Transform a colored image into a greeting card. #freeprintable #freecalendar #cardmaking #cardtutorial
As I sat there, admiring my colorful calendar image for the month of February, I couldn’t help but feel inspired. The vibrant hues and playful design gave me an idea. Why not turn this into a one-of-a-kind, personalized greeting card for a loved one? With a few adjustments, I was able to create a beautiful, unique piece that was sure to brighten someone’s day.

Repurpose your colored calendar into a card and share your work with others. #card #reuse #coloring
This year’s free calendar from Try it – Like it – Create it is an adult coloring calendar. Once the month has passed, please don’t throw away your creation, turn it into a card!
If you haven’t downloaded the free calendar yet, you can do so at the following link. [2023 calendar]
The materials are straightforward, you’ll need a slimline card base, your colored image, a way to cut down the calendar, and some adhesive.
I couldn’t just leave the image as it was, I chose to add some shimmering watercolor paint to a few areas. I bought the watercolors from Temu – they are fantastic metallic-based watercolors available at a great price.
Making the card is pretty straightforward forward but I’ve added a simple way to make a matching envelope with no measurements needed.
The dark green petals around the center have the shimmer added. I love how this project is a kind of recycling project where you can get more mobility from your colored image. What a nice way to share your work with someone special!

Oh, how I want to visit the beach, sand in my toes, playing in the water. It is such a fantastic summer activity. Since I can’t go, I made this shadowbox to remind me of how fun it can be. This shadowbox can be placed on a shelf as a decor item or as a Christmas tree ornament. Wouldn’t it be fun to send to a friend that also loves the beach? Thanks to Maker’s Movement for sending me the stamp and die set, Beach Vibes to use with this project.
Beach Vibes
Materials:
Directions:
I began with a box I made using a past tutorial here. [picture frame SVG]
Using the stamps, I stamped onto white cardstock.
Then I colored the images with alcohol ink markers.
Using a bit of washi tape, I placed the dies and sent them through the Mini Maker from Maker’s Movement.
And here are the pieces all cut-out.
I used Fashion Spray from Marabu and a torn piece of cardstock to color the frame.
Using double-stick tape, I placed the castle into the frame.
Next, I cut a bit of the bottom of the bucket and placed it in the frame with foam tape to lift it up.
I used a double layer of foam squares.
The other shapes were placed with double-stick tape.
And here is the finished piece.
