December 2012 My Digital Studio Club!!

This 40+ minute video will be helpful in explaining some of the little tips and tricks I used in creating your December Club calendar project.

order your DIGITAL DOWNLOADS ONLINE

from my website anytime.

Per my note in my December 1st MDS Club post, Stampin’ Up! is no longer allowing me to offer an embellishment packet with MDS projects. They have told me this is considered a “kit” and MDS images are not allowed to be included in a kit or a class hybrid project, so your December Calendar is a finished project “as is” or you are welcome to hybrid onto it with your supplies. I have included photos of ideas for adding hybrid embellishments onto your calendar below.

Ideas for adding hybrid elements to your calendar pages:

punched mittens with the Mitten Builder punch, holiday catalog, pg 11, #127824

Glimmer hearts with the heart punch #117193 and Red and Silver Glimmer paper

add pearls to the umbrella, #119247

Add silver and red glimmer stars to your July page with the Merry Mini’s punch pack star punch, holiday catalog, pg 6, #126882

use the oval punch and Polka Dot parade DSP to add a pumpkin to your Oct. page. Add Limeade Baker’s Twine, too!

Add leaves or acorns with the Champagne Glimmer paper (#127885) and the Autumn Accents big shot die (#127812) – both in the Holiday Catalog.

Add a cute paper punch art snowman to your December page, using scallop and circle punches as well as the Ticket punch for the hat. Use pearls or brads for the buttons and your choice of red ribbon if desired.
