Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-November 2023- Fall Color Challenge with Aspen Trees

Posted on November 8, 2023November 7, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

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. “Fall colors in Paris” is a Color Challenge for this month’s theme.

My Project for today

I was creating this card in my head over several days. I really love this particular design in the All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack. I wanted to used the Aspen Trees Dies too.

I do look at a lot of projects that other talented crafters make. Some of those projects inspire me and help me to create my own project. I hope my project will inspire you!

Project Details

This card was made using a variety of stamps and dies. The Autumn Leaves stamp and Dies come as a bundle (#162186). I have really liked the Aspen Dies that go with the Perched in a Tree stamp set. The Layering Leaves stamp set is great for sentiments.

Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the 1/4″ edge of the All About Autumn DSP.

Place the Silicon mat between the front panel of the card base and the All About Autum DSP layer to avoid getting glue on the inside layer.

Grassy Grove and Horse & Sleigh for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-October 2023

Posted on October 26, 2023October 24, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

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.

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the trees and sun because I felt a feeling of serenity while I was looking at the image. The color combination is just gorgeous! Many of my faves!

How To

Measurements are at the end of the blog.
Start out with the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper on the left. I thought it was a little barren. After looking through all my stamp sets, I found the perfect tree in the Grassy Grove stamp set.
Tear a piece of copy paper to make an uneven edge and use as a mask so that the trees appear further away. Stamp some trees in Starry Sky Ink. The mask also provides an edge to make a snow drift for the trees to be behind. Use a Small Blending Brush with the Starry Sky Ink and a light layer to make a soft snowdrift in front of the trees.
Diecut the sun with the smallest of the Deckled Circle Dies from a piece of full stick sticky paper. Tip: Diecut through 2 or more sticky sheets so that the top one will still have a full stick.
Apply a light layer of Crushed Curry Ink with a Small Blending Brush where you want the sun to be. Stick the sun mask on. Blend on more Crushed Curry Ink, then blend on a little Pumpkin Pie just around the edge.
To make the sun’s rays, use a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and a Small Blending Brush. Apply a small amount of Crushed Curry Ink to the brush and very gently blend the color along the edge of the scrap of cardstock. Move the scrap a little and repeat until all the rays are done.
Add more trees in Mossy Meadow Ink and Blackberry Bliss Ink.
The sentiment is from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set. Stamp the sentiment for the front of the card in Starry Sky Ink onto a strip of Basic White cardstock measuring 5/8″ x 4 1/4″.
The clouds come from the Trucking Along stamp set and are stamped in Gray Granite Ink.

Use the torn piece of copy paper again to create the inside of the card. Stamp the trees that are in the background with Starry Sky Ink. Then as you move closer, stamp the trees in Mossy Meadow Ink then Blackberry Bliss Ink. Use a Small Blending Brush and a light layer of the Starry Sky Ink to make the snowdrifts.
Stamp the sentiments for the inside of the card in Starry Sky Ink.
Adhere all of the corresponding cardpieces. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the front panel.

Add Bling

Use the 2022-24 In Color Pearls for the Bling by applying 3 of the Starry Sky pearls.

Measurements

This is a 5″ x 7″ card.

Starry Sky cardstock card base: 7″ x 10″ scored at 5″.
Basic White cardstock: 4″ x 6″ and 5/8″ x 4 1/4″
One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4″ x 6″
Blackberry Bliss cardstock: two at 4 1/4″ x 6 1/4″

Bruno & Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop-October 2023- Abundant Beauty Hello Card

Posted on October 25, 2023October 25, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello! Welcome to Bruno & Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for October 2023. I’m Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I have a Hello card made with the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks for you today. I am so glad you are joining me!

We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, interested in building a successful Stampin’ Up! business. My goal this year is to continue to participate in the monthly Blog Hop. I will be showing the card I send my customers when they order from me. This blog hop is full of ideas and creative inspiration! Be sure to visit everyone’s blog by clicking on the links at the end of my blog.

Measurements

Cajun Craze cardstock card base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored 4 1/4″
Pumpkin Pie cardstock: 4 1/4″x 5 1/2″ (for diecutting the 2nd from the largest Deckled Circles Die)
Basic White card stock: 2″ x 3″, 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 4″ x 5 1/4″ (for diecutting the 4th from the largest Deckled Circles Die)

Supplies

Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks
Layering Leaves stamp set for the sentiment
Autumn Leaves Dies
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Lemon Lime Twist, Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie and Early Espresso
Small Blending Brushes (at least 2 packs)
Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack
Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots

Instructions

Blending the Flower Petals

Diecut the Deckled Circle from the Basic White cardstock.
Secure it to a piece of scrap paper with removable adhesive.
Secure the scrap paper to the work space with tape.
Lay the #1 Decorative Mask over your Deckled Circle cardpiece as desired. Take note of where the notch along the edge of the mask is. Use a pen to draw a line along that edge to help with placement of the next masks.
Secure the Decorative Mask with some removable tape (sticky note tape).
Use a Small Blending Brush and the Daffodil Delight Ink to apply ink along the tips of the flower petals. You can make this as light or as dark as you wish. See photo above on left.
Now use another Small Blending Brush and the Cajun Craze Ink. Apply a layer of ink around the center circle.
Lastly blend in Pumpkin Pie Ink with a third blending brush to complete the flower petals.
Carefully remove the mask without disturbing the cardpiece.

Blending the Leaves

Lay the #2 mask with the leaves by matching up the notch on the edge of the mask with the mark you made on the scrap paper.
Secure the mask with removable tape.
Use a clean Small Blending Brush to apply the Lemon Lime Twist Ink to the leaves first. Then apply the Parakeet Party Ink leaving a bit of the Lemon Lime Twist showing on the upper edge of each leaf.
Finish the leaf by blending in some of Granny Apple Green Ink along the bottom edge of each leaf.
Carefully remove the mask.

