TheCube presents HPE Discover 2022, brought to you by HPE. Okay, we're back here at HPE Discover 2022. TheCube's continuous coverage is day two, Dave Vellante with John Furrier. John Friars here, he's the chief technologist for sustainable transformation at Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Justin Merle, who's the director of corporate responsibility for AMD. Guys, welcome to theCUBE, good to see you. Thank you, it's great to be here. So, yeah, I remember the days where, you know, CIOs didn't really care about the power budget, they didn't pay the power budget, you had facilities over here, IT over here, and they didn't talk to each other, that's changed. Why is there so much discussion around sustainable IT today? It's exciting to see how much it's up-leveled, as you say. I think there are a couple different trends happening, but mainly, you know, the IT teams and IT leaders that are making decisions are seeing, to your point, how their decisions are affecting enterprise-level greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. So that connection is becoming very clear. Everything from the server processor to beyond it, those decisions have a key role, and importantly, we're seeing 60% of the Fortune 500 now have climate or energy efficiency-related goals. So, there's a perfect storm of sorts happening where more companies setting goals, IT decision makers looking particularly at the data center, because as the computational heart of an organization, it has a wealth of opportunity from an energy and emission savings perspective. I'm surprised it's only 60%. I mean, that number really shocked me, so it's got to be 100% in the next couple of years here. I would think, I mean, it's not trivial, right? You've got responsibilities in terms of reporting and you can't just mail it in, right? Yeah, absolutely. There's a lot more disclosure happening, but the goal setting is really up-leveling as well. And the metrics involved too. Can you just scope the scale and challenge of getting the right metrics, not when you have the goals? Does that factor in? What do you see there? What's your commentary on that? Yeah, I think there's, the aperture is continuing to open as metrics go, so to speak. So from an operations perspective, companies are reporting on what's referred to as scope one and scope two, and scope two is the big one from electricity, right? And then scope three is everything else. That's the supply chain and the outside of that. So a lot of implications there as well from IT decision making. Is there a business case for sustainable IT?  But is it just, hey, it's the right thing to do. We have to do it. It's good for the brand. It'll allow us to attract people. Or is there a more of a rich business case? So there really is a business case, even just with inside the data center walls, for example. There's inefficiencies that are inherent in many of these data centers. There's really low utilization levels as well. And by reducing over provisioning and increasing utilization, there's real money to be saved in terms of equipment costs, maintenance agreement costs, software licensing costs. So actually the power consumption in the environmental piece is an added benefit, but it's not the main reason. So we actually had IDC do a survey for us last year and we asked IT executives, 500 senior IT executives, were you implementing sustainable IT programs and why? My guess initially was about 40% of them would say yes, actually the number was 96% of them. And when we asked them why, they fell into three categories. The digital leaders, those that are the early adopters, moving the quickest, they said we do it to attract and retain institutional investors. They've been hearing from their boards, they've been hearing from their investor relations teams and investors are starting to ask. And even in a couple cases, board seats are becoming contentious based on the environmental perspective of the person being nominated. This digital mainstream, the folks in the middle about 80% of the total pie, they're doing it to attract and retain customers because customers are asking them about their sustainable IT programs. If they're a non-manufacturing customer, their data center consumption is probably the largest part of their company. It's also by the way, usually the most expensive real estate the company owns. So customers are asking and customers are not only asking, do you have basic programs in place? But they're asking, what are your goals to Justin's point? The customers are starting to realize that carbon goals have been vaguely defined historically. So they're asking for specificity, they're asking for transparency. And by the way, the science-based target initiative recently released their requirements for net zero science-based targets and that requires significant reduction to your point before you start considering renewable energy in that balance. So the third reason those digital followers that slowest group or folks that are in industries that move the slowest, they said they were doing this to attract and retain employees because they recognize that the data scientists, the computer science, computer engineering students that they're trying to attract want to work at a company where they can see how what they do directly contributes to purpose. And they vote with their feet if they come on and they can't make that connection pretty quickly or if they spend a lot of their time chasing down inefficiencies in a technology infrastructure, they're not going to stay there very long. I mean, the mission-driven organization is definitely an employee factor. People are interested in that. The only work for a company is responsible doing the right thing. But the business case is interesting because I think there's recognition now more than ever before. You think you're right on it. It used to be kind of like mail it in before, okay, we're doing some stuff. Now it's like we all have to do it and it's