DIY Stamped Desktop Christmas Calendar

For our December Count Your Blessings theme, I decided to create a Christmas calendar to display on my desk at work.  I picked up the wooden printed art at the Dollar Tree.  I used GeeSso Good! to paint the entire board.  I reversed it to create a shadow box.

Inside I stamped Snowflake Lace repeatedly and embossed in white.  I went over the edges of the panel with white chalk for a chalkboard effect.

I painted a sheet of corrugated board with Snow White Metallic Paint and raised it up using more cardboard beneath.  I wrapped a red ribbon around the panel and tied a loopy bow.  I used a purchased flower and die cut holly to further embellish.  I stamped the largest frame in the Vintage Frame stamp set in Fired Brick Distress Ink and layered over another die.

I computer generated the dates and printed onto sticky paper, then cut with a circle punch.  Each day I will simply adhere the date over the previous date.

I mounted the deer from the Winterland Wood stamp set above the panels for extra dimension.  I added a few snowflake dies to complete the project.  These were also rubbed with chalk.

There's still time to pick up the Winterland Wood stamp set before the holidays!  Visit indigoblu.com today for yours!

Happy Holidays card with Emmy

Hello everyone!

Emmy here today with a winter card I created with the amazing IndigoBlu products. This month is all about the Christmas spirit.  

To create the background of my card I stamped the Snowflake Lace Red Rubber Stamp with FlitterGlu on white cardstock and heat embossed the set using white embossing powder. Once the project has cooled down I colored the cardstock with a mixture of Super This Slap It On medium and Blue Luscious Pigment Powder.

I stamped the large reindeer from the Winterland Wood Red Rubber Stamp - by Kay Halliwell-Sutton with FlitterGlu on a white cradstock and used Megaflake Royal Peacock to colour the image. 

Then I stamped one of the frames from the Indigoblu Vintage Frame Red Rubber Stamp by Kay Halliwell-Sutton using FlitterGlu and silver embossing powder.
