Good Friday morning stamping friends. I hope you all had a great New Years and you’re ready for 2026!!! Surprisingly I made it until after midnight, I was up till 2am. I have found if I stay busy and don’t sit to relax, I can stay awake much longer. The only bad thing is, no matter what time I go to sleep, my internal clock tells me to get up at 5am.

I have a desk calendar/caddy for you today that I made with my favorite colors. There’s no stamping, just adhesive and paper. I did a quick YouTube video that you can find Here. The measurements are below so you can watch and create your own calendar/caddy.

Adhere a panel of Everyday Happiness DSP to a Pretty Peacock mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the Lost Lagoon card base. Adhere the small Lost Lagoon mat to the Pretty Peacock mat. Adhere the calendar to the layered panel using Tear & Tape. Adhere the calendar to the card front.

Fold the 4″ x 4″ panel of Lost Lagoon as valley, mountain and valley folds. On the 2 narrow folded edges add Tear & Tape. Adhere the folded panel to the inside of the Lost Lagoon card base.

Adhere the panel of Everyday Happiness DSP to the Lost Lagoon mat. Adhere the layered panel to the topo of the Pretty Peacock mat. Adhere the layered panel to the back of the Lost Lagoon card base. Fold the 2 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of Pretty Peacock on the scored lines. Using snips, trim off the 2 bottom squares on both ends. Using snips, cut the remaining 4 squares into ‘tabs’. Fold the box in and adhere the tabs together, squaring the edges. Fold the 2 side in and fold the bottom scored panel up and adhere together. Use Tear & Tape on the 2 sides and bottom to adhere the box to the bottom of the back panel. Adhere the small panel of Everyday Happiness DSP to the Lost Lagoon mat. Adhere the layered panel to the front of the box. Add a pack of 3″ x 3″ Sticky Notes to the box and a pen or pencil.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like this calendar desk/caddy and will give it a try. Here’s the YouTube Video if you want to watch and stamp along. Happy Stamping!!
