10th Anniversary Project #7 and #8

Do you need an easy holiday gift? Then this is it!  A simple easel card holds a little tear-off monthly calendar (purchased from Taylored Expressions) and a pad of 3x3 post-its. You can customize it with any Designer Series Paper you have and any stamp set you have that has a saying you like. It is a great way to use up retired products you have in your collection. Give this a try!

Cutting Measurements:

Your choice of cardstock - 2 pieces 

One is 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2"

The other is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"

2 pieces of Designer Series Paper - both cut at 4" x 5-1/4"

The rest is up to you on how you want to decorate underneath the calendar.

Assembly Hint:

Fold your card base at the middle score line. Attach the 4-1/4"x 5-1/2" cardstock to the lower section of the front with tear and tape or Stampin' Seal +, but do not go above he 2-3/4" score line. This is how you create the easel affect when the card is opened to secure the front behind the post it pad.

If you want to finish off your gift with a pen, that would be a nice touch!

Joyful Christmas Easel Card

After much time looking at Pinterest with what other creative people were posting using this stamp set, I designed this card with layout inspiration from SU Demo, Sharon Burkert.  I'd also been wanting to try heat embossing on the vellum cardstock and I was very pleased with those results. It's not hard at all. I added the color by sponge dauber on both the front and back sides of the paper, then fussy cut the poinsettia (x2) and leaf (x2). Use dimensionals to give height to the layers as you are building the card.

Making the easel card wasn't hard. You start with a piece of Real Red cardstock cut at 4.25" x 11" then score at 5.5", then on one half you cut two 1" strips to the score line from the two outside edges. Those 1" strips will be glued back down to the card base. The last score line you'll need is for the middle easel section scored across at 2.75."  Then cut your Whisper White cardstock at 2.25" x 5.25" and glue in place. The two polka dot pieces are 0.75" x 5.25" and glued down.

The oval poinsettia centerpiece is assembled then glued to the lower half of the center strip allowing for the scored line to fold creating the stand-up easel. The Decorative Label punch greeting is the "magic" that allows the easel to stand when propped against its edge which has been lifted with Dimensionals. I tried a new idea with the gold foil paper that I punched then layered behind the greeting - cut an X which gives you 4 pieces to glue with just a touch of gold showing behind the Whisper White. That idea saves paper and reduces thickness.
