DIY Calendar | The Maui Stamper

I was so busy making Christmas crafts this month that I completely forgot about thank you notes. Yesterday I sat down to write a few and realized I didn’t have any cards made! (Well, there were a couple – but they were boring.)

One of my orders this month included some Crumb Cake Note Card envelopes, sized for 3 1/2″ x 5″ note cards. Oh, Crumb Cake, you are such a versatile neutral! (Don’t tell on me, but I still call it Kraft. It’s the Stubborn Girl inside.)

Too Kind and Four You stamp sets
Naturals White, Primrose Petals and Crumb Cake card stock
Blushing Bride, Primrose Petals and Crumb Cake FFIP (Firm Foam Ink Pads)
Two Way Glue Pen
Dazzling Diamonds (don’t tell Mr. Maui Stamper!!)

That “grass” is just the stem image turned upside down and stamped all katty-wompus.

These flowers NEEDED the sparkle that you can only get from Dazzling Diamonds. So much Christmas sparkle is floating around our house that I’m pretty sure he won’t notice this extra bit. Christmas cards, ornaments, packages – all kinds of contraband covered in glitter has been sneaking into our house!

How about turning 180 degrees? Crumb Cake goes from flowers to grunge!

Flags are still hot, washi is very hot, and washi flags are easy as can be. Stampin’ Up! washi tape is sold in coordinating packages of 3, saving you money and time.

Speaking of saving yourself time and money, don’t forget to order your DIY calendar kit for 2014. $8 with easel, $5 without.

Complete details are HERE.

Did you enjoy my calendars this year? The first of every month, I’ve shared my design for a small calendar page that sits on an easel in my kitchen. I’ve offered this as a class locally, and I’ve had a couple of requests for the pages. I’ve decided to offer a DIY calendar kit – here’s what you’ll get:

12 printed pages with the month and days, pre-cut
12 colored card stock mats (colors listed below)
a wooden easel, just the right size
a clear box for gift packaging

The kit includes mats in Soft Suede, Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Bermuda Bay, Old Olive, Pistachio Pudding, Basic Black, Rich Razzleberry, Wild Wisteria, Melon Mambo, Real Red, Tangerine Tango and Daffodil Delight. You choose the images and ink you’d like for your calendar. You’re welcome to use mine as a starting place, and I’ll continue to post a new calendar page every month through 2014. As a matter of fact, I’ve joined with two friends who have done similar projects, so on the first of every month we’ll have a Calendar Mini-Tour!

The box is a perfect fit when the calendar is assembled. (It looks even better once you’ve stamped the pages!!)

Cost for your calendar is $8 with the easel, $5 without. Shipping is by flat rate box at $5.80 if you include the easel, first class mail ($.66) without. I can put multiple calendars in the flat rate box. Payment is by paypal – complete the form and I’ll respond with an invoice. Leave a comment or send an email if you have questions.
