  4. Place the Basic White inside card piece on the scratch paper. Position the mask and hold in place with the sticky tape.
  5. Now use the Blending Brush to gradually apply ink to the upper right and lower left corner of the Basic White cs inside.
  6. Remove the mask and rinse it off with water. Set aside to dry.
  7. Stamp the “THANK YOU” sentiment on the end of the 2 1/2″ x

  1. Die cut the Thank You with the medium sized rectangle die.
  2. Start gluing the leaf branches together on a Silicon Craft Sheet to make a longer branch to place over the thank you sentiment.
  3. Start with one long branch and several short branches to build the more full leaf branch to place under the sentiment.
  4. Use a Small Blending Brush to gradually add ink to the flowers as shown below.
  1. Glue the flowers to the top of the leaf branches.

Putting it altogether

  1. Position the leaves & flowers on the card front with the thank you sentiment in place but not adhered.
  2. Glue the leaves & flowers to the card front.
  3. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the thank you sentiment.
  4. Now for the Bling!
  5. Tie a small bow with the beautiful Metallic Ribbon. Adhere to the card front with a Mini Dimensional.
  6. Add the awesome Orchid Oasis In Color Pearls. I used 5 pearls close to the leaf arrangements.

Create the Background

Stamping

  1. Use a Sponge Dauber and the Garden Green Ink to apply ink to the head, tail and extremities of the baby sea turtle.
  2. Now use another Sponge Dauber and the Early Expresso Ink to daub ink onto the shell. Before the ink dries, coat the shell with Clear Emboss Powder. If some powder gets on the Garden Green Ink, use a dry paint brush to brush it away.
  3. Use the Heat Tool. Repeat until you have 4 turtles.
  4. Fussy cut.
  5. Use the Garden Green Ink and the 2 1/2″ x 3″ Very Vanilla cs to stamp the medium “Thank You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set on one end.

Images

  1. Use the Memento Black Ink to stamp the bird onto the 2 1/2″ x

  2. Apply the ink by moving the Blending Brush gently on the ink pad in small circles.
  3. Rub some of the ink off onto a scrap paper. Then apply the ink in small circles to the Basic White cardstock.

Tip: I have a different Blending Brush for each of the main colors (red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and brown) so I do not have to wash them in between projects.

  1. Die cut the card front oval with the trees from the 4″x 5 1/4″ Copper Clay cardstock using the Aspen Dies.
  2. Adhere the Copper Clay cardstock with the diecut trees to the Basic White cardstock with the blended ink on it using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  3. Now adhere this card piece to the front of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base.
  4. Lay the tree branch on the card front and trim. Then adhere the tree branch to the card front with the Liquid Glue.

Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop-April 2023- Nested Friends Thank You Card

Hello! Welcome to the Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for April 2023. I’m Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts & I have a Nested Friends Thank You card today. I am so glad you are joining me! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. We are taking part in training to help us build a successful Stampin’ Up! business. My goal is to participate in the monthly Blog Hop. This blog hop is full of ideas and creative inspiration! Be sure to visit everyone’s blog by clicking on the links at the end of my blog.

Today is a bittersweet day because my beloved trio of Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana & Pool Party are no more. Sadly Bermuda Bay is being retired. Soft Suede & Sahara Sand are also retiring. I really enjoyed making this card with my favorite colors.

The Nested Friends Bundle (save 10%) is available while supplies last until May 1, 2023. After that you can purchase the stamp & the dies separately without the 10% discount in the Online Exclusives.

A list of the “Last Chance” products will be at the end of this blog. Shop now as many products have already sold out.

Measurements

  • Bermuda Bay card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ with a score line at 5 1/2″

    Tip: Use your Silicon Craft Sheet so that when you apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the outer nest you will not get glue everywhere (ask me how I know!) Then use tweezers to position the outer nest to the inner nest.

3. Use the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder to emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Coastal Cabana cs.

8. Place the birds in the nest & adhere them.

9. Use a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right side of the sentiment and Liquid Glue on the left to adhere it to the card front.

Inspirations in Ink March 2023- Blending Brush Technique with Lighting the Way Bundle-Inspirational Card

Today I have a super charming and inspirational card spotlighting the Blending Brush Technique using the Lighting the Way Bundle & the Small Blending Brushes.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts! I am Theresa and I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. Today is the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop! I am excited to be hopping with awesome demonstrators from around the world. Be sure to check out everyone’s projects using different Techniques.

The Lighting the Way Bundle and Small Blending Brushes I am using today are in 2023 Jan-April Mini Catalog. You may order what you need from my Online Store HERE.

Measurements

  • Pumpkin Pie card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ (10.4cm x 29.5cm scored at 14.7cm)
  • Basic Black cs: two at 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10.1cm x 14.2cm) and 2″ x 4″
    (5cm x 10cm)
  • Basic White cs: two at 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10.1cm x 14.2cm) and 1 1/2″ x
    2 1/2″ (3.8cm x 6.4cm)
  • Silver Foil cs: 2″ x 3 1/2″ (5cm x 9cm)
  • Real Red cs: 2 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ (6.3cm x 8.2cm)
  • Mango Melody cs: 1″ x 3″ (2.5cm x 7.5cm)

Supplies

  • Lighting the Way Bundle
  • Deckled Rectangle Dies
  • Layering Circles Dies
  • Ink: So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Night of Navy
  • 4 Small Blending Brushes
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels
  • Wink of Stella
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • scrap copy paper
  • Full Stick Sticky Notes (not sold by Stampin’ Up!)

