Exprimiendo El Kit De Frutas / Squeezing The Fruit Kit

Exprimiendo el kit de frutas

Buenos días! Soy Maria de nuevo, y hoy vengo a contaros qué se me ha ocurrido hacer para exprimir el kit de octubre.

No os pasa que cada mes pensáis “éste es mi favorito. Nada que se le ocurra a Sam va a gustarme más”  y al final, llega el mes siguiente y es mejor aún? A mi me pasa tooooodos los meses.

Good Morning! Here Maria again, and today I am going to tell you what I did to to squeeze the October fruit kit.

Don't you think that every month passed "this is my favorite". The planner kit from Happie Scrappie has been improving from time to time, thanks to Sam's creative mind. Frr me, aaaaaall months.

Bueno, os cuento, este mes conseguí hacerme con uno de los confettidoris de Teddi (sí! Soy una chica con suerte, YAY!) Así que me dije, tengo que hacer algo diferente con éste. Como ya sabéis, odio hacer la compra, pero cocinar, si tengo tiempo, me gusta bastante. Desgraciadamente, a diario voy siempre como loca y terminamos comiendo muy mal, así que he decido hacerme con una guía de recetas fáciles y rápidas para comer  mejor. Así que el insert va a ser mi “libro de recetas” sanas. Además, nunca es tarde (o muy pronto) para la “operación bikini”, verdad?

Well, I tell you, this month I got one of the Limited Edition Confettidori (yes, I'm a lucky girl, YAY!) So I said, I have to do something different with it. As you know, I hate groceries, but cooking, if I have time, I enjoy it a lot. Unfortunately, every day I always go crazy and ended up eating very un-healthy, so I decided to get myself a guide for quick and easy recipes to eat healthier. So the insert will be my healthy "cookbook" recipes. Besides, it's never too late (or too early) for "Bikini Operation", right?

Aquí tenéis un collage con mis primeras recetas, todas súper sencillitas y rápidas, y también un listado de los platos que nos gustan y cocino a menudo, con todos los ingredientes, para no olvidarme de nada cuando voy a mi (odiada) compra semanal.

Como veis he hecho unos marca páginas con los Post it de frutas, un troquel de círculo, los note pads, y un cordón (o cinta decorativa).

Primero he laminado los troquelados y post it y luego he hecho una pequeña incisión, donde he puesto la cinta decorada y la he pegado, no hay misterio!

También con los troquelados de los notepads he hecho un par de clips, soy fan de estas frutas.

Here's a collage with my first recipes, all easy and fast, and also a list of dishes that we like and cook often, with all the ingredients, not to forget anything when I go to my (hated) weekly visit to grocery.

As you see I have made some page marker with fruit Sticky Notes, a cicle punch , the note pads, and a cord (or decorative tape).

First I laminated the sticky notes and punched notepads, then I made a small incision, where I put the decorate tape and glue it, there is no mystery!

Also with the circle puncher, I punched the notepads and I made a couple of clips, I'm a fan of these fruits.

Y por último, he preparado la semana con las mil tareas que me esperan, y un montón de pegatinas que tengo de éste y de los kits anteriores. Soy la única a la que le encantan todas y le da pena usarlas?

And last, I prepared for the upcoming week, with the thousand tasks that await me, and lots of stickers that I have from this and previous kits. I am the only one who loves all and she is embarrassed to use them?

Como siempre, quería daros las gracias por estar ahí y os invito a que os unáis al grupo de Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/happiescrappie/  Cada día somos más y sois realmente creativas!

Feature Friday #2 | DIY Ideas for Your Planners / Filofax

Hello everyone! This blog post should be up yesterday but something came up so I could only post it up today. I hope this post would inspire you or at least give you some ideas to make use of  your Cocoa Daisy goodies and art supplies to personalise your own planner(s).This is a photo-heavy post with plenty of planner DIY ideas - from making your own paper clips to stickers. So do sit back and grab a cuppa while scrolling thru this post.

1. Stamping on the good ol' Post It's

The regular post it's are boring but their adhesive is way better than the cutesy one that your could get from Target or Daiso (p.s. those are so cute but they never stick / repositionable).

I use the Get Foxy and the Under The Bed Stamp set to prettify the post-its. Even my 2-year-old is obsessed with these monster stamps and keeps asking me to stamp these on his arms.

2. Make your own stickers

Okay, this is no-brainer. All you need to do is to stamp on a piece of sticker paper (you can get them from Amazon or any office supply store) and cut them out. I like to stamp a bunch of these stickers using my favourite stamp sets and cut them out whenever i have free time or watching YouTube. I keep a bunch of these in a zipper pouch in my planner.

I also likes to colour the white reinforcement stickers and small label stickers using Copic Markers. Of course you can colour the stickers with highlighter markers, distress markers or even water colour.

Just in case you are wondering, I am using these white reinforcement ring stickers and small label stickers from Daiso - I love love love them as they are repositionable / removable.

This is how the stickers look like in my blank planner pages.

3. DIY Paper Clips

I love these two stamp sets a lot. So I stamped the fox and monster on a piece of white cardstock, and fussy cut the stamp images. You can certainely glue the paper clips to back of the cut image using liquid glue / hot melt glue (I use Helmar 450 Quick Dry glue and they work really well). To make the paper clips sturdier, I laminated the cut image with hot laminator before gluing the paper clips.

The paper clips are so cute in the front pockets of my planners. >_<

4. Cute Planner Tassels for Your Planner(s)

I didn't get the the craze of hanging a huge tassel on my planner as they are bulky and don't look practical at all. My bestie wanted a tassel (in unicorn colour) for her planner. So I googled tutorial on how to make a tassel and found this tutorial super useful.

To make the tassels even cuter, I stamp the foxy stamp on a piece of shrink plastic. If you need a tutorial on how to stamp on shrink plastic, I had a blogpost here. You can also make the shrinkies into cute pen charms / planner charm. I have even more DIY planner decoration ideas for you in the future blog post. So stay tuned, planner girls!

Xoxo,
Sam
