can mix and match with. £8.99 is your price on that one. See, that was a good reminder to me to not repeat everything that's said in my ear. Because Adam just went, "Peace and joy, joy to the world." And I repeated it. I thought, "Now, you wouldn't put those two together, would you? Joy, joy." Maybe he would, but I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't either. Also, he was loving the reaction to him whipping his clock out again, when you went, "My goodness." It was like, "I love that." Well, yeah. I love it when, because you're just like, "Oh, wait, the price is going to be-" Well, this is it. We love that clock. Like really, really nice. Honestly, Adam would have it out all day if I let him, quite frankly. Just for you as well, look at these, using your stamps and your crystal art in conjunction with each other. Absolutely beautiful. It is an Angel policy, even with cards like this, isn't it? Yeah, absolutely. So anything that you've crafted for yourself that is our in-house designs, then you can make to sell or make to gift, whatever you like to do. Look at that. It's just lovely. Just lovely heat and emboss like that, don't they? Because the fonts are quite chunky. They've got a nice style to them, that sort of brushstroke style. Yeah. It's making a real feature of the sentiment, isn't it? Yeah. Which is lovely. Right, £8.99 your price on those. Right, shall we have another demo? We can do. What would you like to do? Lady's choice. I can stamp into one of the baubles for you. Yes, let's do it. That would be lovely. We've got about four minutes left on the show. Oh, that's fine. This has gone way too quick, this show. Well, yeah, I mean- But I think you'd agree there's a lot on the show. So obviously do check out any of the items on this show. Make sure that you check out your baskets to secure your purchase. We have got the lovely our guest back later as well. You are back at 7:00. I am. With a completely different show. So things on this show, they may be repeated on that show, I don't know whether they will. But it's a completely different show, which is phenomenal. Yeah. So I've got my stamp. Mine are very well used. Please ignore them. That's all right. I'm sure lots of people will resonate with that. And I've got my bits and pieces for my bauble. So there's one side that I crystallized. I've got the topper and the velvet, sort of style ribbon- Mm. They get that season ... that goes in those. Yeah. All I've done to make the other side of my bauble is on some stamping card, I've just drawn around it and cut it out. So I love this idea of putting photos and stuff in there as well. Exactly. Little gifts. Whatever you've made for yourself, it's just nice. Anything that will sort of fit in there. I just- A rolled up money if that's what you want to give. That was Christmas. I was on air at, I think it was, I was in talks with Sin Wan then. But last Christmas I was on air here wasn't I? Hobby Maker. We all got dressed up. Yeah. So I've got a photo on my phone of me, Levi, Taz. Who else was in that day? A viewer. Of course. How could I forget a viewer? And then a viewer and a viewer, all dressed up for Christmas. And that would be lovely. I could put that in a bauble, and then it would be hung on the tree. Absolutely. And then you can change that up every year. Yes. So, like I said, like if it- Well, if you've wrecked it, I can put somebody else in there, couldn't I? Excuse my... That's my mucky mat. Mucky mat. If you know me, I always have a mucky mat. So are you, now, would you say that you're a mucky crafter? I think the evidence- Because a viewer called herself a dirty crafter earlier ... I'm, yeah, I'm a bit of an inky mess. Inky mess. See, that sounds more crafty than like- ... dirty crafter, doesn't it? An inky mess. Let's have this one because it's a nice large sentiment. So this one is, "Have a holly jolly Christmas." Lovely. Okay, you can see the size of that. I'm going to stamp that in some red ink onto my little bauble that I've drawn around and cut out. We've got two minutes left, my love. Are you a big one for Christmas, then? I imagine you are. I absolutely love Christmas. When I was a teacher, they used to call me a viewer. Christmas. Oh, how lovely is that? Because I was- How old were the kids that you taught? Old. Which... Well, I taught for 25 years, so some of the- So the ones that called you a viewer. Christmas? Oh, goodness, that was just a, that was- A few ... from various places. So I used to basically Christmas the entire school. You know when you go to a school, and they don't like this, and they don't like whatever? I would just like hijack it and make sure they- Every school needs a viewer. Hanlon, quite frankly. I did. So I was quite famous for Christmasing everywhere. Oh, my word. Infamous. Infamous at Christmas. Well, quick one to our new viewers as well. We've got new customers today, new viewers coming through and joining us here at the Hobby Maker family. Don't forget, if you do want to order anything, you can carry on ordering after the hour. You can go to the website for that. A viewer, come on in. It's your moment. Come inside. Come on. Come on. A viewer insists on it, so I assume you must as well. If you want to go to the website, all the W is what? Hobbymaker.com. Thank you, sir. Hobbymaker.com. What you didn't see is when I said a viewer went, "Oh. Oh." Right, you can see the little holly leaves. Just creating a little border. So you get two different sizes of holly sprigs in this stamp set as well. Lovely, isn't it? And then, so I mean, how simple was that? Moments- And you didn't even put that in your bauble. That could be a lovely gift tag. Yeah. So you can just draw around them. But all I'm going to do now is place one of them upside down, the other one on the top Fold that over, clip that on, and we now have sparkle on one side and a lovely sentiment on the other. So whether you want to put sweets in there, some of your sequins or whatever it is you want to put in there. Toffees. Yeah. Toffees. Toffees. I love a toffee. A lovely licorice as well. Yeah. Lovely licorice. If you would like to go for anything, please head to the website after the show. Our guest, thank you so much. You're always an absolute joy. Lovely to see you.

