Now she's lost in play........................................
First up is this cute mini composition book. I was playing with my Nestabilities and absolutely love that you can cut out different sizes and even the middles out of larger pieces!
My next card is made from pp that I picked up at the CK Convention. I just love the colors in this card.
The first round of boxes I made using a Snow Flake Cuttlebug folder on green cardstock. I just love how this turned out. I made some carmel popcorn and took some boxes up to the teachers and secretaries at the kids school on Friday.
I also needed to make a quick box for my secret sis at church and put this box together tonight.
Cut 4 pieces of pattern paper 4" square, apply adhesive and adhere to the front and back of your coasters.
Next you'll punch a circle and stamp "Days Unitl Christmas".
Here's mine (sorry a bit blurry) as I am not fortunate enough to have a JustRite stamper like Amy, but I was able to make due with stamps in my collection. :)
Next you'll cut 1"x 1.5" pieces of cardstock or paper for your calendar. For this calendar I choose 0-3 & 0-9 for my numbers. I used a snow flake stamp with Close to My Heart Daisy White (THE best white ink ever!) and number stickers from my stash.
Now the fun part! You'll place about .25" of your coaster under a ruler and mark off every .25". This will create the guides for punching holes for the plastic coil.
After you punch holes in the first coaster use this as a template for the second coaster as well as your numbers.
After you get your coasters and numbers punched it's time to bind. Be sure you have your numbers in the correct order before binding!
Here's the finished product with one final step. So the coasters don't collapse on each other cut a .5" x 3" strip of cardstock, score .5" from both ends, adhere .5" on the back coaster, slip the other .5" behind the ribbon. (If you adhered your ribbon already, don't worry. Take an exacto knife under the ribbon to lossen the adhesive and slip in the other scored end.)
