Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop-April 2023- Nested Friends Thank You Card

Hello! Welcome to the Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for April 2023. I’m Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts & I have a Nested Friends Thank You card today. I am so glad you are joining me! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. We 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.

Today is a bittersweet day because my beloved trio of Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana & Pool Party are no more. Sadly Bermuda Bay is being retired. Soft Suede & Sahara Sand are also retiring. I really enjoyed making this card with my favorite colors.

The Nested Friends Bundle (save 10%) is available while supplies last until May 1, 2023. After that you can purchase the stamp & the dies separately without the 10% discount in the Online Exclusives.

A list of the “Last Chance” products will be at the end of this blog. Shop now as many products have already sold out.

Measurements

  • Bermuda Bay card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ with a score line at 5 1/2″
  • Coastal Cabana cs: 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 1/2″ x 5″
  • Pool Party cs: 2 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ and 1/2″ x 2″ strip for diecutting the eggs

  3. Diecut the inner (Sahara Sand) & outer (Soft Suede) nests.
    Tip: Use your Silicon Craft Sheet so that when you apply Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the outer nest you will not get glue everywhere (ask me how I know!) Then use tweezers to position the outer nest to the inner nest.

3. Use the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder to emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Coastal Cabana cs.

2 3/8″ x 3 5/8″ Bermuda Bay cs. Now adhere the Painted Texture card piece to the card front.

6. Adhere the Hues of Happiness DSP to the 1 5/8″ x 4 5/8″ Bermuda Bay cs. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere this piece to the card front.

7. Adhere the 2 eggs to the inside of the nest. Then adhere the nest to the card front using a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right side and Liquid Glue on the left side.

8. Place the birds in the nest & adhere them.

9. Use a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right side of the sentiment and Liquid Glue on the left to adhere it to the card front.

Inspirations in Ink March 2023- Blending Brush Technique with Lighting the Way Bundle-Inspirational Card

Today I have a super charming and inspirational card spotlighting the Blending Brush Technique using the Lighting the Way Bundle & the Small Blending Brushes.

Welcome! Thanks for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts! I am Theresa and I am a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. Today is the monthly Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop! I am excited to be hopping with awesome demonstrators from around the world. Be sure to check out everyone’s projects using different Techniques.

The Lighting the Way Bundle and Small Blending Brushes I am using today are in 2023 Jan-April Mini Catalog. You may order what you need from my Online Store HERE.

Measurements

  • Pumpkin Pie card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ (10.4cm x 29.5cm scored at 14.7cm)
  • Basic Black cs: two at 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10.1cm x 14.2cm) and 2″ x 4″
    (5cm x 10cm)
  • Basic White cs: two at 4″ x 5 1/4″ (10.1cm x 14.2cm) and 1 1/2″ x
    2 1/2″ (3.8cm x 6.4cm)
  • Silver Foil cs: 2″ x 3 1/2″ (5cm x 9cm)
  • Real Red cs: 2 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ (6.3cm x 8.2cm)
  • Mango Melody cs: 1″ x 3″ (2.5cm x 7.5cm)

Supplies

  • Lighting the Way Bundle
  • Deckled Rectangle Dies
  • Layering Circles Dies
  • Ink: So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Night of Navy
  • 4 Small Blending Brushes
  • Black Stampin’ Dimensionals Combo Pack
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels
  • Wink of Stella
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • scrap copy paper
  • Full Stick Sticky Notes (not sold by Stampin’ Up!)

Instructions

Most important tip: Getting a nice smooth blend takes practice.

  1. Use the largest Deckled Rectangle Die to cut a rectangle from the each of the larger Basic White cs. One will be the card front & one will be the inside.
  2. Use the scrap copy paper under the card front.
  3. Die cut the lantern from the Real Red cs.
  4. Lay the Real Red cs lantern on the card front so that it is about 3/4 inch (2cm) from the bottom edge & from the left edge. Make a very light pencil mark to delineate the inside “cage” around the light.

Using the Small Blending Brushes

  1. The Small Blending Brushes make it is easier to put color in a more precise location.
  2. Start with the So Saffron Ink Pad & a Blending Brush.
  3. Tip: Hold the brush by the end away from the brush to help in applying a light pressure to the ink pad.
  4. Move the brush over the So Saffron Ink Pad in a gentle circular motion to apply ink evenly to the brush.
  5. Tip: Tap & swirl to remove extra ink. Tap the brush on a scrap paper. Make a few circles (swirl) on the scrap paper before applying the brush & ink to your project.
  6. Apply a light layer of the So Saffron Ink inside the pencil marks. The color should be barely noticeable, soft & smooth.
  7. Use the smallest smooth edge circle die & cut two layers of the Full Stick Sticky Note.
  8. Apply the top Sticky Note circle to the area inside the pencil marks over the So Saffron Ink. Erase the pencil marks.
  9. Use the same brush & the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Apply ink to the brush. Tap & swirl on the scrap copy paper first. Then apply the brush to the area around the Sticky Note in a small circles going around the perimeter of the Sticky Note.
  10. Tip: Start light & go slow. You can add more ink, but if it is too dark you’re stuck with it.
  11. You may need 3-4 layers of the Daffodil Delight Ink to get a dark color that blends and is smooth.
  12. Tip: Swirl the Small Blending Brush on the copy paper in a circular motion until the ink comes off. Now use the Mango Melody Ink Pad and apply a slightly darker ring around the very edge of the Daffodil Delight layer. Start light & repeat until you like the effect.

