Jay Gee’s Nook - desktop calendar

Written by: iwona    3 Comments

Hi there! If you’re one of the “always too late buying a calendar(s) for the year” gals like myself, this post might be just for you! Today on the Jay Gee’s Nook blog, I’m sharing a simple yet stylish desktop calendar template, customized with WPlus9 Chantilly Trim stamps. With a printer, a few sheets of cardstock & some ink you can go from this:

…to this in no time!

I’m sharing the printable template at the end of this post, in both Word and PDF formats, if you’d like to give it a go yourselves. This is something my hubby whipped up the other day, and the pages you see below, I’m now using myself to write down my crafty deadlines!
The file will print out as three A4 pages, with four months fitting on one page. All you need to do is cut each page in four, to separate the months. Unless you want to do what I did: layer each month with a piece of cardstock - then you’ll need to cut 8 mm or less from both the top and left edge of each month, to make up for the nice border you see above (the cardstock mats are cut to A6 size - 1/4 of A4 sheet - and so will be the month sheets after cutting your printed pages down).
Please note, that the template represents metric measurements, so those of you who use Imperial measuring systems will need to adjust the template accordingly.
I took three shades of cardstock (retired SU! colours) and after cutting each of them in four, I had twelve mats ready to mount the months on. Then I simply combined different stamps from the WPlus9 set, to create four designs stamped alternately.

Now the little calendar pages are ready to be popped on your desk, together or one at a time, or bound together with a hole punch and some ribbon/twine. You can, of course, customize them in many ways, with different stamps and embellishments, they’d make a cute gift!
