0:00 One, two, three, four. I'd stop having it on for far. Are they in our chopper or are they yellow? Oh, fine. If I was to try the housing on my website, which is FBI and then registry. It's from far. Have you ever considered using a bigger box? Clean and fold is going to look after that. One, two, one, two. Right.
10:30 Good evening, everyone. Woo-woo. I'd like to say it's Friday night, but it's not, it's Thursday. I wish it were Friday, though. How are you all? Lovely to have you here. So, I've been live all week. Where have you all been? Mind you, lots of you have caught up, I know. I noticed the viewing figures had gone up, thank goodness.
11:00 I was singing to myself yesterday. I was like, "Come on." So, how are you all? My name is Toni. This is the How to Craft Network Studios, home of Stamps by Me, and this is a lovely place to come and get some gorgeous, and a big fat smiley face, of inspiration from me. So, if you hear any banging, the fireworks are in full swing, so just bear with. Nothing bad's happening. It is literally the Bonfire Night
11:30 celebrations, which I hate, by the way. It's a strong word, hate, isn't it? I'm just not a fan. I think they're a waste of money. They're too loud. Poor pets. But I do know that a lot of people like to celebrate it and go and see the fancy sparkles in the sky. So, if you are doing that, I hope you're having a lovely time or going to have a lovely time if you are going after this show now it is dark. But I'm not one of those people. I'm cozy. I probably would watch somebody else burn their money through my window, though.
12:00 Is anybody else the same? So if you are brand new here, welcome. It's great to have your company. Now, as always, before I get into the rest of the show, please, heart, thumbs up, share the love of craft. Share me in the groups if you can, because we've just taken the world by storm, literally, in the last month or so, haven't we? And I've got a little bit to talk about. "Not a fan either," says a viewer. I know.
12:30 I have a little bit to talk about, guys. Some vouchers and some more features on our website, which is super-duper duper cool. Some of you have already seen it. Some of you have already purchased, which is awesome. So let's do a shout-out. I've got some lovely, I'm going to call them hidden gems, because they were in my show yesterday, but I don't feel like a lot of you have seen yesterday's show, and I've added more things, and we're going to be creative with them as well, in some
13:00 sense. Ask me how. Not very sure. But yesterday, I did this card, and I'll show you in a second, which is so incredibly beautiful And I'll show you that, and we'll do a spin on that one as well. But let's have a look. Like but can't share. Don't worry about it. Thanks for trying, though. "I've got a lovely view from my bedroom window with the firework displays going on at the moment," a viewer. Well, at least you're saving money, you get to watch the sparkles through your window. I hope you're cozy. I like to be cozy, me. Do you?
13:30 We've got a viewer on. Hi, sweetheart. We've got our lovely a viewer on, too. That's a lovely card. Thank you, darling. We've got a viewer on. Hello from Florida. Double dippers. We've got some double dippers in this evening. A viewer. Hi, sweetheart. I hope you're well. Loved yesterday's card. Well, we're going to do a spin on that today, so stay tuned for that. We've got a viewer on. We've got a viewer on. Quite a few of you are on. A viewer, hi, sweetheart. Sorry, can't share. Don't worry about it.
14:00 We've got Posh Bird on. Hi from Florida also. Right. So a couple of things I just want to talk about, because we've got some lovely features. First of all, I'm going to tell you about the thing that I'm going to talk about every time I go live, and that is your deal of the day. Have you all checked your back of account to check your deal of the day? I am going to pop the deal of the day on here just in case you do want to check. But if you want to go and have a look at the deal of the day in your account, bespoke to you as a shopper. Okay? No two
14:30 deals of the days are going to be the same. Well, they might be. That's a little bit of a fib, I believe. But no, it's not like all of the people live today are going to get all of the same deal of the day. It's bespoke to you and your shopping habits and the things that you like from Stamped By Me Too. So make sure you check out the deal of the day. So that is an awesome thing already, right? And we've been doing that now for a week, and you have all loved the deals of the day, which is brilliant. And you all know that if you add a product to your basket and it hasn't been
15:00 dispatched, if the deal of the day, the following day, or the third day is something you love, you only pay the postage once until that first order has left the building. So we haven't taken that away. I have signed another lease with our lovely dispatch couriers for you all to keep that. Managed to get the price as low as possible so we could keep that facility for you all. So that is awesome. So the second thing that I want to talk-- Well,
15:30 there's two things I want to talk about. I'm going to break them down. First of all, every year, we always do a discount on our vouchers, and the discount is on the vouchers now, and it's only for 48 hours. Okay? So you need to check out the vouchers. We have £10 off for the 100 and £50 off for the 250. And the reason why I've done that big mammoth saving is
16:00 because lots of you I know are waiting for my big project at the end of the year. Okay? So if you want to get ahead and save the £50, you can do that, too. Okay? So let me just pop the gift voucher in there. Now, the gift vouchers are in the back of your account. You can scan the QR code on screen. The savings are there. There isn't just large amounts, guys. There's some smaller amounts as well for budget. So check out the vouchers for that. We do this every, well, we do it once a year every year to give
16:30 people the opportunity to get ahead, get some savings. It's always at the latter end of the year also, which means you can be rewarded for your loyalty as well. So they start at 25, as you can see on the screen there. So please check those out. Lots of you take advantage of our gift vouchers when they are on. So they are on now for 48 hours. The discounted ones are on for 48 hours. Then it will all revert back to
17:00 buy £100, receive £100, et cetera. But there are some with some savings on there. Okay? So check out that. Now, the third thing that I want to tell you all about is just so incredibly cool. Now, I'm just going to pop a product on the screen just to go through this with you all. So I'm going to be showing you some lovely product that we've got from the warehouse. We've got some Tim Holtz, we've got some Cadence waxes, and all that good stuff. These were in the show yesterday, and they've all got
17:30 great deals on them. But what I do want to say to you all, guys, is if you check the back of your accounts, we have a brand-new system in relation to gift vouchers and gifting. Now, if I have to be completely transparent with you, this, what our team has created in the last couple of months has blown my mind. And I have had training on it.
