Stunning, Fun & NEW

Hey Guys – Stunning, Fun & NEW product is what I am sharing with you today. Of course I am excited to share with you these TWO Stunning cards! One is a fancy fold that holds the front closed. If you would like to watch this Live or already recorded, click here!

For those of you who would like to get some of my designs mailed to you, watch Live and be sure to comment (during the Live) so we can put you in the drawing! I have heard from everyone that I mail to: These are so much better in person!! That is ONE reason you will want to watch Live, the other is that we have fun visiting!

You will also want to sign up for my Newsletter here on my blog because I send out all the PDF’s of the projects I have done and will do on YouTube! Great news, is that it is FREE! Mostly I send the pdf’s out once a month. So don’t forget to sign up now!!

Last Chance Product!

Now that I am done showing you Stunning, fun & new product, I want to make sure you know about the Last Chance Product. Especially that one of my all time favorites is on sale and discontinuing, can you believe that Deckled Rectangles are leaving?! Well it is on sale (while supplies last) for $18 from $30! Deckled Circles are retiring too. 🙁 If you are one of those who love to shop discounted items be sure and check out my OnLine Store ASAP! Product is disappearing as I type this!

Also there is ANOTHER way to get a discount EVERY time you purchase and that is by joining my team!! I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t tell you that you could maximize your investment by joining SU! As soon as you join you can get 20% off your next and every order. Plus depending on how well you do you can get even a bigger percentage off! Exciting news you can join The Tedder Bears if you click here!

I appreciate you!

Of course I appreciate you! If you are here reading this It makes my day. Be sure to leave a comment so I know you visited. Surely in the past I have mailed out handmade cards to those who have commented here! Thank you for being my friend and supporting me and my small business!

My Happy Place

November 21, 2024 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

My Happy Place

Hey Guys, My Happy Place is where I am taking you today. Of course Stampin’ Up! has come up with a new stamp set and it’s called Happy Hibiscus! Instead of being a stamp set with dies this set has an Embossing Folder that the dies fit into! Furthermore it embosses AND cuts all at the same time! I especially love when SU! makes my job easier! By chance if you want to see how I did this, click here to see my video!

Besides showing how the dies work with the embossing folder I am also showing you how to make a multi colored sentiment!

Did you know……

Now that I am done showing you My Happy Place, I want to tell you how you can get my PDF’s for FREE! Mostly I do my videos on Thursdays (next week is Thanksgiving so NO video) and for my videos I offer to send you the pdf with instructions along with pictures at no cost! Instead of charging you all I ask is that you sign up for my Newsletter, since that is how I send it to you! Of course I would love it if you had me be your SU! Demonstrator if you live in the U.S. But that’s not why I do it, I love what I do so much that I want to share it!

You TOO can be a discount shopper

After all, isn’t that what we ALL want? Of course I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t tell you how to maximize your crafting investments! When you become a Demo you don’t EVER have to sell, but you DO get the Discount! From the beginning you get 20% off! Eventually I started doing classes because I was having so much fun learning I wanted to share it with others!

But you don’t have to ever have a class. Did you know that you have, when you sign up, around 5 months to meet a quota? And if you don’t you can re-sign up and get the signing bonus again! SHHHH, that is a little known secret! At least that is how it is right now. I have countless people who sign up, get the discount and if they don’t make the $300 in that quarter they drop and resign up right away! It’s much cheaper that way if you don’t want to do classes. But what I did before I started classes was to invite my friends over to PLAY and we would have so much fun they would want to purchase too! That is what kept me going for years! If you would like to join click here to join my team!

I appreciate you!

As always this is when I tell you how much I love that you come here and visit! Nonetheless you are here when I’m sure that you could be doing something else! Overall that makes me intensely happy! Unquestionably I appreciate you! Hope you come to a Live at some time! I give away the cards I make and you could be the one who wins it! Hope to see you here and On Youtube!

WOW Fancy Fold!

