Calendar 2019

Hello again,

This will be my second attempt at posting this as blogger decided to be unfriendly the other day and it froze on me, so here goes again....

After making several friends calendars as small gifts one year for Christmas, it has become somewhat of a tradition, last year I made owl calendars in various colours ensuring they fit inside and A5 envelope, I came across a Split Coast Stampers calendar tutorial and saved it to use this year and having already purchased the tiny calendars followed the directions to make them free standing using C7 card blanks. Two are upright tent fold cards and the other two horizontal and as a bonus they will still fit in the regular envelopes for posting...

I have used the same daisy stamp from Stamp-It Australia heat embossing in silver and black, colouring and painting in the colours with Prismacolor watercolour pencils in purples, pinks, yellow and red. When I added the calendar tabs to the two landscape cards both tore the calendar off at December which was a pain quickly rectified by stapling the rest back on. 

Here are the calendars:- Apologies, I couldn't get them to fit in two by two so one pic of each with an extra showing the prop inside the card.

What I used:-

White C7 card blanks (vertical card 12.4x17.4cm) horizontal (12.6x17.8cm)

Pink, mauve, yellow and white card stock (scrap box)
