Hello! Welcome to Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am Theresa, an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. I am so excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Kiddin’ Around “You Are Amazing” card. Today I am blogging along with a very creative group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! Please be sure to see all of the inspirational projects by visiting everyone’s blog. You will need to click on the “Vote” button below to see the Gallery.
The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You”.
We often forget those simple words “Thank you”. However, it is also important to let those who have helped you, supported you or inspired you, know just how amazing you think they are! One way to share your feelings is to send a handmade card. Discover the joy in making and sending a handmade card for yourself!

Prepping the Rest of the Card Pieces
- From the Lemon Lime Twist diecut the stars three times so that you have 9 stars.
- Die cut two of the castle towers and one arch from the Basic Grey cardstock.
- In Memento Ink, stamp the sentiment “you are amazing” onto the 1 1/2″ x 3″ Baisc White cardstock so that you can punch it out with the smaller smooth oval in the Dual Oval Punch.
- Punch the sentiment out. Punch a scalloped oval from the Pretty Peacock cardstock.
- Also with Memento Ink, stamp the image of the child onto the 2 1/2″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock. Wait until after you color to die cut the image.

Assembling the Card

- Apply a Stampin’ Dimensional behind the top of the arch. Apply a thin line of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the outer edge behind the left & right sides of the arch. Adhere to the front flap between the towers.
- The image of the child is adhered using Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the left side and glue behind the right side.
- Adhere the sentiment to the Pretty Peacock cardstock scalloped oval.
- Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the center of the Basic White cardstock under the front flap.
