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.

• 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.

  Most of this card is made with the Florals in Bloom designer paper.  Both large pieces of DSP and the small flowers & leaves are fussy cut from it.  The large flower is die-cut from this DSP using the Pretty Florals dies. See the bundle here.

  My colors include Petunia Pop with Secret Sea and White. 

  Which card do you prefer?

  I didn't create a project sheet for this card so I'll share the measurements here.

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score/fold at 5 1/2"
  • DSP on the left 3" X 4 1/4"; DSP on the right 2 1/2" X 5"
  • White circle die-cut 3" X 3 7/8" (Spotlight on Nature dies)
