Hello fellow stampers! You are visiting with Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. There are several of us- you will find the list to follow the hop at the end of my blog post.
The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the feeling of warmth and peace in the image. I could picture myself relaxing on the beach with the waves rolling in. The colors were also very inspirational and add to the feeling of peace and warmth.
I had the idea of using the Window Sheets to stamp some palms on in black to be in the shade. This created a feeling of depth to my card. I had never used the Window Sheets in this way. It was very fun to create something different! The images are from the Paradise Palms stamp set.
Here is how the card looks with the Window Sheet layer opened up. Several colors were used to create the scene. These included Tahitian Tide, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Mango Melody. The colors were applied with the Blending Brushes.

Seaside Bay Emboss Resist Thank You Card
Instructions
Step 1- Emboss the Watercolor Paper
Using the Versamark Ink stamp the images onto the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
Stamp two images, then cover them with the White Emboss Powder. Shake off the excess.
Use the Heat Tool to set.
Stamp two more images and repeat.
That way you can see where you stamped to avoid stamping on top of another image.
Step 2- Emboss Resist Technique
Prepare several layers of paper towels to work on.
Squeeze each of the colored ink pads to get ink on the inside of the lid. Open & set up in a line above the paper towels.
Use the Stampin’ Spritzer to spray water on the embossed Watercolor Paper. The water beads up on the paper.
Use the Water Painter to pick up ink from the lid.
Brush the ink onto the moist Watercolor Paper one color at a time.
TIP: In between colors, squeeze water from the Water Brush onto a paper towel until it runs clear.
Dry overnight. Or use the Heat Tool to speed up the drying process.
Step 3- Assembling the Card
Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Seaside Bay Dies to cut one large & one small algae from the center of the Shaded Spruce Textured Shimmer Paper. C
Cut 2 small & one large seashell from the Crumb Cake cs.
Adhere the Basic White cs to the inside of the Balmy Blue cs card base.
Adhere the Shaded Spruce Textured Shimmer Paper to the card front.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the embossed & watercolored card piece to the card front.
Adhere the large algae diecut to the bottom left corner of the card front. Adhere the small algae.
Adhere the seashells
Step 4- Bling!
First add some Wink of Stella to the seashells.

Instructions
Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Orchid Oasis Ink onto the 2 x 2 inch Basic White cs.
Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the second to the smallest stitched square die in the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the sentiment.
Adhere the Fancy Flora DSP to the Orchid Oasis cs. Then adhere the panel to the front of the Basic White cs card base.
Use glue to adhere the 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inch Orchid Oasis cs square to the sentiment at a slight angle. Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.
Now for some Bling! The Iridescent Pastel Gems come in 3 colors-Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Gold. I used 3 of the Balmy Blue gems around the sentiment to add a little sparkle!

I am so excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Two-Tone & Something Fancy Thank You card, along with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You”.
We often forget those simple words – “Thank you”. However, it really is important to show your appreciation to the people in your life who have helped you or inspired you in some way. And don’t forget those who have supported you. Be sure to send a handmade thank you card to express your appreciation often. Spread joy! We really need more joy in the world today!
Basic White card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4 x 11 inches with a score line at 5 1/2 inches
Basic White cs: 2 x 2 inches (to stamp & die cut the sentiment), 3 x 3 inches (to die-cut the stitched circle) and enough scrap to stamp all of the images on
Calypso Coral cs: 4 x 5 1/4 inches
Petal Pink cs: 1 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches (to die cut the banner) and 2 1/4 x 5 1/8 inches
Adhesives: Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin Dimensionals & Mini Glue Dots
Instructions
I recommend using the Stamparatus for Two-Step Stamping. I find it is much easier to line up the second stamp. Each flower is a Two-Step Stamp. Stamp the larger part of the flower in Petal Pink Ink first. Then stamp the detailed stamp in Calypso Coral. The small bunch of flowers is stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink first. Then stamped in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Use the Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker to draw the center of each of the Petal Pink flowers.
Next, stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Die cut the sentiment using the Something Fancy Dies.
Use the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the 2 1/2 inch stitched circle and the banner.
Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Calypso Coral cs with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder
Adhere the Cane Weave card piece to the front of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the Dandy Designs DSP to the 2 1/4 x 5 1/8 inch Petal Pink cs. Then adhere this to the left side of the card front.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
Adhere the Petal Pink cs banner. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Basic White cs stitched circle.
Place the flowers as desired. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals on some flowers. Add the leaves.
Color the White Seam Binding Ribbon with the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Marker. Tie into a bow. Adhere to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot.
Bling! Use the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Petal Pink to add Bling! to the card front.
Voila!
Experiment with different colors to see which one you like best!

Stamparatus
Memento Black Ink
Melon Mambo Ink
Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker
Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems
Scotch Tape
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Instructions
I strongly recommend using the Stamparatus for the cat. Stamping solid images is much easier when you use the Stamparatus because you can re-stamp several times to get a nice solid black color.
Cover the little heart with a piece of scotch tape before you apply the Memento Black Ink. Remove the piece of tape before stamping onto the 2 3/4 x 4 inch Basic White cs. Repeat as many times as you need to in order to get a nice black cat.
Then use the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker to apply ink to the little heart. Stamp and repeat until dark enough.
Stamp the sentiment with the Melon Mambo Ink.
Remove the paper from the Stamparatus.
Stamp the sentiment “Hi there, VALENTINE” on the inside panel of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the Dandy Designs DSP to the front panel of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the stamped cat card piece to the Flirty Flamingo cs.
Adhere the Melon Mambo card piece to the front of the card.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Flirty Flamingo cs/stamped cat card piece to the card front.
Add the Melon Mambo Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems as desired. Bling!
Voila!
This is a simple and quick Valentine’s card! Be sure to look through the Stampin’ Up! 2023 January-April Mini Catalog and place your order starting today- January 5, 2023. Round up to the next $50 so you can choose a Sale-a-bration Reward for FREE! Sale-a-bration ends February 28,2023.
