Hey friends, so I just wanted to show up here quickly to share something super super super
super exciting with all of you! If you saw my new bullet journal setup video then you will have been
slightly spoiled for this but if you didn't or even if you did this video is my chance to
share with you the whole collaboration that I've created with Archer and Olive! Without further ado,
let's talk about what is included in my collab! So obviously one item has already been spoiled
for you if you watched my new bullet journal setup video a couple weeks back
this is one of the notebooks I designed. So this is the sunset notebook (I drew the emblem myself
on my ipad) and this is a really beautiful sort of terracotta orange color to really evoke that
feeling of a sunset, and I've been dreaming about a beautiful terracotta orange notebook from archer
and olive for literal years now so when I tell you how excited I was to get my hands on this notebook
there are not words to describe it. So the sunset notebook only comes in B5 size which is the size
that I prefer. It's larger than A5 size (I'll put the measurement differences on the screen here)
but this one only comes in B5 size so just keep that in mind. But along with the other
notebook design it does come in two different cover options. So there is this beautiful
terracotta orange cloth but there's also a vegan leather option which I'll show you in a minute
but before I do that I did want to briefly talk about the inspiration for this particular design
so let me grab the other notebook from archer and olives permanent collection that was kind of the
inspiration for this. So y'all might recognize this notebook this Archer and Olive's morning sun
notebook which has been in their lineup for a while, excuse the cat hair on it, and this
is my reading journal that I'm currently using. And I love this notebook. I love the warm yellow,
I love the sun on the front it's so simple and beautiful, and I really wanted to create
a companion for the morning sun notebook which is why I wanted to create the sunset notebook! So
I really feel like these go so nicely together the orange and the dark yellow morning sun and
evening sun/sunset and that was really sort of the impetus to create this notebook so hopefully y'all
see the vision and also love it as much as I do! So just like every notebook from Archer and
Olive it has all the basics. They are white dot grid notebooks with 160 gsm paper, they have two
bookmarks (one of which has the little ampersand charm on it), they have a pen loop, and they also
have a back pocket as well as the elastic closure. So this is the sunset notebook with the cloth
cover option, but like I said, even though the sunset notebook only comes in B5 size it does
come in another cover option. So it also comes in vegan leather and this is the vegan leather cover!
We decided to not match the exact color just to give more options, especially for people who maybe
would want to get both and not have an identical notebook with different cover materials. As you
can see in this version the sunset is actually completely filled in, again just for something
a little different, and this cover is darker/less saturated, leaning more towards brown than orange
which is good for anyone out there who's not an orange fan. I'm obsessed with orange, I adore it, but
I know not everyone loves orange so if you love the idea of a sunset notebook but you're not an
orange person necessarily this may be the solution for you! Again the sunset notebooks only come in B5
size but you can either get it with the leather cover or the cloth cover. So that is the sunset
notebook, but wait, there's more! So there's actually one other notebook design which again comes in two
cover options, cloth and vegan leather, and this one actually comes in two size options as well
(A5 and B5). So this is the olive notebook and if you all know me, I mean the sweater I'm
wearing right now, I am a big fan of green, and my favorite shade of green is olive green. It's just
chef's kiss, so good, and this is the perfect shade of olive green. I love this so much! So this one
has an olive branch on the front. Again, I drew this myself on my iPad, and I just love the symbolism of
an olive branch notebook. Obviously the olive branch is a symbol of peace and compromise, coming
together and uniting for the greater good, and olives are also just delicious! So I really wanted
to do this notebook and I love how it turned out! So this is the cloth version of the olive notebook
and as I said, it comes in A5 size (which is the sort of most commonly used size for notebooks) and
it also comes in B5 (which is my preferred size) so you can get either or, whichever one works better
for you! Just like the sunset notebook the olive branch notebook comes in a second cover option
the vegan leather. So this is the vegan leather option, again, just like the sunset notebook,
it is a darker color that's a little cooler-toned. So again, if you're not an olive green person but
you like the design, this gives you another option. It's more of a dark forest green versus the olive
green and again it's that vegan leather cover so if you're not really a cloth cover person
you can get vegan leather, if you don't like vegan leather you can get the cloth... options for
everybody! And again both the vegan leather and the cloth version of the olive branch notebook comes
in both the A5 and B5 size, so this one actually comes in four different options I guess! So just
to show you them together this is the sunset and olive notebook in the cloth cover together.
