Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer again, and today I’m going to share how I store all my leftover kit stickers!  Without good organization, sticker leftovers can get overwhelming.  Either you’ll spend a ton of time looking for the sticker you want, or you’ll forget about them entirely and waste your money.  Popfizzpaper kits have such an awesome selection of stickers that even if you’re a no-white-space planner, you’ll still have leftover stickers!  When I started planning, I used to take the leftover kit stickers and paperclip the kit together and shove the whole kit into a plastic pencil case.  Where they’d sit.  Unused. What a waste of super cute stickers!!  Then one day, when I was at Michaels, I saw plastic greeting card storage box, and this storage system was the result!

First, I went through my kit leftovers and decided what categories I wanted to sort them into.  Then, I made folders! I thought folders would be better suited for this type of sticker storage than simple dividers.  I had seen people using dividers to file their stickers in a photo storage box, but cutting up kit leftovers results in pretty little sticker pieces, and I was afraid they would get lost and unused with dividers.

To make the folders, I simply used a sheet of letter-sized cardstock folded in half.  For the tabs, I used the Popfizzpaper tab stickers.  They’re PERFECT for this project!  I made a tab for all the types of stickers I wanted to file: half boxes, icons, headers, etc. 

Now, all I have to do is cut the sheets apart at the end of the week and file the stickers away in their own little folder!  So now the next time I need a purple habit tracker to pull the whole week together, I know exactly where to look instead of having to go through all my leftovers by kit until I come across the right sticker! 

How do you store your kit leftovers?  I’d love to see!  Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or share your ideas in our Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!  Happy Planning!

Hey everyone, Sabrina here! How many of you are horizontal planners? And, how many of you are like me and have wondered if vertical stickers fit into the horizontal planners? Raise those hands up high. Well, guess what... they do indeed fit with just a little tweaking. Today’s blog, I am showing you all how you can use a vertical weekly kit in a horizontal planner!

Let’s get planning! All you need for this is a fresh week, any vertical weekly kit of your choice, a pen and of course your planner! If you are planning with Erin Condren sheets in a Kikki.K like myself, you’ll need a hole punch to just re-punch those holes you covered up with a sticker.

I am planning ahead and using the Merry and Bright full weekly kit from PopFizzPaper for the end of November/ early December. The blue and green colors in the Erin Condren colored horizontal didn’t match with this kit’s colors so I am going to be using a week from October and turning it into a different month by covering the month and dates with stickers to use it for any week I want. Then I did the left side by adding date covers and dates, a quote to the top left, a November month of the year sticker, and a decorative sticker.

I went ahead and finished covering up my October with another quote, added a December monthly sticker, and used the rest of my date covers and dates. I then placed all my decorative full boxes to the right side. I liked using the entire sticker even if it did overlap a bit but you can totally trim the top and bottom of to fit that space more precise. I got my weekend sticker down, added my payday and bill dues, another quote, and a weekly full box to the bottom notes section. As you can see, everything is fitting nicely for being a vertical kit in a horizontal layout.

Now that I kind of got the hang of placement and the imagery in my mind of where I plan to place the rest of my stickers I went ahead and just had some fun placing everything down. For me the middle section is for all my to-do’s, the right side on the decorative full boxes is for my work schedule/ anything important that has a deadline, and the left side is more to-do’s or things that I would like to do that day.

That’s it! I think it turned out super cute I cannot wait until the end of November to finish filling in this week. This kit is a perfect transition into the next holiday season. Whether you try out using a vertical kit in a horizontal spread or you use one of PopFizzPaper’s new horizontal kits we want to see it! Come share it with us over at the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group or tag @PopFizzPaper on Instagram!

As Pop Fizz Paper is making some changes and discontinuing the planner kit something even more exciting is in the works I can feel it.

Beginning in November you can get a limited edition 8 sheet kit that will include a matching washi! This limited edition kit will be awesome because you will know what you are getting and if you love the way the kits are made you will love the new kits.

With that thought in mind I wanted to share with you my top 5 favorite stickers from a pop fizz paper weekly kit. We all use stickers differently but sometimes hearing how someone else does it can inspire your creative juices. So let's jump right in!

1. Checklist flags 

a. I have always been more of a fan of a checklist flag rather than a full checklist box.
b. I love the designs on the flags and that they are not just solid colors
c. I use these specifically to track my to dos for the day for my general life I like more of a white space look for these
d. Checklist flags give a very open feeling that I love

 

2. Half box checklist 

a. These are my favorite way to track short things for certain tasks for example like a short cleaning list, specific things for a podcast
b. I can put a header on top of these or thin washi with whatever label I want
c. It allows me to pair them with my next favorite sticker

 

3. Half boxes with flags 

a. I love these for tracking a big event and then using the above sticker for tasks I need to do with the highlighted event
b. I also like to use these to highlight big major things for my family or for my school job
c. The flags let me write in them or use an icon if I want to

4. Open flag labels 

a. These are by far my favorite label because they are so white space. I love the look and feel and I can use them to highlight an event or I can use them to tell me to take some time off
b. The design and width are perfect and can really be used for anything you can even use them vertically

 

5. Washi strips

a. I absolutely love the washi strips! They are great for adding some decor
b. I use them a lot to cover up a header
c. My biggest use is during the weekend to make the weekend standout without having to use a full box

Hey PopFizz Fanatics, today I'm showing you a recent Project Life spread I did using the Colors of the Wind kit. I have been so slack with doing project life lately but really wanted to get this big moment recorded. So I started with pulling out all the supplies needed.

