A Little Bit Festive is a fun, playful desk calendar for 2027, themed around the seasons, holidays, and simple decor ideas we look forward to all year. Each month is built around color, theme, and border.
Textile design is what the two of us specialize in, and we're best known for our throw blankets, where borders, pattern, and layering do most of the work. We brought those same techniques to the month plates, so each one is built the way we'd build a blanket, with a border that frames it and patterns layered inside.
Every month starts as a pencil sketch by Steph, who digitizes it and adds color on an iPad. Kate then lays out the whole calendar in Adobe. It was her idea to keep every word handwritten, so the lettering is all Steph's, down to the dates, and the whole thing feels like it came out of one sketchbook.
Behind each month is a lined page for appointments, with the month named at the top and the days numbered down the side.
It's a 6x8 desk calendar with an attached cardboard stand on a white wire coil, so it sits up on its own. It's printed in full color on both sides of heavy coated matte paper in the USA and arrives in a clear sleeve. Plenty of our customers come back for it every year, and it makes an easy gift for a coworker, a teacher, or yourself.
