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!

  • Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.


    Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile.  It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy. 

     

    I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs.  The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch.  The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog.  It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.  

    I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined.  The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green. 

     

    I share how to make it in the video here and seen below.  Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front.  The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper.  I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out.

    Below is the video if you'd like to see how to assemble this card. I also share a pretty Sophisticated Sled project too.

  • How to use the Sophisticated Sled bundle with free project sheet


    We made this pretty card at my December card clubs.  It features the Sophisticated Sled bundle from our Online Exclusives line. 

    I chose White with Boho Blue as my color combination.  The sled is die-cut from the Country Woods DSP. I also used the Painted Trees embossing folder seen here.  I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the trees. 

    I used stamps from the bundle for the greetings & snowflakes. 

    Before I played with the dies I thought they would be difficult to assemble.  But they're a breeze!  I hope you watch the video below for my tips. The skates are genius!  The laces slip into a slit in the skate die-cut for easy assembly.  

    See this gorgeous bundle here.

    Below is the video tutorial for this project.  Plus check out the fun fold card using upcoming products too!
