FINAL card for my Painted Poppies class!

January 23, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

The card I am going to show you today is the design of Susan Campfield! Usually, I try to change up the cards I am inspired by, but this one is perfect, so I left it as it was! Thank you Susan!

I did Lie about ONE thing, hers had a different sentiment, but this one worked from Forever Blossoms. But, it was a little white lie, so I’m sure you’ll forgive me. 🙂

This card is pretty straightforward, stamping and die cutting the DSP/swirly ……very fast and easy! I hardly ever do ‘simple’ cards, they are more of a challenge for me, go figure! Ha!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
Painted Poppies Bundle
Forever Blossoms

Inks:
Memento Black

Paper:
Black 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scrap for swirl
Poppy Parade 5 1/4″ x 4″
White scrap
Peaceful Poppies DSP scrap for center of swirl

Misc:
Dimensionals
Layering Circle Dies
Classic Label Punch
Peaceful Poppies sequins
MultiPurpose Liquid glue

As usual, the supplies will be listed below in picture form, click on any of them to be taken to my OnLine Store. If you purchase from me you will receive from me a handmade thank you card and 40+/- tutorials! Each month you can get brand new tutorials with any purchase! IF you are interested in my class where you can get the 3-5 cards for free, purchase the Painted Poppies stamp set (to get 3) or the Painted Poppies bundle (to get all five cards in a tutorial!). If you live near me in North Carolina, you are welcome to come to my classes! I have day and night time classes!

January 20, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I am in the process of showing all 5, later this week you will see the last one, so make sure and come back!

The inspiration for this card was Becca Santos, I changed up a lot so I’m not even sure you would recognize that I was inspired by her card, but I want to give credit where it’s due! Here is her card:

I just realized putting this on, that the other card is where I got the idea for one of my other cards! Sorry Becca that I didn’t give you credit for that one!

Here is my card for today:

I used the Crinkled Seam Binding for the bow, but I colored it first with a Poppy Parade Blend! Isn’t it pretty?! You can’t see it on this picture, but I used Wink of Stella on the flowers and WOW, that makes it really pop in person!

When I am looking at other’s blogs, I always want to know the measurements and everything that is included to make that card. So, in honor of me, here are the specifics to this card:

Stamps:
Painted Poppies
Peaceful Moments

Inks:
Memento Black
Blends: Poppy Parade Dark, Mossy Meadow combo, Crumb Cake light
Crumb Cake (for sponging)

Paper:
Basic Black 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″

Whisper White 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″

Third FREE card for buying the Painted Poppies stamp set!

January 16, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

Hopefully, you’ve been following along with my cards that I will do in a free class when you purchase the Painted Poppies Stamp set from Stampin’ Up! And, if you buy the bundle you can make FIVE cards! The last 2 posts I have been showing you the cards that we will be doing.

First off, can I say how much I LOVE this stamp set!? It is super pretty and the way SU! brought so many cool things that coordinate with it make it even that much better! Every time I get on Pinterest, I find something else that I want to do, or am inspired to make.

Secondly, I love that Stampin’ Up! is always encouraging us demonstrators to do well in our business. They gave us a challenge to sell a certain number of this set, and being that it is so cool, I doubt I will have any trouble! It was first on my list to buy and I’ve heard others say the same thing.

Enough Talk! Here is the 3rd card you can make with me:

Simple but very elegant, right? I love how the DSP brings out the color of the Poppy.

Here is the inside:

As always, here are the specifics for this card:

Stamp sets:
Painted Poppies Bundle
Peaceful Moments

Inks:
Memento Black
Gorgeous Grape
Highland Heather/Mossy Meadow Blends

Paper:
Gorgeous Grape 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 2 1/2″ x 3 5/8″
Basic Black 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2), scraps for 4 swirlies on sides (from Die)
Perennial Essence DSP 5″ x 3 3/4″
Shimmering White 3 3/8″ x 2 1/4″
Very Vanilla 5″ x 3 3/4″

Misc:
Noble Peacock Rhinestones
Dimensionals
Wink of Stella

As you can see, Elegance doesn’t have to be hard! I love the touches of the black swirls (Die) on the sides, really sets off the flower, don’t you think? Plus the Wink of Stella adds just that POP that this card needs!

Below you will see all the supplies in picture form. If you click on any of the pics you will be taken to my OnLine Store! IF you decide to purchase this set from me, you are invited to my class where you will make either 3 cards OR 5 if you purchase the bundle! Live too far away? No problem, I will send you a pdf of the instructions with pictures!

