How much fun can one card be!?

October 2, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

The card I am showing you today is so much fun to make! Have you ever said: How much fun can one card be!? This stamp set (Ornamental Envelopes) has SO MANY ways to use it! Versatile is just ONE way to describe it! This set has ornaments, corner pieces, dies that let you decorate your envelope, and so much more! For today I am showing off the wreath I made. You can watch my video here to see how I did it.

By the way, I also shared on my video how to use the Stamparatus to get your stamps straight! Don’t you hate it when you finish a card and go to stamp the sentiment and it is crooked! Then you have to get creative to cover it up or start over! Well, I show you how to never deal with that again!

As always here is the list of things I used to make this card:

Stamps
Ornamental Envelopes
For Unto Us (inside greeting)
Here’s a card (front sentiment)
Inks
Soft Suede
Versamark
Paper
Garden Green 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Early Espresso 5 1/4″ x 4″ (x2), 3 1/2″ sq.
Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (DSP) 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
Whisper White 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ (inside), 3 3/8″ sq. (for under wreath), scrap
Soft Suede 3 1/4″ sq.
Misc.
1/4″ Faux Suede Trim – Early Espresso
Dimensionals
Elegant Faceted Gems
Stamping sponges
White Embossing powder
Heat tool
Stampin’ Seal +

As you saw (hopefully) last week, I love using Make-up brushes to blend in my colors, check out the blog post if you missed it.

Below you will see the same supplies listed above in picture form, if you click on any of them you will be taken to my OnLine Store! Did you know, that I have started doing YouTube Lives?!

I will mail out the packets on Thursday the 7th! Check out my Live, but be prepared it was my FIRST and I can only do better, Thank the Lord!! LOL PLUS a pillow gift!! Now, I feel like a tv announcer……BUT that’s not all!! You will also get a pdf of SIXTEEN projects with step by step instructions! Here is a sneak peek:

Olde Tyme Christmas

July 9, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

Easy and Fun Olde Tyme Christmas Card to wow your friends and family! Stamping, tearing & sponging is all it takes to make this beautiful card!

Today I am sharing with you an Olde Tyme Christmas Card! This handmade card uses the NEW stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Snow Wonder. This will wow your friends and family! First, when stamped the image has a lot of hash marks and that, to me, looks like it is an Old Fashioned drawing. Second I tried to emboss it with white and see what it looked like…..not so great! The hash marks made it all bunch up and it had no definition.

As a result, I then tried it in Early Espresso and WOW that looked so good! Colored the carrot, hat and scarf with my Stampin’ Blends, using light colors. As long as I used light colors it didn’t take away from the Olde Tyme Christmas look. Since I was making it look older I tore the paper (after stamping everything else) and sponged Early Espresso on the edges!

Since I colored the scarf with Bashful Blue, I thought pulling in that color would be pretty on the ribbon in the corners. So, I colored the ribbon with a Bashful Blue Dark Blend, popped up the image on a piece I stamped with Buffalo Check and wrapped it on the corners. In the same vein, did you notice that I used an antique slide on the ribbon at the top?! I think that added a more Olde Tyme feel to it! To sum up, for the base I used more of the Bashful Blue to pull it all together! What do you think?

For those that REALLY love That Olde Tyme Christmas look here is another one that I had done in the past, click here to see it. Likewise, here is another one that is on YouTube! Love this card check it out!

Here are the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
Snow Wonder
Buffalo Check
Ink:
Early Espresso
Crumb Cake
Blends: Granny Apple Green (on the leaves on the hat & on trees), Real Red Dk for the berries in the hat & Balmy Blue on the hat/scarf, Pumpkin Pie dk for nose
Paper:
Balmy Blue 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
Early Espresso 5 1/4″ x 4″
Crumb Cake 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Whisper White 4″ x 5 1/4″ then tear around image
Misc:
Antiqued corners & slides elements
3/8″ Metallic edged Ribbon (colored with Balmy Blue Blend)
Dimensionals

As always, the items listed above will be in picture form below. Click on any of them and you will be taken to my OnLine Store so you can purchase what you need to replicate this card! First, If you purchase from me you will receive from me a pdf with 16 projects that includes pictures and step by step instructions! Second, this is my Thank You for working with me in my business!

Who doesn’t love a Palm Tree!?

February 10, 2020 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys,

First off, I want to thank you for sticking with me. I haven’t always been consistent with my blogging, but I HAVE been consistent with my classes. If you would like to do any of my classes let me know, I love to make cards and decorations and would love to have you join me!

Second, the card I am going to show you today is one that I somewhat cased (which means that I saw a card, loved it but changed it up just a little), this one was inspired by Michele Zindorf. She is very awesome but not everyone can do what she does, so I try to bring it down to what I would hope with some guidance anyone can do! Here is her card:

My card is one that fits in a regular envelope, that was my main objective……make this card, but have it fit into an envelope I have.

What I love about her card is that you really get to see the basket weave background, since I had to make mine smaller you get a hint of that!

Here is my card:

Not sure if I have told you this in the past, but my husband has a virtual tropical paradise in our yards, here in North Carolina! I grew up in SoCal, we and go to Disney World all the time and we both love how tropical it is. So, of course I naturally gravitate towards tropical stamps…..this one REALLY called to me! I hope you love how this came out as much as I do!

Here is the inside of this card:

Now, here is the specifics for this card:

Stamps:
Timeless Tropical

Inks:
Garden Green (marker and pad)
Balmy Blue
Soft Suede (marker and ink pad)
Pacific Point
Crushed Curry (marker)

Paper:
Early Espresso 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 3 5/8″ x 4 3/4″
Crumb Cake 5 1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (x2), 5 1/4″ x 4″ (for inside card)

Misc:
Layering Ovals (3 1/4″)
sponges
Dimensionals
Basket Weave 3D folder

Below you will see pictures of all the supplies that I used, click on any of them to be taken to my Online Store. I am a Demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! in the US, if you are in need of a demo, I would love to be yours! If you purchase from me, I will send you a handmade card PLUS I will send you a file FULL of tutorials (at the least there will be 35! more than likely more!)

I hope you enjoyed your visit today! Please come back to see me!
