Planner goodies!

I'm deep in the journey to find the elusive 'planner peace' (probably something like runner's high!)

I don't have a laminating machine, but wanted to make a pretty 'dashboard' for my planner - without breaking the bank. You see on many famous crafters when they make a card then list on their blog what they use - 15 items all of them 15$+ and you think, I can't afford all that to make a CARD.

So here's my simple version

The letters are from Mama Elephant Sketchy letters and the cub cuddles stamp set. Stamped the letters in clear versamark ink then embossed with white embossing powder. Stamped the bears with Versafine ink in Toffee, then colored the bears with my zig clean watercolor marker (beige) and fussy-cut by hand.

The letters are from Mama Elephant Sketchy letters and the Tiny Heros stamp set. Stamped the letters in clear versamark ink and dried with heat gun (no embossing powders).  Stamped the hero with Versafine ink in black, then colored with zig watercolor markers and fussy-cut by hand.

in LOVE with pretty pink posh dies!

I finally got to make some tags in between kid and work... :)
and in LOVE with Pretty Pink Posh's die sets - the cut like butter in my cuttlebug!

I love this one using their Stitched Photo Frames die and my Greetings Farms fox, LawnFawn stitched landscape background, LawnFawn heart stamp from their HelloBaby set, and 'with love' sentiment from a TiddlyInks stamp set that I have. I have NO idea how the creative crafters out there only uses 1 brand to create their cards/tags. I supposed if I were sponsored and have a few sets I can do it too. I heat embossed the sentiments with ranger's silver embossing powder. I <3 foxes.

Next I made a shaker tag! I was using a set of Lawn Fawn snowflake dies on white cardstock that i distressed with (peacock features and broken china distress inks). Then I looked and saw the beautiful snowflake pattern left behind and it made a perfect background for my shaker tag! I don't own any PPP sequins (i hope to one day!). I added the Mama Elephant reindeer that I watercolored with my Zig clean markers. LOVE these reindeers

I saw one of the bloggers with this die and had to have it - using PPP's Decorative Tag 1 i cut it out in various colored cardstocks. Added LawnFawn's stitched landscape as the background. Then the pine tree and Reindeer from Mama Elephant's Reindeer Games stamp and die set

Here's a photo of all 3 tags together

As you see I've tried to link some of the products, since I'm not an affiliate of any of the sites I do not get any payment or discount off products, and have purchased all these out of my own pocket.
