Reindeer Fun Bundle for the Tag Sketch Challenge- Inspirations In Ink- November 2024

Here is my Reindeer Fun Bundle Tag for the Inspiration in Ink Tag Sketch Challenge!

Welcome! Thank you 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 such talented demonstrators today!

Today is a Sketch Challenge for a tag instead of a card! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects. For my project, I used the Reindeer Fun Bundle from the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalog. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.

I chose the Reindeer Fun Bundle because I wanted to have the reindeer as part of my tag. I decided to make him leaping over the tree tops! The Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (DSP) came in handy for that.

Measurements

  • Pecan Pie cardstock tag base: 3″ x 5″
  • Sentimental Christmas DSP: Snowflake Design: 2 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
  • Basic White cardstock: 1/2″ x 3″ (sentiment) and 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (to stamp the snowflake, deer and bells)
  • Shaded Spruce cardstock: 1 3/4″ x 1 3/4″ (for wreath)
  • Winter Meadow DSP: Tree design, 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ to die cut with a Deckled Circle Die

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Reindeer Fun, Snowy Wonder and Greetings of the Season
  • Dies: Reindeer Fun and Deckled Circles
  • Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Real Red Ink Pad and Pecan Pie Ink Pad
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Light & Dark Pecan Pie, Medium Combo Pack, Medium Deep Combo Pack and Medium Light Combo Pack for the deer, and Light & Dark Wild Wheat for the bells.
  • Stampin’ Write Marker: Real Red to color the ribbon on the bells
  • Embellishment: Iridescent Faceted Gems
  • Ribbon: Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon and Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (both are Online Exclusives)

Instructions

  1. Line up the Pecan Pie Snowflake DSP and the Pecan Pie cardstock so the top edges are even. On the back of the Pecan Pie cardstock, make a mark 3/4″ in from each side on the top, and 3/4″ down from the top on each side. Cut between the two marks to make the tag top.
  2. Separate the DSP and cardstock. Adhere the DSP so that there is a border all the way around.
  3. Stamp the leaping deer and bells onto the Basic White cardstock with Memento Ink, Color with the Stampin’ Blends Markers as desired. Die cut the deer and bells.
  4. Use the Real Red Ink to stamp “Merry Christmas” onto the strip of Basic White cardstock.
  5. Stamp “To:” and “From:” from the Greetings of the Season stamp set onto the back of the Pecan Pie cardstock tag base.
  1. Use the Pecan Pie Ink to stamp the snowflake from the Snowy Wonder stamp set onto the Basic White cardstock. Die cut it out with one of the Deckled Circle Dies.
  2. Die cut a 2 1/2″ diameter circle with the Deckled Circle Dies from the Winter Meadow DSP.
  3. Position all of the pieces on the front of the Pecan Pie cardstock/snowflake DSP tag base.
  4. Adhere the Pecan Pie snowflake first.
  5. Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Winter Meadow DSP.
  6. Add the wreath and bells.
  7. Now use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the deer and sentiment.
  8. Punch a hole in the top of the tag. Pull the Real Red & Gold 3/8″ Dotted Ribbon through the hole. Tie the Gold trim around the ribbon into a bow.
  9. Embellish with the Iridescent Faceted Gems. I placed the gems in the center of the snowflakes. The photos do not show them very well.

Voila!

Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-November 2024- Color Challenge with Decorative Trees

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 for this Holiday Vibes Color Challenge with Decorative Trees. 

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. The challenge is very exciting today!

There were two color palettes to choose from- Traditional Colors & Coastal Colors. So this month’s theme for me ended up being “This or That?”since I couldn’t decide which color palette to go with.

Here are my four cards showcasing the beautiful colors of each palette.

The Traditional Colors are Garden Green, Real Red, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist and Peach Pie. The Coastal Colors are Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.

My Project for today

This card was made with the Decorative Trees Bundle. The Merry Christmas sentiment came from the Reindeer Fun stamp set.

The reason I found this so exciting is that it challenged me to figure out which colors to use, and how to combine them onto one card. And I had a great time making all of the little stars and ornaments to decorate the trees with!

