Welcome to Enchanted Journal Kit! In this step-by-step video, we’ll build a cozy, vintage-style Christmas planner that keeps December calm and magical. Using my Retro Christmas Planner Kit, we’ll set up monthly/weekly pages, gift trackers, budget & menu logs, festive lists, and embellish with nostalgic ephemera—Santas, cardinals, owls, bunnies, and mid-century postcard art. You’ll finish with a functional keepsake that actually helps you plan, not just decorate.

✂️ What You’ll Learn:
• Assemble a durable planner base (cover, hinge, page order)
• Create sections: calendar, to-do, budget, gifts, menu, memories
• Add interactive elements: pockets, tabs, tags, tip-ins & dashboards
• Use ephemera for fast batching (stickers, labels, tickets, journaling cards)
• Simple layout formulas that stay flat but look layered
• Time-saving print & trim workflow for holiday mass-making

🧰 Supplies I Use (Beginner Friendly):
200–270 gsm cardstock (covers/dashboards) • matte photo paper (pages)
Glue stick + tacky glue, double-sided tape
Paper trimmer, fine scissors/craft knife, ruler, bone folder
Hole punch, corner rounder (optional discs/rings/elastic)
Distress inks (vintage photo/pine), washi, twine, tiny bells (optional)

💡 Why You’ll Love This Project:
A pretty planner that actually works. Track gifts, budget, meals, traditions, and memories in one place—no scattered notes, no last-minute chaos. The retro artwork delivers instant nostalgia while the layouts stay clean, writable, and low-bulk for everyday use or December Daily.

✅ Printing Tips
• Use Photo/Best quality + Actual Size
• Test on plain paper, then print on cardstock / matte photo paper
• Print pattern backs for double-sided pages; seal ink if smudging
• Colors vary by printer, ink, and paper
