Using planner printables is a great way to change things up in your journal. Check out our list of 14 ways to use printables in your journal.
Quick Navigation:
Daily/Weekly/Monthly Spreads
In an ideal world, it’s fab to be able to sit down and create your monthly, weekly or daily journal spreads by hand. Personalising to suit your needs is the fun of journaling.
There are however, some times where this just isn’t possible. Ironically, it is when life gets really busy that your journal is most needed!
1. Undated Printables
Our monthly, weekly and daily printables are undated so can be used again and again! Add doodles, colour, or Washi tape to match your printables to your theme.
Take a look at all of our journal spread printables here!
2. Dated Printables
Date specific printables, like these included with any of our monthly subscriptions, go one step further to creating a quick journal set up!
Make it yours…
Add doodles, colour, or Washi tape to help your printables blend into your journal and match your theme.
Patterned Paper
Did you know we have over 120 different patterned paper printables in our webshop?
3. Scrapbook style decoration
Using patterned paper to decorate your journal spreads is a super quick way to add decoration.
Make a feature of the torn edge, or cut into block shapes.
Featured: Take a Break Printables and Sticker Kit.
4. Blocks of colour
Printable papers don’t always have to have crazy patterns. Some of our most popular printables are our colour co-ordinating dot-grid paper or paint effect downloads.
Use them in place of colouring by pen or pencil, or layer (as in the photo shown) to create depth.
Featured: Into The Wild Subscription Box.
5. Decorative Pockets
Tiny pockets can make the cutest addition to a journal spread. Use them to house notes and pictures or just as decoration.
Check out our “Smile File” tutorial here.
Featured: Pocket Full of Sunshine Subscription Box
6. Functional Pockets
Larger functional pockets can be super useful in your journal.
In this example we have created a pocket to house a calendar postcard.
Featured: Royal pattern printables and Washi tape.
7. Headers
Use patterned printables with our extra large fonts to create a really impactful header!
TOP TIP:
Flip the stencil and trace the letter onto the reverse side of the patterened paper to hide any evidence of pen/pencil marks when you add into your spread.

8. Page Tabs
Use patterned paper to add co-ordinating page tabs to any journal spread!
We included this fab page tab stencil with our Marrakesh Subsription box… Drop us a comment below if you’d like to see us added to our permanent collection.

Functional Trackers
9. Annual Trackers
An annual tracker like the one shown can be used for tracking mood, habits, weather, and health stats!
TOP TIP:
Add the tracker to your journal using Washi tape so that you can release the tape and move to your next journal rather than setting the whole thing up again!

10. Monthly Habit Tracker
Our printable monthly habit trackers make quick work of journal set up!
Featured: Undated “Monthly Habit Tracker” and “October Circular Tracker” (exclusive to our monthly subscribers).
11. Miscellaneous Trackers
We have created a whole range of trackers to use for tracking sleep, gratitude and monthly tasks.

13. Bingo Spreads
Our Bingo spreads are so much fun! Choose from a pre-filled or blank version, add colour and enjoy!
14. Cover Pages
Using a pre-drawn design is a great shortcut to a super cute cover page. Plus you get to spend some mindful time adding colour… Win-win!

Yes please, I have wanted that tab stencil for making my own tabs since I found oops a Daisy in December 2022!
When it said 14 I thought how on earth could you possibly use those printables in so many ways, but I’ve used every single one of them 😂 thank you!
Yes I’ve been looking for a tab stencil so it would be great if it was added as a permanent item
