Beautiful bright and vibrant!!🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🦋

[@squairdplans]

Thank you so much!

[@kimberlymacandog7616]

the video just started....and I am SO EXCITED!!! I don't do even close to as much as you. But creativity wise, I feel like we are on the same page! You inspire me to DO MORE CRAFTING than planning or journaling!!!!

[@squairdplans]

Happy to inspire! 👍☺️

[@michelleadams5609]

Summer already. Oh boy. lol Thanks for inspiring us to plan seasonally. It always keeps things fresh while other planners are already "bored and burned out". That's the wonder of the disc system as opposed to a bound system. I've been doing discs, primarily Happy Planner, consistently for about 6 years and always looking for small things I can do to keep things fun, time permitting. Hope you were able to sort out your internet! God bless.

[@squairdplans]

Very true. I think the ability to change things with ease is what really keeps me in a discbound format. The seasonal refresh does just that...refreshes my excitement for planning!

[@kishaowens3431]

Cute covers! Thank you for the freebies!

[@squairdplans]

You are so welcome!

[@pennyf1101]

Thank you for the freebies 🙂

[@squairdplans]

Happy to share!

[@karynbuel2126]

YAY!!🫶🫶ur techniques.. I've been wanting to make pocket folders-long time. Have laminator,sheets but sooo afraid to attempt a pattern. If no1 has told u lately, u r amazing!🥰

[@squairdplans]

Aww, thanks! Happy to share!

[@kimberlymacandog7616]

IMPERFECTION is your own personality!!!! There is no perfect!!! YOU DO YOU!! And make me feel that much better about my hap-hazzered oopies!!!!!

[@squairdplans]

True! I am just doing this for myself so if I’m okay with the “mishaps” then it’s all good!

[@MoneyBossInTheMaking]

Great video Stephanie! They turn out great! Thanks for sharing🤩✌🏾

[@squairdplans]

Thank you! ☺️

[@wendieayala2725]

Love your videos! I was gifted a craft heating tool for my classroom, when my Pastor and his wife were moving. The heating tool works great for those thicker corners that don't adhere well. I heat it the heating tool and then use the sticker scraper to push the sides together. Hope that helps someone!

[@squairdplans]

I may have one...I will have to look through my stash and see if works. TFS!

[@flowers218]

I love lové this video showing how the dic punch was used. I've seen so many videos wanting to know how to start that first hole. This was the best way I feel to try it. So helpful and impressive 😘😘 I've just subscribed ❤

[@squairdplans]

Thanks for subbing! I had a few trial and error attempts way back when till I finally worked out this foolproof way to punch. Happy to share!

[@JustGingersLoveofDisney]

Thanks for sharing

[@squairdplans]

Happy to share!

[@SunflowerJadeCreations]

Awesome! I highly recommend a MINC laminator. I have both the one used in your video and the MINC. The minc really does a great job melting the pouch and the sctotch has very uneven heating…

[@squairdplans]

they had some Minc laminators on clearance at Joann's a couple of years ago and I passed because I thought it was only for foiling. Totally regret it now... 😢

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Fun covers! I recently got myself a mini Happy Planner on discount & find I really like this size for on the go. I made some extra narrow lined pages for my Bible journaling for my classic size planner. I need to make one now for my mini. It’s fun to keep things fresh!

[@squairdplans]

That is awesome! Glad you are enjoying your mini!

[@wendyhoward2699]

So nice! I don’t know if I could ever do all that! You are amazing, Stephanie. Many blessings.

[@squairdplans]

It's easier than it looks. I have tried all the ways already so you don't have to figure things out yourself! ;)

[@crystalhadley392]

Great video!

[@squairdplans]

Thanks so much!

[@JustGingersLoveofDisney]

Fun idea! I love to personalize my planner stuff. 1, I’ve always used, or attempted to use, the HP hole punch only to fail miserably. That single punch from We R Memory Keepers looks so much easier. 2, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT PEN LOOP?

[@squairdplans]

I DIY'd the pen loop, of course! Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3m2k6inprx_i80

[@JustGingersLoveofDisney]

Have you made page dividers with tabs? I want to make some with tabs on top. I think this way, with the laminator would be best.

[@squairdplans]

I have...Lots of ways, too! Here is a compilation video showing a couple of different ways: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGa1iJSffdxseq8

[@marisamcpherson5947]

Punching foil used to be a hack for sharpening not sure if it works.

[@squairdplans]

Yeah, I heard that, too, but it did nothing. Punching fine grit sandpaper helped a smidge but haven’t found a real solution. 😔

[@bonnie5972]

I recently I purchased a corner punch and believe there was a paper included which stated to use wax paper to clean it. Of course I threw it away but maybe someone else can comment on it.

[@squairdplans]

Hmm, I can see how that would work. TFS!

[@elizabethlizzieloucreates7731]

I bought this disc planner punch and it doesn’t space the holes to match the disc distance on the store-bought happy planners.

[@squairdplans]

That is odd. Mine is a perfect fit as far as spacing the holes. It does have a slightly longer stem than happy planner pages but I actually prefer that as it holds the sheets in a bit better. Perhaps you got a defective one? Can you return it and get another?
