Stamp with Frances: NC DEMO JUNE 2026 BLOG HOP

Welcome to our JUNE NC DEMO BLOG HOP! Going with our theme of Celebrating Summer!

Summer is one of my favorite times of the year! There always seems to be something to celebrate—from backyard barbecues and picnics to family reunions, parades, and fireworks. One of my favorite summer holidays is the Fourth of July. I love seeing homes decorated in red, white, and blue and spending time with family and friends.

When I heard this month's blog hop theme was Favorite Summer Events, I knew exactly what I wanted to share. Instead of creating a card, I decided to share a patriotic home décor project that can be displayed throughout the summer that I made earlier in the month.

Using the Party Alphabet Dies, I created a USA banner in red, white, and blue. Each letter is attached to its own banner, and I added navy stars for a festive touch. I chose to attach the banners to a rustic twig that I spray painted white. I also hung a few stars from smaller twigs to give it movement and a whimsical look. I attached the twig to an antique spool covered with retired burlap ribbon and accented with red ribbon at the top.

I love combining natural elements with paper crafting, and this project came together just the way I imagined. It would look great on a mantel, entry table, or even on a covered porch while celebrating Independence Day.

One of the things I enjoy most about Stampin' Up! products is that they aren't just for cards. With a little imagination, you can create beautiful home décor, party decorations, gifts, scrapbook pages, and so much more.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope this project inspires you to create something special for your own summer celebrations.

If you arrived here from Tracie's Blog, I hope you enjoyed her beautiful project. If you're just joining the hop, be sure to go back and visit everyone's creations—you won't want to miss all the wonderful inspiration!

JULY STAMP CAMP!!!

If you live in the Vero Beach FL area we would love to have you join us for Stamp Camp each month, we meet the first Saturday of the month except when a holiday lands on that date, like July we will meet July 11th.

Last month we had a fabulous time at stamp camp. Everyone loved the cards and the food is always good. If you like what you see join us July 11 for another fun creative day.

We have some amazing cooks in our group and I asked Peggy to send me her recipe for Biscoff Gooey Cake that she was making for dessert. It was handwritten so I used ai to convert it to print and I when I put it in word and rearranged it so it would fit in my recipe card die they turned out great.

I love the camaraderie that we all have and how everybody helps each other out. It’s not just about stamping. It’s about friendships and relationships.

To register contact me before 7/6/26 so I can prepare for you. You will be making 6 cards and this month we are using the Fern & Flora Bundle. Cost is $42 and it includes some products in your fee. We meet from 10-2 at Rockridge Clubhouse and everyone brings a snack to share. Let me know if you are interested.