It's the wonderful our guest Girkin. How are you? Hello. It's been the longest time. I know. I didn't even know, that you were here today because I saw you in a house talking about your book. Oh, yeah, I was in a cottage in Derbyshire. Yeah, well, I assumed you were there. I was there till Thursday. Ah, right. And then I drove the car- ... down here. Yeah, yeah. Had a lovely time. It's very nice. You look lovely. But I'm so pleased to see you. I know. I can't believe how long it's been. It's been too long. You need to stop avoiding me. It feels mean. Ah. Honestly, I'll tell security. Don't get scared. Honestly, no, but it's so lovely to see you. No, it's so great. You're always a bundle of joy- Thank you so much ... with your creativity. And also, I know that crafting is your passion. Absolutely. It runs through your blood- Absolutely ... like the most craftiest of people, isn't it? So this month marks 10 years since I've been crafting. Aw. In about three months will mark eight years since I've been doing it professionally. On TV. Yes. Well, do you know what? We're so pleased to have you, which is good because we're going to keep you busy. Because we've got so many brand new things- ... from the fabulous Toni Derrick Stamps by Me. Let's start with the Golden Harvest. This is a fabulous collection. This is a full kit. Our guest, tell us about this one, my love. So this is going to make, okay, so it's going to make a minimum of 50 cards because you're going to get card blanks in here, and envelopes, and adhesive, and you're going to get these beautiful sort of boards that are going to be sort of the focal point of your gorgeous cards. But remember, I know you've got other stuff in your stash, you could definitely extend these, but you get five of each board. And you'll see in a moment that we get a little imagery that sticks, like an ATC card that sticks into that beautiful center. So this size? But absolutely, you could cut the middle out and be creating frames. You could snip it down and have like borders and things like that, snip into it. This is all uncoated, which means if you want to stamp on it, if you want to paste on it, you absolutely can. But ultimately, the idea here is if you literally want to make 50 gorgeous cards, you have the toppers to do that. You have the ATC card, you have the borders, you have the envelopes, and the cards all ready to go. And that's what I love about it. Say, for example, you're doing like a group with your friends or family. You could pop this in the middle of the table, and everyone can have fun with it, creating different cards. Because like I say, you also get sentiments to work with. There is also a die in this kit. But please, if you are sort of new to your crafty journey, don't let the fact that there's a die in it put you off because the thing that it cuts out is obviously to make your life easier. But you could easily do it with a pair of scissors if you're not in that journey part yet where you've got a die, so don't be like... But can we talk about some of this imagery? Ooh, gorgeous. The absolutely gorgeous golds and orange. I love those, the little mushrooms, or do you call them fungi when they're that big? I don't know. I call everybody fungi. I would say that though, it's probably a toadstool. Oh, how do you tell the difference then? Eat them and watch if you fall over. That's it. I think you can eat mushrooms, but you shouldn't really eat toadstools. So if you survive, it's a mushroom. If you survive, it's a mushroom. If you don't, it was a toadstool. Look at this Yeah. Oh, that's so nice. Oh, they're so cute. And you're so right. I mean, the imagery, I mean, that is so dramatic. It's beautiful. And again, if you pop that into one of those- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm ... sheets, I mean, just divine. And it fits beautifully. And I love the fact that it kind of creates this gorgeous frame, this element. But again, if you want to snip into them and do decoupage with pieces, because you get multiples of each, so you definitely can do that. And then, you're also going to get a plethora of sentiments. You are. And these sentiments, you mentioned about that die, our guest. Yes. Right, we have the die here. Okay. And you look at that die and think, "Well, what's that going to cut out?" Voilà. That's what it's going to cut out. And that is the one that goes through, I think, every die cutting machine. Yeah, those little miniature ones that people have got, that definitely go through. But as I said, this is kind of what I mean. If you're not there with the die cutting machine yet, I think you could probably snip these out with scissors. Yes. So, don't panic if you're thinking, "Well, I don't have a die cutting machine, our guest." Don't worry. "May your autumn be filled with golden moments. Gather, give thanks, and enjoy. Wishing you a season of..." What does that say down the bottom? "... of, oh, warmth and joy." Sorry, I couldn't read- ... from upside down. But this is lovely to see all of these sentiments in there as well. Yes. I mean, I know this is an autumnal collection, but I've got to say, I think this goes beyond autumn. Absolutely. I mean, I think the thing is, sometimes there is pumpkins a little bit in here, which kind of makes it seasonal, but ultimately, you've got forestry imagery here. You've got mountains and things like that. Maybe you've been on some incredible holiday, and actually you take it out of making cards and you add these elements for scrapbook pages or photo albums. You could absolutely do that too. Complete angel policy as long as you credit the designer. As long as you're creating, yep, you can be selling. I love this. I love that sentiment, "Leaves may fall, but our friendship stands tall." See? Ah. Not seen each other for nine years- ... but we're still standing tall, girl. Then you've got all of your cards and all of everything. Yes. So obviously, 50 of each of these. You've got your card base, you can see there. Really good weight as well. And they are tent fold. I love that it's a top fold card. Yeah. Because I think these are really sort of underrated, but they look really cool when you have them like that. Yes, they do. What are you even doing about that? Okay. So, guys, if we win this game, we get to cross off another sprite for us. Guys, the question is- Yeah ... what do I cross off? Sorry, I didn't want you to hear that last part. Yo, Togo, you made this dude mad. Oh, yeah. What the freak? Who does he think he is? Oh. Dang it. Yo, chill. Don't be that guy, all right? Nice job crashing out. Way to crash and burn. I just revived you, bro. I was about to say a bad word, bro. I'll tell Nick. V Jam, what's good? How you doing today? Welcome. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Guys, which sprite do we cross off? Wait, it's two v one, bro. Oh. There's no way we lose this. No, we're definitely not losing this, but... Ah. I might be able to cross out another pumpkin. £2.98. Not even in the thirties anymore. It's down to £29.99. Wow. So, you get your paper pads, and also you have got this, your fabulous die set that you have here. This is absolutely gorgeous. Can I just say as well, when you see- It's the stencil as well, isn't it? Absolutely. So, you've got the layering stencil there. I think it's got four or five stencils, I can't remember, in it. And what it means, it creates this beautiful element here. And then obviously you can leave as is, but then you also get the dies if you want to die cut it out and create sort of an embellishment, you can as well. And can I say, this is so, so simple to do, and yet it creates something quite stunning. I love the fact that changing the color ways changes the look of the flower as well. But it really is a really simple and easy way just to get a couple
0:30 of different color tones, and you can be creating. That lives up to its name, doesn't it? I love that so much. What you could take this on, like a little fence as well. That's lovely. Yes. Yeah, a little trellis. Just lovely. Look at that as well. Again, snipping into it shows you that you don't have to use the whole of the flower if you don't want to. £29.99 for this one, so you have the stencil and the die set together. And I just think, I'm going to get a viewer to come in close on this. Ooh, I like that one. Because if you have a look, I mean, the detail that you have here. This is the joy of layering stencils, to try to get that kind of that 3D, such
1:00 artwork, such an artistic look as that. But anybody could do this, our guest. And look, when you die cut it as well- ... these elements, I mean, they've been stuck down, but these element there, it pops up as well. So, that's adding to that 3D nature that our guest's talking about too. It looks really lovely. Makes it look random punctures. I don't know what that's even got to do with it, Absolutely. I love it. And again, on the back of the packaging, it shows you how that stencil works down at the bottom there. And so even if you've got this home and you're thinking, "Well, I'm not sure what's going on," it's really simple and easy to use because you've got that little cheat sheet on the back. Just gorgeous. I need to see all of these samples-
1:30 Yeah ... because they're just so good. Approaching 10% of our brand new stock has already gone on this one. WZOT41- ... is your item code on this one. If you would like to go for it, either order on the phone lines, free phone telephone number 0800 001 004 003. You can phone our call center, free phone right now. You can go to the Hobby Maker app if you want to order there, or you can go to the website. And that website is, tell the world, all the W's what? Hobbymaker.com. Hobbymaker.com, that is the one. That's good. That's very good. Good. Very clear. I like that.
