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:

Friendly Hello Easel Calendar Tropical Layers Save

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.

  • Do you save your scraps? Look what I did with mine!

    Do you ever save your tiny scraps in the hopes of creating something with them?  When I saw the little petals left from this pretty die-cut I saw a flower in my head.  What do you think?  Would you save them? 

    Thoughtful Wishes flowers Save

     

    This pretty & delicate die-cut is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle in the new catalog. When I prepped cards for a Team Meeting a few weeks ago I had to save the pieces & try this! It features our new 2024-26 In Color Glimmer specialty paper in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This catalog goes live tomorrow!  May 1st!!

    Here are the three cards I made with the finished flowers: 

    Thoughtful Wishes glimmer cards Save

    From left to right the colors are Summer Splash, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop.  

    I glued the petals to a small circle; then added the white center (Zinnia die) over them.
    The large leaf die is from the new Thoughtful Wishes bundle & the circles are from the new Spotlight on Nature bundle (the dotted circle is from Everyday Details).

    Thoughtful Journey flower Save

    The card above is Petunia Pop color.  The pretty designer paper is our new 2024-26 Designer paper pack. I heat embossed the greeting (Spotlight on Nature set) with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. That pop of Black on a card adds a bit of elegance.

    Which is your favorite of these three colors?  Remember you can get in on my new product shares for just 1 more week:  the In Color bundle, designer paper share or an In Color ribbon share. See details below:

    Tip: This card is an easy layout to make use of those thin scraps of designer paper you have. 

    I featured the following new products:

    • In Color cardstock, ribbons, Shimmer gems, designer series paper & inks

    We made these cards at a recent Team meeting; here's a photo of my prepped supplies:

    As you can see we used Blending Brushes on some of the textured White card stock to highlight the pretty new embossing folders.

  • Spotlight on Nature – sneak peak of the fabulous new bundle

    Look at the beautiful card my friend & team member Candy sent me last week.  One of our team challenges was to send RAK cards.  Random Acts of Kindness.  I was very grateful to receive one from her!

    Spotlight on Nature Candy Save

    It's made with a new bundle in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!. It's called Spotlight on Nature.  It includes floral, leaves and butterflies along with pretty sentiments.  And an amazing set of detailed & texture circle dies.  

    Notice her softly sponged background around the flowers & leaves. She used Balmy Blue, Old Olive & Calypso Coral here, coloring in her images with Blends markers.  Note that Olive circle die-cut – you can spy it in the photo below.  

    We're going to love these dies!!

    Spotlight on Nature Candy. Save

    Demonstrators were able to pre-order this gorgeous bundle in April but everyone can order it after May 1st. In fact you could add it to your Starter kit too.

    I'll be sharing more projects with this bundle soon. Thanks for the fabulous card Candy!!
