I just love all the layers, and I think the dark early espresso borders really make this card pop. Let’s not forget a close up of my favorite flower duo.osat card close up

Now on to my project! I made a Perpetual Calendar. It can be used over and over for many years to come! I hope you enjoy it! I used the card board form the back of two past paper pumpkin kits for the front and back cover.Stampin Up, Number of Years, Grateful Bunch, Perpetual Calendar, Back to Basics, Wildflower DSP

I, of course, couldn’t resist adding some Wink of Stella Glitter to the flowers!calendar close up

I just love this Wildflower Fields Designer series paper that you can get free with any $50 purchase from Stampin’ Up! Here are the inside pockets. You can not only write or type all of your special dates on these inserts, but there’s enough give in the pockets to include labels or addressed envelopes behind the special date list.Stampin Up, Number of Years, Grateful Bunch, Perpetual Calendar, Back to Basics, Wildflower DSPStampin Up, Number of Years, Grateful Bunch, Perpetual Calendar, Back to Basics, Wildflower DSP

  4. I watched your video tutorial and wow that is a lot of layers. I really like the design and although I’m not sure I can top 10 layers, I think I’ll try adding more to future cards 🙂

  9. I absolutely love your projects. Your card is what made me realize that my Wink of Stella was not working. All I was getting was a white, not shimmery look. I think I got a dud. SU is sending me a new one. Your calendar makes me want to make a new one of these even though I have one. Great, great projects!

  14. So fantastic Elizabeth!! I love your card-so many beautiful layers! How in the world did you do your calendar? Did you collate it yourself? It’s fantastic that you were able to customize the whole thing and it came out beautifully!
