Hi Everyone, Anet here today and welcome to my inspiration post.
I made Desk Top Calendars with the Lavender Love Collection from Couture Creations.
Step by Step Instructions:
Desk Top Calendar 1
I first trimmed Smooth White cardstock to 4 1/2" x 11" and score it at 5 1/2" to create card base.
For the stand I trimmed white cardstock to 4" x 4 1/2" and score 4" side at 1/2" and 2" turn it and score it at 1/2". I fold it in half, then fold 1/2" flaps back (looks like a "w") and adhere the stand along the inside edges of the tent (middle fold is up).
I trimmed Caledon Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" and Lavender Love Patterned Paper 6 to 4" x 5".
I then cut Caledon Cardstock to 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" layered the Calendar Tab 2023 onto the cardstock and adhered onto the desk top front.
To finish I fussy-cut Lavender Love Patterned Paper 8 and adhered the butterfly ephemera onto the desk top front. I also added Seafoam 3D Liquid Drops onto the butterfly ephemera.
Desk Top Calendar 2
I followed the same measurements for the Desk Top Calendar base as above.
I trimmed Violet Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" and Lavender Love Patterned Paper 3 to 4" x 5".
I then cut Violet Cardstock to 2 1/8" x 3 1/8" layered the Calendar Tab 2023 onto the cardstock and adhered onto the desk top front.
To finish I fussy-cut Lavender Love Patterned Paper 8 and adhered the butterfly ephemera onto the desk top front. I also added Seafoam 3D Liquid Drops onto the butterfly ephemera.
