October 2023 NC Demos Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop we are here the last Sunday of each month and so glad you could join us this evening.  The theme for this month is "a little something".  We are coming to the gift giving time of the year where we remember family, friends and all those whom have helped us out the year and of course there is always a just because reason.  

I have used this gift/treat bag for a number of years and have made it in many different sizes and have tucked many a gift inside.  I recently made this one as a Halloween treat for the ladies that came to my last card class. 

I began with a 6 x 6 piece of designer paper.  This bag can be made any size as long as you start with a square piece of paper.

Fold one corner to the other to form a triangle.  Burnish fold to it lays flat.

Now open the triangle and take one corner and bring it straight down to the fold.  Burnish.

Bring this fold back up to the top so it looks like it did when you first started but you now have fold lines the will be a guild for you to finish the project.

Taking the left side bring it in and position it directly under the fold.  Burnish edge and leave it in place. Bring in the right side and do the same line it up with the fold line and burnish.  We are almost done.

Place some adhesive in the center and bring down the top part again and hold in place and your bag is done and you can decorate the top if you want.  The 6 x 6 size is good for two snack size candies or a gift card.  The 8 x8 size for hot chocolate and gloves, 10 x 10 holds a dish towel perfectly and the 12 x 12 for just about anything.  Hope you try this quick and easy bag.

Thank you so much for stopping by and make sure you check out all the blogs for some great ideas.  Stay safe and see you next month.

September 2023 NC Demos Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop.  We are here the last Sunday of each month and are so glad you could join us this evening.  This months theme is "Two of  a Kind".  We had to make a card layout and then create it two more times using different stamps, paper, ink etc.  I had made a card for my next class and I really liked the way it came out and decided to use it for my blog today.  

This is the card for my class and all the measurements I give you are the same ones I used for the other two cards.  What is the same is the size card,  the size of the DSP and the white on the inside everything else has been changed. The base of the card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.  The white for the inside is cut at 5 x 3 3/4 and the DSP is cut 5 1/2 x 3.  The color of the card bases changes as does the DSP used.

On the first card I die cut the leaves and sponged color on them and added them to the left side of the card.  On this one I went with a Christmas theme and the Beary Christmas DSP.   The card base is Night of Navy.  What I did differently with this card is that I added three Bears that I fussy cut out of the awesome DSP and added them to the left side of the card.  Love those bears.

For the next card I  did a Birthday card we never have enough Birthday cards so again I changed colors, DSP and went with a Berry Burst base and the Delightfully Eclectic DSP and instead of adding three items to the left side I added more to fill up the space.  I die cut the flowers from the Darling Details die set.  I put a pink or white pearl in the center of each of the flowers and added a bow. 

So the three cards show you how you can take one layout and with different paper, DSP, stamps, ink you can make different and unique cards using supplies you have on hand.

Thank you so much for stopping by and please make sure to visit all the other blogs on the list for some more great and unique ideas.

Till next month be safe and stamp away.

August 2023 NC Demos Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop, we are here the last Sunday of each month and so glad you could stop by.  The theme for this month is "To Die For".  We had to take a large stand alone die and'

I decided on the Two-Tone Flora dies there is one large on in there that is really pretty.  I tool a piece of 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and centered the die and cut it out. It came out really good and I only had a few pieces to pop out.  You don't realize how pretty some of these dies are until you cut them out.

I decided to glue this piece to a White base cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.  I then took a piece of the White Glittered Organdy ribbon cut it at 3 3/4 and glued it to the die cut piece using glue dots so the glue would not show through the ribbon.  

Took a scrap of white and stamped my sentiment in Cherry Cobble and then punched it out with the dual oval punch.  I put it on the left side of the card using dimensional over the ribbon.  Liked the bling and decided it needed more so I added three clear rhinestones.  

I had made a card before this one that I was going to use.  The die set was the Nested Essentials and I love this set.  I did use the 3 dies that fit on the card the best and was really happy with this card too.  Stampin' Up! has some awesome dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and make sure to visit all the other blogs for some great inspiration.  The other ladies are some awesome card makers.

Stay safe and see you next month.
