November 2025 NC Demos Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop.  We are here the last Sunday of each month and are so happy you could join us this evening.  The theme for this month is "Time for Tags"  and I have to admit I am not a fan of them.  Over the years I have come up with an easy and simple tag that can be made very quickly.

What I like about this tag besides being easy I can use items I have left over from other projects.  This tag is really easy. You will need a piece of Basic White 6 x 2 you will score and fold at 3 inches.  On the edge of one side you will is a hole punch and make your circle.

You will also need a 2 x 2 piece of Glimmer or Shimmer paper.  What you will do is glue the glimmer paper to the edge without the hole and once in place can glue the piece together. 

Then using a marker or twine make a line from the ornament to the top add a bow and decorations are done.  Then make a small hole on left side and add trim for hanging and you are done.  The back is where you can personalize it. They do work up very quickly.  Here are several more samples I have made.

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and please make sure to stop by all the other blog sites for more examples.

Stay safe and stamp on.

October 2025 NC Demos Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop, we are here the last Sunday of the month and so happy you could join us this evening.  This months theme is Stack a bunch of papers, cut them all up at once, shuffle them and create a number of cards with them.  I decided to do a stack that makes 3 cards and very easy to do for a class.

I took 3 different pieces of DSP cut 5 1/4 x 4.  I made a pile of them and cut the any which way to make 3 pieces from each design.

This is what I got when I mixed them up.

I then took 3 pieces of Basic White cut them to 5 1/4  x 4 now I wad ready to grab 3 different pieces in different shapes and made these 3 backgrounds.

Now I was ready to create my cards.  For the first card I made a base with Pecan Pie 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  I used this base for all my cards but different colors.  I glued the first piece to the base.  Then took another piece of Pecan Pie cut 3 x 1 and glued on a sentiment from one of are Ephemera packs and glued it to this piece.  I placed it in the center of the cards with dims and then fussy cut 2 leaves and 1 mushroom from the DSP and added them to the top of the sentiment piece. Finished with 3 Earth Tone Shimmer Gems.

The second card has a card base of Basic Beige. I added a piece of Gold Edged Satin ribbon across the center and then adhered it to the front of the card.  Had a large circle already die cut and on this piece and the Fluffy Squirrel stamp set decorated the circle.  Stamped the outside of the squirrel and sentiment in Early Espresso and the inside of the squirrel in Cajun Craze piled up some acorns in Pecan Pie and put the circle in the center of the cards over the ribbon with dims.  Finished with 3 Pressed Flower motifs.

The card base for the 3rd card is Crushed Curry.  Added the last background to the card base.  Took another die cut circle and with Cajun Craze stamped the sentiment, some acorns and leaves around the circle.  The acorn and leaves were in a Paper Pumpkin kit.  I then ran the edge of the circle in the ink pad.  Added this to the center of the card. Adhered 3 Crust embellishments to the card and #3 was done.

Here are the three cards together.

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and make sure to stop by the other blogs for some great ideas.  Till next month be safe and keep on stamping.
