Coaster Calendar

We made this calendar during my last Stamp class. I have seen many versions of calendars on SCS made with tons of different colors and ideas. This was my version of all the great ideas that are out there. I did not have any coasters but I do have sheets of chipboard so I just cut the board to 4 x 4 inches.

To make your own all that you will need is a coaster or chipboard, paper for the background, binder clip, calendar, and misc. ribbon and accessories. You can print your own calendars here as many times as you need.

The first thing that you will need to do is to cut the designer paper just slightly larger than the coaster chipboard. I used tombo glue to attach the DP to chipboard and make sure that it would not come off. Next, I cut two pieces of rose red paper, one being 3 1/2 x 2 3/4 and the other 1 1/4 x 1 7/8. Make sure to sponge on chocolate chip ink around all pink paper. The small piece of rose red will need to be glued around the top of the binder clip. Place binder clip on the board to determine placement of rose red mat. Glue down the large piece of rose red mat and place calendars on top and attach by placing binder cip on top of everything. Next, you will need to tie around approx. 12 inches of chocolate chip ribbon around the bottom of coaster. The last thing that you will need to do is punch out all of the flowers that you would like to place to decorate. You can attach the top flower on the binder cip using a glue dot and covering the back with a small piece of paper to cover the glue.

Listed below is everything that you will need to reproduce this great little calendar. You can also add a strip of magnet on the bottom of the chipboard to attach it to anything metal. I hope that you enjoy this little calendar and can make some for yourself. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: Old Olive DP, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
Ink: chocolate chip
Punches: 5 petal flower ( to make leaves), boho flower, 1/4" circle
Accessories: chocolate chip ribbon, medium binder clip, magnet strip, glue dots, sanding block
