Inspirational Floral Bookmarks w/ Keys!

August 26, 2025 August 26, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Bookmarks, Encouagement, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create some pretty inspirational bookmarks today using the new Ai Bible Bookmark Dies (6043). This set includes two bookmark dies and a few layering dies, as well as three separate word dies. We will die cut the bookmarks from some pretty patterned paper using the Ai Bible Journaling Paper Pack S1 (6082).

Now using some white cardstock, we can die cut the largest layering die. On these layers we will stamp our pretty floral designs using the Ai Hydrangea Floral Set (6062). While we are doing our stamping, we will also stamp the inspirational sentiment using the Ai You Are (6054) Stamp.

Now let’s color the floral images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Violet, Lilac, Mid Green, Ever Green, Yellow.

To add the look of sky, and soften these panels a bit, we will ink around the edges of the panels using the TH Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass. Let’s also spatter the panels with this same ink. We will also add some Bundled Sage ink along the bottom of each panel.

Now we can add a bit of sparkle to the flowers using the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen and we can also add some highlights with a white gel pen.

Next, we can attach these floral panels to the bookmarks and add a pretty white border using the Ai Decorative Belly Band Die Set (5804). This will give the look of a little fence!

Let’s add a sheer green ribbon to the top of each bookmark and a sparkly little key. The key will be die cut using the Ai BJ Icon Die Set (5987). This set has so many little icon images that can be used on lots of your cards. We will die cut the key from the sparkle cardstock for the front and back of the keys and from some white cardstock to thicken up the keys.

Now we can tie the keys to the tops of the bookmarks using some white hemp twine!

These are fun to make and give to your friends, family or co-workers who love to read. They make a wonderful gift when paired with a great book!

Tim Holtz Mixed Media Stamps & Stencils w/ Glaze, Spritz & Embellishments!

August 23, 2025 August 23, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Best Wishes, Birthday Card, Encouagement, Friendship, General, Mixed Media, Tim Holtz No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be playing with a Tim Holtz – Stampers Anonymous – Mixed Media Set (60) that includes two wonderful stamps and a stencil that has two different designs. You will get to see all of these in action because we will be using all of these pieces today!

To get started we will create a white card panel that we will use to stamp a pretty harlequin pattern. We will stamp this pattern on each side of this panel in Onyx Black ink. Then we will mask off this design using some Post-it Tape and start inking the center of the panel. For the first one we will use the TH Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers … and for the second panel we will use Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord.

Now we can spatter the panels with some water and blot up the water with a paper towel. Let’s also grab that stencil set. We will lay the stencil over the panel and using a baby wipe or damp paper towel we will rub it over the top of the stencil. This will remove some of the ink and leave the stencil design behind!

Now, still leaving the Post-it Tape in place, we will stamp the butterfly/text image on the turquoise panel and the floral/text design on the lavender panel in that same black ink.

Next, let’s spatter the panels with the Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White Ink. Once that is dry, we will spatter again with the TH Distress Spritz in Villainous Potion (on Lavender panel) and Peacock Feathers (on the turquoise panel).

Now we can remove the Post-it Tape and ink the edges with some clear embossable ink and then add some TH Distress Glaze over top. Using Salvaged Patina and Wilted Violet. This glaze is so special and unique because it will allow anything underneath to still show through. It adds a pretty tinted glazed look and a nice texture!

Next, let’s add some TH Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo around the edges of each panel.

Now we will take some TH idea-ology Mummy Cloth and dye it to match our vintage looking card. To do this, we will spray the Mummy Cloth with the TH Distress Oxide Spray in Vintage Photo. You’ll want to allow plenty of time for this to dry completely. Once it is dry, we will wrap it around each of the panels and tie a knot. You can fray the ends of the cloth for a more aged look!

Let’s create a black card base and a kraft cardstock layer and then add the colored panels that we created.

For the sentiment, we will grab a few quote chips and ink around the edges and then add that same Distress Glaze to each one. These can now be added to the cards.

For a finishing touch, we will sprinkle a few black gems on each of the panels!

NEW Pickleball Patty – Serving Sass & Smashes!

August 20, 2025 August 19, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Birthday Card, Easel Card, Friendship, General, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today, I’m excited to show you another brand-new set from the new release of all 5 of the active ladies! We will be using the Ai Pickleball Patty Set (6074) on today’s card. Keep in mind that each of the sets include a little lady and several sentiments and the coordinating dies. The collection includes Cruisin’ Carol, Birdie Betty, Gardener Gail, Cruisin’ Carol, Pickleball Patty! There are also some scenic paper packs that coordinate with each of the ladies. These are perfect for creating a quick backdrop for your cards!

