DIY CALENDAR BLOG HOP: FEBRUARY 2025

Posted on by

Welcome to the second DIY Calendar Blog Hop of 2025. I hope you’re ready for some inspiration from our crafty calendar crew!

I am smitten with the Floral Delight Suite, but I’ve primarily worked with the yellow tones of the DSP. It was time to branch out (get it???) and try a new color combination. I’m loving the lavenders!

  • Stamps: Delightful Wishes, Elements of Text
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Pecan Pie, Gray Granite
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Delightful Wishes dies, Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots, Masking Paper, Stampin’ Dimensionals, DIY Calendar template

This branch can be die cut or stamped, and for the calendar I wanted the extra lift of the die cut. Adding each blossom takes a little more time, but I hope you like the end result. I don’t think I would do this for a stack of cards, but it’s no problem for a little calendar page.

And for the record, I LOVE LOVE LOVE our new Elements of Text stamps. Trust me when I tell you that you NEED this stamps set!!

I created this “cheat sheet” for the floral spray if you prefer to stamp them. The stamps are mounted on blocks and each block is numbered. The number is placed at the top of the block to make it easier to line up the flowers. I designed the cheat sheet for THIS project.

How do you like Delightful Wishes in lavenders? It’s a completely different feeling, much more calm and gentle versus the happy exuberance of shades of yellow.

Do you have trouble sending cards – and sending them on time? I am working on a new system featuring our gorgeous new Perpetual Calendar, but in order to make it work I need to have cards made. Why are the obvious things so hard?

  • Stamps: Bee My Valentine, Elements of Text, Happy Hibiscus, Spotlight on Nature
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Shy Shamrock
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Spotlight on Nature dies, Happy Hibiscus dies, Watercolor Pencils, Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used a lot of different stamps to add visual texture, including the glorious Elements of Text. Have you added it to your crafty stash? You’re going to love it, I promise.

These colors aren’t super traditional, but they’re not too far off. What do you think? Do they work?

And do yourself a favor: add Elements of Text to your shopping cart and push the button. You’ll be so glad you did.

DELIGHTFUL WISHES ON GINGHAM VELLUM

You have to see this coordinating Specialty Vellum DSP in real life to truly appreciate it. The colors are luminous, and it’s a perfect compliment to the Floral Delight Suite. It’s on my “replenish asap” list!

  • Stamps: Delightful Wishes, Elements of Text, Ice Cream Swirl
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pecan Pie
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Floral and Gingham Vellum Specialty DSP, Stampin’ Write marker, Party Dots, 3 Color Bakers Twine Pack, Masking Paper, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I masked the flower spray before I stamped the script text from Elements of Text (love love love!!!). It took me a little bit of experimenting to align the flowers and the stem, and since I designed this card as a club group project, I made a “cheat sheet”. Putting numbered dots on the block helped to sequence the images and find the top each time!

The Floral Delight Suite is a beauty, but it’s low inventory right now, so don’t wait to order it. You’ll earn credits towards your favorite Sale-a-bration choices when you add it to your cart – what’s not to love?
