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. 

Save

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. 

Save

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.

• Another Positive thoughts card; in a unique color combination

  January 14, 2020

  ---

  I have no idea where I came up with this color combination.  I started out with the Petal Pink because I wanted to use the gorgeous champagne edged ribbon.  Maybe I was avoiding green; but the Basic Gray looks beautiful with the Petal Pink!  

  Save

  The Positive Thoughts stamp set is so easy to play with; the images are soft yet detailed which is totally my style. That embossing folder is called 'Coastal Weave'.  It's a free gift to everyone who places an online order over $65 this month (detailed below). 

  AND, they are coming out with dies to coordinate with this stamp set in February!  I'm so excited about them.  It includes 11 dies for each of the images in the set plus more!  A stitched rectangle, a detailed edgelit and more botanical images.  You'll love them!  They will be for purchase; they're not part of Sale-a-Bration.  

  Save

  Besides the pretty images the greetings put me over the edge to buy it.  I know I'll use them a lot.

• Stitched So Sweetly & Positive Thoughts

  January 13, 2020

  Yesterday I shared one version of this card and here is the other.  I had extra background pieces stamped so I tried something else.

  Save

  I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.  

  And here is the first version:  Which do you prefer?  This (above) or that (below)? 

  Save

  Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

• Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!

  January 10, 2020

  ---

  This Positive Thoughts stamp set seems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away!  Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards. 

  Save

  I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of. 

  Save

  This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in.  I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration. 

  I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog!  See them here.

  Save

  I'll share a second version of this card with you tomorrow.
