Hello again,
It has been a while since I last blogged - I have had a lot going on in the last year - but onwards and upwards from now on. :)
I recently brought a planner collection from The Printable Craft shop, covering Christmas and the rest of the year and thought I would share it with you.
If you would like to make one too, simply go to The Printable Craft Shop website and purchase what you like - they have a lot of choices.

TIME TO MAKE (after
printing sheets needed) - Average 45 - 60 minutes
INSTRUCTIONS
Print out all sheets listed above after purchasing from The
Printable Craft Shop from Crafting 4 Good.
On the reverse of the back panel and side panel 1 print the backing
paper on the reverse. You get a choice
of what pages you would like in your planner, so print out the sheets you would
like, I printed 25 of each to give a substantial notes pad.
Then cut them all out and score on the panels where marked
(back page and notes holders). On the
notes holders and all notes pages you need to punch out the holes – which are
marked but a white circle. You also need
to perforate the notes pages, you can do this using a paper trimmer with a
perforator built in or with a needle and mat and poke the needed through every
2mm.
Make up the holds holder by scoring down the score lines and
cutting down the white sections at each end and fold and glue (as you would a
box). Once dry, you simply place your
notes pages into the holder lining up the punches hold and secure with a brad.
Take your back page which you have scored and fold the two
scored ends inwards. You will glue/tape side panel 1 to the right side and side
panel 2 to the left side (with the planner open towards you). On the reverse of these you will stick the
back sides of side panel 1 & 2 to give a clear pretty finish.
Once you have stuck the front and backs of both side panels
on you will end up with what looks like a gate fold card.
Using the notes you have made up, stick the large weekly
planner to the centre back page, and the to do list / blank notes pages to the
left side (facing you) but turn side-ways and stick this down also. Finally on the right side panel stick the
long notes pages.
When sticking these down, please ensure they do not over
laps each other (the notes holder sections, otherwise it will not close
properly and will not sit flush- stagger them slightly. I found it was easier to do the centre one
first then the two end ones.
Although this project takes a while to print and put
together, it is such a beautiful project when finishes and makes a stunning
gift, it is well worth the time it takes to make it.
There are also Christmas planners available with lovely
variety of notes pages, such as recipes, gifts, weekly planners etc., and all
the reminders pages you need to organise and plan your Christmas.
Thank you for taking the time to read the instructions
and I hope you are as happy with your finished project as I am with mine.
It will make lovely gifts.
TTFN,
Debs x
