NC Demo Blog Hop – Progressing Christmas Page

November 27, 2016 Lisa Tedder 3 Comments

If you just came from Pam’s page, welcome to my page! If you started at mine, click on the names below to see what others have done for the Holidays! Enjoy!

Today I am showing you how I go about doing a Scrapbook Page by showing that you can make ANY size page depending what you like. I started off making a 6 X 6 page:

The red block is for putting your picture in. I LOVE handmade scrapbook pages! And the Stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Christmas Magic is one of my FAVES! It’s so pretty and versatile! I made tags too with the sets I used for this page, check it out at the end of this post!

For the next part of the page I made an 8 1/2″ x 11″ page and placed the 6 x 6 on that one.

The White under the Santa and next to the snowman is where You put the picture on this part! I used the Santa from the Stamp set Cookie Cutter Christmas. This was so much fun to do! I stamped it on Vellum using Black ink and embossed it with clear. I then turned it over and colored the back, making sure I shadowed it. I put it on my Stampin’ Pierce Mat and with my embossing tool from the Simply Scored Scoring Tool upside down (embossed side down) and rubbed the embossing tool over all the white pieces. This raises the vellum and makes it white. REALLY WHITE! It is so much fun to do this technique and looks great on sails and other stamped images that need to be white and fluffy.

This is what it looks like before you turn it over.

Once you turn it over you can really see the white is white! I did NOT use ANY ink on the white parts, that is all because the vellum changes to white when you press on it with the embossing tool.

Now, here is the finished page on 12 x 12 :

I die cut the ‘Merry’ from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits. I also stamped the bells from the Christmas Magic stamp set and embossed it with Silver Embossing Powder, then using my blender pen colored in Smoky Slate to ‘look like’ silver. But first I stamped the Swirl from Star of Light and ‘hung’ my bells from that.

If you notice under the snowman, I have three bells on white bakers twine, this is so they won’t fall off (my daughter is going to frame this with her Christmas pictures on the wall), and I wanted to make sure that no matter what they wouldn’t fall off. I made the white twine go through the paper and I tied a knot in the back.

This page, in person, is so pretty!! Have you ever made something and are impressed with how much better it came out than you thought it would when you started?!! That’s how I feel, I hope you like it too!!

Now, here are the tags that I made to go along with this gift:

I love the simple yet elegant feel of these! Which is perfect for something that you will want to make a lot of! I used the Scallop Tag Topper for all of these, the middle one is just a little bit shorter than the other two.

NC Demo Blog Hop – Stuck Santa

October 30, 2016 Lisa Tedder 4 Comments

You just came from Laurie Meier’s blog, she’s great isn’t she? I am Thankful for Melissa Kerman for giving me inspiration!

I got this idea from her at our NC Demo Quarterly (see below for details). We had a tag swap, which stupidly I didn’t join. :-/ Live and learn, right? Well, she made this awesome tag with Santa’s legs coming out of the chimney. Here is a picture of it:

I wanted to make a card from the tag, and this is what I came up with:

I used the Heart punch (which I didn’t know Melissa used, until I really looked at the boots, and was AMAZED!) and she free cut the pants, so I did that too. The Chimney I changed up some, I added some roof so I could put ‘snow’ on the edges. I used the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper and cut thin wavy strips to give the snow effect. I stamped the background with the Snowflake stamp from the Stampin’ Up! set called Snow Place. The Jolly is a framelit from Christmas Greetings. LOVE how I used a white gel pen to put ‘snow’ on the word, then sprinkled some Dazzling Diamonds on top. In person this card looks so sparkly and pretty!!

The ribbon is the Whisper White Mini PomPom Trim! Even though this is all Christmas I got everything out of the current SU! catalog!