Blending in the Night Sky

  1. Use the Starry Sky Ink Pad and a new Small Blending Brush. Tap off ink on the copy paper after each application of ink to the brush. Darker ink colors are more challenging to get smooth.
  2. Apply ink to the 4 corners of the card front. It will be very light at first. You will need about 8-10 layers of color to get it as dark as I did.
  3. Tip: Leave a white ring between the Mango Melody and the Starry Sky layers.
  4. Blend the Starry Sky layer up to the white ring using the Orchid Oasis Ink and a new Small Blending Brush. Start blending on top of the Starry Sky layer, and move in small circles with light pressure towards the Mango Melody.
  5. Tip: Do not allow the Orchid Oasis layer to blend with the Mango Melody layer. You will get a muddy green color. (Ask me how I know!)
  6. Finish with a new Small Blending Brush & the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Apply a little color to the corners and border of the card front.

Inside of the card

  1. Blend some Mango Melody Ink on the lower right-hand corner of the Basic White cs Deckled Rectangle for the inside of the card.
  2. Blend in some Starry Sky Ink from outside the corner moving toward the Mango Melody. Try not to overlap the 2 colors.
  3. Diecut a large firefly from the Basic Black cs and the Mango Melody cs.
  4. Adhere the pieces together with the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  5. Adhere flat to the lower right-hand corner.
  6. Adhere the inside card piece to the Basic Black cs layer.
  7. Adhere to the inside panel of the Pumpkin Pie cs card base.

Finishing Up

  • Remove the Sticky Note circle from the center of the “light”.
  • Stamp off in Pumpkin Pie Ink with the larger circular stamp in the Lighting the Way cling stamp set. Stamp the smaller circle with Pumpkin Pie Ink at full strength.
  • Adhere the Silver Foil portions of the lantern to the Real Red lantern. The Real Red cs lantern is the base. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the lantern to the card front over the light as shown.
  • Die cut the small fireflies from the Basic Black cs & the Mango Melody cs.
  • Trim the Mango Melody cs firefly and apply the abdomen to the Basic Black cs firefly.
  • Use Mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the small fireflies around the light.
  • Adhere the card front to the remaining Basic Black cs.
  • Now adhere the entire piece to the front panel of the Pumpkin Pie cs card base.
  • Stamp the sentiment onto the smaller Basic White cs in Starry Sky Ink. Use the Deckled Rectangle Dies to cut it out. You will need to do some partial die cutting to make the sentiment the correct size.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
  • Add Wink of Stella to the wings of the fireflies on the outside & inside of the card.
  • Add the small Rhinestone Basic Jewels like stars in the sky.

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery-February 2023: Beside Me Thank You Card

Hello, thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures. 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 Beside Me Thank You Card, along with 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!

The Beside Me Thank You Card showcases the Beside Me stamp set, the Blending Brushes and Small Blending Brushes, and the Deckled Rectangle Dies. The coloring is done with the Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. There is also a unique use of a stamp from the FREE Thanks a Bunch stamp set you can earn during Sale-a-bration!

Current Host Code: B223KFE9

Measurements

  • Tahitian Tide card stock (cs): 4 1/4 x 11 inches scored at
    5 1/2 inches
  • Basic White cs: 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches, 4 x 5 1/4 inches 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches and 2 x 2 1/2 inches(sentiment)

Supplies

  • Beside Me Stamp Set
  • Deckled Rectangle Dies
  • Layering Circles Dies
  • Ink: Mango Melody, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Tahitian Tide, Basic Grey and Memento Black.
  • Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers: Fresh Freesia, Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Medium Combo (400& 500), Medium Light (700) and Bronze.