Also, you will receive from me 40 +/- tutorials that will give you so many ideas! This happens every month, so if you are consistent in purchasing from me, you will be overwhelmed with ideas!!

Thank you for stopping by!

More Free Cards if you purchase Painted Poppies

January 14, 2020 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys!

Here I am again! Are you ready to see a card I made using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set Painted Poppies? First, let me tell you that I have been challenged by SU! to sell a certain number of Painted Poppies. Second, I am really not thinking this is much of a Challenge since this set is STINKIN’ CUTE!

But, since this IS a challenge I thought I would add some incentives to purchase from me! So, I am offering 3 cards if you just buy the set AND 5 cards if you purchase the bundle. The class is FREE! You’ve already seen ONE of the cards, and I am here today to share with you a second card. Stay tuned throughout this week and next to see the others!

Here is my favorite that we are doing:

Isn’t this stunning?! It is a very simple card, but boy, does it pack a punch! I used one of the dies from the set, to make the swirly circle-ish image for the sentiment to sit on. Are you like me? Do you LOVE seeing things like this! I hope so, because my card for tomorrow has even more fabulousness! Is that a word, or did I just make it up!? Since the DSP has Granny Apple Green in it, this was perfect for my Granny Apple Green Ribbon. I also added the same color green for my Rhinestones, plus some Highland Heather Rhinestones. It’s like SU! made this paper just for the sparkly add ons!

Knowing that you like to have the specifics for the cards I post, here it is!

Stamps:
Painted Poppies
Honey Bee
So Sentimental (for inside)

Inks:
Memento Black
Granny Apple Green & Highland Heather Markers

Paper:
Granny Apple Green 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 1″ circle
Blackberry Bliss 5 1/4″ x 4″, 1/2″ x 3 3/4 (for inside)
Peaceful Poppies DSP 5″ x 3 3/4″, 1/4″ x 3 3/4″ (for inside)
Basic Black scrap for swirly cut out for sentiment (die), 3 3/4″ x 3/4″ (for under ribbon)
Whisper white 5″ x 3 /4″

Misc:
Granny Apple Green ribbon
Noble Peacock Rhinestones
Dimensionals

Here is a picture of the inside:

Since I love the sentiment so much, here is a close up of it!:

To do this, I inked up the stamp with Granny Apple Green. Then I dotted the last word with a Blackberry Bliss Marker, huffed on it, since it dries a little when coloring and stamped it. Didn’t it turn out so cute! I was so tickled that I made ‘confetti’ on my stamp! I’m such a goober! 🙂

The strip at the bottom is a piece of the DSP mounted on a black strip. Perfect touch if you ask me!

Hope you have enjoyed today’s post! If you are interested in getting this class in the mail, or in person let me know! I live in the US and if you are looking for a Demonstrator I would love to help you find your creativity!

Below you will see, in picture form all the supplies needed for this card. Click on any of them and you will be taken to my OnLine Store. Any purchase you make from me, you will receive 40 +/- tutorials! Each month I have new tutorials, so feel free in continuing to purchase from me, you will love the tutorials!

Parisian Framed Sampler Occasions 2020

January 6, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

Today, I am sharing with you a Sampler that I found from Joanne Mulligan…..changed it up a LITTLE, but still wanted to give her credit!

Here is her piece:

First, I changed the background to black, changed up some of the sentiments, did the flower in right corner and Eiffel Tower different, Then I changed the background layer to some of the pieces.

Secondly, for the Eiffel Tower and the right top corner flower I stamped them on White then colored them with a Smoky Slate Combo Blends. I also added a BUNCH of Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems that I have been hoarding (I’m not the only one that does that, am I?) plus some Champagne Rhinestones……can’t have too much bling, right? MOST of the bottom layer is Champagne Foil for all but the small Blue squares.

To make lining this up MUCH easier, I first put the pieces already done onto a piece of 11 1/2″ sq piece of black cardstock, each outside piece goes to the edge of the black. then this was put onto a piece of 12 x 12 black. It really takes away the guesswork and stress of getting them in the proper position. Stampin’ Up! has retired the Black 12 x 12, thankfully I have some left over.

Measurements for this are: ***
Top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right are 2 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
All square small pieces are 2 3/4″ sq
Middle piece is 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
*** this is for the Base pieces only, take off 1/8″ – 1/4″ for layers over the base.

