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.
