everyone welcome to hedgehog hollow
Hannah and I are here today to show you
the altenew our family scrapbooking
kit they could it is such a pretty box
we kind of wish they'd put the label on
the bottom there is some more
information about ultra knew on the
bottom there as well and different ways
you can connect for them they do also
include a coupon code for you to use
inside this box we have taken out and
for this but there is a coupon code that
included and then you can buy it as this
kit you can buy the individual element
so if there's something that really
catches your eye you can get that or you
can going to see a larger kit that
includes the embossing ink and embossing
powders and I'll link up there the video
that I did a comparison of embossing
inks they do have a really lovely ink
and the embossing powders come in
beautiful colors or link everything in
that description below for you just hit
that arrow that's just below where my
nail is now and that will bring up the
description with all of those links so
let's dive in and take a look so the
first thing we have our journaling cards
then this was meant as a scrapbook hip
you totally could make card out of it
and we'll be making some you have all
these kind of water colored pieces that
look really pretty on these journaling
cards so I'm just going to kind of
scroll through them loose pinks purples
corals really lovely color palette in
here and a mixture of vibrant and more
pastel things this all through this die
so you can see here it cuts a frame and
then it has these two lines here and box
so these dots here embossed and this
line here is in LA so this again it's a
really nice frame and to give you some
kind of idea of scale it would frame one
of those journaling cards perfectly or
maybe frame a picture all sorts of
things you could do with that also these
wooden elements that you can paint you
can alter you can do all sorts of things
again with them we you could use them
raw what we're going to have a go at
doing later and but again lots of
elements roses feathers leaves we've got
home hearts and stars in there as well
there's a roll of pink washi tape for
washi tape at it and they all turn you
do some really pretty washi tapes -
you've got a sheet here of enamel dots
so you've got pinks purples cornflower
blue teals
minty and it kind of goes into that
lighter greeny colour as well and then
in different sizes for me - and you have
to pop out pieces these are all die-cuts
you can see on the reverse they're easy
to pop out there's no fancy cutting
involved so this one here says love and
then once you've popped this out you can
use it as a stencil you don't just have
to use the letter keep those pieces
you've got life you've got tags
this one says smile this one here's XO X
oh we've got together here and you've
got some other tags this one has the
family tree the camera again those
triangles are all popped out for you the
flowers frames and another frame that
fits inside we have some more chipboard
elements so these again are all die-cut
you can see and they go through the
alphabet happens to have the second half
of the alphabet popped up and then
you've got some exclamations hashtags
all those fun things and you can see the
other half your alphabet is on the back
there also has these that you can add in
again with that wonderful watercolor
feel and these are also all the die-cuts
you literally just pop them out and put
them straight onto your items ready to
go
also a meme row stamp sets this is one
of their layered stamps so you have the
solid the slightly less and then the
extra details every family has a story
to tell
here's ours really pretty stamp set as I
mentioned if you'd like just one element
you can get that individually you don't
have to buy the whole box if you didn't
want to and then in here you have a set
of papers all papers are double-sided
and you get two of each sheet we have
actually turned these around on half so
you get to see every side
on the back at this time you've got the
gray dots which you'll see later so you
have those triangles that we saw earlier
you have stripes in kind of an ombre
shading you have stripes a check pattern
more watercolor beautiful circular kind
of wreath piece there that you could put
something really pretty in the middle
there lots and lots of ideas more
watercolor love this more the flower
spray is flowers with the dark
background pop beautifully more
watercolors and they're a really nice
weight of paper they're not too thin
they're more like a thin card so they
really going to stand up to anything you
might want to throw at them so I'll keep
kind of scrolling up here we have that
our family that you saw in that element
earlier I love this watercolor wood I
played tons and tons of that I can just
buy that sheet there's that second side
that I showed you earlier we've got
water more water color pieces something
in a thermal spectrum metric as well so
lots and lots of things in this kit huge
value in this case as I mentioned you
can buy things individually you can buy
this kit or there is an upgraded kit
that includes the embossing ink and the
embossing powders as well so we'll link
all those things in description but now
let's create a project so we've pulled
out a couple of elements to create a
really quick and simple card this is a
piece of watercolor paper and so this is
the texture side of the watercolor paper
and I have turned it over and I've
applied a thinner coat of gesso to it so
this is the heavy gesso in white and I
just dragged a brush across really tiny
amount I'm not sure how much detail you
can see but it kind of heaters out in
places and I did that because I want you
to create a little bit of texture and I
have here one of my stencil brushes I
have washed it out although the bristles
are kind of stained blue and I'm going
to use some of my old new inks to add a
touch of color so I'm going to pick out
my coral berry I think and my violet
here so let's start with those I'm a
little bit of blush underneath so I'm
just gonna pick up a little bit on to my
stencil brush
and I'm going to just start applying
some color this one is super super light
so let's try something a little bit
darker and these are also great if you
want to use that row stamp that's inside
of your kit so you can see you there
it's going to pick up a little bit of
the texture from my gesso and it just
adds that little bit of color in the
