2018 Calendar

December 15, 2017
I love the cover. It looks great in every color. I used all five 2017-19 In Colors for these covers. Be sure to use the coordinating inks when designing your cover.

My last class to wrap up 2017 is this beautiful 2018 Calendar. We made it in my classes this month and now I want to share it with those of you online who have been so patiently waiting to see the new calendar. In order to do this calendar on your own you would have to purchase at least 12 different stamp sets and dies. Some of the sets have already retired and you can no longer get them, so I decided I am going to be doing the calendar for 2019 a little differently. Those who are unable to attend my classes can play along all year and have a completed calendar at the beginning of 2019. Watch for a 2019 Calendar post as we get closer to January 2018.

The Powder Pink cardstock was cut to 10 x 7.
Attach the 3 x 10 designer series paper to the left side.
Glue a piece of 5 1/2 x 8 5/8 chipboard (that comes in the back of the foil papers) in the center of the Powder Pink.
Fold the sides around and trim the corners diagonally.
Fold the sides down and adhere them to the back.
Wrap a piece of ribbon down were the two papers meet.
Attach a piece of 5 3/8 x 8 1/2 Whisper White cardstock to the back of the cover.
Cut a doily from Eastern Medallions in Whisper White.
Cut the numbers from Large Numbers dies in Whisper White.
The flower is made with the Daisy Delight, stamped in Powder Pink on Powder Pink and punched with the Daisy Punch
Use the Blossom Bunch Punch or the Boho Blossom which are both retired.
To finish off put a Faceted Gem or a Metal Rimmed ears in the center of the flower.

Have fun stamping!

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

For this card I started out with the beautiful 2025-27 In Color Strawberry Slush. I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and die to cut the flowers. I added the beautiful Metallic Texture Rub Ons to add bling to the card. You will find all of these things in my Stampin' Up! store . Be sure to download the Free Project Sheet for all the measurements.

This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
