Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-March 2025- Monochrome Color Challenge

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. 

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 a Monochromatic Color Challenge

I used the Stampin’ Up! Color Theory Wheel on page 132 of the
2024-25 Annual Catalog to select some “Color Buddies”. These are colors that are next to each other on the wheel. I chose Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock and Pretty Peacock for today’s card.

My Project for today

This card is made using several different sets of dies and stamps. Starting with the Hot Air Balloon dies found in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog, I used the heart shaped die to die cut 4 hearts in Shy Shamrock. I made a score line down the center of each heart. Then I glued them together to make a four-leafed clover. The stem is made using the heart shaped die as well.

The lattice in the background is from the Linked Together Dies in the 2025 January-April Mini Catalog. The card base and lattice are Shaded Spruce cardstock.

Next I used the banner die from Birthday Celebration (Mini Catalog) and Basic White cardstock. The sentiment comes from the Country Flower Stamp set (Annual). It was the only sentiment I could find with the word “lucky”. I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink.

The design for the inside of the card is made with the small heart stamp in the Choose Happy stamp set (Annual). I wrote the sentiment myself with the Stampin’ Write Markers in Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock and Pretty Peacock.

The embellishments are the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems in the Annual Catalog. The gold ribbon is an Online Exclusive.

And of course, what is a St. Patrick’s Day card without a little Wink of Stella!

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. Each month this group of creative friends prepare a project for a theme. 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 amazing projects!

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 108 is the theme for this month.

Happy Hibiscus for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-December 2024

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts Blog. Today I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop Demonstrators with my Happy Hibiscus card. It is the last hop of 2024! You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to join the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

Some of the Stampin’ Up! products I used for this colorful card are a sneak peek of what is in the 2025 January to April Mini Catalog! Specifically, the Bloom Impression 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and Sunny Day Iridescent Dots which will be available for purchase on January 7, 2025! If you are in need of a catalog, be sure to let me know in the comments.

This month the Ink & Inspiration Challenge is a Sketch challenge. I was inspired by the sketch and wanted to use something other than the square and rectangle shapes. I chose the Happy Hibiscus Bundle from the Online Exclusives since the flowers were large enough to substitute for the squares and rectangle in the sketch. Also, I really enjoy coloring with the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers! It is so fun to blend the colors together!

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Happy Hibiscus
  • Dies: Happy Hibiscus Hybid Dies
  • Embossing Folder: Happy Hibiscus Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder
  • Ink: Memento Black Ink Pad
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Lemon Lolly Combo Pack, Calypso Coral Light, Poppy Parade Combo Pack, Melon Mambo Combo Pack, Pretty in Pink Combo Pack & a Color Lifter.
  • Embellishments: Sunny Day Iridescent Dots and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush
  • Ribbon: Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon

Instructions

  1. Use the Memento Black Ink to stamp the images of the flowers & leaves onto the Basic White cardstock. Also stamp the sentiment onto the Peach Pie cardstock.
  2. Color as desired. I used the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. You could use the Blends, the Watercolor Pencils or the Stampin’ Write Markers. Have fun!
  3. Use the Happy Hibiscus Hybid Dies and Hybrid 3D Embossing Folder to cut & add dimension to the stamped flowers. It does take a little practice to use this. I recommend practicing on images stamped in Memento Ink on scrap paper first. Watch the following video on how to use the Hybrid Dies & 3D Embossing Folder.
  1. Die cut the Peach Pie cardstock flowers & the Shy Shamrock cardstock leaves.
  2. Use the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers to add some color to the center of each of the Peach Pie cardstock flowers.
  3. Use two sizes of hole punches to make the Lemon Lolly cardstock flower centers. Adhere the centers to the middle of each of the Peach Pie cardstock flowers. Add some Wink of Stella to each flower.

Assembling the Card

  1. Wrap a 6″ piece of the Peach Pie Ribbon around the Bloom Impressions panel. Secure with Mini Glue Dots. Tie a bow and adhere to the far right. I use a combination of the Mini Glue Dots and Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that the bow will stay on more securely.
  2. Adhere the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper panel with the ribbon around it to the front of the Basic White cardstock card base.
  3. Adhere the strips of Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper to the inside of the card base as shown below.
  1. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the lower left-hand corner of the card front.
  2. Adhere the die cut Shy Shamrock cardstock leaves to the back of the stamped & colored flowers. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the 3 flowers to the card front. Add some Wink of Stella to each flower.

  1. Adhere the stamped & colored leaves to the small flower for the inside. Then use the Tombow Glue to adhere the flower & leaves to the lower right-hand corner of the inside.

  1. Use the Mini Glue Dots and a little Tombow Glue to adhere the Peach Pie Cardstock die cut flowers.
  2. Finish the card front by adding the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots.

¡Voila!
