Fancy Flora Calendars

Hi Friends!!!!

I've been meaning to post about these cute calendars for quite some time now!!

And... it's FINALLY time!!

I made these as club member treats and also sent them to all of my team members, the Inkspired Stampers :).

I really wanted to feature the new Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper on these calendars, and I'm so happy I did!! You can see three different patters of this gorgeous DSP on the calendars here.

I think the calendars turned out beautifully. And I hope you agree :).

I started with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Orchid Oasis card stock and scored it at 5 1/2".

Next, I stamped a couple of flowers in Orchid Oasis ink using the Color &
Contour Stamp Set.

Then, I adhered a 4 1/4" x 3" piece of the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper to the bottom of this piece.

Next, I cut another Orchid Oasis piece of card stock to 4 1/4" x 5" and scored it at 1", 2 1/2" and 4". This piece creates the inside "stand" of the card. Just adhere the 2 outside 1" flaps to the inside of the 11" piece to create the stand.

I also tied a Pool Party Sheer Ribbon bow around the Designer Series Paper.

After this, I mounted the calendar on a piece of 3 1/8" x 2 3.8" Orchid Oasis card stock and then adhered it to the Designer Series Paper.

You can find the link to order the calendars here.

Then, I stamped "You Matter to So Many" in Orchid Oasis ink on Basic White card stock using the Something Fancy Stamp Set. There are so many great sentiments in this stamp set! You can see them all below.

I also stamped another flower from the Color & Contour Stamp Set on this sentiment piece in Pool Party ink.

Next, I die-cut the sentiment, along with a Fresh Freesia Fine Shimmer label behind it, using the Something Fancy Dies. This is a MUST HAVE die-set - there are so many great labels in it!!

Finally, I added two Iridescent Pastel Gems to the sentiment. These are my absolute FAVORITE new embellishment in the Mini Catalog. The colors are just gorgeous!!