a board issue. It's a financing issue. It might be a filing issue, as you might have mentioned. So that's all great. So I got to ask how you guys specifically are working together, AMD and HPE. What are you guys doing to make it more efficient? And then I'll see with cloud and cloud scale, there's more servers being shipped now than ever before. So, and more devices at the edge. What are you guys doing together specifically? Yeah, we've been working together, AMD and HPE on advancing sustainability for many years. I've had the opportunity of working directly with John for many years and I've learned a lot from him and your team. It's fantastic to see all the developments here. I mean, so most recently the top 500 and the green 500 list of supercomputers came out. And at the top of that list is AMD HPE systems. And it shows kind of the pinnacle of what can be possible for other data centers looking to modernize and scale. So the number one system, the fastest system in the world and the most energy efficient system in the world, the frontier supercomputer has AMD HPE technology in it. And it just passed the exascale barrier. I mean, I'm still just blown away by this a billion, billion calculations per second. It's just amazing. And the research is doing around clean energy, alternative energy sources, scientific research is really exciting. So there's that. The other system that really jumps out is the LUMI system, the number three system because it's 100% powered by renewable energy. So not only that, it takes the heat and it channels it to a nearby town and covers 20% of that town's heating needs. Thereby avoiding 12,400 metric tons of carbon emissions. So this system is carbon negative, right?  I mean, AMD is in the top eight out of 10 most green 500. So rewind that second. So you have the heat and the power shifting to a town? Yes. The LUMI supercomputer has the heat from the system to a nearby town. It's like a closed loop. The idea of circular economy, but with energy. And it takes that waste and it makes it an input, a resource. But this is the kind of innovation that's going on, right? This is the scale. This is where scale and efficiency kind of come together. That's huge. Where's that going to go? What's your perspective on where that goes next? Because that's a blueprint that could be replicated. You bet. So I think we're going to continue to see overall power consumption go up at the system level. But performance per watt is climbing much more dramatically. So I think that's going to continue to scale. It's going to require new cooling technology. So direct liquid cooling is becoming more and more in use and customers really interested in that. There's shifting from industry standard architectures to lower end high performance computer architectures to get direct liquid cooling, higher core processors and get the performance they want in a smaller footprint. And at the same time, they're really thinking about how do we operate the infrastructure as a system, not as individual piece parts? And one of the things that Frontier and Lumie do so well as they were designed from the start as a system, not as piece parts making up the system. So I think that happens. The other thing that's really critical is no one company is going to solve these challenges ourselves. So one of the things I love about our partnership with AMD is we look at each other sustainability goals before we launch them. We say, well, how can we help? One of AMD's goals that I'll let Justin talk about came about because HPE at the time of separation laid a really aggressive product energy efficiency goal out. Said, but we're not sure how we're going to make this and AMD said we can help. So that collaboration, we critique each other's programs, we push each other, but we work together. I like to say partnership is a leadership in this. Well, that's a nuanced point before you get to that solution there, Justin. This systems thinking is really important. You're seeing that now with cloud, some of the things the Green Lake and the systems are pointing out, this holistic systems thinking is applied to partnerships, not just the company. This is a really nuanced point, but we're seeing that more and more. Yeah, absolutely. In fact, Justin mentioned the heat reuse. It's the same way with the National Renewable Energy Lab. They actually did snow removal and building heating with the heat reuse. So if you're designing, for example, a liquid cold system from the start, how do you make it a symbiotic relationship? There's more and more interest in co-locating data centers in greenhouses in colder environments, for example, because the principle of the circular economy is nothing is waste. So if you think it's waste or you think it's a byproduct, think about how can that be an input to something else? Right, so you might put a data center so you can use ambient cooling or somewhere in the Columbia River so you can take advantage of renewable energy. What are some goals that you guys can share with us? So we've got some great momentum and a track record coming off of going back to 2014, we set a 25 by 20 goal to improve the energy efficiency for our mobile processors and mobile devices, right? So laptops. And we were able to achieve a 31.7x in that timeframe, so which was twice the industry trend to that. So it really, and then moving on, we've doubled down on data center and we've set a new goal of a 30x increase in energy efficiency for our server processors and accelerators to really focused on HPC and AI training. So that's a 30x goal over 2020 to 2025 focused on these really important workloads because they're fast growing. We heard yesterday 150 billion devices connected by 2025 generating a lot of data, right? So that's one of the reasons why we focused on that because these are demanding workloads and this represents a 2.5x increase over the historical trend, right? And fundamentally speaking, that's a 97% reduction in energy use per computation in five years. So we're very pleased. We announced an update recently. We're at 6.8x, we're on track for this goal and making great progress and showing how these solutions at a processor level and an accelerator level can be amplified, taken into HPE technology.  