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”
  • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” (or 3 1/2" X 5 1/4" on the above project)
  • Note box 4” X 5 1/8” scored at 3/8” on the short side.  On the long side score at 2 3/8” & 2 ¾”

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.  

*I'll be giving away two easel calendar kits with online orders in February. Details tomorrow!

  • More than Autumn Team swaps for Fall


    Starting tomorrow there’s a 24 hour stamp & stamp tools sale – 15% off a whole bunch of products!

    I’ll post a link to the sale tomorrow. But for now start making your list of stamps you want!

    ~~~

    Today I’m sharing some of my Team swap cards from our September swap.

    First is a cute card made by Joan:

    She used the More Than Autumn bundle seen here.

    Look at her amazing coloring on the cups! And it’s a fun fold with a gift card option too!

    Her colors include Timid tiger, Vanilla with Daffodil Delight. She colored everything with Blends markers. The center panel is the Beautiful Bokeh DSP.

    Measurements:
    – card base 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
    – Daffodil textured layer 4″ X 5 1/4″
    -Timid Tiger accordion fold 9 3/4″ X 4 1/4″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 6 1/2″
    – Vanilla & DSP layers 3″ X 4″

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet card made by Candy who also used this bundle:

    Her colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon & Pumpkin Pie.

    She textured the Lost Lagoon layer with the Plaid 3D embossing folder. The circle is about 2 1/2″ around and is a Stylish Shapes die-cut as well as the greeting die-cut.

    ~~~

    And lastly today is a perfectly Autumn card made by Gwen. It’s her first time swapping! She did a wonderful job!

    Each of these cards features the More Than Autumn bundle and they’re all so unique. It’s a pretty big bundle with a wide variety of images and dies. She used the new Gathering Together specialty paper seen here. She added a center strip under her images that’s 1 3/4″ wide. Cajun Craze with Very Vanilla are her card stock colors. The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    Thanks for stopping in; I hope you enjoyed the card swaps today. I’ll share more soon!

  • A neat vertical ‘Book Binding’ card fold with video tutorial


    Here’s the second card I shared on last week’s video. It’s a neat book binding card that’s vertical instead of the usual horizontal card.

    The colors include Gray Granite & Early Espresso with White. I chose these colors to match the Toile designer paper from the Holiday Catalog. See it here.

    The view above shows the card open. The card starts as a normal 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base but has two extra score lines. See the measurements and directions here on the free project sheet. Click on this link to download or print it.

    I made multiples of this card for an online swap I participated in. I love swapping and making multiples of the same card.

    Click play on the video below to see how it’s made.
