Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-September 2023- “Let’s Take a Walk” with Autumn Leaves

Hello and welcome! “Let’s Take A Walk” with Autumn Leaves! I am Theresa McEntee, creator of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Craft. 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. “Lets Take a Walk” is this month’s theme.

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.

The AWOW Team

Each month this group of creative friends prepare a project for a theme. Below 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!

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.  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!

Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed learning more about my project. Have a most wonderful day!

Trucking Along Bundle for the Inspirations in Ink Fun Fold Blog Hop – September 2023

Today I have an awesome Trucking Along Bundle Slit Slider Birthday Card!

Welcome and thanks 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 talented demonstrators from around the world. Be sure to check out everyone’s Fun Fold projects. The Trucking Along Bundle is an Online Exclusive and is not found in any catalog. You may order from my Online Store HERE.

Today’s Blog Hop is a Fun Fold Hop. Each of us is demonstrating a different Fun Fold. I first learned about the Slit Slider Card from Tina Hamp, who learned it from Julie Davidson. Tina made a Slit Slider Card with the Legendary Ride motorcylcle set. Julie did a cute Slit Slider Card with an octopus. Julie has a video demonstrator of her card HERE.

Measurements

  • Early Espresso cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 1/2″ & 4 1/2″
  • Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 3/4″ x 3″ (mechanism)
  • One Horse Open Sleigh 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP):
    3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″

Supplies

  • Trucking Along stamp set & punch
  • Beside Me stamp (Celebrating You Today sentiment)
  • Peaceful Moments stamp (Happy Birthday sentiment)
  • Ink: Memento Black & Early Espresso
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Pecan Pie, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, Azure Afternoon, Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Gray Granite and Color Lifter
  • Foam Adhesive Strip
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • 3/8″ Textured Ribbon in Boho Blue
  • Adhesive Backed Snowflake Assortment (Online Exclusive)
  • Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels
  • Wink of Stella

Instructions

Prepare the Card Base

  1. Adhere the designer series paper to the Early Espresso card base.
  2. Make a circular finger notch at the midline of the DSP panel on the left. (Use the Circle Dies or the retired 1″ circle punch)
  3. Place the Early Espresso card base in your trimmer at the 1 1/2″ mark, with the 1/2″ score line to the left.
  1. Make a cut from 3/4″ down to 4 3/4″.

Stamping

  1. Use Memento Ink to stamp the pick up truck on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the “Farm Fresh” sentiment on the door.
  2. Color with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired.
  1. Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment on the Basic White cardstock for the inside. Punch a hole in the midline near the left edge for the ribbon. Thread the ribbon through the hole. Tip: this ribbon frays easily so I used a lighter to melt the ends.
  2. Stamp “Celebrate You Today” to straddle the slit and so that it will hide behind the pick up truck.

Putting it Together

  1. Take out the 3/4″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock strip. Add a strip of the Adhesive Foam Strips to the bottom as close to the edge as possible. This is the mechanism for moving the pick up.
  1. Slide the strip into the slit, up underneath until the strip of Foam Adhesive Strips is close to the slit.
  2. Flip this over.
  1. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue (or Tear & Tape) to 2/3 of the top of the Basic White cardstock strip.
  2. Adhere the Basic White cardstock with the Happy Birthday sentiment to the strip by laying it in position to cover the panel. Be sure the Happy Birthday is on the back to the right.
  1. Fold the Early Espresso cardstock on the score lines. Use a strip of Tear & Tape on the 1/2″ flap. Fold the top panel down over the 1/2″ strip and secure it.
  2. Flip over to the front. Adhere the pick up to the mechanism.
  1. Add the Wink of Stella to the snow drifts.
  2. Add the Iridescent Rhinestones as desired.

Voila!

The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You“.

We often forget those simple words “Thank you”. However, it is so very important to show appreciation to the people in your life who have helped you, supported you or inspired you. One way to express gratitude is to send a handmade thank you card. Discover the joy in making and sending a handmade card!

I was interested in a blue moth and found several awesome photos on Google. I combined elements of the 2 moths above to create the moth on the Night of Flight Thank You card.

