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.
Measurements
Lemon Lime Twist cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 3/8″ and 5 5/8″
Lemon Lime Twist cardstock stadium mechanism: 6″ x 10″ scored at 4″, 8″, 8 3/4″ and 9 1/2″ with paper in landscape orientation, then turned 90 degrees to portrait orientation and cut at 1″ 2″, 3″, 4″ and 5″
Full Of Life Designer Series Paper: enough to cut out 6 onsies, one at 3 3/4″ x 5″ (front) and two at 4″ x 5 1/8″ (inside)
Pretty in Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue cardstock to cut out “B-A-B-Y” with the Alphabet a la Mode Dies.
Basic White cardstock: 3″ x 3 1/2″ (for inside sentiment die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies) and 1″ x 2 3/4″ for the sentiment (die cut with the Unbounded Love Dies)
Berry Burst cardstock: 2 1/4″ x 2 3/4″(for the die cut behind the sentiment cut with the Unbounded Love Dies)
Supplies
Cutest Onsie stamp and die Bundle
Alphabet a la Mode Dies
Nested Essential Dies
Unbounded Love Dies
Ink: Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel and Pumpkin Pie
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!

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. Be sure to check out everyone’s projects using different Embossing Techniques. The projects could be using embossing folders or projects using embossing powder or embossing paste. Lots of wonderful possibilities!
There are some Embossing Techniques that I used for this card today and I will include a few tips.
Measurements
Summer Splash cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ (10.5cm x 29.7cm scored at 14.85cm)
Summer Splash cardstock: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ (10cm x 14.4cm)
Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ (9.3cm x 13.7cm) inside and 2 1/4″ x 4″ (5.7cm x 10cm) sentiment
2024-2026 Glimmer Specialty Paper in Summer Splash: 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (3.5cm x 14.4cm)
Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper in Summer Splash: 3″ x 5 1/4″ (9.6cm x 14.4cm)
If you are new to using Embossing Powders-Welcome! You will be amazed at how fun it is to see the embossing powder change-it’s magical! For basic embossing and most embossing techniques you will need:
Stampin’ Up! has two awesome embossing powder collections. You can click on the image above or order from my Online Store HERE.
Check out this fun Embossing Technique below!
Instructions
Using an Embossing Folder to Emboss Cardstock
First emboss the Summer Splash cardstock with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. TIP: Spritz the cardstock so that the paper is slightly damp in order to get the best 3D look after you emboss it. Set aside.
Embossing the Sentiment
Die cut the 2 1/4″ x 4″ (5.7cm x 10cm) Basic White cardstock with the third from the smallest rectangle die in the Everyday Details Dies.
Very Important TIP: Use an anti-static tool on the cardstock prior to using embossing powder. This avoids having the embossing powder stick to anything except your stamped image/sentiment.
After using the anti-static tool, stamp the sentiment and the sun rays with Versamark Ink. Versamark is an ink that is also an adhesive so the embossing powder will stick to it.
Sprinkle the embossing powder over the Versamark. Shake off the excess into a plastic container or onto a coffee filter. TIP:The coffee filter will not have as much static as paper, so the powder can easily be returned to the container.
TIP: After embossing, use a small paintbrush to remove any extra embossing powder before using the Heat Tool.
Turn on the Heat Tool and wait about 10 seconds for it to warm up.
TIP: Hold the Heat Tool about 4-6 inches (10-15cm) away from the cardstock. Heat the back first for about 10 seconds. Then heat from the front, moving the heat around until the embossing powder melts (turns).
TIP: As soon as the embossing powder turns (here’s the magic!) remove the heat from that area. Overheating can cause the image/sentiment to not look as crisp.
TIP: After the entire image/sentiment has turned, allow it to cool. The embossing powder is basically melted plastic and will stick to your skin and burn you if you touch it before it has cooled. (Ask me how I know!)
Use a microfiber cloth to remove any excess powder.
Inside of the Card-Embossing
Now for the Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card. Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment from the Thoughout the Year stamp set in Versamark. Emboss with the Silver Embossing Powder same as above. Heat & cool.
Stamp the butterfly from the Happiest Day stamp set in Versamark Ink onto the right lower corner of the inside card piece. Heat. Cool.Adhere this piece to the inside panel of the Summer Splash cardstock card base.
Embossing Technique- Embossing the Edge of the Paper
Now for a fun Embossing Technique!
Tear the right side of the long edge of the Summer Splash Glimmer Paper and Thoughtful Design Specialty Paper.
Use the Versamark Ink pad to dab Versamark onto the torn edge.
Dip the edge in the Silver Embossing Powder that is in a plastic container or shake a bit out onto just the edge. Shake off the excess powder. Use the Heat Tool the same as above. Cool.
Repeat with the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.
Assembling the Card
Adhere the torn and embossed Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper to the Summer Splash cardstock embossed with the Fern 3D embossing folder.
Adhere the torn and embossed Summer Splash Glimmer Paper to the left of the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to hold one end of the Silver Trim to the back of the card piece. Wrap around three times and secure to the back with another Mini Glue Dot.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the card piece to the front panel of the Summer Splash cardstock card base.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.
Embellish the card front with the Metallic Gems as desired.
Voila!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is a sketch challenge this month. The image inspired me and I immediately saw the possibility of a Fun Fold. I really love to figure out new ways to make a card!
I absolutely love coffee! There are so many good memories related to relaxing with a cup of delicious coffee. For this Fun Fold card I used two stamp sets- Latte Love & Coffee with Friends. You can find Coffee with Friends in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-26 Annual Catalog. The Latte Love is an Online Exclusive.
Each of these stamp sets has images that can be used for a multitude of handmade cards. I chose the women sitting on the steps with her cup of coffee because it reminded me of myself. I love to contemplate life with a hot cup of rich savory coffee!
There are several great dies to accompany the Latte Love stamp set. I only used the outline of the cup.
The “A Little Latte” Designer Series Paper is so fun with several designs!
Thinking about possibilities for Sketch 105 led to the creation of this unique Fun Fold.

