    Thanks for sharing. I had watched the Sizzix video of how this die set is put together but, they are always a bit robotic. So much better to see all of the different colour options explained. Your tips are very down-to-earth and practical. You are an excellent teacher.

    Thank you so much. I bought this last year (too late for Christmas) but I am enjoying it so much, thanks to your detailed instructions. I don't think I would have figured it out without your video. You have made this so easy. Once you explained it, it made so much sense.

      So happy I could be of assistance! I had been wanting to buy a nutcracker die for a long time. None seemed quite right...that is until Harvey. Hope you do make yourself some Harvey's and really enjoy them. He is so cute. Thanks for your kind words and for responding.

    @diannes9935 2 года назад +5

    I watched Tim's live on Saturday and he considers what I think looks like a mouth, to be the nose of Harvey. I ordered this die and am so looking forward to making many of them. Thanks for the informative video!

    • @lifeofcrafting247
      @lifeofcrafting247  2 года назад

      Thanks for watching. After watching his video and he said that was a nose, I was like YIKES! Weirdest looking nose yet. LOL Thanks for the kind words. Hope you make lots of lovely Harvey projects!

    I've got to give you a big thank you for this video. I've made 3 soldiers so far, and the experience has been so easy because you did all the hard parts. I'm using the same color scheme as you because I have all the same solid papers. The soldiers are soooo cute. I haven't done the cheeks yet but other than that, I have 3 stunning soldiers.

    This is very helpful. I got my Sharpie out and wrote things like "base shirt" and "undershirt" on the backs of some of the pieces. Using colors as labels wasn't working for me! Your toy soldiers match the paper you're using beautifully!

    Very helpful. I received my Harvey die yesterday - and just opened the package and looked at all of those dies... And put them back in the package. Sigh. You have done a great job of helping me better understand how to put him together. Will get those re-purposed muffin tins ready to hold the different parts. Cannot imagine taking on 48 of these guys... WOW! I think I will aim for creating 6 and see how it goes. Thanks for the video.

    • @lifeofcrafting247
      @lifeofcrafting247  2 года назад

  • @barbarahill6365
    @barbarahill6365 2 года назад +2

    Eppalets probably misspelled are the thing on the shoulder. Spats are on the shoe. Bandoleer? The cross on the front of Harvey.

    • @katkards456
      @katkards456 2 года назад

      Not a big deal - but the shoulder pieces on the uniform are epaulets. ; ) Tim is making us learn the parts of a uniform!

    Hi Kristin! So nice to meet you! These are adorable! I find all the lettering and numbering mind numbing! I cut them all out in watercolor paper and color them, so much easier for me. I love the colors you chose! Looking forward to watching more videos! Big hugs and blessings!

    • @lifeofcrafting247
      @lifeofcrafting247  2 года назад

    I used Harvey this year but only one per card since I sent out 42 cards. I used double sided adhesive on cardstock before cutting so each were stickers. Cut all pieces except eyes n mouth since they tend to stick in the die. I chose to use adhesive backed felt for hat so had to cut black chin pieces separately. For many of the eyes I decided to use black Nuvo drops (took less time) so they had a sparkle. I also use Nuvo drops for animal eyes (learned from Jennifer McQuire years ago. Like your colors you chose. I did blue this yr. Will do greens next and red the last yr.

  • @dinacarroll9211
    @dinacarroll9211 Год назад

    Great video. Very helpful. I do have a question though, do you think the color and #’s on the back are the different shades? Like the shoes the grays being lighter and darker shades of gray. In the end, it doesn’t matter as we can cut it in any color we want.

  • @marshmellowtwist
    @marshmellowtwist 2 года назад +1

    I ordered this set because of your video. May I ask where you got that Fa La La paper. The colors you chose for those soldiers are lovely. I realize what that paper is now. It's the Recollections paper I couldn't find last year.

    • @lifeofcrafting247
      @lifeofcrafting247  2 года назад +1

      :) The Recollections paper is called, Sugar Plum. I think it's older, like 2017-2019 era. I couldn't find one being sold anywhere. I have an upcoming series with this paper and couldn't find one place with it available. Sorry. Hope you make lots of little Harveys and some awesome projects. Have a wonderful season!

    It’s a great die. I’m having so much fun with it. So very appropriate for the Queens passing. 🇬🇧 My Christmas cards are having Queens guards on them. The nose looks too much like a mouth as it is. So I just use the little piece that drops out and I think it looks a lot better. Noses should stick out not indent. 😂

    • @lifeofcrafting247
      @lifeofcrafting247  2 года назад

      I totally agree on the nose. :) I've loved what I've seen with Harvey as a Brit. Love to see what your cards look like. Thanks for the comment and watching my video.
