Just A Note Calendar

It's that time of year when I start to think of new calendars to make for gifts for my friends and family.  It has become somewhat of a tradition that a new calendar is given.  This year I'm using the Display Easel Die from Taylored Expressions as well as their mini calendars.

There will be twelve different flower panels, one for each month of the year, that can be displayed on the shelf.  The stamp set I used is the Flowers for a Year from Taylored Expressions.  I colored the image using Prismacolor Colored Pencils and Gamsol then cut it out using the Flowers for a Year Dies.  For the finishing touch, I added a few Iridescent Gems.

I've entered my calendar in the Just Us Girls "anything but a card" challenge.  For all the challenge details and to share your project, click the image below.

2018 Easel Calendar

As some of you may know, I always make new desk calendars each year for family and friends and give them as gifts at Christmas.  This year Taylored Expressions introduced the new Display Easel Dies and it's simply perfect for calendars.  They are so cute and so easy to put together.  I have lots of ideas for other ways to use the die but will share those as I make up the projects.  Something to look forward to in the new year.

The base was cut from Fresh Fig cardstock.  I cut the flowered label from The Playful Patterns - Harvest patterned paper from Taylored Expressions.  The mini calendars are from Taylored Expressions.  I have found hers to be the best and they are just the right size for the easel.  The stamp set I used is Colorful Seasons by Stampin' Up!

Although it is not easily seen in the photos, I didn't attach the flowered label.  With the little shelf, you could place one of your favorite photos and display it throughout the year or change it out as often as you like.

Today I'm entering my calendar in the "anything but a card" challenge from The Flower Challenge.  For all the challenge details and to share your project, click the image below.

Zachary Turned Nine!

Actually, he turned nine on February 4th but due to the nasty snowstorm we had, his birthday party was postponed until today.  When he saw the calendars I made for Christmas gifts for the adult men, his eyes lit up and he asked if he could have one.  Of course, Grandma said yes.  The last time I asked, he said his favorite color was blue so I'm going with that.  Seems like he has changed that favorite color a time or two so it is hard to keep up with him.

Stamp:  My Sentiments Exactly; Ink:  Tuxedo Black (Memento); Card Stock:  Marina Mist, Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper - retired, Neutrals Designer Series Paper Patterns Stack - retired (Stampin' Up!); Accessories & Tools:  Calendar (Taylored Expressions), Rhinestone

These take no time and all to make and they do make a nice little gift.  Okay, time to pack it up and head over for the cake and ice cream.  I know what his parents bought him and I can't wait to see his reaction.  It will be priceless!

Fresh Vintage

Getting up early has it advantages.  After making coffee, I sat down at my work table and decided to use up what was left from yesterday's design adventure.  This card can be used for Valentine's Day or for an anniversary or a thinking of you card.  Again, I clear embossed the sentiment on the inside of the card.  I used the "You're in my thoughts; You're in my heart" from Word Play.  I love the way the clear emboss deepens the card stock color.  On the Soft Suede, it turns into a rich chocolate brown.

Stamp Sets:  Fresh Vintage, Word Play; Ink:  Soft Suede; Card Stock:  Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Red Glimmer Paper; Accessories:  3/8" Very Vanilla Velvet Ribbon, Antique Brad, Jewels Basic Pearls, Framelits Hearts Collection, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots

Fresh Vintage is featured in the new Sale-A-Bration Catalog.  For the first time ever, Stampin' Up!® allowed demonstrators to get Sale-A-Bration products early.  This card uses one of the items you can receive as part of the Hostess Bundle.  So, schedule your Workshop during Sale-A-Bration. Host a $400 Workshop during Sale-A-Bration and you'll receive the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set, Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper and Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack. Plus, you'll receive a free tote, a 1/2 price item and $65 in free product.  Oh, and you can select one product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog for every $50 you spend.  What a great time to be a Hostess!
