DIY Valentines Day Interchangeable Planner Covers

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

 

Hello peeps and blog visitors!  Today, I am providing you with this Valentine’s Day release of interchangeable covers and personal planner dashboards.    I used the cute  graphics for the recent digital paper release, they were so lovely, that I thought some planner dashboards would be a good idea.  So, I am passing all the planer goodness on to you.

Today, I am excited to release another really fun project–two sets of  Valentine’s Day Erin Condren interchangeable planner covers that I designed for your planner bliss.  In addition, I also included a set of  coordinating “planning”  round foldable tab planner stickers for extra planner goodness!

Some of the best information I found on creating diy Erin Condren life planner interchangeable covers was on a pin via Pinterest when I released my first set of covers.  You can access that comprehensive article here at DIY Erin Condren Life Planner Interchangeable Covers.   I have tried making my own covers but I have always gone to Staple (office supply store) for high resolution covers, but the above article explains the whole diy process using your own home printer.

Materials and Supplies Needed

Please note you will need access to several tools, materials and supplies  such as a laminator, laminate sheets, white cardstock or photo paper,  a 1/8″ hole punch, and scissors  in order to complete this project, but if you are a planner addict you may already have them on hand in your planner stash.

Quick Tip:  Although you can use white cardstock, to ensure the  best results try using white photo paper  in order to get the best, high resolution included in the jpeg file when you print them.  If you use plain cardstock, the colors come out flat and saturated.

I  designed this set of DIY Erin Condren planner covers in colors that would coordinate with the digital paper I just mentioned.  As a matter of fact, I used the violet digital paper for the round foldable tabs.

Some planner fans stick to only one cover.  However, it’s fun  to  occasionally change the look of your planner, especially if you like to change your covers to match the season.

To view the official Erin’s Condren’s seasonal interchangeable covers click HERE.

These planner covers are specifically sized and designed for fans of the Erin Condren Planner  only .  As I suggested earlier, try  to print on a bright  photo matte or gloss photo paper to print out your covers so that the colors will be vibrant and the photo realistic textures will print clearly.

Note:  These planner covers are not designed to upload to the Erin Condren website as they need to have a “bleed” space added in order for you to have them printed and cropped correctly, so keep that in mind.

Other Planner Ideas

If you are not interested in using these images as covers, I know that planner fans (who  are technologically astute) will be able to  resize the jpg files in order to create a dashboard or project life card for your papercraft use.

While that is totally doable for your own personal use, please abide by my TOU ( it is listed below) and do not sell or share the digital files.  You are welcome to share the link back to my website, if you like.  Do keep in mind that there might be some distortion when you reduce the size.

Just a little reminder,  I wanted to let you know  that I have a board on Pinterest  that  you might want to follow that has several pins (ideas) by other planner designers, stationery, home office decor,  office supplies and planner freebies, you can view that here,  Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

Free Valentine’s Day Digital Paper

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

 

Hello peeps!  I have been working on these digital papers since a few weeks ago and was getting them ready for Valentine’s Day crafting.    Today, I am providing a  set of seamless  gorgeous “pink” and violet digital paper made with  the “Just Love Valentine Clip Art” set by Essentially Nomadic. This shop is also on Etsy. 

I used only a few of the graphics and came out with this fun holiday paper!    Although, I purchased the Commercial License for this set, I still want to credit the designer as I do not want to create graphics that are in competition with the shop’s own products.  

I designed about 85% of the background vector graphics  and some other elements in these papers and complementary graphics for this set.

This is a whole new fun part of designing,  that I am currently exploring,  as I get more familiar with  using Photoshop CC and Adobe Illustrator for designing digital paper and patterns.  This is my fifth digital paper set, that I have provided.  I received some great feedback to my last set, so I included this one as well.

As mentioned before, I have a new appreciation for all those designers who design digital paper and provide them on Etsy and other online shops. 

The fundamentals are initially easy but getting symmetry  and other aspects of the  designs right is much more difficult than it seems.  This time I am adding a set of  six new designs, each with different clip art,  that I have been able to figure out how to set up, create the pattern tile,  and make them seamless as well.

Facts about the  Valentine’s Day Digital Paper

The picture below is the preview of the paper at 72 dpi, however the original is located on my Google Drive account and the file size is approximately  1 MB per digital paper.

This set of digital papers were designed by me and  were designed  as  8″ x 8″, 300 dpi seamless digital papers using several  graphics  and overlays in Adobe Illustrator CC.  There are six  8″ x 8″ jpeg files in the the downloads below and I also added a set of full box stickers for the Erin Condren!

I plan to release a few more of my designs from time to time in the future.   I am still working on the coordinating graphic ( lines, dots, chevron) type of paper.  The list of ideas is growing.

