Instructions:
1/ Cut a piece of velvet paper 8” x 6“ (203mm x 152.5mm)
2/ Take chipboard letters spelling the word “planner”, ink the edge and cover with the felt.
3/ Cut the word “XMAS” from the vellum. The example uses Impact Bold 255pt.
4/ Decorate a chipboard embellishment.

Stick the bottom of the word XMAS with DST.
6/ Secure the top of the word XMAS with the eyelets.

Glue the velvet decorated panel to the chipboard.
8/ Stick down the letters p, a, n and r.
Stick them along the bottom of the word XMAS so they cover the DST used previously.
9/ Stick the letters l, n and e on top to form the word planner.
10/ Add the chosen decorated embellishment.
11/ This is optional, you may want to tie you planner shut with ribbon. If so, on the inside of the front cover glue a generous piece of ribbon down the centre.
12/ Glue patterned paper to the inside of the cover and hide the ribbon.
13/ Make up a gusseted pocket with a sheet of the vellum.
14/ Attach a strip of printed cardstock to the front with a couple of brads and poke the flap behind to hold it in place.
15-16/ Cut a piece of maroon card to 8” x 6” (203mm x 152.5mm).

Words for the sections are:
WHERE, CARDS, GIFTS, MEALS, FOOD AND WHEN.
18/ Cut a further piece of velvet paper for the back cover and glue to the 2nd piece of chipboard cut earlier.
Attach the ribbon and cover the inside as before and decorate the back cover as desired.
19/ Glue the receipts folder to the inside of the front cover so when you open the cover it is facing you the right way up.
