Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-May 2024- Seasons with Gallery Blooms

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).

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. “Seasons” is this month’s theme.

We are also focusing on team member Cheryll Miller.  This month I am using a technique that Cheryll used on a beautiful card she posted on her blog in February 2025.

Cheryll’s card is the green and gold one on the left. I was inspired by the verdigris look of her card, which gives the card an antique appearance. The season I chose was Spring/Summer. I wanted to try the technique using pinks and copper embossing instead.

I love the season between spring and summer because it is a lot cooler here in Arizona. There are so many vivid cactus flowers that are blooming and it’s actually comfortable to be out in the sun. Of my most favorite things about the season is the emergence of the flowers. That is why I chose the flower from Gallery Blooms for the centerpiece of this card. (See some awesome Arizona catctus flower photos at the very end of this blog).

My Project for today

The technique is an Embossing Technique Cheryll called Double Embossing. Here is the process in photos.

First apply a light color of ink to the inside of the embossing folder that has the Stampin’ Up! logo on it. Then place a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock in and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Next use a Sponge Dauber to apply a medium dark ink to the raised design. Then blend the two colors using a slightly darker color with a Blending Brush. The colors here are: light – Pretty in Pink, medium- Melon Mambo and dark- Blackberry Bliss.

Finally, Use a Versamark Ink pad and gently rub along the embossing. I was a bit light on the copper embossing. If I were to try it again, I would put a little more embossing powder on it.

I did not have any copper foil. So I took a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock, and covered the edge in Versamark. Then applied Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it. This is the first layer behind the embossed layer.

For the inside of the card, blend some Pecan Pie ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut a strip from a Melon Mambo cardstock die cut with the largest rectangle in the Textured Notes Dies.

All in all, I love the look!

Wildflower Designs Color Combo for the Inspirations in Ink June 2024 Blog Hop

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 Color Combo projects. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE to get the supplies needed to make your own cards.

I had been wanting to use the Wildflower Designs Bundle. This proved to be a great set for the Color Combo of Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lolly and Granny Apple Green.

I also really enjoyed playing with the dies. There were several that cut out shapes I hadn’t expected. i used these shapes to create this elegant card.

Measurements

  • Basic White cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
  • Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ for the inside, 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ to emboss, 4″ x 5 1/2″ to die cut the larger hexagon, 2 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ to die cut the smaller hexagon and 1 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ for the sentiment
  • Lemon Lolly cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/2″ to die cut the hexagon
  • Blueberry Bushel cardstock: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ to die cut the scalloped hexagon

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Wildflower Designs
  • Dies: Wildflower Designs
  • Embossing Folder: Eyelet 3D
  • 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

  1. Die cut all of the pieces.
  2. Emboss the Basic White cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Adhere the inside Basic White cardstock card piece to the inside of the Basic White cardstock card base.

  1. Adhere the Blueberry Bushel cardstock scalloped hexagon to the Basic White cardstock hexagon. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere this to the card front.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-January 2024-Sketch Challege with Painted Lavendar

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 Challenge 105 is this month’s theme.

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.

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

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 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!

Winter into Spring for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-December 2022

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.

This is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the zipper in the image, closing on winter to a very colorful image with clear skies. I came up with an idea for a Torn Paper Reveal card (also known as a Torn Paper Window or Rolled Torn Paper Reveal card) using some retiring stamps and some product to be released on January 5, 2023 in the Stampin’ Up! 2023 January-April Mini Catalog.

Details

The lovely snowy trees are from the Regal Reindeer stamp set. This stamp set is still available for another week or so in the 2022 July-Dec Mini Catalog. I found the bunny in the Peaceful Deer stamp set. This stamp set is available in the Annual Catalog until the end of April 2023.

Sneak Peek! The flowers of Spring are one of the designs in the Rain or Shine 12 x 12 inch Designer Series Paper. This can be found in the soon to be released 2023 January-April Mini Catalog!

I added extra Bling! to this card with the Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Wink of Stella. The Bling! on the flowers are the Iridescent Pastel Gems! Also a Sneak Peek!

I hope my projects inspires you to create. You will see more amazing inspirations along the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. Take a look at the list to see who is next-you are currently visiting Theresa McEntee-USA.
