DIY Valentines Day Interchangeable Planner Covers

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.

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 Winter A5 and Personal Planner Dashboards

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 didn’t want to miss publishing a winter set of dashboards, so that is what I am providing you with today! And, yes it has even been chilly in normally sunny Southern California! But, of course, it’s not quite the snowy weather that many of you enjoy elsewhere. However, with the weather in mind, I thought I would design a winter themed gal enjoying some yummy hot chocolate. And, the color theme is really nice as well.

I own the now retired platinum Carpe Diem A5 planner and I have been wanting to design a new set of winter themed planner dashboards suitable for this size of planner.

The size of the planner inserts are 148 mm x 210 mm or 5.8″ by 8.3″, your standard A5 page and 3.75″ by 6.75″ for the personal planner. I also have included a set of personal planner stickers that will fit both the Erin Condren planner or Happy Planner.

Also, if you are new to this site, 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 that are mostly planner related, you can view that and/or follow here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

There are more than 3 separate freebies total in today’s release. As always, these stickers and/or printables can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping and papercrafting but these were made specifically for A5 planner fans.

Note**Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.**

How to Use this “Winter Themed Planner Dashboards” Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to cut out these freebies and I have included a few tips in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the to-do lists or planner inserts using their designer software. If you need to convert the pdf file, there are many free online converters that will convert the files from jpegs to pdfs.

2) For the planner dashboard, it would be ideal if you printed it on glossy or matte photo paper so that the watercolor texture will show up clearly. However, simple cardstock will do. If you own a laminator, laminating the dashboard and then hole punching it will improve it’s wear.

3) Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which makes cutting a straight line easier, rather than using scissors.

Facts about the freebie :

One A5 planner dashboard, 5.8″ by 8.3″ jpegs in zip file.
One Personal planner dashboard, 3.75″ by 6.75″ jpegs in zip file.
These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
Color scheme: light blue, white, slate blue, various

Winter Color Theme Erin Condren Planner Stickers

This post may contain affiliate links. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

Hello Peeps…It’s Monday! Hope you are all ready for a new winter themed Erin Condren planner stickers layout. I’m still working on some additional elements for the second page of this Erin Condren printable. These have all been designed in Adobe Illustrator CC and I am also using Canva. Today, I have provided a set of Erin Condren planner stickers with a coordinated cool winter color theme and several new stickers designs.

I’ve also included a set of newly shaped labels that you might want to use for your personal planning and other projects. The second page is a half letter size pdf file. I am still working on additional shapes to create two full size letter pdfs. Adobe Illustrator CC allows me to align the shapes so closely that I am able to actually provide many more stickers per page. I hope you like the new designs!

Planner Sticker Specs

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the Erin Condren Planner (vertical) or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other horizontal weekly planners such as the Filofax.

The functional planner stickers, especially the full box stickers, are sized to fit within the vertical columns and boxes specifically for the Erin Condren. The full boxes are 1.5″ by 1.9″ and so is the length of the checklist flags.

However, please keep in mind, you can reduce the printable when you go to print in order to adjust the stickers’ size to fit your specific planner. (Some distortion may occur using this method.)

Color Theme

Here’s the color theme used for these planner stickers…

How to Use this Erin Condren Planner Stickers Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers and I have included a few in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printout is to print it out on a full sheet of white sticker paper and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter, (i.e. Cricut Explore) you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software.

2) Also another method, would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock depending on how thick you want your sticker and then place adhesive via a snail tape runner or with a Xyron sticker tool or machine.

3) The most time consuming way is to print out the planner stickers on sticker paper and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting. In addition, don’t forget a paper trimmer which helps with the straight cuts. You should probably use punches for the circle stickers. I try to design the circle stickers at standard punch sizes. For hand cutting, a new tool I highly recommend is the Gyro-tool. It’s rotating blade allows you to cut around curvy shapes and is especially good around script stickers

Facts about the Winter Color themed freebie:

*A set of ~~130+~~ 160+planner stickers on three 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf files.

*These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color. The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
