Hi there! This month I have the honor of joining The Greetery again to showcase some amazing new products from their These Are The Days release available tomorrow, July 30th.
I’m sharing a few custom birthday calendar cards using the new Calendar Basics Stamp Set along with the Birth Month Blooms Stamp Sets. There are four different Birth Month Blooms Stamp Sets, one for each quarter. These are beautiful floral layering stamp sets. Above I stamped the rose and below I used the Hawthorn, which is technically the month of May bloom, but here I used it for an August birthday.
I used the Calendar Basics Stamp Set on each card to make a little calendar and added hearts or dates to the recipients birthdate. For the cards above and below I also used the Calendar Grid Stencil to add color to the grid. I also flicked some distress inks above in Antique Linen and below in Peacock Feathers.
My last card also uses the Spiral Bound dies to add the trim at the top of the panel. I stamped several blooms for this card and embossed the sentiment from One Fine Day in gold onto white. I added a linear calendar to the card on the upper left side of the cream cardbase. It’s hard to see clearly in the photo, but the video shows it in a bit more detail.
Here is a video showing how I created these cards.

July 29, 2024 at 8:06 amLaura, your cards are absolutely beautiful. I love the little calendars… I used to make my friends a 12-month Calendar set for Christmas. I’ve kind of gotten out of the habit. These beautiful floral of the month sets might put me back into that habit. I absolutely love the September Happy Birthday card with the rainbow of color in the grid. I like too that only the Birth Day date is on the 1st September card and the August card… so clever. Thank you for sharing.

Bo Gilmore
July 29, 2024 at 9:25 pmHI Laura. Your projects are just beautiful. What a wonderful way to use this release. I like how you circled a date on the calendar to focus on and then add the sentiment. I make about 25 Anniversary cards and this is a great idea. I will find a little anniversary sentiment. I am always looking for new ways to make Anniversary cards each year so I never send the same one twice.

August 9, 2024 at 8:28 pmLove the cards! And funny story – I just watched this video with my 82-year-old mom who had hip replacement surgery yesterday. I’m hanging out with her at her house for a few days while she recovers.
