Stenciling Fun in Planners -Beach themed layout

Happy Friday crafty friends! I created a beach themed planner layout in my A5 planner! I love using stencils in my planner to add fun decorative background without adding bulk to the planner. La-La Land Crafts have tons of fun stencils, and always comes in coordinated sets of 2!


I love how so many of the La-La Land Crafts dies can be used for functional components of my planner layout! ;) The cloud works so perfectly for the days of the week, and I will use the postage stamps to write in the highlights of the day! :) 

Stenciling tips:

Build the colors
If you're new to stenciling using distress inks and a blending tool just remember that you have to keep building the color. There's going to be an initial phase where it doesn't look good, but once you keep blending and building the colors, it'll look good in the end! 

Prep the paper
Paper does matter when using distress inks, most crafters like using Bristol paper when blending/stenciling in backgrounds however with planning you likely don't have a choice in paper (unless you print your own inserts, even then bristol is too thick for using it as a planner insert in my opinion). Because of the chalky finish of Distress Oxide inks, the inks almost prep the paper to allow for better blending of the inks! So go ahead and use your light distress oxide inks first, give it a moment to dry then use start blending the colors. 

Shadowing/Ghosting
I haven't had any problems with shadowing with standard planner paper even when I use black distress oxide ink. However if you use a planner with super thin planner paper, like a hobonichi/tomoe river paper, then shadowing is inevitable. 

For writing space 
  • Stencil first, then write/stamp, especially if you're using distress oxide/pigment inks, since pigment inks sits on the paper surface if you stencil over your image/writing it'll dull your image/writing.
  • Keep the colors light if you want to write over the stenciled area.
  • If you want to stencil in dark colors, write with a white gel pen! The effect will look so nice!

Club La-La Land Crafts June Kit - More Project Inspo!


Hello Crafty Friends! I'm here to show a few more projects I've created using Club La-la land Craft's June 2020 kit! June 30, 2020 is the last day to subscribe to get the kit that I've used in the projects below, but if it's past June 30th, don't sweat it, you can purchase past kits with your 2nd subscription!


My first project is a planner layout in my B6 traveler's notebook. I chose unorthodox colors for the cloud and the sun, but it's kinda cool that the colors are similar to a watermelon and watermelons are so iconic for the summer! :P

My next project is a slimline card. These little piggies are making waves in this card. I used the postage stamp die and partial die cutting to make the die cut long enough for a slimline card. The panel ended up a little bit short, so I used one of the smaller postage stamp dies and a sentiment to fill the space. I love how it turned out! Sometimes my best ideas comes from having to fix a mistake or when I have to consolidate for something else!

This month's kit is beach themed and it's soo FUN! Not ready to go back to the beach yet? Let the Club Kit take you away to fun times in the sun! :) 

My first project is a monthly planner page in my A5 planner. I've got Reading on the Beach Marci laying down on the bottom corner of my planner page soaking up the sun while the piggies are making sand castles, sipping lemonade, and getting ready to snorkel! 

I used a lot of the La-La Land Crafts stencils to make really fun backgrounds on these pages! For the ripples I used distress oxide inks, first using Tumbled Glass, then Cracked Pistachio, and then Salty Ocean. I'm sooo in love with the way the waves looks!

Isn't this a fun scene of piggies at the beach? I used the Snowy Hills Layering stencil for the yellow background, the stencils are designed to be able to make a large continuous background so if you love slimline cards, buy all the stencils!!!

My first project is a monthly planner layout in my A6 ring planner, using the Farmer Marci Rubber Stamp and the Truck Die. The layout is really more Truck themed. My husband has been watching a lot of Truck Modification shows and it gave me the inspo. to do this layout. I love the theme of the kit, but it's always awesome to be able to use it in other ways! I made a really cute Felt Truck Planner charm that can be clasp onto the elastic!

My first project is a planner layout in my B6 Traveler's notebook! I wanted a nice subtle background so I used the Water Ripples Layering Stencil, I die cut the cheese using yellow cardstock and then used copic markers to add some shading details. Lastly I used the pizza toppings as a day of the week and date divider! Isn't this such a fun layout?

