First up is Michelle!
Dreamscape is a great new paper line from Quick Quotes and it gets even better when used with Spellbinder Dies! I wanted to make a shaped card and it is a super easy thing to do with the Grand Calibur and Labels Eight die set.


Of course I couldn't stop with just one card so I made a Second Card.
For this shaped card, I used the Reverse Wonky Rectangle Die Set to cut the card using the same process mentioned before (placing the fold slightly lower than one end of the die). I Used a smaller wonky rectangle die with the patterned paper. The Sentiment is stamped (using a My Mind’s Eye Stamp) with the Blue Moon Powderpuff Ink pad and is on a Grommet Tag that I cut using the Spellbinders Grommet Tags Set. I added pearls that were included in December’s Monthly kit.

Next up is Julie with a wonderful project to kick off the New Year!:

Steps:
1. Print or stamp a set of mini monthly calendars. I printed mine from calendarlabs.com. They were free and the perfect size.

2. Cut and ink the edge of each month with Mocha Mama powderpuff ink.

3. Cut 15 of the largest die from Spellbinders Wonky Rectangle die. 11 of these will be for the inside pages, and the other 4 will be used for the front and back of each of the covers. I used Dreamscape papers 100 and 300.

4. Using the largest rectangle die again and chipboard cut the front and back covers of the mini calendar.

5. Adhere the pattern paper rectangles to the front and back of each chipboard piece using Beacon's 3 in 1 glue.
6. For the cover, cut the 3rd to largest rectangle die. I used cream cardstock for this. Ink the edges with Mocha Mama ink. Then cut the 3rd and 2nd smallest rectangles using Dreamscape papers. I used the 100 and 300. Adhere the 3rd largest and 3rd smallest rectangle as shown in the picture. Ink around the "2012" label and adhere this to the smallest rectangle. Add a pop dot to the back of this so it is raised a bit. Tie a bow using Quick Quotes pink and black gingham ribbon and adhere below the "2012" title.
7. Bind the pages and covers together using a Bind-It-All. If you do not have one of these, you can simply punch holes and add a ring to keep them together. Here is a picture of one of the inside pages.
Hope you have enjoyed this post! Have a fabulous day!