18:00 He's trained me and our team on it, and it is incredible. And honestly, I was like, "If this website did that, I'd spend a ton of money. If this website did that, I'd spend a ton of money." And I'll tell you why. So say, for example, you are a mum, a dad, an aunt, an uncle, a crafter, and your family are always saying to you, "What do you want for Christmas? What do you want for Christmas?" Like, "I don't know. I've got everything." Because we've all got everything, right? We're adults. Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Palette Collection: Red (12"x12")
18:30 That's normally the case. And as adults, we like to gift to others. We don't really care about getting things ourselves, do we? But there is always those family members that go, "What do you want? We can't not get you anything." You know the ropes, right? So basically, if you go to the banner on the website, it's on there as well, but it's also in the back of your account, and it's just so cool. So basically, if you go to those features
19:00 and you want to send a family member either something that you want, because it's on the product, it says gift, you can gift it as well. If you go to the back of your office and click that facility and put in the person's- Te- ah, telephone number if it's on a phone. So if you like something on the website, okay, and you're on your phone, you can go to that product, and you can send it to your husband, or you
19:30 can send it to your son. And it's got the link in there to purchase. And then what happens is, they can purchase for you and, say for example, it's a product that they've purchased for you, what will happen is you will get the email to say, "Hey, you have a gift." And you'll open the email, and that gift will pop out of a lovely box with an image of the gift as well, totally awesome, guys,
20:00 with an image of that gift, and the gift will be sent through the post with a pre-printed form on there with the message that you've put on that gift for them. So do you know, like when you go to the florist and you write the message, or you order flowers online and there's a message box to write your message, that message goes inside the order, so they get that beautiful message when it's sent to them. When you are picking on-- Look at you all getting giddy.
20:30 When you are picking the product online, you can, maybe you're picking, maybe a family member's picking, anyone who is picking, you can pick the gift wrap, the color of the exploding box, the text, the name, the message. It is so, so cool. Oh, can you remember Moonpig.com? I'm not even sure I can even say that. And you could personalize everything.
21:00 So you got a digital email through the post with the gift, and then it got sent through the actual mail, the flowers. You remember? Or the card. And you could absolutely personalize it to that person as well. So don't get confused. We have a new system that is for gifting product, and we have a system for vouchers, okay? So you can go into the vouchers and send it to your family members and say, "This is what I want. Deal with it." Okay? And they'll deal with it. And then the money will just go into your account.
21:30 No fuss, no drama, no questions. They can just do it, okay? If you are wanting to maybe gift a fellow crafter a paper pad or, I don't know, or something from the website, if you look on every product, it has a gift emblem on that product. If you click that, it talks you through that process, and then what happens is the gift comes through to that person via email, all sparkly. It's
22:00 really lovely, guys. All sparkly and whatever you've chosen to have it digitally sent to them, so purple wrapping, gold wrapping, Christmas. And there's options for birthday, there's options for every day, and there is options just because, and there is options for Christmas. And you just tick the boxes that you require, and then that, they will get the email to say, "Hey, you've been gifted an out--" come out of the box comes the gift. That gift is sent by us.
22:30 You don't have to worry about it. And we put the pre-printed message inside the box, and they get the message at the other end. No patience to wrap presents? Well, this is going to be brilliant for you, isn't it? So you can send a wish list or anything like that. So if you look at the product, there is like a little heart. You know like if you go on your clothing websites and you love something but maybe can't afford it, or maybe you're thinking, "I like that, but at the moment, I've got nowhere to wear it to." There's like a little heart.
23:00 Well, that feature's now on our website. So if you click the heart on any of the product, it goes into your wish list. Okay? So, and then you go into the back of your office, and you look at all the things in your wish list, and guess what? You can send it to your family, your wish list, and say, "Can I have something off my wish list, please?" Are you kidding me? So maybe you've got a couple of ink pads or a paper pad or something like that on your wish list.
23:30 It has to be on your wish list if you're wanting to send it to other people to buy for you, okay? But get it in your wish list, get into the habit of hearting the things you love. Maybe you want to heart the things you love for over the year. Then at the end of the year, you can send your wish list to your mum, your dad, your brother, your sister, your husband, your aunt, your friend, who is one of those people who you just have no clue whatever to buy for. You can put vouchers in there as well. So cool, isn't it?
24:00 So you can do that by gifting as well. But if you have family members who want to buy you a gift voucher to spend as you please as well, you can send them the voucher, and guess what? It will all be sorted, and the voucher just pre-loads into your account. Gifting anything, it's right here. So as you can see on the screen here how it works. But there is, it's full explanatory in the back of your account. And for the 48 hours, two of the vouchers have those discounts.
24:30 Now, I know a lot of you are waiting for my project, which is coming close, by the way. But I know that a lot of you like to get savings regardless and shop stamps by me absolutely regardless as well. Okay, so if you are wanting to get credit in the back of your account, whether you do it yourself, whether somebody else does it for you as a treat, and like I say, there are options for birthday, just because, and Christmas. So you can do it every time you feel
25:00 like you deserve a treat. You can send it to your family. If you want to, that is. Or you can just buy it yourself. Remember it circling the Argos catalog? Well, welcome to the 21st century. I know, it's so cool, isn't it? It is so cool. So There's lots and lots of features and benefits in the back of your office, honestly. I was like, our team logged in, I'm like, "Look at all this." He's like, "I know. Isn't it cool?" And it shows
25:30 you the things that you might want to purchase. It shows you things that you have purchased, all of the best savings, and don't forget, we have the Ask Toni facility as well. Now, have I said everything? I hope I've said everything. Any questions? Let's have a little bit of drink of my juice. Let's have a look at some of the products first before. So I've got a whole bunch of lovely goodness on the overhead. Oh, come on. Whoo.
26:00 Now, a whole bunch. I've gone through these in yesterday's show, so you might want to go back and watch yesterday's show. Some are limited stock. But this is the card that we made. So with the paper, the stencil, the berries, the buds, the stickers, I'm going to use them all again, but in a different way today. But also, something that isn't actually for you, it's for me.
26:30 I have some new screens as well, so I'm feeling very posh right now. You're staying in because of the pets or fireworks. I totally understand. So I'm very posh now, guys. So before on my screen, I could only see comments. I could see whether stock was moving and things like that. But now I have another screen. So I can tell a lot of you have moved from YouTube and are now on my telly.
27:00 So if you are, shall I just go through the figures because I think it's super-duper cool, and a viewer said I'm allowed to say it, so I'm saying it. So on the website, we have 17. On the mobile website, we have seven. On my-telly.com, we have 226. On an iPhone, I have 12 people. On an Android, I have 25 people. On YouTube, I have 78.