Ink: Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad and Stampin’ Write Markers in Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lolly and Granny Apple Green
Embellishments: Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Ribbon: Iridescent 1/2″ Striped Trim
Instructions
Die cut all of the pieces.
Emboss the Basic White cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Adhere the Lemon Lolly cardstock hexagon to the embossed Basic White cardstock. Cut a 6 1/2″ piece of the Iridescent Striped Trim. Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere to the back of the embossed cardstock. Adhere the embossed Basic White cs to the front of the Basic White cardstock card base.
Use the Stampin’ Write Markers to apply ink to the flower images on the stamps. Use the side of the brush tip to get an even layer of ink on the stamp. Huff on the stamp to moisten it, then stamp the image on the Basic White cardstock.
Adhere the inside Basic White cardstock card piece to the inside of the Basic White cardstock card base.
Adhere the Blueberry Bushel cardstock scalloped hexagon to the Basic White cardstock hexagon. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere this to the card front.
Also use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the small Basic White cardstock hexagon with the stamped flower image on it to the center of the underlying larger Basic White cardstock hexagon.
Use the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad and stamp the sentiment onto the Basic White cardstock. Use Paper Snips to fussy cut the sentiment. Apply small pieces of the Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment and adhere to the card front.
Embellish with the Rhinestone Basic Jewels as desired. I actually had a bow and another rhinestone on this card. Somehow, between finishing the card and photographing it, the rhinestone and bow fell off. Oh well! Lol!
Voila!
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed my project. You will be inspired when you visit all the blogs in the Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop!

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 for the Adventures of Benji!
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. The Adventures of Benji is this month’s theme.
Today’s hop is special because of Benji. Benji is Angie’s little Shih Tzu. He is her stamping and walking buddy. He is so full of personality! He will want Angie to carry him after a short walk, but he loves to run and play soccer! He also loves cheese, eggs, popcorn and anything with butter.
Angie promised Benji she would take him on a trip around the world- so here he goes!
First he is going to travel to the coast of California from where I am in Bisbee Arizona. He is going by submarine up to British Columbia Canada to visit Lori Wilcox. Hense, the inspiration for my card!
My Project for today
Before Benji could board the sub, the scene needed to be created. The Submarine Life Bundle is the perfect choice as there are many sea creatures so that Benji will have some friends to make along the way! This card has Craig the crab and Ollie the Octopus on the front panel.
On the inside panel are Gertrude the Guppy and her five little fishies- Gary, Geraldine, Glenda, George and Gregory. And don’t forget Sandy the Starfish!
Here is the template for this fun fold card. I hope you enjoyed the card and the story that went along with it!
To add a little Bling! I used the new 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in Shaded Summer.
The AWOW Team

And such a talented and wonderful group of people! You will want to visit everyone to be sure to see all the amazing projects!
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 from Benji’s Adventures. I know I sure was!

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. Sketch 106 is this month’s challenge.
I turned the sketch around to fit my idea.
My Project for today
This card was made using the Spotlight on Nature Bundle. The stamp set is just beautiful. The dies are a series of layering circles with different borders.
I wanted to showcase the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper. For this card, each of the five new In Colors were chosen in a different pattern of the Designer Series Paper. The 2024-26 In Colors are: Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop.