Color Theme

These are the colors used in the main backgrounds and graphics of this set.

 

 

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)

If you have been here before, you know the drill.  If you are new (no problem), you might want to read the quick  TOU below before you access the printable.

Download Instructions

These are .png files, you will need to be able to use digital or photo editing software that can open png files.  This is not a zip file.   You will also need access to some type of online or offline photo editing software, like Canva to use the files.  Since they are .png file you can use them both in Silhouette Studio (all versions) and Cricut digital cutters.  They were designed as backgrounds for your own stickers.  Here’s a sample sticker page [jpg file – 1.5 MB – half letter size] for those of you who do not own either of these two digital cutters.  Of course, they can be used in other papercrafting or planner projects as long as you abide by  the Terms of Use.

Doodled Annual Calendar 2021 -Free Printable

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

 

Today I have released a doodled annual calendar for 2021 so that you can get ready for all your planning for the upcoming year. 

You’ll have two choices to choose from:

1) a doodled annual calendar which is set up with a Sun-through-Sat week and/or

2) a doodled annual calendar that is set up with a  Mon-through-Sun week  and was specifically created for Erin Condren and Happy Planner users; however, of course, it can be used as a reference for project life fans as well as regular personal and work planning.

Ideally, you can use your calendar by  referring to  each week during your planning time and planning out your weekly to do’s.  You might have developed the habit of taking at least 20 minutes every Sunday evening to view the week’s upcoming tasks and to do’s on your to-do list. 

If not, now’s the time to develop that habit for the new year especially if “being more productive”  or “using my time wisely” will be one of your New Year’s resolutions

Using your Annual Calendar

I designed this organization/planner freebie in order to get a bird’s eye view of the year all on one page and decorated it with a variety of doodles. The font for the calendar is Arial and a vintage American Typewriter font for the headers , the week format is Sunday through Saturday and the weekends are light grey.  I have provided two annual calendar printables, one regular and one with the week’s number on the left hand side.  You can reduce the printable in order to fit most planners,  if you would like to use them as an insert.

You can use the calendar to refer to as you plan your week or for other purposes.

Planning Your Week

I also designed the following printable to use as a brain dump to provide you a “worksheet” to gather or place all your tasks for the upcoming week.  It’s sort of a pre-planning sheet or a place to list all your “to do’s” and then commit them to a specific day.

It isn’t a necessary step, but I find it helpful to write up all my tasks, then allocate the day of the week I will post them in my planner.  If I don’t get to all of the tasks, at least I can pick from the “top three” tasks for each day and feel I have been productive.

Here’s a sample of that weekly planner page.  You can click on the image to access that printable as well.

Choosing Your Planner

Your planner choice will be  a very personal one ( if you are not using one already) and there are many variables that will contribute to  your decision.  I will go through some of those variables in future posts.  This year I went hog wild and ordered the “Hello Kitty” Erin Condren Life Planner with a variety of accessories; but, I didn’t order soon enough and it is on it’s shipping journey.  With the Covid restrictions, the shipping and handling is taking a little longer, so there is that.   Come to think of it, I should have factored that in…keep that in mind if you are thinking of ordering one.  Meanwhile, I have ordered my Classic Happy Planner for this year.

For your information, since I do provide many of my own Erin Condren printable designs on this blog, I wanted to show you a sample layout for last year’s  “new” redesigned Erin Condren interior pages.   Due to copyright issues, this is just a similar design  of Erin Condren’s “new” redesigned layout but not an exact one.  This gives you an idea  of how one of your pages might be laid out as you list your tasks.  I’ve taken some of the tasks from a winter bucket list, I previously provided.

In addition, I have a board on Pinterest you might want to follow that has several ideas by  other designers for Home Office Planning , stationery and Erin Condren Life Planner, Happy Planner, and other types of planner needs.  You can view that board here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

Facts about the freebie:

  • These free printables were designed on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
  •  File size: 816KB & 847KB
  • These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp.
  • Printing tip:   I would adjust the printing quality on your printer in order that you do not get an excessive amount of ink saturation.  Just a tip, if you plan to use regular office paper as this freebie is at 300 dpi and you may need to adjust as you print.
  • Color scheme: black, white, dark grey

Thank you  for all your Pinterest and other social media pins…

I’d  like to say thanks to all those taking the time to comment, I sure appreciate the gracious “thank yous” and the legitimate “link love” .   I know you don’t always have time to leave a comment because you are busy, so I really appreciate it when blog visitors take the time to either like or comment.

Thank you for your single pins and for some of you,  multiple pins of my various designs on Pinterest as well as Facebook and Instagram  links.  I also appreciate mentions in your blogs with appropriate link backs and active links.
