It’s Christmas Card Time! Card #1

September 7, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I’ve been getting ready for my Christmas card class that’s next month! I plan on doing 3 Classes with 6 cards each class. That is A LOT of planning! Each person will make 3 of each of the 5 cards and 1 special card! That’s 16 cards that everyone makes at each class!

The New Holiday Catalog is here from Stampin’ Up! and I’ve been having fun using all my new goodies! Are you ready to start seeing the 1st of my 6 cards?!

Here is card #1:

This was VERY fun to make! I used the New stamp set His Light on top of the Bokeh Stamp set, but this isn’t the bokeh it is the star one in the same stamp set. I stamped the Bokeh ‘star’ stamp in Night of Navy, then stamped ‘Rejoice’ in Memento Black. This is SUCH a pretty card in person! Here is the inside:

I love that I can make a card that really tells the true meaning of Christmas!

Here are the Particulars:

Stamp sets: His Light, Bokeh Dots
Card stock: Night of Navy 5 ½” x 8 ½”,3 1/8” x 4 1/8”, Black 4 ¼” x 3 ¼”, White 5 ¼” x 4 (x2), 4” x 2 7/8”.
Ink: Night of Navy, Memento Black

Hey Guys,

Today I am sharing you another CASE’d card (Copy and share everything), I got this idea from Nicolle Belisimo on Pinterest. It’s almost exactly like hers! Thanks Nicolle!

My vase is a different color, and I embossed the words in Copper.

I love the copper ribbon!

I used the Stamparatus to line the stamps up, boy does that make it nice!!

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.

Thanks for stopping by!! I appreciate you!

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!

The supplies are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Stamping on Vellum is one of my favorite things! I used Real Red ink and the stamp set Stylish Christmas by Stampin’ Up!

Here is the card:

Isn’t this pretty? I used pearls in the center of the flowers. I have a YouTube video if you would like to see how it was done!

I TRY to do a video every week. I would love it if you would subscribe to my channel and support me!

Technique Tuesday Triple Flap Fold Christmas Card

September 26, 2017 Lisa Tedder 3 Comments

I love when a project comes together! Click here for a video to see the process It took to make this beauty! The great thing about the video is that I tell you the dimensions and supplies!

I was spending time on YouTube the other day and found this great idea from Dawn, which you can see here. I loved the idea, but didn’t have her Halloween stamps, even though I LOVE Halloween (need to have new ideas every year for scrapbooking!). So, I DID have the Christmas stamps from Stampin’ Up! called Father Christmas (I used EVERY stamp!, WooHoo) and Nature Sings. These Stamp sets are PERFECT for my idea!

When do you use every stamp from a stamp set on ONE project? I did for this one! Not sure WHY I am proud of this, but I am. 😉

Here is the project closed:

Partially open:

And now all the way open!:

Isn’t this pretty!? What I love is other than the front where I colored, there isn’t anything else that needs that much attention! I DID sponge all the Vanilla pieces but I pretty much sponge everything so this wasn’t a big deal to me.

When I showed this around, I got so many Ooooooh’s and Aaaaaaaah’s! LOVE when that happens! Now the question: Who do I send this to?

The next question is what will be my technique for NEXT Tuesday?! Any suggestions? I have a great idea, not sure if I will go with that idea or one YOU give me!

You can click on any of the supplies listed below to be taken to my OnLine Store!

I hope you like this technique, I would love to see a ‘story’ you would like to create using this Fancy Fold!

Until next time!

NEW Technique Tuesday Making a Scene using an Embossing Folder

September 5, 2017 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I love Tuesday’s! Techniques are my favorite thing about stamping. I get to use my Stamps in a totally different way!! The Technique I am using today had me thinking of what I could put BEHIND trees, but still show what I needed it to show.

Here is today’s card:

I made a YouTube video showing this stamping technique. I love Birch Trees, I also love the Birthday Delivery Stamp set by Stampin’ Up! I got super excited about being able to use BOTH! When you go watch the video it will show you exactly how easy this technique is to do!

Stamping directly onto an Embossing Folder isn’t something you think of normally. Tips: 1. Stamp on the side that has the negative (dipping down) the part you want as your focal in the folder this will be the part that is raised on your card. 2. Pick images to stamp on that you will see in the lines available that are the flat parts of the folder. 3. Use colors that will enhance what you are stamping. 4. Use a brayer to lay down a color that will be behind the images (sky), anything you stamp over the brayered color will be at the top of the cardstock. 5. Make sure that you don’t move the folder once you put all the stamping in (I did NOT follow this rule on my video, but I fixed my mistake!) 6. Remember that it’s ONLY PAPER, and play with it!

I won’t be able to show you here how to do this technique, it would be too confusing, so please go check out my video and see how fun and easy it is. You will notice that you will look at stamps in a totally new way!

As always, I will have the supplies listed below, just click on any image to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Technique Tuesday! Add a 3D element to any project!

August 29, 2017 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Today I am going to show you how to make a 3D element using Mod Podge! If you would like to see this in action, go to my YouTube video where I SHOW you how!

First, you will need to pick a shape you want to transform! I chose two, the Pansy Punch and the flower from Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I punched out 3-4 of each image with another one from DSP. I chose the Eastern Palace since it was so pretty.

Take your Silicone Craft Sheet, a foam brush, Mod Podge and your cut outs. Starting with the colored images, not your one cut from the DSP, spread a thin layer of ModPodge over entire surface with your Foam brush. Then lay another layer of the image on top of that and repeat. You will do this 3 – 4 times ending with the one you cut out of the DSP (do not put ModPodge on top). Then you can cut into all layers if you want to manipulate the paper more than the design allows. Keep working at it until you are happy with the shape. Once done, you will spread Fine Tip Glue over entire surface, set aside to dry.

When dry, put your two pieces together as shown:

This is already attached to my card, but this gives you a close-up of what it looks like when dry.

Here is a picture of the closed card:

In the video I show you how to apply the Flourish Thinlits and how to adhere it to the card!

This is a Fancy Fold card, here it is open:

If you wanted, you could attach the flower on front with a Pin, and then mail it to someone who loves to wear brooches, or use it for a headband! I have done in the past a 3d Rose, and that was gorgeous!

Please subscribe to my YouTube channel to be informed when a New Technique video is ready! Tuesday is the day I chose, since Technique Tuesday has a certain ring to it, don’t you think?

And don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so you won’t miss out on anything here.

TOMORROW I have the drawing for this card:

Today is your last chance to either leave me a message on here, or on my YouTube page, if you click on that link you will be taken to the video where I made this card. You will be AMAZED how much MORE prettier this card is in person!

I am off for now, until next time!! As always I will have the list of the supplies used (below) for the card today, just click on any of the pictures to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Pop of Paradise

August 16, 2017 Lisa Tedder 4 Comments

Today I am sharing with you a Clean and Simple card. I have so much trouble keeping things simple, I always want to JAZZ them up. But this one is jazzy without adding more. At least I think so! You’ll have to tell me!

I LOVE the copper embossing powder, and I added some Copper thread. The dots are done in the Copper Powder, it’s hard to see that in this picture. AND I have found that Banners for You works well with other stamp sets!! I used the Happy Birthday from Birthday Banners. Since it is Photopolymer you can bend the stamp to fit the banner!!

Below my name is a list of all the supplies to make this card, just click on any picture to be sent to my OnLine Store! If you buy from my store I will send you a handmade card!

Until next time!
