Welcome to my Corner of the World

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, Fireworks for the Fourth!!

• Base Card: 5 1/2 x 4 Blueberry Bushel Card
• Calendar Layer : 5 x 3 1/2 Basic White Card
• 1st Layer: 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 Poppy Parade Card
• 2nd Layer: 3 x 2 Iconic Celebrations Decorative Paper Pack
• Ink Color: Blueberry Bushel

My number 4 is cut using the Alphabet a’ la Mode Dies (available from Stampin’ UP!) and the stars are using a long retired punch with some scraps of long retired glimmer paper.

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: 11 x 4 1/4 Blueberry Bushel Card ~ scored @ 2 3/4 & 5 1/2
• 2nd Layer : 4 x 2 1/2 Iconic Celebrations Decorative Paper Pack
• 3rd Layer: 3 1/2 x 2 1.2 Blueberry Bushel Card
• 4th Layer : 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 Poppy Parade Card
• 5th Layer: 3 x 2 Iconic Celebrations Decorative Paper Pack
• Ink Color: Blueberry Bushel

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. Don’t forget to be a subscriber on the blog by clicking the blue follow button on the top right and my You Tube Channel so that you get all the projects.

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. 🙂 Please note that I am not endorsing any particular products nor am I being compensated for using them. I am sharing an idea and hope that you will be able to use products from your own stash to create a similar card 🙂
