Today I'm sharing fun collective Halloween haul. Thanks for watching!
~*~ SHOP THE VIDEO ~*~
Hi friends! Today I'm sharing a happy mail video I created for a recent Tombow project. I love crafting things for friends and I thought I'd try making a mini travelers notebook style of happy mail this time. Enjoy!
What do you do with your left over design paper? Don't throw it away! I've got a cute little DIY for you that you can do in a matter of minutes. Grab your left over PopFizzPaper design paper from your planner kits, any scrap paper, or construction paper don't worry about the size whether it's an 8x7 or 12x12 or even smaller because...
I'm going to show you how to make a folder with two pockets out that paper. This little folder will be perfect to put stickers in and mail to your friends, hole punch and add to your planner, or use it to store stickers or sticky notes for on-the-go. The possibilities are endless!
Materials you will need are:
Design Paper, Scrap Paper, or Construction Paper
A ruler, adhesive tape or glue, and a pair of scissors
Decorative items such as washi, embellishments, stickers, die-cuts, etc.
First, you will need to decide what size of folder you want. I am going to be making mini folders that will end up being about 3 in x 6 in . I started with about an 8 in x 8 in sheet of paper. Measure with a ruler or use a paper cutter to cut down your sheet if you want feel free to start with a 12 in x 12 in paper or an 8 in x 11 in sheet.
Once you have your sheet fold it in half from right to left, then fold it inside out [both ways] so that you are making a deep crease down the center because you'll be needing one of the folds for later on.
Next, fold the bottom part upward about 4 to 5 inches. Whatever your size of your sheet is you want your bottom part to fold upward about half the height of your paper because that part is going to be your pockets and you want to make sure you have enough height to put items in securely once the sides are glued down.
Lay your paper flat after you've made your folds. Grab your ruler and place it on the right side of your paper and you are going to measure 1/2 inch and fold at the 1/2 inch mark. Do the same thing to the other side.
The bottom part that is going to be folded up you are going to need your scissors to cut a small incision. [See photo below where to cut] You're basically going to be cutting a 1/2 rectangular off the bottom sides so that the bottom sides don't over lap onto the pocket because it's going to make those bottom corners thicker which in my photo I kind of forgot to do that so I want to make I informed you about that before you do the same thing. It's totally fine if you do forget this step the bottom sides will just be thicker and you'll have to add some extra glue to hold that thickness together.
Now we are going to make the pockets. So, fold your paper in half from right to left again and in the middle part start at about 3/4 of an inch from the bottom and cut upward to the fold part of your pocket line. Put your scissors down and fold the bottom part up; you should have two pockets that are the same size!
And, it's time to glue the sides down so make sure you're using a stronger glue or adhesive tape because you don't want the sides to peel up. There you go; you have your folder!
You can stop here if you want to keep your folder simple or if you're like me and like to decorate things then grab those craft items you have next to you and craft away!
I added some washi to the bottom corner, some puffy heart stickers, and in the center I just got a piece of gold sheer design paper and cut it into a small square; added die-cut feathers to the corners and alpha stickers in the center. That's it go ahead an add your goodies to the inside of your new folder!

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!
Hello everybody! It’s Jennifer again, and this week I’m going to show you how I made a cute Halloween card with PopFizzPaper stickers!
To make this card, I used:
Have you seen these coloring Halloween Costume stickers? They are too cute! They are designed to be used either by themselves, or you can dress it up with a photo of your favorite someone! I already had some photos of my daughter printed on sticker paper, so I went through what I had to find one that looked good with the witch outfit stickers. Once I decided on the photo, I fussy-cut my daughter’s head and part of her neck.
Next, I worked on the background of my card. I wanted the witch stickers to pop, so I added some glitter pumpkin washi from my stash and drew a simple cobweb and spider with a silver sharpie. I chose my favorite quote from the Halloween Friends deco sheet.
I found it easier to color my witch costume on the sticker sheet before I applied the sticker to the card. I used Tombow Dual Brush Markers, but any of your favorite coloring mediums will do fine! Now it’s time to add my little witch baby! Here’s what I did to make sure I had the head I cut out earlier placed perfectly. You’re going to want to layer the costume sticker just slightly over the photo sticker, but at the same time I also wanted to make sure that the costume sticker was layered over part of the washi. What I did was take the costume sticker of the witch dress and placed the bottom half of it down where I thought it should go, but I did not press the top part of the dress to the paper. Next, I removed the sticker paper backing on the photo and lined up the top part of the costume where I wanted it, then I finished putting down the stickers. Then I topped it off with the witch hat! So cuuuute!
For some finishing touches, I added a bat and a spider from the Halloween Friends deco sheet. What a cute and easy Halloween card! PopFizzPaper has some adorably spooky Halloween stickers for your planner and card making! How are you getting ready for Halloween? I’d love to see!

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.
Tell me I am not the only person out there that uses an actual wireless optical mouse for my computer instead of the built in mouse pad attached to the computer? I guess I’m old school because my little Logitech optical mouse is my favorite because I just don’t like the flat built in mouse pads that come on the computers. Plus, there are so many cute mouse pads out there that just add cuteness to your desk area.
So why am I talking about computer mouse pads? Well today, I am going to show you a really quick DIY mousepad using some items from the October PopFizzPaper Planner Kit. How quick you may be wondering? Like 5 minutes’ tops! Let’s jump right into this DIY project and make a cute mouse pad for our desk.
Supplies you will need:
Intentionally my goal was to make a cute heart-shaped mouse pad however I went to 4 different stores and couldn’t find a large cork sheet I only found actual framed cork boards. Finally, I decided to check one last store, Office Depot. They did have the large sheet I was looking for but they had these cute, squared cork wall tiles that were 6” x 6” my first thought in my mind was “this size is perfect!” I have a small desk so realistically I couldn’t have a large mouse pad anyways. I grabbed the 4-pack of 6”x 6” cork wall tiles for $5.99 and I figured I could either make wall décor or make 3 other different mouse pads that I could swap out throughout the year with the extra 3 tiles.
Ok, I rambled enough … first thing you are going to do is decide the shape of the mousepad that you want. If you have a large sheet [of cork] then cut out the shape you want. I took my pre-cut, ready-to-go cork tile and placed it onto my design paper and just traced that way the paper will be the same size as the tile. Then grab your clear sheet… you can go out and find a thicker, clear plastic sheet to go onto of your design paper so that it glides over the mousepad better OR you can a clear binder protector sheet. You know the pocket sleeves that most of us use to store our stickers in in mini binders; those work just fine and they are inexpensive. Put the tile onto the sleeve and trace also.
Next grab your paper cutter or scissors and cut the lines that you traced with the pen on both the design paper and pocket protector sleeve. Don’t worry if there is excess on the sides because after you glue everything together you’ll be cutting all excess off anyways.
Take your foam brush and add some mod podge onto it and put it all over the top of the cork tile. Place the design paper right on top of the cork and smooth out any bubbles or bumps.
Add a thin layer of mod podge on top of the design paper and place the pocket sleeve on top. Smooth out any imperfections and place something heavy on top of the mouse pad until everything dries.
*This is optional: but I added the exclusive PopFizzPaper Beauty Babe washi along the sides of the tile so I didn’t see any cork and honestly this black and white stripes washi looks so cute paired with the Beauty Babe rose design paper I chose to use. LOVE!
So that is it! Told you this would be quick! Now, grab your mousepad put your mouse on top and start using. You just made a cute DIY mousepad that cost you less than $5-$10 to make [depending on how much supplies you already had]. So how many of you students and planner girls are going to try this fun DIY?
