Thoughtful Expressions Watercolor Card for the Inspirations in Ink February 2024 Blog Hop

Welcome! Thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts to see my Thoughtful Expressions Watercolor Card! 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 talented demonstrators from around the world.

If you want your own, order before February 29,2024 so you can get Sale-a-bration Rewards! You may order from my Online Store HERE.

Why did I make this Thoughtful Expressions Watercolor Card? I am interested in learning to watercolor. The Stampin’ Up!® Inks are so vivid and work very well. I have been using a Nylon Round 1 paintbrush. If you would like to try watercoloring, there is a lot of trial and error. Don’t be afraid to try. There are many happy accidents that turn out well!

  1. Stamp the images of the hummingbird and flowers onto the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper with the Stazon Saddle Brown Ink.

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

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.

Project Details

Measurements

  • Pecan Pie cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Pecan Pie cardstock: 1 3/8″ x 4 1/4″ for inside
  • All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Autumn Leaves photo design: 4″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 1/4″
  • Basic White cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 1 1/2″ x 3″(sentiment)
  • Dry Brushed Metallic 12″ x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper: 1 3/4″ x 5″ to die cut the maple leaves
  • All About Autumn DSP: White/Copper Foil design: 2″ x 2 1/4″ to die cut the small leaves and Cajun Craze/Copper Foil design: 1″ x 4 1/2″ to die cut the oak leaves

Supplies

  • Stamps & Dies: Autumn Leaves stamp set & Dies, Aspen Tree Dies, Perched in a Tree stamp set and Layering Leaves stamp set
  • Ink: Daffodil Delight & Cajun Craze
  • Blending Brush
  • Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots
  • Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals & Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Mini Glue Dots

Instructions

  1. Diecut all of the leaves and set aside.
  2. Use the Aspen Trees Die to diecut the front of the Pecan Pie cardstock cardbase.
  3. Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the 1/4″ edge of the All About Autumn DSP.

  1. Stamp the sentiment from the Perched in a Tree stamp set in Cajun Craze Ink onto the Basic White cardstock. Use the the Daffodil Delight Ink to Stamp Off once then stamp the image of the leaves from the Autumn Leaves stamp set around the sentiment.
  2. Adhere the Basic White cardstock to the inside back panel of the Pecan Pie cardstock card base.
  1. Stamp the sentiment ” Thinking of You” from the Layering Leaves stamp set onto the smaller piece of Basic White cardstock. Diecut with the label from the Autumn Leaves Dies.
  2. Use the Daffodil Delight Ink and a Blending Brush to color the small leaves diecut from the white/copper foil design of the All About Autumn DSP.
  1. 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.
  1. Position Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the tree trunks to adhere the sentiment label.
  2. Start to adhere the diecut leaves. Remember that they will show through on the inside.
  1. Adhere the Pecan Pie cardstock for the inside to cover where the sentiment shows through. Then position the leaves on the inside to hide the backside of the leaves from the frontside.
  1. Add a few more leaves to the cardfront taking care that they do not show through to the inside.
  2. Tie a bow with the Copper Ribbon and adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.

Voila! That is it!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-October 2023- Sketch Challenge with Autumn Leaves Dies

Hello and welcome to a Sketch Challenge with Autumn Leaves Dies! 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 Sketch Challenge and the question on whether to add a bow or not is this month’s theme.

I found this Sketch Challenge to be, well, challenging. I had fallen in love with the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper and Autumn Leaves Dies. So I decided to play around with the different designs and colors. I love the little leaves in the dies!

My Project for today

I chose this color combination to be in line with the colors in the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper-Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock. I did make this card using Basic White cardstock, but in retrospect, I should have used Very Vanilla cardstock. If I make another card, I will use the Very Vanilla cardstock.

Project Details

Measurements:

  • Very Vanilla cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Very Vanilla cardstock: 3″ x 5″, 3/8″ x 2″ (sentiment) and 4″ x 5 1/4 (inside)
  • Moody Mauve cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Pretty Peacock cardstock: 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ (to diecut leaves)
  • Moody Mauve/Foil design of All About Autumn DSP: 1 1/8″ x 1 1/8″, 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ (to diecut leaves) and 3/8″ x 3 1/2″ (inside)
  • Pretty Peacock/Foil design: 1 1/8″ x 1 1/8″, 1″x 1 1/2″ (to diecut leaf) and 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ (inside)
  • Moody Mauve/Pretty Peacock/Very Vanilla/Foil design: 1 3/8″ x 1 3/8″ and 3/8″ x 4 1/2″ (inside)

