Perpetual Calendar

Hello.  Gail from the design team here today.  My first chance to wish you a happy new year.  Wow, 2017.  And I have finally managed to make myself a never-ending calendar.  I have seen various styles of these around and have been meaning to make one, and now I have.  I did think I would go with the cube style, but then I saw some that looked similar to this one and decided to make this style instead.   I kinda winged the design from a picture I saw.  I decided to use this months Rubber Dance challenge colours because I quite like red, white and blue.  Especially blue LOL. I started by cutting my panels from chipboard using Sizzix Postage Stamp dies.  I arranged them on this 30 x 30cm sheet to show that you could cut them from one sheet.  Well, just about...... I covered both sides of all the panels with cream handmade paper, embossed the edges with red embossing powder and also stamped and embossed the ...

Today I choose to be happy

Image
Hi my dear crafty friends. It's Susanne today and I like to share this fresh card with you. It's really easy to make. The background is embossed with a Sizzix Embossing Folder. I colored it with Distress Ink Crushed Olive and a watertank brush. I added some black splatters with an acrylic spray. For the left upper corner I used  a piece of white cardstock that I stamped with the Old Book Page stamp from Rubber Dance. I tore it to the right size and cut some negative shapes with a tiny bird, an arrow and a heart die. The gorgeous sentiment "today I choose to be happy" is embossed with black embossing powder. I stamped the Bird with Distress Ink Barn Door and Pumice Stone. The body of the bird and it's feet are inked up seperately. I cut it out and adhered it with the branch to the card. That's it. Very easy. It's the first  time I am posting in 2016 on the Rubber Dance Blog! So I wish you all a Happy New Year. See you soon and hap...
