NC Demos July 2022 Blog Hop – Let’s Celebrate the Great Outdoors!

Thank you SO much for stopping by our NC Demos monthly Blog Hop!  We are so glad you are here!  Did you get a chance to see what Amanda Howard is sharing this month?  If not, be sure to hop all the way around and check it out!  I know it is great!

It’s Summer and time to be outside! So, this month we are using all the fantastic Stampin’ Up! products to celebrate the Great Outdoors!

Our project could be celebrate anything from the beach to the mountains, flowers to trees and ANYTHING in between! We just had to be sure to use stamp sets, punches, dies, etc..to create a project with an outdoor theme.

My Terrific Techies hostess club have been working on a cute calendar project this year and I decided I would share the September page we made this month..  It was inspired by a picture my friend, Cherilyn, shared with me during their recent visit to Raleigh.  Her family enjoyed a day at the Dor0thea Dix Park while the sunflowers were blooming.  It was just a bright and cheerful picture and I wanted to share that with my Techies group.

This was one of the more simple pages we have created and once you prep everything it goes together very quickly.

The measurements for this page are:

• Old Olive 3 3/4 x 5
• Basic Black 2 3/4 x 2 3/4
• Frayed Ribbon 4 inches
• Baker’s Twine 10 inches

I just used a scrap of Basic White to die cut out the sunflower and Preadolescent Specialty to cut the sprigs.

I started by cutting my cardstock, ribbon and twine.

I then embossed the Old Olive cardstock using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

Next, I die cut my sunflower and the sprigs.

I used template method to stamp the sunflower in Memento ink and then colored it using Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blends.

I attached the ribbon and baker’s twine to my sunflower using Tear & Tape.

Now it was time to put it all together! I decided where everything was going to go on my page and then attached the sprigs using Glue Dots.

Next, I attached my mini calendar to the Basic Black square using just a touch of Multipurpose Glue and then added this piece to the Old Olive base using Dimensionals.

Finally I attached my sunflower using Dimensionls.
