The most beautiful couple and Christmas wreaths

Our crafting colleague Tina designed her own line of stamps and stencils under the name Najepši Par "The most beautiful couple" (also in Spanish – La Pareja Creativa). I liked her collection from the moment I saw it and two days ago I couldn’t help myself to order my own set of stamps and stencils.
I had so much fun playing with it!

Here you can see my outputs from yesterday…

 

 

Snowflake 1

December is approaching fast and soon it will be time to send Christmas / New Year cards.

This is one in the first series I made this season. I decided to make some cards in different shapes, not only square and rectangular, so I made the card bases using nestability dies.

I stick the sparkles at the edges using Decorating Paste.

 

 

I enter this card to the following challenges:

Desk calendar stand (including tutorial)

I know we are at the beginning of November, but time flies so fast that New Year will be here in a bit. An idea of a desk calendar came into my mind and I would like to share it with you.

I cut a strip of cardboard (6 x 34 cm).

I marked where to fold it.

I fold it using a ruler and burnisher.

You can see the exact sizes here:

At the end it should look like that:

I glued the front part (the 1 cm one) and stick it to the longer (13 cm) part. You can help yourself with little clothespins.

Before gluing the last part, I embellished the upper front part.

Then I glued the last (0,5 cm) part.

 

At the end I added the calendar, which I bought at the local stationer's shop.
