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

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

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 the unique and awesome work of Mikaela Titheridge from The Crafty Oink Pen.

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.

The AWOW Team

I am so glad you have joined me today in this worldwide hug that stretches all the way from Australia to Alaska across twelve different time zones. Below is an image of the whole crew and where they are from around the globe. Such a talented and wonderful group of people! You will want to visit everyone to be sure to see all the fabulous projects!

We all love sharing the joy of creating with you through projects from our individual parts of the world. I hope that you will be filled with lots of inspiration!
