NC Demos Blog Hop – Shake Off the Winter Blues!

Hello and welcome to our February NC Demos Blog Hop! Thanks for stopping by to check us out this month. You may have found me by hopping over from Kelly Taranto – The Late Night Stamper’s post. I know she shared a fun project. I love seeing what she has to share each month. If you started with me, please be sure to check out everyone in the hop this month 🙂

Our challenge this month was to create cheerful, bright projects full of flowers, birds, butterflies, and ladybugs. Anything that makes us think of Spring! I knew that I wanted to use the new Easter Basket Bundle for my project. Note: the stamp set is currently unavailable until the week of 3/2. I was inspired by the daffodils that have been popping up in our backyard over the last several days. There’s no better sign of Spring than the flowers making their entrance!

I opted to just use the Daffodil and grass dies from the bundle. I’ll get to the basket and bunnies when I start making my Easter cards 😉

The daffodils were fun to assemble. I had several scraps of Granny Apple Green, along with Darling Duckling so I just grabbed them to use for this card.

My other go-to was the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I really love the multiple sizes of the circles, there’s so much versatility to that die set.

I also wanted to use a little bit of the Peach Pie color, since that will be retiring soon! We’ll be replacing the 2024-2026 In Colors with a fresh selection in the next new catalog. So if you need to re-stock any of the colors below, grab them now before they are gone!

I created a tutorial for my card, if you are interested. You can download it HERE.

I hope my peek into Spring has helped you shake off those winter blues! Please continue on through to hop for more inspiration. Laurie Meier is up next and I know she has a great project to share.
