These are a different type of image, so they don't look a lot like Becca's. Hers are a lot prettier, but I still like mine quite a bit.
I got four large cards out of one calendar page. This calendar was called "Collections".
I used my cheap graduation cards as the base for these, and kept the design simple. I used a Creative Memories Precious Elements silver pen at the top and bottom of the calendar cutout and then stamped my Stampin Up sentiment in Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder. I wanted an antique feel, and I got it!
If you remember, the inside of these cards has a frame for a picture. I didn't want or need the frame, so I covered it with a sentiment from Elegant Word Art by Bethany:
I printed these onto the insert sheets that came with the cards. They originally had an invitation printed on the one side, but this side was blank. So I trimmed them down, punched the corners with my Martha Stewart PATP corner punch and printed the sentiment from my computer.
I really like how these turned out, and I may just bundled them up for my grandmother since she's stuck inside all winter and can't get out to buy cards.
beautiful. I didn't see any calendars like these at Michael's, only horses and dogs and such.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I have loads of calendars that I thought to use on altered notebooks or something, but I never thought of cutting them up like you did! I'll have to try that sometime.
ReplyDeleteAngie,
ReplyDeleteI looked through three crates of calendars at my store and they must have had 20+ of this particular calendar. I had to force myself not to buy them all. :) I did see quite a few horses and dogs, but they're not quite as easy to make cards out of, so I left them.
