Royal Blog Tour "Every Little Bit"

Hello, Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses!

I hope you are enjoying your tour of the Royal Blog Kingdom! Welcome to my castle! This is my first time with the Royal Blog Tour and I am so excited to be part of this fantastic and talented group of Royal Stampers! I am Princess Angela, an Elementary Pastor and Stampin Up Demonstrator, currently residing in Chandler, Arizona with the wonderful Prince Frankfurter.

My stamp set is "Every Little Bit." I decided early on that it would be fun to make something for the different months. I thought about making a calendar, but that is something most people have seen before. Then, I thought about making something to showcase all the months. The more I thought about it, the more I loved that idea!

I found a frame that would hold 12 little cards. Each individual opening is 2 3/4" by 3 3/4." This is the same size as Artist Trading Cards or ATCs if you've ever made those. The openings allow for a lot of dimension added to this project with ribbon, a button, brads, and Crystal Effects.

There are some constants between each of the months. They all feature "Every Little Bit" in each month. They all have Naturals Ivory or Crumb Cake card stock backgrounds. All of the names of the months are from the "Full Calendar" set. They are all stamped on Naturals Ivory or Crumb Cake card stock, as well, and are punched out with the Modern Label punch. The Basic Black background comes from the Movers and Shapers Punch Windows die. All of the line art images were colored with blender pens and ink from classic ink pads.

After that, each month is different, not featuring any of the same things twice, except for Crystal Effects! It's easier to see a variety of ribbons, hemp twine, brads, a button, punches, and free hand shapes when you view the pictures close up.

Beginning this Wednesday, November 10th, I will share the items used to make the monthly squares.We'll start with January (obvious, I know!) The following Wednesday, I will share how to make the February square. We will continue until all of the months have been explained.

Trust me! Making one month a week would be much easier than making them all at once! You can subscribe to my blog or just check back every Wednesday to get all of the information!

I am offering two blog candy prizes to help you make your own Every Little Bit display!

Please (1) make a comment on my project. Be sure to tell me which month is your favorite. If you would like to leave your email address along with your comment, this is fine.
(2) If you would prefer to keep your email address more private, please email your name and email address to me at
kebord2@gmail.com

(This is a RBT requirement that I must have your email address in one place or the other.)

I will randomly select a winner from someone who fulfills the comment and email address requirement!

One winner will receive all of the ribbon, brads, and the button needed to make your own Every Little Bit squares!

The other will win the months stamped, punched and mounted on the black background!

Either prize will get you on your way to making your own "Every Little Bit" sampler.

If you're wondering about June- June 30th is Frankfurter, my wiener dog's birthday! As you can tell from my blog title, he's a big part of my life. You could use the hammer and nails for Father's Day in the set, but I chose to use the dog instead! All of these bones are Frank's biggest birthday wish come true! The cute little dog can also signify the beginning of the "dog days of summer!"