2:00 Strong. Good diction. I've said that about that boy before. Right. Let's go for our next item, shall we? Which is our stencil and ink bundle, which is that one there. Thank you, darling. Now, the inks, to say first off, your colors may vary. Mm-hmm. You are going to get five of the inks. Yes. The fabulous iZink die. Oh, hang on. Adam's got something for you. Oh, another one. Yay. Oh, yeah. If it's worth doing once, it's worth doing again- ... quite frankly. So, you are going to get five of the inks. The ones that we have in this particular collection, you can see the colors that we have here. But yours may be different.
2:30 Yeah. You are going to get colors may vary. But you can see you've got all of these in there. So, there will be a selection of different color inks in there for you. What do you call it, iZink or iZink? iZink. I think. iZink. Okay. Because I don't know. I think so. I don't know. Yeah, Tony said iZink back in the office. Did he? Okay, fine. Yeah. If you've never seen those before as well, can I just comment on how juicy they are? And if you're thinking, "Our guest, juicy? What?" Ink pads being juicy means that they blend really well, and it also lasts a long time, and they're so good, those iZink, iZink, whatever you call it.
3:00 Oh, whatever. If Tony's watching, is it iZink or iZink? I mean, I think it's iZink, but now I'm doubting myself. Either way, whatever they call it, they're great. Like, I always go iZink, as in I'm ink. Yeah. It's iZink. iZink. Yeah. But I did say iZink just a second ago, I think. You can see, now you're confused. You don't know. Sorry. I'm like, "Whatever." The tailor made Carter- Whatever they're called, they're amazing. They are brilliant. The price has gone down, £19.99, so a half price deal on this. This is the other part of the collection that you are getting as well. So, our guest, take us through this. Again, a stencil and die.
3:30 Okay, so with this one, again, what you're going to do, you're going to see that gorgeous layering stencil that's going to create all the different elements, that the die will then cut out for you. So, you'll see that- Wow ... as you do the sort of layering, the different color tones that work. I love this- Gorgeous ... because I'm such a fan of monochrome, because that's so cool. Look, you just use your grays and your blacks, and it still looks absolutely stunning. And not even cut it out, just kept as is. And remember, you can see with these ones, obviously you're getting those inks with your collection. But absolutely, if you want to use paste through your stencils,
4:00 these stencils are all wipe clean, so it absolutely doesn't matter kind of which ones, sort of which medium you want to use. And again, it doesn't matter what colors you want to use, but I think these are so stunning. I think they are. The design team do such a fabulous job. They really do. But just, I mean, yes, it's a wonderful combination, isn't it? I mean, having those iZinks there, but also getting the stencil and die set, allowing you again to create these most wonderful end results. Yeah. Stock wise on this one, did we just say 10%? Oh, 20% of the stock is now.
4:30 Ooh. I love it. I've missed your noise as well. With the inks as well. I love it. Yeah. Just give a little noise. You always give a, "Woo." Woo. Love it. I realized actually that, because we had, a couple of weeks ago, I was on a show with a viewer, and there was a die that said wow. And I went back and watched the show, and I counted that I said wow about like 17 times. It was a good word though. I remember years ago, I was on QVC- Oh, yeah ... selling suntan lotion in January, which wasn't going down well, let's be honest. And my mum, this is a long time ago. I was only on there once, and basically, my mum, I phoned my mum up afterwards.
5:00 It was my first bit of shopping TV I ever did. Oh, wow. And I phoned my mum up, I was like, "Oh, did you watch it?" She went, "You said absolutely 28 times." Oh, no. And apparently I did. Was she telling you off? Well, she was a little cross. Yeah. Saying these things only mums can. I think my aunt always says that I'll say something and I'll go, "You know what I mean?" She's like, "Yes, our guest. Yes. Just stop doing that." And I must say it all the time because she comments on it all the time. It's one of those things, isn't it? I mean, it's just when you have those sort of safety words and you-
5:30 Yeah. As soon as someone mentions it though, you say it way more than you would normally. Apparently I say, "I've got to say" a lot as well. I've got to say. And on the radio I say, "I've got to say." It's like, "Oh, oh, shut up." £19.99 is your price on this one. That's amazing. Busy, busy, busy. JJ, everyone, you are all in. Next up, let's go to our Quattro Di Magnolia we've got for you. Oh, I love the Quattro Di. That's what I mean. "Oh, the Quattro Di." There you go. So this is your Quattro Di. I'm like a little excited Energizer bunny. No, it's brilliant. Well, explain Quattro Di.
6:00 Yes, absolutely. Because it is incredible. Absolutely. Good to go. I'm too tired. So how Quattro Di works is it's the four most sort of used techniques within card making. So you get your layering stencil, you get your stamp, you get your die, and then finally you get your embossing folder to create sort of one of those things that you would see on a really high quality greeting card that you would purchase. That's the thing, is it's the idea of making this incredible artist out of you, but it's so easy and simple to do. And when I say simple and easy, please don't take
6:30 that as a diss. No. The idea is that it's not going to be in any way stressful. It's a very simple system to follow. I think systems like this- ... and a lot of the layering stencils and dies that we've shown just now, they are confidence boosters. Absolutely. You are 100% right. I don't believe that anybody couldn't create something stunning when they've got this in their stash. Yeah. I mean, I hate the phrase a leveler because I just think no, everybody's slightly different. Mm-hmm. But I just love the fact that this boosts you to a level where you think, "I can do this," because you can. Because if you follow the instructions-
7:00 Mm-hmm ... that is the kind of end result that you are going to get. That to me, I remember seeing layering items for the first time ever. It blew my mind. Yeah. I can't believe how you can take something completely flat, and just by using maybe a few different colors of ink and things like that, and you create something that feels so 3D. It looks like somebody's been painted. Absolutely. It looks somebody's been fiddling with pencils or something. It looks like somebody's sat down and done, like their shade there. Yes. It's like they've looked at the flower to see how authentic it needs to be. But this has been done for you. And do you know what? I will tell you, I'm useless at floral things, and so having
7:30 something like this, I think it's you hit the nail on the head, is when you get to the end- Mm ... how... Like, when you feel so prideful about what you've created- ... it means that you then want to create more. And having a system like the Quattro Di in your stash means that you're going to be able to create so often. And can I also say, someone you're pulling along with you on your crafting journey will be able to create with these also, and so you're going to start getting people that really enjoy doing it because it's such a simple system to work. And they also work completely individually as well. The four techniques work perfectly as individuals, but just that stunning way when
8:00 you put them all. This is... I mean, as our guest says, you've got the four things that work beautifully on their own. But if you want to put them together, boom. Boom. I mean, just boom. Boom. It looks so good. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Right, so if you want to go for that one, £34.99 is your price on that. Next up for you are... Can I just say, now, Taz, our producer, just called this one Oty. It's Otty, isn't it? Because he's an otter. Is that... Isn't that... I love Oty. Otty. Is it Oty or Otty? Which way?
