Last week I got this honor. So of course I had to play along again this week. Watch for my guest appearance on the What Would You Stamp Blog? Challenge in a couple of weeks.
Now I would like to share a project I adapted from this post for week #2 from the What Would You Stamp? Challenge blog using the stamp set Best Day Ever from the FREE Sale-A-Bration selections.
The minute I saw what set was announced for the What Would You Stamp? challenge blog I knew what I was going to create because I had just shared with my Coffee Class Ladies, on Friday morning, a project similar to my previous post and I still had calendars left over.
Here is my entry to the Best Day Ever Stamp Challenge:
I knew I had to do a little more stamping on mine to really get some good use out of that set. I stamped three rows of images starting with the random dots in Crushed Curry then a row of the "flower" or "pinwheel" design in Calypso Coral then finishing it out with a row of Coastal Cabana hearts.
The Best Year Ever Paper coordinates perfectly so I had to do a few flags. I finished it all off with the greeting Best. Day. Ever. It was easy to do because I cut the words apart. It is a FREE set and I had 2, therefore one to cut apart! YaY!
A few tips on the construction of this desktop calendar. Use half of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock cut long ways and folded in half (4 2/5 x 11) then using a 4 2/5 x 5" pieces of matching cardstock score on the long side at 1", 2 1/2" and 4" and fold into a "W" adhere inside the folded card to make your stand. Use Sticky Strip or Fast Fuse to adhere. Decorate as desired.
Are those the absolute dirties blocks ever? Sorry it's just who I am!
OH OH OH! I have to share a story with you! My customers know that I am not the most meticulous in the cleaning of my stamps. (and they still like me go figure) I love my stamps and they work just great and so I am often seen cleaning them off on my jeans. (and yes I may have been known to lick one or two, get over it, I just want to prove the ink is non-toxic) My daughter wanted to make one of the projects leftover from Friday's class and she started to wipe the stamps on her jeans. That was a mother-daughter high five moment. She's so my daughter.
Back to the project. I finished off the calendar card with a selection of colored pearls to highlight the Best. Day. EVAH! :)
I thought this would make a fun birthday card for a special lady in my life who's birthday is this Saturday. I stamped her birth date with the little heart in the set to highlight her special day. It's my Mother-In-Law Judy. (aka Mom) Happy early Birthday Mom! I love you! You may or may not get this card in the mail...(she knows me well after 30 years)
