Create a beautiful Starry Night calendar just in time for the new year!
The clever folded design makes it easy to mail and the easel mechanism allows the recipient to display it proudly on a desktop.
Starry Night Calendar
Score a 6-1/4x8-1/2" Dk. Blue paper horizontally at 3, 6 and 8".
Flip the paper from top to bottom and score at 7".
Fold along each of the score lines being sure to "bury the bump" on the inside of the fold.
Add Bookbinding Glue dispensed from a Needle-tipped Applicator along the outside of the 1/2" scored area.
Fold the first 3x6-1/4" scored area over on to the tab and burnish to ensure proper adhesion.
The result is the folded easel card base.
Embellishment Tips
Trim a Gold Handmade paper to 2-3/4x6", center, and adhere to the front of the easel.
Dust a 2-1/2x5-3/4" Bright Blue panel with anti-static powder.
Stamp the landscape image onto the left side of the panel with Watermark Ink.
Sprinkle the image with gold embossing powder. Tap the back of the panel lightly to remove any excess powder.
Melt the powder with a heat tool.
Download a free 2025 mini calendar and print on text weight copy paper. Trim each individual month to 2-1/4x2-1/2". Stack the pages together and secure with binder clips. Run a line of Bookbinding Glue along the top edge to "pad" the pages. Once dry, repeat the gluing process twice more. Set the pad of pages aside to dry completely before moving to the next step. Once dry, Bookbinding Glue is flexible making it perfect for creating paper pads.
Adhere the calendar to a 2-3/8x2-5/8" Lt. Yellow panel.
Align the calendar along the right edge of the embossed panel leaving an 1/16" reveal.
Stamp the sentiment onto white paper with Sapphire Ink.
Cut out the sentiment with an oval shaped die. Stamp the starry sky image around the perimeter of the sentiment with Yellow Ink.
Die cut a larger oval in Lt. Yellow paper. Wrap a small length of ribbon around the oval and secure to the back side with clear tape.
Add foam circles to the back of the white oval.
Remove the backing and center onto the Lt. Yellow oval.
Tie a small knot in a second piece of ribbon. Add a mini glue dot to the back of the knot.
Adhere it along the left edge of the nested ovals.
Center and adhere the embellished embossed panel over the Gold Handmade paper to complete the card. I also made a second calendar for my January Birthday Card Swap buddy.
