Special Fold Card using the Retiring set Beach Happy

May 24, 2019 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

Today I am sharing with you a card that has a special Fold. I used the Stamp set from Stampin’ Up! called Beach Happy. This is retiring at the end of the month, so if you want to get it, don’t dilly dally!!

I really love this set…….I don’t usually hang onto my retiring stamps but this one I am not letting go! 🙂

Here is my card:

The white Sentiment is really a tab that sticks into the other side of the card and it holds the card closed.

Here you can see how it looks partially open.

Isn’t this is so pretty!!? I got this idea from Debbie Naylor, you can see her card here. Debbie’s is a little different, she adhered her flap to the back, I wanted mine to open up fully.

I LOVE palms, seeing them makes me happy! Probably because I took them for granted while growing up in SoCal I never appreciated them until I don’t have them everywhere! My hubby has some in our yard to bring me joy!

Here are the specifics for this card:

It’s a Sloth!!

August 12, 2018 Lisa Tedder 1 Comment

Hey Guys,

My family has a very funny story about Sloths. Since this time I have always had a special place in my heart for Sloths. If you want to hear the story, just send me a msg and I will tell you. I don’t want to bore everyone! HA!

I was inspired by a card on Pinterest by Melissa Davies, you can see the card here. I changed up SOME of the card, but the general idea was hers! Thanks Melissa!

As soon as I saw the Designer Paper Animal Expedition I HAD to get it only because of this stinkin’ cute Sloth! I wish it was a stamp, but he’s pretty easy to cut out, so I’ll take what I can get!

I used the Leaf ribbon because not only does it look awesome, but it’s so easy to adhere to the back!!

The supplies for this card are listed below, click on any picture to be sent to my OnLine Store!

Thanks for stopping by!! I appreciate you supporting me!

Make a Pop Up Card easy by Eyeballing it!

January 30, 2018 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Hey Guys!

I am not much of a Measurer and if it takes me too long to ‘figure it out’ I tend to not want to do it! That doesn’t mean that I WON’T do it, just that I put it off until I have plenty of time! I keep seeing these Pop-Up Cards and I wanted to figure out an easy way to make one, that I could teach and show on a video…….
I figured out a quick and easy way to make a Pop-Up card that takes minimal measuring and hardly ANY stress! Check out my video!

Here is the front of the card:

I absolutely LOVE this Stampin’ Up! set: Waterfront! It really makes you feel like an artist, and you can make the scenery any way you can imagine!! I changed the scenery inside, popped up some trees and I am thrilled with the result!

The trees fold down when the card is closed and Stand up when open! On my video you can see just how easy this card is!

Here is the view from above:

I hope you like this card as much as I do! The supplies are listed below, just click on any picture to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Until next time!

NEW Technique Tuesday Making a Scene using an Embossing Folder

September 5, 2017 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

I love Tuesday’s! Techniques are my favorite thing about stamping. I get to use my Stamps in a totally different way!! The Technique I am using today had me thinking of what I could put BEHIND trees, but still show what I needed it to show.

Here is today’s card:

I made a YouTube video showing this stamping technique. I love Birch Trees, I also love the Birthday Delivery Stamp set by Stampin’ Up! I got super excited about being able to use BOTH! When you go watch the video it will show you exactly how easy this technique is to do!

Stamping directly onto an Embossing Folder isn’t something you think of normally. Tips: 1. Stamp on the side that has the negative (dipping down) the part you want as your focal in the folder this will be the part that is raised on your card. 2. Pick images to stamp on that you will see in the lines available that are the flat parts of the folder. 3. Use colors that will enhance what you are stamping. 4. Use a brayer to lay down a color that will be behind the images (sky), anything you stamp over the brayered color will be at the top of the cardstock. 5. Make sure that you don’t move the folder once you put all the stamping in (I did NOT follow this rule on my video, but I fixed my mistake!) 6. Remember that it’s ONLY PAPER, and play with it!

I won’t be able to show you here how to do this technique, it would be too confusing, so please go check out my video and see how fun and easy it is. You will notice that you will look at stamps in a totally new way!

As always, I will have the supplies listed below, just click on any image to be taken to my OnLine Store!

Thanks for stopping by! Until next time!

Technique Tuesday! Add a 3D element to any project!

August 29, 2017 Lisa Tedder Leave a comment

Today I am going to show you how to make a 3D element using Mod Podge! If you would like to see this in action, go to my YouTube video where I SHOW you how!

First, you will need to pick a shape you want to transform! I chose two, the Pansy Punch and the flower from Eastern Medallions Thinlits. I punched out 3-4 of each image with another one from DSP. I chose the Eastern Palace since it was so pretty.

Take your Silicone Craft Sheet, a foam brush, Mod Podge and your cut outs. Starting with the colored images, not your one cut from the DSP, spread a thin layer of ModPodge over entire surface with your Foam brush. Then lay another layer of the image on top of that and repeat. You will do this 3 – 4 times ending with the one you cut out of the DSP (do not put ModPodge on top). Then you can cut into all layers if you want to manipulate the paper more than the design allows. Keep working at it until you are happy with the shape. Once done, you will spread Fine Tip Glue over entire surface, set aside to dry.

When dry, put your two pieces together as shown:

This is already attached to my card, but this gives you a close-up of what it looks like when dry.

Here is a picture of the closed card:

In the video I show you how to apply the Flourish Thinlits and how to adhere it to the card!

This is a Fancy Fold card, here it is open:

If you wanted, you could attach the flower on front with a Pin, and then mail it to someone who loves to wear brooches, or use it for a headband! I have done in the past a 3d Rose, and that was gorgeous!

Please subscribe to my YouTube channel to be informed when a New Technique video is ready! Tuesday is the day I chose, since Technique Tuesday has a certain ring to it, don’t you think?

And don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so you won’t miss out on anything here.

TOMORROW I have the drawing for this card:

Today is your last chance to either leave me a message on here, or on my YouTube page, if you click on that link you will be taken to the video where I made this card. You will be AMAZED how much MORE prettier this card is in person!

I am off for now, until next time!! As always I will have the list of the supplies used (below) for the card today, just click on any of the pictures to be taken to my OnLine Store!
