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 Worldon 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 Aurélie Fabre.
The AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. Tic Tac Toe is this month’s theme.
I chose shadow, circle and texture from the Tic Tac Toe. Aurélie’s style is know for texture, techniques and layers. This made creating a card to CASE hers loads of fun!

My Project for today
This card was made using the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Dies. I used the Stampin’ Blends in: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral and Peach Pie.
The leaves and flowers are die cut with the Gallery Bloom Dies from the Beautiful Gallery DSP.
The Pecan Pie cardstock circle is die cut with the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
The vintage-style is created by using a Sponge Dauber to apply Pecan Pie Ink to the edges of the DSP on each panel.

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 Worldon 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 month’s theme is 1-2-3/A-B-C. The following Stadium Wave Baby Card is my interpretation of this challenge.
Have you ever wanted to make a handmade card that will “Wow!” everyone? The Stadium Wave Baby Card will do just that! The following step-by step instructions will guide you. If you have any questions or if the instructions are not clear, please leave me a comment.
My Project for today
This card was made using Stampin’ Up!® products available in my Online Store HERE. There is also a detailed, photographic, clickable supply list at the very end of the blog.
When I first started thinking about the 1-2-3/A-B-C Challenge, I was thinking about the alphabet blocks from childhood. Then I happened upon the Stadium Wave Card! I felt it was perfect for this challenge.
The Cutest Onsie stamp and die set made the Stadium Wave Baby Card a lot of fun to make.
I wanted to use bright colors and found the Full of Life 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper was just right-using the watercolor background on the backside.
Measurements
Lemon Lime Twist cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 3/8″ and 5 5/8″
Lemon Lime Twist cardstock stadium mechanism: 6″ x 10″ scored at 4″, 8″, 8 3/4″ and 9 1/2″ with paper in landscape orientation, then turned 90 degrees to portrait orientation and cut at 1″ 2″, 3″, 4″ and 5″
Full Of Life Designer Series Paper: enough to cut out 6 onsies, one at 3 3/4″ x 5″ (front) and two at 4″ x 5 1/8″ (inside)
Pretty in Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue cardstock to cut out “B-A-B-Y” with the Alphabet a la Mode Dies.
Basic White cardstock: 3″ x 3 1/2″ (for inside sentiment die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies) and 1″ x 2 3/4″ for the sentiment (die cut with the Unbounded Love Dies)
Berry Burst cardstock: 2 1/4″ x 2 3/4″(for the die cut behind the sentiment cut with the Unbounded Love Dies)
Supplies
Cutest Onsie stamp and die Bundle
Alphabet a la Mode Dies
Nested Essential Dies
Unbounded Love Dies
Ink: Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel and Pumpkin Pie
To explain how to put the Stadium Wave Card Mechanism together, I used a craft cardstock template.
First, score on the dotted lines and cut on the solid lines. The six strips will become the Stadium Wave Mechanism.
Fold each strip so that you see a “w” as shown.
Apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the right side of the “w” and adhere. Make all six pieces.
The dotted line is for demonstration purposes and you do not need to write on your strips. With the “w” side on the bottom, apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the left one-half of the front of the folded strip. Adhere another folded strip to the first one as shown.
Continue to adhere the folded strips together until all six are adhered.
Placing the Stadium Wave Mechanism in the Card
Adhere the Daffodil Delight cardstock with the corresponding Designer Series Paper layer for the front of the card, to the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock card front.
Adhere the two 4″ x 5 1/8″ pieces of the Full of Life Designer Series Paper to the inside of the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock card base.
To add the Stadium Wave Mechanism, have all of the “w” sides on the bottom. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the back of the last folded strip on the bottom right. Position in the center of the Designer Series Paper panel with the top edge just below the top of the Designer Series Paper.
Apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the top of the strip on the left. Close the card, lining up the bottom edges. Wait 10 seconds. Open and “Wow!” You have the Stadium Wave!
Decorating with the Onsies
Cut six onsies from different colors of paper using the watercolor background side of the Full of Life Designer Series Paper. Cut the letters to spell B-A-B-Y from the corresponding colors of cardstock. Adhere the letters to the onsies. Stamp a heart on the first and last onsie.
Place a Stampin’ Dimensional on the portion of the mechanism above the score line as shown. Add some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the upper half of the back of the onsie to adhere the first onsie to the back of the card front. Be sure the onsie is not sticking out the sides or top. (arrows)
Place a Stampin’ Dimensional above the score line on the remaining pieces of the mechanism. Adhere the onsies in order to spell B-A-B-Y. The last onsie will need to be carefully placed so it does not stick out the sides or bottom (arrows). The last onsie is only adhered by the Stampin’ Dimensional.
Use the Berry Burst Ink to stamp the inside sentiment on the Basic White cardstock. Die cut with the Nested Essentials Die. Adhere to the inside of the card.
Final Touches
Adhere 10″ of the Iridescent Striped Ribbon to the center of the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock belly band. Wrap the belly band around the card so it is snug but not too tight. The band should move up and down. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Berry Burst cardstock scalloped oval (Unbounded Love Dies) to hide the end of the Lemon Lime Twist band.
Use Berry Burst Ink to stamp the sentiment on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Die cut with the die from the Unbounded Love Dies. Adhere to the Berry Burst cardstock scalloped oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add the little rattle and the bow. Add the Iridescent Faceted Gems to the rattle and the card front.
Slide the decorated belly band up from the bottom of the Stadium Wave Baby Card, and Voila!

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop crew today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!
The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is a sketch challenge this month. The image inspired me and I immediately saw the possibility of a Fun Fold. I really love to figure out new ways to make a card!
I absolutely love coffee! There are so many good memories related to relaxing with a cup of delicious coffee. For this Fun Fold card I used two stamp sets- Latte Love & Coffee with Friends. You can find Coffee with Friends in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-26 Annual Catalog. The Latte Love is an Online Exclusive.
Each of these stamp sets has images that can be used for a multitude of handmade cards. I chose the women sitting on the steps with her cup of coffee because it reminded me of myself. I love to contemplate life with a hot cup of rich savory coffee!
There are several great dies to accompany the Latte Love stamp set. I only used the outline of the cup.
The “A Little Latte” Designer Series Paper is so fun with several designs!
Thinking about possibilities for Sketch 105 led to the creation of this unique Fun Fold.

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 for the Adventures of Benji!
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. The Adventures of Benji is this month’s theme.
Today’s hop is special because of Benji. Benji is Angie’s little Shih Tzu. He is her stamping and walking buddy. He is so full of personality! He will want Angie to carry him after a short walk, but he loves to run and play soccer! He also loves cheese, eggs, popcorn and anything with butter.
Angie promised Benji she would take him on a trip around the world- so here he goes!
First he is going to travel to the coast of California from where I am in Bisbee Arizona. He is going by submarine up to British Columbia Canada to visit Lori Wilcox. Hense, the inspiration for my card!
My Project for today
Before Benji could board the sub, the scene needed to be created. The Submarine Life Bundle is the perfect choice as there are many sea creatures so that Benji will have some friends to make along the way! This card has Craig the crab and Ollie the Octopus on the front panel.
On the inside panel are Gertrude the Guppy and her five little fishies- Gary, Geraldine, Glenda, George and Gregory. And don’t forget Sandy the Starfish!
Here is the template for this fun fold card. I hope you enjoyed the card and the story that went along with it!
To add a little Bling! I used the new 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in Shaded Summer.

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.

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!

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.

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″

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)

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

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.
