Gilder Creek Elements
Punctuation for your planner.
These are built to be useful, not just pretty. Every piece is drawn from the Daybook's own design system: the same type, the same rules, the same themes, so nothing you add ever clashes with the page it's placed on.

A 20-piece starter comes free with every planner, so you can try them before buying the full set.
Beautiful sticker packs exist already.
Some of them are genuinely well done: illustrated characters, seasonal collections, real design talent behind them. I can't compete on volume or variety, and I'm not trying to. What Elements do is a few specific jobs: say something in less space than a word takes, bring emphasis without breaking your theme's palette, and add structure to the one day that needs it, without turning every page into a form. That's why there are 194 pieces, not 2,000, and why every one is drawn in your theme's own palette, so nothing you add ever looks stuck on.
- Need to flag something urgent? There's a mark for that.
- No room to spell out "Call" or "Email"? An icon says it in less space.
- Tracking water or habits for a week? There's a card that just wants a circle filled in, not a paragraph.
- Plane, train, and car are all there.
They're an add-on, not a requirement. Skip them if plain pages suit you. Add them if you'd rather point than write.
Pills
Write it yourself.
A word list can't cover every word you'd want to write, so these don't come with one. Blank pills come in three widths and three styles: solid, outlined, or a quiet rule, plus a small chip sized for jotting down a time. You write the word yourself, in your own handwriting.
Shown in Sage Paper. Every piece exists in all six themes.
Functional marks
Marks and checkboxes
Checkboxes, status rings, and arrows, drawn clean and the same way every time, no freehand needed.
Icons and glyphs
Icons for everyday things: time, coffee, travel, money, health, home, hobbies, and more. Weather pieces too, from full sun to fog to a rainbow. Plus stars, an asterisk, marks for emphasis, a ring to circle a date, and a few caution and highlight badges, in both quiet and bold, for when you need them to stand out.
Cards, tape and flags
Cards for the day's numbered list, appointments, check-ins, meds, spending, and weather. Your layout might not have a slot for one of these, or you might only want it some days, not every day: add the card just when you need it. Washi strips and highlight swipes let the page show through underneath. Page flags and tags come in your planner's own colors.
Every piece, every theme
Does it come in my color?
Yes. All 194 pieces are drawn in all six themes, and the themes are quiet enough to sit together: a Rose Clay heart on a Dusty Blue page still can't clash.
Every piece
All 194, named
The pieces above are just a sample. This is the legend card: the whole collection in one image, every mark, icon, flag, card, and ornament, plus blank pills in three sizes and three styles each for anything a word list can't cover. Every theme comes with its own legend card, right in the pack.
How you get them
Two downloads. One is built for GoodNotes: open each collection file to bring it in, and every piece arrives at its true page size. The other is the same pieces as pre-cropped transparent PNGs for Notability and any other annotation app. Take the one you need, or both.
- 11 collections per theme, sorted the way you actually reach for them
- A legend card per theme, so you can see the whole collection at once
- Made for the Daybook, quiet enough for any planner
Digital download. Nothing ships. Personal use.
Try before you buy