8:30 Do you know what? It's the same as the idea with Izzit and Izink. I am not great at... Like, I don't know. Either way, he's as cute as a button. He... You could... I think that whatever you call him, he is fabulous. Yeah, he is. He is. I could call him Otty because that's what- Otty. Fair enough ... he is in my mind. Fair enough. You've got Otty and Friends. So again, you've got all of these fabulous stamps. So here you go, let's look at the stamps to begin with. Look at this. This is fabulous. So you've got all of your aquatic creatures and everything. So you've got your fish, whale, and your otter, of course.
9:00 And look, you've got your arrows there. You've got guess what surprise ticket. These are your reveal, aren't they? Yeah. Because you've got stamp and reveal. So how is this working, our guest? So the idea is when you've got your first stamps, you're going to stamp out whichever character that you want to work in your project. And then you'll see with the bubble for the fish, the little banner for our otter, or the little balloon for the whale, these elements with different sort of messages are going to go into those. And then in your packaging, you get these strips and circles of silver and gold that then cover up the message, and then the person can,
9:30 you know, do it with their fingernail or a coin, and they can reveal something special. So scratch and reveal. Yeah. Wouldn't it be great if it was scratch and sniff? Do you remember those? Oh, scratch and sniff. I loved scratch and sniff. Do they still do those? So good. I remember that the Children in Need had this thing, and out throughout the night you had to scratch a different one and it smelt like a different thing. These are not scratch and sniff, these are scratch and reveal, but- I remember going to the cinema once to see a film that- Yes ... I mean, I won't say what the film was, but I went to the film and they gave you a scratch and sniff card. Oh, wow ... and at certain points of the film, like if they were out in the garden having
10:00 the barbecue, it's like, "Scratch this bit-" That's so cool ... and you could smell the burgers or whatever. It was great. Oh, brilliant. Honestly, I don't know if that's still a thing, scratch and sniff. I hope it is. I don't know. I've never seen it. I don't... I've not seen it for many, many years. The kids would be- They're missing out on scratch and sniff. It's like literally, "Get off your iPads and scratch and sniff, that's what I say." These are fabulous. They are so lovely. So at £34.99 is your price for these. And would you like to go for that one? And can I tell you, can I tell you my favorite fact about an otter? Yes, please. So otters sleep in the water, so they fall asleep whilst they're in the water.
10:30 Yeah. So what they do is they hold hands with their other otter friends- This is true ... so that they don't, like, whoosh off into the water. And I've seen pictures of them all, like, in little rings just holding hands. I just- See, that's gorgeously romantic ... It's so lovely. It really is. It's so lovely. Just the same with the sentiments that you have here as well- Yes ... the things that you can reveal. Look at these. So you've got, "You're otter this world." "You otter be proud," "otterly fantastic," "stay otterly cool." Then you've got, "You're so whale-come." I love that, whale-come. "Whale, that's so fantastic," "have a whale of a time," "have a
11:00 whaley good day," "you're a real catch." If somebody said to me, "A viewer, you're a real catch," I would be like, "Hello." True. "Fish you were here." That is a Valentine's Day card, isn't it? Yes, absolutely. It's gorgeous any day. Any day that someone wants to make you feel good. Like that. Want to make you feel good. "Whale hello there," "you're fin-tastic," "I'm hooked on you," "you're the reel deal," and, "fish you were here." Someone had some great fun with puns, didn't they there? Do you want to see it... Do you want to do it?
11:30 Can you just... Okay. I can, but I will get a little bit of silver under my fingernail, so I wouldn't necessarily... But you just- Could you do it with a coin if you... Oh, no. Absolutely. I would do it with a coin. I wouldn't do it with your fingernail like I am. Oh, this is going to be I'm hooked on you, isn't it? And then there you go. I'm hooked on you. Oh, that is so cute. Sorry, I was moving it because I was trying to get the bit off my finger. That's all right, my love. If you would like to give this, then £34.99 is your price. Now, one more to show before we let our guest loose for the demo, because we need to see if she's as good as I remember. Course she is. We've got a trimmer for you. For sure. Oh, no, you're always ace. This is the-
12:00 Do you want me to get an open one? Yeah. Yes, please. That'd be lovely. Yeah. In fact, do you want to show it on the overhead?
13:00 That's probably better, isn't it? You show it- What, over here? Yeah, show it over there. Okay, cool cool. So we've got the trimmer. This is your Fabulous Trimmers by Me Paper Trimmer. Our guest, why is this good? This is... So this goes to over 14 inches, which is great, because I mean, a high
13:30 amount of trimmers that you get go to sort of 12 inches. This comes out with a little extendable arm to get 14 inches. Hang on, our guest. Oh, sorry. Just before you carry on- Ooh ... Adam's got something for you. Boom. There you go. Quick, quick, quick. Yes, yes, yes. Boom. Oh, I'm so... Do you know it's being around our guest that just gets you feeling so, like, elated. Well, I'll take that as a review.
14:00 Yeah. Thank you very much. It does. So look out for the Hobbymaker tutorial page on YouTube.

15:00 People have checked out. Well done, everybody. You kept your end of the bargain, so we're going to keep our end of the bargain with a demonstration. Our guest's going to demonstrate a fabulous Quattro D. Okay, so when you get your Quattro D home, it's all going to be in this one package. All the elements are in here. It also gives you, if we look at the back of the box, or the, I don't know, box, yeah, let's go with box then- Packet ... packet. Much better. There you go. It's going to give you the details of each sort of step as you do it.
