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:

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.

• Awesome Otters is perfect with the Simply Marbelous!

  February 26, 2022

  ---

  There are just 2 days left of Sale-a-Bration promotion and I had to share this sweet card my Flowerbug's team member Karen made for our recent swap. The theme was cards featuring animals & fun fold layout. 

  Save

  She used Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight & Gray Granite along with the Hippo & Friends dies. She colored him in with Blends markers.  

  This card is a triangle pop up card.  The front of the card is scored diagonally across it so you can give it a twist to pop it up.  The inside greeting holds it up.  

  The Awesome Otters set is adorable; those critters are so cute!

  Save

  You can see the Awesome Otters set here and the Simply Marbelous DSP here.  They're BOTH free with a $50 order through Monday only.  Then Sale-a-Bration ends! Don't miss out on the deals!!!

• Rainbow of Happiness Easel card with video tutorial

  February 25, 2022

  The other card we made at my February card clubs was this bright rainbow easel card. We have so many wonderful rainbow themed products right now.

  Details:

  • The rainbows and small clouds are die-cut using the Rainbow dies (currently unavailable through March 28th). 
  • The rainbows are cut from the Ombre 12 X 12" Specialty paper in the annual catalog (seen here). 
  • The clouds are punched using the new Cloud punch from either the Simply Ombre DSP, the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP or the Supple Shimmer paper. *The cloud punch matched the Sunshine & Rainbow DSP perfectly! 
  • The stamped images are from the Rainbow of Happiness & the Celebrating You stamp set; both in the 2022 Jan-June catalog
  • The DSP inside the card is the Sunshine & Rainbow paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog; it's free with any $50 order. 
  • They could add either raindrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials or the Artistry Blooms sequins. 
  • The frame was made by cutting a rectangle from a 4" X 5 1/4" Basic White CS with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  

  Have you noticed this gorgeous glimmery specialty paper in the annual catalog?  It's perfect for rainbows & that touch of glitter.

  You can see the glimmer better in this close up.

  Did you know the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP coordinates with our new Cloud punch?  The cloud punch is currently unavailable but it will be back after March 28th. 

   See the DSP here; it's so happy & bright.  Remember it's retiring after Monday; the last day of Sale-a-Bration.  It's free with any $50 order.

  They could add greetings inside the easel if they wanted to.  We used Night of Navy ink for all greetings.
