Around the World On Wednesday Blog Hop-June 2024- The Adventures of Benji with Submarine Life

Posted on June 12, 2024June 11, 2024 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 for the Adventures of Benji!

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 Adventures of Benji is this month’s theme.

Today’s hop is special because of Benji. Benji is Angie’s little Shih Tzu. He is her stamping and walking buddy. He is so full of personality! He will want Angie to carry him after a short walk, but he loves to run and play soccer! He also loves cheese, eggs, popcorn and anything with butter.

Angie promised Benji she would take him on a trip around the world- so here he goes!

First he is going to travel to the coast of California from where I am in Bisbee Arizona. He is going by submarine up to British Columbia Canada to visit Lori Wilcox. Hense, the inspiration for my card!

My Project for today

Before Benji could board the sub, the scene needed to be created. The Submarine Life Bundle is the perfect choice as there are many sea creatures so that Benji will have some friends to make along the way! This card has Craig the crab and Ollie the Octopus on the front panel.

On the inside panel are Gertrude the Guppy and her five little fishies- Gary, Geraldine, Glenda, George and Gregory. And don’t forget Sandy the Starfish!

Here is the template for this fun fold card. I hope you enjoyed the card and the story that went along with it!

To add a little Bling! I used the new 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems in Shaded Summer.

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. Benji had quite the Adventure! And 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 from Benji’s Adventures. I know I sure was!

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. Sketch 106 is this month’s challenge.

I turned the sketch around to fit my idea.

This card was made using the Spotlight on Nature Bundle. The stamp set is just beautiful. The dies are a series of layering circles with different borders.

I wanted to showcase the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper. For this card, each of the five new In Colors were chosen in a different pattern of the Designer Series Paper. The 2024-26 In Colors are: Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash and Petunia Pop.

Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia for the Ink and Inspiration Sketch 104 Challenge Blog Hop-March 2024

Posted on March 28, 2024March 26, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

Here is my Online Exclusive Simply Zinnia card for the Sketch 104 Challenge!

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to join the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge this month is a Sketch Challenge. I was already playing around with the Simply Zinnia stamp set. I had stamped a bunch of the large zinnia and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. If you haven’t tried alcohol markers yet, don’t wait any longer. The alcohol markers make coloring so fun and rewarding!

Since I already had several zinnia colored, I arranged them to correspond to the Sketch 104 Challenge. I was thrilled to see how nice they all looked together!

I love the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and but also wanted to use the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder. So I decided to emboss the Designer Series Paper. It is very subtle and adds texture to the card.

Measurements

Melon Mambo cardstock card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at
4 1/4″
Basic White cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (for stamping the zinnia & leaves), 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) and 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (for sentiment)
Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper, Petal Pink polka dot design: 4 1/8 ” x 5 3/8″ (to die cut with the largest Deckled Rectangle Die & emboss with the Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder)
NOTE: save the edges when you die cut the Deckled Rectangle to use on the inside of the card

Supplies

Stamp Set: Simply Zinnia
Dies: Simply Zinnia & Deckled Rectangle
Embossing Folder: Zinnia 3D
Ink: Blackberry Bliss and Memento Ink Pads
Stampin’ Blends: Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive & Mossy Meadow
Embellishments: Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

Instructions

Fold the Melon Mambo cardstock card base at the 4 1/4″ scoreline and burnish with the Bone Folder. Set aside.
Die cut the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper with the largerst Deckled Rectangle Die. Save the edges to use for the inside of the card.
Run the Deckled Rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Zinnia Embossing Folder. Set aside.
Use Memento Ink to stamp the large zinnia three times and the leaves twice onto the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock.
TIP: Use the Heat Tool to dry the Memento Ink. Then when you use the Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blend, the black Memento will not bleed into the Lemon Lolly.
Color the images as desired. I usually start by coloring the shadows with a the dark shade. Then I blend it with a medium shade. And finally I blend everything with the lighter color.
Die cut the zinnias and leaves with the Simply Zinnia Dies. Set aside.
Use Blackberry Bliss Ink to stamp the sentiment onto the
1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White cardstock. Stamp in the center as you will use the whole piece.
For the inside, use the scrap from cutting the Deckled Rectangle from the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series paper and adhere it to the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White cardstock as shown below.