15:30 Now, you can stamp first, stencil second, stencil first, stamp it. It's kind of up to you. The only thing I would suggest is emboss after you've die-cut. Because if you emboss first and then die-cut, you might squish it down. Also, while we're looking over the top of here, I just want to quickly talk to you about this little QR code here. When you get this home, if you scan this with your smart tablet or your smartphone, it will take you to free inspiration with Toni at the How to Craft network. Not just for this product, but anything she touches. There's over 100 videos on there. I mean, more than that now.
16:00 Also, if you don't have a smartphone or a smart tablet, go to the How to Craft network, which is a Stamp & Me official page, and just type in the code and it'll take you to the same place. Right. So we're going to open our packet here, and we're going to take out all the elements. So you're going to get your die, you're going to get your stamp set, you're going to get your embossing folder, and we're going to start with our stencil. Now, obviously, if you're going for that collection, that's got the i-Ink, or I-ink, ugh, still don't know which way that goes.
16:30 You may get some of the colors that are going to work amazing with this collection. If you're going to get some greens and things like that, that would be fantastic. So this is my first stencil, and how I know that is there is a one. I know that you can't really see it. It's a bit tricky, but there's a number one here. This is twofold. One, to let you know that this is the first stencil, but also as long as all the numbers are pointing upwards, you know that you're stenciling it in the right side. So we're going to pop this... I really think if you could've seen that, the camera
17:00 person is incredible because it was tiny and it is hard. And then what we're going to do is I'm going to start with my lightest pink. Now, obviously you can use your brushes, but I'm going to use some daubers, and I'm just going to take some of the color. So this is probably the biggest one, and I'm just going to go down like so. Well, this dauber's a bit dry. Let's get a different one. Here we go. This is better. That's better. Look at that. Much better. Our guest, bring it towards me slightly, my lovely, if you would.
17:30 Thank you, darling. Is that better? Lovely. Spot on. Brillianto. So this is- Did you just say brilliento? Yes. That's a good word. I like that. Thank you. Brillianto. Don't know where it came from- I don't either ... but it feels good in my mouth. So as I said, this is the largest of all the stencils. So this is probably the one that's going to take you the longest, but just take a beat. And also, it's really important, if you are new to your crafting journey, and maybe you are going with a collection that's got the i-Inks, or I-Inks, they're going to be your first inks. Maybe you've got none in your stash yet.
18:00 Now I am going to use different tones of pink, but if you've only got one pink, you can use it multiple times. Just go soft on your first layer and slightly harder on your second layer. So as you see, it's like I said, this is going to take the longest, but we're nearly there. Oh, and if it moves like mine did, just pop it back in place. But you also get these little hearts on the corners. If you are sort of struggling with the stencil, you pop a little bit of ink in that heart, and it means it's really easy to layer up the next stencil.
18:30 Or you could low tack tape it down if you want to. You could indeed. Whatever works best for you. Then we're going to go to number two, which is the darker part of our flower. Again, I'm going to double-check where my two is. Where is it? There it is. We pop it down. We layer it over the top. I'm going to go from one color to a slightly darker color, and I'm just going to use my magnets to hold it in place and my hand.
19:00 Now don't forget, extra bits and pieces that you see the fabulous our guest use, like finger daubers and things like that, if it's a Stamps By Me product, if it's not on the show today, you can find it in the brand shop. Ooh. So do go and check that out on the website as well. Yeah. And of course, everything is covered under our one P&P of £4.95 for the entire day. Do you know what? I think that is so genius. What, the P&P? Yes, because how often does one sit and watch a show and like, "I don't want to miss out on that. Ah, but," and then the P...
19:30 It's like, I'll buy something and it's like £35 or something. I'm like, "I'm not going to pay the £2 P&P each time." So you don't have to do that. I agree. I just think it's so clever. Do you know what is one of my... I know you had a fun fact about otters- ... but one of my favorite facts that I have here at Hobbymaker- Yes ... is to say that £4.95 P&P- Ooh ... is less than the price of three first-class stamps. Oh, wow ... for the entire day. And that's no matter how heavy the item is you're purchasing. No matter the size of your orders, the weight of your orders. You could be like machines, it could be storage for crafts. Can it really?
20:00 Yes, it can really. Wow. I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it? And then we're going to go to number three. There it is. We don't mention it in front of management because the color drains from a viewer's face when you talk about it, basically. Oh, really? Once you've said it, you can't unsay it. Exactly. You don't have to end the show. You have new ones. And then I'm just going to change my dauber, and I'm going to go. And again, remember, if you are going for that collection with the i-Ink, this could be one of the colors you're getting. Yeah, obviously the colors will vary, and you'll get five different colors, if you
20:30 are going for that fabulous bundle with the carnation stamp and stencil. Absolutely, and these are dye-based, which means they are reactive with water as well. So if you like to do a little bit of spritzing, that's a great way to use them, too. I love stencils like this, though, because they do really make you feel so, so good about the end result. Yeah, I know I'm rushing as quick as I can because I want to show you the end result, but it's really quite relaxing as well because as long as you sort of follow the numbers, layer it up, it's really simple and easy to do.
21:00 And so you can definitely sit in front of the telly or if you've got a craft space, obviously you can do it there. And my list is in- So is crafting your kind of like quiet place then? Because obviously you are a ball of energy, and I love that, but is it the thing that sort of like keeps you grounded and gives you that sort of bit quality time in your own head kind of thing? When I'm alone crafting, you'll never find me more quiet. Yeah. Sometimes, in the past, not so much anymore, but what was quite funny, if I
21:30 was crafting with something that was going to be on a show I was doing, sometimes I'd talk about the product in the room. That's a good way, right? Just, yeah, just as a... I don't do it anymore really. And my mom would like, because I live with my mom, she would like walk upstairs and be like- "Who are you talking to?" ... "Who are you talking to?" So I stopped doing that. So yeah, I'm pretty quiet when I'm in my crafting moment. Also, I love crafting at like 3:00 in the morning- Oh, really? ... when there's no disturbance and you just stick something on your phone. Well, so do you wake up at that time or do you stay up till that time?
22:00 No, I mean, it depends. Sometimes I'm up. I'm like still up at like 3:00 in the morning ready to go, thinking about my youth when I used to club till that time of night. Oh my God. Well, I'm loving your stamina. But sometimes I wake up and I'm like, "Oh, I could do some crafting. I don't want to go back to sleep." So with this, just before I finish my three, this stamp is two sets because it's such a large one. So stamp the first one and then stamp the second half. I just find that works the easiest. Also, I would say, don't panic if you don't line it up absolutely perfect.
