DIY CALENDAR BLOG HOP: SEPTEMBER 2026 SIMPLY LEAVES

Welcome back to DIY Calendars! Thanks for joining us this month – and every month – as we share our creative ideas. I’ve had some fun with my September calendar, as I’m featuring leaves – but we don’t have fall color here on Maui. Come see what I’ve done.

When I decided to use leaves for September, I gave myself permission to use Lost Lagoon for them. I chose gold accents and stamped off the leaf vein image to add Pool Party texture behind the Lost Lagoon leaves. There’s a bit of Wink of Stella on the leaves – it’s my calendar and I’ll Stella if I want to. 😉

The smaller image from the Simply Leaves stamp set doesn’t fit into the coordinating punch, so I fussy cut the 3 leaves. I curled them a little with my bone folder before adhering them to the calendar page.

The 2027 DIY template is in the works and will be released by this weekend. If you’ve purchased one in the past, you’ll get an email when it’s ready!

GARDEN GATHERINGS WITH A WINDOW

I held off getting Garden Gatherings. It’s a game I play with myself. But I’m much smarter than that other girl, and I almost always win the game 😁

Stamp the stems twice. In one case, add the flowers and die cut. In the second, stamp the vase over the stems and die cut the vase. Glue the two together to get stems in the water.

The Water and Dotted lines masks are a great way to add the texture of a background stamp. It’s easy to control the intensity of the color by the amount of ink and brushing on your Blending Brush. The masks are 12×12 so there are lots of options – check them out in the Online Store!

GARDEN GATHERINGS IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

We’ve had vases before, and you might have a set in your stash. I hope you have a set with dies, because they make this project so easy! I think Garden Gatherings vases look great in sets of three.

Die cutting or punching shapes out of DSP is one of my favorite crafty tricks. I’d stamped these on the other side and die cut them, but when I turned them over I loved the “B-side” better. (Drop a comment if you remember the “B-side”!!) By the way, Kintsugi Inspirations DSP is still available!

If you don’t have Garden Gatherings, pull out that set from your stash. If you don’t have one in your stash, well, what are you waiting for?? <wink>
