Seaside Wishes & Beauty of the Deep team up for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop-February 2025

Posted on February 27, 2025March 17, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts Blog. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world and get inspiration for your own projects! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Theme for February 2025

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge for February 2025 is both an image and a color challenge. I was primarily inspired by the beautiful, vibrant colors. The underwater image was intriguing.

My Card

I started to make this card by finding any sea-related stamp sets I had. I came up with Seaside Wishes and Beauty of the Deep. Seaside Wishes is still available as a bundle which includes both the dies and the hybrid embossing folder with the stamp set. The Beauty of the Deep stamp set and dies are sold separately.

Measurements

Azure Afternoon cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
Basic White cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″ (for the background), 2 1/4″ x 3″ (for sentiment), 3 3/4″ x 5″ (for inside of card) and 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (for inside strip)
Calypso Coral cardstock: enough to die cut a large coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies, one large starfish and 3 small starfish from Seaside Wishes stamp and dies, and two stamped coral from Beauty of the Deep.
Azure Afternoon cardstock: 3″ x 3″ for the large sand dollar.
Coastal Cabana cardstock: 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ for two small sand dollars.
Summer Splash cardstock: enough to stamp 5 vines of seaweed from the Beauty of the Deep stamp set.
Melon Mambo cardstock: enough to cut 3 of the stick-like coral from Beauty of the Deep dies.
Cajun Craze cardstock: enough to die cut nine of the small bush-like coral.

Supplies

Stamp Sets: Beauty of the Deep, Seaside Wishes and Layering Leaves (sentiment)
Dies: Beauty of the Deep, Seaside Wishes and Linked Together (oval for sentiment)
Embossing Folder: Seaside Wishes hybrid
Ink: Azure Afternoon, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Summer Splash and Versamark
Embossing Powder: Clear and White from the Basics Embossing Powder set
Embellishments: Two Tone Sparkle Gems and Wink of Stella
Misc.: Blending Brushes, Heat Tool, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Instructions

I started this off by stamping with the colored ink then using Clear Emboss Powder over it for the vines of seaweed, starfish, and stamped coral. I kept making the images until I had several to create with. NOTE: the short fat coral is stamped in Cajun Craze Ink onto Calypso Coral cardstock, then covered in Clear Emboss Powder and heat set.
Next I started to die cut stuff. As stated above, I die cut several of the different types of coral.
To create the sand dollar, I stamped in Versamark and used the White Emboss Powder. I then put the sand dollar through the hybrid embossing folder/dies. With my fingers I made the sand dollars curve more to give them dimension.
The background was created using the Summer Splash, Coastal Cabana and Azure Afternoon Inks with Blending Brushes. I also made a 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ inch strip to go on the inside.

Now I had numerous images to work with so I started placing them on the card base to see how it looked. Play around with your own ideas until you like what you see.
Once I had it figured out, I started gluing it down. The center of the sand dollars have 2 Stampin’ Dimensionals piled on top of each other for more dimension. The sentiment is adhered with a single layer of Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finish it up with the Wink of Stella and Two Tone Sparkle Gems!

¡Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of this color and image challenge. Stop by everyone’s Blog to see more ideas using the same colors and/or image theme. You are at Theresa McEntee-USA right now.

Have a most wonderful day!

Reindeer Fun Bundle for the Tag Sketch Challenge- Inspirations In Ink- November 2024

Posted on November 27, 2024November 24, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

Here is my Reindeer Fun Bundle Tag for the Inspiration in Ink Tag Sketch Challenge!

Today is a Sketch Challenge for a tag instead of a card! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects. For my project, I used the Reindeer Fun Bundle from the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.

I chose the Reindeer Fun Bundle because I wanted to have the reindeer as part of my tag. I decided to make him leaping over the tree tops! The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) came in handy for that.

Measurements

Pecan Pie cardstock tag base: 3″ x 5″
Sentimental Christmas DSP: Snowflake Design: 2 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
Basic White cardstock: 1/2″ x 3″ (sentiment) and 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (to stamp the snowflake, deer and bells)
Shaded Spruce cardstock: 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ (for wreath)
Winter Meadow DSP: Tree design, 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ to die cut with a Deckled Circle Die

Supplies

Stamp Set: Reindeer Fun, Snowy Wonder and Greetings of the Season
Dies: Reindeer Fun and Deckled Circles
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Real Red Ink Pad and Pecan Pie Ink Pad
Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Light & Dark Pecan Pie, Medium Combo Pack, Medium Deep Combo Pack and Medium Light Combo Pack for the deer, and Light & Dark Wild Wheat for the bells.
Stampin’ Write Marker: Real Red to color the ribbon on the bells
Embellishment: Iridescent Faceted Gems
Ribbon: Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon and Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (both are Online Exclusives)

