Easy Watercolor Technique with 3-D Embossing Folders…and Hot Foiled Sentiments!

March 4, 2023 March 4, 2023 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , , , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Today we will be creating two elegant embossed cards using a simple and easy watercolor technique!

To get started let’s take a look at the beautiful embossing folder that we will be using today which is the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions – Wildflowers.

Now we can open the embossing folder and apply some Tim Holtz Distress Ink (lighter color first) on the top portion of the folder and then we can run this through our die cutting machine. For the second card we will apply the ink to the top of the embossing folder and then spritz it with a bit of water and run it through.

For the first card we will be using a combination of the Kistch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry inks and for the second card we will be using the Scattered Straw and Abandoned Coral inks. These color combinations are just gorgeous but have some fun playing around with your favorite colors.

Next we can grab a #6 Round Brush and water to blend out the inks a little bit. Now let’s take the darker color and load the brush up with plenty of water and then pick up the darker color and apply some to the centers of the flowers and into some of the crevices of the embossing folder. You can apply as much or as little of this darker color as you like.

Now we can spatter each of these card panels with the darker color. We will use that same larger #6 brush so that we get some large spatters!

To create the sentiments we will be using the Creative Expressions “Smile” Wordies Sentiment Sheets. These sheets are loaded with sentiments and are designed to be used with your Hot Foiling System or simply used just the way they are.

In this video I will give you a few tips for foiling these sentiments. We will use the Spellbinders Glimmer Foil in Polished Brass and Silver.

Next we can assemble the card using some black cardstock to make the sentiment and the background pop out a little bit better!

Finally, let’s add a few pretty metallic gems from Pinkfresh Studio in Silver and Sparkling Champagne!

Tim Holtz Bold Text Christmas Shaker Tags w/ Holiday Mica Sprays

November 26, 2022 November 26, 2022 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today let’s create some fun interactive Tim Holtz Shaker Tags! We will be using some brand new products from the Tim Holtz Collection including the Sizzix Thinlits Framed Tags and the Sizzix Thinlits Bold Text, Christmas Dies. I absolutely love these bold text dies…they are great for your cards, journals, and tags! We will also incorporate some beautiful 3D Impresslits into our tags including the Holly Berries, Snowflakes and Poinsettia. These 3D Impresslits die cut and emboss your image at the same time!

We will start off by inking up our tags using the brand new Tim Holtz Holiday Mica Sprays in Fresh Balsam, Tart Cranberry and Winter Frost! These will look great combined with some TH Distress Oxide Sprays. I’ll show you a few different ways to combine these products together for a beautiful background!

For some added interest we will be turning these tags into shakers by adding a bit of TH Rock Candy Glitter!

Tim Holtz 3D Snowflake Gift Card Holder

December 24, 2021 December 24, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , , , , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

In todays video we will be creating some fun dimensional gift card holders! To do this, we will be using the Tim Holtz Stitched Slots Die, which is really meant to be used on your scrapbook or journaling pages. It is a great way to display a collection of tickets, photos or other ephemera. I must admit that I have had this die in my collection for quite some time and have never used it. So every now and again I like to look through my dies and use a die set that I have never used before. As I was looking at this set I thought it would be perfect for some holiday gift card holders! I will show you how to create a simple pocket for your slot die!

The beautiful snowflake is a Tim Holtz 3D Impresslits Embossing Folder. This folder not only embosses the image but also die cuts it at the same time! We will be adding some beautiful foiling to the snowflakes with just a glue pen and some Deco Foil. This is a great technique for those of you who don’t have a foiling machine and for those who just want to do some foiling in a specific area. No heat is required for this foiling technique!

We will also be doing some fun stenciling using the Tim Holtz Layering Stencils. These stencils will allow us to use two different colors for our stripes and dots. These are lots of fun to use!!!

We will add a handle for our gift card pocket using some pretty tinsel! Let’s add a few sparkly gems to finish off this project!

Elegant Sizzix 3D Poinsettia Card

December 18, 2021 December 18, 2021 by PinkWhisperDesigns in , No Comment

Hello and Welcome!

In todays video we will create this elegant card with a very dimensional poinsettia! This beautiful flower is from the Sizzix 3D Impresslits Embossing Folder! This embossing folder not only embosses the flower but also die cuts it at the same time! And….the embossing is extremely dimensional and detailed!

We will die cut this poinsettia from a pretty pink Metallic Confections Kraft-Stock from the Tim Holtz idea-ology collection. We will also emboss the card itself using the Spellbinders Detailed “Forevergreen” Embossing Folder. The beautiful pine branches on this folder will perfectly set the scene for this holiday card.

To pull this card together, we will be using the DCWV 6×6 Paper Pack in Frosted Peppermint. This paper pack is filled with lovely papers in soft pinks and reds and also includes some beautiful metallic papers as well.

We will add a large elegant sentiment and some greenery on the front and inside of the card using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlits Merry and Bright Die Set.

For a finishing touch, we will add some sparkly gems from the Pinkfresh Studios Essentials Jewel Mix!