22:30 It's quite easy to see if you sort of look over the top, but don't worry if you don't do it too much. It's not about perfection. It's about creating something lovely. So I'm going to use my black ink here just to really show the colors. Sorry, I'm over here. That looks so good. Sorry, guys. And I'm just popping my ink on there. Now, I like to use my Eureka because this is quite a large stamp, and so if I need to re-stamp, I can. But if you haven't got a Eureka, there's other stamping
23:00 platforms. If you are someone who's great with a block, then I'm impressed with you So we're just dippy, dippy, dippy Because the Eureka we haven't got in stock at the moment. No. But I believe there's something exciting coming on that front, isn't there? Ooh. Is there? I don't know. Maybe I made that up. I'm sure Tony said it somewhere. Oh, really? We'll stop him in the corridor. Something I don't know. I don't know. Maybe I made that up. There's so... Do you know what? That lady's got so many wonderful brains. Maybe Tony's screaming at the screen right now saying, "Shut up." I can't remember. But I do think maybe there may be Eurékas in the future. Oh, okay. Well, that's very exciting.
23:30 And again, I'm just going to lay up that second half. So I'm going to pick that up, have my Eureka- That's so good ... and then I'm going to go like this, dippy, dippy, dippy, with my black ink. And again- And I know you're fab at what you do, but the thing is anybody can achieve that result. Do you know what? I take the compliment and I'm very appreciative of it, but this is nothing to do with me. This is just following the steps. It really is. Anybody can do it. And in fact, the Quatro-Ds, now Tony's brought quite a few to us
24:00 now, and of a weekend if the kids want to craft, I get these out a lot. They go like that. Half of the stock has gone on our Quatro-D our Magnolia now. Busy, busy, busy. So busy. Right. So I'm just going to get this done. This is the next stage. We're going to do our die. Now I think... Yes, I did. I left in the paper from the last time I did it, so I'm just going to take that out. Now this one again, slightly different to the Quatro-Ds you've seen before. This will cut out the central element, like the pieces, the islands if you will,
24:30 but it will leave the border so you can choose how big you want to be. So what I would do, if you are thinking you want this completely cut down, get yourself a trimmer, which luckily we have on the show, and you can trim this down to whatever size you want. So I just put some Motack tape in, and I bring in my... And I'll say it, if you saw my show the other week, I'll say it again, I always apologize about how messy my Stamps by Me die-cut machine looks.
25:00 Tony's always looks pristine. A viewer- How come yours is a bit mucky then? Why is mine mucky? Yeah. Because I'm a messy person. Well, is that tape on the top or is that feather dust? It's tape. Yeah. Just tape where I've gone like that and meant to... That's future our guest's problem. There you go. But it's now our guest is in the future, and she's showing it on television. Right. And then we'll take that off. So good. So this is what I was talking about. You can kind of trim it down or not- It's so good
25:30 ... as the case may be. It's completely up to you. And then finally, last step, thank you for sticking with me, guys, is our... Just hold two more pieces. Out you go. There we go. Is our embossing folder. Is it going to go in, or am I going to need to trim it first? Ooh. Because this is the great thing, obviously the Quatro-D, if you are new to this, you get the four things. You've got the layering stencils- ... the stamp- Let's trim it ... the outline die, and then of course the 3D embossing folder as well, to give
26:00 you that perfect end result. Everything marrying together beautifully in design and size. We've got a message from Aberdeenshire. This is from a viewer. Hello. She says, "Our guest, I love your passion and Dennis." Thank you so much. "A viewer, you are a hot choc on a cold day." Ooh, love that. I think, you are hot, to be honest. "A viewer, you're a hot choc on a cold day, warm and fuzzy for all around you." Oh, that's very nice. That is really lovely. I imagine- And very true
26:30 ... too much will make you sick, but there you go. But thank you very much. That's very nice. Good. There you go. Can we also comment about the fact that we just used the trimmer, no feathering, which is fabulous. And then we're coming with my final stage now that I've trimmed it down. Oh, no, wait. That's front. Other way around. Come on, our guest. There we go. So you can see once you've got it the right way round, it's the dipped part, you're going to find it easier. Layer it up.
27:00 Bring in your die-cutting machine. Whatever sandwich you need for embossing. Oh. Sorry, wrong sandwich. There we go. Nearly there. So we've done our stenciling with our different colors. We've done our stamping. Then we've done our die cutting. And finally, last stage, we have our embossing.
27:30 And what I'm going to do is I'm going to do it from the back because it will be easier to see that definition. Looks so good. Look at that. And so obviously you saw that I trimmed it down to the size that I wanted for the project. Completely up to you because we're going to get those islands out with the die. But how beautiful is that? And I know it took me a little bit of time, and I was rushing. Take your time. But it just looks so stunning. And that is a card. Mm. Sentiment, stick it on a card blank, you are done. It is worth it, isn't it? 34.99 for that one if you want to give your Quatro-D.
28:00 Obviously, it is a fabulous die selection, stamp selection, embossing selection, stencil selection. You've got it all going on in there. QZ0T31 is your item code there. QZ0T31. Now let's look at some lowest ever priced items for you. Let's go in with this one. This is your beautiful moment. This is your lamination stamps. Our guest, this is divine. It is really lovely. And so lamination has been around for quite a while.
