The Stationery Kit is always that eclectic, useful stationery-lovers gem from Cocoa Daisy. I adore playing with the vellum and acetate they offer us almost every month. This month instead of the pockets or dividers I usually make, I wanted to create a stencil that I could use every month from here on out in my planner.

   

  

I created this stencil using simple shapes and cut it out using my Cricut machine. Here is the link to make one of your own using what I've created for you and I to use. 

My only suggestion for those novice Cricut users is to make sure you are using a Strong Grip mat and use the Custom Setting of Stencil .4mm. 

 

 

If you aren't a Cricut Fan, you can certainly make your own stencil using the acetate. Just grab a fine-tip dry or wet-erase marker and draw some simple shapes. Then using a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife cut out the shapes that would make planning work better for you. Maybe some banners or checkboxes to help get those tasks done.

 

 

I think calendar blanks are one of the most useful stencil shapes to make and track with or create your monthly calendar, too. Enjoy the many ways you can be creative and efficient with your stencils!