Assembling the Card

Adhere the inside card piece to the inside of the Melon Mambo cardstock card base.

Adhere the die cut and embossed Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper to the front of the card base.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the front of of the card.
Arrange the 3 zinnias on the card front. Adhere the top zinnia flat to the card front. Use 3 thicknesses of Basic White cardstock on the back of the middle zinnia. Then adhere the bottom zinnia with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tip: place Dimensionals in the center of the back of the zinnia so you can place the leaves more easily.
Adhere the leaves.
Use Wink of Stella on the zinnia for extra sparkle.
Embellish with the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins as desired.

I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of The Sketch 104 Challenge. Be sure to visit each of the blogs below to see more ideas!

I was really inspired by all of the beautiful blues that Stampin’ Up! has! One of the awesome characteristics of Stampin’ Up products is that they all coordinate.

Painted Lavender Bundle & Baby Wipe Technique Hello card for the Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop – January 2024

Posted on January 31, 2024February 1, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

This is my Hello card made with the Painted Lavender Bundle & the Baby Wipe Technique.

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 talented demonstrators from around the world! Be sure to check out everyone’s Painted Lavender Bundle projects. The Painted Lavender Bundle is in the 2024 January to April Mini Catalog. When you are ready, you may order from my Online Store HERE.

I absolutely love purple, lavender and butterflies! The Painted Lavendar Bundle is part of the Perennial Lavendar Suite which includes all of these elements!

I wanted to use the Baby Wipe Technique to be able to have multiple colors of flowers when I used the lavender flower stamp. I love how it came out!

Instructions

Baby Wipe Technique

To set up the Baby Wipes place about 5 Baby Wipes folded in half on one side the the Standard Stamp Case.

Randomly drop a few drops of each color of ink on the pile of Baby Wipes.
Use the lavender flower stamp and tap down on the Baby Wipes in a small circular motion. Stamp onto the Basic White cs. Ink up the stamp in a different area of the Baby Wipe and stamp the bunch of lavender flowers four times (you only need two of the stamped flowers for this card).

Use the other bunch of flowers and the Baby Wipe Technique to stamp flowers on the Basic White cs for the inside of the card. Stamp the leaves in Shaded Spruce Ink. Stamp at full strenth in the center, then Stamp Off once when stamping on each side.

Gathering the Pieces

Use the 2nd to largest Perennial Postage Die to diecut the stamped Basic White cs for the inside. Adhere the cardpiece to the inside of the Crumb Cake cs card base.
Diecut the stamped lavendar flowers with the Painted Lavender Dies.
Stamp the stems in Shaded Spruce Ink onto the Basic White cs. Diecut with the Painted Lavender Dies.
Use the square Perennial Postage Die to cut from the Fresh Freesia cs. Sponge the edges with a Sponge Dauber and Gorgeous Grape Ink.
Use the Stampin’ Write Marker in Gorgeous Grape to apply ink to the butterfly postage stamp die. Carefully lay the die on the Fresh Freesia cs and run throught the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Carefully remove the die from the paper.
Stamp “Hello” in Gorgeous Grape Ink onto the strip of Basic White cs. Use the smallest rectangular die in the Perennial Postage Dies to diecut the sentiment. Also use the same die on the strip of Highland Heather Glimmer Paper.

Assembling the Card

Use the largest Perennial Postage Die to diecut the Perennial Lavendar DSP. Adhere the DSP to the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper. TIP: I used a Deckled Rectangle Die to cut the center form the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper before adhering the DSP to it.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Glimmer Paper/DSP panel to the card front.
Adhere one bunch of the lavendar flowers to the card by applying adhesive only to the base. Use the Bone Folder to curl up the edges of the flowers.

For the 2nd bunch of lavendar flowers, use Stampin’ Dimensionals on the top and an adhesive at the base. (shown above). Adhere to the top of the other bunch of lavendar flowers but shifted to the left.
Now adhere the Fresh Freesia cs postage stamp cardpiece at a slight tilt in the upper right-hand corner.
Add the stems to the base of flowers.
Next adhere the small Highland Heather Glimmer Paper diecut to the Perennial Lavendar DSP. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the “Hello” slightly lower and to the right of the Glimmer Paper.

