Back 2 School Clipboard Calendar

With school right around the corner, I thought I’d make this cute calendar for my sons aid.

I used the Back2School Palz set by ScrappyDew. I purchased a package of clipboards from Walmart. They are sold 2 to a pk. for $1.88, they are nice and sturdy. Layered some white cardsock and some patterned paper and inked all the edges. I used a punch by Martha Stewart called Cherish and punched the edge of my white cardstock. 

I download some 4x6 calendars from www.calendarsquick.com/, printed and trimmed them. Be sure to print both 2012 and 2013 calendars. I punched holes in each of the sheets and joined them together using heart brads. You need to center the calenders on the layered patterned paper and mark with a pencil where the brads are. Then you will punch your holes so you can adhere the calenders using the heart brads. I used my hot glue gun to adhere everything to the clipboard. 

When using the hot glue, be sure to firmly press down on your background paper to the clipboard fairly quick. You don’t want to have thick spots under you project where the glue is. Once the glue sets up, then you can decorate how you wish.

I used some flourishes, flowers and rhinestones.

This is a very inexpensive project to make, and would make a great back to school teacher gift. 

Supplies Used: ScrappyDew Back2School Palz, Trendy Twine, Cardstock, Cherish Punch, Recollections Jar and Package Flowers, CalendersQuick.com, AC Cardstock Silver Foil, Ancestry Paper, Studio G Ink, Sakura Gelly Roll Pen, Making Memories Heart Brads, Rhinestones.

July 4th Card

This is my second project using the July 4th Palz. Created this card for my MIL, from my son. 

I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the white mat and 4 different colors of Stickles for the bursts and stars.

 

My card started out as a flag card and then took another turn, LOL I created the star border in MTC using basic shapes and stars. I do have a 4th of July paper stack somewhere but of course I could not find it!

This is the back, still using the same set of Tim Holtz embossing folders.

Supplies Used

ScrappyDew 4th of July Palz

Stickles- True Blue, Silver, X-mas Red and Frosted Lace

Tim Holtz embossing folders

Cardstock
