2016/17 Kaisercraft Design Team Application

Hello love bugs!

Today, I have a super fun tutorial to share with you all. Using scrapbooking goodies from Kaisercraft, I want to show how versatile these products can be. There aren't many products that are made specifically for planners but you can easily use scrapbooking goodies for your planners! So today we will be creating our own planner dividers!

My Kaisercraft supplies for this project:

And for non-Kaisercraft supplies. I have:

As you can see, you don't need many supplies. If you don't have a planner punch, using a single hand paper punch works too. I find that using old planner dividers as a template is the easiest, but some crafters prefer using a cut file with their cutting machine. Use whatever you have at hand. 

The first step is to trace the outline of the divider onto scrapbooking paper:

After cutting out all of your new dividers, you'll need to grab your embellishment goodies to start decorating your new dividers. The great thing about the Kaisercraft Boho Dreams patterned paper pack is that it includes a bonus sticker sheet that is perfect for ebellishing the dividers:

You can see my newly cut dividers and embellishing goodies. I love this bonus sticker sheet and Boho Dreams die cut collectibles! I find that the best way to embellish things is to move things around and to layer, just have fun with it! Even I peeled things off to move them elsewhere, it's a lot of trial and error. 

Here are my planner dividers after I've finished decorating them, I'm seriously in love with the outcome:

After that, I punched holes using my Rapesco punch and whipped out my laminator to protect my new dividers. If you don't own a laminator, you can go to your local office store like staples to have them laminate them for you:

Now your last step is to put your beautiful new dividers into your planner! What I love about this patterned paper pack from Kaisercraft is that it's double sided. So they look extra beautiful in your planner. Here are my dividers in their new home:

I hope you'll all enjoy this tutorial today!! I always love finding innovative ways to use scrapbooking goodies and I adore my new dividers. I love the watercolor and floral theme of Kaisercraft's Boho Dreams collection.

Mommy!hey's First Birthday

Hello my love bugs!

I have a really special blog post for you all today. The month of February this year was a really special one to me. There were a lot of important events such as my first day at my first job out of graduation, my five years anniversary with kev, kev landing a job with my company, and of course Mommylhey's first birthday!

The creator and owner, Lhey, is a very special friend of mine. We hit it off a few years ago and became close but I instantly noticed her creative talents. I remember when she was simply brainstorming ideas and I was ecstatic! I knew she'd produce the cutest supplies for our planner community and here I am, still supporting her 100%. 

Lhey asked me to be the guest designer of this month's stamp release in honor of their 1 year anniversary and of course I said yes! So without further adieu, let's get to the photos. 

Here is a full photo of all of the stamp sets that Lhey released this month:

This is how I used her stamp sets for my February monthly spread in my inkwell press planner:

You all just have to check out Lhey's Instagram and shop if you haven't had the chance to yet. I'll apologize in advance if you end up putting everything into your cart! But trust me on this, you won't regret it. 

I hope you all enjoy my monthly spread and I'd like to thank Lhey for being such an amazing soul and friend. Thank you for all that you are! <3

Cocoa Daisy July Daisy Day Planner Kit

Hi loves!

I wanted to share with you all a to-do spread that I created using the Cocoa Daisy July Daisy Day Planner kit in my Kate Spade planner.

Before I share my photos, I wanted to give a disclaimer that Cocoa Daisy has gotten super popular as of late. This means that their kits sell out fairly quickly! But don't be discouraged because Christine has started up subscriptions that you can sign up for to avoid missing out on a super cute kit and end up regretting it.

Without further adieu, here are the photos of my work:

This is the entire kit:

 This is the entire spread:

 I used the super cute stamps to add some embellishment to this already beautiful insert and how cute is that ahoy planner charm?! :

 This is the actual to-do insert. I used stamps again to add embellishment. It's a little difficult to see but I used the starfish stamp with a light orange ink color to mark my water consumption:

And that's all folks! I hope you'll like my work here and stay tuned for more blog posts!

InkWELL Press Planner

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share some tips and information on how I'm using my InkWELL Press Planner. I use this planner specifically for my design teams and as a business planner for my Etsy Shop.

On the side bar on the right, I like to cover the writings with slim washi tape in order to label those sections for what works for me. I use the three boxes for "REVENUE", "FAVORITES", and "VIEWS" so you can see where I stamp the letters "R", "F", and "V" to abbreviate those things.

Here are some photos of my recent spreads:

Using Printables in Your Planner

Hi lovebugs!

I know it has been awhile since I've last posted here on my blog, my schedule never seems to let up! I really will try my best to post more often. So without further adieu, I would love to share with you all how I utilize printables in my planner.

Here is what I used:

• June Cocoa Daisy Inserts
• June Subscriber Printable* (on a full label sheet)
• Date Roller Stamp
• Washi Tape
• Sticky Notes (from June’s Daisy Day Planner Add-On Kit)

From there, I printed the printable onto a full adhesive shipping label which is essentially a sheet of sticker paper. If you're trying to find it in stores like Wal-Mart or Target, look for the words "full shipping label sheet", I happen to order mine from onlinelabels. 

I own a cutting machine and used the machine to cut out the images into stickers so that I can just peel the image from the sheet as a sticker to use in my planner. If you don't own a cutting machine, you can easily print it onto the label sheet or card stock then cut out the images with scissors yourself. From there, use a glue stick or tape runner to adhere the images to your inserts or planner.

Here are the photos of how my inserts turned out (keep in mind that I plan as I go which is why there are blank spaces):

That's it for today! I hope you'll all enjoy this post and thank you so much for your continuous support!
