February Calendar

Supplies: Stamps: Savvy Paper: red and white cardstock  Ink: Versamark  Accessories: detail white embossing powder, SU border punch, gingham ribbon, computer generated calendar, Martha Stewart scallop heart punch, solid heart created and cut out on Silhouette Cameo, self adhesive gems, SU embossing folder, red DMC floss

 



Hi!  These calendars are so fun to make.  When I sat down to make the February calendar, I used this card as inspiration. I thought it would be easy, peasy!  Ha!  It was difficult finding the scallop heart in such a tiny size.  I ended up using a scallop Martha Stewart heart punch, but then I had to create a heart cut out for the solid heart!  An hour later...I had my hearts figured out.  After that things fell into place.  Thank you for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

Supplies: Stamps: Stampin Up Gift Givers Paper: SU silver glitter paper, white cardstock  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Accessories: copic markers, liquid applique, heat gun, computer generated calendar, Lawn Fawn stitched die cuts

 

Hello All!  I hope everyone had a delightful holiday season and are ready to tackle the New Year.  I was cruising through my blog and noticing how little I posted last year.  Yikes!  And I found these little calendars I used to make.  I was up for a project last night, and went for it.  I have always thought the little girl in this stamp set was just adorable.  So I stamped, colored, and cut her out.  Then I got out the snow scene die cuts and started to arrange them to create a snowy scene.  After that I added some liquid applique to her hat and to create some snow.  I computer generated a calendar, and added it to the glitter paper.  I have to say the sparkle in Stampin Up's glitter paper is so wonderful.  I have bought other glitter papers, but this one just seems to shine and sparkle more. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Let the School Year Begin...

Supplies: Accessories: Computer generated calendar, quickutz crayon die cut, computer generated lines for the crayon box, cardstock, font for calendar CK journaling, calendar case

It's time to get back to work for me, and start the countdown 'til next summer!  To get back into the school frame of mind I made my September calendar into a crayon box.  I used Microsoft word to create the triangle and lines of the crayon box and printed it onto my cardstock with my calendar.  I have recieved some inquiries about how I make my calendars so I am going to post a quick little tutorial here.  First I computer generate the calendar in a text box (size 2.13x3.5) on Microsoft Word, and print it out onto computer paper.

Then I take double sided removable tape and put it on top of the printed calendar.

I cut a piece of cardstock 2 1/8 x 3 1/2 and put it on top of the removable tape.

Then before I print the calendar I go edit my text box to remove the border.  I do this so if I don't line up my cardstock correctly the lines of the text box are not printed on my final project.

Here is what is looks like printed:

And peeled off of the removable tape.

From here you can decorate the calendar. 

I have been trying to find a way to share the calendar that I created online, but haven't been successful.  If you know of a way for me to do this I would love for you to share.  Until then send me an email and I can email you any of the calendars I have created.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful long Labor Day weekend!

Where Did July Go????

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous  Paper: SU riding hood red, blue cs unknown, white Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: Martha star punch, SU scallop circle punch, 1 3/8 inch circle punch, clear gems, red gems, I colored the blue gems with a copic markers, calendar case

Wow, where is our summer going?!  I missed July, and now we are halfway through August!  Before you know it I'll be back into my busy school routine.  We have gotten a lot of projects done this summer which is probably why it seems like summer is flying by, but it is great to have accomplished so much.  During the school  year I I don't have a lot of extra time, and if I do I of course want to spend it stamping! :)

For the July calendar I used the positive and negative space of a Martha Stewart star punch.  I punched the star punch, then cut it out with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch.  I matted it onto a starburst that I made using the SU scallop punch.  I punched out the scallop circle, attached it to a post it note, and I lined it up in the scallop circle again inside the punch turning it so the points of the scallops were in the center of my scallops and I punched it.  This created a nice starburst look.  I added lots of gems, and the red stars are from the MS punch as well.

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous, Amuse  Paper: X press it white and pink scraps  Ink: Memento tuxedo black  Accessories: SU scallop border punch, copic markers, stamp a ma jig, calendar case

Isn't that bumblebee just adorable?!  Stampendous really makes cute bee stamps!  For the sentiment I stamped each line separate because it was too long to fit onto the calendar.  So I relied heavily on my stamp a ma jig for this.  I would hold my breath each time I stamped a line hoping I applied even pressure because I already had my calendar printed and image colored!  It was my lucky day I got it on the first try.

Well I'm caught up with my calendars, and have made a few more so I am ready as those months creep up on me! :)  Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome June

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous  Paper: colormates light and medium awesome aqua, su yellow, white  Ink: memento tuxedo black  Accessories: queen and co white brads, baker's twine, sizzix sun die cut, 1 1/4 inch circle punch, copic markers

Summer is almost here...our weather here has been crazy!  Cool, then 90 degrees, cool, then 90 degrees.  So we'll see what Mother Nature's plan is as we get closer to summer. 

Can you tell I had some scraps left over and stamps to put away from a recent card?!  HA!  I have to admit it was convenient having all of the supplies at hand.  Although I did have to go digging for the sizzix die cut! 
Not much to explain on this, pretty simple project.  As I was making this calendar I was trying to think of what I am going to do with them as the month is complete.  I think I am going to start a little scrapbook using these calendars.  I thought I could journal the highlights of the month.  No pictures or anything just a small 6x6 or 8x8 album.  Now that I said it, I better do it! :)
Thanks for stopping by!   

May Calendar

Stamps: Judith Paper: cardstock from scraps  Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: dotted scallop ribbon trim border punch, circle punches, copic markers, modern label punch, eyelets

A month has passed by already, I can't believe it!  These little calendars are just too fun to make.  My inspiration for this calendar was that it is my birthday month! So thought I would select one of my favorite images.  I love turtle stamps they are soo cute, and this is one of my favorite turtle images.  I added the border strip at the bottom of the image, and allowed the circle to extend off of the calendar base.  I also had to extended the modern label punch by cutting it into two pieces. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!



April Calendar

Supplies: Stamps: Stampendous and Printworks Paper: light yellow, lavendar, and white cardstock Ink: Memento tuxedo black Accessories: copic markers, 1/8" satin lavendar ribbon, ek success border punch, Martha Stewart anywhere drill hole punch, Marvy scallop oval punch, ek success whale of a punch circle, paper piercer, calendar case

So a few posts ago I mentioned I went to a scrapbook store when we had our taxes done. While I was there they had these cute little calendar cases, and mini calendars made up that were just adorable! I computer generated the calendar, added a little chocolate bunny clip art under Easter Day, and printed it on light yellow cardstock. I punched out the bottom lavendar portion and stamped Happy Easter using my stamp a ma jig. I colored my focal image with copic markers, punched it out with my circle punch, and layered it with the scallop circle that I pierced. I wanted to add some ribbon so I used the stay put bow to attach some tiny lavendar ribbon. This was a fun project to make. The completed calendar measures about 2 1/8 x 3 1/2. I will have to start thinking about May!
