WOW Fancy Fold!

April 4, 2024 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

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!!

Fun & Funny Stamping

May 11, 2023 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Featuring Beautiful Balloons and Hey Chuck

Hey Guys, Fun & Funny Stamping is right up my Alley!! Of course I love to laugh (who doesn’t!?), so I made one of the cards super funny (at least to me). Every day I look in the mirror I SEE that I love to laugh! If you would like to join me on my Live and watch these cards being made, click here! As can be seen in this card Fun & Funny Stamping is the best!

Fun & Funny stamping, I used Wonderful Thoughts to make this funny.

Fun & Funny stamping – THIS is my FUN card

Who doesn’t love Frills!? The dies for this Balloon stamp set has Frills! Definitely, I wanted to show how you could look at the catalog and use the images to make something. Especially since the Stampin’ Up! catalog is FULL of ideas! Moreover I used the design for this card from the catalog, BUT the card in the catalog was a Slim Line card. So, I decided to use the design but make it different, so I could be me.

This is the FUN part of 'Fun & Funny stamping'

New Catalog is Now out!!

Surely, you know if you follow Stampin’ Up! at all that our new Catalog is now out! Of course as soon as I saw the Hey Chuck set I HAD to get it! Then I saw the Balloon set and when you put the Dies together with the set, it’s perfect! IF you like the Hey Chuck set and want to get a PDF of 16 card projects using NEW sets click here! Furthermore I added my Host code to that link, so you could get BOTH the stamp bundle and the PDF!

Finally

At this point, I’m sure you know what I’m going to say! Of course I am going to tell you that I appreciate you coming here and reading my post! The fact that you are here makes me so excited that you like what you see/read! Please come back next week when I will be having another video to share! YOU are the reason I do what I do, thank you!

Retiring…What!?

March 30, 2023 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I love Campology!

Hey guys, Campology is one of my favorites and it’s Retiring…What. Eventually, new favorites will be found. Nevertheless, be sure and get this set before it’s gone! for my cards today I already had it planned and then saw it was retiring. However, I’ve gotten to look at the NEW Catalog and I KNOW I will have new favorites!

Basically to get this set, click here and you will be taken right there! Of course for my video today I will be using this stamp set, BUT I am also making a Light Up card! Undeniably I love the lantern a lot and the fact I can make it light up is so much fun! Indeed, my videos are every Thursday, I do a live every other week and a recorded one every other week. For one thing I need to have certain days where I can do it ahead of time. Hence the reason I do a Live every other week. Of course, Hope you can join me!

Retiring…What!? Campology cards

Retiring...What!? Doesn't it look like both images are shining!?

Get the PDF’s for FREE!

Of course you read that right! It’s so easy to get these PDF’s and more each week! After all, I am making them might as well give them away! Overall, how do you get them, simple! Sign up for my Newsletter and each week I do videos you will receive the PDF’s for them as long as you are on my Newsletter list! Easy Peasy! For this purpose the sign up is on my Blogs sidebar!

Do you like to belong to a Community?

As a matter of fact, I LOVE being included in things. Moreover, once I joined Stampin’ Up! and went to their gatherings, I felt like I belonged! Not only do I have fun seeing/purchasing things earlier than others, but the friends I have made when I joined are the Best! Of course the positive things I get are the reason I’ve been a Demonstrator since 2003! Not surprisingly, imagining NOT being a part of the SU! community makes me sad, so I’ve decided I’m not leaving! Ha! Subsequently If you would like to join, I would LOVE it if you would join under me, click here to sign up! So, Retiring…What!? definitely doesn’t apply to me!

Finally

Emphatically I would like you to know how much I appreciate you taking time out of your day and spending it with me! All in all, If you are ever free on a Thursday at 4:00 (eastern) come visit me on YouTube, where I have HUNDREDS of videos! Overall it’s one of my favorite things to talk with you! Thank you!
