Today Sidekick Planner Page

Happy Saturday! 

For today's post, I've created this pretty Today Sidekick Planner Page which features the Sidekick Collection. To create my page, I've combined a variety of dies from the Planner Essentials Collection and Sidekick Essentials Collection and stamps from Charlene van der Vorst. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Sidekick Planner Page at home.

To start, die cut the page from the Sidekick Essentials 6 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Randomly sprinkle Magenta Nuance in Ocean, Turquoise and Hot Pink on the page as desired. Spritz the powder with water. Allow time for the page to dry.

Once the page has dried, apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the grid background stamp from the Make a Wish stamp set and stamp randomly on the page seven times as desired. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed. Ink the edges of the page using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose one of the reinforcements from the Reinforcement Variety Pack. Die cut the reinforcements out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. You'll need a total of six reinforcements.

From the Planner Labels die, die cut the scalloped label out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Ink the edges of the label using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the Today word from the Sidekick Essentials 1 die out of black cardstock. Cut the word down to 3/4" x 2 3/8".

Die cut the arrow from the Sidekick Essentials 3 die out of White Soft Finish Cardstock.

Die cut the filmstrip die from the Planner Essentials 24 - Photo Frame Pages out of black cardstock.

From the Planner Essentials 22 - Planner Pocket 3 - Top Loading die, die cut the arrow out of Spring Green Soft Finish Cardstock.

From the Sidekick Essentials 4 die, die cut the large and medium circles out of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Sprinkle Ocean and Turquoise Magenta Nuance on the medium circle. Spritz the powder with water. Once the circle has dried, ink the edges of both circles using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose two flowers from the A Field of Flowers Stamp Set. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to both of them and stamp them onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Colour the flowers in using the Watercolors. Fussy cut the flowers out. Ink the edges of the flowers using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the reinforcements over top of the circles on the page. Staple the filmstrip 5/8" from the left and 1/2" from the bottom of the page. 

Staple the lime green arrow 1/4" from the right of the large circle. Foam square the large circle 1 1/2" from the bottom and all the way to the left hand side of the page. The circle will hang over the edge a bit. Adhere the medium circle to the middle of the large circle. 

Use foam squares and adhesive to adhere the two flowers to the middle of the circles. 

Staple the Today word to the scalloped label. Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the Today label 1 5/8" from the bottom and 1/2" from the left of the page. Staple the arrow underneath the Today label.

Here are a few closeup photos of the page.

Here is the finished Today Sidekick Planner Page.
