December 2018 Paper Pumpkin Alternative

 2019 Calendar with Stand

This months Paper Pumpkin is beautiful but I wanted to make a special gift for someone and I am keeping mine. I simply scanned and printed out the 12 months on Whisper White Card Stock for the 2019 year. This months Paper Pumpkin has 18 months of calendars be sure not to mix up January - June 2019 and 2020.

I made the box 2 inches deep because all the calendars months have embellishments on them and i also wanted to include the easel stand.

To make the box the same size but deeper than the one in this months Paper Pumpkin I used Thick Whisper White Card Stock. Box bottom measures 4-1/2"W X 5-3/4"L X 2" Deep. The lid is just a tad bigger so it fits easily.

Bottom of box measurements... 

8-1/2" X  9-3/4" Thick Whisper White CS.  Score at 2" on all 4 sides

Top of box measurements
6-9/16" X 7-13/16" Thick Whisper White CS  (just a hair over 4-1/2" and 5-3/4")

4-3/8" X  5-5/8" Botanical Butterfly DSP

3 Large butterflies handcut or punch from DSP

36" Grapefruit Grove Organdy Ribbon

All 12 months fit nicely on the gold easel stand.

Calendar Months

To make uniform in size all are backed with the coordinating color CS, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Gray Granite and Grapefruit Grove.

4" X 5-1/4"  Daffodil Delight CS 3 each.

4" X 5-1/4"  Pool Party CS 3 each.

4" X 5-1/4"  Gray Granite CS 3 each.

4" X 5-1/4"  Grapefruit Grove CS 3 each.

3" X  3" Whisper White CS 4 each. (Will cut down later to make 12- 1" x 3" strips)

Stamp each 3" X  3 " Whisper White using the stamps and ink spots from the Paper Pumpkin. I used my own daffodil delight too...just mix and match all the colors then cut them into 1" X  3" strips .

I sponged each calendar, added the stamped strip them decorated on a whim. I used butterflies, flowers, gems, ribbon etc. 

January - April
