hi welcome to Hedgehog Hollow I'm so excited to be here finally doing some
front on videos in my new room we're still working on the backdrops you'll
see some changes come along in future videos but today I'm here as part of
heavy dual or release number three for a wonderful blog cut with some mazing
crafty girls I'm using the new lucky friends there which is a good lucks and
patrick's day kind of set and we're going to be making an interactive card
of a leprechaun that jumps along our rainbow is so cute and it's really
simple to do I'm excited to show you how to make your own interactive card so
let's get started
so today I'm using the lucky friend stamp set from the new Heaphy doodle
release once its release is also going to be some coordinating dies that we've
got a preview of at creative ation and this guy here when you cut him out his
hands can hold this horseshoe the gold the beer the coins all these really cool
things in there so check those dyes out as well I'll make sure I link those in
the description for you too there are also some great words that go with this
release Leslie gave me this a creative Asian because the shipping time to the
US and I was super excited to use it so check out the rest of the release it's
really cute and Easter sets in there there's some lovely mice that I'm
looking forward to getting and some great new dyes as well including some
interactive dyes and also some words are in there too that are all hand lettered
by Leslie so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to be coloring in my
pieces now I cut these out using my scan and cut because I didn't have the dyes
for those but as I say you really do want to try and get the dyes because
this is really cute and I'm looking forward to mine
arriving coloring wise today I'm using my new bow markers and I have these in
this wonderful Nouveau piece it has a little feet on the bottom there and
these Nuvo pen are great value they're alcohol-based markers and you can buy
them in color sets you get three greens through yellows through oranges however
you want to buy I have them all here I have lost one of my yellow so I'm going
to have to replace that one but they're great you get blended in there there's
blacks there's metallics and this is just some temporary taupe this is tombow
removable adhesive whenever I'm coloring something that I've pre-cut out I just
put some of that adhesive on the back there try a little bit more there and
you always want to color with alcohol markers on a porous background so this
is just a piece of white printer paper so I'm going to stick these onto and
this just means that they won't move around while I'm coloring them so that
makes that so much easier I'm gonna start off by using my greens so here you
have this is the woodland greens I stick some labels on the side just because I
do videos and things and I want to always remember what they're called so
these are my three green shades so I have a four one three or four one five
and a four one seven here and so I have a light to dark and I'm going to just
work through like with any alcohol markers I'm also going
to be using my supreme metallics this is the gold which will go onto his hat I've
got a couple of yellows as I say I have lost one of my yellows here but I'll be
using the sunshine yellows I've got my blenders and then there's also a really
nice fair skin tones which are going to be perfect for his legs and his face and
things in there so I'm going to get coloring I'll play some nice music now
and you can see how he comes together
so the next thing we want to do is build our rainbow and I've already pre-cut
from the lawn fawn rainbow cardstock see my favorite things end of the rainbow
that I had in my stash and this is a great ring with those some other
rainbows out there that I really like there's a lawn fawn one I do have
another my favorite things one but this one was perfect so this is what I had in
my stash so I'm going to be using this one so the first thing we're going to do
is peel off the backing layer of this double-sided adhesive so peel that one
off and then that allows us to start assembling our rainbow and we can then
work out where we want to put it this stuff is super super sticky so I don't
know about you but I always say it the song in my mind so we've got the red
we'll go first so I'm just going to pop the red down on here and then I'll have
the yellow or meet up with it
I'll have our yellow make sure that meets up nicely I didn't do any paint
because you only get six slots so I'm going to move straight on to my green
and then purple
and then orange
and now the balloon now I've arranged these so that I'm going to give them a
straight end when you look at this they actually come to a V but this is going
to work better for the card design that we're using so I have my tonic scissors
these are the Tim Holtz's they're a nonstick scissors so they work really
nicely if you're using things like double-sided adhesive and I'm going to
just trim these straight across because that's how it's going to work for our
pot of gold and then I'm just going around here now the other thing I'm
going to do so I have a little some pieces left here so I'm going to snip
one at this end and you'll see how it just scissors come clean off which is
exactly what we want so these two pieces are not going to go to waste
I'm going to now just lay another one on here and make sure that they all meet up
and I'm going to use the same on this one here but I'm also before I cut it
down I'm just going to turn it over so I can make sure they all go together
nicely so it will be a little bit forgiving this Elizabeth craft adhesive
is super strong but it does give you a little bit of wiggle room so if you
don't press it down it won't stick fully until you're ready so as I lay those in
I'll press it in and there we have our rainbow so I'm gonna put that to the
side well we now assemble that interactive element so now we're ready
