For the first day of the reveals, we are showcasing the It’s a Plan stamp set with Newton Makes a Plan stamp set, and coordinating dies. Heres what they look like:

Before I start, I just want to point out that some of the dies are a bit tricky to match up because they are similar in shape and size so Jennifer was kind enough to share this little sheet to help you to number them before you cut the dies apart.

I love decorating my planner. I don’t always have time to do it each month but when I do, I go all out! I use stencils and distress oxide inks to add color to my pages. I also adhered some die-cuts, stickers and other cute elements just to make it cuter.

For my first project, I stamped and colored the little kitties from the Newton Makes a Plan stamp set and colored them in with my Copic markers. Since these images are tiny, I tried to use a maximum of two markers to do my color-blending. I die-cut the little kitties with its coordinating dies.

I used the Sunscape Stencil and the Evergreens Stencil with my distress oxide inks to add color to my planner pages. NOTE: Since I am so over the winter-themed cards you will be seeing a lot of sunshine and happiness on my post this week, haha! I also used my home-made clouds stencil using the Sky Borders die. Here’s my monthly calendar spread:

I stamped the words on the corresponding days from the It’s a Plan stamp set like “yoga” – which I do every Mondays, “shopping”, I do every Sundays and I leave mostly Tuesdays and Wednesdays to do my card-making and/or design team projects. I used the tiny heart checklist also from the It’s a Plan stamp set for my “goals”, “to do” and “my mantra”. I did not fill it all out just yet because I have yet to determine what goals I would like to set for myself this month. To decorate my planner a little further, I used the little kitties for my yoga days, the one inside the laundry basket for my laundry days on Saturdays, the Kitty holding a present for my husband’s birthday this month and the kitty holding a shopping cart for my grocery shopping day.

Here’s a little close-up of my monthly spread:

I used the hearts and circle checklist from the It’s a Plan stamp set to add my “to-do’s”, as well as my weekly goals. Here’s what my weekly spread look like:

Since I colored a lot of the images, I decided to create a card using the Newton Makes a Plan stamp set. Here’s my second project:

I used a circle die from my stash to cut out 6 circles on some A2 size 110 lb Neenah solar white card stock. I used a cat embossing folder also from my stash to add some details onto the foreground. On a piece of Bristol smooth white card stock, I traced the circle and added different colors of distress oxide inks. Here’s a close-up:

To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment from the Newton Loves Cake stamp set on a banner strip with versamark ink. I sprinkled white embossing powder on it and heat-set it using my heating tool. Here’s another look:

POINSETTIA BLOOMS:

At first, I colored the poinsettia images in pink but I didn’t like how it turned out so I used my red Copic markers to layer on top of the pink. For this card, I also used my all-time favorite Pines & Holly die set and added the berries from the Winter Birds stamp set. For my sentiment I used the Ornamental Wishes stamp set, released last month. Here’s a little close-up:

WINTER BIRDS:

Jennifer was just so kind because she sent us this PDF document that identifies the birds and what they look like in real life.

Here’s how I colored mine:

I just LOVE cardinals! They are so pretty and in my opinion, they are a symbol of the holidays! For my card, I used the Pines & Holly die set once again to decorate my branch and the Festive Forest stamp set for the trees. Here’s a little close-up:

I am so bummed that my lighting didn’t really show the glittered “snow” on my card. When I was making this card, it was hurricane season in Florida. I used some diamond glittered card tsock to create my snow hills. Here’s a little close-up:

I love the silhouette images on this stamp set.

For my second card, I used my Nuvo Moonstone glitter paste and the Evergreen stencil.

I wish you can see this card in person. The glittered/snowy trees the background is really pretty. Here’s a little close-up:

For the last day of the reveal the design team is showcasing one 4 x 6 stamp set and TWO mini stamps and dies – the Thankful Thoughts stamp set, Tea-Rex stamp set and coordinating die and the Slothy Coffee stamp set and coordinating die. The “slothy” cracks me up! What a perfect name for this stamp set!

This is going to be a long blog post since we are featuring three stamp sets today so please be patient 🙂

I cut an A2 size piece of Bristol Smooth white card stock and inked up my background using some sponge daubers and the new Pumpkin Patch stencil. I used Wild Honey and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks.

This stencil is so cute and a definite must-have for fall projects! This stencil will also be perfect to use on a scrapbook layout!

I used an oval die to die-cut the window on my card base. I also used the same oval dies to die-cut an oval frame for my card. I covered my inked up background with some vellum and adhered the frame with some foam adhesive. I die-cut the leaves and acorn using the Autumn leaves die set to adorn my card.

To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment using the Thankful Thoughts stamp set with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. Here’s a little close-up:

I love the details on the Autumn Leaves. I colored the leaves with distress oxide inks and the acorn with my Copic markers.

For my other projects I colored the images once again with my Copics. For the tags, I used the Fancy Edges Tag die set.

I stamped the background with Fog ink. The coffee cup is from Newton Loves Coffee stamp set and Spooky Street stamp set.

This tag will go with a gift set that I am sending to a friend of mine who loves drinking tea. I think it is so adorable!

Here’s my Slothy coffee card:

Here’s a cute tag with the Slothy Coffee again.

Whew! I am now going to make myself a cup of coffee! That’s it for today! I hope you like my projects. Would you like to win the “Thankful Thoughts” Stamp Set? We will choose ONE lucky winner to WIN this stamp set!
