To create my Garden Journal Tag, I’ve used a variety of the dies from the Planner Essentials Collection as well as a variety of stamps and dies from the Sidekick Essentials Collection. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my tag at home.

Step One. From the Planner Essentials 30 – Wave Pocket die, die cut the 3″ tag out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Next, you’ll need the flower from the Sidekick Essentials – In My Garden stamp set. Apply Emboss It Ink to the flower stamp and stamp onto the tag. Reapply ink to the stamp as needed and stamp on the tag until the entire tag has flowers on it. Ink the edges of the tag using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Two. Choose two pieces of patterned paper out of the Reminiscence the Book. From the Sidekick Essentials 16 – Seed Packet Set, you’ll need the torn edge and letters/numbers. Die cut the torn edge die from one of the patterned papers. Die cut the letters/numbers die out of the other piece of patterned paper. Cut the torn edge down to 1″ wide. Cut the letters/numbers die cut down to 3″ x 1 1/2″. Ink the edges of both pieces using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

To create my Let’s Do This Planner Insert, I’ve used a variety of the dies from the Sidekick Essentials and Planner Essentials Collection. You’ll want to read below as I share with you how to recreate my planner insert at home.

Die cut the rectangle out of the patterned paper. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Three. Choose a third piece of patterned paper out of the Reminiscence the Book. From the Sidekick Essentials 11 – This Week Fold Out Page, you’ll need the circle. Die cut the circle out of the patterned paper. Cut the circle in half. Ink the edges of both halves using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the one of the arrows out of one of the patterned papers. Die cut the other arrow out of the other patterned paper.

You’ll need a total of 8 reinforcements. Ink the edges of the reinforcements using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Step Seven. Adhere the four of the reinforcements on the left hand side of the ticket, in order so that they line up with your planner. Flip the ticket over and adhere the remaining four reinforcements overtop of the already adhered reinforcements.

The Good Life – Seed Packet Mini Album

March 22, 2021

Hello Friends and welcome! It is Karan here to share a project I designed using the new Sidekick Release. For those who know how much I love albums, I also love to create mini albums too. 

This one is designed using the Seed Packet Die from Sidekick Essentials 16. 

To begin with I cut the seed pack out five times using paper from 49 and Market. I cut vellum to go on the inside of the packet for the window. I cut out extras thinking I might make the album larger but ended up going with 5 packets instead of 8.

Then I assembled them.

I then cut the side panel from the same sidekick set and created the pages and continued to decorate them. I love tags and cut out a tag for each page just as an added layer and photo mat for some of my photos. This tag was cut from Planner Essentials 2, which I also cut to go inside each opening of the Seed Packet page. I am going to share images from this little mini and then add the dies I used below. Hope you enjoy this mini project.

And then details for the cover:

I cut doubles for the large floral and the medium size floral for the cover, two sets of leaves and then I used the skeleton leaf from the Sidekick Essential 16 set. Ii love how the florals shape so beautifully.

I hope that I inspired you to create a mini album using this Seed Pocket Set. It makes a perfect little mini album. 

Until Next time

Happy Scrapping!