background and then I'm going to go even
deeper with some velvet and I just kind
of DAB my brush off to the side so I
don't have too much ink and I don't want
too much of that dark on the outside I
kind of want more of a strip in the
center there back to my lighter color
and I can blend those out and because
these are water-based I could add some
water and create different effects with
them as well I don't have to just leave
them like this but I just wanted some
base color down there and I kind of like
the thicker a little bit of red over
here I'm going to pop my lids back on
and then I'm going to use a little bit
of the hero arts black liquid watercolor
because that's what I had to hand and I
want to add some little ink splatters on
there so I grab this cute little fan
brush that I bought the other day that I
thought might be fun for adding ink
splatters on I'm going to pop a little
bit into that white area of my mat and
I'm gonna apply just a tiny little bit
of water to it as well from my spray
brush just to make it a bit thinner so
I'm gonna try picking up some more ink
so you can see here how it's adding just
some little droplets really nice and
fine because of those fine bristle tips
on there not the day that I should be
wearing a white shirt at all
I should say that Hannah is here I kind
of really nicely clearing up for me as
well as we're going I noticed that she
put the lids on her altar news wrong so
I'm fixing that - this is why you always
craft with a friend so I just kind of
added some little speckles in there and
I'm just gonna give this a second to dry
because I don't mean to smear that
around so just set this off to the side
I'm not going to use any heat or
anything on it I'm just gonna let this
air dry for maybe a minute or two so
whilst that's drying I cut out that
beautiful frame that you get in the kit
out of the altar new birch wood paper so
I lift this up and you can see they even
get all of those embossed lines on that
paper
you can probably also hear they're
relaying our Road outside we waited all
day to do this video and now they choose
the time and like five o'clock to come
and lay it but it means that you also
get when you cut out the middle piece
there as well and that also has a really
pretty beveled edge so if you cut your
photograph out you'd have a gorgeous
bevel edged in there as well so I want
to add a little bit of color and texture
to our birch wood so I've browned my
black soot distress oxide and I'm just
going to really lightly drag it across
in different directions because I kind
of wanted it to look like had rubbed
acrylic paint into it the credit paint
just didn't really pull out that
delicateness of the birch wood so I'm
just this is such a light touch that I'm
using here and it means I got to get
different areas
I just wanted to tie all that black
together and it also picks up those
beautiful embossed pieces and I'm
working on a piece of press'n seal
because I'm going to work with a white
part blank next so all I have to do is
throughout my presses feel and my glass
mat is perfectly clean and I'm a lazy
crafter so I don't want to have to go
and clear it up between things and so
I've already pre-cut a piece of black
cardstock this is a Neenah card base
half a table 11
scored at five and a half and then this
matching piece of black is four by five
and a quarter inches and I'm going to
stick that on and I'm using the ultra
new double sided tape runners these give
you more of like the blue dot style tape
runner it is really nice to work with I
do have some spares so you can just this
piece I always feel like it almost has
some kind of magnet in it because it
really kind of clips backwards and
forwards you just literally go like this
they come in packs of three they are
refillable as well I'll show you on the
one that's now empty this piece just
pops out and you pop a new piece back in
there the actual external pieces come in
packs of three I don't think you can buy
them individually but again they're just
a really nice tape runner I have lots of
different tape runners that I'm kind of
happy with and depending on the project
really depends on which one I go for and
you can see it has a slightly blue tinge
so I wouldn't be using this one with
vellum because you would see that blue
underneath this is that panel we created
you can decide what your top and bottom
is and I think I kind of like it on the
left so I'm going to pop this down with
that left piece I'm going to offer it up
with our frame so gonna try just the
plain and then a stakes happen to us too
even though we craft all the time our
home we've got it stuck to something and
it kind of came apart so there is sticky
on the back though which we didn't
realize with these elements were that
they had sticky on the back so that kind
of works out quite nicely which means
it's going to stick nicely back together
and that tear was underneath so again
you're not gonna see that my home
two pieces and I'm going to stick this
down I'm just going to use my regular
tape runner you could use foam but I
kind of feel the chipboard has enough
don't mention in there the oxide is a
pigment ink so it's going to take a
little bit longer to dry which is why
you can see they've got on here
I will just allow it to air dry and I'm
trying not to spread it around too much
it's going to wait on the hand off and
then just to finish this off I'm going
to use a couple of these enamel dots
just to add that little bit at the end
and I'm going to go into a different
color rather than trying to match the
pleats and things so I'm going to pick
out a be a dark blue in the large and
again these have adhesive on the back so
this works really nicely and maybe and
this is the great thing by having it on
this panel here you can offer up where
you want it to be see if you like the
color what size you'd like nails do not
help I just kind of gives it that
finishing touch on there so a really
quick and simple card using your ultra
new scrapbook hit and caught can of
course make scrapbook pages as well but

so once the quickly mention that after I
had pressed off I actually preferred it
without that frame on and so you know
that they look black I hope here I
literally just added a little bit of
water onto my finger and then just
rubbed it away because distress box
Hailey's water reactive you can see
there that it's pretty much gone and it
just looks like it's part of these other
spots are there so that is my finished