28:30 Tony creates... What it is, the whole idea is she wants to make a sort of a watercolor artist out of everybody. And sometimes people can worry about doing watercolor because it doesn't go exactly where you want it to. The whole idea here is you get the silhouette part, use your inks that react to water, spritz it, let it dry, create a beautiful watercolor image, and then take the darker color, stamp over the top, and you've created something beautiful. And it takes the pressure out of watercolor for me, and it's
29:00 really easy to do. 12.99 is your price on this one, the lowest ever price that we have done on that. Grab it whilst we've got it. SK0T72 is your item code on that one. Next up for you, let's do this, your fabulous advent calendar. This is beautiful. Shall we do this on the overhead so you can actually see this also at home? Yeah, of course. Because this is stunning. Do you want me to take it? Sorry, mate, I think I ran over. Thanking you. There you go. Our guest, take us through what we've got here, my darling. Okay. So this advent calendar here, the whole idea is that it doesn't actually have
29:30 anything inside in terms of gifts. So the idea is that you are going to fill it with whatever you want. Obviously, you can be filling it with craft products. But ultimately, if you want to put chocolates in here, little bottles of perfume, stationery. I'm just going to move that out the way. What you'll see is you get the boxes inside. Now these all come flat packed. I've actually done this. I've built them up. They all come flat packed. And what's great is that there are no sticky elements on it. So once you've presented this with the person that you're giving the gifts to, they
30:00 can fold it back down, put it back in. Next year, you can repeat the process. So obviously you could give it to a loved one and they fill it for you. Or you're keeping it and you're filling it for someone else. Again, you could fit lots of different craft things in here, paper pads, pens, little stencils. You could put dies and things in here, whatever you wanted, or just fill it with lots of lovely things. Can I also say- We are limited stock on that one ... lots of nice. Can I say as well, as far as I'm aware, please correct me if I'm wrong, but the 12 days of Christmas start after Christmas, so that's the whole
30:30 idea. They do, yeah. Yeah, so that it's afterwards, the next 12 days. How cool would it be to fill something like this, put it under the Christmas tree, someone gets it on December 25th, and for the next 12 days, they open fun things. Because that gap between Christmas and New Year is a bit rubbish, so having this means that there's something amazing and special to love. I think it's such a lovely idea. It really is. Our guest, do you want to get yourself ready for another demo, my lovely? Let's look at the Golden Harvest- Perfect ... shall we say. Don't forget, if you go for the Golden Harvest, you are getting
31:00 all of those fabulous sentiments. They are included. You're also getting all of your toppers included. You're also getting all of your little ATC mounts included as well. And you're getting your cards and envelopes, your fixed tip with your foam pads, and also on top of that, you are getting your die as well. Our guest, over to you for a glorious demo, my darling. Okay. So what I've got, we've got... Now, as I said, this can absolutely be all the elements, nothing else. But if you're a crafter, I'm sure you've got other things in your stash that you can absolutely be using. So what I've done is I've just added a little piece of
31:30 craft card, because actually, I think craft card is the most underrated card of the craft world. Please everybody agree with me, because people think it's nothing, and yet it's so, so special. So it's so fantastic. And I think craft card works perfectly when you've got golds and browns and things. So I'm going to take one of the cards, the top folding cards that you've got in the kit. And like I say, I just had a little bit of craft card in my stash just to add that. But please, you don't have to add anything. This comes with all the elements you need. And then I've got one of those boards.
32:00 How beautiful is that tartan pattern? I love that. And I love that we've got a sort of a blue-green tartan in this collection. But I love the fact that we've gone with something slightly different with these sort of mono sort of cream tones. Really beautiful. So we'll pop that on And then what I've done is, just because I can, I've taken one of those other boards. So remember, you are getting enough to make 50 minimum, but I've just trimmed this down a little bit so you get that matting layer, which looks really special. So you can absolutely trim these down.
32:30 Everything that's in this kit is uncoated. So what it means for you that it's uncoated, is if you've got, I don't know, glitter glue or those sparkle pens and things that you get, you could add those tones to this if you wanted to because there's literally no coating. And then what we've got is our little ATC. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring in our pads, because remember, you are getting the pads in this kit as well.
33:00 So I'm going to use those so that we're going to build up our little ATC in the center. And these are a good depth as well. I love that. These are strong, strong pads. Really good. And I would always recommend, if you're anything like me, if you're using pads, put one in the center so that it doesn't sort of dip in that center. So we'll take that off. And you do get multiples of these, so they're going to work for a lot of different creations that you're going to make out of the 50. So let's get it the right way.
33:30 And what you'll see is it fits beautifully in that center, like so. Then what I've got... So you get multiples of each. So what I've done is I've just snipped out the butterfly here and just given it a little bit of a curl, because we can. Again, you don't have to. If you really want to make all 50 and you want to keep all these elements individually for each card, you can.
34:00 But we'll just pop that on. And I'm just going to use a little bit of wet glue, but you could use the pads as well. And we'll just line that up, like so. And then we've got, "Leaves may fall, but our friendship stands tall." And this, again, you're going to get the die that cuts this element out. And I'm going to... Ooh, ooh. Where shall we put it? Let's put it at the bottom. So we'll use our foam pads again.
34:30 So doing these pieces as well. There's quite a few of the ATC cards that you could absolutely snip into, and create different decoupage. So you could definitely build up quite a few elements here, because what I've got, if I show you, just to pop this to one side. You're getting multiples of each, but you can see here, you could easily sort of
35:00 snip into these. Definitely, definitely could decoupage up the toadstools. I love this as well. Like I said, it feels sort of Washington, D.C. or something. You could definitely decoupage up the pumpkins. I love this as well. So let me just pop this... So absolutely, there's lots here that you could play with. And now, because I've used the pads on that piece, I'm only going to put pads on the bottom so that it doesn't go doubly up.
35:30 So there we go. And then just for fun, because we can, I'm going to get some glitter because again... Ooh, I just moved it. I didn't mean to. Ah. I'm going to put a little bit of glitter in the center. Lots of people coming through to the salon. everyone- Hello ... A viewer in Merseyside. As ever, your crafting bringing everybody to the yard with you. That's so lovely. Thank you. So again, completely uncoated, so if you want to add
36:00 some extra sparkly, and why wouldn't you, you absolutely can. There we go, along the line. Which I'm really impressed I did that pretty straight, because I don't see straight lines properly. And then there we go. That's just gorgeous. And again, other than the craft card, everything else was in that kit. So amazing. Remember, you can make a minimum of 50, but if you bring some other things you've got in your stash, you could absolutely expand it.
36:30 Our guest, a gorgeous card. Now, can we possibly have it for our weekly giveaway? Of course. Any of my cards that I've created today you can have, or any that I've already... I mean, whatever you want. You name it. You're an angel. I don't mind. Because basically, on our official Hobby Makers fan page on Facebook- Oh, yeah ... which is the only official place for Hobby Maker fans on Facebook- Perfect ... we do a post there every Monday. Cool. Basically, you have to put a word underneath, like creativity or type some other word like that. Oh, wow. Oh, I didn't know that. And basically that will automatically enter you into a prize draw to win a week's worth of cards from our lovely guests here at Hobby Maker.
37:00 The winner will be announced, or will be picked at random on the Friday, and then it starts again the following Monday, a new post will go up. So go and check that out this- Fabulous ... week after the shows. Our guest, get yourself ready for your next demo. Whilst you're doing that, let me show you some other bits and pieces as well. We have got our... Am I looking for stamps and dies, or what is it, Taz? Is this Magnolia Dreams? What are you looking for?
