The 2026 Fun Quotes 3D Calendars

Cricut users update!
 I'm so sorry if you've purchased these svg files from Silhouette or Shop Lori Whitlock!  I'm slowing down your production!  I've just sent both suppliers updated files that will work for Cricut - I have some extra instructions if you are using them on a Cricut.... Scroll down.....

___________________ 

These calendars are so easy to make!  They're basically print and cut, plus make a stand to hold each of the monthly cards. They're very similar to the other previous designs.

 Each of the monthly panels includes a fun or sweet phrase. They're stored in their custom-sized holder which I've redesigned, so you can easily read the phrase! Cut the holder in any colour you wish. The back of the holder has a fold-out support so the calendar will stand on its own.


 

 You can watch this previously made video tutorial on YouTube to help you assemble the holder. Use this link to start the video at the beginning of the construction of the holder. (Make sure you subscribe to my channel in case there are updates!)

I haven't added any references to special dates on this set of calendars, except Christmas.  I leave you to add your own!

Additional instructions for Cricut users:

  1.  Upload svg to Design Space. 
  2.  Ungroup everything! 
  3.  Select the back panel of the holder and click Attach
  4.  Select the front of the holder and click Attach 
  5.  Select January and click Flatten 
  6.  Select February and click Flatten 
  7.  Continue selecting each month until all the months are flattened
  8. To reduce cardstock in the Print and Cut step, move January and February cards close together, select them both and click Attach.  Pair all the other months in the same way.  Now two will print on one page.
  9. Now send to Make!  Enjoy your calendar! 

Just ask on my website if you have any questions. 

Happy creating and happy 2026 every day of the year! Suzanne

Meet the 2025 Cheeky 3D Calendars


You'll have so much fun making these calendars!  Print and cut these monthly panels topped with a different charming "critter" for each month and store them in their custom-sized holder, which you can cut in any colour you wish! There is even an often-cheeky message at the bottom of the each panel! The back of the holder has a fold-out support so the calendar will stand on its own to make the perfect desk calendar.

This is a Silhouette Print and Cut project.  I don't think it will work on Cricut in this format, but hopefully next project will be Cricut friendly.

I hope you think these are fun! The Poopy Calendar is D-1236725 and the Kitties are D-1236724 on my Silhouette profile.  Or filter for Print and Cut projects.

Watch the video tutorial below or on YouTube to help you along and if you have any questions, feel free to email me or contact me through my website.

Happy creating! Suzanne

Assembling the Pocket Advent Calendars - Tutorial


These pockets Advent calendars are fun to make and even more fun to share! You can find these designs on my Silhouette store. (When you get to my page, filter for Advent to find them more easily.) They're pretty basic, take a bit of time to make, but can be a lasting keepsake for years to come! You can fill it with all sorts of things.  Customize the colours and gifts for the lucky person or pet celebrating the season.
 



Each file comes with the pleated pockets, the print and cut numbers and the title with mat.

Print and cut all the numbers (sticker paper can be helpful!) and mount them on the slightly larger solid circles. I printed them on sticker paper so it was faster to assemble the project!  The paw print labels don't have a larger mat, they are just attached directly to the pocket.


  Cut and fold each pocket in your favourite colour.  The pockets have pleats in them so they can expand. Fold down the top tab and add the numbers there.

 





Add your preferred adhesive to the tabs.  You probably want something pretty strong!


 
You can attach the pockets to a 12 x 12 piece of scrapbook paper or cardstock.  For the Paw Print design, I attached them randomly, which makes it fun!  But if you like organization, I've done an approximate layout for the pockets in rows and columns.

 A t-square and a soapstone pencil (which can be easily brushed off later) are handy tools for this!


 

You might choose to leave less room between the rows.  It depends on what you plan to put in them!!


Cut and print the titles and mount them on their mats, then have fun filling your Advent pockets!  (Think small!)


Looking for little gifts to put in the pockets?  Google is your friend!
Here are a few ideas....
festive nuts
keychains
decorative wearable pins
kitchen magnets
hair accessories
tester perfume
sprig of mistletoe
novelty erasers
beads
plastic toys
candy canes
....
feathers
balls
yarn


I'd love to see what you put in your Advent Pockets Calendar!  Please come and share it on the Suzanne Cannon Fan Page on Facebook!  (Don't forget to answer the simple questions so we know you're not a robot!)

Happy creating - and Merry Christmas!
Suzanne
