Planner Friday - June

Hello!  Welcome to Planner Friday!  I'm Amanda from She's Eclectic and I've been the resident planner girl here on the Trendy Twine blog for the last four years.  I stop by once a month to show you how I use my APB stamps to get organised and to pretty up my planner pages!

As it will be July soon I spent some time this week setting up the monthly overview in my travellers notebook.  I like being able to see exactly what I have going on each month all in one quick glance and the stamps are so much neater and easier to read than my handwriting!

Products used: School Days planner stamps

Need Coffee planner stamps

How's The Weather planner stamps

Title It planner stamps

Choose Happy stamps

 At Home planner stamps

One of the things I love about the APB stamps is that they work in so many different size planners!  They fit perfectly in A5, personal, pocket and mini size Filofaxes, all sizes of Travellers Notebooks and planners like Erin Condren's and the Happy Planner.  Over the years I have swapped and changed my planners, organisers and journals but I have kept on using my APB products as they are so versatile.

I have recently switched to B6 size and this gives me enough space for my notes and reminders without being too big or bulky for me to carry around daily.  I started to plan my month by adding a strip of washi tape along the top edge of the pages and matched my inks and pens to the colours of it.

Then I used some practical stamps from the School Days, At Home and Title It sets to record things like clubs, field trips, the last days of school, bills, errands and planning sessions.  I also used the Brain Dump stamp from the Title It set in the long space next to my calendar on he left so I can record any random information and reminders as and when they come to me.

Once I had added in all my plans I decorated some of the free space using the sun stamp from the How's The Weather set, a couple of fun quote stamps from the Choose Happy set and some sweet coffee stamps from the Need Coffee set because if I'm going to survive a sweltering hot summer then I'm going to be drinking iced coffee all day, every day until autumn!

My July plans

Planner Friday - April

Wow, Planner Friday came around again so quickly!  I feel like the months are speeding by and it will be summer before we know it.  Though that's not a bad thing, I can't wait for some sunshine! 

For today's post I wanted to show you how I use my Annie's Paper Boutique stamps to help keep me organised and add a little fun to my planner pages too.  

Products used: Perfect Pairs planner stamps

Check It Off planner stamps

At Home planner stamps

School Days planner stamps

Need Coffee planner stamps

Coffee gold planner clip

Trendy Page Dots

I knew when I started planning my week that I was going to be busier than usual so I added plenty of check boxes for my daily to dos using a stamp from the Check It Off set and then added my reminders and lists with stamps from the At Home and School Days sets.  I reinforced the holes in my pages with colourful Trendy Page Dots, paired them with some bright and cheery washi tape and added one of my favourite coffee planner clips.

Talking of coffee I knew I was going to need a lot of caffeine see me through the week so I made it the theme for my pages!   There is a special set of  APB stamps for my fellow coffee addicts, aptly called Need Coffee and they are the perfect size for planner pages as they are quite small so you will still have have plenty of space left to make your notes around them.  I also used a larger coffee stamp from the Perfect Pairs set in my Sunday section as I have less to do that day and had more space for decoration.  The last thing I did was to colour in the stamps with fineliners and pencil crayons and then I was ready to face the week!

My week fuelled by coffee

I have to admit I am glad it is Friday now as my week is winding down a little.  I might have had a lot to do but every time I opened my planner I was greeted with a cheerful spread which made my tasks seem less daunting.  

How do you get through a busy week?

Don't forget to stop by the store to check out all the lovely planning supplies and I'll be back again next month for another Planner Friday!

Good Morning! It's Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine.

 I'm so happy to be guest designing today and excited to share my planner layout with you.  

What better week than my birthday week? 

As you can see, I used a few different stamp sets and I've got those listed below.

The Starbucks metal clip goes perfectly with my coffee theme, too.

Of course, you knew I would have to add Trendy Twine into my planner! I used Grape Fizz!

I used the "need coffee" mini cards to make sure I don't forget what food I am planning for our party. 

Here are all the planner stamps I used.

Trendy Twine - #Coffeelover

Good day to all my bloggy friends!

It's Millie, from Crafting with Creative M, and it's my day to post!

This month's design team projects have featured the Cherry Latte Trendy Twine, Mini Coffee Cups, Mini Wooden Spoons  along with the NEED Coffee! Stamp Set.

So, for my project I made a Mini Coffee Cup Holder with my Cricut Explore.

With the Cricut Explore and Celebrations cartridge I was able adjust the size on the banner so that it would fit perfectly on my 11 1/2 X 2 1/2 mini coffee cup holder. 
I stamped the cute coffee image from the NEED Coffee! stamp set, which I then colored with spectrum noir makers. I then fuzzy cut & adhered them to the banner and added tiny pearls. On my banner, I used the Cherry Latte Trendy Twine as well as on my super cute pom poms.

I covered my mini coffee cup with pink cardstock. I stamped the fun sentiment But first, coffee and the cut coffee image from the NEED Coffee! stamp set on a circle/scallop circle die cut, colored it and adhered it to my mini coffee cup with a 3-d pop dot for dimension. I wrapped the Cherry Latte around the mini coffee cup lid and made a bow with the Cherry Latte as well and placed a pretty flower on the center. I used a die cut banner from the When I was a kid cartridge and stamped #coffeelover and added pearls on each side.

I covered the bottom portion of the mini wooden spoon with a piece of scrap from the MME "Dream" paper pad and Tombow multi liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment COFFEE, wrapped the Cherry Latte & made a bow.

For a touch of cuteness I added a pearl!

Trendy Twine - Need Coffee!

Good day to all my bloggy friends!

It's Millie, from Crafting with Creative M, and it's my day to post!

Today's project will feature the Cherry Latte Trendy Twine,

Mini Coffee Cups, Mini Wooden Spoons  along with the NEED Coffee! Stamp Set.

For my project I made a super cute coffee gift set for a friend.

I covered my mini coffee cup with red cardstock and wrapped the Cherry Latte Trendy Twine around my mini coffee cup as well as the lid. I stamped the fun sentiment caffeine reload from the NEED Coffee! stamp set on a die cut and adhered it to my mini coffee cup with a 3-d  pop dot for dimension. I then placed a pretty rhinestone on my Cherry Latte bow.

I thought it would be super cute to stamp the mini wooden spoon with the #coffeebreak sentiment from NEED Coffee! and add a rhinestone for a little bling. 

I then wrapped some the Cherry Latte and made a bow.

For my mini note card which was made with a spellbinders die, I wrapped a piece of Cherry Latte, stamped the But first, coffee sentiment & colored the cute coffee image, then I adhered it with foam tape and placed a rhinestone.

Trendy Twine- Mini Coffee cup caddy

Hi Everyone!

Kimberly from Kimberly's Crafty Spot.

This month the design team is featuring 

Cherry Latte Trendy Twine,

Mini Coffee cups, and Mini Spoons.

For my project, I made a cute little coffee caddy that fits two mini coffee cups.

I found this cute caddy pattern on Pinterest and knew I had to make it.

I used the NEED Coffee stamp set to decorate the caddy, the cups and the handle of the Mini Spoon.

I stamped the cute images on the coffee sleeve and the cup to-go cup for the top.

These cute mini coffee cups fit a single KCup perfectly!

I put one KCup in one cup then filled the other with some Hershey Kisses.

I decorated the caddy with some Cherry Latte Trendy Twine.

I added some to the edges and stitched some hearts around the sentiment

from the NEED Coffee stamp set.

I also added some around the top of the cups 

and used some to hold the mini spoon to the caddy.
