Sweet Gracelets, it’s the beginning of a new month!  I’m tickled to share a new Die of the Month with you and for June 2020 I have a very utilitarian design called  A2 Snip-It Grid and Calendar Creator.  It’s a grid that can be “snipped” to create one large aperture, two large apertures, or any number of holes to create a different pattern.  In addition, it is a 5 by 7 box grid that will accommodate the numbers for a yearly calendar.   Did you notice that you get an entire lower case alphabet (that matches the upper case alphabet from the October 2019 Die of the Month – One Kind Word), all of the letters to die cut Month abbreviations and Day abbreviations as well as numbers.

Snip-It Grid and Calendar Creator Inspiration

So, I’m a collector.  Seriously, it’s remarkable how much stuff I collect.  Chalk it up to human nature, it’s what we do with the things we really like.  I’m addicted to journals and calendars, but I love the clean-cut lines of a die over my imperfect cutting and trimming skills.  That’s where the Snip-It Grid comes in.  It’s so easy to lay this grid down and stamp in the numbers and voila – a calendar.  Need to make a checklist?  No worries, leave room for a box, and snip out the other dividers to make a place for a line item.  Need a frame?  No worries, snip a couple of internal dividers to make it.

The inspiration for this die came from not having these elements in my stash.  I adore alphabets and I adore calendars.  So often I don’t have the exact right sentiment and want to die cut it myself.  In fact, that happened with the recent typewriter cards.  I wanted to say “Words Matter” and those letters came from this alphabet :-)

I also wanted flexibility in creating the grid I needed for any card rather than having to buy a bunch of different grids.  Because it is so easy to “Snip-It”, this one fits the bill.  With the Snip-It Grid, I can snip out to create one box or many little boxes and fill them with words or whatever.  That’s precisely what gave me the idea to create the crossword puzzle card – “Made for Each Other”.  It has been a little addicting trying to figure out other word combinations.  If you know of any – leave them for me in the comments.

And then there is the box.  I always try to create a box using the current months’ dies because so often when we are gifting it adds extra polish to the presentation to have it in a beautiful box.  This is one of the easiest because the grid is a blank canvas – it transitions from clean and simple to elegant and stately in a heartbeat.

    Hope you are doing well and more settled since your move. This die set is a welcome addition for me and so timely. I have a lot of events that need celebrating, which is hard in these times. So this is the ticket to let them know how special their day is. And when we get back to celebrations together (actually in same room) your creative boxes will be at each table setting along with last month’s holder for silverware! Thanks for always giving us something to anticipate, look forward to, and enjoy.ReplyCancel

    I absolutely love this concept. What a genius idea. so simple and yet so many ways to use it.
    Becca, I wish I could join the die of the month club but I am just a stay at home grand mother and it is just not in my budget . I did want to tell you how inspiring you are to me . I hope things are settling in for you now and just know you are not alone. Seems like God’s children are really being attacked a lot these days. I guess that evil one knows time is running out and he wants to do as much mischief as possible. I want you to know I pray for you and I hope that brings you a smile . Take care and God bless…Denice with a “c”ReplyCancel

    I love the unique concept of having a grid and alphabet letters and using it to create crossword puzzles! What a great idea. I have a huge die collection so I find myself purchasing dies that have an unique quality to them and this fits that.
