3-D Thursday: Daisy Delight Desktop Calendar
3-D Thursday: Daisy Delight Desktop Calendar with Drawer
Desktop Calendar Design Credit: The Crafty Spark
Welcome to another 3-D Thursday! Today I am showcasing a Desktop Calendar using the popular Daisy Delight Bundle! I found the design on-line (credit listed above) and watched a YouTube video on how to easily assemble it! It took me about 45 minutes to put together, start to finish. It was much easier than I had first anticipated and I am so happy that I created it! (It was a special request from my sister).
Desktop Calendar Supplies:
- Stamp Set | Bundle: Daisy Delight Photopolymer Bundle: Daisy Delight Stamp Set and Coordinating Daisy Punch
- Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder Cardstock, Shimmery White Cardstock (for the Watercolor Daisies), Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper
- Inks: Smoky Slate (for stamped daisy outline only), Old Olive (stamped leaves). The following colors were applied with an Aqua Painter: Wisteria Wonder (daisy petals), So Saffron (daisy center), Calypso Coral (small flowers), Old Olive (small flower center)
- Tools: Stampin’ Trimmer, Simply Scored, Bone Folder
- Adhesives: Tear & Tape Adhesive (drawer construction), Fast Fuse Adhesive (DSP and Cardstock), Stampin’ Dimensionals (Daisies and Calendar).
- Calendar: You can download the pdf of the calendar I used here: 2017 Calendar . I printed it on Copy Paper at a 3 x 5 size. You may need to test a few with your printer settings.
The inside of the drawer measures 5.5 in x 3.5 in, the perfect size for a 3 x 5 Post-It Note Pad (I didn’t have that size on hand) and a standard sized pen! The overall measurements are: 6 in long x 4 in wide x 1.125 in tall, the perfect size to sit nice and pretty on the top of a desk. Here is an overview of the cardstock cuts:
Wisteria Wonder Cardstock Cuts and Scoring (4 sheets needed):
- Cut 2 pieces to 6″ x 4”
-
- these will be used for the base and easel top
-
- Cut 1 piece to 6″ x 8”
-
- score on the long side at 2″ + 4”
- this creates the easel that sits on top
-
- Cut 1 piece to 7 1/2″ x 10 1/2″
-
- scored on the long side (landscape view) at 1/2″ + 1 1/2″ + 2 1/2″ + 8″ + 9″ + 10”
- scored on the short side (portrait view) at 1″ + 2″ + 5 1/2″ + 6 1/2”
- this creates the piece that the drawer slides in and out of
-
- Cut 1 piece to 7 7/8″ x 8 1/8”
-
- scored on the long side (landscape view) at 3 1/2″ + 4 5/8”
- scored on the short side (portrait view) at 1 1/8″ x 6 3/4”
- this creates the actual drawer itself
-

Card Details:
- Card Base is a Whisper White Thick Cardstock cut to 4.25 in x 11 in scored / folded at 5.5 in to make a standard size card.
- 2nd Layer is Old Olive Cardstock cut to 4.125 in x 5.375 in and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Top Layer is Shimmery White Cardstock cut to 4 in x 5.25 in and adhered with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
- All images are from the Daisy Delight Photopolymer Stamp Set. The stems and leaves were stamped in Old Olive Ink. The small flowers were stamped in Calypso Coral and then additional color added with an Aqua Painter. The Daisies were stamped first with Smoky Slate Classic Ink. I stamped off twice before stamping on the Shimmery White Cardstock so I had just a vague outline of the daisy. I then used an Aqua Painter to add the Wisteria Wonder on So Saffron color. I punched them out with the Daisy Punch and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Thank You sentiment was stamped directly on the Shimmery White Top Layer in Old Olive ink. The For Your Kindness sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral.
I snipped a few petals off the daisy so that they would follow the straight line of the top layer of cardstock.

