Bear-y Fun Floatie Party!

Hi everyone! I did a planner layout in my mini happy planner using some digital stamps from crafting desert Divas! This was inspired by their July mood board.

 

 

 

 

I printed the digis onto sticker paper and then fussy cut them. I had some thin patterned paper that I cut to get the scalloped edging using one of the CDD fancy frame dies. Then I cut some vellum using CDD one of the ocean border dies and used distress ink in tumbled glass to color the vellum light blue! Then I used a adhesive tape runner to attached the paper and vellum to my planner page!

 

Alcohol Markers Used for image above:
Spectrum Noir: BT2, BT4, BT5, CT4,CT2, IG6, IG8, PP1,PP3

 

 

I also used the stars from the CDD Mix it Up die set for the dates in my planner!

I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas!

Craftin Desert Divas' July release is up and I loveee their new digital stamps! Here's a layout I did with some of their Christmas in July themed digital stamps!

I used some distress inks on the upper right corner to make a night sky and then drew stars in with a white jelly roll pen. All of the digis were colored in with alcohol markers. All of the die cuts were colored in using distress inks.

The My Favorite Thing Penguins in paradise are simply adorable and went so well with the tropical drinks washi from recollections! All of the functional planner stamps and alphas are from Studio l2e!

Freshly Squeezed Traveler's Notebook Setup!

Hello Everyone! I decorated my Traveler's notebook with some clips and some inserts I made using Craftin Desert Diva's Freshly Squeezed Digital stamps!

I used Crafter's Companion Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Cardstock and printed all of the digital stamps from my inkjet printer. I cut the images using my Silhouette Portrait but you can fussy cut by hand. Then I colored in the images with alcohol markers.

Tip: When importing the digital images into word, I always use the *.PNG files so there's no white space around the image, it makes it so easy to layer images cleanly!

For the top left shaker clip, I layered the lemon and lemon slices in word using the *.png files and positioned the picture to "in front of text". The circle portion of the clip was cut using the Craftin Desert Divas Mini Shaker Clip dies!

The other two shaker clips were done by printing two of the same images (in this case the pitcher of lemonade and a glass of lemonade). One of each image were kept in tact, in the second image I cut out a window to glue acetate on. I copied the cut shapes of the pitcher and glass in the Silhouette design studios to have backing to cover the paper clip.

Eeeek! This is getting long! I'll have to do a separate entry with more details on how to make planner clips!
