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.

Today I am hopping along with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! Please be sure to see all of the creative inspiration by visiting everyone’s blog. You can view the Gallery by clicking on the Vote Button below.

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.

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

  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.

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery-February 2023: Beside Me Thank You Card

Hello, thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures. I am Theresa, an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. I am super excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Beside Me Thank You Card, along with Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world! The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You”.

We often forget those simple words “Thank you”. However, it is super 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!

The Beside Me Thank You Card showcases the Beside Me stamp set, the Blending Brushes and Small Blending Brushes, and the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The coloring is done with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. There is also a unique use of a stamp from the FREE Thanks a Bunch stamp set you can earn during Sale-a-bration!

Current Host Code: B223KFE9

Measurements

  • Tahitian Tide card stock (cs): 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at
    5 1/2 inches
  • Basic White cs: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches, 4 x 5 1/4 inches 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches and 2 x 2 1/2 inches(sentiment)

Supplies

  • Beside Me Stamp Set
  • Deckled Rectangle Dies
  • Layering Circles Dies
  • Ink: Mango Melody, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Tahitian Tide, Basic Grey and Memento Black.
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Fresh Freesia, Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Medium Combo (400& 500), Medium Light (700) and Bronze.

Instructions

Top Layer

  • Lay the 3rd from the largest Deckled Rectangle in the center of the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inch Basic White cs. Use a pencil to lightly trace the inside of the bottom. Note: This will help with stamp placement.
  • Use the Stamparatus to position the stamp with the image of the man and children fishing. Stamp in Memento Ink. Also stamp an image onto a piece of full-stick sticky note paper.
  • Place the Deckled Rectangle Die back on the Basic White cs using the traced pencil line on the inside of the die as a guide.
  • Partially cut the Deckled Rectangle leaving the area with the pencil mark uncut. This is called a Partial Die Cut. Position the top clear plate at the border of the area to cut. Then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The die that is not under the clear plate will not cut.
  • Fussy cut the top of the image of the man & children on the Basic White cs and the sticky note paper. Cut off the fishing poles. These will be drawn in later. Place the sticky paper over the image.
  • Use a repositionable tape runner to adhere the 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inch Basic White cs to the back of the die cut card piece. This will be the background piece.

Blending

  • Now for the fun part! Use the Blending Brushes and Small Blending Brushes to create the sunrise on the water.
  • Start by die cutting a 1 inch circle from the full-stick sticky note paper.
  • Use sticky note tape to create the horizon.
  • Use a Small Blending Brush to lightly apply some Mango Melody Ink to the area where you want the sun to rise. Then cover with the 1 inch sticky circle.
  • Start with the Mango Melody Ink and blend in a darker halo around the “sun”.
  • Then use the Small Blending Brushes to blend in Pool Party Ink followed by Coastal Cabana Ink. Use the larger Blending Brush to apply the Tahitian Tide Ink. Note: If you want the color to be as dark as my card, be patient. It takes awhile.
  • Remove the sticky note circle and horizon sticky note tape.
  • Move the “horizon” so that you can create the water. Tip: Place the sticky note tape for the horizon with a millimeter or two of the horizon showing underneath. This avoids having a white line between the sky and the water.
  • Apply a light layer of Mango Melody Ink under the “sun”. You may also leave a small amount of the space white.
  • Repeat the blending of the inks as you did for the sky. Using the small Blending Brushes, with Pool Party Ink and then Coastal Cabana Ink. Add in Bermuda Bay Ink. Use the larger Blending Brush to apply the Tahitian Tide Ink. Remove the sticky note tape.
  • Remove the sticky note paper from the image. Separate the background piece from the front.
  • Use the Blending Brushes and the inks to color in the white space on the background piece. This doesn’t have to be perfect. Color in just enough so that there is not a bright white space.

Stampin’ Blends

  • Use the Stampin’ Blends to color the man & children as desired. Colors used on this card are listed in the Supply List above and the Clickable Supply List below.
  • Use a small stamp from the FREE Thanks a Bunch stamp set to create gentle waves on the water. Waves are added to both the background and the edges of the front panel. Try the Pool Party Ink first. If you want the waves to be darker, use the Coastal Cabana Ink. Tip: less is more!
  • Adhere the background piece to the front of the Tahitian Tide cs card base.
  • Stamp the image of the flying birds in Basic Grey Ink. Note: I forgot to stamp the birds until after I had put the card together, lol!
  • Draw in the fishing poles using the Stampin’ Write Basic Black Marker.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the top layer to the card front. Take care to line up the edges and the outline of the people.

Sentiment

  • Create the sentiment by using the 3rd from the smallest Deckled Rectangle Die. By placing the die near the words, you can make a small deckled rectangle to fit just right.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.

Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my card today using the Beside Me stamp set and the new Small Blending Brushes.

