December NC DEMO Blog Hop - "A Little Love"

 

 

Welcome to the NC DEMO Blog Hop! This month’s theme, "A Little Love," is open to interpretation, and I’m excited to share my take on it with you. My project isn’t a Valentine’s card as you might have expected. Instead, I created something a little different—a Single-Sided Note-card, a fun and versatile technique that I "LOVE" and I’ve enjoyed making for years. This project is quick, creative, and can easily be adapted with whatever supplies you have on hand. When I made this sample, I was away from home without my full crafting arsenal, so I had to get creative with the supplies I had available. I love how it turned out and hope it inspires you to try something similar! You may have hopped over here from Tina's blog, and I’m sure she shared an amazing project. Be sure to check it out if you haven’t already!

NC Demos October 2024 Blog Hop - Let's Get Scrappy!

Welcome to the October NC DEMO Blog Hop! We’re excited to share our creations with you on the last Sunday of each month, and we’re so glad you’re here to see what we’ve crafted. You may have just visited Jo Anne Hewins’s blog, and I’m sure she had a fantastic project for you. If not, be sure to check out her inspiring creations [HERE].

I don’t know about you, but I have tons of scraps I love to use instead of cutting fresh cardstock! I’ve saved plenty of strips from layering cards, and today, I’m putting them to good use.

 

This is my CLEAN AND SIMPLE CARD!

I love fall colors and the crisp air (when I lived in Raleigh) not so much crisp air here in Florida in October anyway.  

 

These are the steps below I used to make this fun card. 

 Supplies used: ink, spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol, dies, stamps, note cards and strip of Old Olive card stock,

 

I touched the ink pads top edge to the glass mat and then spritzed with rubbing alcohol (you can use water too but the alcohol dries quicker) Supplies used: ink, spritzer, dies, stamps, note cards and strip of Old Olive card stock,

 

 

 After you spritz the ink on your glass mat touch your basic white card stock to the ink and lift and touch again to get good coverage on the card stock.

 

 

After you get your desired color the cut your leaves out with the  dies.

 Stamp your sentiment towards to bottom and center the strip of Old Olive card stock and attach leaves using glue of choice.  It is a good way to use your strips of card stock when cutting for cards.  This is my scrap jar for narrow strips, I keep it handy on my desk. 

 

Of course for my larger pieces I keep them in a file folder in a 31 container.
