Christmas Party Favor Boxes!

December 11, 2024 December 10, 2024 by PinkWhisperDesigns in Holiday Cards, Home, Party Favor No Comment

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Let’s have some fun today creating one of my favorite projects which is to create party favor boxes! We will be using the Ai Mini Journal Box Dies (5805) to create these festive little boxes. This die set was designed to create a box for your mini journals and that set is the Ai Mini Journal Template Dies (5718). However, I thought it would be fun to use it as a favor box today!

I previously used this same die set to create and Elegant Party Favor Box using Texture Paste and Stenciling that I will link below for you if you would like to take a look at that video!

Let’s go ahead and die cut the boxes using some 100lb Kraft Cardstock. We can also die cut the pretty borders using the two different border dies that are included in the set. We will die cut the borders and an insert for the inside of the box from some pretty red paper from the Ai Valentins Paper Pack (5741). We will also cut the label die from the top of the box to create a little window. We can glue on the borders and panel for the bottom of the box and then cut a piece of acetate for the window opening and glue this in place as well.

Let’s set those aside to dry while we stamp, color, and die cut some candy canes and holly w/ berries from the Ai Christmas Mice Set (5459). We will color in the images using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, May Green, Dark Green, Deep Red Grape, Geranium Red, Lt Gray.

We can assemble the boxes using some 1/4″ double-sided tape. Once they were assembled, I thought they needed a little bit of spattering in some white ink for a snowy look! You may want to do this before you assemble the box.

Now we can add the candy canes and holly with some 3D Foam Squares.

Let’s go back to that same paper pack and cut some paper strips to cover our chocolates. We can quickly wrap the candies and add a bit of green/white twine and tie a bow.

I hope you got inspired to create some favor boxes of your own…who doesn’t love to receive chocolates!

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!!!