to do our assembly we have our finished rainbow here I just trimmed that addi
civ so that it's all nicely together on the back there we also have our little
pot of gold here I've pre-cut my pieces from some lawn fawn dyes these are
called outside in stitch scarlet rectangle stackables and they will be in
the description below for you as well I cut one in the white which is going to
be my inside and then I cut one in the same as she does different green it's
called noble fir but it's a really nice and Patrick screen which is going to go
on the outside there as well so to do this next step I have my pot of gold
I've actually put a little slit in there so
you can see there there's a slip and for that the slit is there so that we can
put our rainbow inside and I have a piece of foam on there to give me the
depth of where it's going to be and I'm now are going to align this at the same
time I have my slide on over he's from non-phone which is going to be
our interactive element now there's going to be slide on over semi circles
and if you're part of the Hedgehog Hollow subscription box these the new
ones are going to be in there these are the older ones they're slightly
different so my pot of gold is going to go somewhere in the middle bottom down
here and then I'll slide on over circle is going to go next to it like this so
the first thing I'm going to do is grab some of my Tamiya tape this is my
favorite tape for die-cutting it's a really nice low tuck tape so I'm going
to put that in place first and then the next thing I'm going to work out is I'm
going to grab this back again which is my piece here and I'm going to just trim
those little metal pieces off of there these are my favorite little wire
cutters I'm just doing this over the bins so that they go straight and you
can also take some sanding paper and cut those off but I find that just those
tall nodules are fine on that now the next thing you're going to do is you're
going to position your rainbow where you want it to be and then you're going to
put this back over the top and what you'll do is you'll feel it clicks into
place so I'm just moving mine over so I can feel that that's not really moving
it's clicked into the same place I'm going to work out when my rainbow wants
to be round about here and this is where you could almost do with a couple of
hands I'm going to grab some tape so it's ready to go to get on my hand there
just feel that click back in there we go a rainbow in place
and then I'm going to stick this on here and I'm going to run these through my
Gemini machine so I'm going to run the rainbow through on here and I'm going to
run my slide on over here that means my rainbow is going to match up perfectly
here and my slide on over circles going to be there for our interactive element
so if you haven't seen me use my Gemini machine before I have the Gemini junior
and it stays on my desk I absolutely love it so I'm going to turn this over
your sandwich is actually upside down with the Gemini so it's Di's facing up
and I'm going to make sure they don't overlap which is possible and then what
happens when you get this into the Gemini you're here I'm not pressing any
buttons I've got one hand here and the other hands over here it hooks it in so
it's pulling that through now and once it comes out the other side we're all
done so it puts a nice amount of pressure on there so even with all that
thickness and the adhesive paper on there it's cut through so easily which
is amazing and I'm going to just gently pull this up peel that tape off on the
other side so I've got that scholar to edge which is going to match up
perfectly on my frame and those stitches and then on this one here we have that
interactive element on that so let's now start assembling the pop
all these pieces out the way this is just my little cutting board that I use
to cut my slit in but I'm going to leave it here for now so the next thing we
want to do is put this the other way up like this we're going to put some foam
on the back of this piece here and to do that I'm going to first of all peel off
the Elizabeth craft adhesive
try and catch an edge there we go this so we're going to slop this through that
little hole and before I press anything down I'm going to line it up with this
corner let's press it down I'm going to take that foam off the back of my thing
it's just my scotch 3m tape there and the reason I popped this up is just cuz
otherwise it's a little bit bulky and you don't get the best of dzn so I'm
going to do that and I'm gonna stick my pot of gold down so our leprechaun is
going to ride down our rainbow like this that's how he's going to go so now we're
next we're ready to build our slider pieces now I just grabbed some coins out
my drawer I have a British 20 pence piece that happened to be sitting in the
drawer an American penny works you can use a dime you can use five cents I
wouldn't use anything too big these are a nice size british five pence euro 5
cents those kinds of things so something around this kind of size will work
perfectly and the first thing I want to do is put your penny behind the biggest
thing is you want something that has room on either side to be underneath
because you don't want it to come through that slit and the next thing
I've got is my foam tape so this is my big roll of tape I have cut a piece
actually into thirds I use one on my sample to make sure it would work and
you just want to do that I cut it with the tonic scissors those little ones you
saw me earlier and they're nonstick so you can just cut through it and nothing
is going to get all stuck if you use a pair of regular scissors you may find
that it gets stuck oh I've dropped that piece here it is my lap so I like to do
double because I just feel that that extra little bit of depth you can use
the stamping up things that I often use and you'll see I've used those on a
piece in a second but I'm going to just do this double I like having something a
little bit thinner I find that it just goes through that groove in the best way