April 4, 2024 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Hey Guys, I’ve got a WOW Fancy Fold for you! This fold was brand new to me, so I HAD to try it! The idea came from Mindy Clove when we swapped in Houston. Of course, I changed it up somewhat. For the DSP I used Unbounded Beauty, and the stamp set was Cutest Cows. The Dies are from Unbounded Love. These Dies are so awesome! Today is Thursday so I am doing my Live on my YouTube Channel at 4:00 (eastern, USA), if you missed it you can see it here.

NEW Catalog starts in May!!

Because I am a Demo with Stampin’ Up! I get to go to SU! functions that give me the catalog before anyone that didn’t go! I was so excited to learn that we could purchase before everyone else too! There are A LOT of perks for being a Demo, but this one takes the cake! Most important I didn’t have to wait to have it mailed to me, and you can do that too next year! In the same way, those who attend next years meeting we’re going to Raleigh NC!! Not to mention I don’t have to get a plane ticket! Join my team if you too want to go next year and get all the perks!!

Thank you!

Now that we are done seeing the WOW fancy fold I want to tell you how much I love that you are visiting me! Of course, the fact that you are here means the world to me! Thank you so much for spending your time here! As always, I hope to see you next week!

Who doesn’t love to play with new product!?

March 28, 2024 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys! Who doesn’t love to play with new product!? This time of year is so fun when new product comes out and I can play with it BEFORE it comes out to the public!! This is such a perk for being a Demonstrator! Not only did I get the new catalog early, BUT I also got it before other Demo’s because I went to Convention with SU! in Houston! You too can get product early, join my team and when our next convention (In Raleigh!!) you can come with me!!

Of course, I have a video for you showing how to make these cards, you can watch it once it goes Live on YouTube! Click here to watch!

Who doesn’t love to play with new product!?

Want a PDF for these cards?

Of course, I make a PDF for each of my cards I do in my videos and present here! It’s super easy to get a pdf, you only need to sign up for my Newsletter here on my blog!! For every week that I do a video I also do a pdf and send them out to those who signed up about every 2-3 weeks! Now, if you have followed me, you KNOW that I love cards that are a little more than simple. For every card I look at it I wonder: Does this make me happy? If it does, then it’s good enough to do a video on. If the answer is no, then I go back to the drawing board! My goal is to make YOU happy as well as me!!

These stamp sets come out once the New Catalog is live and that happens in May! There are MANY stamps/products that I haven’t been able to order yet, but once May comes I am all over it!! This catalog is different than others we have had. SU! is doing something a little different than we’ve done before. It IS a little disconcerting when things change. But now that I have gone through it MULTIPLE times, I’m seeing why they changed things up! My advice is to have an open mind when looking through it for the first few times. I know you will love it as much as I do!!

Please come back!

Thank you so much for being here and supporting my small business! I’ve been a demo for over 20 years, and this is the only thing I’ve stuck with for this long, other than being married and a mother! I love to think of you checking out my cards and wanting to make what I did right away! That’s how I am when I see something I like! I hope to be here next week, it depends on whether my daughter stays while coming home for Easter. You should know that Easter is special in my family, namely because my maiden name is Easterday! See you next time!!

Beautiful AND Useful!

February 1, 2024 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys, Beautiful AND Useful! Make a Tissue Holder to match your Decor! As most of you know if you have been tuning in, I LOVE Gray! To be sure, Gray and Silver are stunning together. And, have you seen the New Embossing Folder?! This folder is called Layered Florals 3D and it is Gorgeous! Today is Thursday, I am doing a pre-recorded video which you can catch here. Of course, I would love it if you would watch, comment and Share! Also, if you could subscribe to my YouTube Channel I would be FOREVER grateful! For 3 years now I’ve been trying to get my subscribers past the 2000 point. With your help I know it can happen soon!

Beautiful AND Useful!

One thing that would make this even prettier is to emboss the flowers with Silver Embossing Powder. I didn’t do that, but I DO think it would add to the extreme beauty! Don’t you think this will make a great gift to someone!? Conversely, I now have 3 but I have 4 bathrooms! Indeed, I will need to make one more!

Did you know you can get FREE Pdf’s?

