A5 Planner Dashboard Tutorial with Aimee

Hello crafty peeps! Aimee here with you today to share a tutorial on creating planner dashboards. I’ve been doing this all year long because I feel there are so many of Lori’s svg cuts that create a very unique dashboard!

To start off I needed an A5 planner template so I would know how to resize all of my svg pieces. I created this template myself by scanning one of my pages and importing it into my Silhouette program to get the cut lines I needed.

I pulled up the A2 Beach Card svg file and deleted all of the pieces I didn’t need which are the card base, card front panel piece, and the sentiment tag. I know this is a card svg but I just knew it make a fabulous planner dashboard!

I also pulled up the Cloud Dingbat font to get a title for my dashboard.

I wanted it to stand out so I added an offset cut.

I played around with the sizes of the cuts to get it to fit onto my A5 planner page template.

Here are my pieces after I cut them out with my Silhouette.

And here they are adhered down to my August A5 planner page with some added decorations. I also ran my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen over the sun and umbrella.

And here is finished product in my planner! It sets the tone of how I want the rest of my August planner pages to look.

Here is a look at my January dashboard with a Lori Whitlock sentiment svg.

My April dashboard sports the beautiful mason jar svg cut.

There are so many options of Lori Whitlock svg cuts to create a unique look for all your planner dashboards!

Crayon Box Card with Kathy

Well, I don’t think we can deny it any more, Back to School time is definitely here.  The public schools here in the Northeast are still enjoying vacation, but many of my friend’s kiddos across the country are already back in the classroom!  Summer just flew by!  Luckily, Lori has some really cute back to school designs to make it all a little better.  I fell in love with this Box Card Crayons (SVG, Silhouette)  as soon as I saw it!  It reminds me of new school supplies and a fresh box of crayons!  Take a peek…

The only thing that’s missing is the sharpener in the back of the box!  I know a lot of teachers who would love to receive this cute card!  Lori has an assembly video for this type of card here:  A2 Box Cards New Method.   That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Welcome Sign featuring Vintage Sign Font with Ashley

Happy First Day of School for some of you out there today!  Two of my kids are headed to the first day–both in high school.  I also have a Freshman in college who will be starting in a couple of weeks.  I am featuring a sign today using the Vintage Sign Font found here in the Shop or in the Silhouette Store.  This font has great letters for signs as well as some special characters.

To find those special characters, you can see them in Silhouette Studio.  Or if you are using another program.  The special shapes are found on these keys: []|<>? (look next to P on the keyboard and next to M).

I used Oramask 813 purchased at Expressions Vinyl to make the stencil for the board. I also decided to get the Silhouette Roll Feeder since my sign is 5 feet tall.  I would highly recommend the roll feeder.  It kept the vinyl moving nice and straight.  One caution is that as you get to the end of the roll of vinyl, be careful that it doesn’t get stuck as it is moving in/out of the machine.

I used the alphabet and the leaf which can be found with keys [ ].   The board is common board–5′ tall and 9″ wide.  The tall board makes a great front porch statement!
