March 2026 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.  

Today we are saying goodbye to the 24-26 In Colors.  This group was one of my favorites that I went to again and again.  They are Shy Shamrock (my favorite), Pretty in Pink (another favorite and a gorgeous pink), Petunia Pop, Peach Pie and Summer Splash.  I will miss them.

The first card I made is a very simple one.

 

The base is Shy Shamrock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  On top of the base is a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Shaded Spruce Garden Textured Specialty Foil sheets.  I then took a piece of vellum 5 1/4 x 3 and ran it through the cut and emboss machine in the Lazy Daisy embossing folder and added it to the right side of the card using glue dots.  I then took a piece of Shy Shamrock and ran it through the machine using the Creative Haven dies and stamped it in Shaded Spruce with the Creative Haven stamp.  Added it to  the right side with dims.  Then made a bow out of Shaded Spruce satin and sheer ribbon.  To finish the card I added some Shaded Spruce rhinestones I colored with the Blends.  Card is done.

The inside I did a little stamping on the white piece 5 x 3 1/2 using Shy Shamrock Ink.

But I wasn't finished yet, had to do another card using the Shy Shamrock  and the rest of the In Colors and this is the one I made.

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and please check out all the other blogs on the list.  Lets give the 24-26 In Colors and grand send off.

Till next month be safe and keep on stamping.

February 2026 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 " Shake off the winter Blues" and it has been a crazy winter here in NC.  I am so looking forward to Spring so I decided to make a happy, colorful Spring card.

I used Azure Afternoon for my card base a color I sometimes just pass over but today it got selected.  The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.  Then I took a piece of DSP from my new favorite stack of DSP the Easter Joy. The DSP was cut 5 1/4 x 4 and attached to the front. I just love all the sheets in this pack of DSP. 

I then I punched out a White circle and stamped my sentiment in Azure Afternoon and add it to a large circle in Azure Afternoon with a dimensional and then added it to the center of my card.  I had a space at the bottom and I was going to stamp something there but then I remembered the the fluffy stickers from the Spring Mix collection and added a bird to represent the coming of Spring.

I then added an Azure Afternoon bow and some made some Azure Afternoon Rhinestones made with clear rhinestone and a blend to get the color I wanted.  Ribbon for bow was also colored this way.  And the front of you card was done.

For the inside I cut Basic White 5 x 3 1/2 added it to the inside and used one of the tiny puffy stickers in the upper right. As a result Spring has Sprung.

Thank you so much for stopping my this evening and make sure to check out the other blogs for more shaking off the winter blues cards.

Till next month keep on stamping and be safe.
