More Calendar fun

For this calendar I used the Painted Love designer series paper, Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo cardstock. I used the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. I've had the directions to this type of calendar on here before, but am reprinting them for convenience here. This one is now sitting next to my computer:)  You can get a printable calendar here.

1. Base calendar: cut 4-1/4 x 11 score at 5-1/2
2. Easel mechanism: cut 4-1/4 x 5 score at 1, 2-1/2, 4 inches
3. Fold the center line of the easel mechanism in mountain position, then the two score lines on either
side are valley folds. (It looks like a tent with side flaps.) Miter edges.
4. With the base calendar in the mountain position, stand it over the easel mechanism. Adhere the flaps to the inside of the base calendar to make it stand.
5. To line the flowers up on the branch, refer to the diagram below. Look at just three flowers.

Brusho and Stencils

I used the same stencil and Brusho colors on both cards but on the first one I used embossing paste and on the second one I applied Versamark right on the stencil then heat embossed in white. I like the first one, embossing paste the best.

More Brusho!

More Brusho examples for you today.
For the background on the dragonfly card, I used starch and cling wrap. It's Brusho & Spray Starch #45 in my technique binder. Pictures and description on this blogpost. I'll email the set to you FREE with an order of $25.

For the butterfly card, I embossed the butterfly in gold, then used an Aqua Painter to brush on the color. The background on the left was done with bubble wrap, and is #44 Brusho, Starch, Bubble Wrap in the technique binder.

Free Product from SALE-A-BRATION

In the SALE-A-BRATION catalog there is a set of card bases and envelopes. They coordinate with a stamp set in the Occasions catalog. I don't have the stamp set...but I am sooo glad I choose these cards and envys when I earned a free item. Look at this cute group of cards I made with them.

One day I stamped and embossed a whole bunch of images in copper, gold and white on watercolor paper. Then I got out my Brushos and stampin' spritzer to let the magic happen. I set them aside to dry. Today I mounted them on these Tutti-Fruitti Cards and Envelopes.
