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. 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.

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 or That? is this month’s theme. My project is Sunrise? or Sunset?
My Project for today
I really enjoy using the Blending Brushes and the vibrant Stampin’ Up! Inks to create the sunrise and sunset scenes.
This card was made using the Grove Dies which coordinate with the Grassy Grove stamp set. The exciting news is that these are crrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!
I really struggled with coming up wtih a This or That? for this month’s Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. I have always enjoyed playing with the Blending Brushes. I love how you can blend the inks together! Heere are photos of the sunrises and sunsets here in Arizona that I used for inspiration.

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 with my Filled with Happiness Good Day Card.
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. March Blues is this month’s theme.
I was really inspired by all of the beautiful blues that Stampin’ Up! has! One of the awesome characteristics of Stampin’ Up products is that they all coordinate. I did not have any trouble finding Designer Series Paper, embellishments or ribbon to go with the March Blues. I was able to color with the Stampin’ Blends to create the Filled with Happiness Good Day Card.

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. I hope you like my Lovely & Sweet Emboss Resist Technique card!
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 challenge is a Technique Challenge.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of”
My Project for today
This card was made using the Emboss Resist Technique. I love this technique because it turns out differently each time. I also love using embossing powder. It is so magical to see the emboss powder change when you heat it up!
The Lovely & Sweet stamp set is a set of sketched botanical images. I really liked the image of the almond plant so I used it for my Technique Challenge.
Instructions
Embossing
Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. First use the Embossing Buddy to remove the static. Stamp the image in Versamark Ink.
Sprinkle the White Emboss Powder over the ink and shake off the excess.
Use a small paint brush to remove any embossing powder that is not supposed to be there.
Use the Heat Tool to heat the emboss powder until it magically changes. Be sure that you have heated up all the areas.
Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
The Emboss Resist Technique
With a Stampin’ Spritzer spray the paper that is embossed until damp. Use a paper towel to pat off the excess water.
Start with the lightest color. Using the Pool Party Ink Pad, apply ink to an E size Clear Block.
Next apply Coastal Cabana Ink on the edges alsousing the ink pad.
Finish by applying some Pretty Peacock Ink to parts of the edges. Use the corner of the ink pad to apply a little ink to the center.
Use the Stampin’ Spritzer to spray the block until the ink begins to run together.
Flip the block over and onto the embossed Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
Apply a little pressure by placing a punch on top.
Leave alone for 10 to 15 minutes.
Assembling the Card
Trim the edges and mount on a 3 5/8″ x 4 5/8″ Coastal Cabana cardstock.
The card base is a 4 1/4 x 11″ Pretty Peacock cardstock with the front embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the stamped card piece onto the front of the card base.
Here is how I did the inside. I did not use a sentiment because I wanted to keep this as an all occasion note card.
Add Bling! using the Iridescent Foil Gems.
Voila!

My Card
About My Card
This card was made using the new Painted Lavender Bundle in the 2024 Stampin’ Up! January to April Mini Catalog which just went live on January 4, 2024! It is an amazing catalog! I liked this bundle in particular because lavendar is one of my favorite flowers- I just love the scent! I also love purple so the Perennial Lavendar Designer Series Paper really appealed to me!
The Crumb Cake cardstock(cs) card base is 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. The first layer is made with 2 different patterns of the Perennial Lavender DSP. I cut a 4″ square of each pattern, then cut at the diagonal. The second layer is Crumb Cake cs at 3 1/4″ square. I stamped the sentiment “Big Hugs” from the Perennial Postage stamp set in Gorgeous Grape Ink.
I stamped some leaves in Crumb Cake Ink to give the idea of a shadow behind the foliage. The die cut leaves are in Pretty Peacock and Shaded Spruce cs. The larger flowers are cut from Fresh Freesia cs. The smaller flowers from Gorgeous Grape cs. The banner is another pattern from the Perennial Lavendar DSP. I am so in love with the Paper Butterfly Accents! I left this butterfly white, but you can use a Sponge Dauber or Blending Brush to make the butterfly any color you desire! Finally, the bow is madew with the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Ribbon from the 2023-24 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.
