Celebrate Card with Yasmin Tölche

Hello all! It's Yasmin here today at the Marion Smith Designs blog and I have a card to share today.. well, it actually started out as a tag, but since I never can stay inside the "lines" I just converted it into a card.

I've used a bit from different collections on my card. Mainly I've used the "Junque Gypsey" collection, but you can also find some elements from the "Romance Novel 2" collection. :

I actually loved the way this turned out. I fuzzy cut a couple of pieces on this and added a little junque and gem ballon. Super cute! Do you enjoy fuzzy cutting? I love it! 

Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today! I hope you have a fantastic day! :)

Gift Card Envie with Sandi

Well, hello! Sandi here today, wiping her brow! 

Have you ever had a project that fought you all the way? Well, that was this one!  

I thought it would be fun and quick but my little project seemed doomed from the start. 

But you know what? I persevered and now I love it so much, I'm not sure I can give it away! 

Anyway, I was wanting to make this little gift card/memory envelope from the Time Keeper Tinker paper shown above. And I wanted to pair it with a variety of paper that might not been done before. It's always a fun thing to rummage through my MSD stuff and decide what I want to use! I ended up with Mad Tea Party, Romance Novel Chapter 2, Junque Gypsy and of course, Time Keeper. 

Loved adding a second diagonal pocket on the front and a couple of extra cards tucked inside there! Mixing the collections was actually loads of fun! Everything Marion Smith designs goes together so seamlessly. 

Of course,  finding the "perfect" embellishments is not always the easiest thing to do when you are trying to accomplish multiple tasks.  I finally settled on a vine from my stash. Also, I've had this little wooden bird forever and could never find a use for him but he's perfect here!  

Do be careful not to glue your papers to wrong side of the envie.  Just sayin'. Don't you love the fussy cut butterfly? So classic! 

I took such pains to use the green and cream Mad Tea Party "Tea Party" papers and then mostly covered them up but they are oh, so pretty, sigh! I still adore that collection! Then, I've used lots of fussy cut pieces. The rhinestones were just a little remnant that I hadn't used. Love when that happens! 

After several hours of messing around on the front, seriously, yes, I didn't do anything to the back except add the buttons for closure. One is sewn and the other added with a foam adhesive, Next time, I'll plan ahead and sew and them both on.

I'm excited about my end result and think it will be perfect for gift card giving this summer!

Actually, I can't wait to get started on another!

Trinket Box

Hello everyone. Shanna here to share with you and I love it. 

The Timekeeper collection is just amazing. I love these papers. I had this trinket box that was waiting for some love. I started by painting all the edges with some gold acrylic paint. Then I wanted to tone it down with the papers. 

I had this chipboard compass I covered with some embossing powder to tuck underneath my knob. 

I really love the contrast of the silver and the gold. 

I finished off my box with some Petaloo flowers and popped this badboy on my shelf so I can start filling him up with some goodies. 

Items Used:

Timekeeper - Cogs & Gear

Timekeeper - Art Nouveau

Acrylic Paint

Embossing Powder

Petaloo Flowers

Ideas on what to carry in your planner

Greetings from California! It's me Florence from the planner team :) Happy Monday Funday to you all. I wanted to share with you a few ideas on what you can put in your planner pockets. 

Simple ideas on what to carry in your pockets: 

1. Stickers 

2. Washi Tape Samples

3. Gift card to your favorite coffee shop (who doesn't like planning and drinking your favorite beverage?)

4. Paper clips

5. Marion Smith Date Seals

6. Sticky notes 

7. Page Flags

8. Tags

9. To do lists

10. Ephemera or embellishment pieces

Although it does look pretty laid out, I also like to include things I'll actually use. I often change these maybe every month to a few times a month. Sometimes I leave my favorite items inside just because I can't part ways with it. What do you like to keep in your pockets??

Araceli from the Planner Team

Hello, Ara here. Today I wanted to share with you my current week in my Heart of Gold Planner (1st edition) using the weekly inserts which can be purchased: HERE. I use these inserts for "home stuff". Can you catch the little error at the top? lol. 

Here is a little close up of the left side of the spread, I am a scrapbooker as well so I like to incorporate my sticker stash into my planner (no more hoarding). For the days of the week I used some washi tape. This side of the spread is a bit on the empty side for the time being, I have family coming over for the week and we have no idea what we have planned yet.

I love that the Heart of Gold Planner has pockets in the back as well. I like to stuff my pockets and guess what, it still closes shut! What I like to add to my pockets are planner clips/page markers/paperclips/notepad sheets/sticky notes/date seals and some decorations. 

and lastly, my dashboard. I am constantly changing my dashboard and find that no matter what pattern I choose, it goes well with this planner.

Until Next time, Ara. =)
