AN EASEL CALENDAR FOR THE NEW YEAR

I've enjoyed making lots of calendars and decided to go with an easel style for 2021.  I love all the colors in our new Hydrangea Hill Suite, so decided to go with some luscious purples for this project.  

The top layer is just a 1/4 sheet of CS.  It's attached as shown.  When you fold it flat, it's just a regular card size and fits in an envelope, if you choose to mail it to a friend.

The vellum adds an extra element of texture.  The little clips are just for fun.

I started with a half sheet of CS - 8 1/2 X 11" and scored it at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2" and folded it as shown in the photo.

I have a quick and easy card for you coming up next.  Be sure to come back to check it out. 

Happy Stamping!

My 2020 Calendar

I was sad when 2019 ended for my Paper Pumpkin calendar.  I purchased new little calendars and soon realized that I could actually my new pages over the old calendar pages and still enjoy using it on my fridge.  It has magnets on the back of the top piece.  I just love the text:  "Each day is a fresh start."  That's a wonderful saying.
By the way, my word for the year for 2019 was JOY.  For 2020, I chose DETERMINED.  I think it's the perfect word for me right now.
Here's what I made ... and I did it using all UFO's from my UFO drawer.  UFO's are 'unfinished objects' and I had a lot of them:)

Bonus Days ... And ... Another Paper Pumpkin Project ... And More About A Paper Pumpkin Class

Happy July and Happy July Bonus Days!  For every $50.00 you spend, you earn an extra $5.00 Bonus Points to spend in August.  Of course, my customers will also earn a token from me for that $50.00 so it's really a bonus.  Have fun!

Before I share today's project, I want to remind you to sign up by July 10 if you'd like to get the July Paper Pumpkin kit.  It's going to do a little coordinating with our Come Sail Away Suite in our new Annual Catalog.  Sounds like fun to me!
Now, for today's project:
As I was turning my Paper Pumpkin calendar to the new July page, I realized that I'd never shared this project with you.  I was delighted to find that our New Year started with a calendar project.  I added magnets to the back of the top of mine and have it hanging on the fridge in my studio.

I kept mine very simple, with the only stamping being a very inspiring quote that has meant a lot to me.  I placed several strong disc magnets on the back of the top so it can hang on the fridge.

I've had a couple more customers sign up for Paper Pumpkin recently, so be thinking about when would be a good time to get together and work on our kits.  We can start in July if we can come up with a good time to do it.  I just found out that Joey has the afternoon session of Pre-K, so I will have Joey in the mornings, and we could actually have an afternoon class while he's in school, if you'd rather meet then instead of an evening.  Let me know your thoughts.

UPDATES ON WHAT'S NEXT: 

July 8 -- Scraps and Prayers / 5:30-7:30 / $18. REGISTRATION CLOSES TONIGHT.

One remaining spot.
We'll be making some more beautiful cards and enjoying using some fun, new products.  We'll be working with White Craft Ink and I'll have a couple of really fun ways to use the Stamparatus to share with you, as well as a new fun fold card design.   I hope you can join us.

 
July 10 --

2017 Scriptures Calendar, Part Five

Today, I'm sharing the final pages of my Scriptures Calendar project.

I cut the string of little dragonflies out of vellum and sponged the back of them, to add color.  I heat set the sponged side, attached the dragonflies to my calendar page and then added Wink of Stella to them.

The beautiful snowglakes are cut from white glimmer paper.

I had one more favorite prayer that I wanted to include in my project.  I decided that it would be perfect for the final page.

This was a fun project and now I can enjoy it all year.

2017 Scriptures Calendar, Part Four

Here we go with 3 more pages from my Scriptures Calendar.  I hope I'm inspiring you to try a project like this one.

The angel is a Tim Holtz die cut.  I wanted/needed something like this for the August page and this one worked great.  I sponged over the angel, added gold to her horn and white shimmer to her wing.

Believe it or not, the September page is the only page where I used stamping.  It's difficult to see, but I have a lot of mountains in the background.

Be sure to come back for my next post and see how I wrap up my sharing this project with you.

2017 Scriptures Calendar, Part Three

Here are 3 more pages from my Scriptures Calendar for you to enjoy.

Once again, I enjoyed adding some die cuts to each page.  A lot of these had just arrived (in that wonderful brown truck:) so I enjoyed trying them out right away. They're all from our 2017 Spring Occasions Catalog.

All the scriptures are typed onto vellum CS and then wrapped around the back of the page to attach them.
Tip:
Never put adhesive directly onto vellum to attach it to your project.  It will show and ruin the entire look of your project.     

We're still not finished, so you'd better check back in for my next post.

On these 3 pages, I enjoyed adding some die cuts.  

I painted my formerly red stand to coordinate with my 'revamped' studio.

2017 Scriptures Calendar, Part One

This year, I decided I wanted to make a Scriptures Calendar using our gorgeous Falling In Love, DSP.  I keep my calendar on my desk to inspire me each day as I prepare for my day's activities.  I chose some of my favorite scriptures for each page.

I began with a favorite prayer and quote.  They are quite inspirational.

... and then I began adding a page for each month.

In my next post, I'll share a few more pages.