27:30 On Facebook, I have 98. On LG TV, I have 17. On Samsung TV, I have 111. On Fire TV, I have 101. On Google TV, I have 98, and on Apple TV, I have 41. Well, hello, everyone. Lots of you are obviously watching on telly, so you're not going to be able to comment, but I'm welcoming you all. It's really funny because I was like, 78 on YouTube, that's a bit low.
28:00 I'm thinking, no, now we've got 14 platforms. Where have you all gone? Well, as you can see, you're all moving around like crazy. So I really appreciate you guys and thank you for all your continued support, likes, shares, and everything else in between. So shall we get into some demonstrations? A viewer says, "Question. Can I ask roughly how much the new project is going to be, or can't you say?" A viewer, it's varied. It's totally varied.
28:30 You all know there will be price points for everyone. Depends how much you like it. Do you want it all? Do you want bits of it? Do you want some of it? Do you want all of it? Do you want all of it and more? I can't say. "I'm on iPhone and YouTube," so a viewer, you're one of my statistics. Welcome, sweetheart. I'm on Android. See, I know where you all are. You're all shifting about, and I can see you all moving.
29:00 So don't ever try and hide because I'll find you. Ey up. Right. Come on, let's get into some product. So some lovely stuff, guys, and super-duper cheap as well. £11.59 for the Tim Holtz 12 by 12s. Now, I'm not going to go into depth. Most of you that are here will have watched the show yesterday, but if you didn't watch the show yesterday, we made this card yesterday using the red papers. So today I'm going to use the purple.
29:30 Okay, so basically 12 by 12, double-sided. There's a 12 by 12, eight by eight. There's a 12 by 12 purple one. There's an eight by eight purple one as well. I'll pull them all up on screen. Don't worry. We have the stencils, all of which are linked. So if you are watching on my website, everything is linked down the side. You can scan the QR code on the TV and see everything in the show as well. We have the most gorgeous stickers. I'm going to pull these up here, guys, because I thought these are like my washi
30:00 tapes. Just so cool. So you can see I've used some on the show. We get some foiled ones in the back as well, and then the words, and you just unsticker them, and then I just drew lines around this one. Really nice, right? "Is this a collection you do every year? You've referenced it a few times, and I'm new," says a viewer. Great question. So basically, we've been in the industry now for 15
30:30 years, 12 or 13 years on UK TV, five years on HSN, and four years on QVC Germany. But, for the last two and a half years, I've really felt like, not I've lost my mojo with craft, but it's like how many more flower stamps do we need as a crafter, or how many more flower stamps do I need to design as a designer? Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Sticker Book Traditional
31:00 And it's gone on and it's gone on. Obviously, I have a business, and you all say to me, "It doesn't matter how many flowers, we will always buy." I know. But isn't it getting a little bit boring? Don't you think? So my mindset over the last two and a half years is the same as when I launched my Eureka stamping tool, which was seven years ago, I believe I have a moment where I wanted to break the norm in the craft industry, and I felt like we needed something new.
31:30 We don't need another cutter. We don't need another stencil. We don't need another stamp. Those things are nice, and I will continue to bring them out, but we needed something fresh, something exciting, something innovative, something that's going to get your belly going, something that's going to excite you in doing above and beyond making a simple card. So I decided 14 months ago that I was going to do something different. I had a vision of something in my mind, and it's taken this long to bring it together. I've had to get patents on
32:00 things. Can't say too much. Patents on things and create things from scratch which are not currently on the market, and it's taken 14 months, and I'm about to launch it at the end of this year. But it's a concept, so it's not going to be like, "Here you go. Buy it, and off you go." It's going to be like a dedicated thing that we work on probably every week. I'm going to probably allocate a show to it weekly, where we get it out and we do it together, and in the hope that it's just going to grow and
32:30 grow and grow the concept. So I want to do it alongside craft, but it is craft. Does that make any sense? "I'm ready for the new," says Latina. Me too, darling. I am so excited. A viewer came today from, as you know, Ava Go Ink, and he's like, "How are you getting on with it all?" I'm like, "I'm just waiting for a couple of bits to arrive, and then I think I'm ready. I'm really nervous about it." He's like, "Show me." We were going through it all, and he was like, "This is going to do really well." He said,
33:00 "People are ready for this. I'm ready for this. It's going to do really well." I'm like, "I really hope so. I hope people get behind it." So I'm just going to pull my comments on here because it looks like the battery's going to go on, so if I lose you off there, I can just get you on here. So just one second, guys. So I hope that answers your question. No, I don't do something not conceptual like this. The last time I did anything conceptual was when we launched our pattern painting with Eureka, which was seven years ago. So it's a big deal. It is a real big deal.
33:30 Right. So let's just get up YouTube. "Thanks for the explanation." You're very welcome. You can ask any questions here. We are a lovely community. You might not want to hear it sometimes. I'll always be open, honest, totally transparent about everything that we do here at Stamped By Me. Right.
34:00 Let's find-- Here we go. So just in case I lose your comments, that's all. Not very nice looking at yourself. "I'm ready when you are." Let's have a guess. Oh, YouTube's just shut up. It flashed red at me. Does anybody have any guesses? I think you're all thinking it's a machine. It might be a machine, though. Might it? Might it not?
34:30 I can't hold me on water, can I? I'm not telling you guys. I am not telling you. So we've got this as a backup. Look there, guys, if I lose you all. So let's just pop this over here for now. Right. So I'm going to work with the purple set. So I will show the purple set. Don't forget your vouchers. Lots of you invested in the vouchers last year and really
35:00 appreciated the discount. So make sure if you are shopping with Stamps By Me or you just want to save it, get ahead. On the £250 voucher, it costs 200. You get 50 quid off. And that's just a way of a bit of a Christmas treat, I guess. Let's have a look at this one. So I'm just going to pop this on screen here, guys. This one's 12.59. It's 12 by-- I did show this, but I am going to very briefly show it. I'm not going to show it all, but Tim Holtz is our team
35:30 Holtz. He's got some really good stuff, hasn't he? So let's just show the 12 by 12. Such a tease. I'm a nervous one. I'm a nervous teaser. I'm not a Malteser, I'm a nervous teaser. Although I do like Maltesers. Always goes back to chocolate. Let's have a look. So we've got this one here, which is double-sided.