I hope you like my take of Joanne’s great sampler! There will be a Special class either this month, or next month. The cost will be either $30.00 for my team members or $35.00 for those who aren’t. Of course everything will be pre-cut for you to complete this! To be expected, you will be doing your own stamping! What’s a Stampin’ Up! class without stamping?!

Below, you will find all the product that I used for this Sampler, click on any of the images to be taken to my OnLine store! If you shop with me, I will be sending you a file with over 30 tutorials for you to use!

Please come back again!

Mi Amour! Paris meets Poppies

January 3, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!
Today I am sharing with you another card from the Occasions Catalog by Stampin’ Up! I LOVE the stamp sets Painted Poppies and Parisian Beauty. So, putting them together is a No Brainer for me! I got the stem from the stamp set Daisy Lane because I wanted the flower to have one. Surprisingly, I got the DSP from the Sale-A-Bration catalog the Golden Honey Specialty DSP. It’s cool because the inside of the card shows the other side.

Don’t you love that you can see the Wink of Stella on the flower?!

Here is a pic of the inside:

I used the Honey Bee Stamp set to bring in the DSP that you can see on the inside (not shown here)

For both the inside and front I used a strip of Gold Foil to set the ‘line’ where the DSP starts. I love black and white cards with a punch of color, don’t you? Also, I added the Champagne Rhinestones to the front to give it some added sparkle. Gotta have sparkle!

Here is the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
Honey Bee, Painted Poppies, Daisy Lane

Inks:
Memento Black
Blends: Calypso Coral, Old Olive

Cardstock:
Basic Black 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, scrap for ‘Amour’
Whisper White 6 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ scored at 4″ on long side
Golden Honey DSP 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″
Gold Foil 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ (x2)

Misc:
Champagne Rhinestones
Parisian Dies
Wink of Stella
Paper snips for cutting out flower/stem
Dimensionals

I hope you like this card as much as I do! Usually, I don’t come up with my own designs, but since there aren’t many samples out there, I had to this time! Please let me know what you think!

If you are looking for a Demonstrator and live in the US, let me know what I can do to help you in your creative process! I can mail you out a catalog if you need one, and if you purchase from my Online Store I will send you a handmade card, a small thank you gift and 30 +/- tutorials that change every month!

Hope you come back to see me!

Sneak Peek: Parisian Beauty Bundle

December 31, 2019 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

It’s been a while, but I figured for my New Year’s Resolution I would TRY to post more! Here on my Blog, Pinterest and Instagram. Look at me! Here it is a DAY early! LOL Today I thought I would start by posting one of my FAVORITE stamp sets that Stampin’ Up! has brought to us in the NEW Occasions Catalog! The name of this set is Parisian Beauty which you probably already know since that is what I named this post.

And, don’t you love cards that you can interact with? This one, once it’s open can stay open and let the person you give it to enjoy it more. I used the Parisian Blossoms Specialty DSP for the front AND the inside. This Specialty paper has places that are embossed with Champagne, which makes this sooooo pretty to look at! When you add the Dies to the paper, you can’t make a mistake! If you look close, you can see that I used Champagne Rhinestones on the Tower, Champagne Foil behind the main images and it’s what I used for the Amour! I popped up the Amour so it would hold up the front of the card. Well, do you like it? Anything I should add or take away?

Here are the specifics to this card:

Stamps:
Parisian Beauty #151466 OR the Bundle #153778

Inks:
Cherry Cobbler

Cardstock:
Cherry Cobbler 4 1/4″ x 11 (scored @ 5 1/2″ & 8 1/4″, 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ (for back of front piece), 5 1/4″ x 4″ (under the front DSP), 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ ( for under inside DSP), scrap for piece cut out of Stitched Rectangle Die (3rd from smallest of longer rectangles), and scrap for Eiffel Tower.
Champagne Foil 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ for front piece, 5 1/4″ x 4″ for inside, scrap for Amour and Swirl cut out.
Parisian Blossom DSP 5 1/8″ x 3 /8″ (for front), 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ (for inside
Whisper White small scrap for front sentiment

Misc:
Champagne Rhinestones #151193
Dimensionals #104430
Holiday Rhinestones #150457

I would like to do a video for this card but what do you think? Too easy and doesn’t need one or you’d like to see it from start to finish!? I KNOW that there will be plenty more cards to come from this set, PLUS my hubby is taking me to Europe for my 60th birthday! That’s in a year and a half! This set will come in handy for scrapbooking my adventure!

Hope you enjoyed this post, please check out my youtube channel and subscribe so I will know if you want to see more from me!

Hope you had a Great Christmas and here’s to a Happy New Year!
