Today I want to share with you a Karen Foster Desktop Flip Calendar Kit that was purchased at Archiver’s and made as a gift for my mother-in law. I also enhanced the calendar with additional products including Close To My Heart products!!!

I originally had this entire calendar in one post, but I found it to be too long and overwhelming. So I’ve broken it down into two blog posts!! Today I have January through June for you, and my next post will have July through December.

Mojo Monday

The sketch today comes from Mojo Monday.

CTMH: For Always #projectaday

I altered this sketch slightly by rotating it. Starting with a white card base, I added a layer of Black Cardstock.Using the In The Background Stamp Set, Versamark®, and black embossing powder I created the shiny chevron design. Using the stamp set from the For Always Workshop On The Go® Cardmaking Kit {retired} I  stamped the sentiment and banners in Versamark® and once again used black embossing powder to create the shine on a layer of Whisper Cardstock.  The scallop was made by double layering Whisper Cardstock and Black & Grey Glitter Paper using an EK Success Punch.  Next I added a layer of patterned paper from the For Always Paper Packet {retired} and also a skinny strip of the Black & Grey Glitter Paper at the base of the patterned paper.

CTMH: For Always #projectaday

Using Honey Cardstock, the Art Philosophy Cricut® Cartridge, and a few Clear Sparkles these flowers were easily created and add a great pop of color to this card!!

  The black, white, and grey combo and the little pop of color on this card makes it perfect for any celebratory occasion!!

With the multiple layers on this card it also is perfect for day #9 {use layers} of the Project A Day Challenge! I’m running slightly behind on the Project A Day Challenge so be on the look out for another post soon!!!