36:00 So yeah, these are good for, predominantly because they're double-sided, they make the great gift boxes on your envelope board tool, guys, which is out of stock. Gutted. Not getting any more till after Christmas now. Look at this one. This is nice, isn't it? "You do make me laugh," Tony. Why? What's funny about me? It's funny because I said something to our team before I came in here to go live. Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Palette Collection: Purple (12"x12")
36:30 He goes, "Mum, you are so Yorkshire." Well, cheers for that, son. Is that a bad thing? He goes, "No, but..." And then he tries to say what I say. He's just like, "Put that in t'cupboard." Cracks me up. Look at this here. And my accent gets even stronger the more giddy I get. "Don't be nervous," says a viewer. I try not to.
37:00 We're ready for something new, guys. I certainly am ready for something new. And we're going to blow it out the water. Literally. Brand-new concept. Right. And it's not a stamp and a die system. No. We do all that anyway. It's nothing like that, though. Still no guesses, guys Throwing you a low ball, haven't I? You're all like this at home.
37:30 "Hmm, what's going on?" I did say I'd never tell a soul because, in the past, as you all know, I've spoke about things before doing them, and people have done them before me, and I've spent so much money getting it to the sampling phase for somebody else to go, "Hey, look what I designed." No, you didn't. So I've not told a soul. So that's your 12 by 12. You get the eight by eight as well. So the 12 by 12 is £12.59.
38:00 The eight by eight here, it's the same patterns, guys, but they're just shrunk down. So I'm going to probably use this one in my demonstration. Stop teasing us now. I'm sorry. I'll move on. I'll move on. And then the sticker book, probably will use. It is Christmas though, but listen, I haven't done any Christmas cards yet, so the more I make in studio, the easier my life's going to be, right? "Toni, be careful, you're going to slip." A viewer's on.
38:30 Oh. A viewer, I've just been talking about you. Listen, why don't you all try and blackmail a viewer into telling you? He won't tell you. He won't. He can hold his water. He's far better than me. So we have this stencil here. Now, oh, one left. Woo. This is one. This is the one that I used on this wreath. But I have attached a ton of different ones. Tim Holtz Idea-ology - Palette Collection: Purple (8"x8")
39:00 There's a beautiful poinsettia, there's a Christmas tree as well. So I probably won't use this because you'll all be fighting for it, and I don't want anybody to miss out. But there are... This is a nice one, guys. Have a look at this one. £6.89. We're at £8.45 today, £6.89. It's that lovely tree. There's lots of savings, guys, on all of this stuff. Right.
39:30 So let's get into a demo. "I promise I won't tell anyone," says a viewer. It's coming. So let's open this eight by eight, because I'm keeping this one for me then. "Can we bribe a viewer?" I could be bribed for a few quid. Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Festive
40:00 Are you a traitor or are you a faithful? No, no, no. Right. Let's have a look. Oh, as well, our team did get a message, our design team member, in the Facebook page asking if we could demo the Sparkle-Links, the clear and the orange, I believe. So I've grabbed one of the oranges because I didn't have the orange, and I've got my clear. So I'll try and incorporate those into my demo, and it's these ones. Now, please, I beg of you. I beg. Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Modern Tree
40:30 I'm going to put the orange on because it's the orange that I was asked to demonstrate. Please don't buy 20. Okay? Or 10 either. If you want to buy a few, I understand. If you've got a group or a class, please don't just go ahead and buy 20. Make sure there's enough for everyone. I understand that some of you have classes and want multiples, that's fine. But 20, no. Okay, so here's the orange.
41:00 So it's sparkly. You can't really see it, I've just shaken it, but it has iridescence in the bottom, and then you shake them to wake them, and you can paint, and you get the sparkles on your designs. So I'll try and incorporate this in some way. How, I have no idea. But I'll figure it out. So the orange is on screen. We have a yellow, a silver, a green. The clear is hanging on by a thread. So have a look at that one. Okay. So I will put products on as I STAMPS BY ME SPARKLE INK - ORANGE - 290926C
41:30 use them, but of course, you need to check out the full show. I've linked some amazing products this time, guys. There are lots of things in our warehouse that are discounted. So have a look at those, because I house 30,000 products, over 120 different brands. I was asked to demonstrate them all, but I'll be here till I'm 70 if that's the case. So that won't be happening. But I will do my best to show you other
42:00 products too. So let's grab some paper from here. Now, I did the wreath with the circle stencil, but that one looks like it's going to sell out. And there is a poinsettia one, which is just as beautiful, and there is a holly one, and a berry one, and a Christmas tree, and snowflakes one. I wish I actually had the snowflake one. We could do a snowflake wreath, couldn't we? But anyway, so check those out. So I'm going to
42:30 do something similar, but we'll change it up a little bit. How? Any ideas? A viewer says the clear is very nice. I tried it. Yeah, I use the clear. Like I say, I think this might be my third bottle. These go in your Gossip Sparkle Pens. So if you've been using your Sparkle Pens, don't throw your pen away when it's empty, they go in. Right. Let's pick some paper from this one.
43:00 Oh. That is just a bit of me. I can't go too dark. Shall we do this road map? This is quite muted. Could be a map, like a Santa map or something, couldn't it? Let's use that one then. So I did a slimline card last time, so
43:30 shall we do a square one this time? Just change it up Pop that up there. So let's grab a square card. "Stunning colors," says a viewer. I know. The orange is brilliant for Halloween, although Hallow-- Oh, it's started to settle there, guys. I'll quickly turn it over so you can see. Can you see it there?
44:00 But painting with splats to add a bit of shimmer, it's just awesome. So I'm going to go with this. I'm just going to cut this down. I can see lots of you have checked out on the vouchers. Well done, guys. It's only for 48 hours. I'd love to do it for longer.
44:30 But I guess it's like a little bit of a short window to encourage you to get them now, so it's not left on for a month. A bit of a Brucie treat, as we call it here. Brucie treat, Brucie bonus. So, we have a square. Now, I normally don't make square cards, as you all know. It's, they're just not me. So I always try and like to break it down with a panel of some form.
