Tim Holtz Mixed Media Shaker Tag for the New Year!

December 27, 2024 December 27, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Mixed Media, Shaker Card, Tim Holtz, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

New Year’s Eve is coming soon, and I thought it would be fun to create a mixed media tag with a surprise shaker element! We will be using several products from the Tim Holtz Collection including some wonderful “Vault Dies”, Grit Paste, Metallic Cardstock, Velvet Trims, Locket Key and Ball Chain, Sparkle Papers and so much more!

I’m creating the tag for a New Year’s Eve 2025 hostess gift. However, you could easily leave off the date and use this for any occasion. This would be great for a graduation by just placing the graduation year inside the tag, retirement, or even someone’s age for a big birthday celebration!

For the base of this tag, we will use the wonderful Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Watch Gears Die Set. This will give us the elements needed to create the “pocket watch” layers and numbers. We will also use the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Christmas Magic Die Set for our focal element which is the magical city scape!

I am going to refer you directly to today’s video so that I can show you all of the construction and elements of this shaker tag in full detail. It’s super easy and fun to create!

Thank you for all your support this year! I hope you all have a happy, healthy, fun and crafty New Year!!!

Tim Holtz Vintage Matchbox Party Favors!

December 14, 2024 December 14, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Party Favor, Tim Holtz No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating some tiny little vintage matchbox party favors! This little box is from the brand-new Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Vault Matchbox die set!

Let’s get started by die cutting the base of our boxes from some Tim Holtz Distress Kraft Heavystock. This is going to give us a nice solid base for the boxes. We will be mass producing three boxes today and by doing this we can really speed up the process. Setting up a little production line is great, especially if you are planning on creating several of these for the holidays! We can quickly fold and assemble these box bases using a bone folder and some 1/4″ double-sided tape.

Next, we can die cut the “wrap-around” piece for the boxes using the wonderful Tim Holtz idea-ology – Kraft Stock Sparkle – Christmas collection. This paper has a wonderful subtle sparkle which is perfect for these vintage looking boxes.

Next, let’s die cut the images for the top of our boxes using the wonderful Tim Holtz idea-ology – Christmas Large Collage Strips. You will absolutely love these…they are perfect for tiny projects such as this or tiny tags, bookmarks, mini journals, etc.

Once these are die-cut we can ink around the edges with the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo. We will add a snowy effect to these by spattering on some white ink. Let’s pop these up on the front of the boxes with some foam squares. We can ink the edges of the box base at this same time.

Next, let’s add some holly leaves using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Festive Wreath die set. Once we die cut these from some the Tim Holtz Kraft-Stock – Cool (Green). We will then sculpt these leaves to add some dimension and interest. I’ll show you how I did this in today’s video.

For the center of each of the leaf clusters we will add a cute little candy confection and add a sugary look using the Tim Holtz Rock Candy Glitter. These will look absolutely yummy!

To line the inside of the box we will use that same rectangle die and go back to the collage strips to grab some floral patterns. Don’t forget to ink around the edges of these as well. Now you can tape these to this inside of each of the boxes! This will look so pretty when the recipient slides the box open!

These adorable little boxes can be used for any party including Christmas parties, showers, birthday parties, and so much more! I folded and wrapped some cash in baker’s twine and added a cute little jingle bell to each of mine! You could add some candy, a special note, or anything you like! I’m sure you will have a great time creating these little gems for your own special event!

Christmas Party Favor Boxes!

December 11, 2024 December 10, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Home, Party Favor No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today creating one of my favorite projects which is to create party favor boxes! We will be using the Ai Mini Journal Box Dies (5805) to create these festive little boxes. This die set was designed to create a box for your mini journals and that set is the Ai Mini Journal Template Dies (5718). However, I thought it would be fun to use it as a favor box today!

I previously used this same die set to create and Elegant Party Favor Box using Texture Paste and Stenciling that I will link below for you if you would like to take a look at that video!

Let’s go ahead and die cut the boxes using some 100lb Kraft Cardstock. We can also die cut the pretty borders using the two different border dies that are included in the set. We will die cut the borders and an insert for the inside of the box from some pretty red paper from the Ai Valentins Paper Pack (5741). We will also cut the label die from the top of the box to create a little window. We can glue on the borders and panel for the bottom of the box and then cut a piece of acetate for the window opening and glue this in place as well.

Let’s set those aside to dry while we stamp, color, and die cut some candy canes and holly w/ berries from the Ai Christmas Mice Set (5459). We will color in the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, May Green, Dark Green, Deep Red Grape, Geranium Red, Lt Gray.

We can assemble the boxes using some 1/4″ double-sided tape. Once they were assembled, I thought they needed a little bit of spattering in some white ink for a snowy look! You may want to do this before you assemble the box.

Now we can add the candy canes and holly with some 3D Foam Squares.

Let’s go back to that same paper pack and cut some paper strips to cover our chocolates. We can quickly wrap the candies and add a bit of green/white twine and tie a bow.

I hope you got inspired to create some favor boxes of your own…who doesn’t love to receive chocolates!

Tim Holtz Vintage Holiday Postcards!

December 7, 2024 December 7, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Postcard, Sizzix, Tim Holtz No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

In today’s video we will be creating some one-layer Vintage Holiday Postcards using several products from the Tim Holtz product line!

To get started we will cut some TH Distress Kraft Heavystock paper to a standard size postcard measuring 4 1/4″ x 6″. We will be making three postcards today so we will use some mass production techniques.

Let’s go ahead and stamp the wonderful Santa and tree from the Tim Holtz – Stampers Anonymous -Santa Visit Stamp Set. We will be using several images from this set today.

In order to make the tree look like it sits behind Santa we will stamp our Santa onto some masking paper. We will mask the Santa and then stamp the tree, remove the masking paper and reveal the design. We can also mask around the edges of the postcard with that same masking paper by cutting it into 1/4″ strips and place it all around the edges while we do some simple ink blending.

Leaving the mask around the edges we can stamp some holly leaves and a wonderful calendar which is also in this stamp set! We can also spatter this will some of the Vintage Photo ink and also the TH Distress Spritz in Frayed Burlap. This will add a bit of shimmer!

Next, let’s color all of the images using the Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils in the following colors: Candied Apple, Fired Brick, Tattered Rose, Wild Honey, Tumbled Glass, Faded Jeans, Iced Spruce, Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Twisted Citron, Rustic Wilderness, Picket Fence. I’ll show you a few different techniques for using these pencils. We will use a blending brush, a water brush, and also go directly to the paper.

For the ornaments, we will use a gold, silver and white gel pen. This will add a metallic shimmer, but it won’t be too sparkly.

On the backside of the postcard, we will switch over to the Tim Holtz – Stampers Anonymous – Correspondence Stamp Set we will stamp the postal stripe around the edges using some blue and red ink. I’ll show you a few tips and tricks for stamping this border.

Now we can stamp the “Postcard” sentiment as well and add the lines needed for the address and to separate the postcard into two sections. To make this really easy to do we will be using a fun little T-Ruler.

Now we can leave the left side of the postcard blank for writing in your personal sentiment, however I decided to stamp the sentiment that came with the set that says “Will leave North Pole tonight. Arrive at your house Christmas Eve. Santa Claus”.

Let’s add a bit of ink blending around the postal stripe to tie everything together!