Embellishment

Tie a bow with the White Glitter Organdy Ribbon. Then tie White Bakers Twine around the center of the bow. Tie a bow. Add to the stem of the lavendar bunch on the card front.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents.
Add one of each color of the Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the body of the butterfly.

Voila!

2024 Stampin' Up! January to April Mini Catalog, 3D Embossing Folder, Inspiration in Ink Blog Hop

Painted Lavendar & Hot Air Balloon for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop-January 2024

Posted on January 25, 2024January 23, 2024 by Theresa's Treasures

Hello fellow stampers! I am Theresa McEntee-author of Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am hopping along with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop today. You can visit super awesome blogs from around the world! The list to follow the hop is at the end of my blog post. Please stop by and see everyone’s projects!

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the image because I love spring flowers and look forward to my flower garden blooming each year. I absolutly love all of the colors! They are so vibrant and happy!

I grew up in Albuquerque New Mexico USA which is the Hot Air Balloon Capital of the World! Each year there is a Balloon Fiesta which lasts a whole week. There were over 500 hot air balloons at the 2023 Fiesta, which was attended by over 900,000 visitors! When Stampin’ Up!® brought out the Hot Air Balloon Bundle in the 2024 Mini Catalog- I was ecstatic! I could not wait to use the Hot Air Balloons with the Painted Lavender Bundle for this challenge.

Measurements

Azure Afternoon cardstock (cs) card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Azure Afternoon cs: 4″x 5 1/4″ (1st layer)
Highland Heather Glimmer Paper: 3 3/8″ x 4 5/8″
Basic White cs: two 3 3/4″ x 5″ (diecut with Perennial Postage Die-one for front & one for inside), 2″ x 4″ (to stamp balloon and diecut clouds) and 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (sentiment)
Melon Mambo cs: 2″ x 2 1/2″ to die cut balloon gandola

Supplies

Stamp Sets: Painted Lavender & Hot Air Balloon
Dies: Perennial Postage & Hot Air Balloon
Embossing Folder: Painted Textures
Ink: Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Azure Afternoon
Embellishments: Wink of Stella
Other: Blending Brush

Instructions

Fold the card base at the score line and burnish with the Bone Folder.
Emboss the 1st layer with the Painted Textures Embossing Folder (EF). Adhere to the front of the card base.
Diecut the 2 Basic White cs panels for the front & inside with the 2nd to largest Perennial Postage Die.
Stamp the 1st part of the balloon envelope with Highland Heather Ink. Stamp the 2nd part with Azure Afternoon Ink. Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2″ Basic White cs in the middle of the strip with Azure Afternoon Ink.
On one diecut Basic White cs panel, use the Blending Brush with Azure Afternoon Ink to lightly blend a cloudy sky. On the 2nd Basic White cs diecut Basic White cs, blend the ink along the edges.

To finish the 2nd panel for the inside of the card, use Granny Apple Green Ink. Stamp the grass from the Painted Lavender stamp set in the lower right-hand corner, going from tall to short as you move left. Add the tiny flowers in the Highland Heather Ink. Adhere to the inside of the Azure Afternoon cs card base.

Go back to the 1st Basic White diecut for the front of the card.The flowers & grass are from the Painted Lavender stamp set. Stamp the grass in Granny Apple Green Ink on either side of the bottom edge. Then stamp the small tight bunch of flowers in Melon Mambo on either side and in the middle. Stamp the tiny flowers in Highland Heather Ink. Next, stamp the tall thin stalk of flowers in Daffodil Delight Ink to fill in. Finally, stamp the wider stalk of flowers in Poppy Parade Ink.

Adhere to the Highland Heather Glimmer Paper. Tip: I use one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut the center out of the Glimmer Paper diecut. This helps decrease the weight of the card and you have more Glimmer Paper to play with later!

Stick the Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back so that they are attached to both the Glimmer Paper and the Basic White cs. Adhere to the card front.
Adhere 2 of the clouds flat and the 3rd cloud on Dimensionals.
Adhere the 2 pieces of the gondola together. Then adhere it to the balloon envelope.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the balloon to the card front.
Adhere the sentiment to the corner before you trim the edges. This way it will fit nicely.

I hope you give this card a try. I had such fun designing it and putting it together! Hopefully you will have fun too!
