2013 Magnetic Calendar Day... - 4

Hello...

Continuing with the calendar series here is my 4th calendar for 2013 

(Check out my previous calendar here, here & here...)

I love the owl punch from stampin' up...

It is on top of my wish list....

But I couldn't wait to make something with the cute owl till I get my hands on that punch so I decided to do the next best thing....

I made my own template & made this cutie with scissors & papers...  :)

I used googly eyes to give it some dimension & movement...

I popped up the owl on black foam tape...

The base is embossed with craft universe embossing folder & the leaves are sizzix die cuts...

I also added 4 magnets on each corner at the back...

And below is the calendar I made for the Swap... The design of this calendar is same as the above one but this is a desktop calendar...

This calendar went to Rajni Ji...

Hello...

I made some calendars for 2013 when my monitor was gone for repair....

But  I couldn't post them here till now because I am participating in a swap by Swap Central India...

I will be sharing the calendars in then next few posts...

(Today's calendar is not the one that I made for the swap...)

I made 2 calendars in the same design but with different pattern papers..

The PPs are from Papermania

The brown tiles are embossed with itsy-bitsy folders & then I sponged some white pigment ink over them...

The butterfly was punched, sponged with pink colour & embossed  ...

Then I added some holographic glitter glue over the wings & added pearls on its body...

Ribbon & rhinestones add the finishing touches to the calendar...

I also added 4 magnets on each corner at the back...

Some Paper Bookmarks

Helloo...

My scrap box has started to overflow.... 

So I thought of making something using them...

& make a little dent in my ever growing pile of scrap papers...

& while going through them I found 6 die cut white bookmarks...

I was itching to use my new eyelet setter I bought few days back....

So... Tada....

I made 6 bookmarks....

I have used different techniques for all of them...

 The first one is made with brown embossed CS... The green panel is White ivory square embossed & shaded with pencil colours on the debossed side...

I had 1 piece of ivory that I had misted with pink colour ages ago... I embossed it & coloured the leaves with green pencil colour & applied some magenta 3D outliner dots on the embossed berries...

The piece below the green ribbon is a scrap piece that was left from an old project....

The third bookmark is also made from a wet embossed CS  left from an old card... 

I used my MS Doily Punch to make the white paper ribbon, then added a red ribbon & 3 rhinestones & done....

For the fourth bookmark I distressed the edges of the bookmark with frayed burlap distress ink, embossed a Purple CS with birds & swirls embossing folder & brayed with the same distress ink, Distressed the edges with my scissors, added some brown rhinestones, eyelet & ribbon & done...

For the fifth bookmark I used the negative of a die cut butterfly for the focal point. I embossed a small pink square & adhered it to the back of diecut & added pearls in the center. Then I adhered it on a partially embossed & distressed cream handmade CS & added a ribbon & some light purple rhinestones for the finishing touches.

The last one is pretty simple... I just used the tile punch on purple CS & added rhinestones in the center of each flower.

Thanks for visiting...  :)
