Love the idea of a customized holiday planner! I am inspired to try making my own planner covers. I appreciate your honesty about how you would do something differently the next time and letting us learn from you, not just reshooting those parts of your videos so that everything is perfect. Thank you for the creative ideas and sharing all your tips as you work through projects!
I have never tried to laminate just the tabs through my laminator. I have the same one as well, but the dollar store sells small laminating sheets for like IDs. You could cut what you need and iron it using the sheet that comes in the package. Just an idea!
I haven't laminated tabs with the laminater but I use heavy duty packing tape to cover the tabs and that works well. The last set of dividers I made I just laminated the whole divider
I just found this video and I am so glad you shared how to do this!! I've been trying for 3 days to figure out how to put a planner together haha. Thanks so much!
Yes I have laminated one side of my dividers, actually do it all the time. I like creating a wet erase on opposite side of the divider to be used over and over which worked great. One tip is to use scrap paper for the excess plastic to grab on to so it doesn't melt in your machine. TFS Be Blessed
Oh, this is just gorgeous! As a Rabbi, I do not celebrate Christmas but I can see that your wonderful ideas could easily be reworked for winter Jewish holidays. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity. May your Christmas be blessed with infinite joy and light!
This is fantastic. I have been wanting to "build" my own planner because I'm just not pleased with the selection lately. I love this! You make it look so easy, I only hope it goes this well when I try it. Thank you so much.
You made my day! I love what you've done for us. It was so hard to get this project started but like always you provided not only what but how. Thank you and God bless you.
This is why I love your channel, you provide ways to save economically. Thanks so much! With the price of planner supplies sky rocketing we have to shop our stash and DIY! I purchased a ton of regular undated inserts and extension packs so I don’t plan on purchasing anymore planner stuff. Although I will purchase your inserts on Etsy!
Most well out neatest DIY planner I’ve yet to see. Just neat and organized. I would say this was bought but since I know it’s put together from scratch, this is by far one of the best DIY planners I’ve come across.
This came out really wonderful. Question 🙋♀️ could you have put the pocket folder in another sheet of laminate after you placed the washi and the embellishments and ran it through sealing it all up to keep the glitter in?? Or would that be too thick or just not worked hmmm 🤔 Also will you be doing a process video of how you make your Christmas cards and I’d you do can you do it early so we can learn? You give great instructions. Thanks for this video it came out great
First, the double lamination is a good idea, though of course I have not tried it yet. And second, I didn't realize there was interest in non-planner stuff. If' I can get things together far enough in advance, I'll create a video of the process. :)
This is a terrific project! It looks so festive too. In addition, you have given me an idea for a special Christmas gift for my adult daughters. I will try to make them family recipe books following your methods. I may make one for myself too! :)
This is my newest project now! After watching your video, I knew I had to do this! Your themes in the planner for dividers were SO inspiring too and I am definitely including a reflection tab. Great stuff as usual!
@@tonya-mariejablonski8804 I’ve had the washi (Heidi swapp I think) and the snowflake punch (recollections) for a long while. The paper pad was from last year. All are from Michael’s.
New to your channel and really liked your tutorial. I planned on doing my first December daily/journal and wanted to use the Happy Planner style and you gave me some great ideas. Thanks.
Great video! Love how you did everything. I once seen CraftyGirl use a gift bag as her covers with the laminating machine. When I get a laminator I'm so doing that.
@@squairdplans loved your freebies last year. I had like a month at a glance page in my December section for bucket list and traditions.... Songs. Movies etc... Thinking about doing more pages this year .
@@ajewelddesign I started out 2019 with similarly compact setup. Then last year it expanded and now I’ve got a dedicated planner. I think the most important thing is finding out what you really need and what brings you joy. 😁💚❤️
Hi! Love this idea! Can you offer any video help with the sizing for cutting all the pages and the cover out? Also, is there a specific measurement for the placement of the disc holes? I would so appreciate any help in this as I would love to make this! Subscribed and liked!! :)
I just put up my lineup video which walks through cutting and punching printables from my shop: ruclips.net/video/R5t05r7vl3E/видео.html As for the the kikki k planner, my advice would be to crop the pages by hand in your PDF software to the page size. You will likely need to duplicate the pages since most are 2 page spreads. Then once you have a clean file of single pages, scale them up to your desired page size at print. I know it is not a video but hopefully that will help you get your project going.
Awesome job!!!!!! I got my Christmas planner out last week before going shopping to see what decorations I had listed last year that I wanted to purchase this year. I'm so ready to plan for the holidays.
I was curious about trying to laminate the tabs only. I have the same laminater you do and amazon basic laminating pocket sheets. I had a laminating sheet that I was trying to laminate by itself to make a clear bookmark and I had to pull the page out mid way because it was getting jammed. So it wasn't laminated all the way. I also had a divider I made out of scrapbook paper. The 1st try I cut out a square of un laminated page bigger than the tab and and ran it through the laminate holding onto the tab tightly, 1 square on each side that was not connected, until it was caught by the feed. The back piece still fell off but the front laminated fine. I cut it down and tried again. This time I cut out a bigger rectangle and folded the laminator sheet peice over the tab. Holding on tight when it was caught by the feeder the edge caught and folded up so it created its own little tab sticking off but the rest laminated fine. Due to the edge folding over I don't have a clean laminated tab. I didnt try a 3rd time. I was able to peel the laminated sheet off the divider very easily after it cooled down. The paper was fine the laminated sheet us pulled off the gold foil that was part of the paper design. I still feel the self laminating sheets would be best. But I don't have any to try
The paper I use is HP Printer Paper Premium 32lb, 8.5x11: amzn.to/2rKM19o It’s very bright and thick enough for double sided printing, however any 100-120gsm paper should work just fine. Hope this helps!
I'm having an adulting is hard moment... Here's Stephanie is planning for the holidays... I'm sitting in my car sulking and eating lunch, in the back of my head praying I just make it through October without cussing out somebody at this college... Trying to decide if I want to quote my Like grandmama this holiday season... I'mma get in my bed, pull the covers over my head, and sleep through the holidays. #adultingishard
It’s still pretty new but it has performed well so far. I thought about getting a more expensive one to handle 10mil laminate but I couldn’t justify the cost. I think this one is a great budget friendly option for casual use. 😁👍🏼
Do you find that the we-r-memory keepers punch doesn't punch EXACTLY like the HP punch? I find pages hard to turn on HP discs when I punch them with that punch. I've heard the stem of that punch is narrower than the HP punch.
I use it and haven't had any issues. Maybe just trim a sliver from one side of the stem part if you have trouble? My HP punch barely punches through paper anymore so I use this a lot more now.
I have not had any issues with turning pages, etc. but like Christine said, widening the tails will help the papers turn smoother. I have found that the discs you use do make a difference on how the paper fits within it so, also keep that in mind.
@@DreamingTinyDesigns use the folded foil trick to sharpen your punch. Fold over several layers and punch away. Then do several more times. This is an old trick from scissors and craft punches.
So the easiest way to resize the planner is to use print scaling. Here is the formula you can use to find the correct scaling for any inserts: desired planner page size (use either length or width) ÷ actual printable size (corresponding length or width) × 100 = % So, for example, if you want to resize a letter printable (8.5” x 11”) to personal size (3.7”x 6.7”), here is how you would do it: 3.7 ÷ 8.5 × 100 = 43% (width) or 6.7 ÷ 11 × 100 = 60% (length) Use the lower percentage (43% in the example) to ensure nothing is cut off. The closer the percentages are, the better the printable will fit in the desired planner page size. Hope this helps!
I've never tried laminating just the tab portion, but I do know that because they dymo label maker is thermal, laminating at this point WILL discolor your labels turning them black. I once made some top dividers and laminated after the labels were added. BAD IDEA on my part. 😂
I use both of those and InDesign as well! Just depends on what I am trying to do. I imported the a5 planner pdf into a classic sized indesign file to size them up and make adjustments. I edited the cover in photoshop.

