Fourth of July Patriotic Pop-up Box Card!

June 17, 2026 June 16, 2026 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Patriotic, Pop-up Card No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

Today we will be creating a super fun and patriotic card to celebrate America’s 250th! We will be creating a fun Pop-up card design with lots and lots of red, white and blue!

This card was inspired by the current Ai “Enjoy the Ride” Blog Challenge. This challenge is to include anything you can ride in your card or project. This includes bicycles, cars, trucks, trains, wagons, wheelbarrows, scooters, skateboards, boats, airplanes and anything else you can think of that you can ride on!

Let’s begin by stamping our images. The bicycle is from the Ai Cottage Charm Set (6179) and the other items including the flags, plaques, and flowers are from the Ai Front Porch Patriotic Set (5494). All of the coloring will be done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Wine Red, Carmine Red, Hazee Blue, Persian Blue, Blue, Oatmeal, Beige, Mid Brown, May Green, Green.

The Front Porch set includes all of the coordinating dies, so let’s go ahead and die cut those. And for the bicycle we will use our detail scissors to cut this out. Let’s also die cut some little picket fences using the Ai Fence Dies (4967).

Next, we will die cut the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Box Card Pop-up from some white 100lb cardstock. To decorate this box, we will use the wonderful Ai Patriotic PP (6090). I absolutely love this paper pack; it is so fun and festive!

I’ll show you in today’s video how to assemble this pop-up box. I’ll give you a few tips and tricks for easy assembly.

Once the assembly of the box is complete, we can add all of our little patriotic pieces! Let’s also add some large numbers for the 250th celebration using the Ai Lg Number Dies (5911).

Finally, we can add a little bit of interest and dimension using some clay stars in red, white and blue…of course! I am going to put this out as a cute decoration, but this will easily fold up to an A2 card size and can be easily mailed.

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

Using your Alpha & Numeric dies to create a Patriotic shaker card!

April 23, 2025 April 23, 2025 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Holiday Cards, Patriotic, Shaker Card No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s create a fun Patriotic Shaker Card today! We will be using the brand-new Ai Large Letter Die Set (5910) and Ai Large Number Die Set (5911). These large dies are perfect for creating this style of card but would also be great on your scrapbook pages and journal pages!

This card goes along perfectly with the current Ai “ABC, 123” Blog Challenge which is to use your number, or letter dies to create a unique card or project!

We will begin by creating the shaker element for the card. To do this we will be using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). We will grab the Scalloped Rectangle Die and the Window Frame Die. Let’s die cut the Scalloped Rectangle from some pretty red cardstock and a Window Frame from some bluejay cardstock.

We can assemble these two together by adding some clear acetate. Next, we can add some 3D Foam Strips and then add our cute little “Firecracker” embellishments and use some sparkly cardstock for the background panel. I will give you all of the instructions and details for the assembly in today’s video….it is quick and easy to do!

Now that the shaker element is complete, we can die cut a plaid panel for the front of the card using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). Let’s add this to a white card base!

Now we can die cut the letters to create the word “July” using some red and white striped cardstock. Let’s also die cut the number “4” out of that same red cardstock we used earlier. We will also cut a few extras out of some white cardstock, glue them together, for added dimension and interest. Next, let’s glue the letters into each of the window frame openings and add a pretty sparkly scalloped circle in the center of the card for our number.

By adding a few of the “firecracker” shaker bits to the front of the card we can bring the card together nicely!

Keep in mind that this card design would be great if you change out your papers and colors and die cut the word “baby”, “hope”, “love” or even a name! A date would also work well, such as, “2024” for a graduation, wedding date or birthday! Just have some fun!

Front Porch Patriotic Card w/ Metallic Texture Paste!

May 14, 2023 May 14, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Holiday Cards, Patriotic, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

I’ve got a brand new front porch stamp and die set to show you today! This fantastic set is the Ai Front Porch Patriotic Set (5494) and includes all of the add-on items needed to create a beautifully patriotic front porch scene! 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!

To set the scene for our card we will be creating a star filled sky using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in several beautiful blues and for some added dimension we will be using the wonderful Ranger Texture Paste in Metallic White! This paste literally goes on like butter and just adds so much texture and dimension to our starry sky!

Next we can stamp, color and die cut all of our patriotic images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Peach Pink, Carmine Red, Yellow, Smoky Yellow, Ever Green, Blue Gray, Blue, Lt Gray, Gray, Beige, Mid Brown.

For the sentiment let’s go to the Ai Christmas Sentiments Set (5566) and select “Warmest Wishes” and stamp it onto the banner from the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). This will be a great place to put the red, white and blue banner!

Let’s assemble the card and add a few sparkly stars to the pillow, mat, bucket and star!

This card is going to be great for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Veterans Day or any birthday celebrations that occur around these holidays! This is just such a great addition to the Front Porch Series….I hope you love this set as much as I do!
