November 2024 NC Demos Blog Hop

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop.  We are here the last Sunday of each month and are so happy that you could join us this evening.  This month's theme is "It's A Gift" and I have one gift holder I make all the time.  It's quick and easy to do and all you need is paper not even glue but to make sure it stays together I do add a little glue.  I always have a few of these available and can decorate it as I use it, you never know what the occasion will be.

To get started you will need a square piece of paper.  My favorite size is 6 x 6 but I keep a few 12 x 12 finished projects around.  I have done some 4 x 4 but they are very small.

To make this, pick the size square you want and fold it on a diagonal.  Brunish the fold really well.

Next, unfold it and bring the top point down to the edge of the paper to the first fold.  Brunish it good.

Next, bring that fold back making sure that you can see the fold that you just made.  Take one of the corners and bring it up to the fold line making sure it is even with that top fold line.  The paper now is a little thick so may take a little longer to get to the fold line.  Brunish is piece really good and then repeat on the next corner doing it exactly the same way. It is usually here that I will add some adhesive.

To finish the gift holder bring down that piece that you created from the top add some adhesive to secure and you are done.  Now all you have to do is decorate if you want too.  Makes great party favors too.  I often use these to give small gifts to the ladies that come to my classes.

6 x 6 holder is good for candy, gift cards, tea bags and little items.  Bigger ones can hold hot cocoa and cookies,  gloves, even a small journal.  Uses are endless.

 

Here is one with a simple decorations. 

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and make sure to check out all the other blogs for some more awesome ideas.   Be safe, keep on stamping, and Happy Thanksgiving.

October 2024 NC Demos Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop we are here the last Sunday of each month and are so happy that you could join us this evening.  The theme for this month is "Lets Get Scrappy".  We all have those scraps of paper that we save and they do mount up very quickly and what do you do with them.  My cards this evening will give you one idea of what you can do.

Most of the time I am cutting off a 1/2 inch piece and that's what happened with the Season of Green and Gold DSP.  I had a ton of 1/2 inch pieces so I decided to use them on a card.   The base of my card is Old Olive cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  I made sure I had strips of DSP different lengths.  I then cut a piece of Basic White 5 1/4 x 4 and took the longest piece of DSP lined it up on a diagonal corner to corner and began layering the strip next to each other until I filled up the white piece on one side.  I then trimmed off all the edges.  Stamped a sentiment from Greeting of the Season stamp set in the open white space and put it on the Old Olive base.  I finished the card 3 Old Olive glass dots.  

Liked the way the card turned out so decided to make one for a upcoming class using different DSP.

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and for more ideas make sure you cheothe the blogs of all the others on this hop for some wonderful ideas.  Until next month stay safe and keep on Stamping.

September 2024 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 Hello Pumpkin we are showcasing everything pumpkin.

My card uses the More Than Autumn stamp set and dies

I did a very simple card but it has a lot of pumpkin items.  The card base is Pumpkin Pie cardstock cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4.

I used a piece of Iconic Celebrations DSP all pumpkins cut 5 1/4 x 4 and put this on the front.  Then stamped the cup and pie pieces in black , die cut and colored them with blends.  Added these to the front with dimensionals.  Then die cut the words pumpkin season in Pumpkin Pie cardstock and added them to the bottom of the card.  Finished the front with 3 glass dots. 

For the inside cut white 5 x 3 1/2 and added a strip of DSP on the bottom cut 3 1/2 x 3/4

Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and please make sure to stop by all the other blogs for more pumpkin ideas. Right now I am going to have a Pumpkin Spice Latte.

See you next month be safe and keep on stamping.
