Hello everyone,
Its Kavitha here today and i am sharing the inside pages of my planner.Hope you are enjoying amazing tips from all our DT's.I never used a planner and this is something new to me.So i kept my pages quiet simple,so let see the first page on my planner
I used a insert to match the cover page of my planner(if you remeber i made it in teal color) and used some inspirational words stickers and a die cut from papericious .
Here is the insert page for February ,i have used some love theme stickers and word sticker is from the planner kit.
Here is my monthly page for February,those clear words from the planner kit is really awesome.As you can see i went crazy with sticker,i love stickers and i hoard a lot of them and thought this is the perfect time to use them.The icon stickers are from the planner kit, you get a lot of them and there are some really useful ones.I also used some simple stories stickers and puffy stickers from my stash.
Here is my weekly page, i mostly used it for my DT assignments and blog post.Again i used a lot of stickers and kept my page really simple(or i should say i have just started and still clueless about many thing regarding planner),but i hope you can find a little inspiration from my pages.
This is Manu here and i'm going to showcase how you can use bookmarks in your planners. My first detailed post about the color splash planner by Papericious can be seen here where I have covered an in-depth view of how to use the planners and I also have a few videos and an extensive view of how I'm using my color splash planner.
I'm sure that you must be enjoying the pretty planners that Papericious has launched, they have come up with two amazing planners, a colorful one called Color Splash and a vintage one (for the very first time) called as Retro Chic! Both are amazing and by now you might have had a look of both in the planner inspiration posts done by my fellow DT's .
I'm going to show you how I use the bookmarks in my planner. Nothing very fancy, but it's all handmade!!!
I have made about ten bookmarks and a few are a little different from one another. I also have a little fun technique done on how to make the bookmark last longer and avoid them being teared !
You can see a peeping head on top of the planner and a few on top of the planner. Letme show you the insides.
I wanted a few personalized bookmarks and I made then using a papericious panel and the stamps.
I kept it very very simple, nothing tooo fancy, it has some of the quotes that I really like!
Now I also wanted this bookmark to last longer, hence I laminated it!! okay, it's not a store done lamination, but a very simple and pocket friendly which I did. I covered it up with Cellophene Tape!! Now that is sure easy peasy and it sure protects your bookmarks!
Once I was done with how I wanted the bookmark to be, I punched the holes and slided it inside!
Notice the little label? I kept that to scribble something on it with the white board marker. Easily erasable since I have the tape on the complete bookmark!
I also wanted a prima doll (and this stamp is a gift from a dear friend and I love this one to the core) so I used a bookmark that was included in the kit and stuck the prima doll on top.
Here's another bookmark!!! I have always loved the Mason Jar's and I was sure I needed this one in the planner!
I made my own Shopping list panel!!!
and here's a MENU planning bookmark that I did!!! The good thing about these bookmarks is that they are re-writable and can also flop from one week to another!! So I need not make a new one each week!
Here are a few more bookmarks that I made!!!
See that butterfly, bunny and the apple one?? They are all handmade!!! All I did was to stamp the images I like, color the, protect them with the tape and then mounted them on to the u-clips that one can get in the local store!!!
The Bunny with the quote and the one with flower is made in a little different way! I took a bookmark that came along and folded it in half, then using some magnetic tape, I cutted out strips of magnetic tape and glued it to the inside of the folded bookmark on both the sides!! Now, you can embellish the bookmark!! Easy peasy, Isn't it??
I'm sure your must have liked the little itty bitty things I have done to make my planner all bright and fun looking!!! Who says that the planning part is boring and dull?? It's all fun and super exciting to do when you all a few things to jazz up and color the planners!!
I do hope you all would love to make a few things for your planners too!! I hope you do!!
Do letme know if you liked the post and until next time!!
Hello everyone,
its kavitha here today to show the cover customization for retro chic planner .You must have got an insight of the planner contents from Hussena's post,its in my favorite color teal n subtle vintage touch..So i decided to replicate the feel of the planner in my cover and wanted to keep it simple and user friendly as this is something that i am going to use it everyday.Now its not my cup of tea to keep it simple,but i tried my best not to add any embellishments and created layers only with colors and modelling paste.
I have used canvas cloth to work on,added layers of Deco art fluid acrylics in shades of teal,sage green n coral.After i got the desired shades i used a decoart large stencil and modelling paste.Added some highlights using white paint and did some random stamping.
The words are from kasiercraft stamp,which made real sense to my current mindset,true words to live by.Everything starts with a dream,hope you too can make some of your dreams come true this year with our beautiful planner:).
You would have gone through the post of Manu regarding this
lovely product launched by Papericious – The 2016 Planner-Colour Splash. Manu in her unique,
clear and unambiguous description has highlighted the numerous uses of this
Planner. Great work Manu. Today I give you one more compelling reason to not
only own this delightful product but also show your own creativity to make the
Planner reflect yourself and make your desk stand out with your imaginations.
Today I give this Planner an Arty Twist.
I have created the cover of the Planner into a reflection of
your inspirations, your dreams and your journey as you go through the days and
weeks of 2016.
The fairy wings, impressions of butterfly,butterflies embellishments , impressions of leaves amidst an array of vibrant colours, would
inspire you to go through the journey of 2016 fulfilling your dreams and
achievements.
