Mini Christmas Twister w/ Layering Stencil Background!

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!!!

**New Release** Mousey Christmas – Edge-to-Edge Shaker Card!

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch Video tutorial here!!!

Bonnie at Art Impressions has done it again! She has created the most adorable Christmas stamp set with the most adorable mice. This brand new set is called “Mousey Christmas (5564)” and includes three little festive mice and all of the coordinating sentiments to make a super fun holiday card! And my favorite part…..the dies are included!!!

I thought this stamp set would be perfect for my “Pretty in Pink” challenge feature! Of course, when I found out that my feature card was to be a “Pink” theme I was so happy! As you may have figured out already….I love this color!

We will be creating an Edge-to-Edge shaker card! These are so super simple….yet have a great impact. It will look like you spent hours creating this and it truly takes no time at all! I’ll show you how to create this design and give you a few tips for adding your shaker elements. This card design is very addicting so be prepared to want to make several more!

We will use the brand new Ai Journal Template Die Set (5543) as well and this die set includes all of the dies you would need to create a beautiful journal booklet. However, there are so many dies in this set that can be used in so many different ways. We will be using the little photo corners for the four corners of the front of this card. It is a perfect way to frame this edge-to-edge shaker design. We will also use the scalloped circles from this same set for our sentiment. This set has a lot of bang for the buck…I will be using lots of different elements in the coming weeks!

We will set the scene for this card by creating a peppermint striped background with some ink blending and lots of spattering. We will spatter our background with the ink from our marker, some white acrylic paint, and some sparkly liquid stardust! Then we will inlay this pretty background into another striped background to create our peppermint stripes.

I really wanted to stay with a pink and red color theme for this card so I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in a variety of pinks, reds and grays and then I added just a touch of turquoise. The colors I used in todays video are as follows: Lt Pink, Wine Red, Turquoise Green, Beige, Mid Brown, Lt Gray, Warm Gray 3, Warm Gray 4.

Once our image is colored in we can die cut it and then we can assemble our shaker pocket. We will fill it with some pretty hearts, sequins, and snowflakes!

Let’s attach this pocket to a pretty pink top folding card base and add a fun sentiment to the inside of the card for a finishing touch!
