Okay, so by now you know I am absolutely obsessed with this little typewriter, right? I have something coming up later on this week that I needed a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for so I whipped this up in less than an hour using one of the new Inspire Dies, Spellbinders Typewriter. It’s a little box – any size box will do really, and the typewriter is perched on a piece of paper shaped like a wedge. My box is 3-1/4″ wide x 2″ deep x 2″ tall and the little calendar sheets are 3/4″ x 3/4″.
See, the little months fit inside :-)
The calendar is a set of stickers from Yellow Bicycle. I actually thought it was a real 2014 calendar until I put it together when I noticed that the months all look the same. No worries, I’ll be making quite few of these as favors and will print off a tiny calendar true to 2014 dates. There are tons of free printables out on the internet for tiny calendars and I think I spy one I can use – just google if you’re hunting one for the future).

Adorable! Now I really want to get that new die.
That is so cute, I love the typewriter and the way the calendar fits inside. I going to get this dye.

Super Cute! What material did you use to die-cut the typewriter? Is it paper, craft foil, or ???
Wow I love what a great Idea xx
Oh my Becca, you’ve done it again! If my memory serves me correctly, you may have showcased this cute little typewriter on a previous post? I know that the first time that I saw it, I knew that I was going to have to have it, and now with this new post, the urge is getting stronger … I MUST HAVE IT! I would also like to know what you die cut the typewriter out of to give it such a 3-D and aged look. Love all your fab. ideas!
So very creative Becca!
I love your typewriter calendar holder. It is so nice. How do you come up with these ideas? It’s amazing.

Amazing! It looks like a metal typewriter knick-knack! Hope you will share with us how you pulled this one off!
You never cease to amaze me with your creations. Thanks for sharing. I start smiling when your posts show in my mail box.
This is just too awesome!
Rosie in comment #5, I just checked this download (using Chrome as a browser and Avast as Virus Protection and I’m not getting an alert). I removed the link because I’d rather be safe than sorry. Just google “mini 2014 calendar” and there are tons of them on the internet – there’s bound to be one that will suit your needs :-)
This is amazing.
I agree with Betsy and Suzi – I’d love to see one of your tutorials on the making of this incredible little typewriter…..it looks like the real deal!! :) I’d say the sleep you lost when this woke you up in the middle of the night was a good thing!! You are one talented lady!
Becca, This is a clever idea. I love the typerwriiter. Thanks for sharing with us.

How dinky – looks great with the mini calender in it – aahh – typewriters – remember those? brings back memories…
Oh my goodness Becca, this is sooooooo adorable, and you just did it again, and made such a perfect masterpiece. I LOVE this little typewriter too, and said right away, that it had to come here and live with me, and I just can´t understand, what takes it sooo long to get here? ha ha ha.
You are one talented lady and I absolutely LOVE your amazing ideas always, and this is no exception, that´s for sure, you´re a genius lady.
Hi Becca. This is so sweet! I love it and I also know several people that will love it too! I must get that die. The only thing is, do I make them now and give them out or do I keep them ready for next year? Thank you for such a cute project. Take care.
This is a great idea and very cute gift which will bring smiles to all those who spent many years pounding the keys at their job. Would make a great gift for a retiring word processor or secretary on Secretaries Day.
