2020 Desk Calendar using Good Morning Magnolia

Hi friends, welcome to my blog! As we get ready to say goodbye to December and welcome a new year, I thought this would be a timely project to share.

The calendar base is 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2". The inside part that keeps the calendar upright is 4" x 5", scored on the long side at 1/2", 2-1/2" & 4-1/2". The 2-1/2" scoreline is a mountain fold; the other 2 are valley folds. A piece of Tear & Tape adhesive on the 1/2" portions holds everything in place. The designer paper is 4" x 5-1/4".

The large magnolia is stamped on Thick Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends in Light & Dark Petal Pink & Mossy Meadow. The center was colored with Dark Daffodil Delight. I brushed the entire flower with Clear Wink of Stella and added 3 Champagne Rhinestones (available January 3!) The flower is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals, except for the leaf under the calendar, where I added a drop of liquid glue.

The calendar is from Taylored Expressions (www.tayloredexpressions.com).

Merci Chocolate Treat Holder for Fall

Hi Friends, welcome!

Today I'm sharing a fun 3-D project for Fall.

This sweet little box holds four Merci chocolates!

I followed instructions shared by Julie DiMatteo (The Paper Pixie) for the basic box. You can see her blog post with measurements and instructions here. I designed a different closure for my box:

The triangles on the corners hold the front flap closed, which opens to reveal the chocolates:

Here are my instructions to make the corner closure:

1. Cut Designer Paper 1-1/2" square and score on all sides at 3/8".

2. Cut on the diagonal.

3. Snip off the 2 corners that were cut in half in step 2. Trim the remaining 2 corners into small tabs as shown.

4. Fold on score lines and assemble corner triangles using liquid glue. They are ready to attach to the assembled box using a thin line of liquid glue on the 3/8" sides.

My box is embellished with leaves & pumpkins from the Gather Together Bundle. I used Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock & Mint Macaron accented with gleaming Copper Foil.
