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!

  • Another pretty card with Winterly Tree Tops; plus video & free project sheet too


    The Stamp Sale is on and ends today (Wednesday).  Get 15% off all Annual Catalog stamp sets!  Click here to see all of our stamps.

    Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video. I chose to feature the Winterly Tree Tops bundle. 

    I love this color combination of Balmy Blue with Cherry Cobbler! 

    In the video I shared how to use our Watercolor Pencils along with our Blender Pens. It's a classic pairing that produces beautiful results with easy shading.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done. 

    Click on the following link to get the free project sheet for this card: Download Winterly Tree Tops Tag

    The little white Snowflakes are from the Holiday catalog; they're called White Loose Snowflakes. Sadly they just ran out of stock but should return in a few weeks.  The White textured die-cut is from the Countryside Corners dies seen here. 

    The Winterly Tree Tops bundle is now back in stock! 


    Do you see the pretty texture?  That's done with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. 

    Below is the video I shared on my Facebook page.  I host a free class there every Tuesday at 11 am CT. It's also on YouTube as well.  Follow me!
