Calendar Joy

Happy December! Today’s post is the last of the 2019 calendar pages that I altered using Stampin Up products.

Happy July 2019

 Well it’s official 2019 is half over and so it’s time to show off the July calendar page that I made for my friend.  I simply took a pre-made calendar page and used Stampin Up products to alter the page.  For today’s page I used the now retired Large Letters and the the retired Sunshine Sayings dies to make the fireworks!

Birthday Wish

 I am so sad that the How Sweet it is DSP retired from Stampin Up.  The paper was perfect for birthdays!   Also retired is the Large Letters Dies and the Picture Perfect stamp set for the candle. I added a piece of striped ribbon to add some additional texture.

A great BIG birthday

 I will be sad to see the Large Letters #141712 dies to retire once the new catalog debuts in June.  I paired them with the Birthday Cheer stamp set #148604 which is also going away as is the How Sweet It Is DSP #148568.  I added the birthday sentiment cut from the Well Written dies #148534 to create a very Happy birthday card.

YAY!

 Today’s card serves 2 purposes: I am officially retired from my 9 to 5 job and I used this card as the thank you cards for the gifts I received from my friends and family.  The design is simple and features the Large Letters Framelits #141712 dies from Stampin Up.

Christmas JOY

 Today’s card is one of my favorite cards this season mostly because I love using the Large Letters Framelits #141712 from Stampin Up.  I started out by texturing the poppy parade with the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #146335. Then I used 2 strips of the Under the Mistle.toe DSP #146921paper before adding the Large Letters.  For the O I hand cut out a poinsettia from the Under the Mistletoe DSP and added a couple of leaves using the Leaf Trim #146905.

Chocolate Ho Ho Ho

I made this sweet box for 3 Ferraro Rocher candies featuring the Under the Mistletoe DSP #146921 from Stampin Up. The letters are cut from the Large Letter Framelit dies #141712 and the candy fits right in to make up the O for the Ho Ho Ho.

Boo its Halloween

 Happy Halloween!  I saved my  favorite Halloween card featuring the Stampin Up Toil and Trouble #147531 DSP for last.  I hand cut out a witches hat from the DSP and added to the DSP strip with the Large Letter Framelits #141712 for a big Halloween BOO!

Ahoy

 Today’s post is one of the alternatives that I came up with for the April 2018 My Paper Pumpkin You Are My Anchor kit. I love the paper pumpkin kits but this You are My Anchor kit rocked except for the size of the cards so I used the kits with other stuff in my stash including the Large Letter Framelits #141712 and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits #141497 to create fun thank yous for my customers that place orders in June!

You Rock

 Happy Birthday to my music loving, vinyl collecting better half- Brad! I made this card to celebrate Brad’s birthday.  It features the True Gentleman DSP #145593 from the Stampin Up Occasions Catalog. I cut the letters from the Large Letters #141712 Framelits and made the record using Circle punches.  I added a piece of the 3/8″ Navy Corduroy ribbon #145597 to add the perfect masculine finish.  Happy Birthday and keep on Rockin!
