Perpetual Birthday Calendar – December

Here’s the final month in my perpetual birthday calendar. For this one, I wanted to emphasize snow – and the snow flurry punch and some silver glimmer paper helped me do that.

Stampin' Up! Perpetual Birthday Calendar

I started by stamping December in night of navy and then added the December images from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set in night of navy and marina mist. I cut out a number of snowflakes using the snow flurry punch and decided that the larger one looked best – I used fast fuse to firmly adhere the heavy silver glimmer paper. It still needed a little more sparkle so I grabbed the confetti stars punch and punched out little stars. I fixed these on with the multipurpose glue which worked okay after it was really dry. Until that point, it seemed to be easy to knock them off.

Most of my class didn’t get this far – other  priorities like making dinner and ferrying children around interfered. I suppose that 5 hours for the total calendar speaks to how much fun we were having – and how many trips to the cookie rack were incorporated into the fun. The up side is that we’ll have another class to finish off soon although the later months aren’t really needed quite yet.

I’ll do a round up with pictures of all the months in one place soon – and will also show the changes that I made to a few of the months during the class.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
