Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia for the Ink and Inspiration Sketch 104 Challenge Blog Hop-March 2024

Posted on March 28, 2024March 26, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

Here is my Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia card for the Sketch 104 Challenge!

Hello fellow 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 join the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge this month is a Sketch Challenge. I was already playing around with the Simply Zinnia stamp set. I had stamped a bunch of the large zinnia and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. If you haven’t tried alcohol markers yet, don’t wait any longer. The alcohol markers make coloring so fun and rewarding!

Since I already had several zinnia colored, I arranged them to correspond to the Sketch 104 Challenge. I was thrilled to see how nice they all looked together!

I love the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and but also wanted to use the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. So I decided to emboss the Designer Series Paper. It is very subtle and adds texture to the card.

Measurements

Melon Mambo cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
Basic White cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (for stamping the zinnia & leaves), 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (for sentiment)
Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper, Petal Pink polka dot design: 4 1/8 ” x 5 3/8″ (to die cut with the largest Deckled Rectangle Die & emboss with the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder)
NOTE: save the edges when you die cut the Deckled Rectangle to use on the inside of the card

Supplies

Stamp Set: Simply Zinnia
Dies: Simply Zinnia & Deckled Rectangle
Embossing Folder: Zinnia 3D
Ink: Blackberry Bliss and Memento Ink Pads
Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive & Mossy Meadow
Embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

Instructions

Fold the Melon Mambo cardstock card base at the 4 1/4″ scoreline and burnish with the Bone Folder. Set aside.
Die cut the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper with the largerst Deckled Rectangle Die. Save the edges to use for the inside of the card.
Run the Deckled Rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Zinnia Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Use Memento Ink to stamp the large zinnia three times and the leaves twice onto the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock.
TIP: Use the Heat Tool to dry the Memento Ink. Then when you use the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend, the black Memento will not bleed into the Lemon Lolly.
Color the images as desired. I usually start by coloring the shadows with a the dark shade. Then I blend it with a medium shade. And finally I blend everything with the lighter color.
Die cut the zinnias and leaves with the Simply Zinnia Dies. Set aside.
Use Blackberry Bliss Ink to stamp the sentiment onto the
1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock. Stamp in the center as you will use the whole piece.
For the inside, use the scrap from cutting the Deckled Rectangle from the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series paper and adhere it to the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock as shown below.

Assembling the Card

Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Melon Mambo cardstock card base.

Adhere the die cut and embossed Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the front of of the card.
Arrange the 3 zinnias on the card front. Adhere the top zinnia flat to the card front. Use 3 thicknesses of Basic White cardstock on the back of the middle zinnia. Then adhere the bottom zinnia with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tip: place Dimensionals in the center of the back of the zinnia so you can place the leaves more easily.
Adhere the leaves.
Use Wink of Stella on the zinnia for extra sparkle.
Embellish with the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins as desired.

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of The Sketch 104 Challenge. Be sure to visit each of the blogs below to see more ideas!

Filled with Happiness Good Day Card-Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-March 2024-March Blues

Posted on March 13, 2024March 12, 2024 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 with my Filled with Happiness Good Day Card.

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

I was really inspired by all of the beautiful blues that Stampin’ Up! has! One of the awesome characteristics of Stampin’ Up products is that they all coordinate. I did not have any trouble finding Designer Series Paper, embellishments or ribbon to go with the March Blues. I was able to color with the Stampin’ Blends to create the Filled with Happiness Good Day Card.
