Easel Card Calendars
I’ve been busy creating! Today, I created 8 of these Easel card calendars to get ready to put in the mail tomorrow. They are meant to be a year long desk calendar with 12 tear-off months for 2011 with a little note pad as well. Once the note pads run out, more sticky notes or memo pad sheets can be added to the base.
The card when closed measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ so it fits nicely in a standard sized envie.
I stamped the word “note:” on the memo sticky notes.

Here is what I used:
Bordering Blue and Always Artichoke SU! cardstock
Webster’s Pages Nature’s Storybook – 2 prints
Prima lace
Anita’s brand calendar pull off sheets
5 mm half-backed adhesive pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts
Sizzix Big Shot and Top Note die
Stampendous Clear Stamps – “Take Note”
Prima flowers
Pearl Glimmer Mist
Singer Sewing Machine
Linen thread
Wooden butterflies and blue buttons from my stash

These are so cute! I haven’t done an easel card yet :0)
I just love this & am going to give this try. Where do you purchase the calenders?
Love it. I also have not done an easel card, but this seems to be the one to start with. I will have to find those calendars somewhere.
thanks for sharing
Fabulous project and now I have something to use up some of the calendars I got, tfs
…. oh and Happy New Year, hope 2011 holds everything you wish for

Hi Robyn,Love your creations,the Valentine card is so sweet! Where can I buy those mini calenders,or did you print them out!
Hi Robyn!
I just love this calendar card!!! love everything you make btw. I would like to make one using SU DSP but I really don’t know how to make an easel card. Would you be willing to make a tutorial on one please? It wouldn’t have to be anything fancy just the plain basics using just Card Stock.
Are you still over at Life on the Scrap Beach? I’m a member but haven’t been there in ages, I taker care of my older brother who has Alzheimer’s and ,my hubby got put on the Alzheimer’s medication Aricept a year ago so I don’t have lots of time to socialize over there. They have members who show how to make the mini albums but…..YOUR VIDEO’S showing how to make them are so clear and precise!!!! I haven’t made one yet but am planning on it soon and I’ll be going by your videoe’s. Thank you so very much for making those basic video’s – I understand everything and you’ve really did a FANTASTIC JOB filming. How did you ever get them so well planned out? Well, that was a redundant question wasn’t it? lol You really had to think everything through for each video you made. Plus, you are so very well organized. I get so much enjoyment out of your video’s and I learn quite a bit too!
Keep up with the great video’s and I look forward to your next one.
Oh my goodness, Robyn, those are just so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!! Happy New Year!!!
Hi,
I love the work that you create. I was just wondering on the calendars that you made where can I get the calendars from . I did not see this info on your blog or you tube channel.
Thank you so much

Hi Robyn,
Came across your site whilst I was looking for some ideas on easel cards. Love what you have created here, very creative. I made calendars this year but this would certainly be something different for next year.
I know you used Anita’s brand of calendars, but for those that are in Australia and can’t find Anita’s brand ones, regal craft cards, they are located in Tasmania and you can google them for the web address, they do sell directly to the public and that is where I bought mine from this year.
Happy crafting everyone, and Robyn I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful creations.
