DIY CALENDAR BLOG HOP: AUGUST 2025 CHEERS AND SIPS

Happy August, and welcome back to DIY Calendars! We’re glad you’ve stopped by for a little late-summer inspiration. I’m thinking cool and refreshing adult beverages this month with the Cheers & Sips bundle from our Online Exclusives line.

Mr Maui Stamper is a fabulous bartender. He’s a measure twice, cut once kind of guy anyway, and during the pandemic he put that mindset to creating refreshing adult beverages. He’s become an expert, and I’m always happy to test his new creations!

I had a lot of fun blending watercolors for this card, but not half as much fun as he has blending spirits and mixers. So yes, Cheers to Us!

Click the button to travel through the Blog Hop and see what Sharon, Cheryl and Malia have created in August. We’re so glad you’ve joined us!

Would you like to make your own DIY Calendars? 2025 is still available, and 2026 will be available next month. I know some of you are champing at the bit to get to it!

The template is just $5 – let me know that’s what you want and I’ll send you an invoice. Please tell me you’re a real being in the message box – I’m getting increasing amounts of spam. Everything is done digitally, so you’ll have it quickly.

You are only purchasing a template, which you can download and print for your personal use.

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE: WHITE EMBOSSING

One of the Maui Stamper team members shared this technique with me, and I was smitten. It’s simple to do and I love the pop of color it gives on top of Crumb Cake card stock! Thanks, Brigid. 💕

  • Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Changing Leaves
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Berry Burst
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Deckle Rectangles dies, Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, White Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy and Tray, Heat Tool, White Craft Ink, Stampin’ Write Markers, paintbrush, dauber, Linen Thread, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

There’s a lot going on here, but none of it is hard. I embossed the Spotlight on Nature flower on Crumb Cake card stock with White Craft Ink and White Embossing Powder. To get the color to pop, I used a small brush to paint inside the flowers and leaves with White Craft Ink (I didn’t dilute it). Once that dried completely, I colored on top of the White Craft Ink with Stampin’ Write markers.

I am also quite smitten (it’s an excellent word, try it) with the Greetings of the Season dies. They have a little hole in the die so you can tie on your thread or ribbon. I love how clean that little hole is!!

Do you have our Embossing Kit? I’m telling you, it’s worth it just for the little screwed on stopper at the top. No more broken nails trying to get that stupid plug out! Treat yourself, and shop the Online Store.
