Tim Holtz Holiday Knit – Gift Card Holders

December 9, 2023 December 9, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Gift Card Holder, Holiday Cards, Tim Holtz, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using some new Christmas 2023 products from the Tim Holtz collection! Let’s start by cutting some kraft cardstock to size. I will give you all of the measurements and score lines in this video!

Next, we will be using the beautiful new Texture Fades – Holiday Knit embossing folder with some kraft cardstock. We can emboss the two 4″ x 4 3/4″ panels through the die cutting machine and then run the smaller 4″ x 1 1/2″ panels through using the snowflake section of the embossing folder.

To ink these panels, we will be using the Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. To apply the ink, we will use the Tim Holtz Small Brayer. I’ll give you a few tips and tricks for brayering in today’s video as well.

Next, let’s add some Tim Holtz Distress Mica Stains in Sugary Gumdrop, Wonderland, and Frosty Mint. We will spritz these colors on to our embossed panels and with a sponge dauber we will spread the mica stains out a little bit. These mica stains dry with a beautiful shimmery finish and really bring these panels to life! We can also spatter the panels with a bit of white ink for a snowy look!

Let’s also ink the edges of all of these panels using the Distress Oxide ink in Ground Espresso.

Now we can spray the three stains onto some white cardstock and die cut the “joy” sentiment. This sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Festive Words die set. We can also die cut the layer piece and ink the edges with that same Ground Espresso ink.

Let’s score the larger panel to create the card base. We can add a bit of twine to the front card panel and pop this panel up using some foam mounting tape and then add the sentiment. This will also get popped up for a bit of dimension.

We can add our snowflake border to the inside of the card and add some 1/8″ double sided tape to the inside flap to create the little pocket for the gift card.

Finally, we will add a few additional sentiments using the Tim Holtz idea-ology – Sticker Book – Christmas 2023 and add a few sequins in a coordinating teal color. But as I mentioned in the video, if you want to keep these a bit more masculine you could add a few metal stars, enamel dots or chipboard stars that you may have in your collection.

Snowman Puppet Tag Cards!

December 6, 2023 December 5, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Holiday Cards, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using a wonderful brand-new stamp and die set called the Ai Snowman Puppet Set (5803) which includes all of the pieces needed to create a boy or girl snowman! It is just so simple and adorable. I think it is one of my favorite stamp sets from this year’s holiday collection!

We can start by stamping the images needed to create the boy and girl and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Pink, Pink, Geranium Red, Turquoise Green, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Bright Yellow, Scarlet Red, Haze Blue, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray, Cool Gray 6. We can also die cut them using the coordinating dies that come with this set. Once these are colored, we can add a few details using some gel pens in coordinating colors!

Next, let’s die cut these pretty tags using the Ai Tag Stitched Dies (5132). We will die cut two from some white 100lb cardstock and two from some kraft 100lb cardstock. We can score one of the tags so that we can create a tag card design. I will show you how to do this in today’s video!

We will also be using that same tag die to die cut two more tags from the Ai Gnome Paper Pack (5832). Which will give us a blue w/ white polka dots tag and a cream w/ blue polka dots tag. These will serve as our snowy backgrounds.

Next, we can die cut a few snowy borders for each of the tags using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders Dies.

Let’s also die cut a pretty snowflake for each of the tags using the Ai Lg Snowflake Dies (5353).

Now for the fun part…. assembling our cute little puppet snow people and our tags!

For a finishing touch, we will add a small heart in the center of each snowflake and some pretty velvet ribbon in pinks and blues!

These tags were created for the current “Clean and Simple” Blog Challenge! Although these tags have a lot of detail to them, I felt that the simplicity of the designs really fit this challenge so well. As always, we invite you to join in the blog challenge…. we would love to see what you create!

Tim Holtz Vintage Sled – Christmas 2023

December 2, 2023 December 2, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Tim Holtz, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun playing with another brand-new Tim Holtz Christmas 2023 die set! This beautiful sled is the from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vintage Sled Set.

This set just reminds me so much of my favorite childhood activities of playing in the snow, sledding and ice skating almost every day after school during the beautiful New England winters!

I’ll show you all of the pieces included in this die set and show you how easy it is to assemble this little sled. We will be coloring all of the pieces using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks, but you could certainly use some colored cardstock to die cut all of the sections of the sled.