Instructions

  • Stamp the large moth in Memento Ink onto the Basic White cardstock.
  • Stamp the inside of the wings in Azure Afternoon ink.
  • Use the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to draw the “eyes” on the wings.
  • Use the Stampin’ Blends to color the wings.
  • Fussy cut the moth with the Paper Snips. Use the bone folder to slightly curve the wings and set aside.
  • Use the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder to emboss the Copper Clay cardstock.
  • Lightly drag the Copper Clay Ink Pad over the embossed Copper Clay cardstock with the raised side up. This adds dimension to the brick wall.
  • Cut the Crumb Cake cardstock into 3/4″ x 2″ and 1″ x 2″ strips.
  • Use the Copper Clay Ink to stamp the sentiment “thanks” onto the 3/4″ x 2″ strip.
  • Place the 3 Crumb Cake cardstock strips in the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
  • Cut the 1″ x 2″ embossed Crumb Cake cardstock strip into a
    1″ x 1 1/2″ piece. Then cut in half so you get two 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ pieces to use for the posts of the sign.
  • Die cut 3 leaves with the Cheerful Daisies Dies from the 3″ x 4″ Mossy Meadow cardstock.
  • Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.
  • Now adhere the embossed Copper Clay cardstock to the front of the card base.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the moth.
  • Glue the sign posts to the Thanks sign and adhere to the card front.
  • Add the Mossy Meadow cardstock diecut leaves.

  • For some extra sparkle, brush on the Wink of Stella to the moth’s wings.

Images

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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

  1. Take out the Basic White cardstock. Start with the Boho Blue Ink and a Blending Brush.
  2. Apply the ink by moving the Blending Brush gently on the ink pad in small circles.
  3. Rub some of the ink off onto a scrap paper. Then apply the ink in small circles to the Basic White cardstock.
  1. 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.
  1. Next blend in the Wild Wheat Ink over the Boho Blue.
  2. Follow with the Copper Clay Ink blended over the Wild Wheat layer.
  3. Finally blend the Moody Mauve Ink on the top of the Basic White cardstock.

Finishing Up

  1. 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.
  2. Use a Sponge Dauber and the Copper Clay Ink to sponge the edges of the sentiment.
  3. 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.
  1. Die cut the card front oval with the trees from the 4″x 5 1/4″ Copper Clay cardstock using the Aspen Dies.
  2. 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.
  3. Now adhere this card piece to the front of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base.
  4. Lay the tree branch on the card front and trim. Then adhere the tree branch to the card front with the Liquid Glue.
  5. Adhere the Moody Mauve flowers.
  6. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the bird and the sentiment.
  7. Add the Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots to the center of the flowers.
  8. Apply Wink of Stella to the bird and flowers.

Relaxing with Paradise Palms for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-January 2023

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.

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the feeling of warmth and peace in the image. I could picture myself relaxing on the beach with the waves rolling in. The colors were also very inspirational and add to the feeling of peace and warmth.

I had the idea of using the Window Sheets to stamp some palms on in black to be in the shade. This created a feeling of depth to my card. I had never used the Window Sheets in this way. It was very fun to create something different! The images are from the Paradise Palms stamp set.

Here is how the card looks with the Window Sheet layer opened up. Several colors were used to create the scene. These included Tahitian Tide, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Mango Melody. The colors were applied with the Blending Brushes.

I am so excited to be in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery along with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! The theme for the Gallery is “Thank You”.

We often forget those simple words – “Thank you”. However, it really is important to show your appreciation to the people in your life who have helped you or inspired you in some way, as well as those who have supported you, by sending a handmade thank you card.

This beautiful mountain scene is created with ink pads and the Blending Brushes. The trees are from the Peaceful Deer stamp set. The ornate photo corners can be found in the Fabulous Frame Dies. If you like my card, you can vote for it HERE.

  • Blackberry Bliss cs: 1 1/2 x 3 1/4 inches for the photo corners

  • Shimmery White cs: 1 x 2 1/2 inches (for the sentiment)

Supplies

  • Peaceful Deer stamp set
  • Beauty of Friendship stamp set (sentiment)
  • Fabulous Frames Dies
  • Ink pads: Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Freesia, Starry Sky, Evening Evergreen, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Blackberry Bliss (sentiment)
  • Blending Brushes: I use one brush for each color of the rainbow. For example, I have a “red” brush that I use for pinks and reds, a “yellow” brush for yellows, a “blue” brush for blues, etc.
  • Copier paper
  • Sticky note tape
  • Paper for table to blend ink onto
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Adhesive (glue or tape runner)
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • Paper Trimmer

Instructions

Blending the Card Front

Please see my blog HERE for another look at the technique to make a mountain and valley with the Blending Brushes.

  1. Stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Ink onto the 1 inch strip of Shimmery White cs. Use the label die in the Fabulous Frames Dies to cut it out. Set aside

2. Use the sticky note tape to secure one of the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inch Shimmery White cs to the paper covering your table. Tear the copy paper into strips to create the mountains and valleys. Tip: I had a torn strip for each color I used to avoid having the colors mix into an ugly brown when blending.

