Joset Designs Planner Essentials

Panda Bear

February 21, 2022

Hello everyone! How are you? Here in the Netherlands we had a big storm this weekend, so it was the perfect weather to craft!

This time I wanted to create a double page in my planner. I chose the Japanese theme for this. Love this theme! I had an idea in my head what I wanted to make.

I started die-cutting two pages out of black craft. For this I used the splatter page. On the back side of the splatter pages I made a basic page in pink. Pink is a favorite color for this theme and also a favorite color of me. Almost on every project I used this color. I usually color everything with distress ink but for this page I chose cardstock which already had the right color.

On the splatter page I made some clouds with a mask stencil and distress oxide in the color spun sugar. The oxide ink has a very cool effect on the black paper. It looks like fog. The mask stencil is ideal for making clouds. I use it very often.

After that I made the panda bear and the koala. Two cute animals in this theme. There will be one on each page. I die cut both animals with White Soft Finish Cardstock and colored them with distress ink. Two little friends.

On the left page I used the symbol background. Made it also in the pink color, the same as on the base page. On the right page I made the bridge and some bamboo for the Panda bear and a cute little temple in front.

To make the pages a whole I made lanterns on the top. I made the background of the lanterns yellow to make it look like they are really on.

I connected the lanterns with a hemp cord to finish it all off.

This was my creation for this time. I hope it inspired you! See you next time.

November 6, 2019

Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. By now you’ve seen the new release from Joset Designs. Oh my. There are new character dies such as the panda and koala bear along with some Japanese style dies. My card was inspired by this photo. Below you will find the steps to create your own Koala bear card.

Step 1 – Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, score at 4 1/4” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card (A2)

Step 2 – Trim White Soft Finish Cardstock to 5 1/2” x 4 1/4”. Apply Distress Oxide ink onto a craft mat and spray with water. Dip the Cardstock into the ink and heat set. Repeat several times until you reach the desired effect.

Step 3 – Diecut Stitched Indented Rectangles using the background created from Step 2. Adhere to card using 3mm Clear Double Sided Adhesive Tape.

Step 4 – Diecut Koala and Bamboo using either coloured Cardstock or ink colours on White Cardstock. Assemble the pieces using Kids Choice Glue. Adhere to card using Kids Choice Glue and Foam Tape.

Step 5 – Stamp Bear Hugs sentiment using Versamark Ink. Sprinkle Silver Embossing Powder and remove the excess. Heat set it using a heat tool. Diecut Stitched Diagonal fishtail and adhere to card using Foam Tape.

This card can be used for many occasions by changing the sentiment and colours. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