Instructions

Most important tip: Getting a nice smooth blend takes practice.

  1. Use the largest Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a rectangle from the each of the larger Basic White cs. One will be the card front & one will be the inside.
  2. Use the scrap copy paper under the card front.
  3. Die cut the lantern from the Real Red cs.
  4. Lay the Real Red cs lantern on the card front so that it is about 3/4 inch (2cm) from the bottom edge & from the left edge. Make a very light pencil mark to delineate the inside “cage” around the light.

Using the Small Blending Brushes

  1. The Small Blending Brushes make it is easier to put color in a more precise location.
  2. Start with the So Saffron Ink Pad & a Blending Brush.
  3. Tip: Hold the brush by the end away from the brush to help in applying a light pressure to the ink pad.
  4. Move the brush over the So Saffron Ink Pad in a gentle circular motion to apply ink evenly to the brush.
  5. Tip: Tap & swirl to remove extra ink. Tap the brush on a scrap paper. Make a few circles (swirl) on the scrap paper before applying the brush & ink to your project.
  6. Apply a light layer of the So Saffron Ink inside the pencil marks. The color should be barely noticeable, soft & smooth.
  7. Use the smallest smooth edge circle die & cut two layers of the Full Stick Sticky Note.
  8. Apply the top Sticky Note circle to the area inside the pencil marks over the So Saffron Ink. Erase the pencil marks.
  9. Use the same brush & the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Apply ink to the brush. Tap & swirl on the scrap copy paper first. Then apply the brush to the area around the Sticky Note in a small circles going around the perimeter of the Sticky Note.
  10. Tip: Start light & go slow. You can add more ink, but if it is too dark you’re stuck with it.
  11. You may need 3-4 layers of the Daffodil Delight Ink to get a dark color that blends and is smooth.
  12. Tip: Swirl the Small Blending Brush on the copy paper in a circular motion until the ink comes off. Now use the Mango Melody Ink Pad and apply a slightly darker ring around the very edge of the Daffodil Delight layer. Start light & repeat until you like the effect.

Blending in the Night Sky

  1. Use the Starry Sky Ink Pad and a new Small Blending Brush. Tap off ink on the copy paper after each application of ink to the brush. Darker ink colors are more challenging to get smooth.
  2. Apply ink to the 4 corners of the card front. It will be very light at first. You will need about 8-10 layers of color to get it as dark as I did.
  3. Tip: Leave a white ring between the Mango Melody and the Starry Sky layers.
  4. Blend the Starry Sky layer up to the white ring using the Orchid Oasis Ink and a new Small Blending Brush. Start blending on top of the Starry Sky layer, and move in small circles with light pressure towards the Mango Melody.
  5. Tip: Do not allow the Orchid Oasis layer to blend with the Mango Melody layer. You will get a muddy green color. (Ask me how I know!)
  6. Finish with a new Small Blending Brush & the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Apply a little color to the corners and border of the card front.

Inside of the card

  1. Blend some Mango Melody Ink on the lower right-hand corner of the Basic White cs Deckled Rectangle for the inside of the card.
  2. Blend in some Starry Sky Ink from outside the corner moving toward the Mango Melody. Try not to overlap the 2 colors.
  3. Diecut a large firefly from the Basic Black cs and the Mango Melody cs.
  4. Adhere the pieces together with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  5. Adhere flat to the lower right-hand corner.
  6. Adhere the inside card piece to the Basic Black cs layer.
  7. Adhere to the inside panel of the Pumpkin Pie cs card base.

Finishing Up

  • Remove the Sticky Note circle from the center of the “light”.
  • Stamp off in Pumpkin Pie Ink with the larger circular stamp in the Lighting the Way cling stamp set. Stamp the smaller circle with Pumpkin Pie Ink at full strength.
  • Adhere the Silver Foil portions of the lantern to the Real Red lantern. The Real Red cs lantern is the base. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the lantern to the card front over the light as shown.
  • Die cut the small fireflies from the Basic Black cs & the Mango Melody cs.
  • Trim the Mango Melody cs firefly and apply the abdomen to the Basic Black cs firefly.
  • Use Mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the small fireflies around the light.
  • Adhere the card front to the remaining Basic Black cs.
  • Now adhere the entire piece to the front panel of the Pumpkin Pie cs card base.
  • Stamp the sentiment onto the smaller Basic White cs in Starry Sky Ink. Use the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut it out. You will need to do some partial die cutting to make the sentiment the correct size.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
  • Add Wink of Stella to the wings of the fireflies on the outside & inside of the card.
  • Add the small Rhinestone Basic Jewels like stars in the sky.

Ranunculus Romance for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop- February 2023

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.

This is the challenge photo. What does it inspire you to make?

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the image because the flowers in the Ranunculus Romance stamp set are very similar to the photo. The colors were also very pretty and inspirational.

I had really wanted to use the Split Card Textures Dies. I got into my zone and just started stamping. Before I knew it, this card was created!

The Stampin’ Write Markers are great for applying ink to this red rubber stamp. The images of the flowers were easy to do by using the Stamparatus. That way if I missed a spot, I could reapply the ink and stamp a second time.

One of my favorite ribbons in the whole catalog is the White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. This ribbon can be colored to coordinate with your card. Soft Suede Ink was applied with a Blending Brush until I had the off white color.