3. Secure the torn copy paper to start at the top of the Shimmery White cs. Blend on the Rich Razzleberry Ink on the right side. Then blend in the Fresh Freesia Ink. Remove the paper, move it down a bit and secure. Then blend on more Fresh Freesia Ink.

4. Use a different strip to blend in the Starry Sky Ink. Then another strip for the Evening Evergreen. Leave the strip for the Evening Evergreen Ink in place. Stamp Off some of the small pine trees from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in the Evening Evergreen Ink then stamp onto the Shimmery White cs. Move the strip of torn copy paper down. Then blend in another layer of the Evening Evergreen Ink. Stamp Off a few more of the small pine trees and stamp onto the card piece with the torn copy paper in place.

5. Remove the strip after the 2nd layer of Evening Evergreen Ink. Stamp the medium and large pine trees in Evening Evergreen Ink. Reapply the strip and blend a 3rd layer. Stamp some medium pine trees around the larger trees.

6. Apply one layer of Daffodil Delight Ink. Finish up with Pumpkin Pie Ink in the lower left-hand corner.

Blending the Inside of the Card

1. Use the second 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inch Shimmery White cs for the inside of the card. Apply the sticky tape to mask all but a 1/2 inch strip on the right. Apply the ink as described above. Remove the mask.

Assembling the card

  1. Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss cs card base.

2. Adhere the Sun Print DSP to the front of the card base.

3. Cut the first Shimmery White cs card piece to 3 x 4 1/4 inches. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it at an angle to the front of the card base. Adhere the ornate Blackberry Bliss cs photo corners.

4. Add the sentiment. You can add some Bling if you like. (I actually forgot! I made this card as I was headed out to Nashville to see my 1st grand baby, so I hope you can forgive me this one time! Lol!)

Framed Florets Mountain Scene for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop – November 2022

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop! You are currently visiting Theresa’s Treasures written by Theresa McEntee- USA. I hope you enjoy my Framed Florets Mountain Scene card.

In order to make this card, I used Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Deer and Season of Chic stamp sets. The frames are part of the Framed Florets Dies.

Today everyone is sharing their inspiration from this colorful Scene & Color Challenge. There are several of us hopping today. My Framed Florets Mountain Scene card is just one idea. You will find a list of participants for you to follow along at the end of my blog post. Visit each blog for awesome ideas!

I was very inspired by the gorgeous, colorful mountain scene! The Stampin’ Up! colors match perfectly. Today I am using all of the colors!

I was able to achieve the mountain scene by using the Blending Brushes and a torn piece of copy paper.

Create the Mountain Scene

Trace the inner border of the larger frame from the Framed Florets Dies onto a 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch Basic White card stock(cs). Tear some copy paper strips. Secure the Basic White cs with repositionable tape. Secure the strip of copy paper as well. Start on top with the Fresh Freesia Ink and a Blending Brush. Apply the ink lightly at first. Darken to your liking. Add a small amount of the Orchid Oasis Ink in the upper right corner. Remove the copy paper mask.

Add the Trees

Move the copy paper down a bit and apply the Fresh Freesia Ink again. You may shift the copy paper strip, or even turn it over for variation. Continue moving down and use the Starry Sky Ink. After a couple of layers, use the Evening Evergreen Ink to stamp the trio of pine trees. The trees are in the Peaceful Deer stamp set. Re-apply the copy paper strip at the same level and stamp the smaller trees. Stamp off on some trees. This will give a 3D effect.

Continue to move the copy paper strip down. Switch to the Evening Evergreen Ink. Finish up with the Daffodil Delight Ink. Add a touch of Pumpkin Pie Ink on the bottom left. Tip: The Daffodil Delight Ink layer is in line with the hill under the stamped tree on the left.

Measurements

  • Basic White cs card base: 8 1/2 x 11 inches scored at 4 1/4 inches
  • Basic White cs: 1 x 3 1/4 inches for the sentiment
  • Evening Evergreen cs: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches, 4 x 5 inches for the large frame and 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches for the inner frame.
  • Texture Chic 12×12 inch Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4 x 5 1/4 inches

Note: I Stamped Off with the Fresh Freesia Ink and the paint arch stamp in the Season of Chic stamp set to add a little color to the sentiment background. The sentiment is stamped in Evening Evergreen.

I hope this colorful card has inspired you and hopefully brightened your day.  There are other amazing inspirations for you to see as you hop along this blog hop. Please see the list below. You are at Theresa’s Treasures written by Theresa McEntee. Be sure not to miss anyone!
