Welcome! Thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts! I am Theresa, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. Today is the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop! I am excited to be hopping with such talented demonstrators today. Today is a Sketch Challenge! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects. For my project, I used the Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Bundle. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.
I chose the Garden Meadow Bundle because I love gardening! Flowers are my favorite! I love to play in the dirt! Somehow that is very grounding.
And living in the desert, I am able to see a lot of wildlife. There are two varieties of quail visiting my garden daily.

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 Worldon 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 1-2-3/A-B-C. The following Stadium Wave Baby Card is my interpretation of this challenge.
Have you ever wanted to make a handmade card that will “Wow!” everyone? The Stadium Wave Baby Card will do just that! The following step-by step instructions will guide you. If you have any questions or if the instructions are not clear, please leave me a comment.
My Project for today
This card was made using Stampin’ Up!® products available in my Online Store HERE. There is also a detailed, photographic, clickable supply list at the very end of the blog.
When I first started thinking about the 1-2-3/A-B-C Challenge, I was thinking about the alphabet blocks from childhood. Then I happened upon the Stadium Wave Card! I felt it was perfect for this challenge.
The Cutest Onsie stamp and die set made the Stadium Wave Baby Card a lot of fun to make.
I wanted to use bright colors and found the Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper was just right-using the watercolor background on the backside.

To explain how to put the Stadium Wave Card Mechanism together, I used a craft cardstock template.
First, score on the dotted lines and cut on the solid lines. The six strips will become the Stadium Wave Mechanism.
Fold each strip so that you see a “w” as shown.
Apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the right side of the “w” and adhere. Make all six pieces.
The dotted line is for demonstration purposes and you do not need to write on your strips. With the “w” side on the bottom, apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the left one-half of the front of the folded strip. Adhere another folded strip to the first one as shown.
Continue to adhere the folded strips together until all six are adhered.
Placing the Stadium Wave Mechanism in the Card
Adhere the Daffodil Delight cardstock with the corresponding Designer Series Paper layer for the front of the card, to the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock card front.
Adhere the two 4″ x 5 1/8″ pieces of the Full of Life Designer Series Paper to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock card base.
To add the Stadium Wave Mechanism, have all of the “w” sides on the bottom. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the back of the last folded strip on the bottom right. Position in the center of the Designer Series Paper panel with the top edge just below the top of the Designer Series Paper.
Apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the top of the strip on the left. Close the card, lining up the bottom edges. Wait 10 seconds. Open and “Wow!” You have the Stadium Wave!
Decorating with the Onsies
Cut six onsies from different colors of paper using the watercolor background side of the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. Cut the letters to spell B-A-B-Y from the corresponding colors of cardstock. Adhere the letters to the onsies. Stamp a heart on the first and last onsie.
Place a Stampin’ Dimensional on the portion of the mechanism above the score line as shown. Add some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the upper half of the back of the onsie to adhere the first onsie to the back of the card front. Be sure the onsie is not sticking out the sides or top. (arrows)
Place a Stampin’ Dimensional above the score line on the remaining pieces of the mechanism. Adhere the onsies in order to spell B-A-B-Y. The last onsie will need to be carefully placed so it does not stick out the sides or bottom (arrows). The last onsie is only adhered by the Stampin’ Dimensional.
Use the Berry Burst Ink to stamp the inside sentiment on the Basic White cardstock. Die cut with the Nested Essentials Die. Adhere to the inside of the card.
Final Touches
Adhere 10″ of the Iridescent Striped Ribbon to the center of the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock belly band. Wrap the belly band around the card so it is snug but not too tight. The band should move up and down. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Berry Burst cardstock scalloped oval (Unbounded Love Dies) to hide the end of the Lemon Lime Twist band.
Use Berry Burst Ink to stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Die cut with the die from the Unbounded Love Dies. Adhere to the Berry Burst cardstock scalloped oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add the little rattle and the bow. Add the Iridescent Faceted Gems to the rattle and the card front.
Slide the decorated belly band up from the bottom of the Stadium Wave Baby Card, and Voila!
