Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-June 2025- Out of the Box Challenge with Florals in Bloom

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).

2025 marks a special milestone. We are celebrating 5 fabulous years of creative inspiration together! In order to honor the occasion, we are CASEing (Copy and Selectively Editing) one of our talented members each month. This month we are happy to focus on the unique and awesome work of Mikaela Titheridge from The Crafty Oink Pen.

The AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. “Out of the Box” is this month’s theme because Mikaela often uses projects in a new and unique way. I chose one of Mikaela’s unique cards to CASE.

I also got some inspiration from a card done by Stamptastic Designs.

My Project for today

This card was made using several different stamp sets: Pretty Florals, Trusty Tools, Terrific Toadstools and Simply Said. The focus is really on the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper. I am so in love with this patterned paper! Each design is just wonderful!

When I saw Mikaela’s card with the torn paper, I knew that I wanted to make one too. I did mine a little bit differently. Instead of having a front panel, I have a split card front.

I made a second card as I was having so much fun tearing paper! Here is the other version.

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. 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 fabulous projects!

We all love sharing the joy of creating with you through projects from our individual parts of the world. I hope that you will be filled with lots of inspiration!

Embossing Techniques for the Inspirations in Ink July 2024 Blog Hop

See how to use Embossing Techniques to make this card!

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. Be sure to check out everyone’s projects using different Embossing Techniques. The projects could be using embossing folders or projects using embossing powder or embossing paste. Lots of wonderful possibilities!

There are some Embossing Techniques that I used for this card today and I will include a few tips.

Measurements

  • Summer Splash cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ (10.5cm x 29.7cm scored at 14.85cm)
  • Summer Splash cardstock: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ (10cm x 14.4cm)
  • Basic White cardstock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ (9.3cm x 13.7cm) inside and
    2 1/4″ x 4″ (5.7cm x 10cm) sentiment
  • 2024-2026 Glimmer Specialty Paper in Summer Splash:
    1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (3.5cm x 14.4cm)
  • Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper in Summer Splash: 3″ x 5 1/4″ (9.6cm x 14.4cm)

Supplies

  • Stamp Set: Happiest Day and Throughout the Year
  • Dies: Everyday Details
  • Embossing Folder: Fern 3D
  • Ink:Versamark
  • Embossing Powder: WOW! Metallics Embossing Powders-silver
  • Embellishments: Metallic Gems-silver
  • Ribbon:Gold & Silver Combo Trim

Basic Embossing Kit

If you are new to using Embossing Powders-Welcome! You will be amazed at how fun it is to see the embossing powder change-it’s magical! For basic embossing and most embossing techniques you will need:

Stampin’ Up! has two awesome embossing powder collections. You can click on the image above or order from my Online Store HERE.

Check out this fun Embossing Technique below!

Instructions

Using an Embossing Folder to Emboss Cardstock

  1. First emboss the Summer Splash cardstock with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. TIP: Spritz the cardstock so that the paper is slightly damp in order to get the best 3D look after you emboss it. Set aside.

Embossing the Sentiment

  1. Die cut the 2 1/4″ x 4″ (5.7cm x 10cm) Basic White cardstock with the third from the smallest rectangle die in the Everyday Details Dies.
  2. Very Important TIP: Use an anti-static tool on the cardstock prior to using embossing powder. This avoids having the embossing powder stick to anything except your stamped image/sentiment.
  3. After using the anti-static tool, stamp the sentiment and the sun rays with Versamark Ink. Versamark is an ink that is also an adhesive so the embossing powder will stick to it.
  4. Sprinkle the embossing powder over the Versamark. Shake off the excess into a plastic container or onto a coffee filter. TIP:The coffee filter will not have as much static as paper, so the powder can easily be returned to the container.
  5. TIP: After embossing, use a small paintbrush to remove any extra embossing powder before using the Heat Tool.
  6. Turn on the Heat Tool and wait about 10 seconds for it to warm up.
  7. TIP: Hold the Heat Tool about 4-6 inches (10-15cm) away from the cardstock. Heat the back first for about 10 seconds. Then heat from the front, moving the heat around until the embossing powder melts (turns).
  8. TIP: As soon as the embossing powder turns (here’s the magic!) remove the heat from that area. Overheating can cause the image/sentiment to not look as crisp.
  9. TIP: After the entire image/sentiment has turned, allow it to cool. The embossing powder is basically melted plastic and will stick to your skin and burn you if you touch it before it has cooled. (Ask me how I know!)
  10. Use a microfiber cloth to remove any excess powder.