Here are the new ladies and the links to the bundle which includes all 5 stamp sets and all 5 coordinating paper packs. This is a great deal if you are interested in collecting all of the sets because the bundle is currently 25% off! Please note that these ladies can also be purchased separately as well and are also listed on the website. Here is the link for the Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102): https://shrsl.com/4xg76

Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102) includes:

6074 – Pickleball Patty – with 4 sporty sentiments and matching die
6075 – Cruisin’ Carol – tropical vacation vibes and matching die
6076 – Gardener Gail – floral fun with 5 clever garden sentiments
6077 – Loungin’ Linda – poolside sass and sunny sayings
6080 – Birdie Betty – for the golf lovers, swingin’ into retirement
6097–6101 Paper Packs – 5 themed A2-size cardstock packs that perfectly match each character (Pickleball, Cruise, Garden, Lounge, Golf)

Today’s card is perfect for the brand-new Ai “Sports and Leisure” Blog Challenge which is to create a card or project with a fun sporty feel to it! This includes specific sports, gardening, hiking, fishing, hunting, riding bikes or motorcycles, relaxing on the beach, cruises and so much more. Please join us in this new challenge…we would love to see what you create!

Let’s begin today’s card by stamping, coloring, and die cutting Pickleball Patty. For the coloring, we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Pale Yellow, Mustard, Lt Gray, English Lavender, Lime Green, Summer Green.

Next, let’s add some details to the images using our gel pens in white, purple and lime green.

Now we can create the “easel” card base, and this will be a square card which will measure 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. I’ll give you the details for scoring and folding this card in today’s video. We will add some patterned paper panels to the front and inside of the card using the pretty Ai Mother’s Day Paper Pack (6051).

Let’s also die cut a pretty scalloped square (Ai Scalloped Square Dies) and add some more patterned paper to this using the same paper pack. This paper has a netting look to it, so it was perfect for giving the illusion of a pickleball net!

We can attach the scalloped rectangle to the front of the card, being sure to only glue down the lower section of the rectangle so that it will pop up when we fold it into the easel design.

We will also die cut the word “ACE!” from the Ai LG Letter Die Set (5910). We will stack up a few white letters and then the green to give the letters a thicker look and feel! We will add these to the front of the card just below the scalloped rectangle.

Let’s add Patty by popping her up with some foam squares. Now we can stamp a few sentiments from that same set and die cut them using the Ai Portfolio Template Die Set (5952). We will need one for the inside of the card (this will hold up the easel design) and one for the front of the card! These sentiments will say “Serving sass and smashes!” and “Game, Set, Nap.” … so very cute!

I hope you got inspired to give this fun easel card design a try! It is fun and easy to do and the best part … no additional dies necessary!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today, I’m excited to show you another brand-new set from the new release of all 5 of the active ladies! We will be using the Ai Gardener Gail Set (6076) on today’s card. Keep in mind that each of the sets include a little lady and several sentiments and the coordinating dies. The collection includes Cruisin’ Carol, Birdie Betty, Gardener Gail, Cruisin’ Carol, Pickleball Patty! There are also some scenic paper packs that coordinate with each of the ladies. These are perfect for creating a quick backdrop for your cards!

Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102) includes:

6074 – Pickleball Patty – with 4 sporty sentiments and matching die
6075 – Cruisin’ Carol – tropical vacation vibes and matching die
6076 – Gardener Gail – floral fun with 5 clever garden sentiments
6077 – Loungin’ Linda – poolside sass and sunny sayings
6080 – Birdie Betty – for the golf lovers, swingin’ into retirement
6097–6101 Paper Packs – 5 themed A2-size cardstock packs that perfectly match each character (Pickleball, Cruise, Garden, Lounge, Golf)

Let’s begin today’s card by stamping, coloring, and die cutting Gardener Gail and the 3 little potted planters. For the coloring, we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Flesh Colour, Sugared Almond Pink, Pink Haze, English Lavender, Purple, Violet, Aquamarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Lt Green, Green, Yellow, Orange, Beige, Lt Gray.

To set the scene, we will create a beautiful ink blended sky and grassy area. We will be using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to do the blending. Once all of the ink blending is done, we will spatter the sky with water, ink, and clear glitter and for the grass we will spatter with some ink as well. This will add a lot of interest to our pretty background! I’ll show you a little trick for masking the grass and sky on your card in order to get a perfect blending!

Next, let’s add the perfect picket fence using the Ai Journal Fence Dies (5807). There are three fence styles in this set, and I will show you those in today’s video.

For our sentiment we will use the same stamp set and it will say “Still bloomin’ after all these years”… perfect for a birthday card! But there are several sentiments to choose from in this set!

