Elvis gift set

 One of my holiday projects this year was to make calendars using these little tear-off calendars from Taylored Expressions. I scored a great deal on some 3.5 by 5 inch acrylic frames and decorated them with some patterned papers and a bit of embellishment before adding the calendars to the front using red line sticky tape. This was a quick and inexpensive project that turned out pretty cute! I'll share some more of these in the next couple of days.

I made a matching bookmark to go with this calendar. Both feature Elvis paper - I picked it up a number of years ago and have used it a few times for some special people in my life who just love Elvis. This set is going to my aunt, a big Elvis fan. The book mark dies and stamp are from My Favorite Things. They make such nice bookmarks, and I just love this sentiment!
Supplies:
Stamps: MFT
Ink: Memento tuxedo black
Cardstock: MFT black licorice, SU amethyst, Elvis DP
Accessories: ribbon, button, twine, MFT bookmark duo dies

Elvis in blue

I've probably mentioned here a few times that my aunt just loves Elvis. So ever since I sent her my first card using this Elvis stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms, she's made it pretty clear she expects a new one each year! I tried to send her a non-Elvis card one year, and she was so disappointed! So now I strive to come up with new versions of Elvis each year. This one features Elvis in retired blue bayou ink and cardstock from SU. I also used a nestie to turn the rectangular image into a circle. Not sure about the layout, but I'm sure my aunt will love it!
Supplies:
Stamps: Elvis, Cornish Heritage Farms
Ink: Blue bayou
Cardstock: blue bayou, neenah white, Echo Park Wintertime dp
Accessories: Nestabilities, ribbon, button
