It is a direct case of her project so please go to her blog for all the info regarding this project.

I hope you will try this! It was a big hit with the class and was fun to create as well.

Everyone's was different but the same if you know what I mean.

Calendars #4

 I tried my hand at designing......I made a drawer for a post-it note pad with a decorative easel on top; it had a few designer flaws but all in all it worked. LOL

I wanted to create something with a calendar and a note pad so I created a box bottom that fit the standard 3x3 post-it note pads and wrapped it with a strip of card stock and coordinating DSP; creating a drawer. We put a brad in the front of the drawer to make a drawer pull or knob.

I next used a strip of cardstock that was twice as long as the depth of the box and scored it in the center and again in the center of one of the halves again to create the easel. This was glued to the inside of the top of the sleeve that holds the drawer.

A calendar was attached to the top of the sleeve, close to the front to create the stop for the easel.

Supplies used for this were:

Stamp set: You Are Loved ( Holiday Mini 2011)

Paper: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Pacific Point, Timeless Portrait DSP

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Pacific Point

Accessories: Decorative Label punch, Basic Pearls, Post-it note pad, Simply Score-it, Neutrals Brads

I like how it turned out and maybe the addition of a small pen would make this complete. It makes a great, useful gift!

I have one more calendar to share that completes the class so check back in a day or so for info about it.

Hope you are getting your holiday activities and projects finished. True to form for me I am working on things right up until the last minute.

Back to work!

Calendar #3

 Bookmark calendar.....

with this book mark you will always have a calendar close by. I printed the calendar from Sudsol, an online demo group I belong to, and trimmed them up to 1/4 inch shy of the measurements to fit in the vinyl bookmark holders. 

I used the Field Flowers set to stamp a second generation image, stamp off once, in Riding Hood Red and Pear Pizzazz inks. This was then glued onto a piece of match/coordinating card stock and slipped into book the vinyl sleeve, a coordinating tassel was added to the top and Voila! a quick and useful gift.

Calendar #2

A simple coaster calendar! We used DSP of the student's choice from the DSP stacks( the sample was created with a retired paper) The DSP was glued onto the 4"x4" coaster with the SU glue sticks the edges were then sanded to take down the edges; then they were sponged with ink to match the paper. The calendar was glued to a piece of c ardstock that coordinated with the DSP and the bottom edge was punched with the Pinking Hearts border punch. A carnation was created from 3 scallop circle punches that were distressed until the layers separated, they were then layered with a brad in the center. The sentiment on the calendar is from Fabulous Florets. A magnet was glued to the back of the coaster and Voila! a great gift or calendar for your fridge.

Thanks for coming by.

Calendar Class

 These are the projects we created in the calendar class I had last week. It was a fun class. We made 5 projects in 3 hours.

The first project is a purse calendar/agenda. I used the Pool Party cardstock and DSP from the In-Color paperstack. We ran the  card stock through the Big Shot with the Stripes embossing folder. The sentiment is from the Butterfly Prints set this was punched with the large oval and placed on a decorative label punch. Matching ribbon hides the seam of the two papers and it is decorated with a strip of pearls from the basic pearls. Tiny butterflies from the Beautiful Wings embosslit decorate the DSP. Very simple but pretty too.

Come back for more, soon.

Two Step Bird Calendar

Just another calendar that I made using an acrylic frame and the two step bird punch.

Colors are Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo.

The DSP is retired from last year's Occaisions mini.

Nothing fancy just simple and cute!

Have a great week!

Calendar Post-its

 These were quick gifts I made for everyone at Christmas and I will be doing a few more too. Very easy to do using acrylic picture frames, DSP and some ribbon.

 I used Greenhouse Gala DSP for these along with the  Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz ribbons

The DSP for this one is from the Autumn Spice DSP pk that was in the Holiday Mini catalogue. 

I attached a small calendar and a post it note pad to each frame with some sticky strip

Using an RSVP pen I inserted some co-ordinating DSP into the pen

This makes a quick and usable gift.



Thanks for stopping by.
