Easel Calendar with a post-it note box; a fabulous gift idea

I love these Easel calendars; they're a great gift and actually fun to make too.  I was inspired by my friend Melissa's project; see it here.  

Easel Calendar card measurements

• Card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”.
• Easel 4” X 4” scored at ½”, 2” & 3 ½”
• DSP 4” X 5 ¼” (or 3 1/2" X 5 1/4" on the above project)
• Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side.  On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”

Here are some details:

• The unique scallop edges & cute tag are both made with the Brilliant Rainbow dies – it's part of the Rainbow of Happiness bundle. 
• The large clouds are punched with our new Cloud Punch. One is punched from the Supple Shimmer specialty paper and the other from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP/ It's free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. See it here. 
• The bright striped paper is also from our Sunshine & Rainbows DSP
• The card stock colors are Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo
• The calendars were purchased from Taylored Expressions. 

Here are the other two I shared using the Friendly Hello bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion:

  

Totally different looks from the same Friendly Hello designer paper.  You can go soft or bold with it! 

On the top right I added the stamped image from the Friendly Hello stamp set (part of the free bundle during SAB) and on the top left I added a few die-cuts from the Tropical Layers dies seen here.  I think they coordinate wonderfully.  

*I'll be giving away two easel calendar kits with online orders in February. Details tomorrow! 

This Easel Calendar is the second project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

• Finally! We’re getting a new Stampin’ Positioner!

  January 23, 2026

  ---

  Stampin’ Up! has created a new Stampin’ Positioner for us! Since they had to take the Stamparatus off the market we’ve been waiting for a new tool for perfect stamping. Well, it’s now here!

  

  As you can see in the photo above it’s a brand new design. It has two clear plates, easy to use magnets and a brand new ‘press’ type mechanism.

  Right now for those who are a Demonstrator, it’s available to pre-order until February 2nd for $49. After that, the new Stampin’ Positioner will be added to the Starter Kit FREE in February!

  The cost of the Starter Kit is $99 and includes $125 in product of your choice. But in February, they’ll add in the new Stampin’ Positioner to ALL Demo’s starter kits!

  This is super exciting for us Demo’s now and also for those that join in February!

  

  It sounds like the general population will have to wait to get theirs…. but they promise it will be available sometime later this year to everyone.

• Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

  January 20, 2026

  ---

  I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

  

  The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

  I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
  Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

  I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

  I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.