This is a list of everything I used:

Stamp sets: Snow Place #139738

Inks:

Whisper White #101731

Paper:

Night of Navy 5″ X 3 3/4″
Real Red 5 1/4″ X 4″ and scraps
Whisper White 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″
Basic Gray 3 3/4″ X 5″ (I ran this through the Embossing Folder and got 2 chimneys out of one piece of paper, you have to go from each side seperately)
Basic Black Scraps

Accessories:

1 1/4″ circle punch
Whisper White Mini PomPom Trim
Dazzling Diamonds
Dazzling Diamond Glitter Paper
Heart Punch
Brick Wall Embossing folder
Christmas Greetings thinlits
Sponges
Big Shot
Precision Base Plate

NC Demos is a group in North Carolina that gets together all over the state and we have ‘meetings’. Really it’s a great get together where ideas are shared and we stamp ALL DAY!! We learn a lot from each other and go home energized to play/work!
It’s great to meet other stampers, especially close to home!
If you live in North Carolina you can be a member too, as long as you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator! If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask! We really are a GREAT group!!

Ultimate Pink Blog Hop

October 3, 2016 Lisa Tedder 3 Comments

Welcome to the first ever Ultimate Pink Blog Hop – a collection of ideas from Stampin’ UP! demonstrators all over the globe featuring shades of pink in honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I am participating in this Blog Hop because I have quite a few people in my life who has been touched with Breast Cancer.

My sister and my very good friend are the most recent to be hit by this disease. My hope is that we can bring more awareness and that more people will participate in helping this cause.

My design today is a handmade Christmas card, seems I have Christmas on my mind! The Stampin’ Up! set is called Embellished Ornaments, and I also used the Thinlits Delicate Ornaments. I’m having two separate classes making Christmas cards and they are so pretty!

I used for the colors Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Whisper White and for the ornament I used the Glimmer paper Blushing Bride! I wish this was a real ornament so I could hang it on my tree this year!

I am in the process of doing more on my blog, I’m changing the name to:

NC Demo Blog Hop – Tree Bark Technique

February 29, 2016 Lisa Tedder 8 Comments

It’s time for the NC Demo Blog Hop again! If you didn’t attend last month, you won’t want to miss this month!

I LOVE doing techniques! Today I have made two cards that use the Tree Bark technique!

I have made a Periscope, if you want to see how I made it, I think if you look me up on Twitter it will show you where to find it on Katch.me! But for those who don’t have Periscope I will try and explain it with words!

You start off with either Soft Suede CS (2nd card) or with Sahara Sand (1st card). You then stamp the Hardwood stamp using the color of your cardstock, I want it to be subtle so it looks more realistic. I then rub direct to paper the Chocolate Chip ink pad VERY softly, using only the corner of the pad and only in a few places, I want that also to be subtle.

Then you will tear towards you an uneven amount of strips, 1st card has 5 and my 2nd has 3. Make sure you tear TOWARDS yourself, so you have an uneven edge and it is able to be sponged and manipulated. Then you will sponge the rough edges with the Chocolate Chip ink and then go over it again, with the same ink/sponge and sponge up, so the edge curls up.

You will do this to all your pieces…….this will make the edges stand up from the card. Once you have that done, you will adhere your pieces so they match up with the edges standing up. You can see this on both of my cards.

Once it is all adhered, you will want to LIGHTLY go over the raised edges with Versamark, then Gold Embossing Powder. Heat it, and you will have this really pretty edge to each torn piece!

I used an In Color for the 1st card: Mint Macaron for the leaves and base, then embossed the flowers gold. The stamp set is: Number of Years.

The 2nd card uses Pool Party and the Stamp set: Pedal Pusher. BOTH cards utilizes the Gold Foil Sheets since I wanted to bring out the Gold EP.

I really loved making these cards, and I would love to see if you make any using this technique! Just share with me so everyone can see your pretty Tree Bark Cards!

PCCC #183

February 25, 2016 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

I decided that I am going to start doing more with this blog!! Hopefully you will be as excited as I am!
To start with I decided to do a Challenge that the Paper Craft Crew is doing and that is the Color Challenge!!
Here is the challenge I worked on today:

My card uses one of my favorites from the Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up!, it is called Picture Perfect. My Dad used to feed the Hummingbirds in our front yard, it was very full of plants that framed our front walk very nicely.

