It’s here…the long awaited finale of the SU Wondrous Wreath Easel Calendar Box! I am finishing up this season with a back to school theme for August/September using the SU Little Letters Thinlit dies and the Note from the SU Tap, Tap, Tap stamp set.

Don’t you just love the Crumb Cake and Baked Brown Sugar leaves on the wreath? It really makes the primary school colors pop!

October’s theme was a no-brainer with the cute little ghost and bats from the SU Holiday Home stamp set and the essential Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment:

November’s wreath features the changing colors of Autumn with Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Garden Green. The sentiment comes from the often overlooked Holiday Invitation stamp set in the back of the outgoing Mini-catalog. I used the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits cut down a bit to border the sentiment :

 If you are overwhelmed with the idea of making 12 wreaths for this project,

just do 4 for the changing seasons!

And your surprise is….. a tidy little page of instructions for this project HERE!

1/4/15- OOPS! As I was making up the free kits, I noticed a typo on the instructions- on the little box that holds the calendars, you score in 1/2″ not 1/4″ on all four sides of the 3 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of cardstock. 

Merry Christmas kiddos!

If you make an ONLINE order of $35 with me by the end of December 2014, the first week of January 2015, I will mail you a complimentary kit with the Soft Suede Easel Calendar Box and Hardwood panels cut, scored, and ready to assemble! All you need to do is stamp your various wreaths and pop on the buttons!  

*Use the Hostess Code: 2BN7NJDQ and

 be put into a drawing for a SU treat from me, too!

Hello, kiddos! I am back with some more of the SU Wondrous Wreath Easel Calendar Box.

And…SU has decided to keep this Wondrous Wreath for a longer time…Yea!

To make the project, you need to stamp four panels with the SU Hardwood background stamp onto Naturals White cardstock:

Then use your panels to create the door on the easel which is 5″ x 3 3/4″ , the four panels on the door, and the slats that cover the sides of the box and the drawer front.

Set the Hardwood pieces aside and construct the box out of Soft Suede cardstock:

Now make the box that slides into the drawer:

You add the easel to the top of the base with the drawer:

Then, you add the Soft Suede door panel to the easel:

Make the box the calendar sits in:

1/4/15- OOPS! As I was making up the free kits, I noticed a typo on the instructions- on the little box that holds the calendars, you score in 1/2″ not 1/4″ on all four sides of the 3 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ piece of cardstock. 

Here is how  it looks as an easel with the Vintage Faceted Buttons…

and so I leave you with a sneak peek of what is to come….

Enjoy some stamping today!
