Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia for the Ink and Inspiration Sketch 104 Challenge Blog Hop-March 2024

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

Here is my Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia card for the Sketch 104 Challenge!

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

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge this month is a Sketch Challenge. I was already playing around with the Simply Zinnia stamp set. I had stamped a bunch of the large zinnia and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. If you haven’t tried alcohol markers yet, don’t wait any longer. The alcohol markers make coloring so fun and rewarding!

Since I already had several zinnia colored, I arranged them to correspond to the Sketch 104 Challenge. I was thrilled to see how nice they all looked together!

I love the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and but also wanted to use the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. So I decided to emboss the Designer Series Paper. It is very subtle and adds texture to the card.

Measurements

Melon Mambo cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
Basic White cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (for stamping the zinnia & leaves), 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (for sentiment)
Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper, Petal Pink polka dot design: 4 1/8 ” x 5 3/8″ (to die cut with the largest Deckled Rectangle Die & emboss with the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder)
NOTE: save the edges when you die cut the Deckled Rectangle to use on the inside of the card

Supplies

Stamp Set: Simply Zinnia
Dies: Simply Zinnia & Deckled Rectangle
Embossing Folder: Zinnia 3D
Ink: Blackberry Bliss and Memento Ink Pads
Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive & Mossy Meadow
Embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

Instructions

Fold the Melon Mambo cardstock card base at the 4 1/4″ scoreline and burnish with the Bone Folder. Set aside.
Die cut the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper with the largerst Deckled Rectangle Die. Save the edges to use for the inside of the card.
Run the Deckled Rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Zinnia Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Use Memento Ink to stamp the large zinnia three times and the leaves twice onto the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock.
TIP: Use the Heat Tool to dry the Memento Ink. Then when you use the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend, the black Memento will not bleed into the Lemon Lolly.
Color the images as desired. I usually start by coloring the shadows with a the dark shade. Then I blend it with a medium shade. And finally I blend everything with the lighter color.
Die cut the zinnias and leaves with the Simply Zinnia Dies. Set aside.
Use Blackberry Bliss Ink to stamp the sentiment onto the
1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock. Stamp in the center as you will use the whole piece.
For the inside, use the scrap from cutting the Deckled Rectangle from the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series paper and adhere it to the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock as shown below.

Assembling the Card

Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Melon Mambo cardstock card base.

Adhere the die cut and embossed Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the front of of the card.
Arrange the 3 zinnias on the card front. Adhere the top zinnia flat to the card front. Use 3 thicknesses of Basic White cardstock on the back of the middle zinnia. Then adhere the bottom zinnia with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tip: place Dimensionals in the center of the back of the zinnia so you can place the leaves more easily.
Adhere the leaves.
Use Wink of Stella on the zinnia for extra sparkle.
Embellish with the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins as desired.

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of The Sketch 104 Challenge. Be sure to visit each of the blogs below to see more ideas!

I absolutely love purple, lavender and butterflies! The Painted Lavendar Bundle is part of the Perennial Lavendar Suite which includes all of these elements!

I wanted to use the Baby Wipe Technique to be able to have multiple colors of flowers when I used the lavender flower stamp. I love how it came out!

Measurements

Crumb Cake cardstock (cs): 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White cs: 3 3/4″ x 5″ (to diecut the inside), 4″ x 5 1/4″ (for stamping) and 1″ x 2″ (to stamp and diecut sentiment)

Dies: Painted Lavendar & Perennial Postage
Ink: Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Orchid Oasis, Gorgeous Grape & Shaded Spruce

Instructions

Baby Wipe Technique

To set up the Baby Wipes place about 5 Baby Wipes folded in half on one side the the Standard Stamp Case.

Randomly drop a few drops of each color of ink on the pile of Baby Wipes.
Use the lavender flower stamp and tap down on the Baby Wipes in a small circular motion. Stamp onto the Basic White cs. Ink up the stamp in a different area of the Baby Wipe and stamp the bunch of lavender flowers four times (you only need two of the stamped flowers for this card).

Use the other bunch of flowers and the Baby Wipe Technique to stamp flowers on the Basic White cs for the inside of the card. Stamp the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. Stamp at full strenth in the center, then Stamp Off once when stamping on each side.

Gathering the Pieces

Use the 2nd to largest Perennial Postage Die to diecut the stamped Basic White cs for the inside. Adhere the cardpiece to the inside of the Crumb Cake cs card base.
Diecut the stamped lavendar flowers with the Painted Lavender Dies.
Stamp the stems in Shaded Spruce Ink onto the Basic White cs. Diecut with the Painted Lavender Dies.
Use the square Perennial Postage Die to cut from the Fresh Freesia cs. Sponge the edges with a Sponge Dauber and Gorgeous Grape Ink.
Use the Stampin’ Write Marker in Gorgeous Grape to apply ink to the butterfly postage stamp die. Carefully lay the die on the Fresh Freesia cs and run throught the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Carefully remove the die from the paper.
Stamp “Hello” in Gorgeous Grape Ink onto the strip of Basic White cs. Use the smallest rectangular die in the Perennial Postage Dies to diecut the sentiment. Also use the same die on the strip of Highland Heather Glimmer Paper.

