Welcome to my Corner of the World

I am not entirely sure where January went – I just know it is now the 2nd of February and yesterday I became the great aunt for another baby girl in the family!!!

For the last 4 – 5 years I have designed and enjoyed making my flip over desk calendar for the ladies who came to my classes.  As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. Like last year, I recognize not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

So today I share, Valentine Hearts

• Base Card: 5 1/2 x 4 Moody Mauve Card
• Calendar Layer : 5 x 3 1/2 Basic White Card
• Decorative Paper: 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 Iconic Celebrations
• Ink Color: Moody Mauve

The greeting is from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set from Stampin’ UP! cut with a 1 3/4 circle punch. I dug out a cute little heart punch from my stash along with some Glimmer Paper scraps for my heart decorations.

As I work thru the year some of the products used might have retired, however you may have them in your stash or find a suitable alternative, either way enjoy 🙂

The calendar part is made using the Days to Remember Stamp Set ~ which is cleverly designed to cover all the months of the year. I have a video on how I used it to create my calendar. Check out how I did this

• Card Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Moody Mauve Card ~ scored @ 4 1/4
• 2nd Layer : 5 1/4 x 4 Basic White Card ~ run thru Cut & Emboss Machine with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder
• 3rd Layer: 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 Moody Mauve Card
• 4th Layer : 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 Iconic Celebrations Decorative Paper
• Ink Color: Moody Mauve

My greeting and heart embellishments are the same as the calendar but I added a scattering of Basic Rhinestone Jewels and some of the pretty 1/4 white diagonal trim. You can check out how I add my ribbon and faux knot video.

I hope you enjoyed the calendar and card I shared with you today, I love what I do and spend many hours working on designs, new projects, new ideas and much more.

As I have now retired as a Stampin Up Demonstrator I will know longer be sharing links to the supplies, however there are lots of wonderful demonstrators around the world who would be glad to help you with finding them. 🙂
