April Calendar

Have you guys been making your 2013 Calendars each month? I am really enjoying doing these!



The tag I included on April's calendar was actually a tag I made in January. You can find that original post HERE
  • BoBunny Double Dot cardstock (shop TSQ), and various other scraps
  • DESIGNER'S CALENDAR:
    • "April" cut @ 5" with shadow
    • Grid cut @ 5 1/2" and matted with various papers
    • Day abbreviations cut @ 1"
    • Numbers cut @ 1"
  • Important Days stamped with "It's All About You" from Cardz TV Stamps using Ruby Red ink from Stampin' Up 
Here are the details on the Funky Chicken Rain Dance Tag:
  • ELEGANT EDGES:
    • "Design 2" p. 70 cut @ 5" with shadow
    • "Design 2" p. 70 cut twice @ 4 3/4" in 2 different patterned papers
    • One of the papers was cut and placed on the bottom for the "rain puddle" look
  • 3 BIRDS ON PARADE:
    • Rain birdie p. 30 cut @ 3 1/2"
    • Wings cut again using Cricut Craft Room stretching them to a larger size just for fun and placed at different angels than what the manual shows - again, just for fun
  • Everything inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dye distress ink
  • Bird and Umbrella adhered with foam tape for dimension
  • Yellow lashed googlie eyes from Hobby Lobby
  • Black faux stitching and dots added to umbrella and rain boots
  • Ribbon from Michael's Dollar Bin
  • The Robin's Nest Blue tear drops added with glue dots for rain
  • CARDZ TV STAMPS:
    • "Critter Captions" used for sentiment stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink
  • Background pattern papers from Doodle Deux 6x6 pad I got at Hobby Lobby
I removed the February calendar, slid the March one over and pinned up April with Clothespins.
