Garden Meadow Bundle for the Inspirations in Ink August 2024 Blog Hop

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! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects. For my project, I used the Online Exclusive Garden Meadow Bundle. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.

I chose the Garden Meadow Bundle because I love gardening! Flowers are my favorite! I love to play in the dirt! Somehow that is very grounding.

And living in the desert, I am able to see a lot of wildlife. There are two varieties of quail visiting my garden daily.

  • Basic White cardstock: 3″ x 4 1/2″ to die cut the Deckled Rectangle and 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ for the sentiment. 3 3/4″ x 5″ for the inside. You will need scrap to stamp all of the images on.

Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You Card for Bruno & Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Group Blog Hop-January 2024

Hello! Welcome to Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Free Demonstrator Training Group Blog Hop for January 2024. I am Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts and I have a Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You card for you today. Thanks so much for joining me today!

We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. We are members of this free training group to help us build a successful Stampin’ Up! business. My goal this year is to continue to participate in the monthly Blog Hop to show you the card I will send my customers as a thank you for ordering from me. The Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You Card should be a fun card to receive!

This blog hop is full of ideas and creative inspiration! Be sure to visit everyone’s blog by clicking on the links at the end of my blog. Please leave some comments so we know how we are doing.

Why did I make this Thoughtful Expressions Shaker Thank You Card? My sister wanted to learn how to make shaker cards. The basic card was one of the samples I showed her. When I saw the beautiful hummingbird in the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set, I thought–why not add a hummingbird to the front? So I had my idea for my customer thank you card!

Measurements

  • Blueberry Bushel cardstock (cs): 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
  • Blueberry Bushel cs: 4 x 5 1/4″ for front panel that is diecut
  • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper: 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ for the hummingbird and 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ for the inside panel
  • Basic White card stock (cs): 2″ x 2″ for sentiment on front
  • Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper (DSP) an Online Exclusive!: 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Window Sheets: 3 3/4″ x 5″

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Thoughtful Expressions and Wildlife Wonder (sentiment)
  • Dies: Thoughtful Expressions and Garden Meadow
  • Ink: Pads: Blueberry Bushel, Smoky Slate and Memento; Re-Inkers: Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia and Crushed Curry
  • Embellishments: Iridescent Shaker Circles
  • Additional: Foam Adhesive Strips, Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and Wink of Stella

Instructions

Shaker Card

  1. Diecut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Blueberry Bushel cs with the large arched window die in the Garden Meadow Dies. With the same die, diecut the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Meandering Meadow DSP.
  2. Lay the Blueberry Bushel cs diecut panel on the front of the card base.
  3. Apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the arched window you diecut from the DSP. Insert it in the Blueberry Bushel cs frame to adhere it to the front of the card base.
  1. Remove the Blueberry Bushel cs frame. Flip this over and adhere the Window Sheet. Place Stampin’ Dimensionals in the corners and on the sides.
  1. Tip #1: to reduce the sequins sticking to the edge of the Foam Adhesive Strip, apply the Embossing Buddy to the edge that will be facing inside the shaker. ( first photo below)
  2. Tip #2: to help the Foam Adhesive Strip cover the archway and remain flat, use your Paper Snips to make a nick in the outside edge. (second photo below with arrows)
  3. Add the Iridescent Circles to the inside of the area framed with the Foam Adhesive Strips. (second photo below)
  4. Remove the protective cover on the Foam Adhesive Strips as well as the Stampin’ Dimensionals on the frame with the window sheet. Turn the frame over and carefully adhere it to the Foam Adhesive Strips and the front of the card base. (third photo below)
  1. Yay! the shaker card is done. Now for the decorating!

Watercoloring the Hummingbird

  1. Ink up the hummingbird with Smokey Slate Ink. Use a Sponge Dauber to apply Memento Ink to the face, bill and neck. Stamp on to the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
  1. Drop one drop of Orchid Oasis Ink from the Re-Inker onto a clear block. Use a small paint brush. Put the paint brush in water and touch it to a small amount of the Orchid Oasis Ink. Spread it on the clear block until it is diluted. Then apply it to the hummingbird wings. Follow with the remaining colors making some areas light and some dark for shading. Add the Wink of Stella if desired.

Finishing the card

  1. Use the Thoughtful Expressions Die to diecut the Watercolor Paper for the inside. Stamp the small sprig of flowers in Smoky Slate Ink. Watercolor with Crushed Curry, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Inks. Adhere to the inside of the card base.
  1. Use Blueberry Bushel Ink to stamp the sentiment from the Wildlife Wonder stamp set, onto the Basic White cs. Diecut with the smallest of the Thoughtful Expressions dies.
  2. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the hummingbird and sentiment to the card front.
