How Do I Find the Host Code and Information About Appreciation Gifts?

Appreciation Gifts From Tranquillity Cottage

• Each customer placing an order and using my current host code will receive a thank you card showing my appreciation. The host code is listed in the right-hand column of my blog. 

• In addition, any orders over $50 (not including taxes and shipping) will receive a 4" x 5.25" package of sample cardstock with coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Leisure Planner Ideas

After years of hard work as a family and consumer education teacher, it's time to genuinely relax - just like they say, "Take time to smell the roses!" We can all relate to the need for some well-deserved relaxation, and that's exactly why I am eager to share my monthly planner with you! This planner, with helpful links to blog articles, is designed to help carve out precious time for hobbies and leisure activities, ensuring we pamper ourselves.

Planning your days is more than organizing; it is about having a reason to wake up and find a purpose! It is knowing that life is more than working; leisure time is good for our health, too. 

Let's cultivate a community where we can share our stories and celebrate our passions together—because at Tranquility Cottage, we believe every moment spent on creativity is well spent! 

Take care,

Linda Ann

How to Print a 9.25" x 7" size for a Classic Happy Planner:

• Follow the Classic Happy Planner link in the blue box.
• Size your printer to 8.5" x 11" paper at 100%.
• For my HP printer the Stampin' Up! Basic White cardstock feeds well through the machine.
• Print.
• Next, I use a Paper Trimmer to resize the cardstock to the classic size of 9.25" wide x 7" high.
• First, trim the left side of the calendar along the red line.
• Next, line up the right side of the calendar so that it measures 9.25" wide. The goal is to cut along the red line but it depends on the scale of your printer. 
• Lastly, trim off 1.5" along the top edge of the cardstock. The height needs to measure 7". 
• My favorite Happy Planner is the classic vertical. Select the month of November pages. 

• Punch holes using a classic-sized mushroom punch on the top of the calendar.

• Insert into the Happy Planner at the beginning of the month or in a selected section using rings. 

Preparing for the Pen

Draw lines using the handy "Line it Up" stencils. There are boxes to draw squares or circles for creating checkboxes.

Tombow makes my favorite correct tape. It covers mistakes, and the tape hides planner lines that peek through stickers. 

When it is time for the pen, I select the MUJI 0.38 black fine gel ink. 

Stampin' Blends are my favorite alcohol markers to blend, add highlights, and draw shadows for a 3D coloring effect.

Tips on Using the Host Code - What are the Benefits?

Host Code. Is this term unfamiliar to you? When I started shopping with Stampin' Up! I admit I didn't know what my demonstrator meant by a Host Code. I was happy though - because I received a discount and free items! My discovery of the benefits happened when I became a demonstrator. That is when I learned about discounts and appreciation gifts. 

Take care,

Linda Ann

10 Tips to Coordinate Cardstock with Designer Series Paper: Unlocking the Secrets to Card Creations

When your eagerly awaited Designer Series Paper (DSP) arrives from Stampin' Up!, the rush of crafting begins! But what comes next?

The longer that I paper craft, the more I discover creative resources such as:

1. Labels on the DSP package list coordinating cardstock colors.
2. Read the online or catalog descriptions for DSP for color matching.
3. The Stampin' Up! catalogs display examples of cards and color schemes.
4. Upload the Color Coach Cards for color scheme ideas.
5. Check out the newest Stampin' Up! product, The Color Coach wheel for selecting cardstock.
6. Seek inspiration from Social Media.
7. Browse blogs and demonstrator's pages for color inspiration.
8. The world of color is all around you. Look at colors in fabric, nature, food styling, home décor, colors on packaging, and (one of my secrets) the cover of puzzle boxes.
9. Purchase suites or kits where the designer completes the color choices.
10. Lastly, experiment with color! Adding a neutral (white, beige, gray, black, or brown) helps blend an "interesting" color scheme.

I encourage you to unleash your imagination and take full advantage of these resources to elevate your crafting experience. Further explanation of the tips are continued in today's blog post. 

Take care,

Linda Ann

8. World of Color

9. Purchase Suites or Kits

One of the most helpful resources when working on DYI projects is to use coordinated suites or kits. The image shows the Regal Winter Suite from Stampin' Up! See the product shopping icons at the end of this post for additional information. 

10. Experiment with Color and Include Neutrals

Have fun with colors. If you feel the hues are overwhelming, include a neutral to tone down the vibrancy. Consider using embellishments or ribbon to provide a resting spot for the eye or use neutral matting.
