C&P hack for the OG’s
If you’re an OG Cloth&Paper subscriber then you’ll remember the pen subscription. I’m using the penspiration pen test cards as dashboards for my #cpp until I build up my collection, since I’m new to the CP petite size.
Though I’d share this hack, since we’re always trying to find ways to use all the items we receive in the sub boxes.
As someone who’s also into journaling and planning with Cloth & Paper products, I’ve found using pen test cards as dashboards to be a game-changer. The pen test cards, like those from Penspiration, are compact, colorful, and perfect for adding a quick visual reference in your planner. Since these cards are designed to showcase pen ink colors and behaviors, they bring a nice aesthetic appeal while serving a practical purpose. One hack I’d recommend is organizing these pen test cards by theme or color palette on a dedicated dashboard page. This not only helps with visual inspiration when choosing pens but also keeps your planner lively and personalized. Because the CP petite size is smaller, using these cards helps fill in space smartly without bulk. I also suggest laminating or using clear adhesive sleeves if you want to protect these cards from wear over time. Another idea is to combine these dash cards with washi tape swatches or sticker samples to create an interactive planner dashboard that sparks creativity each time you open it. This approach is a great way to repurpose every bit of your subscription boxes, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Plus, the texture and color variety you add can brighten up your planner pages on dreary days and keep your planning routine fresh and exciting.
