Chicken Wire – Retiring soon, don’t wait!

December 12, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

Today’s card was a really fun one to make. The sad news is that the Chicken Wire (which I LOVE) is retiring! Say it ain’t so!

I decided to play with it before it was gone….. Here is the card I made for you today!:

I know that this picture looks like I used Tempting Turquoise, but the colors are all wrong, this was made using Bermuda Bay. Bermuda Bay is one of my very favorite colors! Not sure why my camera decided not to show the true color.

I used the Stamp set from SU! called Sitting Pretty. This stamp set is so much fun to stamp with, all the stamps work together so you don’t ‘color’ anything, you stamp it. Using the Stamparatus makes it even better!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Paper
Bermuda Bay 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Soft Sea Foam 4 1/4″ x 3 3/8″

Sneak Peek!! Amazing Life

December 10, 2018 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Hey Guys!

Sorry it’s been a couple weeks, ok maybe longer…… I went to Orlando to attend the Stampin’ Up! ON Stage get together that SU! Demo’s attend. I had such a great time! It was great rooming with my ‘SU! Besties’ (my girl friends and I only meet up at SU! functions) and learning/seeing all the new things coming out in January!! I then spent a week with my Husband in Orlando for our 30th Anniversary! The bummer is that I got sick the day after he got there. 🙁 I am STILL sick, and it’s been a MONTH! Hence the reason why I haven’t been posting!

The card I am sharing with you today is from a stamp (Amazing Life) that we got for FREE while at OnStage! I came up with this all on my own!! I LOVE making my own designs, but time allowances don’t always make it to where I can do it.

I used this stamp from the set:

Doesn’t look like much right?

Well, I stamped it along the bottom with the two swirls going down, in Soft Suede ink. Repeated it along the bottom, lining up the swirls so they touched, then flipped the stamp over and lined up the two lines that are in the middle of the stamp. I repeated this on top of the ones I stamped along the bottom and then flipped the stamp so the swirls were on the bottom again, and started all over to make a pattern!

After making the pattern, I stamped the 3 dot stamp in Petal Pink between the stamped pattern. Don’t you LOVE how it came out!? I was so tickled to see the beautiful pattern that this stamp made!! If you watch the video I made you can see how It was done, if this doesn’t make sense. I used other stamps for other designs, so be sure and check it out!

Here are the particulars for this card:

Paper

Petal Pink 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3/4″ x 3 7/8″, scrap

Gold Foil 4″ x 5 1/4″ (x2), scrap

Vanilla 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ (x2)

Inks

Soft Suede

Petal Pink

Versamark

Blend: Soft Suede dk, Petal Pink light

Accessories

Big Shot

Layering Ovals

Stitched Shapes

3/8″ Gold edged ribbon

Rhinestones

Gold EP/ embossing buddy/heat tool

If you live in the US and are in need of a Demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! I would love to be yours! If you are looking into joining SU!, join my team! We have a lot of fun and I would love to have you be part of my SU! family!

I hope you enjoyed this post, please leave me a comment below and let me know what you thought!

Christmas Card #15 Black and White Farmhouse Christmas

October 19, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I love when I design a card and it turns out great! I get so worried when I am designing on my own, I ‘think’ it turns out good, but have to ask everyone I know what they think, just to be sure!

Here is the card:

I love how this looks like a photo with a tree on the side. I used the Colorful Seasons Die to get the scalloped edge, I cut both the white and the Silver Glimmer to go behind it. In person, this is really pretty and shiny! Basic Gray is on the inside to offset the Silver, it is a great look! I love how stamping the house and tree in the ‘picture’ is an easy way to use this stamp set, and just cut out the tree and your card is just about ready!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Supplies:

Stamp set: Farmhouse Christmas, Star of Light, Winter Woods
Cardstock: Thick Whisper White 4” x 11”, Whisper White 3 ½” x 3 ¾”, 3” x 3 ½”, 3 ¼” x 3” (for black and white house),
Silver Glimmer 3 3/8” x 3 3/16”, 4” x1 ½”, Basic Gray 4” x 5 3/8”
Inks: Basic Gray, Shaded Spruce, Memento Black
Misc: Big Shot, Seasonal Layers thinlits, Dimensionals, Metallic Pearls, sponges, Wink of Stella

This is one of my favorites that I designed! I hope you like it too!!

Christmas Card #15 Farmhouse Christmas

October 17, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

This card was made after looking at two different cards using this set on Pinterest by two different people. I loved the idea of having snow in the backyard and the truck in the front, plus using the die as a mailbox. I added the ‘door’ on the mailbox, which made me so tickled with myself! LOL

I uses a LOT of blends, which are listed below. If you would like the dimensions and particulars for this card here they are:

Supplies
Stamp sets: Farmhouse Christmas Bundle, Merry Christmas to all
Cardstock: Poppy Parade 5 ½” x 8 ½”, scraps for bows, Basic Black 5 3/8” x 4 1/8”, Whisper White 5 ¼” x 4 (x2),
5 ¼” x 2 ¾” (trimmed for snow), 1 ¾” x 4 ½”, 5 ¼” x 4 for stamping house, tree, truck, Wood Textures DSP 3” x 1 ½”
Inks: Memento Black, Versamark, Balmy Blue, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Blends: Poppy Parade combo, Light Mango Melody, Old Olive combo, Soft Suede combo, Black Lt, Smoky Slate combo
Misc: White EP, Embossing Buddy, Dimensionals, Foam Adhesive strips, Fine tip Glue pen, Big Shot, Wink of Stella

This card is layered, the snow in the back only go on the bottom half of card, and if you look the fence is popped away from the base of the card.

I hope you like this card as much as I do! We made this in my Christmas card class at the beginning of October! Everyone loved making it, and I look forward to my other classes.

If you click on any of the pictures below (supplies used for this card), you will be taken to my OnLine Store! I would love to be your Demonstrator if you live in the US!

Christmas Card #13 Still Night

October 10, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

The owl in Still Night is one of my favorites. I love the dies in the bundle because not only does it cut out the owl & branch but it also cuts out pine boughs to make the branch look great! The set has 4 dies to cut out the boughs so you don’t spend all your time cutting one at a time!

I changed up very little from this idea off Pinterest from Nicole

The specifics for my card:

Supplies

Stamp sets: Still Night Bundle, Merry Christmas to All
Cardstock: Garden Green 8 ½” x 5 ½”, scrap, Silver Glimmer 5 ¼” x 4”, Twinkle Twinkle DSP 5” x 3 ¾”, white 5 ¼” x 4”, 2 ¾” sq, 1 ¼” x 3” (sentiment), 1 ¾” x 2 ½” (owl) Early Espresso 3 ½”sq
Inks: Night of Navy, Gray Granite
Misc: Big Shot, Clear EP, Embossing buddy, heat tool, dimensionals, 2” circle punch, glue dots, fine tip glue pen