And is that the case in this space or do you guys collaborate with your competitors to share best practice? Is that beginning? Is it already there? There's much more collaboration in the space. This is one of the safe places I think where collaboration does occur more. Yeah, and we've all got to work together. A great example that was in the supply chain. When HPE first set our supply chain expectations for our suppliers around things like worker rights and environment and worker protection from a health and safety perspective. We initially had our code of conduct ask their suppliers to comply with it, started auditing them out. And we quickly got into the factories and saw they were doing it for our workloads. But if you looked around the factory, they weren't doing it other places. And we took a step back and said, well, wait a minute, why is that? And they said, that vendor doesn't require it. So we took a step back and said, let's get the industry together. We share a common supply chain. How do we have a common set of expectations and push them out to our supply chain? How to now do third party audits so the same supplier doesn't get audited by each of the major vendors and then share those audit results. And what we found was that really had a large lever effect of moving the electronic supply chain much more rapidly towards our expectations in all those areas. Well, then other industries looked and said, well, wait a minute, if that worked for electronics, it'll probably work broader. And so now the output of that is what's called the responsible business alliance across many industries taking that same approach. So that's a pre-competitive. We all have the same challenge. In many cases, we share a common supply chain. So that's a great example of electronic companies coming together, design standards for things. There's a green grid group at the moment looking at liquid cooling connects. You know, we don't want every vendor to have a different connection point for liquid cooling, for example. So how do we standardize that to make our customers have a easier time about looking at the technologies they want from any vendor and having common connection points? All right, okay, so a lot of collaboration. Last question, how much of a difference do you think it can make? In other words, what percent of the blame pie goes to information technology? And I think regardless, you got to do your part. Yeah. Will it make a dent? I think the sector has done a really good job of keeping that increase from going up while exponentially increasing performance, right? So it's been a really amazing industry effort. And moving forward, I think this is more important than ever, right? And with the slowdown of Moore's law, we're seeing more gains that need to come from process, beyond process architecture to include packaging innovations to power management, to just the architecture here. So the challenge of mitigating and minimizing energy growth is important. And we believe like with that 30X energy efficiency goal that it is doable, but it does take a lot of collaboration and focus. That's a great point. I mean, if you didn't pay attention to this, IT could really become a big piece of the pie. Guys, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. People are watching. People are watching.

The challenge of the Yukon. Und King! Und you Husky! King, the swiftest, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of northwest-mounted police who preserved law and order in the Yukon during the gold rush of 98. That was the year that brought over 50,000 men swarming into the Klondike region and the greed for gold led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, the force preserved a splendid record in maintaining the right. The challenge of the north was answered and justice ruled triumphant. Harry Jenkins, a well-to-do writer, came to the Yukon to gather material for a book. He heard much of the men who rushed to the north country to get rich quick. With a good outfit and sturdy dogs, he set out to see these minors, the lucky ones and the unfortunate. He visited Indian tribes and presented them with gifts. It delighted him to see their faces blow when they saw the great heavy gold watch he carried. It was early morning when Jenkins and his guide Pierre Beaumont waved a last goodbye to Chief Charlie and his people. Hi, Chief. Maybe we'll see you again sometime. Harry Jenkins didn't know it, but that was his last time to see Chief Charlie or anyone else. The next day, Sergeant Preston stopped for a moment at the Indian village. No, I'm sorry, Charlie. I want to get to half-mile this afternoon. The next time I come by this way, I'll plan to spend more time with your people. White man always much in hurry. My people miss see red coat. This kind of weather, that red coat, has to be covered with something to keep out the wind. We sell white man's skin yesterday. Keep him warm. It was a good deal for you. If not like other men come here for gold, him carry big gold clock. Me, what trade skin? Oh, trade the skins for the watch, eh? Him not do. What was his name? Him name Jenkins. Him may be big chief. Well, if he is, I never heard of him. Get the dogs up, King. Goodbye, Charlie. Charlie Wiss, Sergeant Preston, safe journey. Good trail. Thanks. Good luck to you and your people. On you, Huskies! Now, the wind in our back, we're making better time than I expected. At least we don't have to break a trail this trip. No snow for the last two days. Looks like we'll get some before nightfall, all right. Seems King's found something ahead there. All right, fella. All right. All you, Huskies. What's that you... A man? Yes, King. He's dead. Oh, tracks of another