That’s right! For everyone who signs up for my Newsletter (here on my blog) you will forever more (well until I retire) get the project PDF’s that I make on YouTube! Whenever I get about 4 projects done, that’s when I send it out! Who can say Happy Mail!!

Now that we have talked about Beautiful AND Useful, we can move on to it being Sale-a-Bration time!! After all, who doesn’t love free things!? And now you can choose from these!

But wait there’s more!! As I have noted before you can join & get a discount with a great deal. I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t tell you how to maximize your investment, click here and scroll down.

See you next week!

Thank you so much for coming by to visit! My hope is that you learned something and will tell your friends! As always I appreciate you, see you next week!

Sunflowers made easy!

August 17, 2023 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys, Today I’m showing Sunflowers made easy! Because I don’t use Masks very often I thought maybe you don’t either. Undeniably Sunflowers are one of the most popular flowers, so when I saw these Masks and how pretty the flowers are, I had to get it! Certainly, if by chance you missed my video showing how easy and fun it is, click here to see it! Surely you know that I give away my cards to those watching Live (in a drawing, of course)!

Sunflowers made easy AND Houndstooth

Sunflowers made easy as well as Houndstooth!

So I showed you Sunflowers made easy, I didn’t mention that the masks also have Houndstooth! Indeed doing the flap on the envelope with Houndstooth is really pretty!! Of course, let me know what you think!

Are you ready for Christmas? Early Bird Special!

What? Christmas already?! Well, I’m not quite ready for Christmas but I can help you make your Christmas cards AND have fun visiting, crafting and meeting new Friends! Every year I have Christmas card classes and it’s all day where we listen to Christmas music, craft, eat, laugh and generally have a ton of fun! I also suggest if you can’t make it live, you can get the fixin’s (I’ve lived in the South too long!) for the cards sent to you at your door! Another way you can be ready for Christmas is to buy the PDF’s all by themselves. Of course, If you are interested click here to see how! I have an Early Bird price so don’t wait, it expires September 1st. However, If you have seen the cards I have made, you know that these will WOW your family and friends!

Thank you so much!

Basically, I always tell you how much I appreciate you and I hope you believe me! Surely you know that I know that you can be anywhere, visiting any other site, but you chose mine! Of course that makes me happy and thankful! Especially, the fact that you are reading this tells me that you value what I bring to the crating world! I especially appreciate that you keep coming back! Particularly important, next week, I will be in Vegas for a SU! function, so I won’t be posting, but I’ll only be gone a week! So, stay tuned!!

Plus another fun card using Lighting the Way by SU!

Hey Guys, making a Light up Card isn’t always easy, but I’m going to show you the easy way! If you want to watch my video so you can see how it’s done, click here! As always I walk you through making a handmade card, but this time it is interactive! When you push on the sentiment, the Lantern lights up! Fun!

Light up card the EASY way!

This may not be a light up card the easy way, but it is so pretty!!

Get 15% off ALL stamps in the BIG Catalog, today only!!

Of course I love a sale, who doesn’t!? Today only there is a sale on ALL stamps (no dies) so be sure to click on this link to go to my OnLine Store and get your deal! Moreover you will also get from me the PDF for this month that is exclusively for those who purchase $35 or more! I love giving people things, it is my Love Language.

Not only do I like Light Up Cards, especially when it’s done the easy way. Also I love creating in general! Not sure I share this enough but I NEVER thought I had a creative bone in my body. It wasn’t until I met Stampin’ Up! that I discovered that I am artistic! My goal for you is to share how easy stamping is and hopefully you can also learn it’s not as hard as either of us had thought!

I’m off to see my grandkids!

As I told you before a couple of weeks ago I went to CA to visit my family. My daughter let us bring back my grandson without his parents, and it went so great!! Now, I am going to DC to meet up with my other daughter and my other two grandkids! Don’t you love Summer!? Overall, I am excited that I got to see ALL my kids AND grandkids!

My hope is that you love this post and that you will share it and my video with your friends, but mostly I would love for you to try your hand at making a Light up card the easy way!
