Many of us—including myself—love to decorate our planners into Instagram and Pinterest—worthy accessories, topped off with the perfect lighting and a sleek filter. C&P has created a written and visual guide to layering your planner items so that you can start building your dream planner, bursting with aesthetic beauty and satisfying organization that will inspire others.

Layering Dashboards

To layer dashboards, it’s ideal to utilize a variety of different materials, such as transparent, frosted, and opaque. Start with an opaque dashboard, then layer one or more frosted dashboards and finish with a transparent dashboard on top.

Adding Accessories

For additional layering touches, test different sticky notes and page flags of varying colors under both frosted and transparent dashboards. Our Transparent Sticky Notes in the classic and luxe shade Cappuccino pairs flawlessly with our Goal Sticky Notes in Moscow. Add both sticky notes over a layered Paint Swatch Dashboard to create a gorgeous neutral brown palette. Our Crystal Clear Credit Card Holders (HP Mini 7-Disc Punch | Half Letter 8-Disc Punch) provides a crystal clear transparent view, perfect for additional layering. Create aesthetically pleasing palettes by storing and coordinating page flags in the credit card holders.
