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).
2025 marks a special milestone. We are celebrating 5 fabulous years of creative inspiration together! In order to honor the occasion, we are CASEing (Copy and Selectively Editing) one of our talented members each month. This month we are happy to focus on the unique and awesome work of Mikaela Titheridge fromThe Crafty Oink Pen.
The AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. “Out of the Box” is this month’s theme because Mikaela often uses projects in a new and unique way. I chose one of Mikaela’s unique cards to CASE.
I also got some inspiration from a card done by Stamptastic Designs.
My Project for today
This card was made using several different stamp sets: Pretty Florals, Trusty Tools, Terrific Toadstools and Simply Said. The focus is really on the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. I am so in love with this patterned paper! Each design is just wonderful!
When I saw Mikaela’s card with the torn paper, I knew that I wanted to make one too. I did mine a little bit differently. Instead of having a front panel, I have a split card front.
I made a second card as I was having so much fun tearing paper! Here is the other version.
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. 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 fabulous projects!
We all love sharing the joy of creating with you through projects from our individual parts of the world. I hope that you will be filled with lots of 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 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. Please visit everyone!
The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge.
Here is the photo for the challenge. A fun and relaxing scene.
I was inspired by the photo to think of a great time on the beach during summer break. Fortunately, I had a stamp that conveys a moment of that summertime fun.
The image is part of the Beside Me stamp set. (The “Happy Birthday ” sentiment is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set.)
I had been wanting to try embossing in white emboss powder on a colored background for quite a while. I was also interested in coloring with the Watercolor Pencils using the White pencil first.
A little about how I created this card:
First I embossed the image using the White Emboss Powder & a heat tool. Tip: Remove the heat as soon as the embossing powder melts. Too much heat results in the embossing chipping off the paper.
Next I colored the entire image with the White Watercolor Pencil.
Then I used the the colored Watercolor Pencils.
For the inside, I kept it simple.
This technique was a lot of fun to try. I want to make more!
I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of this challenge. Thanks so much for stopping by. Stop by the rest of the blogs today for more inspiration!
Hello fellow stampers! I have a very simple and cute Love Cats Valentine’s card today. The stamp set is Love Cats from the Stampin’ Up! 2023 January-April Mini Catalog! You can start purchasing product from the Mini Catalog today! You can order from my Online Store HERE!

Basic White cs: 2 3/4 x 4 inches
Melon Mambo cs: 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches
Flirty Flamingo cs: 3 x 4 1/4 inches

Stamparatus
Memento Black Ink
Melon Mambo Ink
Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker
Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems
Scotch Tape
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Instructions
I strongly recommend using the Stamparatus for the cat. Stamping solid images is much easier when you use the Stamparatus because you can re-stamp several times to get a nice solid black color.
Cover the little heart with a piece of scotch tape before you apply the Memento Black Ink. Remove the piece of tape before stamping onto the 2 3/4 x 4 inch Basic White cs. Repeat as many times as you need to in order to get a nice black cat.
Then use the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker to apply ink to the little heart. Stamp and repeat until dark enough.
Stamp the sentiment with the Melon Mambo Ink.
Remove the paper from the Stamparatus.
Stamp the sentiment “Hi there, VALENTINE” on the inside panel of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the Dandy Designs DSP to the front panel of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the stamped cat card piece to the Flirty Flamingo cs.
Adhere the Melon Mambo card piece to the front of the card.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Flirty Flamingo cs/stamped cat card piece to the card front.
Add the Melon Mambo Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems as desired. Bling!
Voila!
This is a simple and quick Valentine’s card! Be sure to look through the Stampin’ Up! 2023 January-April Mini Catalog and place your order starting today- January 5, 2023. Round up to the next $50 so you can choose a Sale-a-bration Reward for FREE! Sale-a-bration ends February 28,2023.
Hello and Happy Monday! We the made cards in the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection- The Best Remedy at my Zoom Card Making Class this last Saturday. So much fun and we all ended up with 9 great Get Well cards!
Card #1
The first card has a sweet little skunk with a paired sentiment “Even though this stinks…”. There are two choices for what follows. I chose “I’m here for you”. You could also choose “Feel better soon”. Notice the sparkling flower sequins! I only have one card left. I have already mailed the other two away!
Card #2
There is also an ice-cream-eating mouse! He/she recommends ice cream as a remedy! Which I will wholeheartedly agree with! I made three different versions of this card just by cutting the pink background. I like to figure out how to make alternative cards, limiting myself to what comes in the kit.
Card #3
This adorable little chick has an old-fashioned ice pack on his head. He has a sweet sentiment “A little bird told me you were under the weather”. Check out the shiny sequins over his head! Again, I created three versions of the card. I did this just by placing the dark blue panel in a different position each time.
I highly recommend this kit to beginning and experienced crafters alike. You can put the cards together rather quickly. It is a good idea to have Get Well cards on hand. You never know when a Get Well card will be needed.
Next Zoom Class with Theresa’s Treasures

If you would like to join us, please email me for more information at theresastreasures.az@gmail.com. I will also update the information on this blog ASAP.

The New Horizons Designer Series Paper (DSP) available in the Stampin’ Up! 2022 Mini Catalog is just gorgeous on its own. Combine that with the On the Horizon stamp set and you can create some awesome scenes with the #SimpleStamping Technique. You end up with wonderfully beautiful scenes with very minimal work on your part!
The following cards were part of my last Zoom Card Making Class. Here is an example of a really quick and simple scene using Evening Evergreen and Blackberry Bliss Inks.

If you like to decorate the inside you can do some simple stamping. Add the 1/2 x 5 1/4 inch New Horizons DSP for something extra special. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
Here are a few more samples of the way I used the #SimpleStamping Technique to easily and quickly create a series of gorgeous cards! And some of the cards have a very masculine feel for your special guy.
I stamped on the New Horizons DSP, then cut it into 3 pieces to give this card a different look.
