Pretty Planner Clip

I am a huge planner geek and I love spending weekend afternoons decorating my planner pages for the week ahead. I decided to make a video this week to show how I made this pretty planner clip.

I hope you enjoy seeing how it was made. I really enjoyed shooting and editing the video!

Supplies used:

Sizzix Big Shot Plus

Standard Magnetic Platform

Mint Cutting Pads

Thinlits Die - Intricate Garden Flowers

Thinlits Die - Back To Nature #2

Card stock

Hot Glue

Glue Stick

Paper Clip

Owl paper clip for your planner

Hi everybody! Elena here. 

Do you like planners? I love them and I like to decorate them seasonally. So this week I have created a paper clip perfect for autumn, with the Little Owl Thinlits Die Set from Craft Asylum.

Supply list:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus
• 660813 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Little Owl
• Card: brown, red, white, cream, green
• Big paper clip
• Hot glue gun

To make this owl paper clip you will have to die cut the body of the owl twice and glue both front and back with some glue on the ears. Then hot glue it to the top of the paper clip. Finally, die cut the other parts of the owl and glue them to the front of the clip. 

I love how it goes with the autumn theme of my october pages in my planner, but if you aren't into planners you can use it as a bookmark.

Happy planning!

Elena

¡Hola a todos!

¿os gustan las agendas? La verdad es que a mí me encantan y además me encanta decorarlas de acuerdo con cada estación del año. Hoy os enseño este clip-búho que he hecho con sólo un troquel.

Para hacer este clip tenéis que troquelar el cuerpo del búho un par de veces y pegar las dos partes por las orejitas. Después lo pegáis a la parte superior del clip con cola caliente y le ponéis los demás detalles que lo adornan. 

Así de sencillo. me encanta cómo queda este clip en mi agenda con la decoración de otoño, aunque si no os gusta decorar vuestra agenda también lo podéis utilizar como punto de lectura.

¡Espero que os guste!

Decorating A Planner

I am a bit of a planner nerd at heart and often find new planners to add to my collection. I recently received a spiral bound 'Life Planner' which was fairly blank on the front and back covers, with the exception of some gold lettering.

So I decided it needed the Sizzix treatment and made some pretty planner decorations for the cover!

The planner cover is made from a nice cardboard so it was easy to stick decorations to it with some PVA glue. I used a gold and peach colour theme and used some of the cut out shapes to decorate with too.

Items used include:

Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine

Sizzix Bigz Die - Tribal Hearts

Scrapbooking Papers

PVA Glue

A quick and easy DIY to make the planner look a lot prettier. Customising a planner is a great way to put your own style on it too!

Happy planning!

Planner Dashboard

I am such a planner nerd it was only a matter of time I used my Sizzix Big Shot to decorate my new Kikki K planner.

Planner 'dashboards' are the inside cover of your planner and usually indicate the theme and colour scheme for the rest of the planner. I decided to make all my own inserts and dividers for the planner in a grey and pink palette.

Here are some step by step photos of how I made the planner dashboard.

I like using a combination of embossing folders, thinlits dies and bigz dies for each project.

I added a slogan to motivate me and keep me in a productive mindset each time I open the planner.

Here is the finished layout! I wanted to use a mixture of textures and patterns, but used a colour theme to tie it all together.

Here is a list of all the supplies I used to decorate my planner dashboard:

• Sizzix Big Shot Plus
• Sizzix Bigz Die - Tribal Hearts
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set - Speech Bubbles
• Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Candy Hearts
• Glue Stick
• Dear Lizzie Thickers - Gold Foil on Foam Letter Stickers
• Pale Pink Glitter Tape by Heidi Swapp Marquee Love
• Fiskars Single Hole Punch
• Craft Asylum Scrapbooking Papers

I hope you enjoyed my planner DIY today. Do share your planner projects with us too!
