Stamps, Ink and Avery Labels




I have had so much fun making colorful stickers using ink pads, copic markers and plain white Avery labels.  It is easy, quick, and cost effective way to have coordinating colors for your planner/


I used   Avery 5418  and Avery 5408  labels.  They are about $5.00 for 1000 plus labels.



I then used my Tim Holtz Distress inks to color the labels.  I tried using colorbox chalk ink and they cover really well but take a bit to dry where the Tim Holtz ink dry almost immediately. Around here Joann's has the best selection of Tim Holtz Inks and with a 40% off coupon they are a good value.  Amazon.com also sells them if you do not have a Joann's near you. I love the mini ink pads they are perfect for planner stamping.

Choose your ink color and then cover your labels with ink I did everything from a solid color to a mix of colors.  Don't worry about getting the ink all over the label.  The distress inks combine great to create a mix of colors. 



After the ink has dried instead of pulling off the labels pull off the excess paper it comes off in one sheet easily and you are left with a sheet of colorful stickers. 




How easy is that to create colorful stickers for your planner.  

While I was playing with ink I decided to try making glitter stickers using Stickles glitter glue. 








They are 3d like stickers and will add some bulk to your planner page but look at the glitter.  These 
will take overnight to dry.

I have my Erin Condren planner in my electric blue Filofax Finsbury which I love.
