This project deserves its own post every year at this time. A new year looms, and you’ll need a new calendar. Today, I share a refreshed version of a 2025 desktop calendar project with a notepad holder.
I used two brand-new products: Day to Celebrate stamp set and Blossom Impressions 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Both of these debut Tuesday, January 7, 2025, as SaleABration offerings. (During SaleABration, earn your choice of free products with minimum purchases of $60 and $120 before tax and shipping.)
When January 7 arrives, look for other exclusive stamp sets, patterned paper, an embossing folder, ribbon, gems, and dies to earn free with minimum purchase.
