What you will need in order to Protecting Your Planner Journal Covers

Adhesive Clear Laminate (I used Duck brand)

Scissors

Your project

Get out your project.

Take out your adhesive clear laminate

Cut out a piece of laminate with approximately one inch extra all of the way around the project.

We are using the adhesive clear laminate for Protecting Your Planner Journal Covers. You will want to fold this adhesive clear laminate in half and crease it.

To try to keep the laminate from rolling up, roll it up one way then flip and roll it the other way. This will help straighten the sheet out. I don’t always do this but it can be helpful.

Pull the backing from the laminate.

Peel the backing to the half way mark of your laminate.

Place the back of your front cover project down on the adhesive laminate.

Press down on the laminate pushing all of the bubbles out toward the open edges.

Turn your project over so that the front cover is facing you now.

Pull the rest of the backing off of the laminate.

This is what it will look like after you take off the backing while you are Protecting Your Planner Journal Covers.

Fold over the laminate so that it is on the side of the front. Slowly rub the laminate toward the outer edge so that your rub out all of the bubbles.

Be sire to rub the edges of all of the areas ensuring proper adhesion.

Take out your scissors and trim the cover. You can do it two different ways: trim closely to the edge or trim so that there is a small amount of overhang to ensure complete sealing.

Your project is complete!! The left is not covered and the right has been covered. Be sure to repeat the above steps for the back cover of your planner journal.

Create Your Own Planner Journal Project – Part 1 – Making Your Planner Covers

Create Your Own Planner Journal Project – Part 1 is what we have for you today. I love journals, planners, smash books, project life and oh I just love playing with paper. In this video series, you will see how to create your very own planner with your own twist on it. There are so many variations, we hope to inspire your creativity!

Supplies Needed for the Create Your Own Planner Journal Project

Stamp Block

Everyday Alphabet Uppercase and Emoticon Stamp Set

Scissors

Ribbon

Adhesive

Black Ink

Chip Board

Patterned Paper

Solid card stock

Tag for name personalization

Bee Image

This is what we will be creating. For the example of the Create Your Own Planner Journal Project shown in the video above, I have the paper with horizontal lines.

This is the covered back of the chip board.

For the video, I have them with vertical lines as shown here. Apply adhesive to the chip board or the paper outer edges. Be sure the edges are covered to avoid lifting of the corners.

Apply the paper lining up the edges so the chip board is covered.

Be sure to push down on all of the outer edges to ensure adhesion of the adhesive. Repeat for the back side of the chip board leaving one part of the paper corner not adhered.

Be sure you have adhesive on the edges and take out the ribbon strip.

Apply adhesive in a line for the ribbon.

Adhere the ribbon on the adhesive line.

Press down on the edges ensuring they have adhered to the chip board.

This is what it will look like.

Take out the Everyday Alphabet Uppercase and Emoticon Stamp Set. Adhere the letters to the stamp block.

Apply ink to the letters.

Stamp the name on the tag.

Apply adhesive to the back of the solid colored card stock mat.

Adhere to the chipboard cover leaving space for the binding.

Apply adhesive to the back of the tag.

Apply to the solid colored card stock on the chip board cover.

Apply adhesive to the bee image and adhere to the front cover.

Your Create Your Own Planner Journal Project – Part 1 is complete! Rather than create the same exact project again for the tutorial versus the example, I thought it would be cool to see the difference in how it looks if you could see both completed which is why I did it two different ways. Here they are side by side.

Please be sure to stay tuned for the continuation of this project. Thank you for joining us and we hope you enjoyed going on A Creative Journey with Melissa.

Create Your Own Pocket Mini Journal, Planner, Date Book or Notebook!

Do you want to Create Your Own Pocket Mini Journal, Planner, Date Book or Notebook? Then you have come to the right place! You will look at composition books in a new way! I will show you how to use a mini composition book and decorative paper to create your own one of a kind Pocket Mini Journal, Planner, Date Book or Notebook! Not only is it simple to do, it is really inexpensive and you can use them for gifts too! Whether you like to learn by video or pictorial, we have them here!

Thanks for joining us today and let’s get started.

Here are the supplies you will need:

Paper for the cover and back of the mini composition book

Paper for the binding seam of the book

Paper for the Name Tag

Crafty Power Tape

Everyday Alphabet Upper Case and Emoticon Stamp Set

Punch

Mini Composition Book

Foam Squares

Scissors

Ribbon

Paper Clip

Alignment Grid Stamp Block

Ink Pad

First take out your paper clip and your ribbon.

