Celebrate Sunflowers & Watercolor Pencils

June 8, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

So, I was on Facebook the other day and this card from Amanda Charlesworth made me put down everything I was doing and make it! I had to make this card! I LOVE when that happens.

Using Watercolor Pencils, makes this image pop!

Not only was I inspired by Amanda, but I made the card exactly like she did because I wanted to see if I could color it as well as she did. I think it came out really well! What do you think?

Don’t you love it when you see something that stops you in your tracks and you want to try your hand at it? That’s what happened with this card.

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
Celebrate Sunflowers

Inks:
Crushed Curry
Old Olive
StazOn Saddle Brown
Memento Black

Cardstock:
Whisper White Thick 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

All these tutorials for purchase of $35!

This stamp set was the first one I HAD to have! So pretty!! I have offered a class using Celebrate Sunflowers where I made 5 cards and I loved everyone of them! You can see that post here. Doesn’t everyone love a Sunflower? We always had some growing, but it was very hard to keep the squirrels from jumping on them and knocking them over.

Thank you for stopping by! Please leave a comment to let me know that you are liking what I post, it also makes me happy!

Masculine card By the Dock

February 14, 2020 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Hey Guys,

Here’s a Masculine card using the Stampin’ Up! stamp set By the Dock for you! If you missed my last one, check it out here.

The last masculine card had a LOT more sponging and this one has a little sponging and I think it’s much simpler! They are both great cards but this one makes me happier…..not sure why, maybe you can tell me? Here is my card for today:

This is a CASE (Copy And Share Everywhere) from L’atelier De Mag, here is her card so you can see how I changed little things to make it mine:

My shore is more pronounced, but you can definitely see that I got my idea from here! Thank you L’atelier for your inspiration, I love it! The cardstock was changed up too, I LOVE using Early Espresso cardstock as a Base for my handmade cards.

For my inside I wanted to make it just as serene as the front:

Isn’t this card one you would like to receive in the mail? I absolutely love, love, love it!

As usual, here are the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
By the Dock Bundle
A Great Man

Inks:
Early Espresso
Balmy Blue
Old Olive
Blends: Bronze, Combo Crumb Cake, Dk Granny Apple Green, Lt Smoky Slate, Dk Old Olive

Gang’s All Meer Double Slider Easel Card

February 12, 2020 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Hey Guys,

I’m sure that you have seen around the Double Slider Easel Cards, I saw them too, and tried my hand at it! Using The Gang’s All Meer Stamp set from Stampin’ Up! was a no brainer for me. They are so stinkin’ cute! Plus, the sentiment says “Happy Birthday to a STAND-UP friend”, thought it would be perfect to have a stand up card! LOL

Also I used the SU! set Mountain Air, because I thought they would make a great backdrop for those adorable MeerKats! The Belly band is stamped with the cactus and colored with Blends. I tried so hard to find a fitting Designer Series Paper (DSP) that would fit with these cuties, but alas I couldn’t! So, what is a crafter to do? Make their own DSP! 🙂

Here is my card, you’ll see a few pics since I want to show you all the angles:

This can open fuller, the sentiment is on the pull out. Can you see that this is open on it’s own?

Cute right? I like it, depending on what everyone says at my classes is whether or not we make this in a class. It’s a little over the top, meaning it takes some time to get all the pieces together and put in the right place. BUT, it was super fun once I got the gist of it! Thanks go to Frenchie for her video! I may make a video if you would like to see it, just let me know!

As usual, here are the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
The Gang’s All Meer
Mountain Air

Inks:
Smoky Slate (mountains)
Old Olive (trees and cactus/lizard)
Early Espresso (meerkats)
Soft Suede (behind Meerkats and cactus on belly band)
Balmy Blue (sky)
Blends: Crumb Cake combo, Old Olive light, Mango Melody combo

Paper:
Whisper White thick 4 1/4″ x 11″
Whisper White 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, 3″ x 4″, 1 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ for banner & for Extra banner if you make a full card: 1″ x 9 1/2″
[2 3/4″ x 1″ (scored @ 1/2″ each end), 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ scored @ 1/2″, 1 1/2″ x 1/2″ scored @ 1/2″ & 1″…..for mechanisms]
Balmy Blue 4″ x 5 1/4″

Misc:
1″ circle punch
sponges
Simply scored

So, what do you think? Is this something you want to make for yourself!? I hope you give it a try!

Below you will see in picture form all the supplies needed for this card. Just click on any of them and you will be taken to my Online Store! Anytime you purchase from me, you will receive from me a file FULL of tutorials for you to use! There are usually 40 or more, but I like to promise 35…….don’t want to disappoint anyone!

Brand NEW Stamp set Sailing Home

June 10, 2019 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys!,

I LOVE when the new CAtalog comes out by Stampin’ Up!! I was drawn to the set Sailing Home as soon as I saw it! If I had my way, I would go visit every Lighthouse! Since I can’t do that I will stick to making cards using them!

Here is a card I did NOT CASE, I came up with it! Hope you like it! Here it is:

I did a video showing how I made this card, you can find it here. I made my own cloud template and am offering it to those who order from me! This uses a LOT of new goodies! Sailing Home comes in a Bundle (which if you buy you will get 10% off!!). The rope knot is a die, the die the Thanks is stamped on is included, plus the sailboat is cut out with a die. There IS a die for the Lighthouse but I stamped and masked it. Go check out the video to see how I got the texture on the sand.