Blending the Center of the Flower

The last 2 masks will complete the center of the flower.
Lay mask # 3 over the card piece matching the notch. Secure it with the removable tape.
Use a Small Blending Brush to apply the Pecan Pie Ink.
Carefully remove mask #3.
Lay mask #4 over the card piece, matching the notch and securing it to the scrap paper.
Apply Early Espresso Ink.
Remove the mask.
Tip: Be sure to keep the masks away from your cardpieces as they will have residual ink on them. Rinse them in water. Use a mild soap if needed.

Blending the Flower for the Inside

Repeat the above process to blend on a small flower in the lower right-hand corner of the Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card.
Adhere this piece to the inside of the Cajun Craze cardstock card base.

Assemble the Card

Use the Deckled Circles Die to diecut from the Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
Adhere the Basic White cardstock card piece with the flowers on it to the Pumpkin Pie cardstock circle.
Position the circles on the front of the Cajun Craze cardstock card base and trim any excess that is on the left border.
Adhere this to the card base.
Use Early Espresso Ink and the “Hello” sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set to stamp onto the 2″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock. Diecut with the label die from the Autumn Leaves Dies. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.
Tie a bow with the Burlap Ribbon and adhere to the card front with a few Mini Glue Dots.
Bling! Apply the Rustic Metallic Dots as desired.

Voila!

Translucent Florals for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop-September 2023

Posted on September 28, 2023September 27, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge this month is both an sketch & a color challenge. I was inspired by the sketch primarily because I was already playing with the Translucent Florals Bundle and I could envision using the images in the sketch. This bundle can be found in the Stampin’ Up! 2023 Holiday Mini Catalog.

And this bundle has a coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP) only available in the Online Exclusives. The Delightful Floral DSP has vibrant colors and gorgeous designs. I also couldn’t wait to try out the Online Exclusive Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper!

These colors & designs just make me smile. I love flowers and plants. My house is filled with plants and my front yard is filled with flowers!

The Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper was so easy to use. Stamping the flowers on vellum cardstock was a little tricky. Using the Heat Tool to help set the ink helped. Also using tweezers to move the flowers helped me avoid getting ink on my fingers, too much! Later I learned a Hot Tip from my Accountability Partner, Christy Gridley, that using Clear Emboss Powder over the ink makes it so you won’t get the ink all over the place.

For the inside, I stamped the images on Basic White cardstock. Much easier!

If you would like more information on how to make this card for yourself, let me know in the comments.

Paper Florist Dies for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-August 2023

Posted on August 24, 2023August 23, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the image because I had been wanting to use the Paper Florist Dies. These dies do not have a corresponding stamp set but they are loads of fun on their own!

The colors were also very inspirational. I love flowers. The combination of colors for this challenge brought to mind several different types of flowers I am fond of. Tiger Lillies and roses are two of them.

My goal was to make the flowers as real as possible. I tried several ways to color the flowers after diecutting them. I used Blending Brushes, Sponge Daubers and Stampin’ Write Markers. You may enjoy trying to make flowers you like!

The inside of the card needed a pretty flower. The Artistically Inked stamp set had a rose that I liked. I stamped it in Flirty Flamingo Ink. The leaves are stamped in Granny Apple Green Ink and Garden Green Ink. (I may have overdone the leaves! Lol!)

I found that making the flowers was very relaxing. It really did not take long to diecut the pieces. I hope you give the Paper Florist Dies a go!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop – August 2023- Never Ever Grow Up

Posted on August 9, 2023August 9, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. For the first time 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. “Never ever grow up” is this month’s theme.

Each month this group of creative friends design a project for a theme. At the end of this blog, 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!

My Project for today

For this theme-Never ever grow up– I was thinking about something that you never stop needing through out your life–hugs! So I was on a mission to find a Stampin’ Up!® stamp set with an image of someone hugging someone else. I never imagined the image would be a cute baby sloth being hugged by their mother!

The Sweet & Precious stamp set is perfect for this theme. Their are 3 images that I could have chosen from. The sloths had the best image of a hug.

Project Details

This card is a fun fold. The pattern for the card base will be shown at the end and is in USA inches and metric.

Next I needed some patterned paper to use, Designer Series Paper(DSP) in Stampin’ Up! lingo. I couldn’t find what I wanted, so I made my own! The underlying DSP is the in the Subtles 6″x 6″ (15.2cm x 15.2cm) DSP pack.

The Soft Sea Foam paper was chosen because I wanted a very soft color. Then after I had cut the DSP paper pieces, I used the leaf stamp from the Sweet & Precious stamp set with Old Olive Ink to stamp the leaves over the DSP.

Lemon Lolly cardstock and Pecan Pie cardstock were chosen to compliment the Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

Stamping & Completing the Project

The sloth image is stamped in Crumb Cake Ink. Next a mask was cut from full stick sticky paper to cover the sloths. The Blending Brushes gently applied Soft Sea Foam Ink over the leaves. Pool Party Ink made the perfect sky.

The next step was to color the leaves and the sloths with the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1.

The inside of the card was created with the leaves stamp and Old Olive Ink.

To complete the card, the sentiment (cut to fit in the oval) was stamped in Pecan Pie Ink. “Bring on the cuddles” is such a lovely sentiment! The Double Oval Punch was used to punch out the sentiment with the smooth edged oval. The scalloped-edged oval is punched out of Pecan Pie cardstock.

To finish the card up, I added Brushed Brass Butterflies and a bow made from the Sheer Pool Party Ribbon.

The AWOW Team

I am so glad you have joined me today in this worldwide hug that stretches all the way from Hawaii to New Zealand. 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!
