Calendar Mini Album–MFT December Release Countdown, Day Three

Welcome back to Day Three of MFT’s Release Countdown! Be sure to check out the MFT Blog for the list of designers with samples for you today, plus a way to win some free stuff :)

Today’s project is a mini album calendar made with a lot of MFT products but featuring several things being released this month:
LLD Journal It – Pocket Calendar, MPD Damask Designs, MPD Damask Designs stencil, Negative Dot Number Die-namics, and LLD Accent It – Months of the Year Die-namics. I was already planning on doing a new calendar before the New Year but when I got these products I knew I couldn’t wait! This post is kinda long, but I wanted to show you all of the pages and elements, so grab a cup of your favorite, sit back, and enjoy.

I’m using a heavy chipboard calendar for this project. For the front, I started by covering it with some Sno Cone card stock. It, and all of the edges on the subsequent pages were distressed with both a sanding block and Kraft ink. Then I applied some molding paste using the new MPD Damask Designs stencil. While it was drying I made my flowers and other details. I cut four small Jumbo Banner Day STAX Die-namics from Black Licorice card stock and added some Negative Dot Numbers Die-namics to them before hanging them all from two strands of hemp cord. I popped them up on foam, then added a Large Leaf-Filled Flourish Die-namics cut from Olive card stock. Other embellishments were made with the Eiffel Tower Die-namics, Designer Labels 3 STAX Die-namics, Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose Die-namics, Mini Royal Roses Die-namics, and Royal Leaves Die-namics using Sno Cone card stock, Kraft card stock, Sweet Tooth card stock, and more Olive card stock. The sentiment is from LLD Document It – Expand Your View and is a combination of two of the sentiments stamped on a First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics flag cut from Sweet Tooth card stock with Black Licorice ink.

OK, let’s move on to the inside. Inside the cover I adhered a piece of Kraft card stock that was stamped with an image from MPD Damask Designs in Black Licorice ink. Then I added a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock cut with LLD Insert It – 3 x 4 Notebook Paper Die-namics and stamped with the lines from LLD Journal It – For the Record with Black Licorice ink. The sentiment at the top is from LLD Journal It – Take Note stamped with Black Licorice ink on Sno Cone card stock and cut with a die from LLD Accent It – Labels and Tabs Die-namics.

The calendar for January was made with LLD Insert It – 3 x 4 Insert Die-namics, cut from Sweet Tooth card stock. The grid, from LLD Journal It – Calendar Basics was stamped with Black Licorice ink and the numbers, from the same set, were stamped with Berrylicious ink. I then cut the month from Black Licorice card stock using LLD Accent It – Months of the Year and adhered it to the top of the calendar. I stamped “JAN”, from the also soon-to-be-released LLD Document It – Pocket Calendar on the tab with Black Licorice ink. And finally, I stamped the January flower from Inspired by Flowers Set #1 with Black Licorice ink.

 

Next we have February and March…

 

…on to April and May with Inspired by Flowers Set #2…

 

…now June and July, where Inspired by Flowers Set #3 comes in…

 

…on to August and September…



…next up in October and November, using Inspired by Flowers Set #4…



…ending with December and the inside back cover, which matches the inside front.



And finally, the back cover. This was also covered with Sno Cone card stock and stamped with the largest image from MPD Damask Designs.




Whew! If you’ve stuck with me this far, thank you! And thanks for stopping by today! Hope to see you back tomorrow for the final day of teasers—I promise it won’t be this long :)