My next project is a fun Pepperoni Lover card! I used the Heart stencil from the Hearts & Harlequins Layering Stencil set. First I used the Squeezed Lemonade distress Ink onto white card stock, then I used worn lipstick to stencil in the heart. Then I used colored pencils to shade in the hearts and add little dots to make it look like pepperoni hearts! :P

New Stuff from Inkon3 - Fox & Bunnies!

Inkon3 sneaked in some new products and they're pretty awesome! I'll show you how I used the adorable new Fox and Bunny stamps, and the new Leafy Forest Stencil in my planner!

  
First I masked around the rectangle on the bottom of my planner pages and applied Atelier Ink Bee Sting Yellow with a blending tool. Leaving the mask on, overlay the Leafy Forest Stencil over the yellow rectangle and stencil in the leaf pattern using the Atelier Ink Marigold Orange.

On the left page of my planner, I masked around the left-most rectangle, and applied the Marigold Orange Atelier Ink with a blending tool. Then I stamped the month onto the orange background.



Next, I stamped the large image from the Fox & Bunny Hugs Clear stamp set, and the small Fox & Bunny from the Forever Friends Clear Stamp set onto sticker paper. I fussy cut the images and then colored it in with copic markers. Then I adhered the stamps as shown in the pictures above.



Lastly, I used the leaf silhouette stamp and then three dots from the Forever Friends Clear Stamp set to add some accents around the little Fox curled up with the bunny.

Copic Colors Used:
Fox (Oranges): YR68, Y38, Y35, Y32
Fox (White): W1, W0, W000
Bunny: E53, E51, E50, E000

More Club La-La Land Crafts March Club Kit Inspo.


Hello Crafty Friends! I'm here to show a few more projects I've created using Club La-la land Craft's March 2020 kit! It's too late to subscribe to get the kit that I've used in the projects below, but if you subscribe next month, you can purchase past kits with your 2nd subscription!


Do you love making your craft supplies stretch? I do! I love using my card making supplies in my planners! Here's a planner layout using the "Here's the Scoop" Unicorns. I stenciled in the background by stacking both stencils in the Funky Squares Layering Stencils to make it look like a waffle cone. I used one of the stencils from the Snowy Hills Layering Stencil to make "sprinkles".


Additional Products Used: 

Copics Used: 
Unicorn Hair: RV06, RV04, RV00

Cookies: E53, E51, E50, E25, E27

My next project is a card using the Unicorns from the "Whats the Scoop" stamp set. Doesn't it look like an Ice-Cream heaven?  I had so much fun making fluffy clouds with sprinkles on them. Since the sprinkles die cuts were so small, I put a small amount of glue on a sheet of scrap paper, and dipped the uncolored side of the paper into the glue. Having a pick up tool was very handy in handling the sprinkles.

This month's theme is SCREAM worthy...ICE-CREAM that is! :P  As always there's a Marci rubber stamp set, and the critters this month are UNICORNS! AHHHHH!


My first project is a weekly planner layout using the Unicorns from the "What's the Scoop" stamp set. Aren't they adorable? Stencils are a creative planner girl's best friend because you can add a lot of cool design elements without adding bulk to your planner. I stenciled in the clouds using La-La Land Craft's "Summer is Here" layering stencils. I cut out the Ice Cream using the "Ice Cream" dies that comes with this month's kit onto sticker paper and colored them in using copic markers. Then I finished it off with some rainbow planner stickers and washi tape!

Ice Cream Bowl: B00, B000, B0000
Cherry: R27, R24, R22, YG25, YG03

My second project is a card using the "Marci with Ice Cream" stamp. I tried to mimic an ice-cream parlor's awning by using a striped patterned paper from the "Love you More" paper pack, and the "Scalloped Rectangles Die". The pink heart patterned paper is also from the "Love you More" paper pack! The "You are Sweet" was die cut using some paper from the "Blue Christmas" designer paper pack! Isn't it awesome how so many of La-La Land Craft's paper packs coordinate with each other?

I'll admit that coloring this Marci's hair seemed overwhelming at first, but just keep adding the the layers of coloring and it will look fantastic!
