Year Calendar 2021

 

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

I've made a year calendar for 2021 out of 6 coasters and the Sticky Note Calendar

For January I used cold colors and images and I did the same for each month(I'll show you a few) using stamps and colors to best suit the month.

I'll give further instructions at the end.

Stamps used on January: Tiny Snowman, Icicles, and Snow Background

Stamps used on February: Heart Drops

Stamps used on March: Shamrock Swag

Stamps used for May: Single Birdhouse, Flowering Tree Branch

Stamps used for June: Graduation Background, Tassel

When you finish with June you turn the whole thing around and it starts up again at July.

Stamp used for July: Star Streamers

Stamps used for November: 4 in 1 Harvest Designs, Thanks Be To God

Stamps used for December: Santa Hat, Pine Tree Snowdrifts and Christmas Village 4 in 1 Accessories

Other stamps used not shown: April: Small Easter Cross, Vertical Happy Easter. August:   4 in 1 Seashells, 3 in 1 Ocean Floor, Bubbles September: 4 in 1 In The Sky, 4 in 1 Ocean Designs October: Vertical Happy Halloween, 4 in 1 Halloween Silhouettes

For the stand I made 1 panel 4 1/2" X 10 1/2" then scored at 5 1/4"

To keep the stand in standing position I added another panel 4 1/4 X 4 1/4" scored at 5/8", 2 1/8",  and 3 5/8".  Glue the 2 5/8" end tabs to the inside of the bottom of the 4 1/2" X 5 1/4" front and the same for the back.  the center score folds up into stand when mailing.

I then made a white stamped front and back (the same) measuring 4 1/8" X 4 7/8" and a blue mat just slightly larger than the white stamped panel but smaller than the outside measuring 4 1/4" X 5".  Before gluing the panels onto your stand/calendar holder, punch or die cut holes as 3 layers are hard to do.  Make sure to re-punch after each addition of the layers.  I made the calendar holder's holes larger than the coaster calendar pages for ease of turning over to use other side.

The stamps I used on the holder are: Interlocking Stars and Picture Perfect Day

So obviously I stamped the Calendar 12 times onto twelve 3 1/2" X 3 1/2" white panels to cover the 6 coasters (I used my Misti to make the process really quick).  Then decided on stamps to not only go with the month but also to fit the space.  After stamping and coloring I used them to the coasters and used a screw Punch to make my holes at the top.  I printed off the month names from my computer then glued them on.  The numbers were hand written so of course you can make this calendar for any year.

I found the calendar stand tutorial at SplitCoastStampers and just altered it to better suit this design.

The last thing I did was to add enamel dots to the header on each month and mark special occasion days in some way using my markers.

I hope you like this idea and try it yourself to give as gifts.

Thanks for visiting!
