Swivel Surprise Card – Masculine Birthday!

March 27, 2025 March 27, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Birthday Card, Interactive, Masculine, Pop-up Card No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will create this fun masculine interactive swivel surprise card! This card was inspired by the current Art Impressions “Milestone Birthday” Blog Challenge, and I’m honored to be the featured artist for this fun and fabulous challenge!

For the focal images on this card, we will be using the Ai Reel Great Guys Set (4900). This set will give us plenty of fun stamps to create the fishermen for the outside of the card and several cute coordinating images for our interactive feature on the inside of the card!

Let’s begin by stamping and coloring all of the images that we will be using today. All of today’s coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Lt Pink, Geranium Red, Bright Yellow, Aquamarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Blue Gray, Lt Gray, Ochre, Beige, Mid Brown, Gray, Ever Green.

Next, we can use our detail scissors to fussy cut out all of the images leaving a little white border around the edges.

To create the standard size card base we will use some Kraft cardstock and then we will die-cut the panels needed to decorate the front and inside of the card. For patterned paper we will use the brand-new Ai Basic Teal Paper Pack (6011). Select the patterns you like best…. there are so many wonderful choices in this paper pad. We will die cut these papers using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). We can go ahead and attach these to the card.

Now we can add a sentiment from this same set on the front panel and stamp another sentiment from the Kraft cardstock and die-cut it with a banner die.

Let’s also die cut the “Milestone” numbers from the brand-new Ai Large Numbers Die Set (5911) and add them to this unique and personalized birthday card!

We can add the fisherman by popping them up with a bit of 3D Foam Tape. And now, for the fun part, we will die-cut and assemble the Swivel Surprise interactive elements for the inside of the card. To do this, we will be using the Lawn Fawn Swivel Surprise Die Set. This is really fun and easy to create. It actually looks way more complicated than it actually is to do. I will show you exactly how to do this in today’s video!

Now let’s add the jumping fish, the floating puppy, the banner sentiment, and the bucket of fish!

When we open up the card, we will see all of our images in motion! This card is just so much fun and can be used with so many of your favorite stamp sets!!!

Inspirational Bookmarks – Lily Border!

March 26, 2025 March 25, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Bookmarks, Easter, Encouragement No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a few simple, yet inspirational bookmarks! These would be perfect for your Easter Bible Journaling, or a friend, teacher, or avid reader!

Let’s begin by stamping the pretty floral border from the Ai Lily Border Set (5374) and coloring the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Haze Blue, Mid Green, Moss Green.

This stamp set includes the center of the flower, and we will stamp the centers using the Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade Dye Ink. This little stamp is so easy to use and adds so much more interest to the flowers!

Next, we will die-cut the images using this stitched label die from the Ai Decorative Journal Page 1 Dies (5768) Set. Once this is die-cut, we will add some ink around the edges using the Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

Now we will die-cut the bookmarks using the Ai Bookmarks Die Set (5223) from the brand-new 6″x6″ paper packs in Basic Teal and Basic Yellow. If you lay this bookmark die on a little bit of an angle it will fit perfectly on this smaller paper. We will also die-cut the reinforcers and butterflies from this same set.

Before we assemble the bookmarks, let’s stamp a few inspirational sentiments on each of the bookmarks using the Ai Little Things Sentiment Set (5797). This set has so many wonderful sentiments to choose from that it will be hard to decide!

To assemble the bookmarks, let’s add the florals, reinforcers, butterflies, and add some pretty hemp twine in white!

For a finishing touch, we can add a bit of sparkle, without adding any bulk by using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen on the center of the flowers!

Get Well Shaker Card – Doggy Kisses!

March 19, 2025 March 17, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Get Well, Interactive, Shaker Card No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a cheerful get-well shaker card using the Ai Doggy Kisses Set (AiCS38) which includes several cute little dogs, paws, a bandage, tissues w/ mug and several coordinating sentiments!

This card was inspired by the current Ai “I like to move it, move it!” Blog Challenge! Just as the name implies, we are looking for cards that shake, rattle and roll! Whether it be a shaker card, as we will be creating today, or a slider card, a card that wobbles, or anything else you can think of that adds movement to your card or project!

Let’s begin by stamping and coloring the dog and several bandages using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Carmine Red, Scarlet Red, Yellow, May Green, Green, Aquamarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Lt Gray, Beige, Mid Brown. We can now fussy cut the images with some detail scissors and leave a little white border all the way around.

Now let’s create the front shaker panel for the card using the largest die from the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724). We will also use the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721) to create the window opening and to create a scalloped heart frame.

We will ink around the edges of the panel and the scallop frame using some “sand dune” ink and a small blending brush.

Using a piece of clear acetate cut down to fit behind this rectangular panel we will stamp our sentiment in some permanent “snowflake” ink. This sentiment will say “Hope it won’t take too long to recover” which is from this same stamp set and is perfect for this card! Go ahead and attach the acetate to this panel using some double-sided tape.