This cover is created using modeling paste, flutterfly and moving leaf stencil, fairy wings and butterfly embellishments and flying butterflies
made of jute. Using shimmers spray, mica powders, lindy's spray, glass glitter, flakes, I have tried to reflect my
impressions of the year to come – lively, vivacious, exciting and dreamy. I am
sure you would also create this planner using the Papercious 2016 planner,
reflecting your creative impressions and motivate you to go through 2016 –
alive and partying!!!!
Happy journey into your
2016 Dreams with Papercious Planner.
Manu here, and my post today is all about the January 2016 release from Papericious which is none other than the much awaited PLANNERS!!! What more, the planner has 2 styles!!! One is a very colorful Color splash and the other is a heaven for Vintage lovers, called Retro Chic !
Planners is the new found interest everywhere and what better way to plan and keep track of all the important things than the planner! It really helps to keep all things at one place and I know this for sure since I had been using a planner (a printable from the internet, which I'll also show in the video) since november 2015 and it really helped me in keeping a track of my To-do's and I also used to jot down a few memories, anything that happened which would be worth visiting over again. With multi tasking, I was kind of forgetting things to do and using the planner was kind of a boon to me!! I owe a lot to this.
I'am going to show you the planner in action, there are 2 video's. I had taken the first video which is a complete picture of how the color splash planner looks like and what all accessories comes with it. This was taken before I started working on the planner when I received it around mid Jan.
The other video captures how I have used my planner to keep track of the stuff I want to remember and my day to day professional and my routine! (I had started designing the same as soon as I shot the first video, it's exciting to set up the planner and I had seen numerous posts off the internet on how to plan !! So, I had in mind the way I wanted to set it all up! ). I have also made some additions to the planner as per my plan of setting up the planner, you can see those in the video and the pictures below too!
Checkout the first view of the planner here :
Here's the video of the planner in action !!!
( Sorry about my voice, I'm down with a little cold and cough !! )
I also have pictures of each page in the planner to see how and what goes where!!
There are a lot of pics, so sit back and enjoy!!!
This is the color splash planner, I love the pastel pink shade it has and I did purchase some writing accessories to go along. Some coloured pens and a few neon tape rolls, that I thought would blend perfectly with the planners!
I have kept all the planner accessories on the left behind the pocket for easy access. I also make 2 bookmarks with the journal cards that comes with the planner.
Here's a pic with the complete planner accessories !! I love this planner for its very colorful and vibrant!!
Now, here are some additions that I made for my planner! Since the planner did not had additional pages so I added a few pages, this one is the Vellum sheet that I added as per the planner measurement, and embossed some nice quotes!! These quotes are from the technique tuesday stamps!
I also added this sheet on the right from another papericious paper stack (color conceptions) and the journal card is from a simple stories pack!
Now this is the back of the extra A5 papericious sheet that I added and I had decided to use this blank page for the introduction. Since there was no page which indicated that 'this planner belongs to' I added these 2 sheets to utilize the area!
I stamped a few quotes along with my handwritten quotes and some washi tape to make it look brighter and in sync with the color splash theme of the planner! the stamps are from one of the Heidi Swapp stamp sets!
The Bee awesome is a printable that I had from long ago and this went very well with my planner!
I wanted to keep a few goals and resolutions I had for this new year 2016(we all make those resolutions, right), but I wanted to keep remembering it everytime I worked on the planner and there's no better way to jot them down and keep seeing them!!! The planner does have a year goals page (which is consistent for all months, but then I used the first one for the year goals and the rest, I'll be using for the monthly goals.
I also added a small panel here from another journal collection to jot down things I love doing!!
That's the year 2016 goals page that comes along with the planner! Still not complete, coz there are always more ways to plan and learn.
This is the monthly insert and I have used a couple of stamps, some washi tape to make it look more brighter and eye catching!! the best thing about these planners are that they come undated, so you can start wherever and whenever you wish to!
This is the weekly page!! I started off using the planner for FEB and have clear defined work to do this week. The slots for next week are partially filled, but I do have a pic for the same too!
Since there was ample of space to write down for each day. I divided my space in 2 halfs, to keep my personal and professional work apart and not mix them! (I know I mixed it all up here, but that's what I'm gonna remember in the future to keep them seperate) I also plan to use the right hand side of each day for keeping track of the shopping list that I have! so this basically serves the purpose of 'No shopping/Notes column' with the color splash planner (I know there's one in the Retro Chic planner)
Here's a closer look at the weekly page!
The whole Idea of using the planner is to be organized and keep track of the things to do, but that does not mean that you need to do it the mundane way!! Do it the BRIGHT and the COLOURFUL way!!!
This is my next week and you can see that I have it partially filled, but it's soon gonna get it's share!!
The Blogpost page is the one where I keep track of the blog posts that I need to do for my own blog and for the design teams that I'm a member of!! So I have the dates on which my posts is scheduled along with a little hint of what the post will be all about!
This is the complete COLOR SPLASH planner kit and I must say that this one is very colorful with bright and cheery colors!
I do hope you all will be inspired to use planners henceforth for planning out stuff and keeping track of the things!! I know it can be a tiring thought to think about the stuff to do and then jot it down also, but give it a try, this seems a little difficult at first, but just about 10 mins of daily planning can help you do a lot of things at proper times and save you from untimed hassles!!!
Be sure to get back to this space, we will have more inspiration from our DT members soon with their take on the planners and it's all about planners this month. With lots of inspiration and reading I'm sure you will love it all!!
