I couldn't be more excited about tonight's special release of Tami Mayberry's newest stamp set- Calendar Bits and Pieces.
This jumbo size set is not only the perfect set to create calendars, but as you will see, you can use it to make cards, tags and so much more!
One of the things that Tami and I discussed during the development of this set was the fact that there was NO WAY that I wanted to stamp between 28 and 31 numbers on every month of the year. That would mean you would have to stamp 365 times just to make your basic calendar! No thanks.
Well, Tami and I figured out the perfect way to make that job super easy! Watch the videos below to learn more about this set and see how easy it is to stamp your calendar numbers using only two impressions for each month! It's really brilliant!
Calendar Bits and Pieces Part 1
Calendar Bits and Pieces Part 2
Now that you've had a chance to see how easy it is to create calendars, let me show you a few of the projects that I created using this fabulous new set.
I decided to show you the April page of the calendar I made because I LOVED the photo so much. I took this picture last year in the spring when we were on our cruise. This coming April, it will bring back all of those wonderful memories!
My next project is a note card.
I used the Calender Grid stamp to create the background and a few of the word and image stamps to create my focal image. Clean and simple!
Card details:
Pure Luxury Card Stock- Sweet Corn, Pumpkin Spice, Fresh Asparagus, White
Ribbon- Sweet Corn Stripe
Punches- Marvy Jumbo 3/4" and 1" circle punches
My next project is a bright and fun card to send for just about any occasion.
These clean and simple cards are so easy to make so you can make little stacks to give as gifts this holiday season.
And you'll be thrilled to know that this chunky little star works perfectly with the Marvy Jumbo Star punch.
Card details:
Pure Luxury Card Stock- Rocket Red, White
Stampin' Up Card Stock- Temping Turquoise
Marvy Jumbo Star punch
Next, I made a Christmas tag by using the little frame stamp that works perfectly with the Nestabilities Labels 1 dies.
I left the tag inside the die and sponged on some Desert Sand Memento ink. The sponged ink stayed inside the red stamped border. Then, I used the curved corner punch to make the red topper and some rhinestones and gold cording to finish it off.
And I made one last tag for Hanukkah.
I love all of these tiny images, and the font style that Tami used for this set is just adorable.
Here are the full image plates of both Calendar Bits and Pieces and the Calendar Grid stamp.
The Calendar Grid stamp is sold separately and is also available as a digital download. To learn more about the Calendar Grid options, watch the video above.

Hi gina!
I KNEW IT - JUST KNEW that this new set was just as I envisioned! I love the projects you made. I'm killing myself right now because I really NEED this set and I bought so much from the last release party that now I can't get this set. UGH!!!!
With my brother and hubby having alzhiemer's I've been writing notes all over the house for them this set gave me a huge Idea - to make a daily planner so that they can be reminded of certain things they need to do! why oh Why didn't this set get released when the other did? I definately would have gotten this one right off the bat!
anyway- thank you for sharing your creations and allowing us to be inspired by them!
Big Hugs,
Alita
