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! 

This Easel Calendar is the second project I make in the video below. Click on it to watch!

  • Darling Donkey’s Birthday card


    The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now.  So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January.  We made this cute but easy card: 

    The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black.  That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February.  See it here. 

    Both are free with any $50 order!  I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.  

    Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!  

    The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here.  It has lots of fun birthday greetings! 


    You can watch the video for this quick card below.  

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
    • White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4" 

    I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent.  I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue.  The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

  • Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP


    If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:  

    I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live.  I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best!  No die-cuts or punches either!  Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.  

    You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

    Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies.  See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

    I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers.  Love these so much! 

    Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below: 

    I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out.  What do you think?

  • Quick yet beautiful cards with the True Love Designer paper & video


    Sometimes you can let the designer paper do all of the work.  Look at this classy, beautiful card I made with the True Love Designer Paper! 

    This designer paper is all Black & White, full of floral and other prints you can use as is or color like I did above.  Click here to see it online.  

    I heat embossed the greeting and punched the end with our new Treasured Tags Pick a Punch.

    This beautiful stamp set has a gorgeous font and is free with any $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration (SAB).  SAB is a perfect time to purchase from your wish list since you get something FREE with your orders.  See the Heal your Heart set here.   

    I used Daffodil Delight Blends marker to color in the flowers; coloring mainly on the printed lines on the flowers. Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Simple & quick! 

    I also made two more striking cards with this paper and the Pretty Perennials bundle. You can watch the Live video below. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 3" X 4"
