Week No. 2 Planner Spread

Happy Friday! 

I have been busy setting up my planner spread for this week. To create my planner spread, I've combined some of the new dies and stamps from the Planner Essentials Collection along with some of the older dies and stamps. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite wintertime beverage and learn how to recreate my Week No.2 Planner Spread.

From the Planner Essentials - 9 die, you'll need the page die. Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Serendipity Paper pack. Die cut the page out of the paper. From the Background Stamps 1 stamp set, you'll need the number stamp. Apply Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the number stamp and stamp on the bottom of the page, starting at the bottom left hand side. Reapply ink to the stamp and continue stamping at the bottom of the page. From the Pieces of Life 2 - Numbers & Labels stamp, you'll need the Week, No. and 2, arrange on the page and then put on your stamp blog. Apply Walnut Stain Distress Ink to the stamps and stamp on the top left side of the page. Ink the edges of the page using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Choose one of the coordinating papers from the paper pack and die cut the page from the Planner Essentials - 4 die out of it. Ink the edges of the page using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Next, you'll need the reinforcement hexagons from the Planner Essentials - 5 die out of the two papers you've used for the pages. Ink the edges of all twelve reinforcement hexagons using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

You'll need the paper you've used for the pages as well as three other patterned papers from the paper pack. Choose four of the note pieces from the Planner Essentials - 21 Note Pieces die. From the right page paper, die cut one note piece out of one of the note pieces die. From the left page paper, die cut two note pieces out of two of the note pieces die. From the third patterned paper, die cut two note pieces out of two of the note pieces die. From the fourth patterned paper, die cut one note piece out of one of the note pieces die. From the fifth patterned paper, die cut one note piece out of one of the note pieces die. Ink the edges of all of the pieces using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. 

From the Planner Essentials - 27 Retro Number Trio die, you'll need to choose two banner styles. You'll also need the patterned paper you used on the right hand page. From the front side of the paper, die cut two of the same size banners. From the back side of the paper, die cut one small and one medium sized banners. Ink the edges of all four banners using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Piece of Life 2 - Numbers & Labels stamp set, you'll need the two lined with box stamps. Place each one on a block. Start with the first one and apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp two more times on the same White Soft Finish Cardstock piece. Next, you'll need the second stamp, apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the stamp and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp three more times on the same White Soft Finish Cardstock piece. From the Calendar stamp, you'll need the days of the week abbreviations. Apply Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink to each day and stamp one day in each of the boxes. Cut out all seven boxes. Ink the edges of all seven boxes using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam. Fill in each box using a black gel pen.

Now, we will assemble the left hand page. 

Adhere the blue reinforcement hexagons over each circle on the left hand page. Adhere the two blue banners to the top right side of the page.

Adhere three of the note pieces as desired on the page. Adhere Monday to Wednesday on top of the note pieces.

Now, we will assemble the right hand page. 

Adhere the cream reinforcement hexagons over each circle on the right hand page. Adhere the two leafy banners to the top right side of the page.

Adhere the remaining note pieces as desired to the page, making sure that they are layered.

To finish the page, adhere the Thursday to Sunday boxes on top of the note pieces.

Here are a few closeup photos of the Week No. 2 Planner Spread.

Here is the finished Week No. 2 Planner Spread.

You'll want to check out their Facebook Page, Instagram and Blog as they will be giving prizes away all day. For my project, I created a Happy Birthday card featuring products from Bo Bunny, Emerald Creek Craft Supplies, Elizabeth Craft Designs, Ranger Ink and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and read below as I share with you how to recreate my Happy Birthday Card at home.

To start, die cut the 3" Stitched Rectangle die out of a piece of Super Stock Cardstock. Once the rectangle has been cut out, place the 2 1/4" Stitched Square die 1/2" from the top and 3/8" from the left of the stitched rectangle. Cut the stitched square out. 

Once the square has been cut out of the top portion of the rectangle. Apply Emboss It Ink to the entire surface of the rectangle. After the ink has been applied, sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder over the entire rectangle. Emboss the rectangle with the heat tool. You'll need to reapply Emboss It Ink in the areas where the powder didn't stick. Sprinkle Burnt Copper Leaves Embossing Powder over the spots that have ink on them. Emboss the spots with the heat tool. 

Cut a piece of Super Stock Cardstock that measures 7/8" x 1 1/2". Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the Happy Birthday sentiment stamp. Stamp the Happy Birthday Sentiment onto the cut piece of Super Stock Cardstock. Using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool, ink the edges of the sentiment.

From the Typewriter patterned paper, cut a piece that measures 5" x 7". Distress the edges of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the patterned paper using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

From the Hidden Treasures patterned paper, cut a piece that measures 6 3/4" x 4 3/4". Cut a second piece that measures 2 1/4" x 5 7/8".  Distress the edges of both pieces of patterned paper. Ink the edges of the patterned papers using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

With the Hidden Treasures patterned paper still out, fussy cut a key a letter. Ink the edges of the fussy cut images with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

From the Bricks patterned paper, cut a piece that measures 4 1/2" x 6 1/2". Distress the edges of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the patterned paper using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

Ink the edges of the hot air ballon using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

From the Graphic patterned paper, fussy cut three frames. Ink the edges of the frames using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

From the Utopia patterned paper, fussy cut two frames and the ampersand out of the frame. Ink the edges of the frames and ampersand with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool. 

From the Old School patterned paper, fussy cut a telephone and two cassette tapes. Ink the edges of the telephone and tapes using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a Blending Tool.

Now it's time to assemble your card.

Adhere the letter patterned paper to the dot patterned paper. Adhere the brick paper to the letter patterned paper. 

On the top right side of the grey/blue patterned paper, slightly tear the paper down. On the bottom left side of the grey/blue patterned paper, slightly tear the paper up. Adhere the grey/blue patterned paper to the brick patterned paper.

Adhere the second frame with image in behind the embossed frame.

Add adhesive on the left hand side of the embossed frame. Add foam squares on the right hand side of the embossed frame. Adhere the embossed frame 3/4" from the top and  1/4" from the left  of the blue frame. 

On the right hand side of the embossed frame, adhere a frame, a telephone and a cassette tape.

Adhere the other cassette tape underneath the telephone cord. Adhere the Happy Birthday sentiment 1/8" from the left and 3/8" from the bottom of the embossed frame.

Adhere the small frame slightly overtop of the bottom of the frame. The small frame will slightly sit over the Happy Birthday sentiment.

Adhere the fussy cut letter overtop of the frame, showing a bit on the right hand side. Foam square the ampersand slightly over the letter.

Foam Square the hot air balloon slightly overtop of the letter and the ampersand. 

Cut a cardbase out of Super Stock Cardstock that measures