To set the scene, we will be using a wood plank background paper from the Tim Holtz idea-ology Backdrops – Christmas 2023 collection. For additional interest we will be adding the Tim Holtz Distress Texture Paste using a wonderful Lawn Fawn Snowy Sky Stencil.

We can tear some white cardstock to create our snowbanks and add some Tim Holtz Rock Candy Glitter for a bit of sparkle!

Let’s add a fun sentiment using the Tim Holtz idea-ology Quote Chips – Labels…and this says “A little magic can take you a long way”. There are several quote chips that would work really well for this card that are included in this set.

Now we can fussy cut a few lanterns from the same paper pack and add a bit of interest by adding some glaze to the berries and some clear glitter pen to the light on the candles.

Finally, let’s assemble the card and add a few additional sprigs and greenery to the candles for a more realistic look!

If you love the new Christmas 2023 dies from Tim Holtz then you might enjoy a recent video that I did which I will link here:

Tim Holtz Reindeer Sleigh w/ Mica Stains and Ink Blending!

November 26, 2023 November 26, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Tim Holtz No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be playing with some beautiful brand-new dies from the Tim Holtz Christmas 2023 collection in order to create a really special Christmas card!!!

Let’s get started by creating a winter sky with a bright winter moon! The moon stencil is the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Moon Layering Mask. This set includes three different sizes of masks. Once we place the mask onto the card panel, we can then do a bit of ink blending using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. Before we remove the mask, we can spatter this panel with some metallic ink and some white ink. This will give us a snowy and starry night sky!

Next, we can die cut the Santa sleigh from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Reindeer Sleigh die set. We will layer several dies together for added dimension and the top layer will be the pretty black sparkle cardstock from the TH idea-ology Deco Sheets (Halloween) collection.

To color the beautiful trees, from the TH Sizzix Thinlits Forest Shadows die set, we will be using the TH Mica Stains. Let’s grab the Fresh Balsam and Bubbling Caldron and spray them directly onto to our die cut trees. When these dry they will have a pretty pearlized look!

We can add a Christmas Word from the TH idea-ology Baseboards and Transparencies – Christmas 2023 set. This sentiment will say “Believe in the magic of Christmas”, which just perfect for this card.

The red and white paper can be added to the card base and that is from the TH idea-ology Backdrops – Christmas 2023 collection.

This card will measure 5″ x 7″, so it is a bit larger than the usual A2 size card but is perfect for this set of dies!

Mini Christmas Twister w/ Layering Stencil Background!

November 22, 2023 November 21, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Flip Card, Holiday Cards, Interactive, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a super fun twister card using the brand-new Ai Mini Christmas Twister (5815) Set. This stamp and die set include several holiday twisters. We have got this adorable Santa, a sweet little snowman, a stocking full of gifts and the “JOY” sentiment! It also includes the dies that are necessary to create the spinner mechanisms and die cut all of the images.

Let’s start off by coloring the front and back of the Santa’s face. We will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, and Flesh Colour. To color the Santa suit we will be using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Lumberjack Plaid.

Next, we can die cut the front and back of the Santa using the dies that are included in the set. We can also use this same set to die cut a pretty metallic frame in gold.

To set the scene for the card we will be stenciling a beautiful background using the Lawn Fawn Winter Sprigs Background Layering Stencil. We will again use the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks for this process….and all of the colors will be listed below.

We can create the “Gate Fold” card base using some heavy weight 100lb Kraft cardstock. I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video and I will also give you the measurements for the front panels and for the inside card panel.

Next, we can die cut the opening for the mini spinner. You may have to run this through the die cutting machine a few times since we are die cutting a few layers of heavy cardstock. Now we can glue the frame in place.

And… for the fun part…. let’s pop our little Santa into the spinner mechanism and watch it spin!

Let’s also add a fun belt buckle to the front of the card using the Ai Mini Journal Template (5718). Once this has been die cut we can add a bit of texture to it using the Tim Holtz 3D Texture Fades in Cracked Leather. Then go ahead and center this on the front of the card… remember to only put glue on the ends of the buckle! I thought this would serve a couple different purposes by giving us a fun closure for the card and it also mimics the belt buckle on Santa’s suit!

Using the Ai Mousey Christmas (5564) we can grab a cute sentiment that says, “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!” and stamp it using that same Lumberjack Plaid ink. We can also die cut this sentiment using a pretty die from the Ai Mini Journal Template (5718) Set.

I hope you had as much fun watching this video on how to create a mini spinner as I had making it!!!

Shaving Cream Marbling Technique to create Hero Arts Bulb Ornaments!

