Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Cut a cardstock base at 4 1/4" x 11", and score at 5-1/2". Fold the card in half and burnish the edge with a bone folder. Cut another piece of the same color cardstock at 4" x 4", and score at 1/2", 2" and 3 1/2".
-
Step 2
Burnish the fold lines to create the easel.
-
Step 3
Glue the 1/2" tabs to the inside of the card base.
-
Step 4
Decorate the back face of the easel. For the sample, a 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" layer of Whisper White cardstock was stamped in Pear Pizazz ink with 2 stems, stamped off once before stamping. A greeting was stamped in black ink. The panel was adhered to a 4" x 5 1/4" Soft Sky layer and then to the card base back.
-
Step 5
Prepare the card front as desired. For the sample, a die cut bouquet was assembled and adhered to a 4" x 5 1/4" embossed layer of Soft Sky cardstock, then attached to the card base.
-
Step 6
Print the calendar from the PDF file on typing weight paper. Cut each month to 2-1/2" x 2-1/4".

Stack and staple.
-
Step 7
Adhere the calendar to a 2 1/2" x 2 3/4" layer of coordinating cardstock and then to the card front. Add a greeting or other embellishments as desired.

Complete the project.
The calendar will fold flat for mailing in a standard A2 envelope.
