It’s November!!! This week's Happy Planner Layout

This week’s Happy Planner layout is flowery — because, well, people in Manila are currently bringing flowers to the cemetery for All Saints’ and All Souls’ Day. Haha! Joke lang. What actually happened was: what I  wanted  for this layout didn’t quite work out, so I ended up adding flowers and leaves instead. Hence, that curved floral thingy smacked right in the middle of the spread. Such an  ugh  layout, but oh wells. I used the  Happy Memory Keeping Floral Memories  and  The Encourager  sticker books for this week’s spread. Sentiment for the week:   Girl, you are super amazing. Crafty things I worked on last week  I finally turned my  Bee Happy Weeklies Aall & Create “paper dolls”  into cards ! It was a little #Inktober inspired project I worked on one afternoon just so I could play with my Distress Oxides again. I made a  hybrid scrapbook layout  for  Traci Reed’s Sketchy Sunday  — it’s a layout for my...

Polkadoodles Project - Kicking Off Christmas with a Clear Front Easel Card

First Christmas card of the year — check!





I’m officially diving into festive crafting, and what better way to start than with a sparkly, interactive easel clear front card? I love how this one turned out.







For this project, I combined die cutting, digital stamps, and a bit of dimension to create a unique card that’s both sturdy and see-through (yes, acetate powers!). Here’s how I made it and everything I used:


Supplies Used:

  • Plain cardstock (blue)

  • Acetate sheet

  • Glitter cardstock

  • Lawn Fawn – Snow Flurries Backdrop dies

  • Sizzix Big Shot

  • Ohuhu Markers

  • Foam tape

  • Bearly Art Precision Glue

  • Cricut Maker

  • Polkadoodles Digi Stamp – Winnie White Christmas

  • Polkadoodles Sentiment – Seasons Greetings

  • Paper trimmer

šŸ› ️ How I Made It:

  1. Cut the acetate to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.


  2. Die cut your glitter cardstock using any border die you like. I used Lawn Fawn’s Snow Flurries Backdrop for a pretty, intricate and sparkly touch.


  3. Cut plain cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 inches, then score it at 5 1/2 inches to create your card base.



  4. Cut another piece of cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches — this will be the card front panel.



  5. Cut out the middle of both card front panels, leaving a 1/4 inch border all around.




  6. Score the card base at 2 3/4 inches on the front flap to create the easel fold.



  7. Adhere the acetate between the glitter die-cut frame and the front panel.




  8. Glue this layered panel onto the bottom half of the easel fold.





  9. Decorate! I colored Winnie White Christmas (Polkadoodles) with Ohuhu markers and adhered her in the center of the acetate.






  10. To make the easel stand, pop up a sentiment using foam tape. I used Seasons Greetings from Polkadoodles.

    I love the border of your 1st Christmas card project. It really made the centerpiece float. The red and the green coupled with the facial expression of the character really displayed the festive mood of the season.
    Can't wait to see more of your Christmas projects.

Mini Album with Tags | Polkadoodles Project

I had so fun creating this sweet little  Mini Album with Tags  using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too. I designed the base cut file myself using  Cricut Design Space , and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here . It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization. For the papers, I used the  Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers  from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside. The sentiment on the bellyband— “Hi, You” —comes from the  Honeypie Greetings Sentiment  pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion. To finish it off, I tied a cute  polkadot ribbon on the tags  for a little e...

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox   This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is  Halloween / Autumn , and while I initially planned on making just one Halloween project, I couldn’t help but want to do an Autumn-inspired one too. So… here’s my second project: a  Gratitude Journaling Folio  featuring the adorable  Autumn Fall Foxes  from Polkadoodles!  This folio is actually a  one-page wonder  design, but I saw the perfect patterned papers in the  Boo Halloween Paper Digital Bundle  and  Enfys Jetsetting Digital Stamp Bundle —so I ended up layering extra panels inside. If you’re recreating this, feel free to stick with a single 12x12 patterned paper, or go wild like I did!  The  cover  is a mixed media combo of a paper doily, trims, flowers, one of the Autumn Fox digi stamps, and the word  “Grateful.”  Inside, I added more sweet words like  “Thankful” ...