November 18, 2023 November 18, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Hero Arts, Hero Hues, Holiday Cards, Ornament, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s get started by creating some beautiful marble backgrounds using some shaving cream…. yes shaving cream!!! If you have never done this before you are going to get a kick out of this fun and easy process. I’ll show you exactly what to do in today’s video. It’s a bit messy…. but lots of fun!

To do the marbling we will be using the Hero Arts Liquid Watercolor and the Glimmer Metallic Inks. These bottles have a dropper applicator so it will make this product very easy to use.

Now we can die cut some ornaments from this marble paper using the Hero Arts Infinity Dies – Bulb Ornaments in a few different sizes. This will give our ornaments a very unique look! We can use these same dies to die cut the topper in some pretty metallic silver cardstock.

Next, we will add a sentiment to each of the ornaments using the Peace, Love, and Joy from the Hero Arts Ornament Peek-a-boo Infinity Parts set. We will emboss these sentiments using some “Liquid Platinum” embossing powder.

Next, we can create the background for the card using the Hero Arts Bold Prints 6″x6″ – Starry Night Brushstroke stamp. We will ink it using a clear embossing ink and then we will emboss it using the Hero Arts – White Satin Pearl embossing powder. Then we will add some pretty ink around the edges using the Hero Hues Ink Cube in Summer Sky. Let’s also spatter this background with some white paint for a snowy effect!

Let’s also ink the edges of the ornaments using the Hero Hues Ink Cube in Cotton Candy! We can add some pretty blue twine to each ornament and pop up the ornaments with some foam adhesive squares.

Next, we will die cut a pretty branch to hang our ornaments using the Tim Holtz “Holiday Greens” die set. Let’s die cut several of these branches and then glue them together for added dimension! Now we can add some Hero Paste in White Pearl for a pearlized snowy look!

Let’s quickly assemble the card and add a few of the Hero Arts Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots onto the background, tie a pretty bow and add a few gems to the branch for a beautiful sparkle!

Pretty Poinsettia Card – Embossing using your dies!!!

November 15, 2023 November 14, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Holiday Cards, Winter, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today let’s create a pretty and elegant Christmas card using the brand-new Ai WC Poinsettia Set (5828). We will be using the three sizes of the poinsettia images to create some very dimensional flowers. I also want to show you how you can easily use your dies to emboss your cards. This technique can be used with any of your dies!

Let’s begin by stamping the poinsettias onto some Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and then we can color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Wine Red.

Using our detail scissors we can cut these out and then we can add some dimension using a sculpting mat and tools. Now we can layer these flowers. For the larger flower we will use all three sizes and for the smaller ones we will layer the medium and small flowers.

Let’s add a gold center to each flower using the Hero Arts Pearls in gold!

We can also die cut some greenery and berries using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Merry & Bright set. By adding more of the Hero Arts Pearls in the White we can give these berries a touch of elegance! And to the sprigs we can add the Tim Holtz pretty Rock Candy glitter!

Let’s die cut the snowflake frame from the Ai Snowflake Frame Set (5782). We will layer this frame onto some vellum paper and a pretty snowflake paper from the Ai Christmas S2 Paper Pack (5812). We can also stamp the word “magic” onto to the vellum paper using the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566).

The beautiful “Christmas” die cut sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits – Vault Series: Christmas 2021. We will die cut this from some pretty gold sparkle cardstock.

I’d like to show you a really fun and easy technique today. This technique will allow you to do some beautiful embossing using your dies! This is a great way to get more use from you dies! I’ll show you exactly how to do this in today’s video! I’ll be using the Spellbinders Platinum 6 Die Cutting machine, but you should use the instructions for your specific machine.

Let’s do a quick assembly of all of these wonderful elements! You could totally change this card by changing the color of the poinsettias and greenery.

As I mentioned in the video, there is a Christmas Evergreen Bundle Set (c5854) currently available at a discounted price. If you buy all four sets, including the one we are using today, you will receive a 20% discount! This is a great deal, and you will find it listed down below for you as well.

Joyful Snowman Card w/ Pearl Paste

November 8, 2023 November 7, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Holiday Cards, Scene Cards No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a brand-new stamp and die set to show you today….and you are going to love it! It is the Ai Joyful Snowman Set (5802) and it include three of the most adorable festive snowmen and many coordinating sentiments.

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring the joyful snowman using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Haze Blue, Sky Blue, Lt Gray, Sugared Almond Pink, Carmine, Wine Red, Orange, May Green, Green.