Instructions

Top Layer

  • Lay the 3rd from the largest Deckled Rectangle in the center of the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inch Basic White cs. Use a pencil to lightly trace the inside of the bottom. Note: This will help with stamp placement.
  • Use the Stamparatus to position the stamp with the image of the man and children fishing. Stamp in Memento Ink. Also stamp an image onto a piece of full-stick sticky note paper.
  • Place the Deckled Rectangle Die back on the Basic White cs using the traced pencil line on the inside of the die as a guide.
  • Partially cut the Deckled Rectangle leaving the area with the pencil mark uncut. This is called a Partial Die Cut. Position the top clear plate at the border of the area to cut. Then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The die that is not under the clear plate will not cut.
  • Fussy cut the top of the image of the man & children on the Basic White cs and the sticky note paper. Cut off the fishing poles. These will be drawn in later. Place the sticky paper over the image.
  • Use a repositionable tape runner to adhere the 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inch Basic White cs to the back of the die cut card piece. This will be the background piece.

Blending

  • Now for the fun part! Use the Blending Brushes and Small Blending Brushes to create the sunrise on the water.
  • Start by die cutting a 1 inch circle from the full-stick sticky note paper.
  • Use sticky note tape to create the horizon.
  • Use a Small Blending Brush to lightly apply some Mango Melody Ink to the area where you want the sun to rise. Then cover with the 1 inch sticky circle.
  • Start with the Mango Melody Ink and blend in a darker halo around the “sun”.
  • Then use the Small Blending Brushes to blend in Pool Party Ink followed by Coastal Cabana Ink. Use the larger Blending Brush to apply the Tahitian Tide Ink. Note: If you want the color to be as dark as my card, be patient. It takes awhile.
  • Remove the sticky note circle and horizon sticky note tape.
  • Move the “horizon” so that you can create the water. Tip: Place the sticky note tape for the horizon with a millimeter or two of the horizon showing underneath. This avoids having a white line between the sky and the water.
  • Apply a light layer of Mango Melody Ink under the “sun”. You may also leave a small amount of the space white.
  • Repeat the blending of the inks as you did for the sky. Using the small Blending Brushes, with Pool Party Ink and then Coastal Cabana Ink. Add in Bermuda Bay Ink. Use the larger Blending Brush to apply the Tahitian Tide Ink. Remove the sticky note tape.
  • Remove the sticky note paper from the image. Separate the background piece from the front.
  • Use the Blending Brushes and the inks to color in the white space on the background piece. This doesn’t have to be perfect. Color in just enough so that there is not a bright white space.

Stampin’ Blends

  • Use the Stampin’ Blends to color the man & children as desired. Colors used on this card are listed in the Supply List above and the Clickable Supply List below.
  • Use a small stamp from the FREE Thanks a Bunch stamp set to create gentle waves on the water. Waves are added to both the background and the edges of the front panel. Try the Pool Party Ink first. If you want the waves to be darker, use the Coastal Cabana Ink. Tip: less is more!
  • Adhere the background piece to the front of the Tahitian Tide cs card base.
  • Stamp the image of the flying birds in Basic Grey Ink. Note: I forgot to stamp the birds until after I had put the card together, lol!
  • Draw in the fishing poles using the Stampin’ Write Basic Black Marker.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the top layer to the card front. Take care to line up the edges and the outline of the people.

Sentiment

  • Create the sentiment by using the 3rd from the smallest Deckled Rectangle Die. By placing the die near the words, you can make a small deckled rectangle to fit just right.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.

Voila!

I hope you enjoyed my card today using the Beside Me stamp set and the new Small Blending Brushes.

The Ink & Inspiration Challenge is both an image and a color challenge. I was inspired by the feeling of warmth and peace in the image. I could picture myself relaxing on the beach with the waves rolling in. The colors were also very inspirational and add to the feeling of peace and warmth.

I had the idea of using the Window Sheets to stamp some palms on in black to be in the shade. This created a feeling of depth to my card. I had never used the Window Sheets in this way. It was very fun to create something different! The images are from the Paradise Palms stamp set.

Here is how the card looks with the Window Sheet layer opened up. Several colors were used to create the scene. These included Tahitian Tide, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Mango Melody. The colors were applied with the Blending Brushes.

  5. Brush the ink onto the moist Watercolor Paper one color at a time.
  6. TIP: In between colors, squeeze water from the Water Brush onto a paper towel until it runs clear.
  7. Dry overnight. Or use the Heat Tool to speed up the drying process.

Step 3- Assembling the Card

  1. Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Seaside Bay Dies to cut one large & one small algae from the center of the Shaded Spruce Textured Shimmer Paper. C
  2. Cut 2 small & one large seashell from the Crumb Cake cs.
  3. Adhere the Basic White cs to the inside of the Balmy Blue cs card base.
  4. Adhere the Shaded Spruce Textured Shimmer Paper to the card front.

Quick & Easy Something Fancy Thank You Card for Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop-January 2023

Hello! Thank you for visiting today to see this Quick & Easy Something Fancy Thank You Card!