man. Looks like he put up a fight for his life. The other man shot him and then got in the sled and kept going. Well, maybe we can find out who he is. No money in his pockets, nothing to... Oh, what's this? A key chain with a tag on it. Well, let's see. Harry A. Jenkins? Jenkins. Well, that's the man Charlie was telling me about. Whoever was with him robbed and murdered him. We'll get him on a sled and then follow those tracks, King. There. That does it. All right, boy. On, King! Are you Huskies? With King in the lead, the dogs raced over the frozen trail while Sergeant Preston kept his eyes on the tracks in the snow. But as the team neared half-mile, the mountain knew his job would be doubly difficult, for the tracks of the sled he'd been following were obliterated by countless others. A short time later, Sergeant Preston arrived in town. Well, we'll stop at the hotel, King. Whoever killed Jenkins robbed him, so he came into town with plenty of money.  All right, get in line there. Come on, over with the dog. Well, his dog doesn't follow him, boy. I don't blame you. That's no way to treat an animal. Here we are, fella. Hello, Sam. I thought you were a customer, Sergeant. That is to my recognized King there. I get fooled every time when you got your tunic covered up. Me with a memory for phases, too. It's been a long time since we've been a half-mile. But, Sam, we didn't stop in just to pay a friendly call. No? Well, then... What's coming last night or early this morning? Well, matter of fact, there's only been one. He came in late last night. He did, huh? What's his name? Fellow name Beaumont. Pierre Beaumont. Stranger in town? Not exactly. I've seen him around before. Only I never saw him flesh as much money around as he did this time. What room is he in, Sam? I'd like to talk to him. Why didn't you say so, Sergeant? He left here, checked out, not 15 minutes ago. Said he was going to head for Simmons' cabin up the trail. What did he look like? Oh, he's big. I'd say about 6 feet 2. Kind of dark skinned, bushy black eyebrows. Then he must have been the one we saw outside. Huh? Oh, we saw someone outside a few minutes ago. Seem to have a lot of trouble getting his dogs together. I think I understand why now. You got something on him? Yes, yes, we have. Come on, King. I wish I'd known you were looking for him. What'd you want it for? We'll tell you about it when we get back, Sam. Right now, King and I are heading for Simmons' cabin. Along most of the well-used trails in the north, there were prospectors' cabins with latch strings hung on the outside of the doors. It was the custom for any traveler to pull the string, which raised the inside wooden bar, walk in and make himself at home. There was always dry wood in the stove and a square block of matches in sight, so the demand coming in might make a fire with the least possible waste of time. Simmons' cabin was one of these. Inside, the stove was glowing while an old prospector warmed his feet in front of it. His companion walked over to the window, raised his horny hand to shade his eyes and peered out. It looks like we're going to have company, Pete. Yeah. Well, I don't know who it might be, but from the way he was yelling at his dogs, it sounded like a good company to me.  What's that you're putting in, mate? Yeah, got in mind a whittler boat with an Indian sitting in it. Come on in, stranger. Make yourself at home, as you were doing. Thanks. Hang your mackin' all over there, stranger. Yeah. Got anything to eat here? Raised beans in the cupboard. Mind to fix them.  Thanks. You were talking about dogs a minute ago. Huh. Worthless pack of hounds. That's all? Well, now every man's welcome to his own opinion, but I had a dog once smart as Husky that ever walked. Which one was that? Called her Pussyfoot. Yes, sir. Now there was a dog. Yes, sir, the best dog in the Yukon. My money, I'll take a horse. No, horses don't get far on these trails up here. Ain't just dependable. They would tell you about the time Pussyfoot saved my life, mate. Yeah, sure. I heard that story 60 times if I heard it once. And every time you tell it, you make it bigger. Well, maybe the stranger here ain't heard it yet. You're right, I haven't. I can do just as well without hearing it. Strangely don't like dogs, and that's that. But you do.  Wait a minute. Ain't any dog can do that? Just talk in, and I'll prove it. You better. I'd like to know if Pussyfoot doesn't make more company coming. Yeah, whoever he is. If he wants something neat, he can fix it himself. Just like I had to. You ain't crippled, stranger. Hey, looks like we got a full house tonight. Come on over here by the stove, mister. Thanks. What's that dog doing in here? Oh, he's with me. Well, he can stay outside with the rest of them. Maybe you didn't hear what I said. He's with me. He's welcome, first, Mike and me are concerned, mister. I'd like more welcome and certain people I'm looking at right now.  Uh, you, uh, you men together? Us? Shucks, no.  Mike and me are, but the stranger here, he's got in a while back. I see. I'll cook some beans a little while. It's every man for himself here. Yes, so I see. What's the matter, boy?  Pete, that husky there reminds me an awful lot of this other dog I was telling you about. Oh, oh, yeah. I want to hear that story. Mister, maybe you like dogs. Good looking one like that one following around. You sure can pick them. Yes, he's a fine dog. Well, Pete here claims his husky saved his life once. She did, too. The dog I'm telling you about didn't only save one life, Pete, he saved the whole community. The whole community? Oh, now that's a tall one. It's a truth. It's a pristine dog, husky named King.  Ain't any of them worth what it takes to feed them? Yeah, I've finished eating them if you want to cook some beans. Yeah.  