Next, we can create the background for our scene card using the beautiful White Pearl Paste from Hero Arts and the Lawn Fawn Snowy Sky Stencil. This will give us some pretty pearl snowflakes!

Now we can add some ink blending to this background using the Hero Arts Core Inks in Mist, Periwinkle and Aegean using a small blending brush.

Next, we will die cut a frame for this card using the Ai Nested Rectangle Dies (5724) and some snowy borders from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders Dies.

Let’s also stamp and color in some pretty packages and some berry and holly leaves from the Ai Christmas Mice Set (5459) in the same colors we used on our snowman.

For the sentiment we will use the “Warmest Holiday Wishes” along with a scallop circle from the Ai Journal Oval Frames (5588). The patterned papers are from the Ai Valentines PP (5741). Let’s also cut the red and white striped paper for the front of the card.

Next, we can add a few highlights with a white gel pen and now we can quickly assemble this fun holiday card!! You can easily switch the snowmen from this set using this same design…so I hope you have as much fun as I did with this wonderful new set!

Twisted Easel Snowflake Card!

November 1, 2023 October 31, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Holiday Cards, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be adding a little twist to a square card by creating a “twisted easel” card! I will give you all of the measurements for your cardstock, decorative papers and also the score lines needed to create this unique design in today’s video.

Let’s begin by die cutting the pretty Ai Large Snowflake Die (5353) as well as a few of the included snowflakes out of some sparkly cardstock. For the frame we can die cut three extras so that we can glue several frames together to give it a bit more substance and interest.

Next, let’s stamp the little snowman from the new Ai WC Snow Globe Set (5791) which also includes this snowman, church, trees, deer, sentiment, and the base of the snow globe.

For the scarf and hat, we will do a bit of paper piecing using the double-sided papers from the Ai Mini Paper Pack (5835). We can also color in the remainder of the snowman using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pink Haze, Haze Blue, Bright Yellow, Brick Beige.

Now we can create the base and mechanism for this unique card…and again I will show you exactly how to do this in the video!

We will add some pretty plaid layering paper to the front and some dotted paper on inside of the card.

Let’s grab one more snowflake die from the Ai Large Snowflake Dies (5353) Set. This will also get layered up to create the piece that will hold our easel fold in place.

Finally, let’s assemble the card and add a few sparkly silver gems from the Buttons Galore & More Jewelz Collection!

Hero Arts Layering Stencil w/ Paste, Glimmer, Lacquer!

October 29, 2023 October 29, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Hero Arts, Holiday Cards, Winter No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create some pretty tags or tag cards using a beautiful Hero Arts Layering “O Christmas Tree” Stencil Set! This set includes 4 stencils that can be used to create the most dimensional tree with ornaments, garland and a pretty star! Please note that there is a matching “O Christmas Tree” Stamp Set which I have linked below if you are interested in that as well.

To get started we can die cut a stitched tag using the Ai Tag Stitched Dies (5132) Set. We will be doing a white tag and a kraft tag. I think you will enjoy seeing the difference between the two tags by using the same ink colors!

Next, we can start the stenciling using the Hero Arts Mini Cube Inks and a small Hero Arts blending brush. We will start with some Pine ink for the first layer. For layer number two we can use the Fresh Lawn ink. To do the garland we will use the Cranberry and Crimson. And the last layer are the little ornaments which will be done in a variety of colors. These colors are all listed below.

Now we can stamp the Hero Arts Bold Prints “Script” Cling Stamp using the Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs. This is one of my go-to stamps for creating a pretty background on your cards and tags.

Next, we can use the blending brush and some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain ink to go around the edges of the tag.

To tie the background together we will be spattering each tag with the Hero Arts Glimmer Metallic Inks in Gold and Pewter and the Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof White ink.

On the white tag we will be adding some Hero Arts White Pearl Paste to the garland. This will add some fun dimension and a pretty pearl finish.

On both tags we can add the Hero Arts Lacquer Pen Sparkle Clear on each of the ornaments. This again will add dimension and interest to the ornaments.

We can die cut some pretty stars using the same die set we used to create the tag. These will also be in the gold and silver.

Finally, let’s add a pretty Pinkfresh Studio Metallic Pearl to each of the stars in Matte Gold and Silver and some sparkly twine to each of the tags!

Now you can leave these as a simple tag or create a tag card…and I will show you how to do this in today’s video!
