March Week #1 - Planner Post

Happy Saturday! I'm excited to be sharing with you Week 1 of my planner spread. I've been playing with the different stamps and dies in the planner collection from Elizabeth Craft Designs to my pages. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and read below as I have a tutorial for you on how to recreate my planner spread. 


To start, you'll need to die cut the left hand planner page from the Planner Essentials 4 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Next, you'll need to die cut the right hand planner page from the Planner Essentials 2 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. On a gel press plate, you'll need to put three large dots of Jade, Butter and Spanish Mulberry PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics. Using a brayer, mix the colours together by covering the plate with all of the paint. Press in a stencil and bubble wrap randomly on the plate. Press one of the pages into the plate, peel off and set aside. Repeat the previous steps for the other page.  Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the March month out of the Calendar stamp set and stamp onto the tab of the right hand side page.


Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the zigzag stamp from the Schedule stamp set and stamp randomly on the left hand side of the page. Apply ink to the stamp as many times as needed and stamp as many times as desired. Repeat the previous step for the right hand side of the page. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the bubbles stamp from the Patterns 2 stamp set and stamp randomly on the left hand side of the page. Apply ink to the stamp as many times as needed and stamp as many times as desired. Repeat the previous step for the right hand side of the page. Ink the edges of each page using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Essentials 3 die, die cut five banners out of black cardstock.


From the Planner Essentials 2 die, die cut the date and two arrows die out of black cardstock. Write the week date on the date tag.




From the Planner Essentials 1 die, die cut 12 reinforcement circles out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of each circle using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Planner Essentials 2 die, die cut six small tags out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to each of the day stamps from the Calendar stamp set and stamp on each of the tags. Note that the weekend shares one tag. Write on your tags whatever you desire.  Ink the edges of each tag using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Adhere the reinforcement circles over each circle on each page.


Now we'll work on the left hand page. Adhere a banner to the right hand side of the Monday and Wednesday tags. Adhere the date tag 3/8" from the left and 2 1/2" from the bottom of the page. Adhere the Monday to Wednesday tags to the page as desired. Adhere one of the arrows to the top right hand side of the Monday tag.


Next we'll work on the right hand page. Adhere a banner to the right hand side of the Thursday, Friday and Weekend tags. Adhere the Thursday to Weekend tags to the page as desired. Adhere one of the arrows to the bottom left hand side of the weekend tag.