This card is made with the Traditional Colors. It does take a little time to make as you will be die cutting the trees, stars, garlands and ornaments. It is a lot of fun as well!

The Coastal Colors are used to create this card. Anotrher fun creation!

The other supplies I used are: Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Pecan Pie Cardstock, Crumb Cake Cardstock, Silver Trim (Online Exclusive), Rhinestone Basic Jewels and the Adhesive Sheets.

TIP: In order to avoid getting glue or tape where you don’t want it, use the Adhesive sheets on the top layer of the trees as well as for all of the decorations.

This or That?

Let me know it you like: This?-Traditional Colors or That?-Coastal Colors in the comments.

The AWOW Team

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. 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! 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!

Hey Chuck Bundle for the Inspirations in Ink November 2023 Blog Hop

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 Hey Chuck Bundle projects. The Hey Chuck Bundle is in the Annual Catalog. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.

I decided to make a Christmas card with the Hey Chuck chickens to spotlight the versatility of this set. I stamped the hat and scarf from the Beary Cute stamp set in the 2023 Mini Catalog. The lovely sentiment is also from the Beary Cute stamp set.

I used Wink of Stella to make the chicken very sparkly! Just right for the holidays!

Measurements

  • Poppy Parade cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • Basic White cardstock: 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ (for the diecut Deckled Rectangle inside), 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ (for the diecut Deckled Circle on front), 1/2″ x 3″ for the sentiment and enough to stamp the images.
  • Shaded Spruce cardstock: 2 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
  • Brights 6″x 6″ DSP in Poppy Parade, striped pattern: 2″ x 5 1/2″
  • Daffodil Delight cardstock: 2″ x 2 1/2″ (for the diecut sun)

Supplies

  • Hey Chuck Bundle
  • Beary Cute stamp set
  • Deckled Rectangles & Deckled Circles Dies
  • Ink: Memento, Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Shaded Spruce
  • Wink of Stella
  • Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Instructions

  1. Die cut the Deckled Circle (#6 from center), the Deckled Rectangle (#6 from center) and the sun.
  2. Use Memento Ink to stamp the two chickens and the tree (from Beary Cute). Diecut the chickens after you color them with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers as desired.
  3. Use Shaded Spruce Ink to stamp the inside of the tree. Fussy cut the tree.
  4. Stamp two hats and one scarf in Shaded Spruce Ink. Fussy cut.
  5. Also use the Shaded Spruce Ink to stamp the “Merry Christmas” sentiment from Beary Cute onto the 1/2″ x 3″ Basic White cardstock strip. Cut the ends into a banner.
  6. Use Poppy Parade Ink to stamp “Rise and Shine” on the Deckled Rectangle (portrait orientation). I had to stamp a few stars around the inside sentiment because I was covering up a halo-oopsy!
  7. Adhere the Brights Designer Series Paper Poppy Parade, stripe pattern, onto the Shaded Spruce cardstock.
  8. Adhere this to the card front, slightly to the left.
  9. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Deckled Circle to the card front.
  10. Adhere the sun with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Stampin’ Seal.
  11. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the colored fat chicken to the card front. Add the scarf and hat.
  12. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals on each end of the sentiment, and glue in the center to adhere the sentiment banner.

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″

Inspirations in Ink-Christmas in July Blog Hop-July 2022-Stampin’ Up! Trees for Sale Whimsical Christmas Card

Welcome to the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop showcasing my Trees for Sale Whimsical Christmas Card. This month the theme is “Christmas in July”. The stamp set I chose for this card is Trees for Sale. I also used the Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder and the Fabulous Frame Dies.

Trees for Sale Whimsical Christmas Card

Here’s how to make a Trees for Sale Whimsical Christmas Card for yourself:

Measurements/ Supplies

  • Mint Macaron card stock card base: 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at
    5 1/2 inches
  • Shaded Spruce card stock: two 4 x 5 1/4 inches embossed with the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder

  • Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker

Trees for Sale Whimsical Christmas Card

Instructions for the Trees for Sale Whimsical Christmas Card

Step 1- 3D Technique

  1. Start by using the White Craft Ink pad to drag it across both Shaded Spruce card stock card pieces embossed with the Whimsical Woodland 3D embossing folder. The “before and after” is pictured above. The White Craft Ink really helps the tree design pop! Set aside to dry.

