Oz-somestamps: Christmas Planner Tutorial

Christmas Planner Tutorial - free downloads!

This is a great planner - with room to grow because there are a few empty pockets. You can leave them out or keep them in for extra space if you want.

Download Christmas Planner Directions in a pdf to print the watch the video to see what I was really trying to say in the directions. It is really hard sometimes to put into words what you actually mean!

First I will share the downloadable inserts.

I printed mine onto ivory cardstock and used Ivory envelopes - but you can use whatever works for your color scheme. I was inspired by the pages at Organized Christmas - but I wanted more color to the pages so I made my own in Publisher. (I goofed and left out this info and link in my original posting - thanks for the inspiration!)

You will need:

Materials:

4 ¼ x 10 Card Stock – 8 pieces

Additional pattern and plain cardstock to embellish.

9 #10 envelopes (4 1/8 x 9 ½)

Printed and trimmed insert pages

Trasnparency /Acetate– 8 ½ x 11 – 2 sheets

2 Jumbo Eyelets

2 6” pieces 1 ½ “ Bind it All wires

Ribbon to tie closed and embellish spine

Adhesive

Tools:

12” paper trimmer

Scissors

Bind It All

Big Bite Cropadile

Stamps and inks of choice

So you asked for it on video - so here you go!

I reverted back to my ole faithful camera for that video - hopefully I can use the new one for any futer videos as that one was a pain and I do not think does as good quality!

here are some more pics of the book itself:

Enjoy!

This is so cool but I could not download the Xmas planner printables. Kept getting a message about a corrupted file.

I'm actually in the middle of making this ( and the results so far are THRILLING me !!! It's a bit cheeky of me to ask this BUT I was wondering if it was possible to post the PDFs to be alterable? I don't have any papers in the colours and I would like to add a couple of other catagories - eg. card list, secret santa list etc. I would SOOOO appreciate it ! Thanks again for this great tut !!