45:00 So I'll probably get this offcut here and put a piece of white behind. So let me do that first, and then we'll see where we're going to go from there. Get a bit of white. You love the gossip, I know. I'm going to do some more, but not till I've launched something else first.
45:30 Because as you know, everything that we launch ties in with everything, and I need to do the other launch first before we do more of those. I'm just creating like a panel. I'm just going to cut it down. Also, in the show, I have linked the distress tins. Have you all got your mini cube tins for storage? Because these are
46:00 a great price as well. Let me just see. If you're trying to get organized. I see, I have seen lots of you actually getting organized. They're normally 11.99, 9.89. Okay. So they are back in stock just. And we sold about 30 yesterday, so if you've got your little mini cubes and you need to get organized and not have them sat in a box, you've got a visual through the window as well, which is nice.
46:30 Right. So we've got that. We've got this. "Please continue your nature and animal designs. They are the best." Yes, we've got some more coming, darling. So we'll put this maybe down here, and then we're going to do something here. Now, we did a circle yesterday with this, and how I did the circle yesterday, I mean, go and watch the show, guys, and see the
47:00 full demo. But how I did that circle was I took just a cup here, and I took my Cadence wax, any color of Cadence wax, and I sort of like fingered it all the way around here, and then I just stamped it down a couple of times to create like a twig wreath. And I did it in the gold. So we've got the purple today. So I have the purple one. So I thought maybe we could do a purple-y type style wreath, maybe Tim Holtz® Distress Mini Ink Storage Tin
47:30 paint our own flowers. I'll see how it goes. Not sure where this demo is going at all. But I'm going to make my own sort of version of a Christmas card, but in the lilacy tones. So the purple here. These are all linked to the show as well. I've linked everything that I thought you could possibly use in these demos because they're all super-duper priced. So have a peruse of the product in the show, guys, because it's too much for me to go through, and I'll spend more time going through product than I actually will
48:00 demoing, and I really don't want to do that. I want to demo. So you have a look. Ooh, did you hear that bang? So I think what we'll do is yesterday, we used that stencil, which is the one that's gone. So, we're going to do freehand. Ooh. All panicking. "Five by seven." I love my five by sevens, but I have to cater for everyone. It's my job. Even though I'm not a fan, it's my job. So I'll always make something that I'm not a fan of work, and then I'm
48:30 always chuffed with it after. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to do the wreath over this side. Now, you could do a couple of baubles, like the teardrop bauble shape, because you can have dyes for that, or you could just rough sketch. Or you could do this circle as well. So let's do this with purple this time. You'll have these a lifetime. Last you forever. And then all I'm going to do is I'm going to take it on my finger,
49:00 and I'm just going to rub it round the top of the cut. If you haven't got these, you could use a metallic paint. Maybe a metallic ink pad would do it. I'm not sure. I did try with an ink pad originally, but I couldn't get it to transfer bright enough, and I found that these waxes just worked absolutely beautifully for it. So you can see the wax is on there. So let's just move this out of the way for now,
49:30 and let's try. Maybe, should we do like a double-y, like a half bauble and a full bauble, just to change it up? So let's go here You see that there? I'm going to double it so we get another one. So take your finger. "Square cards cost more than rectangle cards in the mail in the US." Yeah, I gathered that. You go on size and we go on weight.
50:00 I'm just going to try and make this a bit darker. Now I'm going to try and probably spin it so I can get it... There we go. It has got shimmer. Hopefully, you can see the shimmer in there. Now let's do a half bauble. For those of you that are maybe just tuning in the first time this week, we have a new schedule on the website as well.
50:30 So, we're trying to go live a little more often with what's happened with other TV platforms. I'm trying to grow my platform, one, and two, so people have somewhere to go as well. So, do check out the TV schedule. We're putting a lot in for you guys. Hi to The Big Teacult. Sounds like teacup. So I'm going to go half as well. I'm not too concerned that it's going to go in my
51:00 bauble because we're going to do some painting. What it looks like, no idea, but we'll go for it. So, let's do a quarter, just over half. So I'm going to twist it a little bit to try and get it to transfer. There you go. Look at that. Maybe just get that up there a bit more. Now, if you haven't got a cup, maybe use, I don't know, a lid. A lid off something, a lid off your confetti inks or something. You can see there, we've got our lovely two baubles.
51:30 Great minds. Kind of have to hand deliver hers if they're 3D. So, let's just tidy our gate here. So that one that I used there, if you're wanting that color is, excuse me,
52:00 orchid. Now, let's have a look at this stencil. Shall we stick with the purple theme? So it's all like purples and whites and things like that. So, what I'm going to do is, you can see on this stencil here, you've got like berries, leaves, twigs. But I feel like we could just do a corner on this one. So let's just...
52:30 And what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through with white. "I have a terrible headache." Welcome to my world. I hope you're okay. I'm going to go through with white. Let's see if it stands up to it on the light colored paper. Put that one there.
53:00 Does any of you have this stencil already? Oh, look at that. Now let's get one of the leaves facing this way so we can get a little bit of... See it through, see it through.
53:30 So we've got out, out. We need to do something down here now. Forgive me, I can't see Toffee. So these are just going to be fillers for now in the background.
54:00 Press on a little bit harder, Tony. There we go. And you have to just sort of like, I would probably suggest just go with the process, guys, because the other one that I made yesterday, I didn't have no clue where that were going, and I were really chuffed with it at the end. So I've got a little bit of a white underlay there, and then we could do something on the bottom here.
54:30 Have a vision, Tony. It does help. And then we take the purple as well. Okay, and we go on top. And then we add some sprigs. I'm not going to do a full one, because the full one I did yesterday. I don't need to repeat that demo. You're all going to get an idea of... I think I'm just going to do a nice pretty cluster here. So I'm going to take the same stencil, and then I'm going to take the leaves, and then I'm going to sort of like, the white is going to be the backdrop. And now I'm going to go over with some purple.
55:00 In fact, grab our purple one. I'll try and not be too loud for you, darling. I'm going to go with the purple on top, and then because of that white underneath, the white's pigment,
55:30 okay, it's going to look a little bit oxide. See now? Now let's make that into a fuller one. I love the stencils where you can create your own formations, don't you?
56:00 And then we need some sprigs, so let's do some of these lovely sprigs up here, coming out of the back of there. Oof, that banging, it's quite scary, actually. I'll do some on the inside, too, so it looks like it's going in.
