Rainbow Unicorn Kit Travelers Notebook Setup

Up first is the paper bag envelope that I created to hold extra stickers, money or whatever she likes. I simply used the large bag that the kit came in and just cut it down to the size I needed. It’s sealed secure with some velcro and an adorable petite white satin bow. The pocket holding the envelope could also hold extra stickers and journaling cards.

Creating a pen loop binder clip for a planner was a first for me. It’s a pretty simple process using elastic a binder clip and some hot glue. Technically, I had to create one because the multi-color pen I found was too big for a traditional pen holder. But I was super happy with how it turned out!

For a cute pocket idea, I used the plastic bag the die cuts came in to create a “window” for a pocket envelope to hold some words stickers. On the flap of this little envelope I used an adorable silver glitter bow sticker and each corner of the “window” has a faux blue crystal rhinestone.

My favorite page in this travelers notebook is this fun and bright “Hello” intro page. It makes you yearn to go to the beach to create some more memories to document. My thinking with this travelers notebook was that my daughter could use it to journal and do a little memory keeping. So, for each insert I tried to create that introductory page that would inspire her.

Another great planner idea was using clear adhesive pocket stickers to hold a small ruler. When I found these sticker pockets I had no clue what I’d do with them but bought some anyway. Now I’m glad I did because they are the perfect size for a small ruler or even as a pen holder. You can’t really see it in the photo but I used a small circle hole punch to cut out a half U-shape at the top so it was easier to get the ruler out.

The ruler came from Hobby Lobby years ago and sadly I no longer see it in their store. But I’ve linked a similar one above.

One of my favorite things to create for planners are washi dashboards! This particular insert was brown kraft paper and I wanted to cover it with the unicorn washi tape that came in the kit. But, while creating the washi dashboard on the insert cover, I messed up a little; you barely notice and I made that the backside of the book insert. Luckily, these inserts are plain and I could easily flip it over!

Just look at that white rainbow glitter washi tape! It reminded me of glittering sand at the beach on a hot sunny day.

How appropriate is it that the die cut inspiration card I used reads “Break the Rules”! Plus I’m a bit obsessed with my decorative corner paper punch. I used that to add a little something extra to what was a straight edge card.

On the back inside cover of the travelers notebook it was plain. So I added an adorable yellow bow print adhesive pocket to hold some unicorn stickers. I love how the yellow pocket matches the yellow flower from the paper kit.

This travelers notebook top view includes a unicorn paperclip from the kit, a blue yarn pom clip, an ice cream paperclip and a sparkling silver netting paperclip puff that I created. A girls’ gotta have cute page markers, right?!

The last finishing touch to any custom travelers notebook would be an equally adorable planner pouch! This custom handmade planner pouch was created by Naptime Craze Designs over on Etsy. She was wonderful to work with and made sure to get all the measurements she needed to create the perfect pouch for me.

The material she chose really picks up the turquoise planner color perfectly too! Now this travelers notebook will be protected when in my daughter’s purse or book bag.
