I love calendars and one of my downline Laree makes my husband a cute calendar each year for his desk, which I always love and have a hard time not taking from him. This year was no different. She made this standing calendar using the Big Shot and Stampin' Up!'s die Top Note. Cut a Top Note die from a Base Color and a Designer Series print and trim at the perforated marks on the Designer Paper and glue together. Tie a ribbon around Top Note and tie it at the top with Linen Thread through a button.
To create the standing base, cut 4 1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock in coordinating color, score 1", 2", 5 1/2", 9", and 10 inches. Fold in half and at the 2 and 9 inch marks. Layer the 1" and 10 inches together and staple the base together. The fold in the middle allows you to fold this calendar flat for mailing purposes. Attach Top Note piece to base by adding calendar to the front and adhering it with colored brads that go through to the base.
Check your calendars and join me, March 19th, for my next Hands On class where we will make cute projects like this calendar.
