I just love everything about the newly formatted weekly kits. They bring me so much delight and excitement when I get a new one!

There was only one thing that stumped me when I was looking through them. The bottom "washi" designed for the Erin Condren is too wide for my Happy planner. I could cut it down but honestly, that seemed too much trouble. I was looking at it then it hit me It would be perfect for the sidebar!

Now if you have a Happy Planner, how I do this is I line the "washi" sticker with to bottom and the right hand edge of the note lines. As you can see this leaves some of the lines showing and bits of the word Notes. If this bothers you well then all you need is a bit of thin washi. 

I chose this smooth glitter effect washi in gold by Amy Tangerine and ran it down both sides. Gold goes so well with this kit in particular... If you don't have a washi thin enough you can always cut some down with a paper trimmer. 

Now there is that seam but it's easy to fix, you can either put decorations over that or, one of your functional stickers like a check list. I use one of the weekly checklist boxes for Mac's menu for the week. Now I have to do the rest of the planning before I can decorate. 

I don't use my side bar for anything most of the time so besides adding a habit tracker down in the bottom for my violin practice, I just decorate it. The cool thing about the decorative hearts in this kit as they can function as two stickers in one.. Here I used the inside to create opaque heart also. I'd love to see how you use the bottom "washi" stickers in your non EC planner!

Hello Hello Everyone!

It’s Juanita! For today’s post I wanted to share with you how I organize my planner stickers. I like to plan out when I am going to use certain weekly kits.  So, to organize my weekly kits, I use my unused Happy Planner.

 I made some pocket pages out of some decorative folders and the Happy Planner punch.

 I then used the monthly tabs from the Happy Planner and start filing away when I want to use my weekly kits.

 I have a pocket for each week in the month and I put each kit in the week I want to use it. Currently I am planned out till October! 

 I really like this system because it ensures that all stickers I want to use for that week can be found in one place. Now, I don’t have to worry that I won’t be able to find my Olympic tv trackers because they are bunking with my Brazil kit.

 For my smaller, functional stickers I like to use this coupon organizer I found at an office supply store.

 I like to organize my smaller stickers by function. Some of my categories include: icons, appointment boxes, decorative stickers, functional decorative stickers (like clean makeup brush reminders) and check boxes/lists.

 I really like using this system for my smaller stickers because its very transportable and it doesn’t take up too much space.

 This system is great for expanding and growing sticker collections but its also great for when your sticker collection is smaller. It really grows and shrinks with your collection. I really like it! I hope you guys found this helpful!

 Happy Crafting!

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share with you how I stretched out one weekly sticker set from PopFizzPaper and made it last 3 weeks! At the same time, you’ll also be able to see how versatile these sets are as I have done a spread in my Happy Planner, Erin Condren Hourly, and on personal sized inserts!

First up is the Happy Planner spread!

I tend to do sticker heavy spreads in my Happy Planner so I used most of the box stickers this week. Since I was using the full box checklists I tried to limit the number of icons I used so that I would have them available for future spreads when my full boxes were gone! The kit comes with 7 meal icons but instead of using them all up in one week I paired 1 meal icon with a weekly box to track our dinners! I also like using the thicker strips of washi layered with an icon if I have run out of appointment labels!

The next week I used my Hourly planner!

I again conserved meal icons by layering one with a weekly box. I also didn’t want to use up all of my small checklist flags in my sidebar so I actually took a couple larger flags and cut them down to allow for 4 small checklists! I used washi strips to mark when my work day began and then actual washi tape going down the page to block off the hours I’m there. Icons are great in an hourly planner but you can use boxes and flags too! Boxes are a great way to block off time you’ll be doing a specific task or activity and if it is going to last a little longer than the size of the box- try turning it sideways as I did Saturday morning working on this blog post ;) That evening I made a checklist for myself using a flag when I had a lot I wanted to get done but in no specific order! This is also helpful if you have used up all of your icons but still want the task to stand out!

The last spread I did from this kit was in my personal-sized planner!