  • Calypso Coral cs: 4 x 5 1/4 inches
  • Petal Pink cs: 1 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches (to die cut the banner) and
    2 1/4 x 5 1/8 inches
  • Dandy Designs DSP: 2 x 5 inches

Supplies

Instructions

  • I recommend using the Stamparatus for Two-Step Stamping. I find it is much easier to line up the second stamp. Each flower is a Two-Step Stamp. Stamp the larger part of the flower in Petal Pink Ink first. Then stamp the detailed stamp in Calypso Coral. The small bunch of flowers is stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink first. Then stamped in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Use the Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker to draw the center of each of the Petal Pink flowers.
  • Next, stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Die cut the sentiment using the Something Fancy Dies.
  • Use the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the 2 1/2 inch stitched circle and the banner.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Calypso Coral cs with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder
  • Adhere the Cane Weave card piece to the front of the Basic White cs card base.
  • Adhere the Dandy Designs DSP to the 2 1/4 x 5 1/8 inch Petal Pink cs. Then adhere this to the left side of the card front.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
  • Adhere the Petal Pink cs banner. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Basic White cs stitched circle.
  • Place the flowers as desired. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals on some flowers. Add the leaves.
  • Color the White Seam Binding Ribbon with the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Marker. Tie into a bow. Adhere to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot.

Bling! Use the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Petal Pink to add Bling! to the card front.

Voila!

Experiment with different colors to see which one you like best!

Best Witches for a Happy Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I used to love to sew costumes for my kids. Now I make Halloween cards to send out to everyone.

I had back surgery 4 days ago. For 3 weeks before the surgery I had been confined to my bed due to severe sciatic pain from a herniated disc. I did a lot of coloring during that time and ended up with a lot of witches and frogs from the Best Witches stamp set!

Here is one of the cards I came up with using my witch and frog.

Measurements

  • Parakeet Party cardstock (CS) card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches with a score at 4 1/4 inches.
  • Parakeet Party cs: 1/2 x 5 inches for the stars.
  • Rustic Harvest 12 x 12 inch Designer Series Paper (DSP)-plaid design: 5 x 3 3/4 inches and 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches.
  • Basic Black cs: 1/4 x 3 inches for the sentiment.
  • Basic White cs: 3 1/2 x 4 inches for stamping the witch & frog and 4 x 5 1/4 inches for the inside of the card.

Supplies

  • Best Witches stamp set
  • Memento Ink
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers in: Parakeet Party, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Freesia, SU800 (skin tone), Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black.
  • Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker
  • Versamark Ink
  • White Emboss Powder
  • Heat Tool
  • Glitter Washi Tape
  • Witch Hat Builder Punch
  • Paper Snips
  • ruler
  • Blending Brushes
  • I also used the Scary Cute and Bottled Happiness stamp sets for the sentiments

Instructions

  1. Stamp the images onto the 3 1/2 x 4 inches Basic White cs. Color as desired with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. Fussy cut the witch and frog.

Preparing the Paper

  1. Let’s start by preparing the paper with the Blending Brush and Parakeet Party Ink. Blend the ink onto the Rustic Harvest plaid design on the right hand side in an area where the witch will be. Make the circle large enough to surround the witch. Also blend some Parakeet Party Ink onto the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Basic White cs where you will be stamping the sentiment for the inside of the card. Blend some ink on the middle of the 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch plaid strip.
  2. Use the Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker and a ruler to draw the lines on the Rustic Harvest DSP plaid design. I did not draw the lines all the way through the area that was inked with the Parakeet Party Ink. Also draw some lines with the Bermuda Bay marker on the 1/2 x 4 1/4 inch strip of the plaid paper.

Using the Glitter Washi

  1. Use the Parakeet Party Glitter Washi to cover 2-3 inches of the end of the 1/2 x 5 inch Parakeet Party cs.
  2. Use the Basic Black Glitter Washi to make a box on the front of the Parakeet Party cs card base. The tape is placed 1/4 inch in from the edge.
  3. Use the Witch Builder Punch to cut out the stars.
  4. Complete the inside of the card by adhering the plaid strip to the left side of the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Basic White cs and adding a strip of the Parakeet Party Glitter Washi. (see photo of inside of card above).

Finishing Up

  1. Use the Versamark Ink to stamp the sentiment onto the 1/4 x 3 inch Basic Black cs. Sprinkle the White Emboss Powder on top and then shake off the excess. Use the Heat Tool to set the Emboss Powder.
  2. Adhere the 3 3/4 x 5 inch Rustic Harvest plaid onto the card front. The Basic Black Glitter Washi should show around the edges.
  3. Adhere the sentiment.
  4. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the witch and the frog.
  5. Add the stars.
  6. Stamp the inside sentiment in Memento Ink.
  7. Adhere the plaid strip with the Parakeet Party Glitter Washi.
  8. Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Parakeet Party cs card base.

Voila! You have a fun Halloween card!

Try other colors.

Try other designs and have fun!

I hope you have a safe and fun Halloween!
