Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-June 2025- Out of the Box Challenge with Florals in Bloom

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 from The 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!

Embossing Techniques for the Inspirations in Ink July 2024 Blog Hop

See how to use Embossing Techniques to make this card!

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 projects using different Embossing Techniques. The projects could be using embossing folders or projects using embossing powder or embossing paste. Lots of wonderful possibilities!

There are some Embossing Techniques that I used for this card today and I will include a few tips.

Measurements

  • Summer Splash cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ (10.5cm x 29.7cm scored at 14.85cm)
  • Summer Splash cardstock: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ (10cm x 14.4cm)
  • Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ (9.3cm x 13.7cm) inside and
    2 1/4″ x 4″ (5.7cm x 10cm) sentiment
  • 2024-2026 Glimmer Specialty Paper in Summer Splash:
    1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (3.5cm x 14.4cm)
  • Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper in Summer Splash: 3″ x 5 1/4″ (9.6cm x 14.4cm)

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Happiest Day and Throughout the Year
  • Dies: Everyday Details
  • Embossing Folder: Fern 3D
  • Ink:Versamark
  • Embossing Powder: WOW! Metallics Embossing Powders-silver
  • Embellishments: Metallic Gems-silver
  • Ribbon:Gold & Silver Combo Trim

Basic Embossing Kit

If you are new to using Embossing Powders-Welcome! You will be amazed at how fun it is to see the embossing powder change-it’s magical! For basic embossing and most embossing techniques you will need:

Stampin’ Up! has two awesome embossing powder collections. You can click on the image above or order from my Online Store HERE.

Check out this fun Embossing Technique below!

Instructions

Using an Embossing Folder to Emboss Cardstock

  1. First emboss the Summer Splash cardstock with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. TIP: Spritz the cardstock so that the paper is slightly damp in order to get the best 3D look after you emboss it. Set aside.

Embossing the Sentiment

  1. Die cut the 2 1/4″ x 4″ (5.7cm x 10cm) Basic White cardstock with the third from the smallest rectangle die in the Everyday Details Dies.
  2. Very Important TIP: Use an anti-static tool on the cardstock prior to using embossing powder. This avoids having the embossing powder stick to anything except your stamped image/sentiment.
  3. After using the anti-static tool, stamp the sentiment and the sun rays with Versamark Ink. Versamark is an ink that is also an adhesive so the embossing powder will stick to it.
  4. Sprinkle the embossing powder over the Versamark. Shake off the excess into a plastic container or onto a coffee filter. TIP:The coffee filter will not have as much static as paper, so the powder can easily be returned to the container.
  5. TIP: After embossing, use a small paintbrush to remove any extra embossing powder before using the Heat Tool.
  6. Turn on the Heat Tool and wait about 10 seconds for it to warm up.
  7. TIP: Hold the Heat Tool about 4-6 inches (10-15cm) away from the cardstock. Heat the back first for about 10 seconds. Then heat from the front, moving the heat around until the embossing powder melts (turns).
  8. TIP: As soon as the embossing powder turns (here’s the magic!) remove the heat from that area. Overheating can cause the image/sentiment to not look as crisp.
  9. TIP: After the entire image/sentiment has turned, allow it to cool. The embossing powder is basically melted plastic and will stick to your skin and burn you if you touch it before it has cooled. (Ask me how I know!)
  10. Use a microfiber cloth to remove any excess powder.

Inside of the Card-Embossing

  1. Now for the Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card. Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment from the Thoughout the Year stamp set in Versamark. Emboss with the Silver Embossing Powder same as above. Heat & cool.
  2. Stamp the butterfly from the Happiest Day stamp set in Versamark Ink onto the right lower corner of the inside card piece. Heat. Cool. Adhere this piece to the inside panel of the Summer Splash cardstock card base.

Embossing Technique- Embossing the Edge of the Paper

  1. Now for a fun Embossing Technique!
  2. Tear the right side of the long edge of the Summer Splash Glimmer Paper and Thoughtful Design Specialty Paper.
  1. Use the Versamark Ink pad to dab Versamark onto the torn edge.
  2. Dip the edge in the Silver Embossing Powder that is in a plastic container or shake a bit out onto just the edge. Shake off the excess powder. Use the Heat Tool the same as above. Cool.
  3. Repeat with the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.

Assembling the Card

  1. Adhere the torn and embossed Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper to the Summer Splash cardstock embossed with the Fern 3D embossing folder.
  2. Adhere the torn and embossed Summer Splash Glimmer Paper to the left of the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.
  3. Use a Mini Glue Dot to hold one end of the Silver Trim to the back of the card piece. Wrap around three times and secure to the back with another Mini Glue Dot.
  4. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the card piece to the front panel of the Summer Splash cardstock card base.
  5. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.
  6. Embellish the card front with the Metallic Gems as desired.

Voila!

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!

  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals

Instructions

Gold Foil to Silver Foil

  1. I recently saw this on France Martin’s Facebook page-Frenchie Stamps. She used a Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Marker to transform the Gold Foil cardstock to Silver Foil.
  2. I thought it was easier and quicker to use a cotton ball with 91% Rubbing Alcohol.
  3. Either way you have Silver Foil to cut the tools from!

Preparing all the Card Pieces

  1. There are a lot of pieces to this card! But, fear not! It is simple once you know what all the dies are for.
  2. Here is everything you can cut from the Trusty Tools Dies. The Trusty Tools Masculine Thank You card uses the pieces for the hammer, tape measure, wrench, pliers and the screws & nuts (inside of card).

