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.

  • 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.

  • Boughs of Holly Suite projects; with a special fun fold you’ll be amazed at!

    I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!  

    These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card:

    Oct marilyn Leaves of Holly Save

    Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

    Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

    Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

    Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.  

    Oct Paula BoughsofHolly Save

    The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

    The dimensions are:
    • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
    • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
    • Banish all score lines toward the center
    • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

    It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.  

    Oct Paula Boughsof Holly Save

    Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

    The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

    So creative and unique!

  • Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

    This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event.  I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!  

    Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!  First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. 

    Oct Candy Country Wreath Save

    Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake. 

    Details:

    • It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.  
    • She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 
    • Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

    Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle. 

    Oct mary Country Wreath Save

    A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card.  Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

    The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square.  Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square. 

    She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

    Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.  

    Oct Roxann Christmas Barn Save

    Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow.  She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.  

    Here's her inside view:

  • Merriest Moments & Spruced Up Christmas card ideas

    This week it's all about sharing October's Team swaps with a Christmas theme.  I know you love seeing what they make as much as I do!

    First is a gorgeous card made by Kim with the Merriest Moments stamp set & Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder.  These products were a bundle in last year's Holiday catalog, but this year they are offered separately.  

    Oct Kim MerriestMoments Save

    She used Starry Sky and White card stock with beautiful Silver embossing on the greeting and some of our gorgeous Silver mesh ribbon under the center panel.  

    Did you know you can cut and emboss card stock at the same time with our Hybrid embossing folder & dies?  See them here; it's sooo cool! 

    Oct Kim Merriest Moments Save

    Absolutely stunning!

    Next up Paula used the same dies and stamp set, plus she added the Christmas Banners bundle to it as well.  

    Her colors are Real Red with Garden Green & White.  

    Oct Barb Meriest Moments Save

    She turned it into a fun fold too but scoring the front panel one extra time at 2 1/8".  Look closely at the many die-cuts she has here! 

    Next is a beautiful card made by Brenda in blues & white with lots of layers.  

    Oct Brenda SprucedUp Save

    She used the Spruced Up bundle seen here for the trees with lots more product as well.  

    Details:

    • Twigs & Springs embossing folder for the large White layer (seen in the annual catalog here)
    • She embossed her Vellum card stock with the Wintry 3D embossing folder
    • The DSP is the Storybook Gnomes seen here
    • That iridescent Snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes seen here; all cut & ready for you & a great value!