He would stand there for quite a while and when the Hummingbirds would come to drink from the feeder, he would put his finger under the feeder for the birds to rest on. It took a while for them to grow comfortable with him there, but he finally got them to land on his finger!! I would watch from the window and wish I was the one out there!

Ever since then I have had a LOVE for Humminbirds! So that leads me to this post, I wanted to use the stamp set Picture Perfect since it has them!

Here is my card:

The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss, the next layer is Smoky Slate with Marina Mist which I ran through the Big Shot using the embossing folder Zig Zag. I then brayered the Tea Lace Paper Doilies using Old Olive ink, I then put versamark over that and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I like how it’s shiny, don’t you?

I cut out a thinlit of Blackberry Bliss using the Deco Labels, colored a piece of Dazzling Diamond Glitter Paper using the Blackberry Bliss, then set it using clear embossing powder after running over it with my Versamark again.

Stamped the Hummingbird using Blackberry Bliss, Smoky Slate and Old Olive. put a Rhiinestone for his eye, and then for the coup de grace (sp?) I went over the entire image with the Wink of Stella!! It is so pretty and shiny in person! And the texture makes you want to fell it!

So, I am done with my first Challenge in a LONG time! How do you think I did? I’m excited for next time! I wonder how I’ll do in the Sketch Challenge!

Make sure you check back in to see how I did, and I would love some feedback on what you like or don’t like!

Thanks for stopping by!

Floating Re-Inkers NC Demo Blog Hop!

January 31, 2016 Lisa Tedder 9 Comments

Thank you for visiting me! I know you just came from Pam Staples blog, Isn’t it great!!

Each month NC Demos is going to be hosting a Blog Hop using current Stampin’ Up! product the last day of each month at 8:00 p.m.! So, get ready to see a lot of great cards/projects!

Before the end of the month I will be doing a live video on Periscope (making the card you’ll see here on our blog hop!) where you can ask me quesions AS I’m doing my card! You must download the app to be notified and you will have to follow me to see when I am on!

Periscope doesn’t keep the videos long, but I have it to where it automatically saves it for a few days on Katch.me

Mine is called Floating Re-Inkers, I stamped my image (Rose Wonder, Big Rose with leaves) on Shimmer White Paper using Versamark and then white Embossing Powder.

I then spritzed my Shimmer White cardstock (this holds up better with the water than our white cardstock. Plus it gives a Great Sparkly look!! After spritzing with water, I dropped my colors of re-inkers that I wanted to use: Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, for the flower, and Mint Macaron and Cucumber Crush for the leaves.

I cut out the flower, and then the leaves seperate, so I could place the leaves closer into the flower, since I wanted my flower to be in the middle of my card!

I popped up the flower after putting some of that GORGEOUS Gold thread behind it (you should be able to see it peaking behind. I also wrapped the Gold Thread around the two side pieces (Brights DSP), as I said……I LOVE that Gold Thread!!)

Since I used the Brights Collection for the Flower, I used the sequins to highlight the gold threading on the side! I put a teeny tiny pearl in each sequin, and stamped the saying from Something To Say stamp set!

Hope you like it!!

Come back to our Blog Hop next month! Now you will go to Francis Wagner blog, Enjoy!!

Puffy Vellum

January 25, 2016 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

If you happened to see my Periscope video on this technique, I apologize that i didn’t get my orientation right, but it was my first one, so I’m happy I got it done, didn’t stutter and it looked good, even though you’ll get a crick in your neck watching it!

I promise next time I will get it right!! Here is the card I was working on. The white flower is Vellum and I used my score tool from my stampin’ score board. It not only makes the vellum stick out on the other side, but it makes it white!!

You can’t see the clear Wink of Stella on it, it’s so pretty!! I also added the gold thread behind the flower and behind the sentiment that I cut out with my Big Shot and Lots of Labels thinlits!

Here is the side so you can see the flower is puffy:

It’s hard to see,but WOW when you feel it, there is so much texture and interest on your card!

Keep an eye on my next Periscope, and if you leave a comment I will put you in a drawing for a free SAB stamp set, the drawing will be at the end of February, so you’ll have plenty of times to leave comments!!

