How to create a cute Pocket for your Planner

Happy Wednesday! I'm excited to share with you today how to create a cute pocket for your planner that you can move week to week within the month to document important things or things to remember. To create my pocket, I've used a variety of dies and stamps from the planner collection, die from Els van de Burgt Studio and patterned paper from ModaScrap to create my pocket. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite winter beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you on how to recreate my pocket. 


From the Planner Pocket #2 die, die cut the circle wreath twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.


Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Relax in the Garden Paper pack. Die cut a 2 1/2" Fitted circle out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the circle using Acorn Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut the 2" Fitted circle out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Die cut the 1 1/2" circle from the Planner Essentials #2 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of both circles using Acorn Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Wood Effect Paper pack. Die cut the Noted Circle out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the circle using Acorn Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Essentials #2 die, die cut the large tag twice out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. From the Family stamp set, you'll need the Remember This stamp. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Remember This stamp and stamp onto one of the tags. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the For the Record stamp and stamp onto the other tag. Ink the edges of the tags using Acorn Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Wood Effect Paper pack. Die cut the Pocket from the Planner Pocket #1 out of the patterned paper. Flip the patterned paper over and die cut the pocket again out of the patterned paper. Fold the edges on the fold line. Ink the edges of the pockets using Acorn Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the two pocket pieces together by putting adhesive on all of the tabs on one of the pockets. 


Adhere one of the circle wreaths to the middle of the pocket. Adhere the other circle wreath slightly off center overtop of the first circle wreath.


Adhere the noted circle to the 1 3/8" white circle. Adhere the 1 3/8" white circle to the 2" white circle. Adhere the 2" white circle to the 2 1/2" patterned paper circle. Foam square the 2 1/2" patterned paper circle to the middle of the circle wreath.


To finish off the top of the two tags, tie brown seam binding ribbon to the top of each tag. Slide the tags into the top of the pocket.


Here are a few closeups of the pocket.




Here is the finished pocket.
