NC Demos July 2025 Blog Hop is Big & Bold!

Hello and welcome to our NC Demos July Blog Hop. We are SO glad you are here! Be sure to hop all the way around and see what Tonya Bowers made to share. She hasn’t joined us in a while and we are glad she is back!

This month’s theme, Big & Bold, is about creating cards that feature greetings! Stampin’ Up! has some awesome large font greeting right now including Simple Congrats, Layered Thoughts, Simple Birthday, Sweet Blooms, Thanking You and many more! So we were supposed to pick a favorite and make the greeting the focal point of our card! We could use stamps to decorate your background, embossing folders and small dies to accent your greeting, but the greeting was to steal the show this month!

This awesome card design was part of our team mystery stamping this month and taught by Melissa Maines. I needed to make a special birthday card and I knew that this fancy fold would work great with the Simple Birthday stamp that I wanted use as part of my blog post this month. I love it when a plan comes together!

okay, I did use some DSP, ribbon and bling, but I do think the Happy Birthday is still the star of this card and I can’t wait to send it to someone super special!

Here are the dimensions and score lines so you can make you own card.