Instructions

Line up the Pecan Pie Snowflake DSP and the Pecan Pie cardstock so the top edges are even. On the back of the Pecan Pie cardstock, make a mark 3/4″ in from each side on the top, and 3/4″ down from the top on each side. Cut between the two marks to make the tag top.
Separate the DSP and cardstock. Adhere the DSP so that there is a border all the way around.
Stamp the leaping deer and bells onto the Basic White cardstock with Memento Ink, Color with the Stampin’ Blends Markers as desired. Die cut the deer and bells.
Use the Real Red Ink to stamp “Merry Christmas” onto the strip of Basic White cardstock.
Stamp “To:” and “From:” from the Greetings of the Season stamp set onto the back of the Pecan Pie cardstock tag base.

Use the Pecan Pie Ink to stamp the snowflake from the Snowy Wonder stamp set onto the Basic White cardstock. Die cut it out with one of the Deckled Circle Dies.
Die cut a 2 1/2″ diameter circle with the Deckled Circle Dies from the Winter Meadow DSP.
Position all of the pieces on the front of the Pecan Pie cardstock/snowflake DSP tag base.
Adhere the Pecan Pie snowflake first.
Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Winter Meadow DSP.
Add the wreath and bells.
Now use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the deer and sentiment.
Punch a hole in the top of the tag. Pull the Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon through the hole. Tie the Gold trim around the ribbon into a bow.
Embellish with the Iridescent Faceted Gems. I placed the gems in the center of the snowflakes. The photos do not show them very well.

Voila!

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:

a Heat Tool
Versamark Ink
a small paint brush
a spoon
an anti-static tool (Embossing Buddy)
a microfriber cloth
an embossing powder container , plastic container with lid (or a coffee filter)
and of course-Embossing Powder!

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

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
TIP: After embossing, use a small paintbrush to remove any extra embossing powder before using the Heat Tool.
Turn on the Heat Tool and wait about 10 seconds for it to warm up.
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).
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.
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!)
Use a microfiber cloth to remove any excess powder.

Inside of the Card-Embossing

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.
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

Now for a fun Embossing Technique!
Tear the right side of the long edge of the Summer Splash Glimmer Paper and Thoughtful Design Specialty Paper.

Use the Versamark Ink pad to dab Versamark onto the torn edge.
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.
Repeat with the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.

Assembling the Card

Adhere the torn and embossed Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper to the Summer Splash cardstock embossed with the Fern 3D embossing folder.
Adhere the torn and embossed Summer Splash Glimmer Paper to the left of the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.
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.

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

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

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

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

Posted on February 28, 2024February 26, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

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!

1/2″ x 2 1/2″ for sentiment

Fold the card base at the scoreline. Cut 1 3/4″ to the right of the scoreline. Then cut a 1 3/4″ x 4 1/4″off the piece that you cut off. This is the bottom of the card front.
Die cut 2 labels from the Wild Wheat cardstock with the largest label die in the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. Set aside.
Die cut the Basic White cardstock with the 2nd largest label die.
Use the Stazon Saddle Brown Ink to stamp the bunch of flowers on the Basic White cardstock in the upper left and lower right corner for the inside of the card. (see photo of inside below).
Adhere the stamped Basic White cardstock to one of the Wild Wheat cardstock labels.
Adhere the Poetic Expressions DSP to the inside of the Wild Wheat cardstock card base. Then adhere the Basic White cardstock/Wild Wheat cardstock card piece to the center of the inside panel.

Stamp the images of the hummingbird and flowers onto the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper with the Stazon Saddle Brown Ink.
Put one drop of each color onto a palette, acrylic block or the glass mat. Wet the paint brush and squeeze out the excess water.
Start with the Lemon Lolly Ink and take up a small amount of ink with the paint brush and color the body of the hummingbird, the center of each of the large flowers and the small flowers in the bunch of flowers.
Use the Pumpkin Pie Ink for the center of the small flowers.
For the Hummingbird, use the Daffodil Delight ink, then progressively darker inks to color the wings and tail. Use a bit of Cajun Craze Ink for the base of the neck.
The leaves are done in Old Olive Ink then Mossy Meadow Ink.
Die cut the watercolored images.
Adhere the Poetic Expressions DSP to the front flap of the Wild Wheat cardstock card base. Adhere the second piece of DSP to the 1 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece you cut off.

Glue the bunch of small flowers to the Wild Wheat cardstock label allowing space to adhere the larger flowers. Adhere the larger flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the hummingbird.
Stamp the sentiment “enjoy your day” into the strip of Basic White cs. Adhere this to the strip of Wild Wheat cardstock. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.
