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 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.

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.

• A unique Puzzle Slider fun fold card with video & free project sheet

  May 13, 2024

  ---

  I shared this neat fun fold card on last week's Tuesday Live video. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a live class on my Facebook page here.  If you're not on Facebook I upload them to my YouTube channel here too. 

  It's called a Puzzle Slider fun fold card

  Save

  It's quite easy to make & I share how to cut & score and assemble it on my video here.  Or scroll down a bit for the free project sheet you can save & print. 

  I chose our new Petunia Pop card stock for my card base & front layer. The pretty designer paper is called Thoughtful Journey and can be seen here. 

  Save

  The greeting image and die-cuts are part of the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  It's my top favorite bundle in the new catalog. 

  Save

  I created a template for the front two puzzle layers of the card. The card base is 9 1/2" X 4 1/4" score at 1" & 2" from each end.