I love stamping, it gives me so much pleasure.

Working for a company like Stampin’ Up! lets me get PAID for doing something I love to do!

There is a sale right now during Sale-a-Bration, if you decide to join the SU! team and mine (LETs Stamp!) you get for your $99……..$150 worth of product PLUS the shipping is free!! March is the last month of SAB and your chance to get sooooooo many goodies for so little!

I would love to have you join my team and me when we share fabulous creations and have meetings! I try to skype with the down line that is not living close enough.

I’m not very savvy with all the technical things, but I usually just have to ask one of my kids!! 🙂

Go take a look at my Periscope, look under Puffy Vellum or my name Lisa Tedder, or Lisa E Tedder, it won’t be there but 24 – 48 hours!!

Thanks for visiting, hope to see you next time!

Advent Calendar

November 10, 2015 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I made this Advent Calendar to give as Christmas Presents this year! Every year I come up with something that people can hang onto for Generations! To give you an idea of the size it is 9 1/2″ wide, and 17″ tall.

This was a really fun one to make, and surprisingly very easy, 4 +/- hours to make (which is why you will want to be with others, MUCH more fun!!).

I am having a stamping Retreat on Dec. 5th if anyone wants to come and make this! The supplies are around $50.00,and you will take home the ‘left-overs’, I would have to go out and buy the base (which is a round box), and I put burlap ribbon on it to make it look more like a’tree’.

My husband is catering this event, and we will have all kinds of cookies and treats, plus door prizes!! If you don’t want any of the above mentioned (food, door prizes) the cost will be $65.00.

You MUST RSVP and Pay by the 23rd to let me get the supplies back in time. I hope you decide you want to join me in making this wonderful gift! You DON’T have to give it away!

It is so much more fun to do a project when you have music playing, cookies to eat and friends to talk to!

So? What do you say? Are you in? Space is limited, so don’t wait to hold your place!!

August Paper Pumpkin

September 4, 2015 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I played with my Paper Pumpkin today!! It was so much fun, I just went to the Pinterest Paper Pumpkin site after I did the handmade cards and box straight from the PP directions, I wanted to do some different ones, and this site helped me pick out what I wanted to do!

The SU! card in the middle uses the new Gold 3/8″ glitter ribbon #139614 from the Holiday Catalog (2015) . I cut up one of the cards with the stripes so I could get more from that one sheet (since it is printed front and back, I can make a lot of cards by piecing it.)

I also paired the saying with the Metallic Foil Doilies #138392 behind it to make it POP! Adding dimensionals underneath really made it stand out!

The card to the right of the middle I used the cut up piece (from the middle card) and layered it onto Gold Foil Sheets #132622, and used the ribbon from the kit I was inspired by one of the cards on the site listed above.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the 1/2 off deal that Stampin’ Up! is offering now until the 10th of September, you get TWO months for the price of one!! Just go to PaperPumpkin.com site and sign up! Just remember to put me down as your Demonstrator!

Sheltering Tree Class!

August 23, 2015 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I am having a Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree Class next month. We will be making framed Seasons art (this has a biblical verse inside, you can include it or not), four handmade cards with decorated envelopes inside and out AND the cost of the class covers YOU getting the stamp set and the Envelope Liner paper to take home with you along with the cards and Art!!

You get the class, cards, stamp set and liner paper, and what do you pay? Only $38!!

IF you already have the stamp set, just buy a stamp that is equal to the price!

Here are pictures of the cards and framed art. Psssssst! I even teach you how to make a mixture for the trees in the Winter Season!!

You can click on each photo and see them closer. Notice the hand stamped Winter card, hopefully you can see the shimmer! This uses my own concoction from SU! materials!

This is a Pre-Pay class, I want to have the class by the middle of September so the latest you can register is the first week in September!

This was really fun to make, I plan on giving this away for a present!

I can also do a video for each card, if anyone wants to do a class to go, and orders the same amount. This way even if you don’t live near-by or can’t make it to class, you can still enjoy making it at home in your own time!

Hope to hear from you soon!!
