Aquarium Shadow Box & Planner Layout

Hello, hello! I’m back today with a super fun card I made along with a video showing the process for creating this card. Today, I’m featuring The Sassy Club’s, Under the Sea and Sea Creatures. All supplies used will be listed at the bottom of this post for your convenience.

I generally love interactive cards and this one is no different. It’s only a little different in the sense of what paper medium I’m using. Today, I’m using mainly acetate to create my card.

For my video today, I’m focusing more on putting together this aquarium, which is actually really easy and putting all the elements together to form this card so I hope you enjoy it.

It’s also part of a video hop and my particular channel will be giving away a $25 gift certificate of your choice (US and International). You’ll just need to leave a message on my YouTube. For an extra entry, head over to my instagram, follow me there and leave a comment on this card’s post. The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate of your choice and this is open to US or International. Entries for the giveaway will close on April 20. The winner will be announced on April 21. Good luck!

Additionally, if you’ve been following me on Instagram already I’ve started including my planner layouts inspired by my cards. I’ve been really obsessed with this and I love planner stamping. I use one additional set for the planner, called Making Waves. It’s absolutely adorable and can’t wait to start next week!

Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon!

InkByJeng – Plants (Planner & Card Combo)

Hi everyone! I’ve always been a planner, a list maker, and a person who likes to check things off. After spending last weekend at Plannercon, I’ve been re-inspired to play more in my planners. Yes, plural! However, I also wanted to incorporate it with my cardmaking. There’s a very distinct line between planners and cardmakers but lately, the lines are getting more blurred and I like it.

I usually lean towards a simple, clean and minimalistic planner style. When I came across InkByJeng, I found a company that reflected my style but the functional planner stamps can’t easily be incorporated into cardmaking. I was delighted to see that she has some stamp set illustrations that work well for both planners and cardmaking. I picked up the stamp set, Plants.

For my planner layout, I wanted to create windows and shelves for these Plants to sit on. Using the Rows & Columns Stencil from her shop, it made it super easy to plan out this layout. I love coloring with alcohol markers, but it would bleed through the pages, so I stamped all these images on a sheet of Avery Full Sheet Adhesive Label. This creates them into stickers and I can add them to my page where I see fit. I also used the Mama Elephant Sticky Notes sticky note for my main calendar and a cute sticker from Happy Planner for a quote. For the shelves, I just quickly used my Prismacolor colored pencils to color it in while giving it a woodgrain texture.

For the card portion, I found a background I created awhile back while playing with alcohol inks and it was just perfect to go along with the Plants. I colored everything the same way. I used Pink & Main Stitched Rectangles 2 for the yupo background so it can be matted on a white card base. I used the Thank You die from a pretty old Hero Arts My Monthly Hero set. I added brown cardstock to the bottom of the card, making it look like a table for the plants to sit on. To finish off the card, I added some Studio Katia Iridescent Crystals.

I really enjoyed this idea of showing the multiple uses of a stamp set, whether you do it in your planner or in a card. I hope you enjoyed it too and I hope to share more posts like this in the future.
