Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!

I have been wanting to do some envelope art for a very long time and therefore, I was so thrilled and inspired by the current Ai “It’s in the Mail” Blog Challenge. This challenge is to create something in the postal genre’ by using your envelope dies, GC holder or MB envelopes, use mailboxes or create a matching envelope for a card.

For the frame images we will be using the Frameworks Stamp Sets #1 (5420) and Set #2 (6026). These sets have several pretty frames that are perfect for your envelope art! They create a great space for your name and address information.

We will also select some flower stamps from the Ai My Hope Set (5936) and the Ai His Love Set (6150).

But first, let’s create our own envelopes using some 90lb watercolor paper. I chose this paper for its lighter weight and the ability to watercolor our images very easily. The We R Makers Envelope Board has been around for a very long time, but it is perfect for creating your own personalized envelopes. You can use your pattern papers for this process as well. I will show you exactly how to use the punch board in today’s video. I’ll also show you how to easily create a pretty paper liner for each of the envelopes!

Now that our envelopes are made let’s begin by stamping a flower image onto the envelope and then we will stamp it again onto some masking paper and fussy cutting the masked image with your detail scissors. This entire process is much easier if you use your stamp positioning tool.

Now place this mask over the floral image and grab your favorite framework stamp. Go ahead and stamp the frame. Now you can remove the mask and it will look as though the floral image was always part of the frame image!

Let’s color the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lemon Yellow, Yellow, Br Yellow, Lt Pink, Wine Red, English Lavender, Deep Violet, Lt Green, Deep Green.

To highlight the center of the frames a bit more we will ink blend some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink into the center of the frames. You will want to use some Post-it Cover-up Tape around the edges of the frame before you begin ink blending.

Next, let’s spatter the envelopes with the coordinating inks to tie everything together!

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

Cute as a Button – Shaker Card!

January 1, 2026 January 1, 2026 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Art Impressions, Birthday Card, Friendship, Shaker Card, Valentine Cards No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!

I’m really excited to be the featured artist for the next wonderful Ai Blog Challenge. This new “Button Up” Challenge is asking us to use real buttons, or images with buttons, patterned papers with buttons, or even a button die, which we will be using today!

We will be creating some cute little shaker windows for our baby pandas and a wonderful cake! This card can be used for Valentine’s Day, Birthday, or a Friendship card!

To begin, we will stamp, die cut, and color the images. For the coloring we will be using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Wine Red, Oatmeal, Dk Oatmeal, Lt Gray, Dk Gray.

Now we can create the cute sweater background using a wonderful stencil from Lawn Fawn and some pretty Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink in Kitsch Flamingo. Once the panel is stenciled, we can add a darker pink color around the edges using the Simon Hurley Ink Pad in Prom Queen. That will frame this panel nicely. For some added interest we will spatter this panel with the Tim Holtz Distress Spritz in Kitsch Flamingo and that same Prom Queen ink.

Next, let’s stamp three dotted circles from the Ai Frameworks Set 2 (6026) and then using the Ai Nested Circle Dies (5726) we can die cut a circle in the center of each of the dotted circles. These circles will allow us to create three little circle shakers on the front of the card!

I’ll show you exactly how to create the shaker portions of this card in today’s video. We will add some pretty Pink & Main Confetti to each of the shaker pockets using Prom Dress, Diamond, Christmas Red. I’ll also show you a little trick for easily lining up the shaker element to your card!

We can attach the shaker panel to a square card base. Let’s also add a sentiment that says, “You’re the BEARY BEST!” which will be stamped onto some black cardstock and embossed with white embossing powder and die cut as a banner using the Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543). We can also stamp another small “Sending Love!” sentiment onto the card front.

Now we will create a pretty twine bow using the Lawn Fawn Dusty Rose Hemp Twine. To this bow we will add a cute little button. This button will be die cut from the Ai Sew Mini Dies (5326) and inked with that same Prom Queen ink so that everything will match perfectly! I layered several buttons dies together for a thicker, more realistic button. We can add a few white polka dots to this button using a white gel pen.

Let’s attach the button to our pretty bow and then add this to the banner sentiment. We can pop-up the sentiment banner with some small 3D foam squares for added dimension.

For a finishing touch, lets add some glaze to the heart on the cake and a bit of glitter, and also a few sprinkles using our black gel pen.

By adding just that one simple button we have really added some fun, sweet dimension and interest! Don’t forget to join us in this fun challenge…we would love to see what you create!
