Creating a Party Favor/Gift Card Holder using the Ai Box Village Set!

January 14, 2026 January 13, 2026 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today we will be using the brand-new Art Impressions Box Village Template Die Set (6114) to create a fun Party Favor/Gift Card Holder! This project would be a great Valentine’s gift or housewarming gift.

We will die cut with all of the dies needed to create the village box and then I will show you how to create a box insert to house your candies and gift card … or anything else you might want to put in here. Maybe a card or a small gift! I will give you all of the dimensions in the video so that your box insert will fit snuggly in the bottom of the house and I will also show you how to make it easy to slide this in and out of the house!

For decorative papers, we will be using the Ai Valentine’s Paper Pack (5741). For some added interest to the front door, we will use the tiny heart wreath from the Ai Front Porch Valentine’s Set (5493) and add a cute little twine bow!

Let’s also add a sentiment behind the front door using the Ai Front Porch Set (5512) and it will say “Home Sweet Home”… but again you could substitute this with any sentiment that suits the occasion.

To create some sparkle lets add a few pale pink gems along the roof line and some red hearts to each of the windows.

For my little box insert, I used some paper shreds in pink, added some candies, and a gift card!

Matchbook Gnome Home w/ Matching Envelope!

July 17, 2024 July 16, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Oh, happy day!!! I’ve got another brand-new Matchbook to add to your collection and to show you today! We will be using the adorable little Matchbook Gnome Home Set (5908). This is one of four new Matchbook sets that were part of the brand-new release! They include this set as well as the MB Music Set and MB Golf Set and MB Bait and Tackle Set. I recently did a video using the golf set and I will link it here for you:

Let’s go ahead and stamp and color all of the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Pink Flamingo, Yellow, Orange, Scarlet Red, Blossom Pink, Aquamarine Blue, Smoky Teal, Ochre, Mid Green, Olive Green, Lt Gray, Platinum Brown, Warm Gray 6, Beige, Mid Brown.

Once these are colored, we can use the coordinating dies included in the set to cut these out. The die cutting will give us the score lines that we will need to press out with a bone folder.

Next, we can die cut the Ai Matchbook Template Die Set (5317) and the Ai Matchbook Envelope Die Set (5318) using the Ai Gnome Paper Pack (5832). Let’s also die cut the floor for our Gnome Home using the woodgrain paper from that same set.

Now let’s do the assembly and I will give you some tips and tricks for assembling this cute little wonder!

We can place the Matchbook into the envelope, to be sure we have the correct size, and then glue the tabs on the envelope!

We will add a little coordinating mushroom to the front of the envelope using a fun paper piecing technique, but you could add anything you like to the envelope such as a tag, ribbon, charms, sequins or beads. Just have fun and make it your own!

Keep an eye out for the brand-new Matchbook Music Shop video that I will be doing in the near future!

Front Porch Garden Card!

June 21, 2023 June 21, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we are going to be using another wonderful Front Porch Series stamp set! This is the Ai Front Porch Garden Set (5486) and has so many beautiful images including a few potted plants, floral wreath, topiary, floral vine and even a cute little pair of rain boots! Please note that you will need the Ai Front Porch Set (5512) to create the basic front porch and door. I’ll talk a bit more about that in the video and give you a closer look at that set!

Let’s get started by stamping and coloring all of these sweet little images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens as follows: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Pale Orange, Orange, Scarlet Red, Yellow, Lt Violet, Lt Green, Deep Green, Mid Green, Moss Green, Mid Gray, Lt Gray, Beige, Lt Brown, Sand, Mid Brown, Smoky Teal.

Since this set includes the coordinating dies we can go ahead and die cut all of these little pieces!

To set the scene for our front porch we will use a 3D Deck Planks Embossing Folder and then we will add a bit of gray in-between the wood slats for a bit more interest and dimension. We will also cut a strip of paper for the bottom of the card and use a blending brush to add some Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Oxide Ink and Rustic Wilderness and give this panel a little spatter for some added interest!

I’m creating a card to celebrate a new home….so I have selected the “Home Sweet Home” sentiment from the Ai Front Porch Set. However, keep in mind that this card could be used for many different occasions! This was stamped onto a pretty die cut label using the die from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). Once we die cut the label we can do a bit of blending using that same Tim Holtz Twisted Citron Oxide Ink and then we can add some stitched lines using a permanent black pen!

Let’s assemble the card with glue and foam squares for added dimension!
