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) 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. “Fall colors in Paris” is a Color Challenge for this month’s theme.

My Project for today

I was creating this card in my head over several days. I really love this particular design in the All About Autumn 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack. I wanted to used the Aspen Trees Dies too.

I do look at a lot of projects that other talented crafters make. Some of those projects inspire me and help me to create my own project. I hope my project will inspire you!

Project Details

This card was made using a variety of stamps and dies. The Autumn Leaves stamp and Dies come as a bundle (#162186). I have really liked the Aspen Dies that go with the Perched in a Tree stamp set. The Layering Leaves stamp set is great for sentiments.

Grassy Grove and Horse & Sleigh for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-October 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 trees and sun because I felt a feeling of serenity while I was looking at the image. The color combination is just gorgeous! Many of my faves!

How To

  1. Measurements are at the end of the blog.
  2. Start out with the One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper on the left. I thought it was a little barren. After looking through all my stamp sets, I found the perfect tree in the Grassy Grove stamp set.
  3. Tear a piece of copy paper to make an uneven edge and use as a mask so that the trees appear further away. Stamp some trees in Starry Sky Ink. The mask also provides an edge to make a snow drift for the trees to be behind. Use a Small Blending Brush with the Starry Sky Ink and a light layer to make a soft snowdrift in front of the trees.
  4. Diecut the sun with the smallest of the Deckled Circle Dies from a piece of full stick sticky paper. Tip: Diecut through 2 or more sticky sheets so that the top one will still have a full stick.
  5. Apply a light layer of Crushed Curry Ink with a Small Blending Brush where you want the sun to be. Stick the sun mask on. Blend on more Crushed Curry Ink, then blend on a little Pumpkin Pie just around the edge.
  6. To make the sun’s rays, use a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and a Small Blending Brush. Apply a small amount of Crushed Curry Ink to the brush and very gently blend the color along the edge of the scrap of cardstock. Move the scrap a little and repeat until all the rays are done.
  7. Add more trees in Mossy Meadow Ink and Blackberry Bliss Ink.
  8. The sentiment is from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set. Stamp the sentiment for the front of the card in Starry Sky Ink onto a strip of Basic White cardstock measuring 5/8″ x 4 1/4″.
  9. The clouds come from the Trucking Along stamp set and are stamped in Gray Granite Ink.
  1. Use the torn piece of copy paper again to create the inside of the card. Stamp the trees that are in the background with Starry Sky Ink. Then as you move closer, stamp the trees in Mossy Meadow Ink then Blackberry Bliss Ink. Use a Small Blending Brush and a light layer of the Starry Sky Ink to make the snowdrifts.
  2. Stamp the sentiments for the inside of the card in Starry Sky Ink.
  3. Adhere all of the corresponding cardpieces. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the front panel.

Add Bling

Use the 2022-24 In Color Pearls for the Bling by applying 3 of the Starry Sky pearls.

Measurements

This is a 5″ x 7″ card.

  • Starry Sky cardstock card base: 7″ x 10″ scored at 5″.
  • Basic White cardstock: 4″ x 6″ and 5/8″ x 4 1/4″
  • One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4″ x 6″
  • Blackberry Bliss cardstock: two at 4 1/4″ x 6 1/4″

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-October 2023- Sketch Challenge with Autumn Leaves Dies

Hello and welcome to a Sketch Challenge with Autumn Leaves Dies! 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) 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. This Sketch Challenge and the question on whether to add a bow or not is this month’s theme.

I found this Sketch Challenge to be, well, challenging. I had fallen in love with the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper and Autumn Leaves Dies. So I decided to play around with the different designs and colors. I love the little leaves in the dies!

My Project for today

I chose this color combination to be in line with the colors in the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper-Moody Mauve and Pretty Peacock. I did make this card using Basic White cardstock, but in retrospect, I should have used Very Vanilla cardstock. If I make another card, I will use the Very Vanilla cardstock.

Project Details

Measurements:

  • Very Vanilla cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Very Vanilla cardstock: 3″ x 5″, 3/8″ x 2″ (sentiment) and 4″ x 5 1/4 (inside)
  • Moody Mauve cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Pretty Peacock cardstock: 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ (to diecut leaves)
  • Moody Mauve/Foil design of All About Autumn DSP: 1 1/8″ x 1 1/8″, 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ (to diecut leaves) and 3/8″ x 3 1/2″ (inside)
  • Pretty Peacock/Foil design: 1 1/8″ x 1 1/8″, 1″x 1 1/2″ (to diecut leaf) and 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ (inside)
  • Moody Mauve/Pretty Peacock/Very Vanilla/Foil design: 1 3/8″ x 1 3/8″ and 3/8″ x 4 1/2″ (inside)

Instructions

  1. Burnish the fold of the Very Vanilla cardstock card base with your Bone Folder.
  2. Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the All About Autumn DSP strips to the 4″x 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock to make the inside panel. Adhere it to the inside of the Very Vanilla card base.
  3. Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Moody Mauve cardstock to the front of the Very Vanilla cardbase.
  4. Position the 3″ x 5″ Very Vanilla cardstock slightly to the right and adhere in place.
  5. Now adhere the Pretty Peacock cardstock to the card front on the left side.
  6. Set up all of the squares of the All About Autumn Designer Series on the card front, and then adhere them.
  7. Diecut the little leaves, place them where you like and adhere.
  8. Stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink. Adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  9. Add the Blooming Pearls as desired.

  • Scalloped Contours Dies
  • Copper Clay Ink
  • Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals & Mini Dimensionals
  • Mini Glue Dot
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Instructions

  1. Fold the Copper Clay cardstock card base in half and set aside.
  2. Stamp the sentiment in Copper Clay Ink onto the 5/8″ x 2 3/4″ Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut the right-hand end into a banner.
  3. Die cut all of the leaves, scalloped rectangles and the veins for the leaves.
  4. Remove the protective backing on the Gold Glimmer Paper and adhere the veins to the corresponding leaves.
  5. Adhere the Copper Clay/Foil scalloped rectangle to the front of the Copper Clay cardstock card base.
  6. Stampin’ Dimensionals are used to adhere the Gold Foil scalloped rectangle to the card front.
  7. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or the Stampin’ Seal to adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock scalloped rectangle to the Gold Foil layer.
  8. Arrange the leaves on the Very Vanilla cardstock scalloped rectangle. I started with the Mossy Meadow/Foil leaves in the background. A Mini Stampin’ Dimensional was applied to the back of the tip of the right-hand Mossy Meadow/Foil leaf to raise it up a bit.
  9. Add the Copper Clay/Foil leaf using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Slide the White/Foil leaves behind the Copper Clay/Foil leaf. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals are on the back of the tip of each leaf.
  10. Use a Stampin’ Dimensional on the back of the middle of the sentiment and glue on either end. Adhere to the card front. This gives the sentiment banner a wavy look.
  11. To adhere the small Gold Glimmer Paper maple leaf, apply a Stampin’ Dimensional to it without removing the protective backing. Adhere to the left of the sentiment.
  12. Make a small bow using the Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon. Adhere to the card front using a Mini Glue Dot.

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.

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.

  • Basic White cardstock: 2 1/2″ x 5″ for stamping the moth

Supplies

  • Night of Flight stamp set
  • Timeless Arrangements stamp set (for the sentiment)
  • Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
  • Timber 3D Embossing Folder
  • Cheerful Daisies Dies
  • Ink: Memento, Azure Afternoon and Copper Clay
  • Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Copper Clay, Azure Afternoon, Basic Black and the lighter of the Medium Deep Natural Tones (SU800)
  • Paper Snips

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.

Voila!

Instructions

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.
