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!

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!

Happy Fall Everyone! Well at least if you’re on this side of the world. To everyone else I guess I should say Happy… Spring? ;) Fall is my favorite time of year! Everything about it makes me happy- I love the crisp cool air, the bright colorful leaves, decorating with pumpkins, wearing big scarves, and drinking hot chocolate. It’s just the best. I wanted to add some festive décor around my computer desk that could stay up through Thanksgiving and I did just that using supplies from the November PopFizzPaper Planner Kit!
Here’s what I used:

The adhesive wood stickers came from the Target Dollar Spot. I decided on the size of my flags based on the size of the letters I was using to spell out Thankful. Each flag measured 3 inches across. After the flags were cut I alternated washi at the top of each one to help reinforce the holes I’d be making. Using my 1/8” hole punch I made 2 holes on each flag in order to string them together.

I also picked out a few of the feather die cuts from the kit and hole punched those as well. Then using gold metallic cord (also from the Dollar Spot) I strung them all together! Make sure you have your pieces in order before you get started- there’s nothing worse than getting half way through, realizing you have a letter in the wrong spot, and having to take everything off and start over!

And voila! It is literally that easy. Banners like this are a great way to decorate without having to invest a ton of money into each season or holiday. This was inexpensive but the bright colors from the kit pack a big punch making a significant impact on an otherwise neutral space!

I hope you enjoyed this fun tutorial and I hope you’re all loving your planner kits for November! The colors had me ooing and ahhing all over the place. There were a lot of fun surprises in the add-on kit too. I can’t wait to see what is in store next month! Don’t forget to post photos in the Facebook group “PopFizzPaper Fans” of how you’re using this month’s kit! Thanks for stopping by!

Today’s blog is all about using stickers on your hourly inserts for your personal planner(s). Personal planner inserts in my opinion are really small pages so you can’t write big or have too large of stickers on it because it’ll take up a vast majority of your space which will look cluttered. What allows me to be able to use stickers on such a small space is using mini stickers along with a few regular sized functional stickers. I don’t use full boxes and only half boxes when I have something important and I have the space for it. Using hourly inserts you have consider what will fit and what you need to use for that specific day because you're scheduling your day by the hour.

First, go through your collection and grab all  your minis and functional stickers. I know I took out a lot of stickers in the above photo and I may not use them all but for me it’s convenient to have them all out anyways so I’m not having to go back and forth in my collection trying to find stickers. Now that you have your stickers all out it’s time for the FUN part … can you guess what that is? Decorating time!  

Placement is key; it’s very important that you look you at your sheet and decided first what you’re doing for that day and grab those functional stickers first before anything else. So in my planner I like to have a horizontal “This Week” insert on my left side and my right side have my hourly sheet. You’re probably looking at my photo thinking “Girl, I thought this was a post about hourly planning.” It is … I promise! I do this for extra space and because I like to see what else I have going on during the week. Plus, my hourly sheet stops at 9:30 PM [like most do] which is early for me because I’m a night owl and I don’t go to sleep until really late in the AM so I need an extra sheet so I can write down what other things I have to do later in the evening. You can even place a lined paper or graph paper on the left side if you want or just have your hourly insert it’s totally up to you and your planning style.

On a typical work day my schedule may look something like the photo above. Early mornings for work I need a “wake me up” sticker so this PopFizzPaper “Treat Yourself” mug will always be the first sticker to start my day. Next to it I'll add what I'm doing while I'm having my morning drink. I use a header sticker to block out the times I’ll be working so in this example it’s from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm; yay for short days! If your schedule is longer stick another header right below the one you just laid down. I put my header to the far right because that day I have a meeting so I need the space to write in next to the time it’s happening. If there is no meeting or nothing else important that needs to be submitted or attended, I’ll then add the header down the middle. I continued plugging in more stickers next to the times that I need to do something until I got to the bottom. Check it out even label stickers fit on either column; awesome right! I love those labels with the boots on them to mark for when I go rock climbing or even just to take my dogs to the dog park. On the left side column on the top; I use stickers to remind me of things I NEED “To Do” like using the “Hair Appt” to remind me to make an appointment and on the bottom half I like to add a fun journal prompt question [in the middle] and try to find a sticker that matches my answer just for fun. As well as things that I NEED to do later that evening after 9:30 PM like using that dollar sign to remind me to pay a bill and that “change air filter”. On my horizontal “This Week” sheet I add whatever else doesn’t fit on my hourly sheet basically anything else after 9:30 PM that I want or need to do like using that bath tub sticker and TV sticker. 

Now that I have all my stickers down I’m able to go in and write things down. The reason I don’t write things down before I place my stickers is in case I decided I need to swap a sticker around or I just change my mind and I don’t want a particular sticker it’s easier to remove a sticker and replace it with another one or remove it all together than it is to correct your writing mistakes. You don’t want a bunch of white-out on your paper, do you? I know I don’t. The above photo I placed all my stickers down and I filled it all in. I’m all done planning just need to stick these inserts back into my planner.

See you can do this too to your personal sized hourly inserts! So, get to planning and once you’re finished we want to see how cute your page came out so make sure you show us by tagging PopFizzPaper on Instagram and come post it on the PopFizzPaper Fans Facebook group so we can all heart it.     

For this school year I got an Erin Condren Teacher Planner and I was so excited. Once I got it I quickly realized I had no idea how I was going to plan in my new planner. I had to completely forget about even trying to planner decorate until I could figure out how to plan. The following are my teaching stats you need to know to understand how I use my planner.

