Hi friends- it’s Brittany here! Today I am coming at you with a pocket letter made from the June PopFizzPaper Planner Kit and I couldn’t be more excited about this one. I had a blast putting it together and I hope you enjoy taking a look!

The colors of this kit are so pretty- I love how the gold pops against the black, pink, and white! I used the papers from the kit, made the sassy quotes the focal point of almost every pocket, and accented with the 2 washi tapes! I ended up pulling very few embellishments from my stash.

Here is the top row! My favorite card is the one with the pull tab! Stay tuned to the end and I’ll show you what’s inside!

I’m torn between which pocket I like the best in the middle row. I’ve always had a weakness for shaker pockets but I can’t get over the fun PopFizzPaper emoji stickers paired with the “too sassy for you” quote.

Along the bottom row I’m sharing one of the paperclips I embellished in my last post. I also did another pull tab and put together a washi card with samples of the tapes I used in this project.

I decided to try something new and make pull tabs to reveal little hidden embellishments! In the pocket with my letter I added this adorable little critter and some alphas that say “Hi” so that when you pull the tab a little friend pops up! I washi taped the top just enough for the tab to fit through but stop the whole thing from coming out!

In the other I spelled out “You are” and when you pull the tab it reveals a sticker from the kit which says “totes my fave”

Pocket letters are what re-introduced me into the world of papercrafting (I was a bit of a scrapbooker as a child) and they will always be my first love!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Hey, Sabrina here! Have any of you heard of a Squash book? Well if you haven’t keep reading this post and I’ll be showing and explaining how to make one. Like many of you I like to watch random craft videos on YouTube and I came across a Squash book. I thought to myself “Wow, that’s cool it kind of reminds me of a flip book” but more accordion you can squish together.

Let’s get into to how to make one of these …

First, gather all your supplies! I have already precut all my papers to size and gathered everything I plan on using which you can see in the photo below.

Materials needed:

Paper cutter or scissors

Pencil

Double sided tape, glue stick or adhesive tape [any of the three will work]

3- cardboard or thick paper 8 in x 8 in [Square shaped]

2- Design Paper 5 ½ in x 5 ½ in [Square shaped]

4- Design Paper 4 in x 4 in [Square shaped]

8-24 - Design Paper 3 ¾ x 3 ¾ in [Right Triangle shaped]

Stickers, die-cuts, lace, gift tag or whatever accessories you want to decorate with

I will be explaining to you how to create this book by the colors of the papers I used in the photos. That way there is no confusion.

1. Let’s start by getting your 3 cardboard or thick papers and cutting 3 perfect 8 in x 8 in squares of card. I'm using 3 black papers. It’s important to make the squares accurately so that the book folds properly. Take one of those papers and fold it in half vertically from right to left then flip it over and fold it again the same way. You want to have four squares when you’re done. Fold it corner-to-corner diagonally to form a triangle. Do the same thing to the other two papers.

2.  Lay the three pieces of paper with a diagonal folds going vertically and the middle of the card overlapping one corner-square of each of the other two.

4. Squeeze in the corners of the outer pieces of card. Just push the top and bottom corners along the diagonal fold lines and press down firmly. Keeping the folds tucked in, turn the whole thing over and now squeeze in on the remaining diagonal lines. Press down on the whole lot and you should have a square book- put something on top of it to stop it all from springing out again!

Next is to make the covers.

1.  Cut 2 squares of whatever paper you want to use for your book, I just used the two Design Paper that are cut 5 ½ in x 5 ½ in from the June PFP Fave Planner Kit you could use a mount board or thicker cardboard- or maybe stick two pieces of card together to get a sturdier cover. Make the sides 2 cm bigger all around, fold down the sides to make the mitered corners- it’s easier to form the shape before you apply the glue or tape.

2. Center the black folded part of the card inside all the edges of the cover- remember the actual book pages are slightly smaller than the cover. Carefully line up the cover and the back of your book and stick down firmly. Repeat the sticking process with the back cover- if you are using a paper with a “one-way” design you’ll need to match up the patterns nicely on the two covers.

1. I decorated my cover first by cutting some design paper and sticking it down on top of a plain gift tag then I added some lace, a die-cut piece, some heart puffy stickers and a bow to make my tag even cuter. I added two strips of lace to the bottom of the tag just because I love lace. Then I just added some decorated stickers that also came from the June PFP Fave Planner Kit- the motivational “Mega Babe” and “get it girl” stickers and some puffy heart stickers. Cover is done!

2. Inside of your card is completely up to you on how you want to design it whether it’s a themed card for a gift or just a memorable keepsake for yourself. Mine is a gift for my best friend who is graduating from college! I used four [4 in x 4 in] PFP Fave design papers that were double sided and glued them down on the four center squares. I grabbed my triangle pre-cut pieces and added those to the corners of the top and bottom folded squares.

3. I added some puffy heart stickers throughout and my toddler drew some art work that I added to the square pieces using the polka dot washi tape that came in the PFP Fave Planner Kit. But feel free to add photos, stickers, die-cuts, or whatever your heart desires. And, that’s it!

Here is what my complete book looks like with everything added ...

I hope you liked this book idea and will want to have a go at making one for yourself, they are fun to make and even more fun to share. I’d love to hear what you think and if you make one of these books I’d love to see yours so make sure you tag me on Instagram or Facebook in your photo.

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!

I'm Sabrina and I'm so excited to show y'all how to create an awesome card for any occasion. No need to spend $3.99 or more on a Hallmark card that just gets stuffed away in a drawer or worst … thrown away. Whomever you are creating this card for is going to love this card so much that it's going to be displayed on their desk or on a fridge because unlike a Hallmark card this card is created by YOU and with so much love! This is such a simple and quick tutorial all you need are a few items which I'm sure y'all have lying around in your craft boxes or in your desks. The best part about creating a card is you can use whatever you want to make it special. Let's get started...

