Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-July 2025- Tic Tac Toe and CASE with Gallery Blooms

Posted on July 9, 2025July 8, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW).

2025 marks a special milestone. We are celebrating 5 fabulous years of creative inspiration together! In order to honor the occasion, we are CASEing (Copy and Selectively Editing) one of our talented members each month. This month we are happy to focus on Aurélie Fabre.

The AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. Tic Tac Toe is this month’s theme.

I chose shadow, circle and texture from the Tic Tac Toe. Aurélie’s style is know for texture, techniques and layers. This made creating a card to CASE hers loads of fun!

My Project for today

This card was made using the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Dies. I used the Stampin’ Blends in: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral and Peach Pie.

The leaves and flowers are die cut with the Gallery Bloom Dies from the Beautiful Gallery DSP.

The Pecan Pie cardstock circle is die cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

The vintage-style is created by using a Sponge Dauber to apply Pecan Pie Ink to the edges of the DSP on each panel.

Silly Safari for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-June 2025

Posted on June 26, 2025June 25, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow crafters and stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

This is my Silly Safari Birthday card created using Sketch 109.

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is a sketch challenge this month. I just returned from a week long scrapbook retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona entitled Jurassic Camp. I was feeling light and silly so the Silly Safari stamp set came to mind. I was inspired by the image because the long neck of the giraffe could easily fit on the banner in the sketch.

Supplies

Stamp Set: Silly Safari
Punches: 1 7/8″ & 2 1/4″ circle punches
Ink: Granny Apple Ink Pad & Memento Tuxedo pad
Embellishments: Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems
Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Darling Duckling
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Pecan Pie, Ivory, Darling Duckling, Light Pretty in Pink, Timid Tiger & Gray Granite

This card definately took on a very silly tone when creating the inside!

¡Voila!

So no matter how hard you try to keep it all under control, you just have to let loose and Go Wild!

Have a most wonderful day!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-June 2025- Out of the Box Challenge with Florals in Bloom

Posted on June 11, 2025June 10, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW).

The AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. “Out of the Box” is this month’s theme because Mikaela often uses projects in a new and unique way. I chose one of Mikaela’s unique cards to CASE.

I also got some inspiration from a card done by Stamptastic Designs.

My Project for today

This card was made using several different stamp sets: Pretty Florals, Trusty Tools, Terrific Toadstools and Simply Said. The focus is really on the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. I am so in love with this patterned paper! Each design is just wonderful!

When I saw Mikaela’s card with the torn paper, I knew that I wanted to make one too. I did mine a little bit differently. Instead of having a front panel, I have a split card front.

I made a second card as I was having so much fun tearing paper! Here is the other version.

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-May 2024- Seasons with Gallery Blooms

Posted on May 14, 2025May 13, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW).

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. “Seasons” is this month’s theme.

We are also focusing on team member Cheryll Miller. This month I am using a technique that Cheryll used on a beautiful card she posted on her blog in February 2025.

Cheryll’s card is the green and gold one on the left. I was inspired by the verdigris look of her card, which gives the card an antique appearance. The season I chose was Spring/Summer. I wanted to try the technique using pinks and copper embossing instead.

I love the season between spring and summer because it is a lot cooler here in Arizona. There are so many vivid cactus flowers that are blooming and it’s actually comfortable to be out in the sun. Of my most favorite things about the season is the emergence of the flowers. That is why I chose the flower from Gallery Blooms for the centerpiece of this card. (See some awesome Arizona catctus flower photos at the very end of this blog).

My Project for today

The technique is an Embossing Technique Cheryll called Double Embossing. Here is the process in photos.

First apply a light color of ink to the inside of the embossing folder that has the Stampin’ Up! logo on it. Then place a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock in and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Next use a Sponge Dauber to apply a medium dark ink to the raised design. Then blend the two colors using a slightly darker color with a Blending Brush. The colors here are: light – Pretty in Pink, medium- Melon Mambo and dark- Blackberry Bliss.

Finally, Use a Versamark Ink pad and gently rub along the embossing. I was a bit light on the copper embossing. If I were to try it again, I would put a little more embossing powder on it.

