I thought for Day 2, I would make a calendar for 2021, to try and forget 2020 for obvious reasons - what a year we are having.
I chose another digital stamp to play with for this project. Unity digis aren't just like other digital stamps. With some you get varying layouts already set out for you to print off. The flower I have used for the calendar comes by itself; or you can print out a whole page already set out for you.
I do hope Unity Stamps will introduce more digital stamps. Even though I still buy physical products from Unity, I like the versatility of digital products and I don't have to pay huge shipping costs and wait forever for delivery.
OK I will get off my soapbox now and return to my calendar.
I have used In This Together and I am so glad it is still available in the shop if you are interested. The sentiment I used is in the You Owe Yourself digital set which is also still in the shop. I am on a roll here with availability of these limited edition digis - hooray!
I have used A4 Stampin' Up cardstock for the base of the calendar. The 2021 mini calendar file I found at Creative Fabrica as a freebie. Unfortunately it is not available as a freebie now, however, I am sure there will be a free calendar somewhere on the net. To make the calendar a suitable size for A4 I had to crop the year off it, but I added my own when I enlarged it and set the flowers and sentiment where I wanted them. I printed on Copic card and coloured using G46, G43, RV02, RV00, RV000, RV0000 and Y04.
For the design paper, I used my Graciellie Designs digital paper Wild-Whimsy Paper Pack, No. 1 Sheet cropped from a square to a rectangle, enlarged and printed on photo paper. Unfortunately this particular range is only available as digital direct from Graciellie Designs however, if you go here to the Unity stamps shop you will find a good range of Graciellie Designs paper packs.
I have placed magnets on the back of the cardstock to attach to a refrigerator.
I hope you like my 2021 fridge calendar.
See you tomorrow with Day 3.

Thanks Linda, my printer is not an expensive one by any means. I used to buy more expensive ones but now I just go cheap. I just wish they would not invent a new cartridge for every new printer.