Welcome to the Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for January 2023. I’m Theresa with Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts. I am so glad you are joining me today! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. We are taking part in training to help us build a successful Stampin’ Up! business. Today’s card will be my customer Thank You card for anyone ordering from my Online Store in January. This blog hop is also full of ideas and creative inspiration! Be sure to visit everyone’s blog by clicking on the links at the end of my blog.

This Quick & Easy Something Fancy Thank You Card is made using the awesome Fancy Flora 6 x 6 inch Designer Series Paper. The “Thank You” sentiment is part of a must-have sentiment set Something Fancy. The Something Fancy stamp set has sentiments for a variety of common card themes!

The beauty of the Quick & Easy Something Fancy Thank You Card is that you can use a variety of the Stampin’ Up! colors. TIP: The coordinating colors are always listed on the back of the package of Designer Series Paper. The colors for the Fancy Flora DSP that I chose are: Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia & Calypso Coral.

Measurements

  • Basic White card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4 x 11 inches with a score line at 5 1/2 inches
  • Basic White cs: 2 x 2 inches for the sentiment
  • Colored cs: 3 3/4 x 5 inches & 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches
  • Fancy Flora DSP: 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches

Supplies

  • Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Iridescent Pastel Gems
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine or Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Take Your Pick Tool (for moving the gems)

This version of my Quick & Easy Something Fancy Thank You Card is done with Orchid Oasis cs.

Instructions

  1. Stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Orchid Oasis Ink onto the
    2 x 2 inch Basic White cs.
  2. Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the second to the smallest stitched square die in the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the sentiment.
  3. Adhere the Fancy Flora DSP to the Orchid Oasis cs. Then adhere the panel to the front of the Basic White cs card base.
  4. Use glue to adhere the 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inch Orchid Oasis cs square to the sentiment at a slight angle. Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front.

Now for some Bling! The Iridescent Pastel Gems come in 3 colors-Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral and Gold. I used 3 of the Balmy Blue gems around the sentiment to add a little sparkle!

Voila!

Use a variety of the designs in the Fancy Flora DSP along with different colors of card stock to create your own set of the Quick & Easy Something Fancy Thank You Card!

Kylie’s International Blog Highlights Gallery-January 2023: Two-Tone Flora & Something Fancy Thank You

I am so excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Two-Tone & Something Fancy Thank You card, along with 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 really is important to show your appreciation to the people in your life who have helped you or inspired you in some way. And don’t forget those who have supported you. Be sure to send a handmade thank you card to express your appreciation often. Spread joy! We really need more joy in the world today!

This thank you card spotlights the Two-Tone Flora stamp set, Two-Tone Flora Dies, Something Fancy stamp set & Something Fancy Dies, The Embossing Folder is the new Cane Weave 3D. The cool geometric paper is the Dandy Designs 12 x 12 inch Designer Series Paper (DSP), FREE during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying order. The current Host Code is MBR2U6TN.

Measurements

  • Basic White card stock (cs) card base: 4 1/4 x 11 inches with a score line at 5 1/2 inches
  • Basic White cs: 2 x 2 inches (to stamp & die cut the sentiment),
    3 x 3 inches (to die-cut the stitched circle) and enough scrap to stamp all of the images on
  • Calypso Coral cs: 4 x 5 1/4 inches
  • Petal Pink cs: 1 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches (to die cut the banner) and
    2 1/4 x 5 1/8 inches
  • Dandy Designs DSP: 2 x 5 inches

Supplies

Instructions

  • I recommend using the Stamparatus for Two-Step Stamping. I find it is much easier to line up the second stamp. Each flower is a Two-Step Stamp. Stamp the larger part of the flower in Petal Pink Ink first. Then stamp the detailed stamp in Calypso Coral. The small bunch of flowers is stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink first. Then stamped in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Use the Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker to draw the center of each of the Petal Pink flowers.
  • Next, stamp the “Thank You” sentiment in Blackberry Bliss Ink. Die cut the sentiment using the Something Fancy Dies.
  • Use the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut the 2 1/2 inch stitched circle and the banner.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to emboss the 4 x 5 1/4 inch Calypso Coral cs with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder
  • Adhere the Cane Weave card piece to the front of the Basic White cs card base.
  • Adhere the Dandy Designs DSP to the 2 1/4 x 5 1/8 inch Petal Pink cs. Then adhere this to the left side of the card front.
  • Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment.
  • Adhere the Petal Pink cs banner. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Basic White cs stitched circle.
  • Place the flowers as desired. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals on some flowers. Add the leaves.
  • Color the White Seam Binding Ribbon with the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Marker. Tie into a bow. Adhere to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot.

Bling! Use the Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots in Petal Pink to add Bling! to the card front.

Voila!

Experiment with different colors to see which one you like best!