Here are the specifics for this card:

PROJECT 1: Lighthouse
Stamp Sets	Pg #
Sailing home Bundle




Paper
Seaside Spray 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Pretty Peacock 5 1/4″ x 4″
White 5″ x 3 3/4″, scrap for sailboat and sentiment


Inks
Crumb Cake
Soft Suede
Pretty Peacock
Balmy Blue
Memento
Accessories
Big Shot
Wink of Stella
Dimensionals
window sheets for clouds

I hope you like my card! I always get so excited when I make something without CASE’ing it. I know the reason I don’t do it more often is that I am swamped with classes and don’t have the time. The nice thing is that YOU don’t have to come up with anything either. There are so many ways to get ideas that we don’t NEED to try and do it alone.

Below are the supplies used for this card in picture form, click on any of them to be taken to my OnLine Store! If you purchase from me OnLine, you can get the cloud template that I used for this card for a thank you! Or you can pick a card you like, I will add a little something from my favorites to send you also! It’s like a Grab Bag!! 🙂

Thank you for stopping by!

Hey Guys!,

The card I am sharing with you today is another CASE’d card from Pinterest by Karen Farquhar. Here is her card:

I made my inside a bit different, and didn’t add the coral die cut to the front. When doing a class, I need to cut down on what I use since it will make the class too long otherwise.

Rooted in Nature beach scene

June 5, 2019 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I love my Job! I get to make beautiful handmade cards AND show others how to do it! After my classes everyone is so happy with what they have made!

I got this idea from Cindy Elam, I found it on Pinterest and changed up a little, here is her card:

I LOVE layers, I wanted to add to this beautiful card. Here is what I came up with:

Here are the specifics for this card:

PROJECT 3: Watercolor trees
Stamp Sets	Pg #
Rooted in Nature
Waterfront



Paper
Soft Suede 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Early Espresso 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
Watercolor paper 3″ x 4″
Very Vanilla 5 1/4″ x 4″, 2″ x 4 3/4″

Inks

Soft Suede

I spritzed the stamp after inking it then stamped it on Watercolor paper. It really has a great effect. I love how the trees look different each and every time! I also love to use the Aqua Painter to make a background. I taped off a straight line then using the Aqua Painter to make the water.

Below are all the supplies used to make this card. Click on any picture and you will be taken to my OnLine Store. I would love if you would choose me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator!

Beautiful You is Flying High

June 3, 2019 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys,

Today I am sharing with you a card I found on Pinterest and I CASE’d it. I can’t find it to show you, if you have seen it and know where I got this idea I would love if you would let me know.

Here is my card:

I masked the Lady after stamping her, then sponged the sky and stamped the trees. I then colored her, this makes it look like she is in front of the trees. The balloons were punched out with the balloon punch using Vellum which I then sponged with the color I wanted. I put the white line in the balloon with the Chalk Marker, I placed a glue dot behind this chalk line to attach. You can’t see it! Of course I put another glue dot behind the black line for the ‘string’. It’s a challenge to find spots to put your adhesive with Vellum because you don’t want it to be seen.

This was a really fun card, and my class loved it!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamp Sets

Beautiful You

Sheltering Tree

Colorful Seasons

Paper

Highland Heather 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″

Whisper White 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2)

Vellum

Inks

Highland heather

Memento

Balmy Blue

Blends: Balmy Blue, Ivory

Black marker

Accessories

Chalk marker

Balloon Bouquet punch

Below are pictures showing these supplies, click on any of them to be taken to my OnLine Store. If you don’t have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would love if you would choose me to help you with your creative needs!

I send those who order OnLine a small gift to say thank you. If you’ve been following my blog you know that I offer a LOT of different goodies!

Puzzle Card

May 27, 2019 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I was on the fence a long time before I decided to get the Love You To Pieces stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I really love it, the sentiments are too cute!

Here is my card:

I used Designer Series paper for the main picture, you can’t beat the Petal Promenade Paper!

Here are the specifics for this card:

PROJECT 1: Puzzle
Stamp Sets	Pg #
Love you to pieces Bundle
Well Said



Paper
Rich Razzleberry 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3 1/2″ sq, 3 5/8″ sq
White 3 1/2″ sq, scraps 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Petal Promenade 3 1/2″ sq
Flirty Flamingo 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2)

Inks
Rich Razzleberry




Accessories
Big Shot, Clear EP, Heat Tool
Tear n Tape
Polka Dot Tulle ribbon
Rich Razzleberry Velvet ribbon
Tombo Multi Purpose glue
Dimensionals

I recommend putting the DSP onto a piece that’s the same size of thick Whisper White. This helps it not be so fragile when you run it through the Big Shot with the Puzzle Die. Then turn it over, put Tear N Tape on the back to help hold it together, but skip the one piece you want to be missing.

Below are the supplies that I used to make this card, click on any picture and you will be taken to my OnLine Store! I would LOVE to be your SU! Demo if you live in the U.S.! For every OnLine order I send you a small gift as a token of my appreciation! You can pick this card if you would like it! If I still have it in my possession I will send it to you! Just let me know which card you want.
