Golds, Greens, and Pineapples, Oh My!

My most favorite fruit in the whole wide world is pineapple! I love pineapple.

Frozen, dried, freshly cored, or in a can, I am down. I am one of those people that likes pineapple on pizza…even on hot dogs!

So, it’s no surprise when I include them in a bullet journal.

This is how I created July’s Calendar –

First, I blocked off a portion of the bullet journal because I didn’t want the stamp to appear any further then the marked area.

Then, I used this magic emboss powder bag to help remove static and keep the unwanted powder at bay.

Next, I stamped the left and right sides of the bullet journal with a pineapple stamp. I bought the stamp at Michael’s for $1.00 (this stamp is similar). Unlike your basic ink pad, this ink pad that I use is sticky and has a prolonged drying period, perfect for adhering embossing powders.

After I finished stamping the pineapple, I sprinkled gold embossing powder (Princess Gold) over the top.

Next, I melted the powder with a heat gun (similar).

To draw out the calendar I used my bullet journal sized ruler and the olive green pen from this set.

I really wanted to stick to a green and gold theme, so I wrote the word July with an olive green brush pen and added a bit of gold with this pen.

Last, a calendar isn’t a calendar without the days of the week listed on it, so I used these rubber stamps and stamp block for that. I really wanted a green ink that would match the rest of the page, so instead of using a traditional ink pad, I used a green brush pen as an ink pad by coloring in the stamp. It matched perfectly.
