Magical Planner Layout by Cheryl

Hi Crafty friends! It's Cheryl with the Inkon3 Design Team here to show you how to make a magical planner layout using the Magic Dragons Stamp set and the Phat Alphanumeric Stamps!

First, I masked my dot-grid planner so that I can stencil in a colorful blue and purple background.

Using a foam blender, I added purple and blue ink to my planner pages. It takes a little bit of effort to build enough coverage so don';t get discouraged if the background doesn't initially look the way you want.

My stencil was a little smaller than my page, so I picked up the stencil and continued to stencil in below the larger block of color. 

Next, I stamped the Magic Dragons and Phat Alphanumeric stamps, using the Blackout Hybrid Detail Ink, onto sticker paper and then fussy cut them. Then I added them onto my planner layout. (Tip: I like to apply the stickers and then color, to be more efficient. I used to stamp and then color, but I often had unused colored images). I accidentally stamped out July for the month! LOL, but thank goodness I use removable sticker paper! :P 

Then I colored in the stamped images using copic markers. I also used a light grey pen to draw a divider for each day of the week. I added some washi tape to the white gap between the stenciled areas too!

I felt like I needed to add something to the bottom right box, so I decided to mask around that box and randomly stamp some of the diamonds, hearts, etc. to make a fun pattern!

Lastly, I used a white gel pen to add a few fun details! I hope you liked my planner pages and that it has inspired you to create a magical planner layout too!

Copic colors used:

Blues: B01, B00, B000, B000

Purples: BV01, BV00, BV000, BV0000

Greys: N1, N0

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Cheryl here to show you how to make a fun and easy accessory for your planner! If you love cute critters and coffee then this would be a fabulous dashboard calendar for your planner!

First I used a rectangular die to cut out some alcohol marker friendly white cardstock. For my A6 ringed planner, I cut out a 4.5”x6” sheet of double sided patterned cardstock and punched it (but you can cut out the size that’s appropriate for your planner). Next, using the Inkon3 Blackout ink, I stamped the adorable little Raccoon holding a coffee mug from the “Raccoon Hugs” stamp set and die cut it using the coordinating dies.  

Next I colored in the Raccoon image using alcohol markers. I also added some latte art onto the Raccoon’s coffee using the round heart image from the “Raccoon Hugs” Stamp set, I stamped it using Juicy Clear Embossing & Watermark ink and Artic White embossing powder, and then heat set it. Then I used distress oxide inks to add a background color for the Raccoon white cardstock. I added the “Love you a Latte” sentiment to the top of the white cardstock. 

I stamped a calendar on the bottom of the white cardstock and added a few hearts (also from the Raccoon Hugs stamp set) as accents and colored those in to match the coffee mug.  I also added a little bit of washi tape for more decorations. Lastly, I glued the Raccoon onto the white cardstock over the colored background, and then adhered the white cardstock onto the patterned cardstock. 

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project that is a staple accessory in my planner! Have a wonderfully crafty day!
