2009 Coaster Calendars

October 22, 2008 By Connie | 10 Comments

EDIT:  Since I’ve received several questions, hope this helps.  I charged $2.95 for these at the craft fair.  They are the LARGE size calendars from www.skybluepink.com  and I discarded the first December page because I wanted them to realize they were for 2009 and the Christmas candy canes just didn’t go with the themes.  I just adhere the back to the coaster with adhesive.  Since the calendars are padded, you pull off the month after they are done.

 I made a total of 25 of these coaster photo/calendar binder clip holders for the craft fairs.  I sold out the first one, so made a few more.  I only have 4-5 left from the second fair.  I’ll be taking them with me to sell at the Retreat in a couple weeks.  These were great to make, because again I am using up the tons of retired designer paper and ribbon I have stored.  When the year is done, they can add another calendar or replace it with a photo.

We also made these at my Last Minute Gift Ideas last December (stay tuned, I’ll be offering this class again THIS December with different ideas!)  I covered both sides of the blank coaster with designer paper.  Stampin’ Up!’s glue sticks work great for this.  Then wrapped designer paper around the binder clip.  I added some punched flowers, felt flowers and Rhinestone brads for a little bling.  The ribbons help keep the binder clip closed and holding the coaster.  Fun!

Oh, I purchased the calendars from www.skybluepink.com  I get several dozen from her every year.  I still have some left, so will need to think of a few more things to do with them! 

I have my Punch Class tonight.  We are doing some fun things…I’ll share as soon as I hold the second class in November…don’t want to ruin the surprise for them!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 17 years and will have my 16 year Stampin' Up! anniversary in May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    What a neat idea for using up some coasters (Ive got a huge box of them myself). If you dont mind me asking, what are you selling these coaster calendars for? Thanks for the great ideas you post 🙂

    Connie,

    I enjoy your creativity and your wonderful blog. Thank You for sharing with all of us.
    You truly are an inspiration.
    I love this idea and am in charge of the December Teacher Appreciation (our children’s school do this monthly), and thought I would make these calendar’s up for each teacher and staff member. What size calendar did you order?
    Again, thank you so much for sharing with all of us out here in cyberland.
    Kim

    These are so cute. How did you attach the calenders? Do you mind telling me how much charged for them??

    These are really cute. I have made the binder clips but not the Calendars. I may have to try them also.

    These are great. I love SBP and shop there all the time but never get the calendars in time. Will definitely use this idea for my club. Thanks!

    I wanted to THANK YOU SO MUCH  for putting your information on the Stampinuplns website about the calendars.  I looked at the website and found many things that I need for my son's pages for his trip to China last year, and will be ordering the calendars also!  There are many things that I have not seen anywhere else that I need for those pages!

    Doing a craft fair this week, I have some binder clips and coasters taking up space and I can probably find some DSP!!!!!!      Thanks for sharing this cute idea, and the information about them.
