Hello Crafters
A very Happy New Year to you all.
It is time for a new challenge over at
Crafty Calendar and this month our theme is What's New? This gives you so many options - new stash, new job, new baby to name but a few.
Our sponsor for this challenge is
High Hopes Rubber Stamps and they are offering the winner the fabulous prize of 2 unmounted rubber stamps of their choice.
I have made a calendar for our challenge this month, which is also a Thank You for Christmas gifts.
I used a 6" x 6" card blank onto which I matted some deep pink Core dinations card stock. I matted onto this some patterned paper from Creative Crafting World.
I used the beautiful
Nautical Wheeler Doily Die from Cheery Lynn Designs, which I cut from pale blue glitter card. I cut the small centre die into four equal sections which I added to each of the corners and then added a blue crystal gem to each corner.
I added the main doily die to the centre and then added a die-cut butterly to the centre of the doily. The butterly was cut from the same core dinations card and I then handcut a plain butterfly from the glitter card for extra detail. Blue crystal gems were then added to the butterfly.
The Happy New Year sentiment was cut using Tattered Lace dies, and then matted onto a decorative mat cut using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8.
For the base of the calendar, I cut a larger decorative label from the same set to which I attached the calendar tab. I made a cover for the calendar again die cut from the same label die. The sentiment was again cut using Tattered Lace dies. This was attached to the card using foam pads to form a stopper for the upper part of the calendar.
I then cut the border from the glittered card using the stunning
