Mixed Labels Easel Calendar with sticky note pocket and pen holder

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  I hope you find today's 3D project useful.  I've used new product just released today by Stampin' Up! today.  I was inspired by other demonstrators who had made easel cards but couldn't quite make their designs work for me, so I took a couple different ones, added my own dimensions and my own design for the pen pocket, along with some help from my friend Tracy and came up with this design I'm very happy with.  My original prototypes were too front heavy and wouldn't stand up.  This one works perfectly and doesn't fall forward.  It's not really very difficult and I've provided some tips and tricks in the video, so be sure to watch how I've put this together.  The replay is over on my YouTube channel.

Sneak Peek of Heart Shaped Just Because I Care fold over treat box

 Hello everyone.  I hope you like the sneak peek of one of this year's Sale a-bration offerings by Stampin' Up!  This is a level 2 set which includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies.  I found some Italian milk chocolate hearts at my local Home Goods store and knew I would need to make a treat box to share them in.  I designed two boxes, one with reinforced sides and front and the other with just a reinforced front so I could get two boxes from one sheet of cardstock if I were to make a bunch of them.  I like to design boxes which allow me to get multiples from one sheet of cardstock.  If you would like to see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.
