CREATUITIVE PLANNER PAGES

Creating is basically manifesting. If you want to get better at something, what do you do? Well, some people just hope and wish, and others take action. This is an exercise designed around action…inspired action…even if most people might call it by the boring name of ‘practice’.

I have designed a couple of PDFs you can use, to practice your Creatuitivity (manifesting) every day:

  • One PDF is a half-letter sized weekly booklet I call my Weekly Creatuitive Planner Pages, with space for guided intuitive journaling on a weekly overview page, PLUS daily guided intuitive journaling pages to jump start your creativity and manifesting every day of the week with what I like to call a Creatuitive Square!
  • The other PDF is a letter sized 2-page per month calendar grid of squares you can use either for storing the Creatuitive Squares

CREATUITIVE SQUARE AND PLANNER SUPPLIES (stuff I use)

STAMPIN’ UP!* Supplies
If you are in the US, you can buy any of the current Stampin’ Up! product I use, as well as a limited selection of retired product, in My Stampin’ Up! Online Store. Linked below are some of the Stampin’ Up!© supplies I use on my Creatuitive Squares:

  • Whisper White Cardstock (dry use of Watercolor Pencils Asst I and Asst II)
  • Whisper White Thick Cardstock (recommended for use with Stampin’ Blends)
  • Watercolor Paper (recommended for use with AquaPainter)
  • Journaling Pens (for drawing outlines for dry coloring)
  • Stampin’ Trimmer (for cutting my cardstock or paper to size)
  • Stampin’ Write Markers
  • Stampin’ Blends

Other Vendors’ Supplies**
I’ve found these supplies in several different places, such as craft and art supply stores, or sometimes even just my local “big box” stores. For convenience, I wanted to keep all these other links from Amazon, so you can bundle together your shopping if you like. You can find a little more detail on how I use the different supplies, below these links:

  • Sharpie Ultra Fine Tip Marker (outlines for water-based color, i.e. Stampin’ Write Markers)
  • Copic Multiliner Marker Set (outlines for alcohol-based color, i.e. Stampin’ Blends)
  • ARC Hole Punch (does both Letter & Junior Size)
  • ARC Poly Binder – Letter Size (Black)
  • ARC Poly Cover – Letter Size (Stop Dreaming style)
  • ARC Poly Cover – Letter Size (Seems Impossible style)
  • ARC Dividers – Letter Size (Black)
  • ARC Poly Binder – Junior Size (Black)
  • ARC Poly Binder – Junior Size (Black/White Flourish)
  • ARC Dividers – Junior Size (Black)

ARC Supplies are what I use to hold my Creatuitive Planner pages. You don’t need to buy them all, I just put a range of choices up there. I used the Letter Size Binder/Cover/Dividers for my Monthly Creatuitive Calendar Pages. I started out buying a Letter Size Poly Binder, then bought a set of specialty covers to replace the plain black ones. (totally optional, but I like looking at pretties!) I took out the ARC paper from the Poly Binder and printed out my Monthly Creatuitive Calendar Pages PDF on Letter Size paper front-to-back for 12 months, then used the ARC Hole Punch on them so I could use the pages in the Poly Binder.

You can use the ARC preprinted pages that come in the binder for journaling, lists, brainstorming, whatever–just grab a set of the ARC Dividers to separate your sections.

A FEW NOTES ABOUT CREATUITIVE SQUARE CUTTERS – I do NOT create directly onto my Creatuitivity Squares pages, because I don’t want to have to worry about ink showing through my pages. I can choose the media for each of my 1-3/4″ squares that best suits the technique for that square. For instance, if I want to watercolor, I can choose a square of watercolor paper that will not bleed through or warp. There are several ways to cut out your project squares…if you want to want fast and easy, pick a punch; if you want a process that will conserve the most paper, consider a paper trimmer. Do yourself a favor–nix the ruler and scissors method, and buy yourself a sleek tool!
