Hello and welcome to this month’s NC Demos Blog Hop!  We are SO glad you are here!  If you are starting with my post be sure to hop all the way around to not miss any of the projects including the fabulous one shared by Tonya Bowers!

This month’s theme is Shimmer & Shine!  We have SO many fabulous shiny products, from the Hot Foil System to metallic specialty paper, heat embossing to sparkly embellishments. It is hard to choose a favorite, so why try? We could use as many of these sparkly products as we liked to create any kind of project as long as it had lots of Shimmer & Shine!

So, I cold decide which card to share, so I am sharing two!  The first is one I created for the Sassy Stamper Monthly Club members using the Simply Leaves Bundle, the fabulous Buffalo Check Hot Foil Die and the oh, so shiny Copper Stampin’ Hot foil.  The die and foil will be available to customers this week and you definitely want to add this to your stampin’ stash!

Here are the basic measurements for this card:

  • Pecan Pie 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
  • Peaceful Pine 4 ¼” x 5 ½”, 4” x 5 ¼”
  • Very Vanilla 4” x 5 ¼”, 1” x 3”
  • Crumb Cake scrap

My second card is the one I created for our NC Demos Shoebox Swap yesterday using the All Wrapped Up Suite from the September to December Catalog and it will also be available this week!  I love this shiny fabulous DSP and the oh so lovely stamps and dies that coordinates beautifully together!

Here are the basic measurements for this card:

  • Real Red 8 1/2″ x 11″ and a scrap
  • Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ and a scrap
  • Secret Sea 3 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
  • All Wrapped Up DSP 4″ x 5 1/4″ and 3″ x 4″

 

Thank you SO much for letting me share my card with you!  I hope you will be inspired to create  your own Shimmer & Shine projects!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need to add any of the products I used to your crafting stash.  I would love to help you!

Now let’s hop on over to see what our friend, Toni Campana has to share!  I know it is gong to have lots of sparkle and be fabulous!

Stay Safe & Crafty!

    OOOOOHHHHH! So I had the buffalo check plate in my cart and removed it. Well, it’s going right back in. Love both of the cards, but especially the fall one!
