4 Season Easel Calendar with video & free project sheet


Today I'm sharing a super special 4-season calendar card. I cased one I made 10 years ago!  We made this at my December card clubs. 

I stamped the background with the Sparkling Snowflakes set in Pool Party & Pretty Peacock inks. 

It looks like an ordinary card front doesn't it? It actually is with the exception of the latch I added. 

This latch is slipped under the calendar on the inside of the card. The reason why I choose the inside is so it doesn't show on the bottom.  I hope you'll watch the video here or below to see how it's done.  

For the Spring season I used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and colored with Blends markers. 

My smart husband created the calendar for this project.  You can access the 2025 calendar here And the  2026 Calendar here *However you will need to scale your printer to 90% instead of the usual 100%. *please don't ask me how to do this; each printer is different. 

For the Summer season I used the Round we Go set in Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon and Petunia Pop inks.

For the last season I chose to use a layer of designer series paper (Nests of Winter).  In hindsight I could have used DSP on every season.  It would save a ton of time if you're making a bunch at a time.  

Below is the video tutorial for this card; it's helpful to get the tips to make your creating easier.  Don't forget to follow me on Facebook here or my YouTube Channel here.

  • Gatefold Velvet Meadow arches card


    Here’s another neat card sample featuring the Velvet Meadow suite:

    Gatefold cards are a great way to use your pretty designer series paper. Each side measures 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″. I stamped the pretty flowers from the Flowering Meadow bundle seen here on the White arch die-cut; then layered it on the next size larger Peaceful Pine arch die-cut.

    The Arches dies are out of stock currently but will be back.

    I stamped the flowers in Bubble Bath, Berry Burst and Peaceful Pine ink. The greeting is stamped on a strip of White that is layered on the Velvet specialty paper in Bubble Bath color. A pretty but easy card.

    Here’s what the open view looks like:

    The color combinations Stampin’ Up! comes up with in their designer paper continues to amaze me. They make it so easy to make beautiful, coordinating projects.
