Coaster Calendar plus Post it Notes

Post it note calendarPostifNoteCalendar-2

I’ve seen lots of Stampin’ Up! coaster calendars and I’ve seen coaster Post It note holders, but I’ve never seen them combined into one.  I thought it would be great to set on your desk at work, so I made this for one of my friends.

Here’s the side view.  I used calendars from Vippies.  4 x 4 square coaster board, binder clip, Stampin’ Up! DSP and ribbon.  I actually made this in February 2015 when the Flashback DSP was current.  I found the pictures again while cleaning up my computer.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Gift Bag Punch Board altered for A2 Cards

    • Cut two pieces of cardstock 5 ½” x 7”  Go through all the following steps with each of the two sheets of cardstock separately.
    • With paper in Landscape, line left edge of cardstock with “Start Line” shown on bottom left side of Punch Board and “Punch”

    • If the paper has a upside and downside, like paper with words on it, put the paper in Punch Box upside down.  This will make the paper right side up when the bag is complete.

    • Scoot paper to the left and line it up with the left edge of the punch block. See picture. Score all the way across the top (above the triangle) and down the “L” vertical score line.

One of my new favorites from the 2015-16 Stampin’ Up! catalog is the Gift Bag Punch Board.  This gift bag fits about six A2 cards and envelopes.  The directions for altering the bag came from Sara Levin.  Please leave me a comment if you would like the instructions to make the gift bag.  I also really like the new 1″ Dotted Lace Trim.  You can get this Lace Trim in all the new In Colors.

I also made four cards using the Happy Birthday Everyone stamp set.  This is my favorite “Host” set.  You can earn this set by hosting a party or purchasing $150 or more.
