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.

• 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 love the color combo of Pretty in Pink & Lost Lagoon.  But there are many other things to admire about this beautiful card:

  • the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder seen here
  • the Distinktive stamps that provide two-toned stamped images effortlessly
  • The fun-fold design – it's a book-binding Z-fold! 
  • the greeting is from the new Hearts of Elegance stamp set seen here
  • the pretty Lost Lagoon soft cording seen here

  I used the very center strip on the embossing folder for the Pink textured layers on my cards.
