The Cards A Latte group will be meeting again on June 6th at 10 AM at the Local Bean coffee shop in Hudson NC. 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.

May 2025 NC Demos Blog Hop
Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop. We are here the last Sunday of each month at 8 PM and I am so happy you are here this evening. The new annual catalog went live on May 6th and that means we have new InColors for the years 2025-2027. Our challenge was to make a monochromatic colored card using one of the new InColors: which are Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger. A really nice selection of colors.
I am not much of a orange person but for some reason Timid Tiger has caught my eye and I have decided to user this color for my card this evening along with Basic White and Basic Beige. The Notes and Totes stamp set and dies are also being used this evening just love that little tote bag.
I took a piece of Timid Tiger cardstock and cut it 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and scored it at 4 1/4 and put it on the side for now. Cut a piece of Basic White 5 1/4 x 4 and inked the pretty flower in the stamp set in Timid Tiger and stamped several times before re-inking to make my own background paper and added this to the front of the card.
Next came a ton of die cutting. I cut the tote out of Basic Beige and the bag straps plus decorations all out of Timid Tiger and they were the bag scarf, water bottles and sun glasses. Then I glued everything to the tote that I could and added it to my card. Die cut white for notice and stamped heading in Timid Tiger and added that to the inside of the bag. Lastly added the cute sunglasses and a new InColor flat pearl to the front to finish the card.
For the inside I cut Basic White 5 x 3 1/2 and added one of the small hearts left over from die cutting the top of the sunglasses. My card was now finished and I love it. I hope you do too.
Thank you so much for stopping by this evening and remember to visit all the blogs in this hop to get some great ideas and to check out the new InColors.
Till next month be safe and stamp on.