Tie your ribbon around your paper clip. Trim Ribbon. Set aside.

Take out your Everyday Alphabet and Emoticon Stamp Set, Acrylic Block with Grid, Ink and Paper.

Place your stamps on the acrylic block. If you need to use one letter twice like the example, Leave a space for it in your word so you can go back and add it later.

Ink your stamps

Stamp your letters onto your paper

Clean off your stamps and remove the stamps you don’t need. Ink and stamp the letter(s) you need to add for your creation. In this case, I needed to add another “S” to it to spell the name Melissa. here I am just stamping the “S” to fill in where I didn’t have two of them to use.

Here is the finished stamped name.

Take your punch and punch out the name for your creation.

Place foam squares on the back of the punched out paper. Set aside.

Take out your paper, crafty tape, and mini composition book. There are two ways you can add adhesive to your project. Either directly onto the book or directly onto the paper and then place it on the book. I will show you both ways.

For this example, you will adhere your crafty power tape to the edges of the front of your book. Make sure the adhesive is on by rubbing over it with your finger. Remove the backing from the tape.

Place your decorative piece of paper on the composition book. Rub your finger along all edges of where the adhesive is to ensure proper adhesion.

Trim the excess paper off of the edges of the book.

Here is the second way you can place adhesive on your project for the cover and back.

Turn the book over. Get your second piece of paper and place your adhesive directly on the paper.

Remove your tape backing, adhere to book and rub along the edges to ensure proper adhesion.

Take your paper for the binding and apply your power crafty tape to the entire area taking extra notice to the edges of the paper and center. Rub the tape backing onto the paper making sure the adhesive has adhered to the paper. Trim excess edges.

Remove the backing from the tape and be sure there isn’t any adhesive over lapping the edges of the paper.

Place the binding paper onto the book. Be sure to rub with fingers to ensure proper adhesion.

Take the book and having the piece of paper face down, use the pressure and the table to adhere the paper then slowly roll the book away from you and to the other side trying to make a hard crease on the edges of the book.

Make sure you rub the entire booking and especially the binding area so that the adhesive is fully adhered. Trim excess edges.

Take your punched out tag and remove the backing from the foam squares. Adhere to your composition book.

Take your paper clip and place it on your book. Your project is complete!

Planner Clips, Hair Clips, Book Marks, OH MY!

Planner Clips, Hair Clips, Book Marks, OH MY! This is EXACTLY what I thought when I was creating these clips and I have since come up with more ideas as well! Would you like to learn how to create a clip that can be used for multiple purposes? In this video, I will show you how to easily make these clips that have a number of uses. You can make Planner Clips, Project Life Clips, Hair Clips, Pocket Letter Clips, Book Marks, Money Clips, OH MY! The possibilities are ENDLESS!

Whether you prefer to learn by the video above or the pictorial below, we have you covered so let’s get started!

Here are the items you will need to create this project:

Hair Clips

Grosgrain Ribbon ( 1/4″ thick which is what I used)

Beacon Fabri-Tac Glue

Sharp Scissors

Embellishments

You will want to use your ribbon to measure exactly how much you will need to cover the inside top, top and back area of the clip. This should be done each time you use a different sized or brand clip, as they can vary. It is the same exact way you would create your clip with adhesive.

Now, for the project! Take your measured ribbon and run a line of adhesive on one side of the ribbon (not the patterned side) leaving a small area on each end empty for overage.

To assemble, you will start with the inside top of the clip. You will have the pattern of your ribbon facing down (as you have just placed your glue facing up.)

Place the ribbon on the inside of the clip so that the glue is facing up and will adhere to the top part of the inside of the clip.

Wrap the ribbon around so that you cover the top of the clip.

Take the remaining part of the ribbon and wrap it around the back to hide the spring area.

Add adhesive sparingly as needed in areas where necessary.

Adjust your ribbon so that they line up and are centered.

Take your project one step further! Add embellishments like rhinestones, flowers, more ribbon and whatever you choose!

You are done!

We hope that you enjoyed our project today. We would love to hear what type of uses YOU come up with for this adorable project.

Thank you for joining us and for going on A Creative Journey with Melissa.
