Sticky Note Calendar 2021 Tutorial

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s Sticky Note Calendar 2021  (SVGSilhouette- coming soon). In this photo tutorial, I will break down the steps to create this super cute project to keep you on track in 2021.  I used papers from the Magical Adventure collection from Echo Park Paper Co.  The calendar goes perfectly with the organizers I made a few weeks ago.

After uploading the SVG file to the Cricut Design Studio, I needed to make a few changes, so that it would cut correctly with my Cricut Maker. Below you will find the steps I took to prepare the file for cutting.  I opened the “solid” version of the SVG in Cricut so I could use my score tool.

Ungroup the SVG file.  Change the Linetype of the fold lines on the calendar base and sticky note holder to score marks. Attach the score lines to calendar base and sticky note holder pieces.  For help on this process, see this video on Lori’s YouTube Channel.

Next, change the Fill calendar pieces to Print.  You can save yourself some time by holding the control (PC) or command (Mac) key and clicking each month’s calendar.  Then change the Fill to Print for all 12 months at the same time.

The final step is to Flatten each calendar piece to the white rectangle below.  Unfortunately, you will need to do this 12 times.  Don’t forget to hide or delete the size note (9.5343 in =width).

You are ready to print and cut your project pieces.  Toggle off the Add Bleed option in the print window.  It will be grayed out when in the off position.  When I sent mine to the printer, it printed both pages.  After printing, it was time to cut all the pieces using my Cricut Maker.

After cutting all of the project pieces, I folded all the pieces with score marks and added adhesive to the joining tabs.

Then I adhered the calendar back (the red polka dot piece) to the front of the sticky note holder and added adhesive tape to the back of the sticky note holder.  Next, I assembled the stand and attached the sticky note holder to the stand.

 

I chose to attach the January 2021 calendar piece to the front of the sticky not holder and tucked the rest of the pieces behind my sticky notes.  I will add the new months to the front of the sticky note holder as the year progresses.  You can also staple the months together in a stack and add as a group to the front.

 

I hope you enjoyed making the Sticky Note Calendar 2021  (SVGSilhouette) as much as I did! Looking forward to 2021 and using my sticky note calendar.

Until next time,

Michelle

Haunted House with Guest Designer Michelle Gallant

Hey everyone, Michelle Gallant here today sharing a sweet little Halloween project using the Haunted House Box 2 file (SVG, Silhouette) and the Say Cheese Halloween collection from Simple Stories.

Halloween Card & Box Set

Hello crafty friends! It’s that time of year to bring out the tricks and treats! Today I have an adorable matching card and candy box set for a sweet someone in your life. Both ghosts are the one found in the card file and not the one that came with the box file which is why I say they are “matching”.  The card is the Floating Easel Card Haunted House (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette) and the candy box is the Handle Box Ghost (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette).
This sweet card was so much fun to make and although I messed up by using a white thread which is visible it still looks so cute! You should use fishing line which is clear.  I added some black inking around the edges of the purple cardstock to give this card an eerie effect.
And I just absolutely love this candy box that was made with the I Love Halloween collection!
That’s all from me today…I hope you give these projects a try. They are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