Come on, Mike. Get over your story. If that were such a smart dog, I want to hear about it. You remember the time they had to dip to hear the epidemic up at Fort Mon? Yeah. You remember it, mister? Yes. Yes, I remember it well. The only thing that could stop the folks from dying off like flies were to get serum to the town and get it there fast. I know that. Sure, any fool does. But there wasn't a drop to be had, and it was 100 miles to Hawkinsville and back to get it. What I want to know is where this here dog you're talking about coming in. I'm getting to that.  Sergeant Preston got into town with that there dog he is, and once he took the situation in, he sent King off with a message in his collar, mind you. All that way, while she stayed in town with the minister to save what lives he could. And would you believe it? The dog left it early morning, and by 10 o'clock that night he was back with serum in his collar and a note from the dock at Hawkinsville saying he was following with more. That's how a dog saved the whole community. Well, sir, I tell you, I wouldn't have believed it. You mean you saw that dog leave Fort Mon and come back with a serum? Saw him! Why, man, I was right there working along with the sergeant myself. Me and him are great pals. He's a fine fellow, Pete. I'd stand that dog of his against anything in the Yukon. Uh, I've heard enough of dog stories. I'm turning in. You can ask Doc Burns the next time to go to Hawkinsville, if you don't believe me. When I see my friend Sergeant Preston, I'll get it in writing. Uh, anyone got the time getting a little tired of myself? Yeah, yeah, I got the time. Just a minute. Just about. Watch is stopped. Let's go. Let's have a look at it. Wait a minute, stranger. I don't show this watch to everybody. No? Probably for a good reason, Pierre Beaumont. I said let me see that watch. A little demandant for a stranger. How'd you know my name? It's my business to know all about men like you. A man is a stranger until he introduces himself, Beaumont. I'm Sergeant Preston of the Monod Police. Sergeant Preston! You don't have anything on me, Monty. If your conscience is clear, you'll hand that watch over now. Yeah? Well, suppose I will. Hey, look out! He's grabbing for the knife! No, no, don't! Quiet boy, quiet. Now I'll have a look at that watch. No wonder he wouldn't show it to me. Engraved Harriet Jenkins, 1895. He's our man, all right. That was some sock you landed on his chin, Sergeant. I don't know how you manage it with all him heavy clothes on.  I didn't want to let him see my red coat. And I hated to interrupt your story. Um... Sergeant. Yeah. Yeah. It appears like you've got some explaining to do, Mike. I, uh, knew Peter'd never believe you if I hadn't said I was there in Fort Mon with you. I heard the story from Doc Burns. Oh, that's all right, Mike. If we weren't friends before, we are now. Well, I'll handcuff the prisoner and King and I'll keep a watch on him tonight. Understand, boy? Then tomorrow it's back to half-mile. Chief Charlie to identify Beaumont, he's as good as hunting. You mean King here guards prisoners, too? Oh, yes. And you can take my word for it. As far as King was concerned, Mike didn't exaggerate the story he just told it all. Yes, King, the case is closed.

Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft and I've just received the latest trim craft design team package. I am so excited, I have been waiting eagerly by the door, actually it's been a really nice day of crafting and this is just the cream on the top. So I have only just undone the tape, I haven't done anything else so I'm going to unbox this with you all now. Okay so first up we've got the Gardenia collection from First Edition and these papers are beautiful, I mean they just scream spring and I know there's snow outside at the moment but what a joy to have these, they are freezing cold as well so I can tell that they've been obviously travelling for some time but nonetheless let's get into them. So I'll just show you the print from the 8x8, the 12x12 is exactly the same, it's just blown up bigger but let's just have a little flick through. So as always you get your pearl eyes, you get two pearl eyes designs, two fabric texture designs and one spot UV design and then half the rest are double-sided so which is always nice, just going to take that off the back there. Okay so yeah look at that, feel the pearl eyes pattern there, beautiful all your spring, not necessarily just spring but just pretty flowers, lovely blooms, really really lovely colours and it's nice to now start creating yeah some new projects I'm ready to move on now and start using some other things so here's all your butterflies, really pretty again pearl eyes, they'd be nice to fussy cut as well, this one I love it's textured and it's a wood grain, you can just see there it's a real dark wood grain but that's going to look really lovely, it's almost like an olive green actually, you see it, that's that one, we've got this one here which is full of bees, bumblebees all over and that's again another fabric one and then you've got this one here which is gorgeous, lovely like dusty rose, beautiful, this one with the watering cans and they've got the little robin on the top there and the butterflies, again I really love that one and the bigger version of that again will be really nice to fussy cut, this one here is those same birds but just on their own, gorgeous prints, this one here is got this kind of textured, it's a textured background really, it's really nice, thanks a bunch, love love blooms, let your dreams be kind, grow, celebrate or time to celebrate but it's it's it's spelt the way time the herbs spelt so I really like that, love blooms, I think that's it then it just repeats again but you've got the dragonflies, you've got spades, you've got the bird boxes, really it's just really lovely, perfect if you've got a lot of nature lovers, people who love being in their garden, yeah it's going to work well, look at that one, that is great for any king gardener for their birthday card and I like that it's like the old style, my nan, well actually we had one but my