I did not have any copper foil. So I took a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock, and covered the edge in Versamark. Then applied Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it. This is the first layer behind the embossed layer.

For the inside of the card, blend some Pecan Pie ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut a strip from a Melon Mambo cardstock die cut with the largest rectangle in the Textured Notes Dies.

All in all, I love the look!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-April 2025 with Turtle-y Awesome

Posted on April 9, 2025April 9, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on Wednesday (AWOW) organized by Angie McKenzie.

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting.

This month’s theme is for the 5th Anniversary of Around the World on Wednesday! We are doing a Team Member Focus. We are honoring Anne Marie Hile, Stampin’ Anne, because she was very supportive in helping Angie get this all started. The goal is to choose one of Anne Marie’s cards that she has posted and C.A.S.E. (Copy And Selectively Edit) the card.

I choose Annie Marie’s cute kitty card to C.A.S.E. I was really impressed by all of the coordinating layers in this card (there are 7 layers on her card!). She also used 2 different embossing folders. She paid lots of attention to every detail. I had fun copying this style with my Turtle-y Awesome Birthday card.

My Project for today

This card was made using the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set and dies, the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder, the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper and the Shades of Green Hexagon Embellishments. These products may all be found in the 2025-2026 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog due to be released in May 2025. This is a turtle-ly terrific sneek peek!

Turtles are special to me because my Mom liked turtles. She had a collection of hundreds of little ceramic turtles she picked up everywhere she traveled. Since she passsed away in 2018, I have become even more fond of turtles.

The AWOW Team

I am so glad you have joined me today in this worldwide hug that started on April 8, 2020 and stretches all the way from Australia to Alaska across twelve different time zones.

It’s Okay for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop- March 2025

Posted on March 27, 2025March 27, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow crafters and stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts blog. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop group today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

My card is made using the It’s Okay cling stamp set!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge for March 2025 is Sketch Challenge #108. I was having a hard time with this sketch. I just wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. My card sort of happened rather that being planned. Has that ever happened to you? Ususally I sketch out my ideas first.

One type of card I like is the vintage look. I can’t say I am very good at it. I do admire other peoples vintage projects. So I tried a couple of techniques on this card.

Measurements

Crumb Cake cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ with a score
line at 5 1/2″
Crumb Cake cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Very Vanilla cardstock inside: 3 3/4″ x 5″ and 1/2″ x 2 3/4″
Shaded Spruce cardstock: 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ and scrap to stamp
2 more bunches of leaves
Petunia Pop: 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ and scrap to stamp 2 more butterflies

Supplies

Stamp Set: It’s Okay cling stamp (an Online Exclusive!)
Dies: none
Embossing Folder: Mini Corrugated 3D (another Online Exclusive!)
Ink: Shaded Spruce, Petunia Pop, Pecan Pie & Crumb
Cake Ink Pads
Embellishments: Textured Dots
Ribbon:Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon
Blending Brushes
Cut & Emboss Machine
Paper Snips
Stampin’ Dimensionals & Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
Mini Glue Dots
Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

Instructions

Stamping the Components

Stamp the butterfly onto the 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ Petunia Pop cardstock. Stamp two more butterflies onto the scrap of Petunia Pop cardstock. Fussy cut the two stamped on the scrap paper. You can cut the antennae off of one of the butterflies.
On the butterfly with the antennae remaining, use a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to darken the antennae and body. Then use the Dark Berry Burst Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Marker to make an outline around the inner wings. (see close up photos above)
Fold the fussy-cut butterflies in half. Apply two Mini Black Dimensionals to the center of the butterfly without the antennae. Adhere over the stamped butterfly on the square of Petunia Pop cardstock. Then apply glue to the center of the butterfly with the antennae. Adhere to the butterfly that has the Dimensionals on it. separate the wings for a 3D effect.
Use the edge of the Paper Snips to distress the edges of the Petunia Pop card stock square. Set aside.
Now stamp the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink onto the two
1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ Shaded Spruce cardstock squares. Then stamp another two bunches of leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink onto the scrap of Shaded Spruce. Fussy cut the two largest leaves from the scrap.
Fold the fussy-cut leaves in half. Apply glue to the center and adhere over the leaves stamped on the square of Shaded Spruce card stock. Bend the sides up for a 3D effect.
Use the edge of the Paper Snips to distress the edges. Set aside.
Use the Petunia Pop Ink to stamp the sentiment “Inhale. Exhale.” onto the strip of Very Vanilla card stock. Cut the ends at a diagonal with your Paper Snips. Set aside.