• Colors of The Wind Papers
• Washi
• Tombow tape runner
• Colors of the Wind sticky notes
• Colors of the Wind diecut feathers
• Canon Selphy Printer
• Various Ephemera 

First thing to do was print off my photos, I knew from a journal lay out I wanted the main picture to be tight crop of me so I needed to print out the photo full size and cut it down, so I printed one picture 3X4 and the other 4X6. Afte rthat I needed to choose a layout type and trim down the papers.

I went with what is probably my favorite layout, the 2 3X4 over one 4X6 spread. I was really enjoying the oranges and the contrast with the purples and greens in this kit so chose papers that played with that.

Now onto my first card. I wanted to start with that nice big orange watercolor card. I knew I wanted the front facing photo there but wasn't sure what else to do there, then I remembered these cute silver glitter instax style frames I got from Freckled Fawn, the rest kind of just flowed from there. The gold foil washi from the kit was just perfect for this. Also the feather die cuts really pulled the whole look together. 

Next was the top right card, the water colour with white feather outline. This was for my other photo and I just really kinda smashed things on it. This black and white striped washi was key to this page, helping pick up the referee motif in the pictures. These gold foil puffy hearts came in a previous PFP kit and I use them way more than I ever thought I would. I really like how this card looks. 

Now for the final card, the one for the journaling. I knew when I started out with this Project Life spread that all the cards were busy. That's why I got out the sticky notes, they made a simple and perfect journaling spot that fit so well into the cards. I then dug through my big box of alpha stickers and pulled together these two for the title. After a few touches of gold and some journaling it was done. 

Now to put them all together in the pockets of the lay out. Now you'll notice some changes to each of the cards. This always happens. I'm looking at the spread and noticing things like that the bottom card is completely devoid of green so a few puffy stickers and it feels more balanced. I found this phrase sticker for the top card which I liked and added a bit more white which I felt was needed. and finally I remembered the little feather charm which was a perfect addition to the bottom of the journal card. 

Thank you for joining me on this spread, and I hope you enjoyed it. Do you do project life? how have you used PFP stuff in your spreads? Tag me in your posts on Instagram @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper ! Also join us all on our facebook group PopFizzPaper Fans.

Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer here with a super quick, super functional personal sized dashboard folder for your planner!  For this project, you will need:

The heavy cardstock contents sheet from your Popfizzpaper kit

• Hole punch
• Ruler
• Scoring tool
• Paper trimmer
• Washi
• Sticky notes
• Deco stickers from Colors of the Wind kit

Let’s get started!  The contents sheet is not quite long enough to be a full sized dashboard turned on its side (landscape), but it is very close and it will accommodate all six punches in a personal sized planner.  Trim the length of the contents sheet to 7.5 inches.  Next, holding the contents sheet with the long edge towards you, measure and score a line 3.75 inches in, and fold carefully along that line.  This will be the outside spine of your folder. 

Unfold the contents sheet and cut a line about half way down the fold.  Next, you will need to decide which side you would like your folder on.  I chose to have my folder on the referse side of the dashboard, so I cut out the upper right quadrant of the paper.

Next, I used the Popfizzpaper kit washi tape to cover up the text on the inside of my folder that would show.  I also used a strip of washi tape at the bottom of the folder and folded the washi to stick to the other side to close the folder.

 I used a quote sticker from the deco sheet from the kit on the folder side and put it in my personal sized planner.  It’s perfect for storing business cards, receipts, coupons... or who am I kidding?  more stickers.

 We’re not done with this dashboard yet!  I mounted the Popfizzpaper kit sticky notes to the other side!  I also decorated it with a quote sticker from the deco sticker sheet.  How cute is that?!

Sticky notes and a pocket! Could a dashboard possibly be any more functional... or adorable?!  This kit is perfect for fall!  If you missed out on this kit, some of the pieces will be available in the shop for a limited time.  What’s your favorite thing you’ve made with the contents sheet in your Popfizzpaper kit? I’d love to see!  Tag me on Instagram @paprikaplans or post it in the Popfizzpaper Fans Facebook group!

One of the first crafts I ever did and mailed out was a pocket letter. After creating my first one, I was instantly hooked. I absolutely love pocket letters; to create them and to send them! So today's blog I am going to be showing you all how I create a pocket letter using the November "Colors of the Wind" Planner Kit from PopFizzPaper.

Let's just jump right into this fun activity! Below are materials that you are going to need for a full 9-pocket letter.