56:30 We need a solid. I would say, looking at that, we need a bit of a solid one here, just to pull this together here. So,
57:00 find one. This one.
57:30 And then to tie this here, we just need those. Maybe one.
58:00 Don't you just love having fun in your craft? If I go quiet, it's because I'm enjoying myself. There we go. So that's not looking too bad. It's not full by any means. It's like an underlay. So for now, what I'm going to do is, where's my lid? For now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to take the sparkle. Mind you, I could paint it gold. That would look absolutely stunning.
58:30 Mind you, we could paint one. Let's do both. If it looks a hash, you know the rules. You don't do it. So let's take the clear. Got it, and I'm going to paint the shimmer into here just a little bit. Not too much. Now I'm covered in sparkle. Just get my laptop because, as predicted, the comments have just
59:00 disappeared. I'll put that there. So I will get a brush. A clean one. I am going to dilute it a little bit because it's really sparkly. I don't want it to be overpowering. So I'm going to take some of the sparkle here, and I'm just going to add it inside the circle.
59:30 And we'll put this one to the foreground, this bauble to the foreground. So I'm going to go over the top of that. We'll hide that. And I think what we will do is we will push this one into a gold, hopefully. Can you see that sparkle there? It's just drying, but it gives that lovely mica. Give it chance to dry. I'll show you it once it is dry, but you can just see. Lovely. There we go.
1:00:00 So I've got that there, so let's do some gold on the other one. I think probably what I'll do is I'll mix the gold and the sparkle. So we've got goldie sparkle. Vintage sparkle now. And then this one, we will do just behind.
1:00:30 So the papers are uncoated a little bit, so it is carrying a little bit of water, which is fab. We like uncoated paper, don't we, guys? So I'll just show you here. Can't really see it's gold, but it is gold. I can see it. You can't so much. Let me just add a bit more. I add a bit more.
1:01:00 Can you see it now? Is that better? See the color in there? Are we doing both gold, guys? Do you think they'll both look good in gold? Is that one looking lost? Yeah. I'm going to do them both gold, guys. I'm just going to add some gold to this one. Not too much.
1:01:30 Don't worry about this here. We're going to put a sentiment in there. So let's dry it off with our gun. That's brought it to life now, hasn't it? That's looking a bit better. Coming together nicely, thank goodness.
1:02:00 And then before we actually do anything with, I'm going to do some white splats on it. I'll probably have to do that with my ink pad, because I've got no idea where my white confetti ink is. Is it in here? No. Oh, by the way, I know that you're all still waiting for your paint. Let's just do the white.
1:02:30 Back to... So let's just get some water in here. So I'm going to just take some of this white here from my white ink pad. I'm just going to cover our little thing there, because we're still going to build on that, and I'm just going to get
1:03:00 some lovely, call it snow effect, whatever you want. Thanks for all the shares, guys. I appreciate that. More.
1:03:30 Hope some of you have bought some vouchers. Well done, guys. Well done. Be nice to have it bagged for when the... If you are wanting. But equally, if you decide that whatever I'm launching is not for you, it's bagged, isn't it? You'll have saved the savings. We only do it once a year. We don't do it every month. Is anybody going to send it to their family? "Can I have this please?" Right.
1:04:00 Let's dry this. And just dry this off. Have a look at it. I am getting confetti. I'm just waiting for the delivery. We have some paints waiting on our Create Together Club ladies as soon as they arrive.
1:04:30 I'm not even going to bother you with the story. So we'll dry this off. Pretty much that white's pretty much dispersed into nothing, because it is a pigment ink. I would normally use a
1:05:00 Tim Holtz spray, the white, or Picket Fence. Have I attached that to the show? The spray to get the snow splats. There we go. I have. I have attached it. I use my white ink pad, but it's obviously dispersed. So there you go. Just spray, put it on your fingers, and flick it, and you'll end up with white spots, which are awesome. Again, I've picked prices that are really good. So I'm going to paint in the bauble dangle.
1:05:30 Obviously, if you're not great with your hand, use a ruler. Pop the top on.
1:06:00 I'm also going to spray and splat this, and then we're going to work on our lovely area here. Oh, gosh, can you hear the banging at home, guys? Can you hear it as well? Tim Holtz - Distress - Spray Stain Picket Fence
1:06:30 And now I've got some lovely shimmery gold. Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. What I want... Oof. So whilst I've got my gold out, before I dry it off, I am going to put some circles for little baubles.
1:07:00 Some little baubles in myself. Not too many, but you just see the shimmer. Just catches those lovely baubles in there as well. And I think to tie it together, we need to do a few purple ones.
1:07:30 Yes, your vouchers can be split over multiple orders. Just speak to our team and she'll break them down if you need them to be broken down. Some purples. There is a purple sparkler ink as well. So if you want sparkler purple baubles as well, totally a personal preference if you've got that.
1:08:00 Like so. And then just dry that off because we just added those sparkly gold splats.
1:08:30 Feels like somebody's coming in.
1:09:00 So what we need to do is we need to distress this up a little bit. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my scissors and distress the edge. But before I do that, actually, I'm going to take my white. I'm going to sort of draw your eye in.
1:09:30 And then I'm going to take my scissors, and I'm just going to distress the edge a little bit.
1:10:00 Like so. Oh, it's going to be a good Christmas for me. All the goodies from SBM. Bless your heart. I say, don't be sending me a wish list. Don't be sending me a wish list. Could you imagine?
1:10:30 It's like I come off air, and I've got a ton of wish lists from you all. Oh, jeepers. The sad thing is, I'd get you it all because I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings. To be like, "You are wild." I never thought of it like that, actually. How I'm going to come off air, and a viewer's sent me a wish list.
1:11:00 Let's just tidy here. And the new launch, you're going to be able to use over Christmas. Well, you're going to be able to use it anytime, wherever you are in the world. So I've gone round with the scissors just to distress that a little bit. As you can see, it's now a little bit, oh, it's upside down, now a little bit
1:11:30 vintage as well. What I'm going to do is I'm now going to just take my ink pad and just sort of put some purple on the edge so it's not white. And somebody else has just bought vouchers. Oh, well done, guys. They're not a necessity. We don't hard sell the vouchers. There is absolutely no need. Most of you buy anyway. Oh, I've got ink all over that now.
