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.

  • Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

    Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

    Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

    Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

    I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

    Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

    The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

    Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

  • More ideas with the Oh So Ombre DSP & A Touch of Ink stamp set; both FREE for just 5 more days!

    The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper.  Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

    This sliding latch card is quite unique and fun too.  My friend Karen shared it with us at a recent Team meeting and I had to learn how to make it. She found the idea from Chris Slogar.  It's so cool!

    You need the Classic Label punch, Designer paper and a few punched or die-cut images for the front and inside.

    I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set.  I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images.  For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers.  Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.

    This card is so neat!  But you'll definitely want to watch the video below to catch the important 'how to' tips.
