We're making this at my Gifts Class this Saturday!
Isn't it adorable? I wish I had a family photo inside it, but I haven't found all of my photos yet.
Here are the details:
- The frame is our Decor Accents Chunky Frame 12 X 12". You can purchase it on the clearance rack here for just $7.99!!!
- The background is the Frostwood Lodge designer series paper.
- The numbers are either die-cuts from the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet dies or from the '25 & Counting' stamp set on page 37 in the Holiday mini catalog.
- I used the Peekaboo Frames Bigz L Die to cut out some of the pieces.
- There are quite a few punches used too - squares, circles and scallops
- Can you see the Stitched Felt pieces? There are four of these on here - you get 4 of each shape in a package from the Holiday Mini catalog.
I only have one spot left on the 10th at either 9:30 am or 1 pm. Let me know if you want it! Cost is $20 for the class.

We are also making these Coaster Calendars too:
The other side holds post-it notes.
I chose many types of patterned paper to fit the taste of my friends and family.
And you can turn them on end to get this look:
This one could also be a pencil holder and has room for both post-it notes and a photo on the sides. Did you see the magnet on the bottom for paper clips?
Details:
- To make these just cover your coasters with patterned paper - I prefer a glue stick for this. Smooth the corners or edges with a sanding block.
- Punch 2 holes on each side and tie a knot of ribbon to hold them together.
- Cut out a scallop square from the Scallop Squares Duo die and trim off an inch or so in the middle to get two strips to place behind the calendar.
- Cut out a magnet using the Peekaboo die
- Glue all of the elements onto your coaster triangle and you're done!
These only cost $6.00 each and you can choose from many designes of my patterned paper. Class times are either 4 pm or 6 pm to make these.
Let me know if you want a spot!
Love the calendar idea! So simple, yet so cute! Gonna have to case this idea. TFS!
