NC Demos December 2025 Blog Hop - Bling On 2026

Welcome to the December edition of the NC Demos Blog Hop! We are so glad you are here! It has been a rough 2025 for me (loss of family members and heel surgery) but this hop keeps me grounded in my Stampin' UP! business.  I have made a commitment to the wonderful Demos on our hop and I know you will love what they created for you.  You may have hopped over from Amanda Rhodes  blog if not don't forget to check her our here!

 

This month our theme is Bling It On!  

 

I thought I would share this fun New Years card.  I looked through my stash and found some Silver Glimmer paper which was perfect for the bling part.  I love night of navy and silver together, so I thought they would be a great combo for my New Year's Card. 

 

Just another angle for my card leaning against my old coffee pot that I have had forever.  This is the last of my holiday photos.  I will be putting everything away tomorrow.  

When do you take your tree down and put other Christmas decor away?  For us it varies depending on when we put it up.  This year we were a little late.  Today I mentioned to my husband since we have not turned the tree lights on since Christmas day I would like to take it all down tomorrow.  (he agreed)

NC DEMOS NOVEMBER BLOG HOP- IT'S TIME FOR TAGS

 

 

Welcome to our monthly NC Demo Blog Hop, this month we have a fun theme using tags.  I love a cute tag anytime but we are getting into the giving season and I wanted to share some tags I have made previously and for today too.   You may have hopped from Toni's blog and I know she had something fabulous for you! 

This month I was using the Bauble Blooms set for my monthly Stamp Camp and used Season of Elegance DSP I forgot it was a carry over and I was so glad.  It made such a cute ornament.  

 

 This is a coordinating card but using different colors and using different piece of dsp from the same Season of Elegance package.  

 This next one is one I did in the spring to add to a gift I was giving.  They just make a package look so good.  

 

 Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed our fun theme.  Don't forget to hop on over to Laurie's blog, I know she will not disappoint you!  Make sure you check out the rest of our fun group.

NC DEMOS OCTOBER 2025 BLOG HOP

STACK, CUT, SHUFFLE, CREATE...... This month is all about creating quick and easy cards for Fall/Thanksgiving or Christmas/Holidays that could be used at a Stamp-A-Stack, Card Buffet etc. 

You may have hopped over from Tina's blog but if you didn't please go back and check out her post. She always has good ideas.  

 

 I worked on fall thank you cards.  This is really a fun way to do a lot of cards quick and easy.  Below are my finished 4 cards. 

 

 It's been a while since I used this technique and so glad it was our theme this month. 

1- You use 4 pieces of DSP and or coordinating card stock 3.3/4" x 5" 

2-Then you layer them on top of each other (cut all 4 pieces at the same time.  

3- Cut starting at the top on the 3.3/4" side on the right hand side at 1.1/4" making 2 piles.

4-Turn both piles horizontally and cut at 1-1/4” from the right side along the long 5” side. 

5-Start to shuffle, using mine as an example shuffle the top right brown plaid piece to the bottom of that pile.  

Next shuffle 2 pieces from the  the small cayjun craze pile on the right hand to the bottom of that pile.

Next shuffle 3 pieces from the pumpkin pile on the left side bottom.   

 

 

 

 

Directions for Assembling

1. Take the top paper from each pile and attach to a piece of 4” x 5 1/4” (I used Very Vanilla ) with all four pieces leaving no space in between. You will have a margin on the outside.

2. Continue attaching the next round of pieces from the tops of the piles to create the second card front and so on till you have all 4 created

3. Attach all the card fronts to card bases.

5. Add punched/die cut layer at the point where all four pieces meet. 

6. Stamp your image and layer and add sentiment.

 I hope you liked what I created it was a lot of fun and quick and easy.  

 

 

 

   Check out the fun ideas below!  Be sure to check out Toni's blog.  She is always creative.

A little about me.  Some of you may know that I had heel surgery recently, I am going to PT twice a week and trying to get back to normal. At least I no longer have to wear a boot.  :) I'm trying to get back to classes and clubs and other activities. 

I am forming a new Sassy Stampers Card Class locally starting in November. It's been a while and my ladies love meeting each month and making fun cards and home decor etc together.  If you live in the Vero Beach Fl area and are interested let me know.  Also if you don't live in my area I will be glad to send you your kits for a Sassy Stampers Club in the mail.

 If you have any questions let me know. Frances

NC Demos September Blog Hop

 

 

This month's theme is so fun.  "We've Got Your Back"  We are suppose to use background stamps for our cards  and sometimes you know how you read something in a flash and when you finish your project you re-read everything to make sure you have everything they asked for and you got it all wrong?   Well that was me this month.   I did make a background however.   If you came from Tracie's blog I am sure you loved what she created.  If you did not don't forget to circle back to her.   

I had heel spur surgery at the end of August and I have been trying to recuperate and do what I am suppose to do but it is not always easy.  This is day one with Nurse Astro by my side. :)

 

 

This is my card with my background.

I started out attaching rubber bands to one of my old clear embossing plates by crisscrossing them.
 

I then slipped a piece of Basic White cardstock under the rubber bands.  

Next I stamped over the rubber bands with Garden Green Ink pad 

 

 

 I slipped the card stock from the rubber bands and used a pencil eraser to make dots with Real Red Ink in the white spaces left from the areas the rubber bands were. 

 

 

 

 I attached this piece of card stock to a Real Red background piece. 

 I used the labels and Joy and the Holly Leaves from the Holly Jolly Dies.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check out the rest of our NC Demo's to find out what they created.
