Stampin’ Up! Mini Calendar Project – And a Giveaway!
How is this possible?
I’m sure 2015 only just got going, and now it’s over.
It takes me longer each year to get the hang of writing the year. Know what I mean? I’ll be signing 2015 right through until May…. Crazy, huh?
Well, I have a little project to share today before we get the champers ready for some Pop Fizz Clink. And a giveaway!
MINI CALENDAR PROJECT
We love getting our mini calendar projects made each year. They make such a cute and economical gift.
This one uses the Lots of Labels framelits to cut out a nice sturdy base from Coaster Board. It’s decorated with some lovely patterned paper and the Spiral Flower die.
Um… back up a minute. Coaster Board?
What is that!
You can find it on page 148 of the annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue or right here in my shop. It’s a fabulous sturdy medium and the perfect thing for this project.
My calendar has a magnet on the back and will be up on my fridge all year so I really need a nice firm base so it doesn’t flop after a few months. Coaster board is thinner than chipboard, but sturdier than cardstock. Perfect!
HAPPY NEW YEAR GIVEAWAY
Want to make one of these for yourself?
I have three kits here to giveaway! Wooohooo.
To be in the running, just leave a comment below or on my Facebook page and make sure you’ve liked my FB page. I’ll be announcing the winners over there and will contact them (maybe you?) via Facebook.
Still looking for ways to use up your leftover calendars? Check out the fun tutorial I shared in 2014. It shows you how to making a standing calendar from a folded card, and uses an envelope to make a 3D pocket on the back! That tutorial is HERE.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year. Stay happy and safe, and I hope all your dreams for the coming year actually come true!
