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”

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.

  • Need a new Stampin’ Up! Catalog? Plus an accordion fun fold card with video & free project sheet!

    It's an exciting time for those who love Stampin' Up! products….. the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog can be seen online tomorrow (Wednesday) by current Demonstrators.  

    We get to see the newest 2023-25 In Colors, which current colors are leaving, which colors are filling in our color lines (it usually includes some returning In Colors and some brand new colors)! 

    Color refresh Save

    Wednesday I'll be announcing which colors are leaving along with the retiring list of the current/retiring Annual catalog products so you stay informed.  Remember that these retiring items are while supplies last.  Do NOT WAIT to order.  I have many people who are disappointed that they missed ordering items they really, really wanted. 

    Request a catalog Save
    *If you do not have a current Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and want a new Annual Catalog let me know by Thursday, March 30th.  They are free to my current customers (those who've ordered from me within the past 6 months) or just $5 for me to send you one.  You can pay via PayPal or Venmo. 

    ~~~

    The last Monday of each month I have a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my Facebook page here.  A day or so before the Live I share the project we're making so those who want to stamp along with me can do so.  Others can watch and create later.  

    After the video I provide a post where everyone who makes the project can share their version.  All who do are entered in a drawing for a free prize from me.  Click here to see all of the Floating Panel cards from February's Live.  

    This month I chose another fun fold card – an accordion card that really shows off both sides of your Designer Paper!  

    True Beauty. Accordion Save
    I used the Awash in Beauty designer paper seen here.  I also used the True Beauty bundle as well. See it here. 

    True Beauty. Accordion Save
    The greeting tag is a die-cut from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.  The ovals are from the Framed Florets dies seen here.  

    I created a free project sheet for this card too. Download Accordion DSP card project; March 2023

    Here are the measurements:

    • DSP 5 1/4" X 11 3/4" – score at 1 3/4", 4 3/4" and 7 3/4".  
    • Card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" 
    • inside stamped layer 2" X 5 1/4" 

    True Beauty Accordion Save

    I added an inside White layer to stamp and sign on. I used Melon Mambo & Old Olive markers to ink the flower bud image before I stamped and die-cut it.

  • Growth Takes Time with Radiating Stitches dies; & free project sheet!

    On last week's FB Live I shared three cards featuring the new Online Exclusive products. A few are already out of stock but they are ordering more. You can see them all here.  

    Today's project features two of them.  Radiating Stitches dies and Growth Takes Time stamp set.

    I chose to use the Sun Prints designer paper along with a Navy, Gray Granite & White color theme.

    Heads up! The Sun Prints Designer Paper is on low inventory; I wonder if they'll run out of stock soon.  

    SUN PRINTS 12” X 12” (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    I stamped the tree and greeting (Charming Sentiments) using Night of Navy ink.  I did not color in the tree; sometimes it's okay to keep it simple. The ribbon here is the Navy bordered ribbon in the Spring catalog; seen here.  It's soft and easy to work with. 

    I used three of the Radiating Stitches dies on this card. See them here.

    I love trees so it was an easy decision to purchase the Growth Takes Time stamp set.  See it here.

  • Two-Tone Flora with Elegant Borders dies & a FREE project sheet!

    In preparing my make & takes for my March Team meeting I knew I wanted to focus on the new Online Exclusives. I looked at the samples online for the Elegant Borders dies seen here and found this card made by Stampin' Up!'s artists:

    ELEGANT BORDERS DIES Save
     

    I decided to use the Two-Tone Floral bundle instead of the Pansies and came up with this card: 

    Elegant Borders & Two-tone flora Save
    Using samples from our printed catalog or online store can make stamping easier. Use a layout, technique or color combo as your inspiration.  My colors include Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Soft Succulents and Poppy Parade. 

    Isn't that elegant border die gorgeous?!   I also used to for the envelope flap edge. See the Elegant Border dies here.

    The upper and lower pieces of DSP are from the Pretty Prints; soon to retire from the Annual catalog.  See it here. 

    PRETTY PRINTS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    It includes some of my favorite colors – Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.
