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.

  • Pretty Team card swaps you don’t want to miss!

    Today I'm continuing the March Team swap shares. Our theme was Online Exclusives and wow; did they show these products off! 

    First is a stunning card made by Jonna who chose to feature the Magnolia Mood bundle seen here. 

    March Jonna Magnolia Save

    Her colors include Bubble Bath, Pebbled Path & Lost Lagoon. Her floral image is colored amazingly!  She added a loop of the Bubble Bath ribbon and underneath the flower is a die-cut from the bundle. Her embossing folder is the Softly Sophisticated that is retired now.

    Next is a fun fold card made by Paula. She featured the Friendship Royalty set seen here.  

    March Paula Save

    This set and the Bright & Beautiful designer paper are not in our Online Exclusives but in the Annual catalog. She folded back the front fold 1" and added Bubble Bath CS to it.  The front dies are from our Nested Essential dies seen here. 

    Here's the inside view which I love! 

    March Paula Save

    That wand she created to add over the swirly stars image is genius!  I just love her creativity!  

    Stop in tomorrow to see two more of our March Team swaps. You don't want to miss them!

  • Check out the many OnStage gifts, new products & In Colors!!

    I had a fantastic time at OnStage in Houston with some of my Team last weekend. We spent three full days there and enjoyed fabulous displays, presentations and more.   I thought I'd share some of the photos, products and gifts I received.  

    Us 5 at OnStage Save

    I'll share more in detail on my FB Live later today. See it here on my page or later on YouTube.  I'll also share a bunch of swaps too! 

    Ribbon display Save

    This was the ribbon display; it was huge and so pretty!  Do you spy any new colors here??

    DSP display Save

    They did two walls of designer paper in rainbow colors.  These are not grouped in their paper packs but in color hues.  What do you think of the background color?  

    Now for some upcoming new products….  Remember these were gifts for OnStage attendees and are not available to others yet.  The new Annual catalog goes live on May 1st, 2024. 

    And here are the 5 new BEAUTIFUL In Colors for 2024-2026.  

    2024-26 In Colors Save

    They're just fabulous and will be super popular!  From left to right, their names are Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink (yes it's back from years ago), Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock.  

    I'll be offering a special in April on the In Color card stock, ink pads, refills, gems and more.  Stay tuned for the details. I usually bundle it all and offer free ribbon or markers with purchase.  

    We have a new color wheel!!

    Color wheel Save

    We had one many years ago and this tool can be super helpful to those who struggle with color combos.  I'll be sharing ways to use this tool in the near future. 

    Below is most of what I received while there.  A few items are from prize patrols and a bonus class and some were in our beautiful new backpack when we checked in.  *do you spy anything that doesn't belong here? 

    Everything Save

    The big peach case is a super neat craft box! I'll share more details on most of these items in my video today.  

    Spotlight On Nature bundle Save

    This was a bundle I chose for my bonus class Thursday night.  We received a bunch of products to create with including the new In Colors shown above.  I love both the stamps & dies here!  

    Lily Pond Lane DSP Save

    This was my Prize Patrol surprise – a set of 6" Lily Pond Lane designer.  It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite with a stamp set & dies bundle & pretty gems. 

    Here's a photo of the new & beautiful Annual Catalog cover:

  • Simply Zinnias dies are the focus of this easy fun fold

    I shared this striking card on last week's Live video. I focused on the Flowering Zinnias suite.  

    Simply Zinnias Save

    My colors include Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Black, Flirty Flamingo & White.  

    I textured the Melon Mambo layer with the new Zinnia 3D embossing folder and created the two flowers & leaves from the Simply Zinnias dies.  See all of the Zinnia products here. 

    The greeting is from the new Comforting Thoughts stamp set seen here.  I LOVE this set!  It includes so many greetings I'd actually use!
