DIY Desk Calendar – How To
The reason why this project is SO easy and quick is that I used the Scrapbook.com Everyday Moments Pocket Cards. They come in a mix of 4×6 and 4×3 cards with fun patterns. The smaller ones have each month in the year – just perfect!
I selected 12 larger cards from the set and I used my Happy Planner Punch to punch holes on one of the long sides. At this point I had also already paired each small monthly journaling card with a larger one.
I decided to add a bit of glamour to the larger cards, so I heat embossed some of the images in the Dainty Floral Frames stamp set with Rose Gold embossing powder.
Next, I cut the blank 4×3 vertical journaling cards in half on the long side. I glued them under the cards for each month. This is going to create a small section for notes. Functional and pretty!
For the actual calendars I dowloaded a free monthly calendar file for 2021 and I printed it on the Scrapbook.com sticker paper. I cut each monthly calendar and I glued it to the corresponding journaling card. I then glued everything to form my montly pages.
Rince and repeat 12 times and you have your calendar! I told you it was easy!
For the cover I selected another pretty journaling card and I decorated it with stickers from the Scrapbook.com Black and Rose Gold sticker book. I also added some details with a white gel pen.
To make the whole thing stand up I created a triagular base. I cut two sheets of heavy white cardstock to 8.5×4″. I scored them at 2.5″ and punched them with my Happy Planner punch.
I then glued them together to create something that looks like a tent. The wider the base, the more stable your calendar – so probably something like a 10×4″ sheet scored at 4″ would be even better.
I used some rose gold Happy Planner rings to hold everything together and…ta-daaa! My pretty DIY Desk Calendar for 2021 is done!
