·
Using
the Days to Remember Stamp Set, stamp in Black Memento Ink all of your calendar
months, and using the other Ink colors stamp out the months names in different
colors.
·
With
the Create with Friends Stamp Set and Flirty Flamingo Ink stamp “create” on
your Tailored Tag Diecut. And the words “you’re” & “best” in Granny Apple
Green & Bermuda Bay ink on the leftovers of your 4’x 3’ Basic Whites Card

On
your Flirty Flamingo Base attach with Stampin’ Seal the DSP you chose as the bottom layer, and on
the Basic White Card Stock 4 ¼’ x 5 ½’ Piece attach with Stampin’ Seal the other DSP
you chose.
·
Attach
with Tear ‘n’ Tape to the easel front, your Basic White 4 ¼’ x 5 ½’ DSP layered
piece. This is going to be the front of the stand. I used my calendar cut outs
as a marker for where I wanted to attach down my post its, by placing them in
the back pocket created by the easel front. I used the width to know where to
stick down my mini post it stack with Tear ‘n’ Tape, they now act as a stopper
for your easel front. And all your calendar months are tucked away safely in
the back for storage & ease of changing out monthly. 😊
·
Next
Determine where your tag will sit at the front and make sure you have enough
room for your monthly calendar. Attach the tag down with Stampin’ Seal.
·
With
dimensionals on the back of your Rainbow cut out apply that to the front where
you like it, also attach with dimensionals your fussy cut words.
·
Tie
a bow with the Flirty Flamingo Metallic Ribbon, with a glue dot attach over the
hole of the tag die cut.
·
Lastly,
with a glue dot attach your Cleaver Clasp or make a hole for your Brad to hang
your calendar months off.
Your extra months can tuck in behind, ready to change out month after month :)
Again HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I will see you all soon.
Cheers & Paper Hugs,
Shanna