this I've played with lots of different ideas and this by far was the easiest
way to go like this now before I stick everything
in place I'm going to just peel this out and you want to grab your palette all so
this is the one that I use for heat embossing if you don't have this news
have the buddy run that in there but you want to run it on both sides and you
also want to just run it on these sides just on the side of that adhesive don't
get it on the top and should really have left my piece on but I got ahead of
myself a little bit so again we're going to just pop that slit over then you want
to grab your leprechaun and I love how he came out I think that's so cute
I may even add some glossy elements to him shortly but the next thing we want
to do is you want to work out how he's going to go so do you want him to go on
the angle up and down you might want him to be straight up and down I'm gonna go
mine on the angle because I think that looks kind of cute like this so you can
see here I can just move this and he is going to ride up and down so make sure
you've got enough clearance on there if you need to alter anything you want to
be able to do that now the next thing we're going to do is I already have a
set to you my green frame pre-cut and I actually added some strips of foam onto
the back of that this is a slightly thicker foam that I have on the back I
have a card base Neenah solar white just a two size and so I'm going to peel off
these adhesive pieces and this is slightly thicker so it'll give me some
extra dimension to my piece here and I'm going to Center this up first of all
like so so there's that done and now we're ready to stick our leprechaun down
but I do have a few tips for you so you need to make sure you can still move him
like this you can see that move nice and freely but down here you're going to
want to some thinner pieces of foam so that thin extra piece of foam I had put
your penny in place and or whatever coin you're using and stick your foam down
then you can just go back and use regular foam pieces I like to cut off a
long piece and anything extra I actually stick on the edge there
so we're going to stick this here I'm going to move this up here so that I
make sure plenty of room in there I'll have a piece in the middle make sure it
doesn't go up too high so just move your penny around and make sure that once
you've got all those foam pieces on there there's still plenty of clearance
on there again I'm going to do the same thing at the bottom I'm going to move my
leprechaun all the way down he's got stuck some ways foot got stuck
but I'm going to make sure I have enough room for that piece of foam just for
extra I'm gonna pop that up there so once you have all these pieces peel off
your back turn him around and then he will fit perfectly inside of your frame
which is why we cut that rainbow so I'm going to poke him in and then I'm just
going to use the point on these scissors just to make sure these points go in
here so I have another piece here of the Neenah solar white that I stamped on
here and this phrase are some great phrases in the heavy Doodle set let me
just grab it here so you've got happy Saint Patrick's Day
you're my lucky charm there's clovers you can put lucky on there more than
silver and gold so so many different ways that you can use it doesn't just
have to be as some patrick's day set at all and whenever i use a sentiment
that's a photopolymer i pop it on my table like this I'd let me move it up so
you can see better and then I take my block and I pick it up that means I'm
gonna get a nice straight sentiment if I want a curved sentiment that's great
but if you want a perfectly straight one that's the way to go I'm using the same
lawn fawn jet black that I stamped the images out that I colored in this one is
designed to work with alcohol markers and it really does so nicely now also in
this new release you'll see that Leslie has put in these great sentiment oops we
lost you well some great sentiment dies in there and the idea is that you
whenever we try and cut these pieces it's really hard to try and get them
straight so she's put these dies in stitched options and
just regular options really excited to get those as I say we didn't manage to
get the dies to the US in time for this release but they will be linked up
underneath this video for you so you can check those out they are now here and
I'm making this card so if you are new to the holo welcome first of all I'm
making this car for my husband who we refer to as mr. Hedgehog hallo he is
going to England next week to defend his PhD so we're hoping that when he comes
back he will be a doctor of engineering and he's been doing his PhD part-time on
top of his full-time job for four years and we just submitted his thesis on tire
engineering so a little bit it's something a little bit different but I'm
going to be sending this card with him while he goes to defend his ph.d so I'm
just going round and I'm cutting this out you can see how fiddly that was to
try and get it straight well once we have Lesley's dies that will be no more
so I'm not a secondly other thing I want to do is make it like it's raining a
little bit as well so this is the new vogue litter market involved let me show
you how it comes out there's going to be a crow painted in the gold like this but
I'm just going to be adding some little flecks of gold it's got some great
sparkle in it you can also use these on black so it looks like it's raining gold
you can see there so let's just add a few up here for when he's down a little
bit further and I love a nice spotty background too so you can see there how
that looks you could also add paint flakes if you wanted to but he is going
to sit in there perfectly I'm going to put him there
because I don't want any extra depth because otherwise our guy is not going
to jump over our ether so there we have it thanks so much for joining me as part
of the heavy Doodle released 3 don't forget to check out all the other girls