Stamping the Inside

Stamp the Very Vanilla card stock for the inside as shown below.

Adhere the inside to the inside of the Crumb Cake card stock card base.

Creating the Front Panel

Use the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the panel of Crumb Cake card stock.
With the Stampin’ Blending Brush, apply Pecan Pie Ink to the panel as desired for a vintage effect. Then use the edge of your Paper Snips to distress the edges. It is okay if the paper tears somewhat.
Flatten the Crumb Cake card stock out. Wrap 6″ of the Beige Bordered Ribbon around the middle of the panel. Secure to the back with Mini Glue Dots.

Assembling the Card

Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the corrugated panel. Adhere the panel to the front of the Crumb Cake card stock card base.
Adhere the Shaded Spruce card stock squares to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Petunia Pop card stock butterfly to the card front.
Use Mini Glue Dots and a little glue to adhere the bow.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
Finish with the Textured Dots Embellishment! Don’t forget to add Wink of Stella on the leaves and butterfly!

!Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my vintage card for the Sketch #108 Chalenge today. Leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-March 2025- Monochrome Color Challenge

Posted on March 12, 2025March 11, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. This month’s theme is a Monochromatic Color Challenge

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color Theory Wheel on page 132 of the
2024-25 Annual Catalog to select some “Color Buddies”. These are colors that are next to each other on the wheel. I chose Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock and Pretty Peacock for today’s card.

My Project for today

This card is made using several different sets of dies and stamps. Starting with the Hot Air Balloon dies found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog, I used the heart shaped die to die cut 4 hearts in Shy Shamrock. I made a score line down the center of each heart. Then I glued them together to make a four-leafed clover. The stem is made using the heart shaped die as well.

The lattice in the background is from the Linked Together Dies in the 2025 January-April Mini Catalog. The card base and lattice are Shaded Spruce cardstock.

Next I used the banner die from Birthday Celebration (Mini Catalog) and Basic White cardstock. The sentiment comes from the Country Flower Stamp set (Annual). It was the only sentiment I could find with the word “lucky”. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink.

The design for the inside of the card is made with the small heart stamp in the Choose Happy stamp set (Annual). I wrote the sentiment myself with the Stampin’ Write Markers in Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock and Pretty Peacock.

The embellishments are the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in the Annual Catalog. The gold ribbon is an Online Exclusive.

And of course, what is a St. Patrick’s Day card without a little Wink of Stella!

Seaside Wishes & Beauty of the Deep team up for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop-February 2025

Posted on February 27, 2025March 17, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts Blog. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world and get inspiration for your own projects! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Theme for February 2025

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge for February 2025 is both an image and a color challenge. I was primarily inspired by the beautiful, vibrant colors. The underwater image was intriguing.

My Card

I started to make this card by finding any sea-related stamp sets I had. I came up with Seaside Wishes and Beauty of the Deep. Seaside Wishes is still available as a bundle which includes both the dies and the hybrid embossing folder with the stamp set. The Beauty of the Deep stamp set and dies are sold separately.

Measurements

Azure Afternoon cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
Basic White cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″ (for the background), 2 1/4″ x 3″ (for sentiment), 3 3/4″ x 5″ (for inside of card) and 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (for inside strip)
Calypso Coral cardstock: enough to die cut a large coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies, one large starfish and 3 small starfish from Seaside Wishes stamp and dies, and two stamped coral from Beauty of the Deep.
Azure Afternoon cardstock: 3″ x 3″ for the large sand dollar.
Coastal Cabana cardstock: 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ for two small sand dollars.
Summer Splash cardstock: enough to stamp 5 vines of seaweed from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set.
Melon Mambo cardstock: enough to cut 3 of the stick-like coral from Beauty of the Deep dies.
Cajun Craze cardstock: enough to die cut nine of the small bush-like coral.

