A Fancy Fold balcony Card….What!?

June 17, 2021 Lisa Tedder 2 Comments

Who doesn’t love a New Fancy Fold?!

Hey Guys!!

First off, I want to say how much I LOVE Fancy Folds, today I am sharing a Balcony Card…..What!? Yes, I have never heard about it either, so I am sharing with you how to make one by doing my weekly video that you can watch. Also, who doesn’t love a new fancy fold?! Second I saw this fold on Pinterest, but have never heard about it, have you?

Consequently, after looking at Pinterest, I started making it and here is what I made:

I LOVE Fancy Folds, today I am sharing a A Balcony Card…..What!?

In addition to Fancy Folds, I also like techniques! As a result of that, I am showing you my 2nd card that I did on my video using the same set Hey, Chick! and Hey Birthday Chick. In this case, I used the technique where you emboss with a folder, the entire card front, layers and all (I placed ‘Happy Birthday’ several times down one side, and embossed that too!), it’s a very cool technique!

Generally I like to keep to one stamp set for my videos, but this time the two: Hey Chick! and Hey Birthday Chick work so well together, I HAD to use them both! Subsequently, you will need to buy Hey Chick asap, since it won’t be available after June! And, doing a Balcony card….what!?, yes a Balcony card was a must for me, I hope you like it as much as I do!

As a rule, here are the specifics for both cards:

Paper:

Hey, Chick Bundle
Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

Inks:

Memento
Crumb Cake (to sponge over fence/barn)
Early Espresso
Black Stampin’ Write Marker
Blends
Daffodil Delight
Pumpkin Pie
Calypso Coral

Paper:

Card 1

Early Espresso: 6″ sq (for the video I made it 5 1/2″ x 6″), 7″ x 1 1/2″ scored @ 1/2″, 3 1/2″, 6 1/2, 5″ x 2 1/2″ scored @ 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 4 1/2″, 1 1/8″ x 2 1/2″ (trim after), scraps for Happy Birthday
Very Vanilla 5 7/8″ sq x 3 (for the video it is: 2 7/8″ x 5 3/8″ 3 times), scrap for sentiment/ chickens
Crumb cake: scraps for 5 fences, 1 barn
Cinnamon Cider: scrap for pieces of the barn
Bumblebee: scraps for baby chicks
Beauty of the earth DSP: 1 3/8″ x 2 7/8″ (x2), 1 7/8″ x 2 3/8″ (x2), 2 3/4″ x 3 5/8″

Card 2

Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ (x2), scrap for chick/tag

Misc:

Bumblebee Gingham ribbon

Tailor Made Tags
Bark 3D embossing folder

Finally, this is where I tell you that the supplies listed above are also in picture form below, click on any of them and you will be taken to my On Line Store. Incidentally, for purchases above $35 you will not only get the card packet for the class I did on YouTube that week, but you will also get a PDF of 16 cards with step by step instructions as well as pictures! Above all, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your support of my small business!

One last thing, I also have a Besties Club that is in it’s 5th month! Every month we (my besties Carol from AZ and Hetty from Canada) and I come up with 2 cards each using one stamp set/suite.

For example, we are using Tidings & Trimmings for July (you have until the 22nd to sign up!) for your $34 you get 1/2″ pack of the Designer Series Paper “Tidings of Christmas”, Full pack of Gold Gems, 1/3 pack of Red Rhinestones and a full roll of Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave ribbon! Every month you get between $19 – $21 worth of product in your kit, PLUS all the cardstock cut and ready for you! Plus a special gift from me!

All for that low price, we prefer to be paid by Stampin’ Up!, this way you get the most for your $$! Of course we have so much fun, you can go HERE to get all the specifics and sign up!

In Conclusion, I hope you have enjoyed this post, you can always go to the video to see HOW I made the cards, it’s too much to explain it when I also have it on video, hope you understand!

Wanna see a Rocker Card?

Hey Guys!,

My question is: Wanna see a Rocker Card? I have wanted to tackle this design for quite a while, so today I am showing you how on this Live YouTube video!

Giraffes are super cool, I got to feed one and it’s a memory I’ll cherish! Turtles aren’t REALLY animals, but I love them none the less! Every time we see one crossing a road we stop wherever we are and move them so they won’t get hit by a car! Last but not least is the Sloth. I have a great family memory involving a Sloth and it makes me smile whenever I see a picture of one! So, of course I HAD to get this set! Here is my first fun card:

Press’n Seal your thinlits for a beautiful effect

March 26, 2017 Lisa Tedder 11 Comments

Welcome to the NC Demo Blog Hop!! Happy Spring! I thought these cards looked like Spring has Sprung! Don’t you?

I have seen on other posts where people have taken a thinlit and they pop-up the pieces onto a card and the look is so pretty! The one I went to was Billie Moan and she said in her video that the effect is beautiful but the effort was intense!

I had an idea on how to do this same technique BUT make it much easier!! I made a video showing how to do this very thing! I am not into doing things the hard way and I wanted to figure out an easier way and then share it with you!

Here is the card I made for the YouTube video:

I used the smaller rose thinlit from the Stampin’ Up! thinlit set Rose Garden! I haven’t used that set in a while, but it worked perfectly for this card, don’t you think? I put clear Wink of Stella on the top of each petal and then lined the petals with Gold Wink of Stella. The background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder, sponged over top with the Peekaboo Peach to make the leaves stand out. I also used the Gold ribbon with the Peekaboo Peach ribbon on top to set it off!

I used the Bigger rose for another card, it took up more room, but still quite stunning!

I put some clear Wink of Stella over the petals to really make them stand out! For the background I used the Embossing Folder Fluttering and sponged the top with Mint Macaron to help the butterflies fly! The glitter paper is from Sale-a-Bration, sorry it isn’t available anymore, but any glitter paper is great!

How did I make this simpler? I worked for HOURS trying to figure out a quick version on how to make this, so it will be easy for everyone!

Have you heard of Press’n Seal? This works miracles!! You cut out your thinlit using the Big Shot and before you take the paper away from the thinlit you put the Press’n Seal over the back (make sure that the sticky part is towards the paper. You can see what I mean when you go to my video on YouTube! It really is quite simple!

Once you have it pressed to the back peal away the parts you don’t want like the excess paper and the outline of the rose. THEN you will leave it on the Press’n Seal but place Dimensionals on the back, put glue on the smaller pieces then remove all the backing on the Dimensionals flip over and push onto your project! Easy Peasy! Here’s a picture before you flip it:

Want to see some more projects using this technique??? Once I started I couldn’t stop!

I moved on to the Butterfly thinlits and made a card using three colors!!

For this one I removed some of the colors, ran it through the Big Shot with another color and when piecing them together on the card, I just laid them on top of each other, you can see the video to get an idea how I did this!

And again, I wasn’t done! I wanted to use the Dragonfly thinlits! Here is what I made with those!
