New Year New You Webster's Pages June 2014

These are the June pages for the Webster's Pages© "New Year New You" Calendar Class that is held monthly at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington, Illinois.

June Page Left

"Frosted Kiwi" by Bazzill©  will be our background for this page.

We are going to make a pocket that can be used as a place to tuck away photos, ticket stubs, or notes about the month. In order to do that, we will cut the "A New You" (bicycle paper/floral print) on the diagonal, making two equally sized triangles. First of all, cut off the bar code strip from the bottom of the paper. Using a rotary cutting tool, ruler, and mat, OR a guillotine cutter, cut the sheet diagonally from point to point.

Set aside one triangle to be used on a different project.

On the remaining triangle, apply double-sided tape on the two straight edges of the bicycle side of the paper. DO NOT apply tape to the diagonal edge.

Remove the backing from the double-sided tape. Turn the paper over so that the floral print is face up. Align the triangle in the lower left corner of the "Frosted Kiwi" paper, and press firmly on the straight edges. This will make a "pocket" with the opening on the diagonal.

Apply double-sided tape along the diagonal edge of the floral print side of the paper.  Attach pink ruffle ribbon.

Using Stampin' Up!© "Labels" framelet, cut a label from "Passionate" card stock (by Bazzill©).  Attach the June calendar in the center of the label.  Attach in upper right of the page ("Frosted Kiwi" portion). Adhere rhinestones on the label as shown.

Using "London Fog" ink by Memento©, stamp the "Monarch Butterfly" (Stampin' Up!©) onto a piece of white card stock. Color the entire butterfly with Copic© YG03, "Yellow Green". Highlight the shaded areas with Copic© G14, "Apple Green". Blend with "Yellow Green".

Cut out the butterfly. Do not worry about the antennae. Lightly apply silver Smooch© on shaded areas of butterfly wings and body. Allow Smooch© to dry. Attach a green glitter brad to the top of the butterfly's body. Wrap wire around the legs of the brad, then fold brads down over wire to hold it in place. Fashion a pair of antennae from green wire. Apply pop dote on back side of the butterfly.  Attach the butterfly in the center of the floral pocket.

June Page Right

We will be using the "floral frame" side of "Do Your Best" as the page background.

Using Memento© ink in "London Fog", stamp two of the rose image from "Fifth Avenue Floral" stamp set (Stampin' Up!©) onto a piece of white card stock. Using the same ink, stamp three rose leaf images onto white card stock.

Color all three of the leaves with Copic© YG03, "Yellow Green" as the base color. Highlight the stem and veins of each leaf with Copic© G14, "Apple Green". Blend "Yellow Green" over each leaf. Lightly apply silver Smooch© on veins and stems of each leaf.

Color the first rose using Copic© Y21 "Buttercup Yellow" as the base color.  Highlight with Copic© RV11, "Pink". Blend with Copic© Y13, "Lemon Yellow".

Color the second rose using Copic© RV11, "Pink" as the base color. Highlight with Copic© R29 "Lipstick Red". Blend with Copic© R85, "Rose Red". Lightly apply silver smooch near highlighted areas. Allow smooch to dry, or smudge with your finger.

Cut out all roses and leaves. Attach pop dots on the backs of the roses. Use regular adhesive on the leaves. Adhere in the top center of the page.

Apply rhinestones to center of roses.

May Webster's Pages New Year New You Calendar Pages

These are the pages for May Webster's Pages New Year New You Calendar Class that is offered monthly at The Paper Forest Scrapbook Boutique in Washington Illinois.

May Page Left:

May Page Left

We will be using the reverse side of the April page right as the background for this page.

Cut a 12" x 12" piece of Bazzill© "Pinkini" in half vertically.  Attach one of the pieces to the left side of the "Passion" pink card stock. From the other piece, use the "Daisy Chain" punch from EK Success© to make a border. Punch along the longer side of the pink piece, as you will attach the daisy border vertically next to the light pink half of the page. (You may want to run the border through your Xyron© to make applying adhesive easy.)

To Make Pinwheels:

Cut a 2" x  2" square of paper with a print on both sides.
Fold square diagonally to make a triangle.
Then open the square up and make a diagonal fold in the opposite direction.
Cut along each fold mark about 2/3 of the way to the center point.
Fold every other cut section in to the center of the square.
When all four sections are folded in, use a paper piercer to make a hole in the center of the pinwheel.
Insert a brad to complete the pinwheel.

Make three pinwheels for this page.

To Make Stems for Pinwheel Flowers:

From two sheets of the bucket-patterned paper, cut off the green border edge. Leave one at the original 9" length.  Cut the other green border edge into two pieces, one 6" long and the other 3" long.

Attach flowers on "Pinkini" half of the page, placing the 9"stem closer to the outer edge and attaching a pinwheel on top of the stem. Repeat with 6" stem and pinwheel in the middle and then the 3" stem and pinwheel.

Calendar:

Using a piece of "Passion" pink, make a mat for the May calendar. Using the green print on the reverse side of the bucket-patterned paper, make another mat.  Use a pink clip at the top of the May calendar.  Attach in the center of the "Passion" half of the page.

Butterflies:

Using lacy pink doilies from the doily prints, punch out 4 butterflies. Using the leftover "Pinkini" paper, punch out 6 pink butterflies.  Run all the butterflies through your Xyron. Adhere 1 lace butterfly above the second pinwheel flower, angling wings slightly to the right.

Adhere the other three lace butterflies above the May calendar in a triangle formation, with one butterfly at the top, and the other two butterflies slightly below, with wings pointed out.

Below the calendar,  adhere three pink butterflies interspersed with the words:  motivation, perspective, happiness, and endurance.  (The three remaining butterflies will be used on the next page).

Adhere a pink rhinestone to the center of each butterfly's body.

We are going to use the green floral print as our background for this page.

From the reverse side of the "doors" paper, we are going to cut a piece of blue "notebook" paper 7" long x 6" wide. Adhere in the center of the page.

Use the yellow zigzag print to mat the "Never Forget To Follow Your Dreams Even If You Need To Chase Them Down" quote. Punch out three photo corners from the zigzag print. Run the photo corners through your Xyron. Adhere a photo corner on the top two corners and the lower left corner of the notebook paper. Adhere the matted "Dreams" quote at the bottom right corner of the notebook paper.

Adhere one pink butterfly on top of the upper left photo corner, with wings angled up and to the left. Adhere another pink butterfly to the top right corner of the "Dreams" quote, with wings angled up and to the right. Add the last pink butterfly at the junction of the "Dreams" quote and the notebook paper, with wings angled up and to the left.

Add a pink rhinestone to the center of each butterfly's body.