Step 2-Stamping with Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper

  1. Take the center out of both of the Basic White card stock Fabulous Frame die cuts to stamp on.
  2. Use Soft Suede Ink to stamp the “trees for sale” sign on one of the Basic White card stock card pieces. Stamp a sign on a piece of the Masking Paper. (I used a pink sticky note so you could see what I was masking a little better)
  3. Fussy cut the sign from the Masking Paper. Cover the trees for sale sign on the stamped card piece with the Masking Paper sign.
  4. Use Mint Macaron Ink to stamp the solid small and medium sized trees.
  5. Stamp a small tree on the Masking Paper and fussy cut it.
  6. Use Shaded Spruce to stamp the detailed tree on the small tree only.
  7. Cover the small tree with the tree you cut from the Masking Paper.

Step 3-More Masking

  1. Use Shaded Spruce ink to stamp the detailed tree on all the medium trees.
  2. Remove the Masking Paper from the small tree and the Trees for Sale sign.

Step 4-Stamping the Scene

  1. Use Memento Ink to stamp the string of lights. Color the lights with Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers.
  2. Stamp some snowflakes and the paw prints in Balmy Blue Ink.
  3. On a scrap of Basic White card stock, stamp the dog in Soft Suede Ink. Use the Stampin’ Write Basic Black Marker to add some eyes, a nose and some spots to the dog. Fussy cut. (I cut the bottom jaw off because my dog did not look right with the jaw on)
  4. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the dog to the scene.
  5. Stamp the sentiment “Christmas Greetings” in Real Red Ink on the 3/4 x 3 inch Basic White card stock strip.

Step 5-Stamping the Inside

  1. On the second Basic White card stock Fabulous Frame die cut, stamp “so very merry” in Real Red Ink.
  2. Stamp the snowflakes in Balmy Blue Ink.

Step 6-Assembling the Inside

  1. Assemble the inside of the card. Adhere one of the Shaded Spruce card stock embossed with the Whimsical Woodland embossing folder to the inside of the Mint Macaron card stock card base.
  2. Adhere the stamped Basic White card stock.

Stamping Your Own Designer Series Paper (DSP)

Start out by stamping the largest snowflake in Highland Heather Ink onto the 4 x 6 inch Highland Heather CS. Then Stamp Off once when stamping the next to the largest snowflake.

Next use the Gorgeous Grape Ink and the medium sized snowflakes to stamp in the empty spaces.

To finish this card piece, stamp in Misty Moonlight Ink using the group of tiny snowflakes. This may not look great at this point, but when it is cut up and adhered to the card it will look fantastic!

More Stamping

The next step is to stamp the front of the card. Start by using the Misty Moonlight Ink to stamp the sentiment “Thank You Snow Much” onto the 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 inch Basic White CS. Then Stamp Off once using the largest snowflake with Highland Heather Ink. Using the next to the largest snowflake, stamp at full strength using Highland Heather Ink.

Use the Gorgeous Grape Ink to stamp a medium sized snowflake around the edges.

Finish this card piece by stamping the group of medium snowflakes in Misty Moonlight Ink.

Use the Misty Moonlight Ink with the group of medium snowflakes to stamp around the upper left-hand corner of the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Basic White CS. This will be the inside of the card.

Assembling the Snowflake Wishes Thank You Gift Card Holder

The first step is to cut up the DSP that you made. Cut at 2 1/4 inches and 3 1/4 inches.

Fold the Gorgeous Grape CS card base at the 5 1/2 inch score line. Then fold at the 2 1/2 inch score line. Adhere the 2 3/4 x 4 inch DSP to the left and the 2 1/4 x 4 inch DSP to the right.

Adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Basic White CS to the inside. Then adhere the 1 x 4 inch DSP to the right-hand side of the Basic White CS.

Punch the end with the Label Me Lovely Punch to create a notch.

Turn the card front over and apply Tear & Tape Adhesive to the upper and lower edges. Tip: Use the Take Your Pick tool to peel the protective cover off.

Fold the card front to adhere the edges and make the pocket for the gift card.
