Lovely Lilypad Calendar

Each January, I like to have my club stamp members make a new stand-up calendar with a current stamp set. This set is called Lovely Lily Pad and it's from 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog FREE with a $50 purchase until the end of March. If you wish to get the Lily Pad Dies that coordinate with it, it is FREE with another $100 order. Or you could earn both with a $150 workshop and you could earn more FREE Rewards. The background paper is another Sale-a-Bration item with a $50 order. The calendars were purchased through https//vippies.com

Here are my instructions for making this calendar.

Stamp Sets: Lovely Lily Pad (SAB), Morning Star (Mini)

Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Garden Green, Flirty Flamingo, Lily Impressions DSP (SAB)

Ink: Melon Mambo, Memento Black, Garden Green

Other: Big Shot, Bone Folder, Lily Pad Dies, Tear and Tape, Dimensionals, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Multipurpose Glue, Triple Banner Punch, Multipurpose Glue, Calendars were purchased from https://vippies.com This was inspired by Erica Cerwin's calendar.

1. The calendar is cut from Thick Whisper White cardstock at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle. Use the Bone Folder so the mountain scored line is on the inside.

2. The stand between is also Thick Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/2” and scored on the long side at ½”, 2-3/4” and 5”. Use the Bone Folder to crease all of the scored lines. Attach Tear and Tape on the small ends and to the inside so that the stand looks like a “W” with short sides.

3. Lily Impressions DSP is cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the base of the calendar.

4. Ink up the Lily Pad with Garden Green ink and stamp it on Garden Green cardstock. Die-cut them out with the Lily Pad Dies.

5. Ink up the Lotus Lily Flower with Melon Mambo ink and stamp it on Melon Mambo cardstock. Die-cut it out with the Lily Pad Dies. Add the Flirty Flamingo accent die with Multipurpose Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen.

6. Ink up the sentiment “Each day is a new beginning” with Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock. Use the Triple Banner Punch to make a banner end.

7. Layer everything out before placing it on the calendar. Remove adhesive on the back of the calendar and attach at the bottom making sure you’ll have room at the top for the sentiment and Melon Mambo Lily flower. Attach the sentiment banner with Multipurpose Glue as well as the Lily Pad. Attach the Lotus Lily flower with Dimensionals.