Assembling the Card

Use the largest Perennial Postage Die to diecut the Perennial Lavendar DSP. Adhere the DSP to the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper. TIP: I used a Deckled Rectangle Die to cut the center form the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper before adhering the DSP to it.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Glimmer Paper/DSP panel to the card front.
Adhere one bunch of the lavendar flowers to the card by applying adhesive only to the base. Use the Bone Folder to curl up the edges of the flowers.

For the 2nd bunch of lavendar flowers, use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top and an adhesive at the base. (shown above). Adhere to the top of the other bunch of lavendar flowers but shifted to the left.
Now adhere the Fresh Freesia cs postage stamp cardpiece at a slight tilt in the upper right-hand corner.
Add the stems to the base of flowers.
Next adhere the small Highland Heather Glimmer Paper diecut to the Perennial Lavendar DSP. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the “Hello” slightly lower and to the right of the Glimmer Paper.

Embellishment

Tie a bow with the White Glitter Organdy Ribbon. Then tie White Bakers Twine around the center of the bow. Tie a bow. Add to the stem of the lavendar bunch on the card front.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents.
Add one of each color of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the body of the butterfly.

Voila!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop – August 2023- Never Ever Grow Up

Posted on August 9, 2023August 9, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello and welcome! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. For the first time 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. “Never ever grow up” is this month’s theme.

Each month this group of creative friends design a project for a theme. At the end of this blog, is an image of all of the 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 amazing projects!

My Project for today

For this theme-Never ever grow up– I was thinking about something that you never stop needing through out your life–hugs! So I was on a mission to find a Stampin’ Up!® stamp set with an image of someone hugging someone else. I never imagined the image would be a cute baby sloth being hugged by their mother!

The Sweet & Precious stamp set is perfect for this theme. Their are 3 images that I could have chosen from. The sloths had the best image of a hug.

Project Details

This card is a fun fold. The pattern for the card base will be shown at the end and is in USA inches and metric.

Next I needed some patterned paper to use, Designer Series Paper(DSP) in Stampin’ Up! lingo. I couldn’t find what I wanted, so I made my own! The underlying DSP is the in the Subtles 6″x 6″ (15.2cm x 15.2cm) DSP pack.

The Soft Sea Foam paper was chosen because I wanted a very soft color. Then after I had cut the DSP paper pieces, I used the leaf stamp from the Sweet & Precious stamp set with Old Olive Ink to stamp the leaves over the DSP.

Lemon Lolly cardstock and Pecan Pie cardstock were chosen to compliment the Soft Sea Foam cardstock.

Stamping & Completing the Project

The sloth image is stamped in Crumb Cake Ink. Next a mask was cut from full stick sticky paper to cover the sloths. The Blending Brushes gently applied Soft Sea Foam Ink over the leaves. Pool Party Ink made the perfect sky.

The next step was to color the leaves and the sloths with the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1.

The inside of the card was created with the leaves stamp and Old Olive Ink.

To complete the card, the sentiment (cut to fit in the oval) was stamped in Pecan Pie Ink. “Bring on the cuddles” is such a lovely sentiment! The Double Oval Punch was used to punch out the sentiment with the smooth edged oval. The scalloped-edged oval is punched out of Pecan Pie cardstock.

To finish the card up, I added Brushed Brass Butterflies and a bow made from the Sheer Pool Party Ribbon.

The AWOW Team

I am so glad you have joined me today in this worldwide hug that stretches all the way from Hawaii to New Zealand. We all love sharing joy with you through projects from our individual parts of the world. I hope that you will be filled with lots of inspiration!

Images

Use the Memento Black Ink to stamp the bird onto the 2 1/2″ x
2 3/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock. Color the bird with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired. Die cut the bird with the Aspen Dies.

Stamp the branch in Copper Clay Ink onto the 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Copper Clay cardstock. Die cut the branch with the Aspen Dies.
Stamp the flowers from the Sentimental Park stamp set onto the Moody Mauve cardstock using Moody Mauve Ink. Die cut the flowers with the Sentimental Park Dies.

Blending the Background

Take out the Basic White cardstock. Start with the Boho Blue Ink and a Blending Brush.
Apply the ink by moving the Blending Brush gently on the ink pad in small circles.
Rub some of the ink off onto a scrap paper. Then apply the ink in small circles to the Basic White cardstock.

After you have a smooth area of Boho Blue, apply the Pebbled Path Ink with another Blending Brush to the bottom. Tip: I have a different Blending Brush for each of the main colors (red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black and brown) so I do not have to wash them in between projects.

Next blend in the Wild Wheat Ink over the Boho Blue.
Follow with the Copper Clay Ink blended over the Wild Wheat layer.
Finally blend the Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the Basic White cardstock.