Instructions

  1. Burnish the fold of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base with your Bone Folder.
  2. Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the All About Autumn DSP strips to the 4″x 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock to make the inside panel. Adhere it to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.
  3. Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Moody Mauve cardstock to the front of the Very Vanilla cardbase.
  4. Position the 3″ x 5″ Very Vanilla cardstock slightly to the right and adhere in place.
  5. Now adhere the Pretty Peacock cardstock to the card front on the left side.
  6. Set up all of the squares of the All About Autumn Designer Series on the card front, and then adhere them.
  7. Diecut the little leaves, place them where you like and adhere.
  8. Stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink. Adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  9. Add the Blooming Pearls as desired.

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-September 2023- “Let’s Take a Walk” with Autumn Leaves

Hello and welcome! “Let’s Take A Walk” with Autumn Leaves! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Craft. 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. “Lets Take a Walk” is this month’s theme.

My Project for today

When I was about 4 years old, I lived in the country in Pennsyvania USA. My Mom & I would go for a daily walk down the tree-lined dirt road. The image on the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper brings me back to this time period. We each had a pram. My little brother was in my Mom’s pram. I had a collection of Black Walnuts and Roly-Polies in mine! Lol!

Project Details

This card was made using Copper Clay, Daffodil Delight and Cajun Crazed colored cardstock. The sentiment is embossed in Copper Emboss Powder onto a Very Vanilla cardstock. The sentiment is diecut with a die from the He’s All That Dies. The card is embellihed around the sentiment with the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems.

The inside panels are cut with the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

Instructions

Prepare the Card Base

  1. Adhere the designer series paper to the Early Espresso card base.
  2. Make a circular finger notch at the midline of the DSP panel on the left. (Use the Circle Dies or the retired 1″ circle punch)
  3. Place the Early Espresso card base in your trimmer at the 1 1/2″ mark, with the 1/2″ score line to the left.
  1. Make a cut from 3/4″ down to 4 3/4″.

Stamping

  1. Use Memento Ink to stamp the pick up truck on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the “Farm Fresh” sentiment on the door.
  2. Color with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired.
  1. Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment on the Basic White cardstock for the inside. Punch a hole in the midline near the left edge for the ribbon. Thread the ribbon through the hole. Tip: this ribbon frays easily so I used a lighter to melt the ends.
  2. Stamp “Celebrate You Today” to straddle the slit and so that it will hide behind the pick up truck.

Putting it Together

  1. Take out the 3/4″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock strip. Add a strip of the Adhesive Foam Strips to the bottom as close to the edge as possible. This is the mechanism for moving the pick up.
  1. Slide the strip into the slit, up underneath until the strip of Foam Adhesive Strips is close to the slit.
  2. Flip this over.
  1. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue (or Tear & Tape) to 2/3 of the top of the Basic White cardstock strip.
  2. Adhere the Basic White cardstock with the Happy Birthday sentiment to the strip by laying it in position to cover the panel. Be sure the Happy Birthday is on the back to the right.
  1. Fold the Early Espresso cardstock on the score lines. Use a strip of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ flap. Fold the top panel down over the 1/2″ strip and secure it.
  2. Flip over to the front. Adhere the pick up to the mechanism.
  1. Add the Wink of Stella to the snow drifts.
  2. Add the Iridescent Rhinestones as desired.

Make the Pumpkin Pie card base. Here is a pattern. Use your Paper Trimmer to make a cut at 1 1/2 and at 4 inches down to the 4 1/4 inch score line (solid lines).

Turn the card base and make a score at 2 inches from the 4 inch to the 1 1/2 inch cut (dotted line). Use the Bone Folder to fold on the score lines. Set the card base aside.

  2. Use the Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight Ink to stamp one leaf in each color.

5. Color the leaves on the strips of Rustic Harvest DSP with the Watercolor Pencils in Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie.

6. Use the Pumpkin Pie Ink to stamp the “Grateful for all that you do” sentiment on the end of the 3 x 4 inch Very Vanilla cs. Punch the sentiment out with the Label Me Fancy Punch.

7. Stamp the sentiment “Sending Caring Thoughts” on the upper third of the 2 1/4 x 4 inch Very Vanilla cs. Add the little the flower.

8. Adhere the side flaps to the inside of the card base. Then adhere the strips of the Rustic Harvest DSP that have been colored to each of the flaps.