Here are the supplies you'll need:

Cardstock (any color and make sure it’s a little thick)

Patterned Paper (I'm using watercolor lilac flowers from the May PopFizzPaper Planner Kit)

6x6 in decorative paper

Pencil

4 brads (Use a color that will match your card)  

Scissors (I’m using Craftsmart Decorative scissors)

A ruler

Decorative lace or ribbon

Die cut pieces (I’ll be using a mix of My Art C and Heidi Swapp)

Adhesive tape, glue stick and double sided tape

Stickers (I will be using Mambi stickers, Recollections dimensional alphabet stickers, and decorative stickers from the May PopFizzPaper Planner Kit)

Before I even start any project I like to choose a theme and spread everything that I may be using out on the table that way I can see everything I will be working with. Now if you’re like me this is not all that’s going to be used, I will probably be going back and forth inside my craft boxes to find more items to use. Since it’s graduation season the theme of this card is … Graduation! But you can choose any theme you'd like whether it's for a graduation, birthday, wedding, get well, etc.. I am making this card for my cousin who is graduating from High School next month and I want it to be an inspirational card for her.

First step: I'm going to be keeping the size of this cardstock which is about 5.5 in x 8.5 in. I’m going to measure my decorative [lilac] paper to be the exact size because I’m to just glue the lilac print right on top of that thicker cardstock. I’m going to get my smaller 6x6 in decorative paper and measure it at 4 x 5 in size to fit the center of my card. [The “dream big” decorative paper is from Heidi Swapp’s Minc collection.]

Second step: I then used my decorative scissors to cut my dream decorative paper to size however I didn’t like the way the scissors cut the edges it didn’t come out as precise as I wanted it to. But no worries, just grab a piece of lace or ribbon and place that around the edges. I hole punched the four corners, measured 2 strips that were 4 in and 2 strips that were 5 in, laid those along the proper edges and secured the corners down with 4 cute, purple brads. Grab some double sided tape roll a piece and add to all four sides this is going to create a 3 dimensional look for the center of the card.

Third step: This is the fun step that we all wait for … decorating! This step you can get as creative as you want; just be you and have fun. I pulled out some Mambi stickers, Recollections Alphabet stickers, PopFizzPaper May decorative stickers, some die cuts and adhesive tape. I placed everything down on the card first before taping or gluing it down this way I can move pieces around as I please. I’m thinking it looks pretty cute BUT it’s not perfect. Remember when I said in the beginning I’m more in likely going to go back into my craft box … well that’s what I did here. I found some other die cuts pieces that just gave this card a better flow.

Final step: Yep, this was definitely missing something and I think this little blue dollies die cut just completed my entire card! Here it is the final look, I think it came out simply perfect! I didn’t want this to look like a simple folded card I think this flat lay out is perfect for displaying on a cork board, corner of a mirror, in a binder, on the fridge, etc.  

I hope y’all enjoyed this simple DIY and if you create a special card tag me in the comments or photo, I’d love to see your fabulous creations!

Being relatively new to the planner world I have been trying to figure out what type of planner I am. There are many groups of planners the vertical girls (raise your hands), the horizontal girls (where are you?), the hourly planners (your turn!) but of course there are the non Erin Condren planners (all of you raise your hands). In addition to that we have a whole different group the white space planners and the non white space planners. When you are first learning to decorate your planner it takes some time to figure out what you like. This took me almost 2 months and even today I am still working on it.

I have discovered that I am more of a white space planner because I like checklist flags more than I like ombre heart boxes. I also really love half boxes or large label stickers. I tend to really like functional stickers and the great thing about Pop Fizz Paper’s planner kits is that there are plenty of functional stickers to do a perfect white space spread.

The new add on kit that you can purchase when you buy the Planner Kit or the Gimme Stickers Kit is great for those that want to non white space plan. I encourage everyone to get it though because for us white space planners it gives you more options and while you won’t use all of it it really jazzes up your white space spread.

The primary stickers I used from the kit are the Checklist Flags both full box and half box, Labels both skinny and large, Round Labels, Headers and a few full box checklists. I accented the design with some decorative as well as washi at the bottom of the spread. 

One of the questions many of you may have is how did you do this with only enough headers for one checklist? Well this is simple many times planners (including myself) make too many lists of to dos that are just simply unrealistic. To not make this mistake I allowed myself one checklist per day. The three days I added in a second checklist using the full box checklist heart boxes was due to the fact that I blog and podcast and have specific things only on those days that need to get done. I always make sure to put in a spot for TV shows because as busy as I am I have to remind myself to have some fun every day. As for the weekend I went a little more decorative because I was trying to give myself some time off of being stressed. So to do this I gave myself minimal space to write in to do lists.

I did a few things different with this spread than I have done in my other ones. I decorated MDNs with washi tape. I wanted to tie in the colors of the spread by using coordinating washi. I also used hydrate stickers which I usually don’t use. I have noticed however that perhaps I need them to hold myself more accountable for my fitness goals. I also used the circle labels which are not included in all sticker kits (from other shops) but this is a feature I LOVE about Pop Fizz Paper. The circle labels make white space planning so much easier and they are designed beautifully. The side bar design I have done before but I love it even more with the half box checklists because it minimizes the weekly goals and forces me to pick just a few! My goal is to not over plan myself. In other words don’t over extend yourself Teresa!

I hope you amazing ladies got some ideas on how to do your white space planner spread or even just a planner spread using Pop Fizz Paper
