Snowman Loses His Hat

By on October 25, 2019 in Christmas, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new card to share with this cute Snowman image. I am using the October 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit in a new way…by altering the Interactive Die Cut to create a whole new look!

Watch as the wind takes his hat away!

This is a cute kit, and I have a video showing you just how I made it and how I changed up the look of that interactive die. Watch it below or on YouTube:

I love that you can change up this kit and die to make it what you want. I hope this inspired you to look at your dies in a whole new way!

Check out the other cards I’ve made using this same die: here and here.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by!

Haunted House Interactive Card

By on October 17, 2019 in Halloween, Paper Crafting

Hello there! Today I have a bit of a Haunted House issue…uh oh! I am using the interactive die from the Hedgehog Hollow October kit and some cute ghosts from a previous kit to create this haunted house.

Boo! The ghosts are coming out of the chimney!

Oh boy…there are ghosts in that chimney! I have all the details of how I built this card on the Hedgehog Hollow blog today…see it here.

I use the IRON OFF technique for that background spiderweb! First I stamped it with embossing ink and heat embossed clear embossing powder over the spider web. Then I blended on some Distress Oxides over the spider web. Once the ink was dry, I placed the panel on my ironing board, added a piece of plain computer paper over the top, and held the warm iron over it all for a few seconds. The computer paper absorbs the embossing powder and leaves the panel completely FLAT!

You might be asking…why did you want to remove the embossing powder? Well, I wanted to stamp that “BOO” over the top and needed a flat surface to add it. This allowed me to stamp in dark black ink. (I didn’t want a large sentiment strip on this card.)

Here’s what it looks like when you turn the dial…the ghosts pop up!

Isn’t that cool?! To put this card together, I attached the dial and arms with brads, then attached the full card base on the black card panel with foam tape. For a video tutorial of how to do this, check out my earlier video here.
