November 1st is the next time the Cards A Latte group will be meeting at the Local Bean coffee shop in Hudson NC at 10 AM. We will be making 4 cards.
There is nothing better than spending an afternoon creating cards with rubber stamps. Heaven on earth. A cup of coffee with this helps add even more to the experience.

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.
