Simple any occasion no stamp card

December 19, 2018 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Hey Guys!

Today I thought I would share with you a card that is elegant and no stamping was used. What?! I know, what in the world am I doing NOT having stamps? It just happened that way and I didn’t really notice until I was done.

I used the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Paper. I really didn’t have any ideas on how to use it, but fell in love with it! Here is my card:

The Leaf pattern going down the side is normally white, but I sponged it Granny Apple Green so it would pop on the card and show up on the White frame.

Here are the specifics for this card:

Paper

Blackberry Bliss 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″

3 7/8″ x 2 7/8″

Whisper White 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, 3 7/8″ x 2 7/8″, 5 1/4″ x 4

Granny Apple Green 4 3/8″ x 3 3/8″

Copper Foil 3″ x 4″

Inks

Versamark

Granny Apple Green

Accessories

Delightfully Detailed cut outs

Leaves Trinkets

Wink of Stella

Layered Leaves Folder

sponge Brayer/Dimensionals/Glue dots

You can’t see it on the card, but I went over the Laser cut outs with Wink of Stella, it adds to the elegance of the card.

December 15, 2018 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys!

Do you want some peace? This card makes me peaceful just by looking at it! I hope you agree!

I used the Woodland Folder to get the background. This is about as ‘simple’ as I can get…….you would think that making cards with more details would be harder, but NO, I have problems making cards that have less stamps, less layers, less embellishments……ok I have problems with LESS! LOL I try really hard to make quick and simple one layer cards and I just can’t do it! Who’s with me!?

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:


Stamp Sets	Pg #
Sitting Pretty




Paper
Bermuda Bay 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Soft Sea Foam 4 1/4″ x 3 3/8″
Black 3 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
White 5 1/4″ x 4″, 3 7/8″ x 3″

Inks
Memento Black
Soft Sea Foam
Bermuda Bay
Versamark

Accessories
Chicken Wire Elements
Galvanized Buttons
Bermuda Bay Striped Ribbon
Stamparatus
Silver Embossing powder/embossing buddy/heat tool

The Galvanized Buttons are no longer available sad to say. So make sure if you want/need the chicken wire, get your order in now!!

If you are living in the US and are in need of a SU! Demo, look no further! I would love to be yours! Below are all the items used for this card, if you click on any of them you will be taken to my OnLine Store!

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!

Sympathy card using Bokeh stamp

October 26, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I love the Bokeh stamp from Stampin’ Up! When I stamp with it, just looking at it makes me smile. It is very subtle and makes me relax for some reason. For this card I inked the image using So Saffron on one side and Soft Sea Foam on the other, then I huffed on it and stamped it in the middle of a piece of Very Vanilla. I then stamped ‘With Sympathy’ from Flourishing Phrases in Black in the middle.

I will be teaching this in a class at our Local Senior Center in Kernersville on Wednesday. The Gold Foil paper surrounding the Very Vanilla sets off not only the stamp but the black background.

Hope you like this card!! All the supplies used for this card are listed below, click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store! I would love if you would choose me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator if you live in the US!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!!

Below are pictures of the supplies used for this card, click on any picture and you will be taken to my OnLine Store! I would love to be your Demonstrator if you live in the US.

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.
