Dreams du Jour Easel Calendars

These calendar easel cards were made in January before I broke my arm - fortunatly. Easel cards are fun to make, they mail in the standard card envelope and, as a calendar, make a year long reminder of your friendship with the person who is lucky enough to receive the card from you.  Dreams du Jour is a delightful set and, if you know me, butterflies and ribbon are my favorite embellishments. The stamp set is in the current catalog, the designer papers shown here are retired bits from my stash that I'm trying to reduce. 

CRAZY FOR CUPCAKES EASEL CARD

I've been having fun making easel cards lately. Here is one using a favorite stamp set, Crazy for Cupcakes.  See that cupcake that fell to the ground even before it got to the cupcake stand?  It's serving a purpose. Stampers know that "A mistake is an excuse for an embellishment".  Wouldn't you know, I had the card all made and then got a bit of ink on my finger and, of course, discovered that only after I'd transferred it to the card front. Thus - the cupcake cover-up.  I know the photo is a bit blurry. I'll try taking another one tomorrow and see if I can get a clearer one for you.

Would you like to learn now to make an easel card?  We'll be doing one with a different stamp set at my Stamp Camp next Saturday.  There's still room for you to join us.

Happy Stampin'