Finishing Up

Stamp the sentiment “Thinking of You” from the Go to Greetings stamp set onto the 1″ x 2 3/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock with the Boho Blue Ink. Die cut with the Countryside Corners Dies.
Use a Sponge Dauber and the Copper Clay Ink to sponge the edges of the sentiment.
Using the Moody Mauve Ink and the flowers from the Sentimental Park stamp set, stamp on the inside of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base.

Die cut the card front oval with the trees from the 4″x 5 1/4″ Copper Clay cardstock using the Aspen Dies.
Adhere the Copper Clay cardstock with the diecut trees to the Basic White cardstock with the blended ink on it using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Now adhere this card piece to the front of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base.
Lay the tree branch on the card front and trim. Then adhere the tree branch to the card front with the Liquid Glue.
Adhere the Moody Mauve flowers.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the bird and the sentiment.
Add the Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to the center of the flowers.
Apply Wink of Stella to the bird and flowers.

Ranunculus Romance for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop- February 2023

Posted on February 23, 2023February 22, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! You are visiting with Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. There are several of us- you will find the list to follow the hop at the end of my blog post.

This is the challenge photo. What does it inspire you to make?

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the image because the flowers in the Ranunculus Romance stamp set are very similar to the photo. The colors were also very pretty and inspirational.

I had really wanted to use the Split Card Textures Dies. I got into my zone and just started stamping. Before I knew it, this card was created!

The Stampin’ Write Markers are great for applying ink to this red rubber stamp. The images of the flowers were easy to do by using the Stamparatus. That way if I missed a spot, I could reapply the ink and stamp a second time.

One of my favorite ribbons in the whole catalog is the White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. This ribbon can be colored to coordinate with your card. Soft Suede Ink was applied with a Blending Brush until I had the off white color.

Stampin’ Up! Love Cats Valentine-simple and fast

Posted on January 5, 2023January 5, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I have a very simple and cute Love Cats Valentine’s card today. The stamp set is Love Cats from the Stampin’ Up! 2023 January-April Mini Catalog! You can start purchasing product from the Mini Catalog today! You can order from my Online Store HERE!

Measurements

Basic White card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4 x 11 inches with a score line at 5 1/2 inches
Basic White cs: 2 3/4 x 4 inches
Melon Mambo cs: 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches
Flirty Flamingo cs: 3 x 4 1/4 inches
Dandy Designs 12 x 12 inch Designer Series Paper: 4 x 5 1/4 inches (FREE with $100 order during Sale-a-bration!)

Supplies

Love Cats stamp set
Stamparatus
Memento Black Ink
Melon Mambo Ink
Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker
Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems
Scotch Tape
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Instructions

I strongly recommend using the Stamparatus for the cat. Stamping solid images is much easier when you use the Stamparatus because you can re-stamp several times to get a nice solid black color.
Cover the little heart with a piece of scotch tape before you apply the Memento Black Ink. Remove the piece of tape before stamping onto the 2 3/4 x 4 inch Basic White cs. Repeat as many times as you need to in order to get a nice black cat.
Then use the Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker to apply ink to the little heart. Stamp and repeat until dark enough.
Stamp the sentiment with the Melon Mambo Ink.
Remove the paper from the Stamparatus.
Stamp the sentiment “Hi there, VALENTINE” on the inside panel of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the Dandy Designs DSP to the front panel of the Basic White cs card base.
Adhere the stamped cat card piece to the Flirty Flamingo cs.
Adhere the Melon Mambo card piece to the front of the card.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Flirty Flamingo cs/stamped cat card piece to the card front.
Add the Melon Mambo Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems as desired. Bling!

Voila!

This is a simple and quick Valentine’s card! Be sure to look through the Stampin’ Up! 2023 January-April Mini Catalog and place your order starting today- January 5, 2023. Round up to the next $50 so you can choose a Sale-a-bration Reward for FREE! Sale-a-bration ends February 28,2023.

Instructions

Run the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch Basic White cs through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Then run it through with the large scalloped rectangle in the Scalloped Contours Dies. Set aside
Use the Blackberry Ink and the “You are wonderful in every way” sentiment. Stamp onto the 2 x 3 1/4 inch Basic White cs. Run this through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the smaller scalloped rectangle in the Scalloped Contours Dies.
Adhere the sentiment to the Blackberry Bliss cs. Set aside.

4. Use the Blossoming Happiness Dies to die cut the flowers from the Hues of Happiness DSP.

Tip: When adding dimension to the card with a large card piece, use the Foam Adhesive sheets cut into 1/4 inch strips. You get more even support of the card piece.

5. Adhere the large embossed scalloped Basic White cs rectangle to the front of the Basic White cs card base with the 1/4 inch strips of the Foam Adhesive Sheets.

Add the smaller flower and leaves by sliding them under the larger flower. I use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue for this. It is easier to slide the card pieces.

7. Add the Opal Rounds and Voila! you have a very elegant card!
