Design A Plaid press plate set was used to create the backgrounds. Fresh Dye Inks Morning Frost and Evening Grey were used on all three card fronts for the main plaid design. The thin detail stripes were customized for each background; Dew Drops, Frosty Pink and Mint Choc. The design was pressed onto BetterPress Pebbles A2 Panel. These panels are a beautiful, soft grey.
The plaid backgrounds were spattered using a afan brush to apply Distress Stain Brushed Pewter. When dry, they were adhered to black, A2 sized card bases.
The floral images and their labels from January Snowdrop, February Violet and March Daffodil were pressed on the Pebbles panels with Black BetterPress Ink Pad.
A die from the Essential Stylish Ovals Die Set was used to cut the florals and black sheet foam.
A die was selected from this set two sizes smaller to use for tracing. A silver pen from the Gelly Roll Pen Metallic set was used to create a sparkly oval highlighting the floral design.
The florals were adhered to the black foam die cuts.
The 2025 DIY Calendar consists of 24 plates and includes a month calendar for the entire year, as well as weekday and month name plates to complete your calendar. The three plates are easily aligned. NOTE: This calendar can be modified for other years.
The months were pressed using Black BetterPress Ink Pad on dark grey cardstock. They were trimmed and adhered to black foam.
The sentiments from the BetterPress of the Month November were also pressed with black ink on the Pebbles paper. They were cut with the coordinating die and adhered to the base of the stem on each floral.
Picking up the colour used on the thin stripe of the plaid, confetti was added to highlight the floral. They were finished off with Nuvo Crystal Drops Morning Dew.