1:12:00 But the opportunity to get those savings, if you are a spender of Stamps By Me, is blooming brilliant. Right. So I think I'm going to stick this to the card for now. It's still not finished, though. But I'm going to stick it to the card for now. So let's get my trusted glue. Tony Claus. A viewer, don't you be sending me your list. Not allowed. You can't send me your lists.
1:12:30 Has anybody tried it yet, or are you all waiting till we go off-air to send it to somebody? Has anybody tried it? You'll have to let me know. I sent one to our team today to test, and I got it absolutely fine. It was like, "Oh, that's nice."
1:13:00 I'm just taking a tissue here, guys. I'm just going to sit it on the top so I can push it down, so I don't get ink all over my hands, so it sticks to my card. "Crafting
1:13:30 is your medicine," says Fedo. Yeah. I think it's most people's medicine, sweetheart. So with that in mind, I'm going to have to distress this, too, so it all matches. So I'll get my scissors. Dry Clear Glue 2Oz.
1:14:00 We'll stick this to the white panel
1:14:30 That banging is like it's a lot. I'm going to put some pads behind this one. What? Tony didn't get my wish list? I did it. Oh, well, I'm hoping nobody sent me a wish list.
1:15:00 Did you see me checking? I know what you all are like. Oh, let's put this down the side.
1:15:30 Could do with some twine. I say this every time. Let's just move you over a little bit, buddy. And now, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to take this stencil again, and I'm just going to enhance this a little bit here with a bit of the gold wax through, or the pearl wax or the gold. You can do whatever you want, guys. Could do the purple, couldn't we?
1:16:00 That might be a bit dark, though. Could do... Oh, I've got a green. Do you think green would look nice? Mm, not sure. Let's just see what other colors I've got, because I've got everything going on down here. Got a blush pink. Great idea. What did I say? What were a good idea? Sending it to your friends. Right. So I'm just going to take the stencil and try and get a few of these nice
1:16:30 sprigs on here in gold to enhance this. Probably do it. Will it tap through with my finger? Hopefully. Don't think I'm getting much through. A little bit delicate, I think. I'll try, though. Does anybody else faff like this?
1:17:00 Anybody a serial faffer? I don't think it's going through. Oh, it has a little bit. It has a little bit, guys. Very tiny, but it has. It has a little bit. Now I'm all hacked up. I've used so many different products here. And then I'm going to take this now, the white one, and I'm going to do a white halo on my bauble.
1:17:30 The top of that bauble in wax on my finger. See if it's catch the light. Top of my baubles.
1:18:00 Probably used that one a few times, and then when I get it out, I'm like, "I love it," but I always go for gold. Why I always go for gold? Need to change it up a little bit. Let's have a look. One code at once. Yeah. So,
1:18:30 if you're using your voucher code, you can use your voucher code, but if you've got one for 20% off as well, you can't use that as well. Otherwise, I'll be bankrupt in a week. One at a time, girls. One at a time. Now I'm going to do some gold sprigs with your stickles that you've all got. I didn't link these to the show because you've all got them. Or if you do want them, they are available on web. It's these, but most of you have them, the Stickles Gold and the Iridescent.
1:19:00 I love the gold. These are the two most popular ones that I use. They're a little bit jammed on the end there. And I always say, if you are trying a product, just don't look. I know a lot of you. I know what you're all like.
1:19:30 You go and you see something, and you think, "Oh, that's blooming brilliant. I'll have one in every color." No. You don't need one in every color. Try it first. Did you use it? So I'm telling you how to save money. Did you use it? Did you like it? Yeah. Well, go and then buy some more colors. Just buy a color that you know you're going to use, and if you use it over and over again, it's a good purchase. Go back and get some colors. Right? The world is not coming to an end. You can just do it bite-sized chunks.
1:20:00 Okay? Let's see if this is working now. I will think my world's come to an end when I come off air and I've got 100 wish lists. That's what's going to happen to me No, I won't. There's much left in this one, guys.
1:20:30 I'm doing gold and the iridescent. I'll hold it up in a second because this is stunning. If you want to enhance your bauble as well, I'm going to go just gently, not so it's full, but just gently.
1:21:00 A lot of faff has gone into this card. I hope whoever gets it appreciates it. And then we will use the other color as well. This one's icy. This one is Stardust.
1:21:30 And now we need to get a sentiment. That's not very straight, is it? Who's done that? Not guilty. "A viewer, thanks for the banner," says a viewer. Oh, you're welcome, sweetheart. Yeah, go and check it out. It's on for 48 hours, so just enjoy it show.
1:22:00 Just enjoy it show, and then you can go and have a peruse later, can't you, if you want to. Now I need to put sentiments. Now, where's my stickers? Now, I do have-- What I like about these particularly, you remember the old-fashioned gold and silver peel-offs, which have seen the day, haven't they? But a lot of people still use them, by the way. I like the fact that they've put them back in and made them vintage-esque. So you've got, like,
1:22:30 25 and the lines on the back, and the stars, so you could put some stars. It's just like he's made it vintage because he's quite cool like that, is our team, isn't he? Santa's, Claus', there's letter-- Not as cool as my our team, though. Sorry, Tim Holtz, you're not as cool as my our team. "The season of good cheer." Now, we can put it in bauble. We could maybe put something on here because they're all varied in sizes. Or you could just put 25 if you want to. "My wish for you" is nice. I think I'm going to go center it bauble.
1:23:00 Totally vintage. "My wish for you." "A wonderful tinsel dress." No, we don't want a tinsel dress, thank you very much. "A Christmas dream."
1:23:30 Let's go with that for now. And then you can take your pen and go around. I'm just going to do it all wonky purposely because they're actually wonky are the cuts as well, which is nice, so you can do your pen around. There we go. Like that. Then we need some real gems because it's flat at the moment. So let's grab some real gems. Might have to put a bit of glue under that if you've got wax, it might not stick.
1:24:00 You always get your points. Yeah, you do. Let's have a look. Purple. Here, well, look at these sequins. I mean, come on. They are perfect. Going with this one, guys.
1:24:30 I need, like, a twine bow here, something to finish this. It's floating. It's not a good sketch at all. Right. Let's get some sequins on here. Being a clothing designer, you could make a tinsel dress for ugly Christmas clothing.