nan had one as well and it's the the push lawn mowers, I do, I've got memories of doing that and even doing it myself so I really like the the vintage style there and these are now the double-sided ones so you've got the dragonfly on the back there which is really lovely, that's gorgeous, that reminds me of something as well, trying to think now I think it might have been a book I read when I was younger but I really like that style and then on the back there you've got that nice polka dot so this is a really good pack for male and female cards, you've just got such a nice variety here and the colors are just so different it's lovely there you go another butterfly one with the stripes, I always love a stripe with like a polka dot or a print, I think they look really good so that stripe with that looks great, love lady bugs well lady birds but lady bugs really love them and I've got a really nice bug stamp set and I saw this and I just thought it's brilliant you've got them just kind of walking and then you've got them flying as well and they're really good, again the larger ones and look this is brilliant this is so me you've got snails and you've got like little critters there other bugs beetles love it really like it some of you now be going oh no it's couldn't you know not sure about bugs and stuff but they look great and they're good for kids cards and yeah just think they're lovely that one it's full of all your different bird boxes wonderful well-inting boots or welly boots love it love love love that's gorgeous that's really pretty with the yellow butterflies all over and then you've got that lovely print there another nice one with the acorns and all your different oh gosh what are these called the little propellers somebody write in the comments it's

look amazing they're going to look so good so that is that then we've got oh now you know how much I've loved the dovecraft holographic silver gold and rose gold mirrored card stock well this is can you see there's the condensation inside because it's obviously so warm in here now look that's how cold it is outside this is the rainbow card pack mermaid and unicorn card pack so you know that's going to look great with that chasing rainbows that I've just shared and then this one here is the tropical card pack so let's just see how great these colors are okay so this is the rainbow card pack so you get one of each color and there's eight colors so there's just look at that you know already I'm going to be using this like all the time in fact I'm going to have to get myself another pack because there's no way this is going to last me at all it will be gone just look at how amazing just look at that the camera is probably going crazy right now picking up all of these wonderful look at that wow I mean that on your cards when you're doing your mats and layers is just going to look amazing so that is the rainbow card pack okay let's put it away otherwise I'll just be staring at it for ages okay next is the mermaid and unicorn card pack so again one of each color and eight colors and it's 250 gsm let me just check what did that other one say because that one is 250 as well so they're perfect for you I always say 250 and above is perfect for your card mats and layers and even your card bases as well so what we got here I've got a beautiful teal it's like pearlized teal color then we've got that silver we've got beautiful pink we've got that real kind of fuchsia hot pink lovely mint green there where my camera is really struggling and then it's almost a peachy peachy pink a gold or yeah it's kind of lucky yeah yellowy gold that one and then this really lovely purple again look at those and they're so smooth they are gorgeous you probably what I can't see why you can't you can heat emboss on these as well so stamping and embossing will be quite nice um heat embossing sorry and even using your embossing folders embossing folders on mirrored or any kind of you know shimmer and pearlized card stock just looks beautiful so lots and lots and lots of ideas there and then the other one is the tropical card pack so again one of each color and eight designs so we've got here look at that gorgeous it's almost like a lime green and we've got that blue a real brighter green there that's a darker purple that's almost like a neon kind of yellow like yes yeah

so there's those ones there aren't they just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous okay okay now this is the one I've been excited for and I've been teased with this for a while now and this is the fairy tales the new dovecraft premium collection it's absolutely gorgeous and the the thing that again I really like about this is that a minimum of £10,000 will be donated to the mind charity I will share a link to the mind charity below it's a fantastic mental health charity so I think that's a wonderful thing and it's nice to know that you know when we're purchasing things we're also doing a good thing for charity so yeah wonderful okay so the nice thing about the dovecraft ones they've done this on the that be happy I think it was you always get this really nice kind of cover sheet with all the patterns and again that's really nice to use as well you know on any of your projects so in here we have a pop it on the side they're all 8x8 but it's more a 9x8 because they give you this kind of perforated 1 inch piece at the top here so that's the actual 8x8 piece there but this is just a nice leaf design then you've got this gorgeous look at that look at those fairies isn't that pretty it's all got that lovely sparkle on top this one I really liked and some of you might be thinking really but if you look closely it's just a really nice script and it's just handwritten I mean it's yeah I really can't work out what it says but I do love that for backgrounds I think it's very romantic so I do like that one this is a really nice pearlized one there isn't that gorgeous perfect for backgrounds look at that one there another