Finally, let’s pop-up Gail, the planters, and the sentiment!

Coloring Die Cuts w/ Distress Oxide Inks

August 10, 2025 August 10, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Best Wishes, Birthday Card, Friendship, General, Hello, Lawn Fawn, Summer, Thinking of You No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create a fun summer seashell card today using the wonderful new Lawn Fawn Stitched Seashell Die Set! This set includes 4 beautiful shell designs as well as some seagrass and little faces that you can cut into the shells for added cuteness!

To get started, let’s create some background papers from which we will die cut the seashells. To do this, we will be using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays. I used two colors for each of the shells, but you can use as many as you would like. I will show you a few different techniques for using these sprays in today’s video. These sprays will give the shells a pretty watercolor look and are so simple and easy to do!

Once all of the papers have been sprayed and are dry, we can die cut the seashells. You will see the beautiful, detailed stitching that is created when these are die cut. For some additional dimension and interest, we will use a tiny blending brush and add some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Antique Linen around the edges of the shells and seagrass.

For the background, let’s create the look of sand for the shells to lay on. To do this, we will die cut the largest die from the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Rectangle Stackables Dies and apply some Tim Holtz Distress “Gathered Twigs” Oxide Ink using a blending brush.

Next, we can add a spattering of the Tim Holtz Distress Spritz in Vintage Photo, which will and some shimmer to the sand. We will spatter this panel again, as well as the die cut shells with some Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White Ink.

Now we can add the shells to the sandy background using some foam squares. The hardest part was deciding the best layout for the shells! Any extra shells will be used on the inside of the card and remember to save one for the envelope as well.

Now we can attach this panel with the shells to the white card base and add our sentiments. For the sentiment banners we will use the Lawn Fawn Pull n’ Slide Dies. The sentiments will come from the Lawn Fawn Shello Friend Stamp Set. The card front will say, “You’re very spe-shell” and the inside “to me”.

Let’s also add some shells and seagrass to the inside of the card, next to the sentiment. This will finish off the card nicely!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today, I’m excited to show you another brand-new set from the new release of all 5 of the active ladies! We will be using the Ai Loungin’ Linda Set (6077) on today’s card. Keep in mind that each of the sets include a little lady and several sentiments and the coordinating dies. The collection includes Cruisin’ Carol, Birdie Betty, Gardener Gail, Cruisin’ Carol, Pickleball Patty! There are also some scenic paper packs that coordinate with each of the ladies. These are perfect for creating a quick backdrop for your cards!

Art Impressions People Bundle (c6102) includes:

6074 – Pickleball Patty – with 4 sporty sentiments and matching die
6075 – Cruisin’ Carol – tropical vacation vibes and matching die
6076 – Gardener Gail – floral fun with 5 clever garden sentiments
6077 – Loungin’ Linda – poolside sass and sunny sayings
6080 – Birdie Betty – for the golf lovers, swingin’ into retirement
6097–6101 Paper Packs – 5 themed A2-size cardstock packs that perfectly match each character (Pickleball, Cruise, Garden, Lounge, Golf)

Today’s card was inspired by the new Ai Blog “Stitches and Scallops” Challenge which is to use stitching or stitched or scalloped dies. Please join us in this new challenge … we would love to see what you create!

To set the scene for today’s card, we will be creating a fun beachy background with a pretty wave for Loungin’ Linda to enjoy! We will apply some Versamark Watermark Ink to the cardstock using a stippling technique and then apply some white embossing powder. This will give us the look of a wave once we apply some Tim Holtz Distress Inks to create the sand and water. I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video!

For some added interest, we will spatter the sand with some Gathered Twigs ink and the water with some Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White Ink.

Let’s set this aside while we stamp, color and die cut Linda. For our coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Haze Blue, Sea Green, Aquamarine Blue, Yellow, Orange, Flesh Colour, Pale Orange, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray.

Next, using a florescent orange gel pen lets add some cute little polka dots to her bathing suit and some highlights using a white gel pen.

For the front layering panel on our square card, we will use a pretty striped paper from the Ai Easter Paper Pack (5892). Let’s also add some peachy colored ribbon around this entire panel and pop-up the entire piece onto the center of the card front.

Next, using the Ai Scalloped Square Die Set (6047), we will die cut a peach-colored scalloped square and attach the beach scene that we created earlier. This will also get popped up on the card as well as Loungin’ Linda and the fun sentiment that is included in this set. It says ” LOUNGIN’ IS A LIFESTYLE” and is just perfect for this fun summer card!

As a finishing touch, let’s add some “ocean breeze” gems for a bit of sparkle!
