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.

  • Cheers & Sips card with the Everyday Arches dies; video & free project sheet too!

    A simple fun fold with the Everyday Arches dies and the Cheers & Sips suite.

    I fussy cut the two drinks from the designer paper for the front arch.  The inside arch has the drink, umbrella and greeting stamped from the images in the set.  The card base is Old Olive and scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". To get the arches lined up I encourage you to adhere the inside arch first and then close the card.  Now adhere the front arch to match. Easy!

  • Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial

    You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.  

    Cheers Celebratory Sips fold Save

    It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.  

    I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here.

    The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.  

    Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.

  • 3 Stamping Tips you need to know!

    I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

    • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
    • standard card sizes and layers
    • which ink to use when coloring with markers

    First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

    I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

    Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

    Which ink to use for coloring Save

    I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

    • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

    ~~~

    Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

    1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
    2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
    3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp.

    *I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.