High School Teacher

6 classes of one prep (one type of class, Health)

Two conference periods

Sponsor of a club

Teach on an A Day/B Day block schedule

After I figured out how to plan my days I began experimenting with washi and then it was time to take on STICKERS! Which stickers did I have to use first? Of course Pop Fizz Paper

The first thing I need to do is block off the days under each section. I plan one side of my planner with my A day classes and the other side with my B day classes. So the first thing to do was to figure out how I was going to block out the days I did not need. I chose to re purpose the washi strips and the decor to use as block outs.

I used the checklist flags for all of my actual classes so I can make my lesson plans in a bullet point format. I then used the small checklist flags to mark the club I sponsor and my to do lists for club activities.

Overall the pop fizz paper stickers are amazing for this planner because I have so many options on how I need to plan depending on my lesson plans for the week. One of my favorite stickers to use are the 3 heart check boxes I wish I had more of those. I could use those all over the place in this planner

This is the thing I love about Pop Fizz Paper stickers they can be used with any planner and you don’t even need a planner of a specific size to use them because they look great in EVERY planner. If you want the stickers to fit perfect in the boxes they won’t do that because my stickers are made for the ECLP vertical but that does not matter because they look great. I think the sizing is pretty darn close and with the colors already on the page of the ECTP the stickers go great with it.

I plan to use Pop Fizz Paper stickers and Washi for almost every week in my ECTP!

Do you use a teacher planner? Have you tried Pop Fizz in it? Do it! It will make your lessons much more fun.

As a few of you may know I'm a trained Makeup Artist and work freelance directly with clients. You also probably know I'm obsessed with my traveler's notebooks. I'm currently in the pretty Lyra and Co one but I also have leather Foxy Fix. I'm starting to hit spring down here, and thus my busy wedding season coming up. One thing that was clear to me was I needed an notebook dedicated to meeting with my clients. So I gathered up supplies from the stunning Beauty Babe kit.

Soon as I saw this kit I knew I needed to do something for my Makeup work. Its palette is soft and gentle for my clients but not so soft as to feel unlike me. My first thing was to cover the kraft brown cover.

This X's and O's paper was just the perfect choice. It was not too busy yet had a fun design, it would also look good to my mostly bridal clients. I wanted to add some visual interest so I added the cutoff strip flipped to show the blush rose pattern along the top third of the cover. Next all I needed was one of the sticky notes which made a great title plate. I had one set of the gold glitter X and O stickers from the decorative sheet of the kit and they finished the cover. 

Now for the insides I started with the first page. Using the left over bottom washi from the kit I cut it into a large page flag and added another decorative sticker. Real simple. This is the perfect page for me to jot down products that clients have specifically requested. This way it's easy for me to flip to and find what I need to order. 

Next was to work on the Index page. I started with some bottom decoration, several layered strips of paper in a neat design to draw your attention. Then my favourite sticker in the entire set, simple yet perfect statement. 

That done I wanted to highlight the very top left page with the word Index. Using two washi strips from the left overs of a kit leaving a space in the center for my title added some visual interest. I just had, HAD, to use this washi. So that completed the page. 

All I had left to do now was put it in my Traveler's Notebook and head off to meet with clients. How are you using your papers? Feel free to tag either @brooklynne_michelle or @popfizzpaper on Instagram  to show me, or pop over to our facebook group and join the fun. 

Hello all!  It’s Jennifer again, and this week I want to share with y’all how I made this cute makeup brush cup with the October Popfizzpaper kit papers and stickers!  

For this craft, you will need:

• Popfizzpaper kit papers
• Container to decoupage (I upcycled a travel sized chip canister)
• ModPodge (or similar... I hear a 1:1 ratio of Elmer’s glue and water works, but I have not tried this)
• Scissors or paper trimmer
• Popfizzpaper stickers
• Foam brush
• Newspaper to cover your work area (this gets messy!)
• Brayer (optional)

For this craft, I decided to use an empty travel sized chip canister and it’s the perfect size to corral my makeup brushes and other essentials!  I just made sure the canister was clean before I started.  The first step is cutting your paper down to size.  I wrapped the paper around the canister and marked where I needed to cut lightly with a pencil.  I made sure to have a slight overlap wrapping the paper around the canister to ensure complete coverage.  Repeat this process for the length of the paper, but this time you do not want any overlap.

Get your foam brush and apply an even layer of ModPodge to the reverse side of your paper.  Carefully apply the paper to the canister.  Paper tends to get wrinkly when it’s wet, so you can use the brayer to carefully smooth any wrinkles.  Once the paper was glued onto the canister, I added some decorative Popfizzpaper stickers! 

Adding ModPodge over top of the paper and stickers will make the finished makeup cup more durable.  One word of warning though: the color from the Popfizzpaper stickers (or any inkjet printed stickers) will bleed unless you carefully dab the ModPodge over the stickered areas.  If you simply brush the glue over stickers, they WILL bleed.  You also run the risk of the sticker paper tearing if you brush the stickers.  I achieved the best results from dabbing glue over the sticker, then wiping any discoloration that ended up on the foam brush off on some newspaper. 

Once you have applied one layer of ModPodge to your cup, let it dry.  The glue will dry clear.  I applied one more coat of ModPodge after this.  You do not have to be as careful applying the glue during the second coat because the first coat sealed the stickers.  Now you can focus on nice even brush strokes.  Once that dries, go ahead and fill it up with your makeup brushes or pencils!