  1. First, diecut all of the tools as follows.
  2. Cut the handle for the hammer & the hand grip for the pliers from Poppy Parade cs. Then cut the open-end wrench and the jaws of the pliers from the Silver Foil. Also cut one set of the screws & nuts for the inside of the card.
  3. Use Versamark Ink to stamp the hammer and the tape measure onto Silver Foil. Tip: Be sure to press straight down onto the foil so the stamp does not slide.
  4. Sprinkle with the Black Emboss Powder. Heat gently with the Heat Tool until the Emboss Powder turns.
  5. Use Memento Ink to stamp the tape of the tape measure onto the scrap of Crushed Curry cs.
  6. Also use the Memento Ink to stamp the “Thank You” onto the strip of Gray Granite DSP.
  7. Use Poppy Parade Ink to stamp the handle of the hammer onto Poppy Parade cs.
  8. Put the tools together.

Assembling the Card

  1. On the short side cut the Basic Black cs cardbase at 2″ down to the score mark. Then cut along the score mark from the top of the long side down to the 2″ cut. Save the piece you cut out for the card front.
  2. Start by adhereing the Pecan Pie peg board pattern DSP to the Basic Black cs piece you just cut from the card base.
  3. Use Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the tools to the peg board. Set aside.
  4. Next adhere the Crushed Curry ruler DSP to the strip left as the card front.
  5. Use the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals on the very bottom of the peg board then adhere it to the card front on the ruler.
  6. Adhere the Poppy Parade/Gray Granite striped DSP to the inside of the card base.

  1. Adhere the Gray Granite background DSP to the inside.
  2. Use Gray Granite Ink to stamp some of the screws & nuts in the upper and lower corner of the Basic White cs for the inside.
  3. Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere some screws & nuts over the stamped screws & nuts. Adhere to the Gray Granite background DSP.
  4. Finish by using Stampin’ Dimensionals along the bottom of the sentiment and glue along the top to adhere it to the card front.

Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my Trusty Tools Masculine Thank You Card today using the Trusty Tool Bundle and Trusty Toolbox DSP!

Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You Card for Bruno & Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Group Blog Hop-January 2024

Hello! Welcome to Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Free Demonstrator Training Group Blog Hop for January 2024. I am Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts and I have a Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You card for you today. Thanks so much for joining me today!

We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. We are members of this free training group to help us build a successful Stampin’ Up! business. My goal this year is to continue to participate in the monthly Blog Hop to show you the card I will send my customers as a thank you for ordering from me. The Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You Card should be a fun card to receive!

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. Please leave some comments so we know how we are doing.

Why did I make this Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You Card? My sister wanted to learn how to make shaker cards. The basic card was one of the samples I showed her. When I saw the beautiful hummingbird in the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set, I thought–why not add a hummingbird to the front? So I had my idea for my customer thank you card!

Measurements

  • Blueberry Bushel cardstock (cs): 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
  • Blueberry Bushel cs: 4 x 5 1/4″ for front panel that is diecut
  • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper: 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ for the hummingbird and 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ for the inside panel
  • Basic White card stock (cs): 2″ x 2″ for sentiment on front
  • Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (DSP) an Online Exclusive!: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Window Sheets: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Thoughtful Expressions and Wildlife Wonder (sentiment)
  • Dies: Thoughtful Expressions and Garden Meadow
  • Ink: Pads: Blueberry Bushel, Smoky Slate and Memento; Re-Inkers: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia and Crushed Curry
  • Embellishments: Iridescent Shaker Circles
  • Additional: Foam Adhesive Strips, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Wink of Stella

Instructions

Shaker Card

  1. Diecut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Blueberry Bushel cs with the large arched window die in the Garden Meadow Dies. With the same die, diecut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Meandering Meadow DSP.
  2. Lay the Blueberry Bushel cs diecut panel on the front of the card base.
  3. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the arched window you diecut from the DSP. Insert it in the Blueberry Bushel cs frame to adhere it to the front of the card base.
  1. Remove the Blueberry Bushel cs frame. Flip this over and adhere the Window Sheet. Place Stampin’ Dimensionals in the corners and on the sides.
  1. Tip #1: to reduce the sequins sticking to the edge of the Foam Adhesive Strip, apply the Embossing Buddy to the edge that will be facing inside the shaker. ( first photo below)
  2. Tip #2: to help the Foam Adhesive Strip cover the archway and remain flat, use your Paper Snips to make a nick in the outside edge. (second photo below with arrows)
  3. Add the Iridescent Circles to the inside of the area framed with the Foam Adhesive Strips. (second photo below)
  4. Remove the protective cover on the Foam Adhesive Strips as well as the Stampin’ Dimensionals on the frame with the window sheet. Turn the frame over and carefully adhere it to the Foam Adhesive Strips and the front of the card base. (third photo below)
  1. Yay! the shaker card is done. Now for the decorating!

Watercoloring the Hummingbird

  1. Ink up the hummingbird with Smokey Slate Ink. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Memento Ink to the face, bill and neck. Stamp on to the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
  1. Drop one drop of Orchid Oasis Ink from the Re-Inker onto a clear block. Use a small paint brush. Put the paint brush in water and touch it to a small amount of the Orchid Oasis Ink. Spread it on the clear block until it is diluted. Then apply it to the hummingbird wings. Follow with the remaining colors making some areas light and some dark for shading. Add the Wink of Stella if desired.

Finishing the card

  1. Use the Thoughtful Expressions Die to diecut the Watercolor Paper for the inside. Stamp the small sprig of flowers in Smoky Slate Ink. Watercolor with Crushed Curry, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Inks. Adhere to the inside of the card base.
  1. Use Blueberry Bushel Ink to stamp the sentiment from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set, onto the Basic White cs. Diecut with the smallest of the Thoughtful Expressions dies.
  2. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the hummingbird and sentiment to the card front.

Voila!
