NC Demos Blog Hop March 2020

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop for March 2020! Here are the guidelines:

It is almost time to say goodbye to the 2018-2020 In Colors, so I thought this month we could share our In Color Monochromatic Masterpieces using our favorite retiring In Color.

Your project can ONLY use one of the retiring In Colors. You MAY use Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock and Black ink (Foil colors are ok too!). ALL other ink and cardstock MUST be your single retiring In Color.

So when Tracy & I got together, we decided to make one for each color!

~Enjoy!



Here is the collection and you can get the details for each card below!

NC Demos Blog Hop March 2020 Call Me Clover

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop for March 2020! It is almost time to say goodbye to the 2018-2020 In Colors, so this month's blog hop is focused on creating a Monochromatic Masterpiece using our favorite retiring In Color. Call me Clover is not may favorite in-color, but Tracy & I  decided to make one for each color! Check out Tracy's card! I actually made 2 with Call Me Clover.

~Enjoy!



I just loved artwork in the Grandma's House Stamp Set.  I decided to keep this one super simple! I stamped a frame with the Swirly Frames Stamp Set and added a row of flowers using the Grandma's House Stamp Set. The sentiment is stamped with the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set. Add a little coordinating background DSP and tie the whole thing up with some Whisper White Baker's Twine & there you have it a super cute, super simple Thinking of you card! 


I wanted to try out the Sponge Brayer using the gradient technique. I got a little pinspiration for the layout. I sponged Call me Clover over the Flower Foils DSP. I tore the edges of the DSP to add some interest & layered that over Whisper White embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and then again over a Call Me Clover card base. The sentiment is stamped with the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set and Sweetly Swirled Stamp Set. It is then cut with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and some Whisper White Flax Ribbon.

NC Demos Blog Hop March 2020 Pineapple Punch

Welcome to the NC Demos Blog Hop for March 2020! Here are the guidelines:

It is almost time to say goodbye to the 2018-2020 In Colors, so I thought this month we could share our In Color Monochromatic Masterpieces using our favorite retiring In Color.

Your project can ONLY use one of the retiring In Colors. You MAY use Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock and Black ink (Foil colors are ok too!). ALL other ink and cardstock MUST be your single retiring In Color.

So when Tracy & I got together, we decided to make one for each color, see the collection!

~Enjoy!



We used a little inspiration for this background paper card. I tore the edges of the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper and inked up the flowers with a sponge dauber. For the larger flowers I gave it a couple of coats to make them darker & the smaller flowers only a light tap to keep them lighter to give the background some more interest. I also crunched up the paper, but did not like the result, so instead I ran it through my embossing machine with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder.

A strip of Pineapple Punch was embossed with the Corrugated Embossing Folder and all tied up with a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Black Ink and the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set. I ran the sentiment though my dies cut machine with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies using the second largest die, then turning it 90 degrees & cutting it again.

The envelope is stamped with the flowers from the Sweetly Swirled Stamp Set.

#simplestamping with Sweetly Swirled

I am always excited when Tracy & I get together to have a crafting play date. And a bonus this time, we got to craft together on my birthday! This time Tracy is still in Washington and I have a permanent residence in North Carolina, so we get on the phone & with a little digital technology and a Private Pinterest board, we get to spend the day together crafting. These days are always so much fun, I love catching up with my dear friend & crafting the day away! The first thing we did today was gather all of the stamp sets that we both owned but we have not used together before, we had quite a few to choose from!

~Enjoy!


We like to start the day with a #simplestamping challenge to get the juices flowing. Today we started with the Sweetly Swirled Stamp set and a color challenge of Crushed Curry, Shaded Spruce and Crumb Cake. I like the simplicity of this card, clean & simple for sure!


I am a super fast crafter, so while Tracy was finishing up her first card, I was playing around with an all over background stamped piece. I had started with one version & then I saw where it was going and started over since this was #simplestamping & I could not add a layer for my sentiment. So I stamped my sentiment first, then layered it with removable tape & them stamped my random pattern right over the sentiment. When I pulled up the tape I had nice clean lines for my sentiment and partial stamped images!


Now, I am never one to leave #simplestamping card just as is, but I really liked the simplicity of this card, so I just added a few touches. I embossed the whole background with the Subtle Embossing Folder & then roughed up the edges of the card with my scissors. I added a bow from the Linen Thread & a few small rhinestones colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blends Marker.


For the allover background card, I trimmed it in half and used it in a smaller quantity. I added a Crumb Cake background embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder, then my layered stamped piece. I had a retired Decorative Label punch in my scraps, so I added that and topped it off with a Whisper White Bakers Twine bow that I colored with the Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. The sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake and hand trimmed fishtail ribbon. It needed a pop of bling, s I played with the new Ice Stampin' Glitter for the flower centers which I adhered with Shimmery Crystal Effects. Make sure to pop on over & see what Tracy has done with her cards
