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.

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.

• Quick cards with the Stack & Cut template! Video & measurements too!

  October 10, 2022

  ---

  I featured the Stack & Cut template for this project from last week's Stamp Camp class.  Scroll down to see the template; it's one of my favorite ways to use designer paper and for quick cards too!  

  Save

  I chose to feature the Celebrate Everything designer paper for a colorful thank you card.  Here are the products I used: 

  • Greetings are from the Charming Sentiments stamp set
  • Leaves are from the Simply Fabulous stamp set
  • The white die-cut is from the Painted Label dies. The Poppy Parade circle is 2 1/4"

  Save

  And here is the template.  Remember that you can use just one piece of DSP for one card; or stack two pieces and get 2 cards.  This works best with double sided designer paper.  

  Save

  I hope you try making some Stack & Cut cards soon.  Like I said it's a wonderful way to use your designer paper.

• Christmas Card Class – Attend class or get the pre-cut kit & tutorial!

  October 7, 2022

  ---

  Each year I offer my local gals at least 3 Christmas card classes so they can create beautiful cards to send to their family & friends. I also offer my long distance customers a chance to get these same cards in a pre-cut kit & tutorial as well.  

  Here are the beautiful cards for October's class:  

  Save

  I love the variety – from cute to beautiful; they satisfy all of your holiday card needs.  

  For these cards I used the Christmas Season (2022 Annual Catalog), the Christmas Scottie, Sweet Candy Canes and Peace to You stamp sets from the 2022 Holiday catalog.  You can substitute other sets for these if you'd like to.  

  The local class is on Saturday, October 29th at 10 am.  Cost is $25 and you'll make 3 of each card with stamped, coordinating envelopes too.  RSVP to attend  by Thursday, October 20th please.  

  The pre-cut kit to go includes 12 cards, all cut, die-cut & punched pieces.  It includes ribbons but not gems, texturing or stamped images. The cost is $25 plus shipping. 

  Go here to get the kit to go; while supplies last.  

  You can combine kits and save on shipping.  You can see them all here.  

  I am not offering the PDF tutorial separately at this time. 

  I just love these cards!!