absolutely beautiful design then you've got the gorgeous butterflies there these are just so textured this is why it's their premium dovecraft premium collection then you've got that similar kind of fairy one but this one's just your mat so it's just yeah just a plain paper finish and then we've got that one there another gorgeous background paper pretty butterflies again it's just very very pretty very girly again a really nice background paper there so perfect for your mats and layers another nice one there with the butterflies and then that one there that's a really good one to fussy cut so the paper pack is beautiful but the best thing are the accessories so let's just see look at all these bits okay so we've got the button and the buttons the bows so you get 20 mini bows here really nice colors you've got that lovely kind of um not quite a neon green but it's it's kind of like it's just really pretty I like that and it's different then we've got this which I thought was lovely and it is a gem sticker in the shape of a fairy so let me bring in like that you can see how cute is that really really lovely so that's going to look that would actually look really nice on a gift tag just hanging off of a gift bag so that's probably what I'll end up doing something that's what I'll do with this something like that so that's the fairy you always get your adhesive pearls these are the flat back pearls and I love that deep almost like it's like a red pink whiny kind of color it's really nice I like that then we've got these lovely sentiment toppers perfect to go on your cards and you just see how perfectly it all matches which is just great have a magical day birthday wishes just for you yeah love them really nice this is brilliant you get so many in it it says 30 paper blossoms but I've had these packs before and there's always a few more because they are the way they're kind of on top of each other they almost get pressed when they get cut so you always get that extra few and again they're all just really nice like pastel kind of colors they're going to look great and then you imagine you know you've got one of these pearls in the center of each one look really pretty we've got these so they are really nice doilies paper doilies you get 40 there so again absolutely tons pop that one under there look at these these are fairy ones oh my god they are metal they are heavy and they are just so cute excuse my um black finger there I was doing some stamping before my parcel arrived but look aren't they cute and they've got a little ring here so you can hang them so they look lovely hanging off the side of your you know dairies and your planners and stuff like that but also if you're doing little card designs but oh my gosh I just picture a little fairy now coming along my desk I just think that's absolutely gorgeous so that's them you get 12 which is really good I love them and that's something really different then you get your wooden frames I am going to promise myself to try and use these because I must confess even before I joined the trim craft team this was the one thing that I would always get but I would never use and I think I've maybe used it once in one of the collections in all the times that I've been buying trim craft so trim craft I'm going to promise you I'm going to try and incorporate these a bit more I just don't know what it is I just they're always the last thing I go to so but every time I see people using them I love the way that they've used them so you get four of each design and there's three designs so you've got there is like a trellis print on that you probably can't pick it up then you've got that square print and then you've got that one there so yeah I promise I will use them again there's so many there so then these are beautiful look at those the flowers they get a little bit kind of misshaped but they're quite easy to to rework again when you take them out you get 16 paper flowers there pegs I always love the pegs they're great on my I use a lot of them in my albums and stuff and they just look great obviously when you're making gift tax there's different sizes where you got tiny ones and you've got slightly larger ones there's 35 in total but that's all the pegs which are great then there's still more guys there was so much to this collection this was the other thing that I was excited to get this is going to look so good in a shaker card and these are iridescent confetti tiny tiny fairies and they look like tinkerbell grab one look at that it's so cute there is a embossed image on top again it's quite hard for you to see it can you just work it out there you can just see the embossed image of the fairy and it's just so cute there are tons there are what's 15 just 15 grams there are hundreds in there I can't wait to use that like I said that is shaker card definitely then we've got these which are your glitter pots you get four 15 gram glitter pots and look at those you've got that lovely green silver blue and pink really nice and I love using the glitter pots with my double-sided tape so if you want to create like a nice border on a card you put a strip around your four sides and then you sprinkle the glitter over and it looks fantastic so that will definitely be getting used then we've got some dyes so this is the fairy butterfly and the with love so you get three steel dyes that our fairies going to be lovely and again dye cut it in a few colors and then you kind of a bit like paper piecing really put it back together again with all the different colors that you've used so yeah really nice you can see them better on the back there I really love that detail there in the fairies wings so it's that one then there's these which again something new and fun and they're little shakers six shakers there and you've got fairy dust that one says again fairy dust and that one's just got the fairy in each one and then fairy dust that they get again at the bottom again how lovely are those I say