Tim Holtz 3D Snowflake Gift Card Holder

December 24, 2021 December 24, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

In todays video we will be creating some fun dimensional gift card holders! To do this, we will be using the Tim Holtz Stitched Slots Die, which is really meant to be used on your scrapbook or journaling pages. It is a great way to display a collection of tickets, photos or other ephemera. I must admit that I have had this die in my collection for quite some time and have never used it. So every now and again I like to look through my dies and use a die set that I have never used before. As I was looking at this set I thought it would be perfect for some holiday gift card holders! I will show you how to create a simple pocket for your slot die!

The beautiful snowflake is a Tim Holtz 3D Impresslits Embossing Folder. This folder not only embosses the image but also die cuts it at the same time! We will be adding some beautiful foiling to the snowflakes with just a glue pen and some Deco Foil. This is a great technique for those of you who don’t have a foiling machine and for those who just want to do some foiling in a specific area. No heat is required for this foiling technique!

We will also be doing some fun stenciling using the Tim Holtz Layering Stencils. These stencils will allow us to use two different colors for our stripes and dots. These are lots of fun to use!!!

We will add a handle for our gift card pocket using some pretty tinsel! Let’s add a few sparkly gems to finish off this project!

Hello and Welcome!

In todays video we will be creating an elegant 3D Cathedral Window Ornament! We will be using the Tim Holtz Sizzix BIGZ Cathedral Window steel rule die! This elegant window will set the scene for our vintage Christmas ornament. The little scene will include a beautiful fireplace, Christmas tree, stockings, presents, and glittery tinsel garland! All of these elements will come from a collection of Tim Holtz Die Sets which are listed and linked below.

We will add a snowy texture using some texture paste and some icicles to give it an even more wintery look! We will add a lovely wreath, a cute sentiment, velvet ribbon and a jingle bell for added interest and dimension!

This could easily be made into a shaker ornament if you prefer or just simply be attached to a card. Just have fun with this window by adding whatever you like to your little scene!

Elegant Sizzix 3D Poinsettia Card

December 18, 2021 December 18, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

In todays video we will create this elegant card with a very dimensional poinsettia! This beautiful flower is from the Sizzix 3D Impresslits Embossing Folder! This embossing folder not only embosses the flower but also die cuts it at the same time! And….the embossing is extremely dimensional and detailed!

We will die cut this poinsettia from a pretty pink Metallic Confections Kraft-Stock from the Tim Holtz idea-ology collection. We will also emboss the card itself using the Spellbinders Detailed “Forevergreen” Embossing Folder. The beautiful pine branches on this folder will perfectly set the scene for this holiday card.

To pull this card together, we will be using the DCWV 6×6 Paper Pack in Frosted Peppermint. This paper pack is filled with lovely papers in soft pinks and reds and also includes some beautiful metallic papers as well.

We will add a large elegant sentiment and some greenery on the front and inside of the card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Merry and Bright Die Set.

For a finishing touch, we will add some sparkly gems from the Pinkfresh Studios Essentials Jewel Mix!

Art Impressions Snowman Flip-Flop Card w/ Pastels

December 15, 2021 December 15, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

I’ve got a really fun Flip-Flop winter card to show you in todays video!

We will be using the Snowman Pop-ups Set (5358) a little bit differently today. Rather than making the pop-up for the inside of our card we will use the stamp and the die to create this flip-flop card! I will provide you with step-by-step instructions on cutting this die in order to create the flip-flop mechanism. And….I’ll show you why this particular die makes creating this style of card even easier!!!

The coloring will be done using the beautiful Palette Pastels from the Jane Davenport collection. I’ll show you some easy blending and shadowing techniques.

To create the beautiful snowflakes we will be using the Lg Snowflake Dies (5353) and we will be cutting them out of some beautiful sparkly glitter cardstock!

If you love this little snowman and you want to see how it is used to create the pop-up feature then please click here to watch the Art Impressions Snowman Pop-up Card.

Then we will add some beautiful greenery with a snowy texture to add even more visual interest. I really love when you add lots of fun and interesting items to your mixed media projects for the recipient to discover!

This video is just a little bit longer but I really wanted to include all of the information that I could so that you could easily create one of your own if you wish!
