Here is another version of mini calendars for this year. As in previous years I made this type to fold and mail easily.
I started with a marbled card stock and used various stamps to decorate the front. The stars were stamped and dusted with silver embossing powder before heating.
On the back I stamped fairies, dandelions and a favorite quote. Silver Liquitex paint was flicked on the surface.
Here's a look at the inner construction of the calendar stand. The front and back are 3-1/2" squares and the width of the pleats are 3/4" so you will need a 3-1/2" x 9-1/4" piece of card stock for each calendar stand.
The fairy stamps and other images came from a Hero Arts monthly pack and a stamp set that came free in a magazine. The wooden handled stamp saying is another great Penny Black stamp. I plan to make more calendars similar to this one (gotta use up all the calendars I bought heeheehee!) Please visit often to see what new versions I create. Thanks!