Next, we will add some 3D Foam Tape to the back of this panel so that we can create the shaker element for this card (I will show you exactly how to do this in today’s video). We will place some pretty and colorful sequins inside the shaker area and attach the front panel to our card base. The card base is a standard A2 size top folding card which will measure 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

Now let’s finish decorating the front of the card by adding the little puppy, a few bandages, and some pretty sequins! We will also add a few of the clay hearts from this sequin mix to the center of each of the bandages.

For the inside of the card, we will stamp “Thinking of you” onto the leftover heart that was created when we die cut the front panel. Don’t forget to ink the edges of this heart as well and add a few more bandages!

For some added fun you can add a bandage or two to the flap on the envelope! I think that anyone feeling a bit under the weather would love to receive this sweet get-well card!

Fun w/ Fashionistas Birthday Card!

March 12, 2025 March 11, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Birthday Card, Congratulations, Friendship, Scene Cards, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today playing with one of my favorite “Girlfriends” sets! We will be using the Ai Uptown Girls Set (4129) which comes with these four wonderfully fashionable ladies and some coordinating sentiments!

If you are not familiar with the “Girlfriends” sets you may want to take a look at some of the others that are available including the Gardening Girlfriends, Crazy Friends, Cheers My Deers, Friends Forever and so many more! I will give you the link in the description box and you can just type “Girlfriends” in the search bar and all of these wonderful sets will come up!

To get started we can die cut the largest die from the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Die Set (5063) and then stamp and color our little ladies using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Dk Pink, Yellow, Orange, Haze Blue, Lt Blue, Ice Blue, Lt Gray, Warm Gray 4, Dk Gray, May Green, Green, Brown, Beige, Mid Brown.

To add some additional interest and detail to the ladies’ outfits we will add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter and some polka dots, and highlights with a white gel pen.

To set the scene, we will use a combination of pretty blue inks and for the stencil we will use the Lawn Fawn Draped Ribbon Stencil! Once the stenciling is done, we will spatter the darkest blue ink onto the cardstock before we remove the stencil. This will give a pretty look to our sky!

Next, let’s die cut three fences from the Ai WC Arbor Set (5363) from some black 100lb cardstock.

We will also add a cobblestone walk using the Ai WC Cobblestone Set (5018) onto some gray 100lb cardstock. We can tear the top of the panel, stamp the cobblestone walk, add some shadowing with a gray marker, and add some ink around the edges of the panel to tie everything together.

Before we begin the assembly let’s stamp a sentiment for the front of the card using this same stamp set and then a few sentiments for the inside of the card using the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) or the Ai Mini Birthday Sentiments Set (5866) or a combination of the two.

Now we will quickly assemble the card and as a finishing touch we will sprinkle on some pretty iridescent gems!

Art Impressions

Re-imagining your Matchbook Dies!

March 5, 2025 March 4, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Birthday Card, Interactive, Pop-up Card, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers No Comment

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

We are going to have some fun today by re-imagining the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317). We are going to use the Matchbook card base, however, for the images we will be using the Ai Honey Bee Set (5925) which includes the most adorable little bees, hives, flowers, honeycomb and the cutest coordinating sentiments.

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Case that Card” Blog Challenge! The term “case” is to “copy and share everything”. This is a great way to get a card idea that can be used as your inspiration to create your own version of this idea. This is especially helpful if you are in a creative slump…this can help to get your creative juices flowing again.

So, I would like to thank our very own Design Team Member, Renee for this fantastic “out-of-the-box” idea! When I saw the adorable little village scene that she created using the matchbook template die set, I wished I had thought of it myself…lol! I thought I would honor her by creating this “bee” version because I know that she loves bee themed cards!

Take a look at Renee’s sweet matchbook scene that inspired today’s card:

So, let’s begin by stamping, die-cutting, and coloring all of the images that we will be using today. All of the coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Tear Rose, Bright Yellow, Scarlet Red, Geranium Red, Yellow, Haze Blue, Green Gray, Beige, Mid Brown, Cool Gray 6.

Using a heavyweight black cardstock, let’s also die-cut a pretty fence using the Ai WC Arbor Die Set (5363).

Let’s set these aside while we build the matchbook base using the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317) and some pretty patterned paper from the Easter S2 Paper Pack (5892). We will use this same paper to create the coordinating envelope using the Ai Envelope Template Die Set (5318). I’ll show you exactly how to quickly and easily die-cut and fold the matchbook and envelope in today’s video.

Next, we can add all of our adorable images, including the fence and add a few sweet sentiments from this same set. I saved one of the bees for the back of the envelope….so cute!

For a finishing touch, let’s add some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to the wings of the bees and add some highlights with a white gel pen!

Please join us in this fun new blog challenge! We would absolutely love to see what you create!
