Mini Calendar Project for Stamp Classes this Week!

So I try to make a calendar project each year, usually in January, for our class project. But I had a request to do it in December (probably a good idea, especially if you want to give them for gifts), so here we go! We have made so many different calendar projects over the years - and that makes it harder to find a new or original idea (or heaven forbid, create my own?!). And after many searches, I figured this out (with a little help from Carrie Rhoades) ~

We'll be using a 5-3/4" x 12" piece of Basic Black Cardstock for our base - and I Love this!! Just a few score lines and easy cuts - then fold and assemble!

And add just a little piece of Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper (1" x 3-3/4") sets off the black background underneath the calendar.

And then when you flip it around to the backside - this super cute, and useful pocket, with a little bit (1-3/4" x 3-1/2") of the same DSP on it, for a post-it notepad and mini gel pen!

I hope you will be coming to class this week to make this with us!

Thanks for stopping by,

Julie B

Creation Station Blog Hop - '2017-2019 In Color'

Welcome to this month's Creation Station Blog Hop, where we are highlighting the 2017-2019 In Colors! I really do Love them all, but I decided to make a card using Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide.

I used the Ribbons of Courage stamp set and the coordinating Support Ribbon Framelits. I received the Ribbon of Courage set as a gift at the last OnStage Local event. At first the framelits weren't a huge 'must-have' when I saw them - and then I noticed the open flower and leaf - LOVE!!

I used touches of silver throughout the card - the new Metallic-Edge Ribbon, a layer of Silver Foil between the Whisper White layers, and the new Clear Faceted Gems (which I think look silver!).
