Hello and welcome! “Let’s Take A Walk” with Autumn Leaves! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Craft. Today I have the pleasure of participating in the Blog Hop with Around the World on 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. “Lets Take a Walk” is this month’s theme.
My Project for today
When I was about 4 years old, I lived in the country in Pennsyvania USA. My Mom & I would go for a daily walk down the tree-lined dirt road. The image on the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper brings me back to this time period. We each had a pram. My little brother was in my Mom’s pram. I had a collection of Black Walnuts and Roly-Polies in mine! Lol!
Project Details
This card was made using Copper Clay, Daffodil Delight and Cajun Crazed colored cardstock. The sentiment is embossed in Copper Emboss Powder onto a Very Vanilla cardstock. The sentiment is diecut with a die from the He’s All That Dies. The card is embellihed around the sentiment with the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.
The inside panels are cut with the Deckled Rectangle Dies.
The AWOW Team
Each month this group of creative friends prepare a project for a theme. Below is an image of all of the 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 amazing projects!
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. We all love sharing joy with you through projects from our individual parts of the world. I hope that you will be filled with lots of inspiration!
Hello! Welcome to the Kylie & Bruno Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for September 2023. I’m Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts & I have an Abundant Beauty Thank You card today. Abundant Beauty is a set of Decorative Masks (stencils). For this card I used the leaf mask.
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 to help me make my customer Thank You cards. When you place an order with me, I will send one of the cards to you!

Instructions
Secure one of the Very Vanilla cardstock 4″ x 5 1/4″ panels to a piece of scrap paper with a repositionable adhesive.
Secure the leaf mask over top with sticky note tape.
Gently blend the Daffodil Delight Ink first. Start in the middle with a small circular motion. Or start around the edge. You will then blend progressively darker ink away from the Daffodil Delight Ink.
Blend in the Pumpkin Pie Ink, then Copper Clay Ink and finally Cajun Craze Ink.
Carefully remove the mask and bring to the sink to rinse off with water before using it again.
Secure the 3/4″ x 5″ strip to the scrap paper. Secure the leaf mask over top. Blend with the Blending Brushes as you did before, but use a lighter touch.
Use the Copper Clay Ink to stamp the sentiment “I’m Thankful” on the 2 1/4″ x 3″ Very Vanilla cardstock.
Stamp the “For all you do” in Pumpkin Pie Ink on the very edge of the same Very Vanilla cardstock. Use your trimmer to cut a thin strip with the sentiment on it.
Die cut the “I’m Thankful” sentiment with the Autumn Leaves Dies.
Adhere the layers to the card front.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
Make a bow with the Crumb Cake Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack.
Add some Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

Today I have an awesome Trucking Along Bundle Slit Slider Birthday Card!
Welcome and thanks 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 talented demonstrators from around the world. Be sure to check out everyone’s Fun Fold projects. The Trucking Along Bundle is an Online Exclusive and is not found in any catalog. You may order from my Online Store HERE.
Today’s Blog Hop is a Fun Fold Hop. Each of us is demonstrating a different Fun Fold. I first learned about the Slit Slider Card from Tina Hamp, who learned it from Julie Davidson. Tina made a Slit Slider Card with the Legendary Ride motorcylcle set. Julie did a cute Slit Slider Card with an octopus. Julie has a video demonstrator of her card HERE.
Measurements
Early Espresso cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 1/2″ & 4 1/2″
Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 3/4″ x 3″ (mechanism)
One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP): 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Supplies
Trucking Along stamp set & punch
Beside Me stamp (Celebrating You Today sentiment)
Peaceful Moments stamp (Happy Birthday sentiment)
Ink: Memento Black & Early Espresso
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Pecan Pie, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Azure Afternoon, Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Gray Granite and Color Lifter
Adhere the designer series paper to the Early Espresso card base.
Make a circular finger notch at the midline of the DSP panel on the left. (Use the Circle Dies or the retired 1″ circle punch)
Place the Early Espresso card base in your trimmer at the 1 1/2″ mark, with the 1/2″ score line to the left.
Make a cut from 3/4″ down to 4 3/4″.
Stamping
Use Memento Ink to stamp the pick up truck on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the “Farm Fresh” sentiment on the door.
Color with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired.
Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment on the Basic White cardstock for the inside. Punch a hole in the midline near the left edge for the ribbon. Thread the ribbon through the hole. Tip: this ribbon frays easily so I used a lighter to melt the ends.
Stamp “Celebrate You Today” to straddle the slit and so that it will hide behind the pick up truck.
Putting it Together
Take out the 3/4″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock strip. Add a strip of the Adhesive Foam Strips to the bottom as close to the edge as possible. This is the mechanism for moving the pick up.
Slide the strip into the slit, up underneath until the strip of Foam Adhesive Strips is close to the slit.
Flip this over.
Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue (or Tear & Tape) to 2/3 of the top of the Basic White cardstock strip.
Adhere the Basic White cardstock with the Happy Birthday sentiment to the strip by laying it in position to cover the panel. Be sure the Happy Birthday is on the back to the right.
Fold the Early Espresso cardstock on the score lines. Use a strip of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ flap. Fold the top panel down over the 1/2″ strip and secure it.
Flip over to the front. Adhere the pick up to the mechanism.
Add the Wink of Stella to the snow drifts.
Add the Iridescent Rhinestones as desired.
