DIY CALENDAR BLOG HOP: OCTOBER 2025 BRANCHING OUT

Welcome back to DIY Calendars! We’re so glad you’ve stopped by this month. Be sure to take a look at what the rest of the crew has created for October.

  • Stamps: Branching Out, Everyday You and Me
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Timid Tiger, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss
  • Accessories: DIY Calendar Template, Stampin’ Dimensionals

October is always a bit of a predicament for me. I don’t want to look at a Halloween motif all month, although I know some of you have already had your decorations up for 3 weeks. 😉Maui doesn’t really have fall colors, and we don’t wear fuzzy sweaters either. But we do have lots of beautiful plants, and I ultimately chose my colors based on what’s in my garden.

I used Everyday You & Me, an older set currently on the Last Chance List, with Branching Out, a new set from the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog. Both have smaller foliage elements that combined surprisingly well. I confess there are no pine cones in my garden, but my Royal Poinciana has massive pods, and I decided that was close enough. Did I give you enough fall vibes??

Everyday You & Me is available as stamps, dies and a bundle. The bundle is NOT discounted, but the stamps and dies are. And the LAST CHANCE page has been updated today! Check it out.

DIY CALENDAR BLOG HOP: MARCH 2025

Welcome back to DIY Calendars! Thanks for joining us this month – and every month – as we share our creative ideas. This month, I’m using a bundle that Stampin’ Up! included in the spring Scrapbooking Brochure, but I think it’s perfect for cards and calendars.

  • Stamps: Everyday You and Me
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia
  • Accessories: DIY Calendar Template, Gold Open Weave Trim, Glue Dots

Have you seen Everyday You & Me? There are trendy stamps and dies and some absolutely gorgeous Designer Series Paper, but it’s easy to miss if you don’t know where to look. Here’s my tip: when you visit the Online Store, look for the button that says “What’s New” and choose “Shop All”. You’ll see new catalog products, new Online Exclusives, new scrapbooking products, and new kits all in one place.

That would also include this gorgeous gold Open Weave Trim. We had silver a while back, and I used it a lot. It’s gorgeous on packages, but you can smoosh it behind a focal point or unweave it a bit for an unstructured accent.

Would you like to make your own DIY Calendars? The template is just $5 – let me know that’s what you want and I’ll send you an invoice. Please tell me you’re a real being in the message box – I’m getting increasing amounts of spam. Everything is done digitally, so you’ll have it quickly.
