Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #085. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia and we have a 3D challenge for you today.
I love to make 3D items because I think there is so much more you can achieve with Stampin' Up! products apart from card making. Whether they be gift boxes, framed projects, table decor or something pretty for a gift presentation.
I always try to include a 3D item in my monthly Stamp Club projects and the desk top calendar was the item for February. Usually some form of calendar would be included in my January class but due to COVID restrictions my Face to Face class could not go ahead in January.
I have created 2 styles of calendars using the adorable Snail Mail Designer Series Paper.
The measurements for the above design The Easel Calendar are as follows:
- Blushing Bride Cardstock 10.8cm x 28cm (4-1/4" x 11"), scored along long side at 7cm & 14cm (2-3/4" & 5-1/2")
- Blushing Bride Cardstock 10.8cm x 14cm for calendar panel (4-1/4" x 5-1/2")
- Designer series paper 10. 3cm x 13.5 cm 2 pieces (4" X 5-1/4")
- Blushing Bride Cardstock for Post-It© Note base 8.3cm x 8.3 cm (3-1/4" x 3-1/4")
- Basic White Cardstock for Post-It Note© cover 3.1cm x 10.1cm (3-1/8" x 4")
- Blushing Bride Cardstock 6cm x 8cm for calendar base (3" x 3")
- DSP for pen loop 2.5cm x 10cm (1" x 4")
- Snail Mail designer series Paper to fussy cut snails and mushrooms
My next two designs a probably a little more complicated as you need to form a small box which you attach to the front of the stand to hold your sticky note pad.
These are the measurements for the Mini Desk Calendar
- Cardstock measuring 9.5cm x 26.6cm (3-3/4" x 10-1/2") Score at 10.1cm, 20.3cm, 22.8cm, 25.4cm (4", 8", 9", 10")
- Cardstock measuring 12cm x 18cm (4-3/4" x 7") Score 10cm and 11.4cm (4" and 4-1/2")
- Designer Series Paper 9cm x 5.7cm (3-1/2" x 2-1/4")
- Designer Series Paper 9cm x 7.6cm (3-1/2" x 3")
Form a box with the smaller piece of Cardstock. You will need to trim you sides down to the box edge.
