Easel Calendar with a post-it note box; a fabulous gift idea

• The bright striped paper is also from our Sunshine & Rainbows DSP
• The card stock colors are Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo

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.

• Beautiful cards with the new Perched in a Tree bundle!

  July 25, 2022

  ---

  This bundle was one of my first purchases from the new 2022 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  I love this birch tree die-cut and made a bunch of these cards for an online swap last month.

  Save

  It creates a pretty window of birch trees that can be the star of the card.  I simply sponged a bit of Crumb Cake ink over a few areas and added it to a Pool Party layer. The greeting is also from this bundle and is stamped on a die-cut from the All That dies in the Annual catalog. The angled Soft Suede die-cut behind it is also from the Aspen dies in this bundle.  

  See this bundle here online. Earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice when you purchase this bundle!

  My friend Susie Wood sent me this gorgeous card last week.  She created a fall themed card with Crumb Cake & Cajun Craze.  I LOVE her multicolored leaf! She inked it in a lighter color and sponged Cajun Craze over the upper edges before stamping and fussy cutting it. It and the greeting are both from the Soft Seedlings stamp set seen here. 

  Save

  I hope you enjoyed seeing two totally different projects with this pretty bundle!
