Stampin Up Love Today Planner A Great Working Tool

Stampin Up Love Today Planner A Great Working Tool

Hello and welcome everyone. Today is the last day (for now) of my Love Today Planner set up and ideas and tips for creating a working tool to carry with you in a car or bag and show off everything that Stampin Up has to offer.

This week's spread showcases the Crafting Forever Stamp set and this time I stamped everything onto cardstock first and then stuck to the page.  This works far better than stamping directly onto the page if you are showing water colour techniques.

I used the lovely Sheet Music background stamp with a torn vintage look and then masked the pens an water coloured.

Our Angel Policy stamp is included in this stamp set and is worth making customers aware.  A great set to promote if customers are looking to sell their cards and projects.

A view of both pages together.  So this gives a great view of how to showcase a stamp set Crafting Forever and allow customers to see how they can use this set and for any demonstrators to plan a class easily with some ideas.

I hope you've enjoyed this week of the Love Today Planner.  Please look at subscribing to my blog and YouTube channel as I post regularly and try and show up to date project ideas and tips for all you crafters out there.

If you live in and around the Farnham Surrey area in the UK then please get I touch as I hold regular classes and I'd love you to join my team.  If you've ever thought about becoming a demonstrator then again drop me a line and I'd love to have a chat with you.

Thank you for dropping by and look forward to seeing you all soon and remember Crafting Forever Housework Whenever.

Love Today Planner The Journey Continues

Love Today Planner The Journey Continues

Hello and welcome everyone. So today the journey continues with my Love Today Planner.  I cannot emphasise enough how much I am loving the Love Today Planner.  Each day I am looking forward to creating another page.  I am an avid crafter and if I don't craft every day I start to get withdrawal symptoms.  I have boxes and boxes of cards and projects and although I do send, sell and take to craft fairs I still have way too many.  Now with my Love Today Planner I can spend some time every day crafting in the Planner and making a valuable tool to promote everything Stampin Up.

So today my first week spread.  The thought process was to take one stamp set and showcase each stamp and how I would use them.  This then becomes a library resource that I can check back on to see what colours and ideas I used.  It also makes a great tool to show off a stamp set to a customer and create excitement.

So lets look at the first page layout.

If you click on the picture you should be able to see my comments and my thought process.

Firstly I put the name of the set This Little Piggy and where to find it in the annual catalogue.

Its a great set for watercolouring.

Powder Pink ink (in my opinion) is the most realistic colour for the piggies.

As I created each day I wrote the tips that I thought and so now the week is finished it gives a great overview of this great stamp set.

This first week was very much a journaling style.  I stamped and coloured directly onto the planner page, which works pretty well, but is not the best for the watercolouring and blending with the aquapainter, as it doesn't blend as well as our cardstock or watercolour paper.

So pop back again and see how I overcame this on my second week.

Thanks so much for taking this journey with me and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow for the next instalment.

Stampin Up Love Today Planner Video Tutorial and More Ideas

Stampin Up Love Today Planner Video Tutorial and More Ideas

Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth part of my Love Today Planner journey.  If you haven't seen my other blogs then just flick back and see how the journey began.

I have compiled a video to see where I have got so far.  This gives a clearer view of exactly all the steps that I have been showing you and the first two weeks page layouts.

This Love Today Planner is such a great tool.  I didn't realise how many ideas and thoughts I wrote down on scraps of paper or in other little hardback books that I can now consolidate together in my Love Today Planner.  How many times do we look at a card or a project and can't remember what colours we used or how we did a certain technique? Well my Love Today Planner will have all this in one place. Genius! 

So have a look through the video and if you haven't already please look at subscribing to my YouTube channel as I regularly post tips and idea tutorials.

Please subscribe to this blog also as I will be posting full details of the page layouts in the Love Today Planner with pictures so you can see exactly how I created them.

Stampin Up Love Today Planner More Ideas

Stampin Up Love Today Planner More Ideas

Hello everyone and welcome to day 3 of ideas with the Love Today Planner to turn it into your craft room office containing as much Stampin Up sample and goodies as your imagination can create.

If you have not seen the progress so far then just look back at the past couple of days blog posts.

So today is starting to add some elements to the inside of the Love Today Planner.

At the beginning of each month there is a page (pictured above) which just lends itself to be decorated with Stampin Up samples.  So this first page for July I have chosen some of the favourites. The pink square is perfect for This Little Piggy. The Adirondack chair in Fresh Fig our new In Colour on the Pool Party square and then of course using Pool Party ink and the sentiment from Colourful Seasons 'May all your tomorrows be as happy as today'.  The lemon/lime square had two hearts from the Ribbon of Courage and the sentiment from Colourful Seasons.

So on one page I have shown examples of new products and colours from the Annual Catalogue.  Everyone likes to see a product in the flesh so to speak, and I think every time I use a stamp set to make a card or project I will take my Love Today Planner out and do the same card or project in it.  This will save me time as I will  already be using those sets.

I am really pleased how my Love Today Planner is taking shape.  It has only been a couple of days and I know there is a lot that I want to achieve, but the journey is great fun and anything to do with crafting and Stampin Up is a pleasure to do.  At the end I will have a Planner which I can take with me everywhere and will be a great tool and talking point for any potential customer.

Thanks for dropping by. Come back soon and see how I am progressing.

Stampin Up Love Today Planner Ideas and Tips

Stampin Up Love Today Planner Ideas and Tips

I have just received the  Stampin Up Love Today Planner and I must admit I am very impressed.

The Stampin Up Love Today Planner includes a 2 ring binder with gold metal corners for protection against knocks.  12 x month divider pages with month per view and weekly insert pages (4 pages per month) 6 sheets of sticker (3 gold and 3 printed) and four photo protector pages which hold 6 photos in each page.

Know this is a great planner for everyone.  With the schools and colleges and Universities starting in September it would make a lovely planner created how you would like.  What about a great gift for a birthday, anniversary or just a thank you to a good friend. Most importantly it is a great planner for the crafter and demonstrators.

So as a demonstrator I thought I would share with you what I am going to do with mine. I love talking about Stampin Up and everything that they have to offer at every opportunity. I always carry a few catalogues in my car, have some business cards in my purse but wish I could carry my whole craft room with me as people like to see products in the flesh.  So this is where my Love Today Planner is going to come in handy as I am going to create my craft room inside my planner.  How you ask? Well........ let me start with the photo protector pages.  The New In Colours 2017/19 are five lovely colours, so I cut out 2" squares of the cardstock and put them inside the pockets and on the sixth pocket I stamped each colour with the name alongside.

Now the idea is to all our colours in 2" squares as I can get 12 per protector sheet as I can do them back to back.  So I will be able to carry all my cardstock as samples with ink pad samples with me all the time.

This is my first idea and if you would like to join me on this journey for more ideas and how I put all my stamp sets and dies into my planner then subscribe to my blog and I will share with you as I progress.
