January Calendar: Dreamy Skaters…

 This is a class I offered in January and I’m just getting around to posting it. Back in January when all calendars were on sale, I purchased some with this stamping project in mind. I had the hangers and decided to use them on this continuing calendar class. Every month we make the nexy two month’s calendars. Each calendar shares one sheet of card stock; one month appears on the front and another month appears on the back.  Here’s January’s calendar.

January 2009

RECIPE:

Stamp Sets:           To You and Yours

                                 Party Hearty (New Year’s Day Hat)

                                 Season of Friendship (Snowflake)

                                 Winter Post

Ink:                         Baja Breeze

                                 Chocolate Chip

                                 Versa Mark

Paper                      Whisper White (8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″) and  (7″ x 2-1/4″)

                                 Baja Breeze (7″ x 2-1/4″)

                                 Chocolate Chip (8″ x 8″)

Accessories:          White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Dazzling Diamonds, Photo Corner Punch

HERE’S WHAT I DID:

 

Depending on the size of the calendar you are using you need to cut all your papers accordingly . I my case I trimmed my calendar  to 5″ x 7″ and planned all my layers around that measurement. Since I was hanging my calendar pages on a hanger, I wasn’t constricted to a frame size.

 

I stamped the house and snowflakes in VersaMark, covered them with white embossing powder and heated them.

 

Then I tore the strip of Whisper White to resemble a snow covered hill.

 

I adhered the Whisper White to the Baja Breeze.

 

Using the Two Way Glue I dabbed streaks on the hill and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds.

 

After stamping the skaters on a scrap piece of Whisper White I cut them out and I placed them on the hill using Dimensionals.

I then stamped the deer  directly onto the hill.

 

I Photo cut two corners out of Baja Breeze and assembled the calendar as shown.