Cast Your Vote! Kylie’s Blog Highlights – A Teacher’s Gift!
Cast Your Vote! Kylie’s Blog Highlights – A Teacher’s Gift!
This afternoon I am participating in the wonderful Kylie Bertucci’s, Austrailia’s Number One Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, International Stampin’ Up! Blog Highlights! Every month, Kylie pulls together a group of Stampin’ Up! Enthusiasts, picks a theme and highlights their creations on her blog! She enables viewers to cast their vote (up to 5 different) on their favorite creation in the line-up! The top 10 picks get to take part in a blog hop with Kylie! What an honor, huh?
This month’s theme is: A Teacher’s Gift. Since my baby goes to Kindergarten this year, I thought it would be fun to make a piece of canvas wall art his teacher could hang in her classroom. I used a couple of my FAVORITE items from Stampin’ Up!: Letters for You Photopolymer Stamp Set, Coordinating Large Letters Framelits Dies, Number of Years Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Coordinating Large Numbers Framelits Dies. I use them all the time! They are well worth the investment! Cards, Scrapbook Pages, 3-D Items, Wall Art! So versatile! The Birthday Memories Suite was the perfect color and theme that I needed to create my Teacher’s Gift!
What do you think? I LOVE the bright colors and the fun nostalgic animals. Since the animals were already printed on the DSP, all I needed to do was crop them out with coordinating dies or fussy cut them with paper snips. It helped to cut my time down in creating this piece! I started with a white piece of canvas that I colored with Basic Black Archival Ink and the Sponge Brayer. All letters were stamped first in Classic Ink, then stamped again with Versamark and Heat Embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
So that being said:
I would be ever so humbled if you were to Vote for Me! #25
The photo above is a view of the piece hanging on a wall in our house! You can put the flagged banner on top or bottom, both work well! I created the flagged pieces by cutting 1 in x 4 in strips of the DSP, flagging the ends with the Banner Triple Punch and then gluing the pieces together over the top of the Basic Black Solid Bakers Twine. The small pieces were the leftover pieces from flagging the ends.
I hope you enjoy what you see! I sure enjoy making and sharing them with everyone. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or leave a comment on this post.

A Bright Wishes Birthday Card for CTS #234
A Bright Wishes Birthday Card for CAS(E) this Sketch #234
Today’s card features the all new Bright Wishes Stamp Set from the 2017-2018 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I jumped on over to the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge Blog to see what the current challenge was to try and gain some layout inspiration….it was exactly what I needed to start my creation.
I have been wanting to use the Bright Wishes set so I could watercolor that beautiful wishing well! I love the greenery and flowers framing the well and couldn’t wait to get my Aqua Painter inked up and get started. When I saw this sketch, I interpreted the circle as a setting sun. So I decided to create the card with the sun setting behind the wishing well…I really like how this card turned out. The sun is subtle but creates a WOW factor. Crushed Curry + Shimmery White Cardstock = Perfect Setting Sun!
Card Details:
- Card Base: Crumb Cake cut to 5.5 in x 11 in and scored / folded at 5.5 in to make a square card.
- 2nd Layer: Soft Suede cut to 5.375 in x 5.375 in and adhered to the base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Top Layer: Shimmery White Cardstock cut to 5.25 in x 5.25 in and adhered to 2nd Layer with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
- Watercolor Background: Created with Acetate, Crushed Curry and Old Olive Classic Ink, Stampin’ Spritzer
- You can see the technique details in my 4th of July Post.
- Setting Sun: Shimmery White Cardstock cropped using the Big Shot and Larges Circle from the Layering Circle Framelits Dies. Colored with Crushed Curry Ink and an Aqua Painter.
- Wishing Well: From the Bright Wishes Stamp Set. Stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. Colored with an Aqua Painter and the following Classic Inks: Soft Suede (my favorite for wood tones), Lemon-Lime Twist and Old Olive (my favorite for greenery), Berry Burst (my favorite for flowers) and Crushed Curry (my favorite for a setting sun). I fussy cut the image out with my trusty Paper Snips.
- Sentiments: Stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink. Happy Birthday is from the Birthday Banners Stamp Set and May All Your Wishes Come True is from the Bright Wishes Stamp Set. The flagged end for the Happy Birthday sentiment was created with the Banner Triple Punch.
- Ribbon: Old Olive 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon; Dainty, Lightweight and Elegant!
- Adhesive: Stampin’ Dimensionals and Fast Fuse.
The Bright Wishes Stamp Set (shown below) has so many wonderful and versatile sentiments that you can use it for several occasions. If you love to watercolor like I do, you cannot beat the wishing well image. So much fun to color!
