12 Months of Note Cards

I couldn't decide if I wanted to make birthday or note cards, then I looked at my stack of correspondence that I SHOULD be answering I went with note cards using this very file: Altered Calendar Hang Tags  You get all 12 months in this file.

Since I am still learning how to use the eBrush I got with my Christmas gift card I wanted to incorporate it in the project so I pulled out the masks that I have had for a couple of years but never used before. I really like the rick rack/zig zag look so I started with that mask. I also decided to go with a newsprint paper because the rick rack on these are layered on to newsprint paper.

I laid the mask on my paper and held it into place using blue painter's tape (this stuff is GREAT!! I've had this roll for quite a while but never used it before). I find that the eBrush is very easy to use, changing colors is no big deal and I don't have the overspray that you get when you use the spray bottles, no more going outside in the wind trying to add a little color to my paper.

 

I really like the way I had a couple of different zig zag options to add a little extra to my note cards but I got tired of zig zags and used different masks on the remainder of the year.

 

 

I like the zig zag pattern the best then the diamond shaped mask, not real nuts about the circles, which do you prefer?

 

As you can see, I punched the hole at the top of the tag and added a matching piece of twine and a piece of twine up the folded side. On the zig zag patterned paper I also added a piece of matching paper that I ran through my Cuttlebug with a zig zig edge folder. I adhered the tags to the card using foam tape.

 

See you next time.

2015 Calendars

Nothing says, "Welcome to the New Year" quite like a brand new calendar does. These are so easy to make and make nice small gifts. 2015 Calendar - Friend's House

 

 

You get 2 calendars from this printable and they don't require a ton of work. I printed mine up, cut out the month pages and stapled them together with my tiny stapler, it worked better than my big stapler did.

I added a piece of thin chipboard to the back of each one to give them a bit of stiffness, added the assembled months using the backing sheet provided and double sided tape. Then I tied a piece of floss around each one, I also added a small hole at the top of the one with the teal floss, that will give the recipient a way to hang it up.

 

Thank you for stopping by.

Angel's Believe Ewe-N-Me Calendar

Happy Friday everyone:

We are down to the wire with the holiday happening next week.  I love this sweet calendar set which I made for a dear friend of mine who is truly an angel.  I stapled the calendar pages together and then glued a ribbon down over the top of the pages.  I did not adhere the ribbon over the actual pages so that they would be easy to tear off at the end of the month.

I bought these tacky magnetic adhesive dots and put a bunch of them on the back of the calendar to make sure that it will hold up to being hung up.  These calendars are so quick and easy and would make a lovely gift for a teacher, friend or grab gift.  

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday.

Hugs,

Anita
