Desktop Calendar #2 - Stamping Escape

Where does the time go?  It's the age old question isn't it.  The time just flew since I held the second half of the desktop calendar class back in November.  Here are the remaining 6 calendar pages.  


No stamps on this one.  The star punch is from the Mery Minis punch pack.  I used the 1" square punch and 1/4" strips of Cherry Cobbler card stock, spaced out 1/4" on a rectangle of Whisper White card stock.  The little bit of bling is given by the rectangle of Silver Glimmer paper.


Stamp set: Postage Due
ink colors are Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sky; 
card stock colors are Tempting Turquoise, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White


Stamp set: Lovely as a Tree
ink colors are Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Soft Suede

The background was made using a 'D' clear block and coloring onto it using Stampin' Write Markers then misting with the Stampin' Spritzer

The center pumpkin is made by attaching a piece of Whisper White card stock onto a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive sheet, punching it out with a 1" circle punch and attaching to the image using Multi-Purpose glue, then removing remaining side of protective cover and sprinkling orange glitter over it.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
