More Planning Fun with Sweet Stamp Shop!

Hello! I'm back again with one more post about my planning process and how I use the Sweet Stamp Shop planner series of stamps. In my last two posts I shared how I plan in a monthly style planner and also shared how I create and use stickers in my planning process. Today I wanted to share how I use my stamps in a normal weekly planning style. 

I've mentioned that I have and use more than one planner. The one I'm sharing here is a Plum Planner that I purchased off Etsy that is pretty similar to the Erin Condren planner. It is broken down into morning, afternoon and night and the SSS planner stamps are perfect for this design.

I use my pre-made stickers wherever they're relevant and I also stamp directly in the planner with my stamps. I love that they're the perfect size to fit into the spaces of the planner. I use regular dye inks to stamp in my planner and usually don't have any problems with bleed through. For planners with thinner paper, lighter coloured inks would work best.

You can see more of my planner process on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog here. I hope I gave you some ideas for your everyday planning and that you're finding the SSS stamps helpful in your planning process. ;)

More Planning Fun with Sweet Stamp Shop

Hello! I'm back with another guest post designing with Sweet Stamp Shop. We're going to talk more about planning today and how I create my custom stickers for my planner. I love that each planner stamp set is geared toward something specific whether it be fitness, home or work.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I own a few different planners and actually use them all for different things so I like having a lot of options when it comes to my supplies. One of my favourite ways to stay organized is to prepare stickers ahead of time that I can use in my planning. It's super convenient to just pull out my pre-stamped stickers and add them to my planners wherever I need them. 

I use all types of different stickers and Post-it notes, but my favorite are office supply stickers from Avery. You can get them in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours and even re-positionable, which is perfect if you want to be able to move them around in your planner. I have a few sets of coloured ones, but I prefer to buy them in white so I can add colour to them myself with my Copic markers or other types of colouring mediums.

I usually decide on a colour scheme for different events or schedules, colour a bunch of stickers and then stamp them repeatedly with the images so I have a lot on hand. It takes no time at all once you get going and I love the end result. There are so many great images in the SSS planner sets and they fit perfectly on the Avery circle and small rectangle stickers.

There is seriously a ton of options when it comes to the planner series of stamps, because there are so many to choose from. I definitely encourage you to create planner stickers using stamps... once you start, it's addictive! ;)

You can read more about how I create customized stickers at the Sweet Stamp Shop blog here. I'll be back with one more guest post a little later this month. Thanks for stopping by!

Planning Fun with Sweet Stamp Shop

Hello! I am thrilled to be back with a guest design post for Sweet Stamp Shop. It's no secret that I am a complete planner nerd so the planner series of stamps that SSS offers are the perfect addition to my planning supplies!  I actually use more than one planner because I like having a few that are used for different things, and mainly because I can't choose just one planner to use lol! ;)

I love using monthly planners for general events, budget planning and work/blog scheduling. It's quick and easy to look at the double page spread and see what I have coming up and what needs to be done throughout the month. I either stamp directly in the planner using various colours of dye inks, or I use pre-made stickers that I create.

Having the stickers, especially the colour coded ones, makes monthly planning so quick and easy. And to get even more use out of them, I tend to use them for multiple things if I can. I use my stickers with the car image to track both car insurance and car payments. I also use the house image stickers for both mortgage payments and house insurance. I just add additional stamping under the sticker to indicate what it represents.

For events that don't occur every month, I just stamp directly in the planner. I like combining both image and word stamps and Sweet Stamp Shop offers so many options to do this! I'm pretty sure there is a word/image for everything! And using different ink colours is a fun way to mix it up and make your planner more colourful and nice to look at. ;)

Another thing I like about the monthly planner design is the notes section you can usually find on the side. I like using this area to keep track of monthly bill payments like utilities and credit card payments. The word stamps fit perfectly in the lines so I stamp them at the start of the month and then check them off as they're paid. I love that it keeps everything in one place for easy reference. ;)

I'll be back later this month with more posts on my planning process and how I use Sweet Stamp Shop products. Thanks for stopping by!

Kaboom Card | Sweet Stamp Shop

Hello! This month I will be guest designing on the Sweet Stamp Shop blog! Today I have a card to share that I created with the adorable Hedgehog Kiss stamp set. I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw it and couldn't wait to create a cute scene with it! ;)

To create my card I first stamped the hedgehogs, the bow, the top hat and the hearts onto white cardstock and coloured them with Copic markers. I think I've only ever seen an actual hedgehog twice in my life, so I looked at a few photos on the internet to try and colour them so they would look like hedgehogs when I was done lol!

Once I finished them, I coloured all of the accent pieces with the same red colour so they would all match in the card design. I used some dies from my collection and some inks and patterned papers to create the scene for the hedgehogs. I used blue ink on a white diecut rectangle for the sky and added some grassy pieces cut from some patterned paper.

I tucked the hedgehogs in between the grass pieces to make them look like they were actually standing in the grass and added the speech bubble between them with foam adhesive. I also added some diecut clouds and adhered one of them with foam adhesive as well.

I completed the card by adding the bow and top hat to the hedgehogs and added the three stamped hearts floating into the sky. The finished panel is matted on a black piece of cardstock and layered onto a piece of vellum and white cardstock. I then added the entire piece to a grey, top-folding card base. For a little more detail, I also added Glossy Accents to the bow, the hearts and the red stripe on the top hat. ;)

To see how I created the card, you can watch the video below:
