Today is all about planning for NEXT YEAR and Christmas gifts! I’ve been itching to create my own mini calendars to give as gifts and keep for myself. Get ready, because it’s finally happening! I’ll be using some gorgeous new releases from Unity Stamp Company to decorate my desk calendars.
They fit perfectly in my little wooden easel.

2024 Mini Calendars
I didn’t want to overwhelm myself with trying to do the whole year, so I started with just four months. Up first is September through December since the wonderful new stamps coordinated with these months so well.
I used an A2 Calendar printable for each month. Printed those off and cut them into quarters. I masked off the calendar and stamped my image right above. I grabbed my Copics to color each image while I sat in front of the TV.
Once all the coloring was done, I picked 2 dies to cut out each month so they had a nice decorative edge.
I glued those to some pattern paper I had in my stash. I picked simple patterns that complemented the colors I used in the image.
Lastly, I added a little sentiment strip or embellishment. Since I wanted to make so many, I decided to keep the decorations and design simple.
Thank you for joining me today. I sincerely hope that today’s projects will inspire you. If you end up creating something, feel free to tag me, @dahlhousedesigns, on social media as I would be thrilled to see it!
