More Mini Calendar FUN: Let’s Create 4 More Months + VIDEO
Ready for 4 more months of my mini calendar journey?
I’m so excited to share. Each month is a new adventure for pairing stamps for fun designs. The September release from Unity Stamp Company has been the perfect match for many months and I love how different each one turns out. I even have a fun BIRTHDAY month design to share!
I also have a video this time since there were a few questions about the process and how I plan to package the mini calendar. You will definitely want to check the video out for all those answers plus a closer look at some fun little design twists for each month.
Take a peek at what I’m making! In this video, I’ll share my mini calendar creation process and give you a peek at the 8 calendars I have made so far PLUS some tips on how I plan to package these to giveaway.

Calendar & Sentiment Printables — Calendars UPDATED YEARLY!
Check out my Etsy shop for the latest versions if you’d like to make some too.
These are printable designs that you print out at home. They are great because you can print as many as you need. There are 2 mini calendar sizes, I’m using the 4.25″ x 5.5″ sizes for today but if you want more room to decorate or a larger calendar, grab the 5″x 7″ size. The saying strips are fantastic for the calendars or for card making! There are lots of sayings included and in 3 different fonts. There are more in my Etsy shop plus I have plans for Christmas and more themes in the future.

Closer Look at Each Mini Calendar Month
January: This is all about celebrating the new year with some bubbly. A pair of wine glasses clinking away to “cheer” the New Year! I did some Copic coloring similar to maybe a light rosé. Something pink, bubbly, and yummy.
February: This is all about LOVE. I love the idea of trying different styles with each month and this one is definitely has a vintage feel. To keep things interesting, I popped up part of the rose image with a postage stamp die cut and added a lovely sentiment from the Uplifting printable.
March: Is my birthday month!!! I will be customizing each set to celebrate each person’s birthday month. So if someone’s birthday is in December, I might switch out the colors and embellishments to fit the season or the person. But the layering balloons are going to be the theme to celebrate them that month! This sentiment is from the Birthday printable and is perfect for the calendar or cards! I’m big on celebrating birthdays all month long!
April: I just had to throw this delightful little girl in for April. It just seems like the perfect place to celebrate the change from spring into summer. She is colored with Copics and comes with the perfect sentiment for this month.
All 12 Months
Previous Months: Here they are all together. What a fun project this was and I can’t wait to gift my calendars this year.
