winter december planner setup | hip kit club

December 9, 2016

img_1102dt

I’m here with a winter planner setup for December using my Hip Kits! I dug into my November kits for this one and oh my am I loving all the colors and cute winter elements! I used a mixture of things from the Main Kit, Embellishment Kit and even my December Documented kit to set up my December pages. I began with covering up my December Carpe Diem divider with that beautiful tree paper from Crate Paper’s Snow & Cocoa line that you can find in the Main kit. I absolutely love all the colors of this kit and pretty much kept to the light mint blues, pinks and white of that tree paper throughout my entire setup.

I worked on the divider first. After covering my divider with that paper, I played around with a few pieces from the Snow & Cocoa cut apart paper also in the Main kit. I ended up using that black and white Winter Wonderland piece as my focal point. I layered it on top of one of those mint snowflake pieces from the Snow & Cocoa ephemera pack and place the snowman puffy sticker from the HKC exclusive sticker sheet on top. I kept this divider really simple because that paper was just so lively. I added one of those phrase stickers from the HKC exclusive sticker sheets from the Embellishment kit and another puffy sticker, this one of a pink snowflake. Lastly, I wrote out “DEC” with the sliver glitter thickers that came in the Embellishment kit.

After working on my divider, I went onto decorate my monthly spread. I pulled out two papers from the Main kit, Rosy Cheeks and Cosy, both from the Snow & Cocoa line. I used Rosy Cheeks to cover the border on the top of each insert and Cosy to cover up the sidebar. Since all of the thickers that came in these kits were far too thick for my liking–I didn’t want to bulk up my planner using them–I decided to used the exclusive  flat puffy alpha stickers from the October Hip Kits to write out “December” on the top. The pink color is a bit more on the warm side compared to the pinks of the November kits, but it wasn’t too warm that it didn’t match. It actually matches quite good and I tried using the sides of the papers that had a bit of that peachy pink color on it, so that it balanced the alphas out.

I then went to work embellishing the corner of my monthly spread with a few banners that I cut out of the Snow & Cocoa cut apart sheet. The paper is called Hot Cocoa and it’s from the Main kit. I used the black and white banner with the triangles and snowflakes on it and layered the yellow snowflake banner on top of it. I also made my own horizontal banner from the branding strip of the Cosy paper, layering one of those word phrase stickers on top of it.

Next, I numbered my spread. I used some Simple Stories alphas from my stash and only numbered the days in which I have something due. After I had everything numbered, I began embellishing. I used that tree strip from the Hot Cocoa cut apart sheet to cover up the boxes on the top leading up to the first of December. I had to trim it down to size, but I love how it turned out! I then cut up a bunch of square pieces from the three papers I’ve used on this project to fill some of the calendar boxes. I scattered them about the page, making sure to balance out each pattern. On the bottom right, I placed a piece from the Snow & Cocoa ephemera pack and embellished with a few puffy star stickers from the Pinkfresh Studio Oh Joy! puffy sticker sheet from the December Documented kit. I embellished the boxes I covered with paper with bits from the HKC exclusive die cuts and puffy stickers as well.

Be sure to check out my process video below to get a better look at how my December pages came together!

I also made two really cute bookmarks using the kits for my planner. One is a Today page marker and the other is a corner bookmark that you can use in your planners, but also in notebooks or a book you’re currently reading. I used papers from the Main Kit and embellishments from the Main, Embellishment and December Documented kits. Most is from the Crate Paper Snow & Cocoa line.

The first is a “Today” page marker. I chose a paper that I liked and trimmed it down to fit into my A5 planner. You can trim a strip to fit any size planner or notebook of your choosing though. Once I had the bookmark shaped piece that I wanted, I went ahead and laminated it and then trimmed the excess lamination around the paper. I then embellished it with pieces from the kits. I used the silver glitter thickers from the Embellishment kit to write out the word TODAY on the top. I used two sets of letters for the front and back, as I was very fortunate that the word TODAY is perfectly symmetrical. After I placed and glued down my embellishments, I punched my holes and cut slits into them and slipped my page marker into my planner!

For the second marker, I did a bit of simple origami. I cut a strip of my chosen paper and folded it into a triangle shape, trimming off the excess. I then traced the shape onto a piece of the same pattern paper and cut out that triangle, which I then glued to the back of the folded triangle. This created a little triangle hat, so that you can tuck it over a page corner. I then went ahead and embellished it.

These are really simple projects to add something cute into your planners. Be sure to watch the process video below to get the step by step of how I made these!

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx

Documenting my One Little Word in my #unravelingjournal.

I love my word Heart for this year. If you've seen a particular Youtube video of mine, you would know why I chose it, but by documenting it in my journal and simply carrying it around with me I realized it contains multitudes!!! I love how I can visually document it so effortlessly since it's a symbol and a shape. I also embrace its many layers and meaning. I'm just in love with my word. She's a winner. xx

I shared a look at the January pages I made in my unraveling journal the other day on my new website tiffanyjulia.com. I've been working in this journal pretty much on the down low while I've been working on a new project. I quite like how some of these pages turned out. I'll share them all here in the coming days. xx