Supplies

Stamp Sets: Beauty of the Deep, Seaside Wishes and Layering Leaves (sentiment)
Dies: Beauty of the Deep, Seaside Wishes and Linked Together (oval for sentiment)
Embossing Folder: Seaside Wishes hybrid
Ink: Azure Afternoon, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Summer Splash and Versamark
Embossing Powder: Clear and White from the Basics Embossing Powder set
Embellishments: Two Tone Sparkle Gems and Wink of Stella
Misc.: Blending Brushes, Heat Tool, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Instructions

I started this off by stamping with the colored ink then using Clear Emboss Powder over it for the vines of seaweed, starfish, and stamped coral. I kept making the images until I had several to create with. NOTE: the short fat coral is stamped in Cajun Craze Ink onto Calypso Coral cardstock, then covered in Clear Emboss Powder and heat set.
Next I started to die cut stuff. As stated above, I die cut several of the different types of coral.
To create the sand dollar, I stamped in Versamark and used the White Emboss Powder. I then put the sand dollar through the hybrid embossing folder/dies. With my fingers I made the sand dollars curve more to give them dimension.
The background was created using the Summer Splash, Coastal Cabana and Azure Afternoon Inks with Blending Brushes. I also made a 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ inch strip to go on the inside.

Now I had numerous images to work with so I started placing them on the card base to see how it looked. Play around with your own ideas until you like what you see.
Once I had it figured out, I started gluing it down. The center of the sand dollars have 2 Stampin’ Dimensionals piled on top of each other for more dimension. The sentiment is adhered with a single layer of Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finish it up with the Wink of Stella and Two Tone Sparkle Gems!

¡Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of this color and image challenge. Stop by everyone’s Blog to see more ideas using the same colors and/or image theme. You are at Theresa McEntee-USA right now.

Have a most wonderful day!

This card was made using the Terrific Toadstool Bundle (stamp set and punch) in the Stampin’ Up! 2025 January to April Mini Catalog. During Sale-a-bration you can choose FREE product when you purchase $60 of Stampin’ Up! products. Two of the producsts are the Toadstool Garden 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper and the Fresh Fresia 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon. The card is embellished with another Freebie- the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Here is the inside of the card.

The die cut flowers and vines are from the Linked Together Dies on page 49 of the 2025 January to April Catalog. The central white circle of cardstock is die cut with one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies in the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-January 2025- This or That? Challenge with Storybook Moments

Posted on January 8, 2025January 7, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting.

This or That? is January’s theme.

Which do you like better? This or That?

My Project for today

These cards are made from the Storybook Moments Suite in the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog. I just love this Suite because I have always loved bunnies! I have a collection of miniature bunny statues, numerous bunny stuffed animals and a live bunny named Snowball.

Assembling the Cards

Both of the cards have a Misty Moonlight card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″. The 3 Basic White cardstock stitched rectangles are made with the Nested Essentials Dies, using the 3 smaller dies. The images are stamped in Memento Ink. Then colored with Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers and Watercolor Pencils.

The larger rectangle is adhered to the card base. The middle rectangle is actually 3 glued together to elevate the image slightly. The smallest rectangle with the sentiment is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The difference between the second card and the first card is layers. The second card has a layer of Fresh Freesia cardstock that has been embossed with the Eyelet Embossing Folder (available in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog).

There is another layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock cut with a die from the Citrus Blooms Dies (also available in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog). Everything else is the same as the first card.

The Antique Pearls, new in the 2025 Spring Mini Cataolg, are the embellishment. The Fresh Fresia Seam Binding is a Sale-a-bration Freebie! Sale-a-bration starts January 7, 2025 along with the debut of the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog!

Which do you like more-This? or That? Let me know in the comments.