Inside of the Card-Embossing

  1. Now for the Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card. Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment from the Thoughout the Year stamp set in Versamark. Emboss with the Silver Embossing Powder same as above. Heat & cool.
  2. Stamp the butterfly from the Happiest Day stamp set in Versamark Ink onto the right lower corner of the inside card piece. Heat. Cool. Adhere this piece to the inside panel of the Summer Splash cardstock card base.

Embossing Technique- Embossing the Edge of the Paper

  1. Now for a fun Embossing Technique!
  2. Tear the right side of the long edge of the Summer Splash Glimmer Paper and Thoughtful Design Specialty Paper.
  1. Use the Versamark Ink pad to dab Versamark onto the torn edge.
  2. Dip the edge in the Silver Embossing Powder that is in a plastic container or shake a bit out onto just the edge. Shake off the excess powder. Use the Heat Tool the same as above. Cool.
  3. Repeat with the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.

Assembling the Card

  1. Adhere the torn and embossed Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper to the Summer Splash cardstock embossed with the Fern 3D embossing folder.
  2. Adhere the torn and embossed Summer Splash Glimmer Paper to the left of the Thoughtful Designs Specialty Paper.
  3. Use a Mini Glue Dot to hold one end of the Silver Trim to the back of the card piece. Wrap around three times and secure to the back with another Mini Glue Dot.
  4. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the card piece to the front panel of the Summer Splash cardstock card base.
  5. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.
  6. Embellish the card front with the Metallic Gems as desired.

Voila!

Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed my project and my Embossing Technique. You will be inspired when you visit all the blogs in the Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop! There are some awesome projects!

Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop-August 2023- Earthen Textures Thank You Card

Hello! Welcome to Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for August 2023. I’m Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts & I have an Earthen Textures Thank You card today.

I am so glad you are joining me! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in training to help us build a successful Stampin’ Up! business. My goal is to participate in the monthly Blog Hop. 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.

Measurements

  • Copper Clay cardstock card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ with a score line at
    5 1/2″
  • Very Vanilla cardstock: 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″, 2″ x 2 1/2″, 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ and 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ (inside)
  • Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4″ x 5 1/4″

Supplies

  • Earthen Textures stamp set
  • Ink: Pecan Pie, Copper Clay, Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve
  • Brushed Metallic Dots
  • Natural 1/4″ Wavy Trim
  • Bone Folder
  • Foam Adhesive Strips
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Paper snips

Instructions

  1. Stamp Off a clay pot onto the bottom of the 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ Very Vanilla cardstock.
  2. Also stamp a clay pot in Copper Clay Ink onto the 2″ x 2 1/2″ Very Vanilla cardstock. Fussy cut this pot. Note: I did not use the Earthen Textures Dies to cut out the pot because the die cuts off the edges of the pot.
  3. Place a sticky note over the bottom of the Stamped Off clay pot. This will prevent the stems from showing at the bottom.
  4. Stamp the various branches and leaf fronds so that they appear to be in the Stamped Off clay pot. I used Pecan Pie Ink for the full leaf frond, Pretty Peacock Ink for the open leaf frond and Moody Mauve Ink for the branch with the small flowers on it.
  5. Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Pretty Peacock Ink onto the 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ Very Vanilla cardstock strip.
  1. For the inside of the card, stamp the various branches in the same colors that you used on the front of the card.
  2. Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Copper Clay cardstock card base.
  3. Adhere the Earthen Elegance DSP to the front of the card base.
  4. Adhere the Very Vanilla cardstock with the Stamped Off pot and branches to the card front.
  5. Use your Bone Folder on the fussy cut clay pot to curl the cardstock. This will create a curved 3D pot.
  6. Apply a Foam Adhesive Strip down the center of the curved pot.
  7. Adhere the curved pot to the card front over the Stamped Off clay pot.
  8. Apply Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the right side of the sentiment. Use a drop of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the back of the left side. Adhere the sentiment to the card front.
  9. Pull 2 strings off of the Wavy Ribbon and tie a bow. Adhere to the top of the clay pot with a mini Glue dot.
  10. Embellish with the copper Metallic Dots.

Voila!
