I love altering kits. But the Perpetual Beauty Calendar kit was one that I wanted to recreate as instructed. I absolutely LOVE it! So what am sharing today? Well, there were a few leftover pieces after assembling the calendar. And today I’m sharing with you what I created with those pieces. I’m also sharing tips that will make creating your calendar a bit easier. And I thought I’d show you another option if you want to use the kit leaf images for cards and make your perpetual calendar a little more focused on a “celebrations” theme.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago my tips and instruction for all these ideas using the contents of the kit and a bit of other coordinating Stampin’ Up! product. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos of the cards that follow, check out the measurements & products list below for those cards, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for the extra cards I demonstrated. And scroll further down for a complete list of products I featured in this video linked to where you can shop for them in my online store.
