Here’s a new calendar divider for July (or any other time of the year if you print the blank undated version): it’s a cute dinosaur! I realized it’s been a while since I’ve created an animal-shaped planner divider and what’s cuter than a dinosaur with a pink bow tie, right?
You can print the dated or blank version. You can download the free printable further down this page.
I’ve now updated all my previous planner dividers to include a blank undated version to every single one of them. You’re welcome to use one of the previous dividers instead if you’re not totally in love with this one.

When printing a blank divider, all you’ll have left to do will be to write down the current month’s calendar or important notes. Alternatively, you can use my printable mini calendars to date any previous dividers (they’re sized to fit):
I’ve created this calendar divider/die-cut in two versions: a blank undated one that you can use anytime you’d like (to keep notes, decorate, add any month’s calendar, etc) and a dated version that will help you keep a whole view of the month.
On top of being cute, this calendar divider is also functional. It quickly gives you a whole month’s view, can help you find your page and is even more helpful to have around if you use an undated planner. Nobody likes to get dates mixed up.
It’s also perfect if you use a bullet journal or travel notebook!
Depending on where you punch your holes and how you place your divider in your planner you can get a different look: visible or not when your planner is closed. Plus, you punch holes yourself so this divider can fit in any type of planner!
Double-sided divider:
The PDF file also includes a mirrored verso of the divider.
That means that you can actually have the mirrored divider on the back of your calendar. Glue both sides together before laminating it and punching holes in it!
You don’t necessarily have to use it if you don’t want your divider to be cute on both sides.
Plus, if you laminate your divider, you can use the verso to write important dates!
You can laminate your calendar and use a Staedtler non-permanent Lumocolor pen to write important dates, notes or to-dos on the back of my calendar. What I like about this pen is that it doesn’t smear as a whiteboard pen would. Plus, you can simply erase by swiping it with a wet napkin.
Alternatively, you can also use a Staedtler permanent Lumocolor pen, but you’ll need alcohol to rub off your writings. The pens I have are in size F.
I’ve now updated all my previous planner dividers to include a blank undated version to every single one of them. You’re welcome to use one of the previous dividers instead if you’re not totally in love with this one.
Supplies and instructions:
This “DIY” to create your monthly calendar divider is pretty self-explanatory but basically, you’ll need:
- thick paper like cardstock paper, or else your divider will probably get flimsy
- printable file
- a printer – check out my best tip to print for free or super cheap
- scissors (or cutting machine) – the shapes are really simple so using scissors is probably just as quick!
- hole puncher
- Optional: a laminator (if you want to keep them clean longer, this will also make them a little stronger)

If you prefer to use your Silhouette machine, the steps are just slightly different :

If you don’t have a cutting machine yet but would like to, you can get different types on Amazon: Silhouette Cameo, Silhouette Portrait and Cricut Explore Air 2 or Cricut Maker. I personally own a Silhouette Cameo (+ my previous Silhouette Portrait) but Cricut machines are becoming increasingly popular!

Note: I’m including a print-ready PDF file (2 pages: dated & blank undated) and an undated PNG version (that you can/should resize) of the design in case you’d like to use this printable for a different month or for a different use (die-cut, divider, digital planner, etc). Simply download the file you need.