1:25:00 Let me just get some glue. Some more of you have bought vouchers. Well done, guys. Like I say, the vouchers are there all the time anyway. Today, obviously, for the 48 hours, you have the discounts on two of them, but there is still at least a month before Christmas anyway, so you can send your wish list whenever. And it doesn't have to be for Christmas. There is one for birthday as well, and there is one for just 100197 - HTCN - STAMPS BY ME NEAT & TIDY MULITFUNCTIONAL...
1:25:30 because. So if you want to send your wish list to anybody, do it next year if you want. Doesn't have to be done now. Can be done whenever. If at all. Right, I'm just going to put some glue in spaces here. Just a few spaces. We'll get some of these. Those whites are where I'm going to put the sequins.
1:26:00 Just trying to find my tweezers. There we go. All right. If you don't have sequins, maybe you've got my pearls Those pearls are in the show as well. If you've got the pearls, if you've got these,
1:26:30 these all work beautifully too. So you don't have to specifically buy sequins, guys. Use what you might have in your stash. Rule three. So that's getting three there. And then just to finish that, I would probably get my white
1:27:00 highlighter pen and just draw the detail back in for those lost leaves, in the hope that I'm not going to hit the glitter glue. So let's just grab a white highlighter, see if that's going to work. And that's pretty much it. Not a bad sketch to say, guys, that we didn't know what we were doing, remember. So a white highlighter, and then all I'm going to do is try and put some lines on
1:27:30 here, but it might not because it's all wet and there's wax and there's glitter glue and there's all sorts going on. Is it showing? Not much. No, it's gone in glitter glue there. It's not going to sketch, is it? But let's see if I can. Yeah. I think you get the idea. Do some white spots. PEARL WHEEL BUNDLE X 5 - 010126A
1:28:00 Add some white spots because my white ink pad didn't do the job. Probably cut this card down and just have it like that, to be honest. What do we think?
1:28:30 That is a very sparkly card. So that's the purple version from the purple Tim Holtz, and then that's the red one from the day before with using those lovely stencils. So if you've got stencils in your stash that have got the berries and the buds, then absolutely build the cluster and make something that is truly handmade. Not that anything else isn't handmade, but something where you've had to think about a little bit of composition or something like that.
1:29:00 You don't have to spend it all at once, now. If you just want to spend a bit, we'll sort out the difference. Our team will sort it out, break it down. So if you buy something, and you use your code, what's left, our team will send, in return, the vouchers for whatever's left. That's what we normally do anyway. But our team will put it all in the back of your account.
1:29:30 So what do we think? Which card's best, this one or this one? Purple or red? I'll let you decide. So I'm just going to pop back on screen the things that are hot this evening, which are the Tim Holtz storage tin. Very nice. I've also popped in some light MDF-y bits as well. I've had a good root with warehouse.
1:30:00 The Picket Fence white spray, and then what stencil is that? The poinsettia stencil. I like the tree. There's a beautiful tree one. But anyway, just before I just go, I'm just going to show you this orange. You've seen me obviously paint with it this evening. Just paint with it, put it in a brush pen, add some water, dilute it down if you want to. But let's just shake it to wake it. This is Gossip Ink worth talking
1:30:30 about. You just take a brush, and I'll just show you on some white cardstock, shall I, what it actually looks like. And then also, if you put some on a mat and put some on a sponge, the sponge daubers, these ones, you can stencil through and you get sparkly ink. So you've got your traditional inks, but you can stencil through with the sparkly ink too. So let me just see if I've got a flat brush here I could use.
1:31:00 There we go. Let's just clean this. Purple, red, red, red, purple. I think purple's on me now. I did like the red, really loved the red, but I think the purple's grown on me. Right. So let's just show you this real quick. Pop it on. Oh, you see it there.
1:31:30 A little goes a long way, by the way. So you could make your own unique backgrounds if you wanted to, but there it is. Hopefully, you can see the spark. Ooh. They're all like this, guys. It don't matter what color you pick. So hopefully, you can see that there. So if you are sort of painting maybe pumpkins' leaves, autumn
1:32:00 leaves, then you just take... You can water it down as well. Add a bit of water so you don't get too intense, because it's quite an intense color. It lasts a while as well, by the way. And then you just pick up your brush, and you all know the rules. Toe, belly, toe. So toe of your brush, toe, belly, toe. You can paint your own leaves. Toe, belly, toe, and you get sparkly leaves too.
1:32:30 So all of the colors are beautiful Wonderful. Okay, so you can paint with them as well. You can stencil with them also as well. So I'm sorry that was a one-minute demo, but somebody did ask me, so I really did need to show you. And don't leave your brushes in the water, because what does it do? It rots the hair in your brush, works its way up into the funnel here, and then all the hairs will just start dropping out. So never leave them sat in water either.
1:33:00 I know where you all live, and I will find you. So that's that. Let's just clean this up. And there we go. So that is the Thursday evening. Make the most of the vouchers if you have been waiting. I know that lots of you wait for some of the vouchers as well to see what the offer's going to be. So make sure you're checking on your vouchers. All of the products are linked. If you like any of the products as well, of course, you can go and check that out.
1:33:30 I would say grab a cup of tea, watch the show, enjoy it on catch up if you want to. Now, all the prices are true and real at the time of me going live, which was 6:00 p.m. UK time today. Offers do change if you are watching on catch up, so please do bear that in mind. The offers are on the vouchers for 48 hours from the recording of this show, 6:00 p.m. We don't want any fallouts, okay? So that's it. So it's bonfire night. Is anybody actually going out to a party, or are you all just sitting in because
1:34:00 you're old and boring like me? You're like, "I'm old and boring. Why does she always call us old?" Well, you are all old, but it is what it is, right? And I'm cheeky. So one more comment in case. "I win about just in time seldom catch you live." Thank you. Are you coming for a visit, Tony? Please do visit the USA other than HSN. A viewer, I am visiting the USA for something else
1:34:30 other than HSN. Stand by your bed, young lady. "Great show, by the way, everyone." Well, thank you so much. So whatever you're doing, as always, stay safe, stay cozy. I am back with you tomorrow. Check the schedule, okay? And I am on UK TV on Monday as well. So quite a busy
1:35:00 weekend. So whatever you're doing, have a lovely time. Don't be sending me your wish list, and I will speak to you all later. Have a great day, guys. See you later. Bye, guys.