@@squairdplans Thanks for the formula/directions. I do not have fancy software to enlarge the print, but copying on my printer while resizing to 120% did the trick to get from A5 (5.8 x 8.3) to HP Classic size (7.0 x 9.25). These are very cute dividers. Thanks for the link to kikki’s blog.

There are some self-sticking lamination sheets that are 4x6. You could use those for the tabs.
Thanks for the suggestion! 😁👍🏼
very nice, twice laminating is - acc. to my opinion- better with a second laminating sheet? Then, the wholes will stay firm.
I'm going to try that! Do you punch the 1st pouch before you laminate a second time, or do you punch all at the end?
thanks for sharing Lara. I will have to try that! Also interested in the process Steppy mentioned.
This is beautiful!! New subscriber

How did you change the pages to print classic size?
So the easiest way to resize the planner is to use print scaling. Here is the formula you can use to find the correct scaling for any inserts:
desired planner page size (use either length or width) ÷ actual printable size (corresponding length or width) × 100 = %
So, for example, if you want to resize a letter printable (8.5” x 11”) to personal size (3.7”x 6.7”), here is how you would do it:
3.7 ÷ 8.5 × 100 = 43% (width)
or
6.7 ÷ 11 × 100 = 60% (length)
Use the lower percentage (43% in the example) to ensure nothing is cut off. The closer the percentages are, the better the printable will fit in the desired planner page size. Hope this helps!

Use the lower percentage (43% in the example) to ensure nothing is cut off. The closer the percentages are, the better the printable will fit in the desired planner page size. Hope this helps!
@@squairdplans thank you I'll give that a go
Loved your planner! Can you tell how you turned de A5 kikki k organizer into HP size?
Thanks! So the easiest way to resize the planner is to use print scaling. Here is the formula you can use to find the correct scaling for any inserts:
desired planner page size (use either length or width) ÷ actual printable size (corresponding length or width) × 100 = %
So, for example, if you want to resize a letter printable (8.5” x 11”) to personal size (3.7”x 6.7”), here is how you would do it:
3.7 ÷ 8.5 × 100 = 43% (width)
or
6.7 ÷ 11 × 100 = 60% (length)
Use the lower percentage (43% in the example) to ensure nothing is cut off. The closer the percentages are, the better the printable will fit in the desired planner page size. Hope this helps!
@@squairdplans thank you!
@@squairdplans Thanks for the formula/directions. I do not have fancy software to enlarge the print, but copying on my printer while resizing to 120% did the trick to get from A5 (5.8 x 8.3) to HP Classic size (7.0 x 9.25). These are very cute dividers. Thanks for the link to kikki’s blog.
