January 2022 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.  The theme for this month is Sale A Bration that wonderful time of the year when you can spend $50 or $100 and get something free.  We all love the free stuff.  So I was happy when it was suggested as a theme as this SAB brochure is full of some amazing products and it was hard to choice just one so I decided to chose a set, it is free with a $100, and I love it the Friendly Hello bundle which is a stamp set and designer series paper.

 I wanted to do something different so I made a Rocker card I haven't seen one done before so I gave it a shot and it worked.  I love using our Basic Borders dies and have always used it on just one side of the card base this time I used it to cut the whold card base and it worked I made a Rocker or Rocking card.


The card base is Pool Party and a regular base of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  Folded the base and got the die as close to the edge and as even as I could and cut it out.

Cut DSP and a piece of Basic White to 5 1/4 x 4 and put the die on one edge so it could easily be layered on the front and on the back.

Another piece of white was cut 3 x 3 and here is where I did my stamping. Bird and sentiment were done in Black and edges were sponged in Pool Party then with a Q-tip and ink I added some color to the bird and to the flowers once this was done put it on the front of the card in the center with dimensionals 

Made a bow with the Pool Party Striped Grosgrain ribbon and added it with a glue dot to the upper right of the card and to finish is added some pearls.  

Added the white piece to the inside and the card it was done and with a flick of the finger it rocks like the wind blowing through the trees.


Thank you so much for stopping by and please make sure to visit the other blogs for some great SAB ideas.  Be safe and looking forward to seeing you next month.
