DIY | The Maui Stamper

Don’t tell Mr. Maui Stamper, but I got into the glitter again:

It was a simple matter. Just a little Two-Way Glue Pen on the bats and a sprinkle of black glitter (from last year’s holiday catalog – but you have some in your stash too, don’t you?)

The stamps are from the Project Life Holiday Cheer set from last year as well. But the whole idea of these calendars is to inspire you to create your own – and if you have a little bat somewhere you’ll be all set! (If you don’t, try Cheer All Year or Project Life Seasonal Snapshop 2015). Shop HERE.

Be sure and visit Cheryl and Crystal to see what they’ve done for October. And if you’d like a Ready-To-Stamp 2016 Calendar kit, I’m taking orders – they’ll ship November 1st.

You may choose your kit either with easel or without. Prices include shipping for one kit; please contact me for shipping costs of multiple kits.

2016 Calendar Kit with wood easel: $13.95 ($8 for kit, $5.95 for priority mail box)
2016 Calendar Kit (no easel, no box): $5.71 ($5 for kit, $.71 for first class mail)

You’ll get 12 calendar month pages printed on Whisper White plus a cover page announcing the year. You will also receive 13 card stock mats in colors that will coordinate well with the seasons of the year. Finally, I’ll include a clear box tor presenting your calendar as a gift when you choose the kit with the easel. Contact me at AnneMatasci (at) gmail (dot) com with your choice of kits, email address, and shipping address. I’ll send an invoice via SQUARE and will ship the calendars on November 1, 2015. Full details HERE.

I chose an old favorite for my September easel calendar. I must not be the only one who likes it, because it’s still available in the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog:

Stamps: Summer Silhouette
Color Palette: So Saffron, Hello Honey, Early Espresso
Accessories: Dazzling Diamonds

I’ve been a little wild and crazy with the Dazzling Diamonds lately, and I hope I don’t get too careless. Mr. Maui Stamper is NOT a fan of glitter on the run. If it is firmly attached to something – anything – he will tolerate it, but glitter in the air, on clothing, or (especially) on the furniture drives him crazy.

But look at those beautiful sparkly bits! It absolutely had to be done. Can I let you in on a little secret? I just added those Dazzling Diamonds a few days ago with my new, about-to-be-released Fine Tip Glue Pen from the Holiday Catalog. Tombo will always be The Wonder Adhesive in my book, but the Fine Tip Glue Pen is going to need some special recognition too.

Be sure to visit Cheryl and Crystal to see what they’ve created for this month – and stay tuned if you’d like a set of blank 2016 pages for your own creative calendar!
