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.

NC SU DEMO JULY 2025 BLOG HOP -BIG AND BOLD

This month’s theme, Big & Bold, is all about letting your sentiments shine! I was especially excited to play with the new Party Alphabet Dies—they're perfect for making a strong statement on any card.

I have quite a collection of alphabet die sets—some retired, some current—and honestly, I can’t bring myself to part with any of them! But there’s something extra fun about this set. One of my favorite features is the coordinating Party Banner Die, which adds even more bold flair. I can’t wait to create a full banner with it soon!

For tonight’s project, I made a cheerful card using the negative space from the “H” and “I” dies to spell out a playful “HI.” I hope it brings a smile to your face!

Also, you may have hopped over here from Toni’s blog—I’m sure she shared something fabulous and inspiring! If you didn’t come from her blog, be sure to go back and check out her project. You won’t want to miss it!

And one last thing—when I saw these dies in the new rewards system, I knew exactly what I’d be saving my rewards for!

 

 

 

 


 I love using the negative sometimes.  I wanted to let the black card stock show through were I cut out the letters.  I could make a second card by using the part (H I )

NC Demo June 2025 Blog Hop

Welcome to the June 2025 NC SU DEMO BLOG HOP 

This month our theme is: Gearing Up for Some Fashionable Crafting!  You may have hopped over from Tracie Langley blog, if you did not make sure to check her blog out too, she  always has great ideas. 

We picked a photo either on line or from our own closet for color inspiration.  This is my pick from Pinterest.  My favorite colors of course in Aqua family in SU  colors Pool Party/Coastal Cabana actually most blues work for me. 

MY INSPIRATION!


 The best laid plans do not always work.  I use Pool Party on my card and it was too light so I changed to Coastal Cabanna.   (This is more like the neckless on the inspiration)

 

Base color was Grey Granite and next Smokey Slate, stripes and frame from Gallery Blooms Dies are Coastal Cabana and the flower from Thankful Garden is stamped in Coastal Cabana. 

 

 

Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check out our other talented NC Demonstrators.  You will find Kelly next on our list!

This month, we're excited to showcase the brand-new 2 2025–2027 In Colors, you may have hopped over from 

 Laurie Meier, if you did not make sure to check her out too. Laurie always has great ideas.

I’ve chosen to highlight the vibrant and juicy Strawberry Slush. For my card, I used the Layered Thoughts and Painted Stripes stamp sets. I love how bold and modern the Painted Stripes background feels—clean, simple, and perfect for making a statement!

Here's a look at my project—a bright and cheerful thank you card that’s quick to make but full of personality. The “thank you” sentiment from Layered Thoughts adds the perfect touch to finish it off.

Be sure to hop along with the rest of the group to see more inspiration using these fresh new colors!
