Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-April 2025 with Turtle-y Awesome

Posted on April 9, 2025April 9, 2025 by Theresa's Treasures

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.

This month’s theme is for the 5th Anniversary of Around the World on Wednesday! We are doing a Team Member Focus. We are honoring Anne Marie Hile, Stampin’ Anne, because she was very supportive in helping Angie get this all started. The goal is to choose one of Anne Marie’s cards that she has posted and C.A.S.E. (Copy And Selectively Edit) the card.

I choose Annie Marie’s cute kitty card to C.A.S.E. I was really impressed by all of the coordinating layers in this card (there are 7 layers on her card!). She also used 2 different embossing folders. She paid lots of attention to every detail. I had fun copying this style with my Turtle-y Awesome Birthday card.

My Project for today

This card was made using the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set and dies, the Turtle Textures Embossing Folder, the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper and the Shades of Green Hexagon Embellishments. These products may all be found in the 2025-2026 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog due to be released in May 2025. This is a turtle-ly terrific sneek peek!

Turtles are special to me because my Mom liked turtles. She had a collection of hundreds of little ceramic turtles she picked up everywhere she traveled. Since she passsed away in 2018, I have become even more fond of turtles.

The AWOW Team

I am so glad you have joined me today in this worldwide hug that started on April 8, 2020 and stretches all the way from Australia to Alaska across twelve different time zones. Each month this group of creative friends prepare a project for a theme. Below is an image of the whole crew and where they are from around the globe. Such a talented and wonderful group of people! I had the pleasure of meeting several during the Stampin’ Up! Onstage convention in Raleigh, NC. You will want to visit everyone to be sure to see all the amazing projects!

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!

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery-May 2023: Torn Paper Sea Turtle Thank You Card

Posted on May 8, 2023May 7, 2023 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello, thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. 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 torn paper Sea Turtle Thank You card. Projects in this gallery are designed by 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!

I am using torn card stock to create the background “water” for these cute sea turtles!

Instructions

Create the Background

Adhere several of the torn Misty Moonlight cs strips onto the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Boho Blue cs with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Stamp some bubbles in Boho Blue ink. Then use the Pumpkin Pie ink to stamp some fish.
Place the card piece in the Painted Textures Embossing Folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Stamping

Use a Sponge Dauber and the Garden Green Ink to apply ink to the head, tail and extremities of the baby sea turtle.
Now use another Sponge Dauber and the Early Expresso Ink to daub ink onto the shell. Before the ink dries, coat the shell with Clear Emboss Powder. If some powder gets on the Garden Green Ink, use a dry paint brush to brush it away.
Use the Heat Tool. Repeat until you have 4 turtles.
Fussy cut.
Use the Garden Green Ink and the 2 1/2″ x 3″ Very Vanilla cs to stamp the medium “Thank You” from the Go To Greetings stamp set on one end.
Punch the sentiment out with the smooth oval of the Double Oval Punch.
Also punch a smooth oval from the Garden Green cs. Adhere to the back of the Very Vanilla cs oval, slightly off-set.
Use the Boho Blue Ink to stamp some bubbles in the lower right-hand corner of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla cs.

Putting it all Together

Adhere the Very Vanilla cs with the Boho Blue bubbles on it to the inside of the Soft Sea Foam cs card base.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere one of the turtles to the inside.
Apply Wink of Stella to the Misty Moonlight cs “waves”.
Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the other 3 sea turtles and adhere to the background.
Adhere the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the card front to the front of the Soft Sea Foam cs card base.
Add the Boho Blue In Color Dots for more “bubbles”.

Stampin’ Up!® Turtle Friends Birthday for the Paper Players PP542- Sketch Challenge

Posted on May 27, 2021 by Theresa's Treasures

Today I have card for The Paper Players Challenge which is a sketch challenge.

Here is the card I came up with using the Turtle Friends stamp set by Stampin’ Up! This is such a cute set. My Mom loved turtles. She collected little turtle figurines. When she passed away, each of her 16 grandchildren were allowed to select one of the turtle figurines to take with them. This card is a tribute to her.

The paper on the lower third of the card is from the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper. The turtle is stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto Just Jade Card Stock (CS). The bird is stamped in Pacific Point ink onto Balmy Blue CS. The card base is Balmy Blue CS and is embossed with the new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. The rhinestones are from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