1-3 sheets- cardstock or design paper

1- 8.5 x 11 postbound or 3-ring album pocket protector sheet [I use The Paper Studio]

scissors, pen, glue or adhesive tape, ruler or a pre-cut pocket letter square measuring 2.5 x 3.5

Decor: stickers, sticky notes, sequins, empheria [cut outs], washi tape, etc. [Whatever you want to put into your pocket letter]

What I do first is I cut out all 9 of my squares; I used the PopFizzPaper "Colors of the Wind" design sheets. Either grab your pre-cut pocket letter square that measures 2.5 x 3.5 and trace that square over your design paper OR if you don't have a pre-cut square use your ruler to measure 2.5 x 3.5 and do that 9 times on your papers so that you end up with 9 squares.

Tip: I always put the squares into the pocket protector sleeve before I go onto the next step to make sure that it fits properly and that I didn't cut the sides too short or in case it doesn't fit and needs be trimmed down. I also use this as a pre-planning method to be able to see where I want each square to go and what I plan to do for that specific pocket.

Now the FUN and also my favorite part... Decorating! Choose your theme: I obviously went with the nature / travel theme. I love shaker pockets; I think that they are so fun and super cute. So I always start with my center pocket and 99% of the time I create a shaker pocket. I basically just threw in some sequins that matched with my card for that pocket and took a piece of washi tape to seal the top part so that no sequins would fall out. Once that was done, I start from the top left corner and work my way to the right and then onto the next row until I get to the bottom. I also really like simple yet detailed decorating but feel free to get as creative as you like.

Pocket Details:

First pocket; I added onto my gold square a PopFizzPaper sticky note as my background and PFP watercolor washi along the left side with an puffy heart sticker, a globe cut out, and an arrow cut out.

Second pocket; I cut a piece of arrow design paper to create a pocket that I filled with PopFizzPaper deco stickers and feather cut outs and at the top added a "Happiness" cut out.

Third pocket; is a movitational pocket with "Follow YOUR Arrow" using gold glitter alpha letters, a gold puffy heart sticker, arrow cut out, and PopFizzPaper feather stickers.

Fourth pocket; I added a piece of blue glitter washi to the bottom and a "and, we're off!" sticker ontop of the washi, a sun sticker and an airplane cut out.

Fifth pocket; is my shaker pocket.

Sixth pocket; is my hello pocket with a gift tag, a "hi" corkboard sticker, a PopFizzPaper feather and it's all in a little pocket that I made using a piece of design paper.

Seventh pocket; is another motivational pocket with a gold puffy heart sticker, PopFizzPaper feather stickers, puffy arrow stickers, and "Faith, Hope, Love" in gold glitter alpha stickers.

Eighth pocket; I did a washi banner at the top of the square, a piece of gold glitter washi at the bottom and with PopFizzPaper feather stickers ontop and in the middle a PFP "Colors of the Wind" sticker.

Ninth and final pocket; I did the same idea as the first pocket where I stuck a sticky note down as my background, a washi strip on the left side of the pocket, a gold puffy heart sticker, a PopFizzPaper quote sticker from the "Colors of the Wind" kit, and a cork arrow sticker that I added gold feather washi onto the bottom on the arrow for a little more dimension.

Lastly, I went through my collection to see if I may have missed any items that I wanted to have in this pocket letter and just stuck those last minute items in the pockets. And, that's it! It's not a hard craft at all. I absolutely love how this pocket letter turned out and I hope you do too!

Now you know how to create a pocket letter if you didn't already. And, if you do create one we want to see it! So, make sure you tag @popfizzpaper both on Instagram and on our Facebook group- PopFizzPaper Fans!

I am so excited to show you ladies the new Monthly Kit from Pop Fizz Paper. Instead of my usual just written post I did an extensive plan with me video so you can see just how awesome these kits are! Let’s jump right in.

As I gathered my supplies here is what I used to do this plan with me and to get my month of November ready to go!



I absolutely love planning out my month it is one of my favorite things to do. Here are my Steps that I go through when I plan out my month.

Step 1: Pre plan with sticky notes I use 1 sticky note per type of thing for example I have 1 sticky note for each category (movie releases, podcast record dates, blog post dates, school/important dates, birthdays)

Step 2: I always start with my header stickers

Step 3: Next I cover up the dates not in the month I am currently working with

Step 4: Side bar time!

Step 5: I just start working through the sticky notes one at a time picking which labels or stickers I want to use as I go

Step 6: Once I am done working through my sticky notes then I go back and lay down my date dots!

To see all of this in action watch my super overly detailed video below!


After all was said and done here is the finished product before the pen and after the pen. I used the Purple Ink Joy Gel that came with the Pop Fizz Paper planner kit.




I used pretty much everything from the kit there was just a few random things left but I bet I could find a way to use all of them! Here is what was left.



I can not wait to use these kits every month and I am so glad these came out now. Currently the kits are only made for the Erin Condren but soon they will be available for Happy Planners and I can not wait since I am making the switch for next year!

Do you plan your months? Then it is time to try these brand new amazing kits!
