How a Perpetual Calendar Turned into a Birthday Card - Project Share

How a Perpetual Calendar Turned into a Birthday Card – Project Share

Posted on by Sandi Nagel

Turning a forgotten project into something brand new always feels good… but this one feels extra special. 💖

Remember the perpetual calendar I made with all the monthly tags? I took it apart and turned every tag into a handmade birthday card that will be donated to a local church for their monthly birthday celebrations. 🥹🎂

In the tutorial I’m sharing how I:
• turned the calendar tags into card fronts
• used simple pastel mats for a clean, finished look
• added a pretty punched border for that “inlaid” frame
• used fun foam for budget-friendly dimension

It’s a sweet mix of use your stash + make something that makes someone’s day.

Would you repurpose an old project like this? Or would you keep the calendar as is?