The inserts I use are sized to fit Erin Condren stickers. I searched for this specifically on Etsy because I wanted to make sure all of the stickers I already owned would fit. By this week almost all of my appointment labels were gone but I was able to use leftover washi strips and flags! I love that the flags in this kit have a white center making them very easy to read! They came in handy this week to track bills and paydays when I had run out of the actual bill due and payday stickers! I didn’t have any “To Do” or “Today” headers left but still wanted to make a small checklist each day. Luckily I had some of the thin washi strips left and I used those to section off my checklist from the rest of the day’s plans so that they stood out more!

I hope you enjoyed seeing how I as a white space planner stretch out my sticker sets over a couple weeks while still being able to plan functionally. I love being able to get the most for my money and that is easily achieved with the PopFizzPaper kits because they are so large and chockfull of functional stickers!

Here’s one last look at all of the spreads together! It’s been a month since I got this kit and I’m still so in love with the color combination! Until next time, Happy Planning!

Hey all, Sabrina here! This week I will be sharing with you how to create a laminated checklist dashboard. Don’t worry if you don’t have a laminator there is no need to go out and buy one because I’ve got an easy solution for you.

Supplies needed are:

1- Scotch Self-Seal Laminating Pouches [any other brand works too]

1- Piece of Design Paper

Checklist Stickers

Decorative Stickers

Hole Punch

Dry eraser marker

Let’s start by taking our design paper and cutting it a size that will fit into the planner you are using- this sheet is from the PopFizzPaper May Planner Kit in the floral watercolor design.  I will be creating this dashboard to fit inside The Happy Planner and since my handwriting is on the larger size my dashboard is going to be about 8 in x 10 in almost the same size as a Happy Planner cover. I know it’s not exactly a dashboard size but the sizing is up to you; a good suggested size could be 6 in x 7 in.  

Once the cutting is complete and you’ve got your perfect size next is the fun part- decorating! Time to get creative and personal here by placing down the stickers where you would like them to go. My dashboard will be used as daily to-do list divided into 3 categories of what I would typically do during my day; “to go”, “to do”, and “to clean”. What’s great about this laminated dashboard is that it’s reusable meaning you can create a quick list in the morning of what needs to be done for the day and if you change your mind about something all you have to do it wipe it off the list. It’s not a permanent task for the day so you can do that task tomorrow or even another day of the week.

I love the “I am too busy” sticker from the Fries before Guys Quote collection that was in the June PFP Faves Planner Kit. It makes for the perfect title for my dashboard which is centered at the top of my page and I’ve also added a couple hearts and butterflies next to the wording just to add a little more cuteness. Next I’ve taken a rainbow appointment label and added an icon to the left corner and lined those below the quote sticker spaced about 1.5 in apart from each other. Take your checklists and place them vertically below your appointment labels. It’s up to you how many checklists you want to use and how many categories you’d like to have. You can stop here if you’d like but I’ve went ahead and personalized it a little more. Below those checklists I’ve horizontally placed a habit sticker with an icon sticker, a pill/vitamin sticker, an appointment label with an icon sticker, and a few TV stickers below those. I plan to use the habit sticker for my weekly work outs and the appointment label for my dogs whether it's a reminder to groom, bathe, or to take them to the dog park.

If your dashboard is smaller than 8 in x 10 in then cut the laminated pouch to the correct size before putting the design paper inside. Once you’ve places all your stickers onto your design paper and have cut the pouch to size go ahead and just slip that design sheet right into the self-sealing laminating pouch and seal. Be careful with these laminating sheets you want to carefully seal the pouch without any bubbles so make sure you seal slowly. These Scotch laminated pouches come with instructions on how to use these so read that before beginning. Trim off any excess laminating paper and that’s it- it’s that simple! Feel free to double laminate your dashboard by slipping it into another pouch and repeating this same process if you want a thicker insert.

Lastly, grab your hole punch! If you don’t own a Happy Planner Paper Punch, it’s okay just remove your cover from your planner and place it over the laminating pouch using that as your guide. Use your dry eraser pen and mark your holes, punch a single hole on your marks, and then make slits wide enough depending on the type of rings your planner has.

Fill in your dashboard and put it right into your planner! This is really easy and it doesn’t take too long to create. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial- if you create a checklist dashboard we’d love to see it so make sure you tag @popfizzpaper and myself in the picture on Instagram!