kids but like you know I love them and I'm an adult but kids are going to love this it's just so fun so that's that one then this was another thing that I loved 84 pieces glitter sticker boots I do love stickers I use them lots so I can't wait to use these so you've got page there all the different fairies make a wish have a magical day so again I stick these on card then cut them out again and they make nice little toppers for your cards so you get one two two of that design then it will be I guess two of this design here that's a lovely image so one two then two of that design there's loads of stickers in this one and that one this is great look at that lovely um like wreath of butterflies and I really like that with all the three little jars there fairy dust and then yeah that's it how lovely is that it's going to get lots and lots of use then we get the ribbons so we always get ribbons this is five times one meter ribbons love that pink I've had my sparkle on that that's gorgeous I believe in fairies with love got a nice green one there with butterflies and then that one there as well gorgeous absolutely love those then you get the buttons again look at all of those wow and again you these are great to use on your clothing so if you've got a nice jacket or a pretty dress or something then you know use them on your clothing you don't have to use them in your paper crafts and there's some plain colors there like plain yellow you get 16 wooden buttons really lovely got that lovely fairy stamp now I'm just thinking did the dye cut that out but it's not it wouldn't cut that out because they are yeah she's smaller but still I love I'll be using my watercolors to color her in she's really really pretty and she's kind of catching the butterfly there then we've got these now I've been using this kind of butterfly for a long time so it was really nice to see this in a collection really and in different colors because I will probably still do what I always do and that's removed well that one's already come off there you go I prefer them like that because I just think that looks almost like I've got a real butterfly just sitting there on my hand isn't that gorgeous but you do then have that kind of holographic framed butterfly there as well so it's entirely up to you but that's how I will use them and you get eight there so really really nice okay can you see why I was so excited to receive all of this then we have got these so six A5 glitter cards now A5 I'm so pleased to see this in A5 because I make so many A5 cards this is brilliant so you get so two of each so two of the silver two of that beautiful rose gold and then two of the gold bear and again so much sparkle they're going to look wonderful with this collection squeeze that under there and then the one thing I just love doing and I was so excited to see it is the glittered decoupage pack now I know loads of you are going to be going yes because there's a lot of you that love using these as well I used the Hell's Couple Ditch Christmas Village one over Christmas I've used the beach life I've used the sweet moments I've used oh see there's loads I love them so again let's just snip very carefully that one and that one so you get 24 sheets three sheets of eight designs glitter effect die cut out already easily assemble acid free so let's see what lovely kind of scenes we've got made up here so we've got the butterfly for anybody new who's never seen decoupage because there's two forms of decoupage there's a decoupage where well decoupage is basically to layer on top of each other but there's decoupage where you cover like a box and you ripple your papers up and you use a lot of pva glue that's one form of decoupage the other form is this so you can see here these just pop out so that one will sit over there that one was set over the top and you put them all on foam adhesive so you just get this lovely dimension and this really nice topper and then that's pretty much ready to go just stick it down with a piece of paper from the paper pack some glitter paper there and put it onto a card base and they're just really quick cards but I love using them so that's that design then you've got this furry one loving wishes how cute they all are really really lovely then you've got one here again really really cute so that one says for a special friend then I love that one I've seen that one just for you isn't that gorgeous all that lovely like wreath effect there got the butterflies you got two well you got yeah two sentiments because you've obviously got the one that's already in there so just for you but you've also got thank you very much isn't that I love it I'm so easily pleased then this one beautiful have a magical day and you can mix and match as well so you don't have to have the sentiments with this you can change them up if you want to and then look at that one again I think that's one of my favorite images is these three little bottles and I love that it's it's got that beautiful butterfly background make a wish and you've got this one birthday wishes all these tiny little ones so these will all go with tiny little foam dimension pads on top of these here these four so there's so much detail in this it's gorgeous and then I think this is the last one with love and you've got that single fairy there and then all these lovely little details here so just follow your numbers and it will all it's very very easy to do and I will share when I come to do them I'll do the tutorial and show you how to put them together as well but look at that isn't that gorgeous so there you go guys I can't get everything in I'm just going to keep this here because as you can see there was a lot of product but I'm I kind of now have to put it all away and then go to it because right now my brain is buzzing I've got way too many ideas I don't know what to start with first I think I've got an idea but I'm going to wait so yes you will start to see me using this next week I will try and
