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!

  • 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store


    Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

    You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits. 

    My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!

  • A beautiful card with Thankful Garden bundle & masks – with lots of tips in the video!


    Today I'm sharing the cards we made at my March card clubs.  I also shared it in last week's video. 

    I featured the Thankful Garden bundle from our Online Exclusives.  This bundle includes a stamp set, coordinating dies and the set of 5 masks.  Click here to see it online.  

    I shared quite a few helpful tips on using these masks in the video here.  Using them with our Blending Brushes truly makes you feel like an artist!  You get the multi-colored & layered effect so easily. 

    The greetings here are from the Unbounded Love stamp set.  My colors include Fresh Freesia, Black, Lemon Lime Twist and Balmy Blue.  

    Can you notice the 4 differences between the cards below?  Which one is your favorite? 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another neat fun fold layout.