Hello everyone!  It’s Jennifer here with three super quick and easy, yet super cute ideas for planner clips.  I don’t know about you, but I love planner clips.  The more the merrier!  I used the June kit and the June kit add on to make these. 

Supplies: 

• Paper clips
• Hot glue
• Card stock
• Bow (from kit add on)
• Puffy stickers (from kit add on)
• Washi tape
• Scissors
• Felt (optional)

Let’s start with the simplest clip: the bow.  All you have to do is place some hot glue on the back middle portion of the bow and stick it to your paper clip.  I used a jumbo-sized paper clip for this one.  Make sure you are gluing the bow to the correct end of the paper clip - if you glue to the other end, it won’t work.  If you want to be fancy, you can cover up the hot glue with a small bit of felt, but this part is optional.  Easy peasy, right?

Next there is the heart clip.  This is almost just as quick and easy as the bow clip.  I love making planner clips out of puffy stickers, and these heart ones are so adorable!  Since it is a sticker, I start by adhering the sticker to a piece of card stock, then fussy cutting it out.  Now all you have to do is whip out your hot glue gun and glue that sucker, I mean sticker.. ahem, to another paper clip.  Regular sized paper clips work best for this clip.  You can also cover up the hot glue with a small piece of felt if you’d like.  Personally, I don’t take this extra step since the hot glue dries clear.

Finally, there’s the washi flag clip.  I love washi almost as much as I love planner stickers.  The June kit came with a gorgeous gold polka dot washi, and the add on came with a beautiful black and white geometric print washi.  For your clips, tear off a strip of washi that is about 3.5 to 4 inches long.  Next, cut your washi strip in half lengthwise.  Thread one of your cut washi strips through the end of the paper clip.  I used regular sized paper clips for this project as well.  Carefully fold the washi in half and stick the two sticky sides together.  Try to line the edges up the best you can.  Since washi tape is so forgiving to work with, if the edges don’t line up just right the first time, you can easily peel them apart and try again.  Finally, trim the end of the washi to about 1 to 1.5 inches.  If you want to be fancy about it, you can pinch the ends together aand snip the washi on the diagonal to create a flag shape. 

There you have it!  Three crazy simple but cute planner clips!  Besides the full weekly set of stickers, the monthly Popfizzpaper kits are filled with goodies for your whole planner!  If you weren’t able to get one of the June kits, the July kits go on sale on June 1 at 12pm and 6pm Pacific time!  Show me what you’re doing with your Popfizzpaper goodies!  Tag me on Instagram @Paprikaplans or use #popfizzplannerkit!  I’d love to see what you’re creating!

Hi there! Have you all been creating with your June Planner Kits? As soon as I got mine I knew I wanted to make some sassy embellished paperclips with the decorative sticker sheet so I took photos along the way to share with all of you! The great thing about the method I used is that it gives the glossy look of lamination without the cost of a laminator! All it takes is clear packing tape!

Here’s a look at what you’ll need!

You can make these in any shape either freehand or with a paper punch! It’s up to you! It’ll look best if it fits within in the width of your packing tape to avoid any seams so keep that in mind as you are choosing your shape! For my first one I made a simple flag out of the paper from the kit. I layered some of the gold washi and then put down the sticker “Fries before guys” (I think it’s going to be my new life mantra- sorry husband!). Then for added thickness and color contrast I cut another flag slightly larger and glued them together!

Once you are happy with your embellishment it’s time to laminate! Cut 2 pieces of tape larger than the paper and lay one down sticky side up. Place your embellishment in the center and cover with the second piece of tape face down. Firmly seal together and smooth out any air bubbles. Trim the excess tape evenly around the edges to match the shape of your paper!

Now all you have to do is glue the paperclip to the back with your hot glue gun, let it dry, and you have a snazzy embellished paperclip with a laminated look and feel!

Here are a couple other designs I made!

I’m so happy with how these turned out! Embellishing paperclips is such a fun and easy way to get crafty without much effort. I find it to be a great way to unwind after a long day! Plus, they look so cute peeking out of your planner!

If you like embellishing paperclips too I’d love for you to tag me on Instagram so I can see!
