Card 3 from the February Stamps in the Mail kit

It seems some of my scheduled posts are posting out of order. I am away at the Stampin'up! Leadership and tried to keep things going. I am sorry for the mixup. Card 3 uses the following supplies: Same stamp set and thinlit dies. Coastal cabana and Whisper White cardstock. Mossy Meadow and coastal Cabana ink. Pearls are also used.

Butterfly Basics card #1 for February Stamps in the Mail Kit

This is the first card in my February Stamps in the Mail Kit. Kits are still available to order. Supplies are as follows: Butterfly Basics stamp set, Butterflies Thinlits Dies, Naturals Ivory cardstock, Mossy Meadow, Tangelo Twist, and Blackberry Bliss inks. I also used sponges, Basic Butterfly punch, 3/4' PUNCH WHITE BAKER'S TWINE, and stampin dimensionals.

Butterfly Thinlits Dies

I'm sure you have seen the trouble we have with some of the thinlit dies. The cardstock gets stuck and rips before we can get it out of the die. Several of our talented demonstrators have video's using 2 dryer sheets that help with this problem. Take your two sheets and fold them in half. Then using the bigshot and both tabs run the die through on top of the dryer sheets. This creates a film on the die that does not hurt the cardstock but allows removal much easier. Love it!!

Card #2 for February Stamps in the Mail Kit

Card 2 uses the following supplies: Butterfly Basics stamp set and thinlits. coastal Cabana, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight cardstock. Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper from the Occasions catalog, and Best Year Ever DSP FREE from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. Other supplies are the yellow button, also FREE, from the SAB catalog.

I am looking for 6 of the hard black 11 x 17 rubber mats Stampin'Up! sold several years ago. Any help will be appreciated...and you can bring them to Leadership if you are going, or to Convention this summer.

The Perpetual Calendar Kit - August

August, the end of summer....but this page topper has some sparkle.

The Perpetual Calendar kit - July

This is the page topper for July. You can still order this Calendar kit from the Occasions catalog.

The Perpetual Birthday Calendar - June

The June page for the Calendar. I used the scalloped oval punch and the oval punch for the month name.

The Perpetual Birthday/Anniversary Calendar - May page

I've been saying Birthday calender but you also put anniversaries, special happenings in your family/friends circle that happen on the same date each year. These are so useful.

Boxes, Bags, and Tags class Saturday

A short interruption in The Perpetual Calendar posts. This is one of two projects we will be making this Saturday, January 24 at 10am. It uses the Hearts framelits and the new Designer Paper from the Occasions catalog. There is space available. See you Saturday.

The Perpetual Calendar - April

This is the header of the April page for The Perpetual Calendar kit.

The Perpetual Calendar - March

The March page for The Perpetual Calendar.

The Perpetual Birthday Calendar - February

February's page.

The Perpetual Birthday Calendar - January

This is the January page. You will notice my note. I took the pages and back board and used my Bind-It-All to hold them together. What I didn't do, however, is make sure the days of the months were correct. Hence the note to remind my ladies to make sure everything is in the correct order before we bind them. The little gold circles were punched with the 1/4" circle punch out of the scrap gold glitter paper from the kit. The sequins are from the string of sequins included in the kit. I just eased some off the end.
