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!

  • Jar of Flowers Double Flap Fun-fold card with video!


    The Jar of Flowers bundle is pretty neat and easy to create wonderful cards with.  We made these cards at my June card clubs.  It was sooo great getting together with my gals again. North Dakota is open to events again but we are still being cautious too.  

    You can really see the details on the card in this close up view.  That neat texture is the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  The colors are Misty Moonlight with Bumblebee and the In Good Taste designer paper. 

    There are sooo many wood, texture and patterns in this big pack of In Good Taste paper.  It is amazing!  Here's a good view of this paper.  

    Here's another version of the card using the jar and water image but the flowers are from the Tasteful Touches stamp set.  This card was for those who didn't want to color. We added punched flowers using the Confetti Flowers Border punch seen here.  After punching we added a dot of Navy ink for the centers. 

    For this fold all I did was trim off an inch from the card front and add a flap that is hidden by the strip of In Good Taste DSP.  This flap is what the front panel is adhered to. Watch the video below! 

    The cards are finished off with a greeting from the Lovely You bundle – this is one of my favorite bundles!  I love the Pick a Punch and the Lovely You stamp set is full of wonderful greetings. 

     

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
      In Good Taste DSP 1" X 5 1/2"
      White – front and inside 4 1/8" X 3", scrap for greeting is 1/2" wide
      Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 4 3/8", flap is 1 3/4" X 3 1/2" scored at 1/2"

  • Blossoms in Bloom; puzzling it together?


    Here's an incredible card featuring the Blossoms in Bloom bundle made by my Flowerbug's team member Jacki for a new catalog card swap.

    I just love these colors together; Just Jade and Misty Moonlight.  

    Can you tell that she stamped the large floral image on her White CS using Misty Moonlight?  Then she added die-cut layers in White, Misty Moonlight and Just Jade.  Yes; she cut out three dies for each card and puzzle fit them over the stamped image!!!  Amazing, but stunning!

    I believe she cased this card from Pinterest; made by Mary Detherage.

  • Colorful Sunflowers the easy way!


    Marilyn made this pretty card with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (seen here) for one of our latest Flowerbug's Team swaps.  I believe she found the idea on Pinterest.  I love how it features 4 of our new In Colors! 

    The card base is Bumblebee.  She added Black card stock and ink to pull the colors together.  Here is a tip: stamp the sunflower on 4 different colored squares and then cut them into smaller squares.  You'll get enough stamped pieces for 4 cards!

    Measurements:

    • Bumblebee card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White – 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Black 3 3/4" square
    • Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Cinnamon Cider and Bumblee – 3 1/2" squares for stamping. Then cut into 1 3/4" squares to puzzle piece on each card.
