Art Impressions Vintage Christmas Wreath Card

September 29, 2021 September 29, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , No Comment

Hello Ai Fans!!!

For todays card and video I’m excited to show you this elegant vintage Christmas Wreath Card! This was created using the Christmas Wreath Set (4791). This is just such a beautiful wreath set which includes a lovely bow, sentiment and holly/berry sprig! We will be using all of the elements of this stamp set for this card today!

I will show you how to easily create this archway shaped card! To add some dimension we will be using a 3-D Textured Embossing Folder and we will stack up several of the bows for some nice visual interest!

To give this card a vintage vibe, we will add some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink. For even more dimension we will add some Crystal Glaze to the little berries in our wreath!

We will also finish the inside of the card by adding another archway and decorating it with the holly and berry sprigs and we will stamp the “Merry Christmas” sentiment with some Red Geranium ink!!!

Watch the video tutorial here!

Hello Ai Fans!!!

In today’s video and card we will be creating a fun birthday scene using the cutest little owl from the Lovable Animals Set (5219). To create the background we will start by creating a tree for our owl by using a Woodgrain die and some distress inks!

To set the remainder of the scene we will create a circle opening for our owl to peek out of and a colorful birthday border of presents and flowers! And for a sweet sentiment we will use the Birdhouse Cubbies Set (5346) which says “It’s your Bird-Day, just wing it”.

The coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens…and I will list all of those colors below.

For a finishing touch we will add a few gems to each of those flowers for extra texture and dimensions! These pretty gems just make this card pop!!!

Hello Ai Fans!!!

If you are looking for a fun twist on a traditional shaker card you are going to love this edge-to-edge shaker card design! In today’s video and card we will be using the adorable images from the Graduation Set (5277) to create this fun card.

I’ll show you step by step on how to create this design….and it is so easy! But beware….you will become addicted to these fun shakers!

We will also be creating a watercolor resist background with our Reactive Ink Pads and we will color in the images with our Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens.

This card was inspired by the current Blog Challenge which is called “Shaken, not stirred!”. The challenge is to include a drink in your card…any kind of drink will do…lemonade, coffee, hot cocoa, or a glass of wine like I did!

September 6, 2021 September 6, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , No Comment

Hello Ai Fans!!!

Today I am so excited to show you the brand new “Hug in a Mug” stamp set!

This stamp set was created for Simon Says Stamp for the “STAMPtember” celebration! This is a limited edition set and will be available through Simon Says Stamp. If you love this set….and can’t live without it….then be sure to order it right away so that you don’t miss out!

To set the scene for todays card and video I have created a wintery evening backdrop! In order to do this I used the lamp posts from the Ai Christmas Wonder Set (4936) and my Distress Oxide Inks to create the reflection of light along my little pathway. I’ll show you how to quickly and easily create this light effect with your foam applicators and sponge daubers.

To do our coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens! We will also add an easel to the back of this card creation so that the recipient can easily display it for the holidays!

And for a finishing touch, we will add a cute sentiment from this same set and a few little red hearts for added dimension and sparkle!

Take a look at some of the other stamps and dies that you may already have to change the look of your pop-up boxes.

The coloring on our little critters will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and the backgrounds will be done using the beautiful Hero Hues Reactive Ink Pads. We will also incorporate in a little bit of the wonderful papers from the Watercolor Wishes Petite Paper Pack!
