Authentique December Desk Calendar Tutorial
Hello, Friends! Are you ready for your Authentique December Desk Calendar Tutorial? This is the 12th and final in this year-long series. And as I say every month…this one is my favorite! Just look at that handsome Santa on the cover! It’s impossible to look at him without smiling!
Like the other 11 calendars in the series, this one measures 6″ x 6″. I did make some small alterations to the mini folios tucked inside, but other than that, it’s business as usual. Don’t you just love this color palette for Christmas?
And how about this adorable Rudolph button on the pull out folio tab? He cracks me up! With Rudolf along for the ride, Santa will reach his destination safely– even if it’s a foggy night, Phew!
Here’s a peek inside the pull out folio. These images are just too darling for words!
And just look at all the goodies stuffed inside this little folio! Plenty of room for holiday photos and journaling here!
Authentique December Desk Calendar Tutorial on YouTube
If you’re ready to get your craft on, I’ve prepared a quick and easy video tour and tutorial for you.
If you’re new to this series, you can find all the previous video tutorials in my YouTube Authentique Play List. (There are ton of other great video tutorials there, too!)
I’m a bit sad to see this series come to an end. It’s been so much fun to share these monthly calendar tutorials with you during 2020. Many of you have contacted me to let me know that you are making the entire series as a holiday gift. Others have adapted the design to use with other paper collections as birthday cards. What a great idea!
I don’t know what Authentique has planned for 2021. I’ve heard a rumor that there’s a new calendar collection in the works. If so, I’ll come up with a new series for the New Year. Would you like that? Please let me know in the comment section below.
You’ll find a linked supply list below the post.
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

Kathy, I so enjoyed making each one of the desk calendars. I loved them all and still can’t decide if I want to give them as gifts or keep the entire set for myself and display each month. Thank you for doing a video with each one. I know it takes a lot of your time but it is well appreciated. I look forward to seeing all your creations including a 2021 calendar series if possible.
Stay safe!
So cute and would be great if they did another collection so you could do another series.
