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.
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. This or That? is this month’s theme. My project is Sunrise? or Sunset?
My Project for today
I really enjoy using the Blending Brushes and the vibrant Stampin’ Up! Inks to create the sunrise and sunset scenes.
This card was made using the Grove Dies which coordinate with the Grassy Grove stamp set. The exciting news is that these are crrying over to the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!
I really struggled with coming up wtih a This or That? for this month’s Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. I have always enjoyed playing with the Blending Brushes. I love how you can blend the inks together! Heere are photos of the sunrises and sunsets here in Arizona that I used for inspiration.
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!
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
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!

On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. March Blues is this month’s theme.
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. I did not have any trouble finding Designer Series Paper, embellishments or ribbon to go with the March Blues. I was able to color with the Stampin’ Blends to create the Filled with Happiness Good Day Card.

Welcome! Thank you for visiting Theresa’s Treasures Paper Crafts to see my Thoughtful Expressions Watercolor Card! I am Theresa, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA.

Why did I make this Thoughtful Expressions Watercolor Card? I am interested in learning to watercolor. The Stampin’ Up!® Inks are so vivid and work very well. I have been using a Nylon Round 1 paintbrush. If you would like to try watercoloring, there is a lot of trial and error. Don’t be afraid to try. There are many happy accidents that turn out well!

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 with my Stippled Roses Congratulations Card for the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop-February 2024. 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 of the roses in the center of the image. I love roses-the color, the scent, and the wonderful feeling I get when I receive them. Roses are also very nice to send to others!
Real roses can be very expensive and only live for a short time. Creating a card with roses is more managable and can last forever!

Then blend in the next lightest color. Continue to apply small amounts of ink with the markers until you have the desired look. Note: there is a Facebook Page by Alison Tilsner that you can join called Blends & Beyond. In Guide 1 there is a video she made that I followed to color the roses.

Stamp the smaller rose in Stazon Saddle Brown Ink onto the inside Very Vanilla cs and color.
The senntiment is stamped in Parakeet Party Ink.
Assemble the card. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals for the burlap strip on the card front.

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. I hope you like my Lovely & Sweet Emboss Resist Technique card!
On the second Wednesday of each month, the AWOW team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. This month’s challenge is a Technique Challenge.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of”
My Project for today
This card was made using the Emboss Resist Technique. I love this technique because it turns out differently each time. I also love using embossing powder. It is so magical to see the emboss powder change when you heat it up!
The Lovely & Sweet stamp set is a set of sketched botanical images. I really liked the image of the almond plant so I used it for my Technique Challenge.
Instructions
Embossing
Emboss the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. First use the Embossing Buddy to remove the static. Stamp the image in Versamark Ink.
Sprinkle the White Emboss Powder over the ink and shake off the excess.
Use a small paint brush to remove any embossing powder that is not supposed to be there.
Use the Heat Tool to heat the emboss powder until it magically changes. Be sure that you have heated up all the areas.
Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
The Emboss Resist Technique
With a Stampin’ Spritzer spray the paper that is embossed until damp. Use a paper towel to pat off the excess water.
Start with the lightest color. Using the Pool Party Ink Pad, apply ink to an E size Clear Block.
Next apply Coastal Cabana Ink on the edges alsousing the ink pad.
Finish by applying some Pretty Peacock Ink to parts of the edges. Use the corner of the ink pad to apply a little ink to the center.
Use the Stampin’ Spritzer to spray the block until the ink begins to run together.
Flip the block over and onto the embossed Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.
Apply a little pressure by placing a punch on top.
Leave alone for 10 to 15 minutes.
Assembling the Card
Trim the edges and mount on a 3 5/8″ x 4 5/8″ Coastal Cabana cardstock.
The card base is a 4 1/4 x 11″ Pretty Peacock cardstock with the front embossed using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the stamped card piece onto the front of the card base.
Here is how I did the inside. I did not use a sentiment because I wanted to keep this as an all occasion note card.
Add Bling! using the Iridescent Foil Gems.
Voila!

Hello! Welcome to Theresa’s TreasuresPaper Crafts. I am Theresa, an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in Arizona, USA. I am really excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight Gallery with my Trusty Tools Masculine Thank You card.

The theme for this Gallery is “Thank You”.
We often forget those simple words “Thank you”. However, it is so important to show appreciation to those 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 for yourself!
This Trusty Tools Masculine Thank You Card showcases the Trusty Tools Bundle available in the 2024 Stampin’ Up! January to April Mini Catalog and the FREE Sale-a-bration Trusty Toolbox 12″ x 12″ DSP.
Current Host Code: HUC4WD3S
Measurements
Basic Black cardstock (cs) card base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
I thought it was easier and quicker to use a cotton ball with 91% Rubbing Alcohol.
Either way you have Silver Foil to cut the tools from!
Preparing all the Card Pieces
There are a lot of pieces to this card! But, fear not! It is simple once you know what all the dies are for.
Here is everything you can cut from the Trusty Tools Dies. The Trusty Tools Masculine Thank You card uses the pieces for the hammer, tape measure, wrench, pliers and the screws & nuts (inside of card).
First, diecut all of the tools as follows.
Cut the handle for the hammer & the hand grip for the pliers from Poppy Parade cs. Then cut the open-end wrench and the jaws of the pliers from the Silver Foil. Also cut one set of the screws & nuts for the inside of the card.
Use Versamark Ink to stamp the hammer and the tape measure onto Silver Foil. Tip: Be sure to press straight down onto the foil so the stamp does not slide.
Sprinkle with the Black Emboss Powder. Heat gently with the Heat Tool until the Emboss Powder turns.
Use Memento Ink to stamp the tape of the tape measure onto the scrap of Crushed Curry cs.
Also use the Memento Ink to stamp the “Thank You” onto the strip of Gray Granite DSP.
Use Poppy Parade Ink to stamp the handle of the hammer onto Poppy Parade cs.
Put the tools together.
Assembling the Card
On the short side cut the Basic Black cs cardbase at 2″ down to the score mark. Then cut along the score mark from the top of the long side down to the 2″ cut. Save the piece you cut out for the card front.
Start by adhereing the Pecan Pie peg board pattern DSP to the Basic Black cs piece you just cut from the card base.
Use Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the tools to the peg board. Set aside.
Next adhere the Crushed Curry ruler DSP to the strip left as the card front.
Use the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals on the very bottom of the peg board then adhere it to the card front on the ruler.
Adhere the Poppy Parade/Gray Granite striped DSP to the inside of the card base.
Adhere the Gray Granite background DSP to the inside.
Use Gray Granite Ink to stamp some of the screws & nuts in the upper and lower corner of the Basic White cs for the inside.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere some screws & nuts over the stamped screws & nuts. Adhere to the Gray Granite background DSP.
Finish by using Stampin’ Dimensionals along the bottom of the sentiment and glue along the top to adhere it to the card front.
Voila!
