Serendipitous Finds

Can you believe I'm still making calendars in April?  Well, I 'found' more Vippies calendars buried under the scrap papers on my desk and at the same time I discovered an uninked wooden handle Mari and Me stamp in the back of a drawer.  How did it get there?  Also on my desk were newly purchased Daiso origami paper packs....they were so cute and pretty...and cheap...only $1.50!

These three serendipitous finds seemed to be destined to be used in a project.  As with other small folded calendars that I've shown in previous blogs, I started with a 4"x 10-1/4" strip of solid card stock.  This strip was scored at 4", 8", 8-3/4",and 9-1/2".  After folding the calendar base tab was glued in place. Next, two sheets of origami paper were cut into 3-3/4" pieces and glued onto the front and back of the calendar base.

The animal image was stamped onto marker paper and colored with Copic pens.  I fussy cut the images and adhered them with foam pop dot adhesives.  

I plan to tuck these calendars into anything I mail to friends and family. There are only a few more to give away *wink*wink*!
