Hey Guys!,

Today it’s time for card #2 out of 6. By this time of year I am excited to do Christmas cards, but by Christmas I am ready to put it aside until July of next year.

Here is a card using the stamp set Winter Woods and Timeless Tidings from Stampin’ Up!

I saw this on Pinterest, changed up the background by stamping the Birch trees in Versamark first. But the idea came from Linda Vich. Thank you Linda!

A NON Christmas Card using Farmhouse Christmas

September 3, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I am so excited that as a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, that I get to purchase NEW items a month before they are available to the public! I wanted to use them right away BUT didn’t necessarily want to do Christmas. So, my dilemma……….how do I use these obvious Christmas sets and NOT have it be Christmas.

I got out the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set, decided to use the tree AND the incredible fence!! Did you see the fence!!?? I stamped the tree on Soft Suede using Early Espresso ink. This stamp set better stick around because I can use that fence for a lot of things! Follow this link to see my video.

Isn’t it the cutest!!?? Not sure if you can see the Glitter snow in front of the fence, but in person it is very shiny and sparkly! The tree has snow in all its crannies. I used the Fine-Tip Glue pen to go over the white (used the chalk marker) and then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds over the wet glue. I forgot how much I LOVE Dazzling Diamonds! I will be getting that out a lot more.

I stamped the ‘Love You’ from the Enjoy Life stamp set using Versamark and white embossing powder.

I layered these onto a piece of Early Espresso, but before I layered these onto white I wrapped some Burlap Ribbon around and adhered a True Gentleman button in the middle. If you look closely you can see a Rhinestone that I colored with the Bronze Blend to go into the middle of the button (I HATE threading linen thread through those tiny holes!). The final layer is Soft Suede to tie in all the colors.

I’m planning on doing this card in a class this month. Hope they like it as much as I do!

Rooted in Nature Masculine card

August 29, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE checkered paper! Well, the great news is that Stampin’ Up! has come out with an awesome stamp that lets you have a checkered pattern on any cardstock in any color!

I used Soft Suede cardstock and stamped the Buffalo Check in Black. It came out so nice!! I stamped the Big Oak tree from Rooted in Nature and die cut it (thank God, no more fussy cutting!), put it on a square piece of Black and it really popped. Once I put it on the Checkered pattern I was in love! I used the Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the NEW 2018 Holiday Catalog. It was the perfect touch! Instead of doing what I normally do, I placed the ribbon over the square, because it looked great with the tree ‘sitting’ on it! I hope you like it!

I’m teaching a class on the 10th at our local Senior Center, this will be one of the cards we will be making!

I have so much fun rubber stamping. When I was a young adult my sister started painting on porcelain making dolls and pottery. I was so impressed with her artistic ability. I thought well God gave her a gift, I am NOT artistic! Then I started stamping, at first I copied everything, then slowly started changing things up. I am so happy to tell you, I AM artistic! WOOHOO! I joined Stampin’ Up! over 15 years ago, and can’t see my life NOT doing this. If you would like to join my team, I would love to help you be artistic too!

Still Night NEW Stamp set in Holiday Catalog

August 24, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you an easy card that you can make if you are in a hurry. This can be for a man or woman! Those type of cards are hard to come by! I love the new Owl in the stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Still Night. The branch can be used different ways and the owl can look different depending on how you color it.

I stamped the Buffalo Check stamp (also from SU!) onto Crumb cake using Early Espresso ink. Sponged the edges to make it look even more ‘old’. I stamped the owl on a scrap of Vanilla and colored it using the Soft Suede/Crumb Cake Blends. This stamp is EASY to color! I used the Die that matches the owl, put Dimensionals on the back and he is ready to put on my card! I die cut the branch from Soft Suede cardstock laid it over a Very Vanilla oval die cut with Stitched Framelits. I sponged the edges of the oval with Soft Suede and used the Early Espresso marker to add the stitched look.

I hope you like my easy card! I would love to hear what you think.

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 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:
