This post was originally posted in December 2019. But the content/tutorial is all still relevant this time of year (just not the poppy paper, but the dies are still available). Enjoy the project! Each month for Club, we make two cards and a 3D project. This month’s 3D project was desktop calendars. They were a big hit! (and really easy to make). We used the new Poppy paper and die set that will be available in January. Any papers and punch outs will work (but I really love the poppies).
I filmed a video on how to make these desktop calendars so you can make them too. I made several that I am giving for Christmas this year. Under the video are the measurements and list of materials I used. Remember, the poppy paper and dies will not be available until January 2, 2020, so they do not have links attached, but they do have item numbers listed.
If you do not have a demonstrator and are interested in receiving this new 2020 catalog, please send me a message and I will be happy to get one to you.
