Happy New Year!

Amuse Studio is offering six different sizes of downloadable calendars for 2017.  This year the proceeds go to Girlup.org.  Girl Up has partnered with the United Nations to support programs that give girls an equal chance for education, health, social and economic opportunities and a life free from violence.  You can buy just one calendar or all 6.   Get your calendars HERE.  

For this calendar, I decided to get out many of my wonderful dies that I have in my collection.  I decorated each month with a stamp and/or die - what fun!  I started out by printing the 4x4 size calendar on Amuse Studio Kraft card stock.  

All Amuse Studio Products were used to decorate this calendar.

January       Holiday Word Art & Dies

February      Mini Envelope Die, Heart Trio

March          Lucky Stamp set & Dies

April            Bunny Die Set

September   Happy Hello Stamp set & Dies

October       Open If You Dare Stamp set & Dies

I thought this calendar would be a great gift.  For the packaging I used the Amuse Studio Big Numbers Die Set for the 2017 numbers.  The pretty Happy New Year sentiment is from Holly Jolly Greetings and the maple wood tag says Handmade!  I had the black easel in my collection so I included this to wrap up the perfect gift!

Happy Hello

I stamped on wrapping paper to create a pretty fall design.  The Happy Hello stamp set from Amuse Studio has so many pretty leaf images with a mixture of solid and open designs it worked really well for the background on this wrap.  I used Early Espresso from Stampin' Up on the green wrapping paper for a rich dark brown ink.  

I created a tag for the gift using more of the green paper and the Amuse Studio Tag Bundle Die.  The birthday collage stamp is from Hero Arts called Birthday Blackboard H5927.

Fall Thank You's

A couple of super simple Fall Thank You cards using a leaf from the Amuse Studio Happy Hello stamp set.  One card I stamped on Sugar card stock and the other on Vanilla card stock.  I used a clear wink of Stella on the veins of the leaves - hard to see in the photo but it's a sparkly touch!