37:30 Magnolia Dreams. Oh, that's the Magnolia... Isn't... Ooh. Oh, I don't think I have that out. I was going to say, isn't that the one- It's the one on the screen at the moment. I don't know where that one's gone. Oh, they're down there. Ah, they're in the box. Oh, right. A viewer, could you possibly...? Thank you, sir. If you want to go for this one, £59.98. Is that not your price? Let's get a... Ah, here we go. Thank you. So these are what you're getting. Now, let's get a clock out. Our guest loves it, and Adam's there ready. There we are, frankly. Sorry, that sounded a little bit more blunt than I meant it
38:00 to sound- ... but it's true. There you go. Are you okay? You were okay on the price drop. There you go. I love a clock. Yes, we were. Thank you. At 59, £59.98. It's that fourth show delirium. I always say there's like a 45 to 50 minute- But this is my first show. You're expecting it from me. You have no excuse. But I do. If you want to go for this one, let's get the price down. It's not £59.98. Let's get it down. This price drop is for naught. Okay. You ready?
38:30 Here we go. Let's get that price down. Has it dropped? It's not dropped, is it? It will drop. Fear not. Here it goes. Some things are worth waiting for. Our guest, 25 quid. Whoop, whoa. There you go. £25. You are saving £34.02. 34 pounds and tuppence- ... you are saving there. For £25, you're getting these two fabulous kits that you've got here. So both beautiful layering stencils that you have here, and the dies to go with them as well. So you can see that you are going to get your Magnolia Dreams and
39:00 your Radiant Rose. RG0T08 is your item code on that one. Right. Now let's go back to one of our paper and stencil and die sets for you as well. Our guest, for the final demo- Which one did I... Which one did you say? Which one? Uh- Oh, yes. Perfect. That's exactly what I did think you'd said. Sorry. Okay. So what we've got with this collection, you're going to get that beautiful timeless paper that looks like there's been a lot of mixed media going on, and then you're
39:30 going to get the floral fusion with the die and the stencil. So again, similarly to the Quatre D, this works in a very similar way. You're going to look for the number to make sure that you've got your die, or sorry, your stencil around the right way. And I'm just going to come in with a very pale purple. And this works again in the same way. Don't think that you have to have a lot of inks in your collection. Also, this one's got that little island in the center.
40:00 What I would recommend, either use sort of stencil spray, but I'm kind of a dabber. I dabber when the little island in the center wants to move, and I just find that easier, which is why I use daubers rather than brushes with these smaller stencils. I'm going to call you our guest the Dabber Kirkup from now on. Hey. Like a gladiator. Our guest the Dabber Kirkup. So number one. I always learn. Number two. And again, you could use the same one and just go one darker if you wanted to, but I've actually got a different color here. So we're going to go in. Remember, this one comes with a die, so you can die cut it
40:30 if you wanted to have like a sort of element in that regard. See? Dabbing again. Or you could just leave as is, as the sort of front page to your card. Excellent. So you said earlier, did you say it's nine years that you've been crafting professionally now? No. So it'll be eight years in April. As a professional crafter? Yeah. And 10, it's just turned 10 years since I got... Had never crafted before, and I purchased my scanning cut, which was the first
41:00 craft tool I ever bought. Oh, wow. I literally didn't have inks, dies, nothing. The scanning cut was my first ever tool. And how fabulous is that? Can I ask a question? And don't take this the wrong way, because you and I go back a long way. Of course. So I know you have had many a job. Is this the longest job that you've actually ever had? So it is in fact the longest job I've ever had. Absolutely. So when I hit- Five years of doing it professionally. That was the longest I'd ever been in... I'm 44, so that will kind of tell you how many jobs I've had in my life.
41:30 Although, as you know- Your jobs, though, have always been brilliant. It's not like you got kicked off jobs. Oh, no, no, no. No, never. You've mainly done things- Do you know what? I was like, "Oh, I want to try something new." But crafting's new every time you come to it, and so that's probably why I never stepped away. And obviously, in my very younger years, I worked in the TV industry, and that changes constantly. I love it, though, because you've got such a zest for life, but your zest for crafting and your zest for life, it's the perfect match.
42:00 Oh, thank you. It's true. That's such a lovely thing to say. But it's true. I always think, our guest's such a bundle of joy, but you also are a bundle of talent. Thank you so much. Again, though, when you work with products like Tony brings us, it's so easy to do that. They're such wonderful crafts to use. But so many different crafts we got here on "Hobby Maker" are so fabulous to work with. I'm one of those people that I'm like, every time I see something new, I'm like, "I want to try that. I want to try that." And I think that's why I love it so much, because it's always new.
42:30 Well, there's such a variety of people here on "Hobby Maker" as well. And obviously today we've got the fabulous a viewer- Yes, gorgeous ... who'll be back at 5:00. With what product? Heaven knows. So good. Because everything sold out earlier. But a viewer De is going to be back. We've got a viewer from Tonic back later. We've also got our guest from Craft Buddy back later with the crystal art and more. And of course, we've got our guest back for more fabulous Stamps by Me goodness as well. I know. Am I the last show? I think so. You are. 8:00 tonight. You bring us to a rousing finish for the Saturday. Fabulous. Right, nearly there, guys. Sorry, I'm doing it as quickly as I can.
43:00 Last one. Here we go. Last, last one. Just while you're doing your color there. Just to show you the papers that you get in this collection as well. You are getting the paper pad, the All Surfaces Timeless paper pad. Just beautiful. It looks so gorgeously texturized and collage-y. But it is, of course, it's flat paper that you've got here, but it just looks absolutely stunning. So you get those, and also you are going to get, of course, your layering stencils that will allow you to do what our guest has done. Look at that.
43:30 So good. So beautiful. And then obviously, remember, you get that die, which means that obviously it's going to die cut the element, and then you can push up some of those petals too. £29.99 is your price on that one. Our guest, come and join me to finish, lovely lady. Okay. If you would like to go for this collection, it is a gorgeous collection. WZ0T41 is your item code on that one. Now, everything is on the website. Remind us again, all the W is what? Hobbymaker.com. Hobbymaker.com. I'm going to go applauding. Very clear. Well done. You got it right. Congratulations.

44:00 Right, that is it from me for today. The fabulous Rosie, you may have heard her arrive. I just hear that "Woo, woo" in my ear, and suddenly Rosie's here. She's going to be here after the break, taking you through to 9:00 tonight. You are back at 8:00, aren't you? Always a joy. Always an absolute joy. Thank you. Love working with this lady.
