Tower Calendar and Easel Calendar featured on January 3, 2020 Facebook Live

 

These two Calendars were featured on my Facebook Live from January 3rd

 

Tower Calendar

 

Supplies:
 
Stamps: Sentiments of choice (I chose some quotes I love and typed them out)
Cardstock:  Basic Black – 14 pieces; Two pieces cut to 8 ½” x 11” and 12 Pieces cut to 2 ½” x 3 ¼”
Designer Series Paper (DSP): Flower and Field (from Sale-a-Bration brochure) – 4 pieces cut to 3 ¾” x 10 ¾”
Accessories:  Adhesive of choice, Tear n’ Tape or Multi-purpose adhesive, Punch of choice which is big enough to accommodate the sentiment (I used the Label Me Lovely punch), Stampin’, Dimensionals, Gilded Gems (or any other bling you wish to use), Stampin’ Trimmer, small pad-type calendars (Mine measured 2 ¼” x 3”)
 
 
Directions: 

Place one of the 8 ½” x 11” pieces of Basic Black cardstock into the trimmer with the 8 ½” edge at the top.  Use the scoring blade to score the cardstock at 4” and 8”.  Repeat with the other 8 ½” x 11” piece of Basic Black cardstock.  Place Tear ‘n Tape or Multi-purpose adhesive along the ½” section created by scoring on the 8 ½” x 11” pieces of cardstock.  Adhere the two pieces together to form the tower.  Adhere the one of the 3 ¼” x 10 ¾” pieces of DSP to each of the panels of the tower.  Adhere one month of the calendar to each of the 12 pieces of 2 ½” x 3 ¼” of Basic Black cardstock.  Adhere three months on each panel in consecutive order (Jan, Feb, Mar on one panel, Apr, May, June on the next, etc.) Refer to the photo for placement.  Stamp and punch the sentiments you have selected and adhere them in the section that is left above the calendars using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Decorate with the Gilded Gems or any other desired embellishment.

Directions:

 Place the 4 ¼” x 11” piece of Basic Black cardstock into the trimmer with the 11” side at the top and score at 5 ½”, 8: and 10 ½”.  Set aside.  Adhere the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of DSP to the 4 5/8” x 5 3/8” piece Granny Apple Green Cardstock.  Adhere the 1 ¼” x 4” piece of DSP to the 1 ½” x 4” piece of DSP and then adhere the 2 ½” x 3 ¼” piece of DSP to the 2 ¾” x 3 ½” piece of Granny Apple Green.  Use the photo as a guide to adhere these pieces to the larger DSP/Granny Apple Green piece.  Adhere this whole piece to the 4” x 5 ½” section of the scored Basic Black Cardstock. Use the Playful Alphabet dies to cut the numbers 2021 from Bumblebee cardstock and use a ½” punch to punch the center for the Daisy from the Bumblebee cardstock  Use the Small Daisy punch to punch two Whisper White Daisies.  Assemble the Daisy with its center and adhere to the right side of the 1 ½” x 4” piece on the front of the calendar and then use adhesive of choice to adhere the numbers in the remaining space on that same piece.  Remove the self-adhesive strip from the calendar pad and place on the remaining section (see photo for placement)  Lay the whole piece of Basic Black cardstock out flat and place a strip of Tear ‘n Tape onto the ½” section at the bottom.  Remove the liner from the Tear ‘n Tape and fold the bottom sections to the back to form a base for the calendar.  If you wish to mail these, do not form the easel but leave flat for the recipient to assemble.