So good! And then these are the vegan leather covers together, the olive branch and the sunset.
Obsessed. Obsessed! I'm so excited! I'm so excited to be sharing these with you (finally!) it feels
like it's been a century since we started working on these... it's only been a year but it feels like
century... So I hope at least one of these notebooks appeals to you and that you're as excited about
them as I am! And there's one more item in this collaboration that I want to share with
you which is a set of five acrylographs! So very excited about these. These are the acrylographs!
This is the same gold acrylograph that's come in a couple sets now, so if you've tried that
or seen swatches of that then you know this gold colour. We also have rust which is just the perfect
dark reddish-orange... just... I love rust and this is the perfect rust. I'm so happy with how it turned
out! I love using green in my art, in my bullet journal setups, and while the acrylographs
have quite a few shades of green already, most of those greens are either really light bright shades
or are cooler toned. And again, I am a warm-toned person. Love my warm tones! So I really wanted to
have a dark olive colour, this is picholine. It is in a similar family to the olive green in the
jewel collection so if you like that shade this one is in that same family, but it's a nice dark
rich olive green. Then we have two more true greens but they are definitely on the warmer
side rather than the cooler side (they don't pull teal or blue-ish at all). So there's the midtone
green which is fern, and then we also have the dark green which is evergreen, and I am so so so
excited about these shades! I have been on Archer and Olive's back since the acrylographs launched,
constantly telling them that we needed more greens, and they kept releasing greens in collections
that were not the greens that I wanted! (Not to say that they weren't beautiful greens, because they
certainly were, but they weren't the greens that I had in my mind!) So when we started working on
this collaboration they were like "Okay, Elizabeth, here you go, create the greens you wanted, we know
that you've been waiting! Make those greens." and I have made those greens. I'm so happy with how
these turned out and of course including that rusty red color to tie everything together and
of course, gold, because it's me. Could not curate a set without the gold! So the gold as I mentioned
is the same gold that's been in a couple sets now but all four of the other colors are brand new.
I picked out the colors, I found the pantone shades, I tested them, we adjusted them,
and they don't exist in any other set! So if you love green and rust and gold as much as I do
this is going to be your set! And these are the 0.7 mm nibs, which is the finer nib. I find
those are definitely the most versatile because you can use them for finer details and lettering
as well as filling in larger areas if you need to. So super excited about the acrylographs as well! Now, if
you're as excited about this collaboration as I am you're probably going to want to know details for
how much things cost, how do you buy them, when are they launching, all of the things, so I'm going to
put those on the screen now! All the information you need to know. If you have more questions,
if something's not clear, if you want to see a detailed shot of something, leave those in the
comments down below. I am so happy to talk about this collaboration for days and days because I'm
so excited about it! I really hope that you love these notebooks and acrylographs as much as I do.
They're even more beautiful than I imagined them and I'm so excited to send them out into the
world and to see some of you using them! Please tag me if you buy something, if you're using one
of my notebooks or acrylographs, I am so so excited to see what all of you do with them
and how you incorporate them into your lives! Anyways, before I get too rambly and emotional
over this I just want to say thank you all so much for supporting me, for being such an amazing
community, and encouraging me to step out of the box and be creative and grow into an artist, which
I never would have called myself an artist, I felt really uncomfortable calling myself an
artist for a long time, but I feel like all of you have just been so wonderful and supportive
and have given me the confidence to try new things and to put myself out there. And having this
community has really changed my life in so many incredible ways and I'm so grateful for all of you.
And I just hope that this is the kind of collaboration that you would want to see from me
because I am really really proud of how it turned. out. So I'm gonna stop now, this was my full reveal
of my collaboration with Archer and Olive. I hope hope that you love it! Let me know in the comments
down below which of the notebooks is your favourite and which of the acrylographs is your favourite. I'm
really curious to know! And oh, one more thing, of course if you're shopping my collaboration you can
use my discount code pbb10 for 10% off, and that's an affiliate code meaning that I make a commission
off your purchase. I also make a percentage off of the sale of every notebook whether you use
my affiliate code or not because I helped to create them, so I want to be upfront about that
I am making money off of this. Which, you know, is a good thing because we want creative people (and all
people) to make money off of their labour. So yay for Archer and Olive being an awesome company! And that's it, I'm
gonna go, thank you so much for hanging out with me, thank you for supporting me always and being
the best community ever, and i will see you very soon somewhere on the internet. Bye friends!
