It’s a Sloth!!

August 12, 2018 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys,

My family has a very funny story about Sloths. Since this time I have always had a special place in my heart for Sloths. If you want to hear the story, just send me a msg and I will tell you. I don’t want to bore everyone! HA!

I was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Melissa Davies, you can see the card here. I changed up SOME of the card, but the general idea was hers! Thanks Melissa!

As soon as I saw the Designer Paper Animal Expedition I HAD to get it only because of this stinkin’ cute Sloth! I wish it was a stamp, but he’s pretty easy to cut out, so I’ll take what I can get!

I used the Leaf ribbon because not only does it look awesome, but it’s so easy to adhere to the back!!

The supplies for this card are listed below, click on any picture to be sent to my OnLine Store!

Thanks for stopping by!! I appreciate you supporting me!

Painted Glass with Rose Glimmer Paper

August 10, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys,

This card is the Epitome of a Girly Card!! I used the Petal Promenade Designer Paper, with the die from the Painted Glass bundle. The butterfly is from the same stamp set! I used a Fresh Fig ink pad with an aqua painter and the Petal Pink for the middle to color the butterfy. Then I covered the whole thing with Wink of Stella! This card is so much fun!

The base is Fresh Fig, next layer is Petal Pink, then black and finally the Designer Paper. The banner is Petal pink edged with the Rose Glimmer! HAD to add the sparkle!!

This is a very simple card, just pop out the die, stamp the sentiment and the butterfly. Color the butterfly and layer all the cardstock and you are done! BUT, it is so pretty!! You would think it took much longer.

I was inspired by Rene Daley, you can see her card here.

Painted Glass Clean and Simple card

August 9, 2018 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Hey Guys,

Today I am sharing with you a Clean and Simple (CAS) card. I don’t do these very often, but I always ask myself why I don’t when I make things this pretty!

I used the Stained glass Bundle, which is a definite need if you haven’t bought it already! The center of the image is punched out with the 2″ circle punch! LOVE when I can use a punch!

Here is the card:

There is a Rhinestone in the center of the medallion that I colored with a Bermuda Bay Blend. The black outside is from the die, cut twice. It’s a half circle, but I put them together and hid the seam with the Banner in Petal Pink. Then the Black Cording. I also have more Rhinestones colored the same way around the card. Polka Dot Embossing folder was used also.

Hope you like this as much as I do!! I’ll be posting again soon!

Thank you for your support!

Christmas in July Final Card #6

August 8, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey guys,

I’ve been sharing with you all the Christmas cards I did for my Christmas in July class……hope you have liked them so far!

Today is the Bonus Card where my guests only made 1 of this one. The reason is because I would have had to buy at LEAST 4 – 5 packages just for this one Designer paper since I had 10 people come and if they each did 3, well you do the math!

This was one of my favorites that we made. I love plaid and the green with the blue is so pretty! Plus the trees stamped on the front really remind me of picking out Christmas trees! Does it you?

Here is the front of the card:

And the inside:

Isn’t this a pretty card!?

I added Wink of Stella under the trees on the front and under the one on the inside to give it the ‘snowy’ feeling. One of the trees is popped up on the front to add dimension.

The supplies are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store! This is the end of my Christmas cards, be sure to come back to see what I make next time!

Thank you for supporting me!

August Class Stained Glass Vellum

August 7, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys,

I’m super excited to share this card with you! I absolutely LOVE to do this technique with Vellum. I turn the vellum over and using an Impressor and a soft pad I push into the Vellum softly at first and then add more pressure as the paper fibers break down. You don’t want to push too hard or you will go through the paper, but the more you can press the puffier it will get in the front! This is what makes the vellum white!

Here is a picture:

All the white you see in the lily is the Vellum where it is puffy! In person this card is stunning! You just want to feel it! I have a video doing this technique if you want to watch it on YouTube!

I colored it using Blends: Mint Macaron, Old Olive, Calypso Coral. The ribbon is two colors twisted together, and the sentiment is from Graceful Glass stamped on Vellum and then attached to Mint Macaron cardstock. The one layer is Calypso Coral run through the Brand New Folder Subtle. It really gives you a nice texture!

For the background panel, I used the Embossing Mats and the die from this set and just got the impression of the die. That is so much fun to do!! When you watch the video all the dimensions will be included. I saw the background for this card on Pinterest, but can’t remember where! If you know, please let me know so I can give credit!

Christmas in July Card # 4

August 2, 2018 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys,

I’ve been showing you the 6 Christmas Cards that I have done for my Christmas in July stamp class. We are now on card #4! If you missed any of the ones before, click on my header and you can find them that way.

The card today is using Sheltering Tree from Stampin’ Up!

Here is the front of the card:

We Stamped the tree in Versamark and then embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder. It’s quite beautiful in person! The bow is from the Stamp set Beautiful Bouquet from SU! as well.

I got this idea on Pinterest by Bibi Cameron, I changed up a little by using a different sentiment and bow, but the idea was hers! Thank you Bibi!

Here is the inside:

VERY easy yet extremely beautiful and elegant! Everyone in class loved this!

Christmas in July Card # 3

July 30, 2018 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys,

My class went really well for my Christmas in July! We made 5 designs where we made 3 of each design, and then made one of another, so my guests got to make 16 Christmas cards! We’ll be having 2 – 3 more of these classes but we will use different stamp sets! I love these classes and it also gets all my cards ready for Christmas! I don’t have to worry if I already sent a certain card to a family member/loved one because I ALWAYS make new Cards!

Here is the front of this one:

and the inside:

This was a fun one to make! The white snowflakes are stamped onto the Night of Navy using Versamark and white embossing powder. What a great way to make your own Designer Paper!

I colored my Rhinetones with my Night of Navy dark Blend! I also added Wink of Stella underneath the trees.

Hope you like it!

The supplies are listed below, click on any of the pictures and you will be taken to my OnLine Store!

Christmas in July Card #2

July 27, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys,

I had a class where we made 6 Christmas Cards (each person walked away with 16 cards, we made 5 designs x 3, and then one of a special card).

This card uses Star of Light from Stampin’ Up! This card is a fast yet very cool card!! I CASE’d (Copy And Share Everything) this card from one I saw on Pinterest. I added a gold sequin to the center, and used Poppy Parade as the ink. But otherwise it is exactly as the one I found! Thank you to the person who made it!

Here is the card:
