November 2022 NC Demos Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop we are here the last Sunday of each month and thank you so much for stopping buy. This month's theme is "A Little Scrap Goes a Long Way". I don't keep my scraps as much as I used to. I would save every little piece and then I realized I am only going to save what I know I will eventually use. Sometimes this doesn't work out either. But I was happy I saved this DSP because it worked out perfect for this card.

The card I am doing for you today is called the Twisted Ribbon Technique and it uses up a nice amount of DSP scraps.

I began with a card base of Basic White cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 on the inside I put a scrap of DSP 5 1/2 x 1/2 on the right edge. My scraps are from the Pretty Prints DSP

I then took another piece of white 5 x 2 1/2 and put a tick mark with a pencil every 1/2 inch on both sides this is my guide for placing my scrap pieces of DSP. Cut pieces of scrap DSP 3 1/2 x 1/2, I used 2 different designs for this card. Beginning on the left side glue down strips of paper lining them up with the tick marks do one side first and then go back and do the other side. Once it is done then take your snips and cut off the extra edges. Put this piece on a piece of card stock I used Blackberry Bliss cut 5 1/4 x 2 3/4. Glue to the front left of card.

I then die cut 3 circles, smallest in white, next one used a piece of DSP and the largest in Blackberry Bliss. Stamped sentiment in Blackberry Bliss layered the three circles with dims and attached to card.

Last thing I did was make a bow with the Polished Pink open weave ribbon and attached that to the card and added on Polished Gem on the white circle.

Thank you so much for stopping by this month and please make sure to check out the other blogs to get some great ideas to do with your scrap pieces. Until next month by safe and keep on stamping.

October 30 2022 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 "Know When to Fold 'Em" and I just love fun folds. The fun fold I am doing for you today is one I have not seen before and I cased it from a Canadian demonstrator by the name of Rose Coleman. She does a video Monday through Friday and on Friday it is always a fun fold.

I started with a base of Real Red cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 2, 4 1/8 and 6 1/4. Fold it so it looks like a "W" and this is the inside of the card and where we will begin. Cut 2 small 1" circles in white and score them in half. I am using white to show you how the card is done. Glue these half circles to the center of the card one on each side of the fold like as pictured. This is what makes the card work.

Cut 2 pieces of DSP 5 1/4 x 1 3/4 and glue them down making sure to leave the two halves of the circles exposed. This part is finished for now. We can work on the two other panels on the inside these are white cut at 5 1/4 x 1 3/4 and stamp the trees from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Shaded Spruce and attach to the two end panels. The inside is finished for now.

Cut two more pieces of a different DSP 5 1/4 x 1 3/4 and attach to the front outside panels. These panels are the ones when you fold the card into a gate fold. This piece is now finished and we can work of the focal point.

Cut a piece of white 3 5/8 x 2 7/8 and stamp the largest tree from the stamp set here in Shaded Spruce and the sentiment on the bottom or where ever you would like it. Put this white piece on a piece of Real Red cut 3 x 3 3/4. This piece is now ready to put on the inside of the card and it also serves as the front of the card.

Put glue on the two exposed half circles and center this piece on the back panel and glue in place leave it to dry for a few minutes and now you can fold the card. Keeping this front panel up fold the back of the card into a gate fold and the accordian folding gives it the movement you need to fold the card.

To finish the card I took a piece of Real Red glimmer paper and the reindeer punch and punched one out and I put it on the center of the front white panel with dimensionals and of course some bling. Once you get the hang of opening and folding it the card is fun to play with and it sits anywhere with out falling over.

This is the card the girls made in my class and once they got it done they too loved it. I hope the you will give it a try it is not hard to do at all.
