DIY Tags Using Full Box Stickers
Hey everyone- Brittany here! Today I want to share with you how I made tags- both for organizing and for gifts using full box stickers!
I thought these notebook paper full boxes from PopFizzPaper would be perfect for organizing craft supplies!
I pulled out some paper from my scrap bin and applied the full box stickers to the patterned side. I made sure to line up with the edges as much as I could so that there was less cutting for me to do! Then all I had to do was trim around the stickers to my desired width.
Next I used some black ink for definition on the edges. This is completely optional I just really like the effect it gives! With an 1/8” hole punch I made the holes for the twine!
All that was left was for me to decide on my categories that needed labeling (I went with stamps & ink, hot glue gun, and paper punches) and attach the twine! I made sure to leave plenty of length to the twine so that I could easily attach it to my bins and trim the excess afterwards.
I love labeling bins to make it easy to find my supplies and even easier to remember where they belong once I’m done! Here’s how it looks on my shelves!
This same concept also works for making a unique tag for a gift or project! I used the floral watercolor full boxes from the May Kit, placed them on cardstock, trimmed, inked, punched, and tied! I even embellished a few of them- the possibilities are endless! It’s a great way to clear out those bits of string and scraps of paper we are all holding on to because us crafting ladies can’t seem to throw ANYTHING away!
I hope you enjoyed this simple DIY! Do you have a go-to project you find yourself making time and time again when you have extra scraps and supplies to use up? Please share in the comments!
Watercolor Floral Plan With Me
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
You-Color-It Monthly Spread feat. Tombow Colored Pencils
Hi guys, Dani here! Today I thought I would share my May monthly spread in my personal sized planner with you. I used SewMuchCrafting monthly inserts, Tombow Irojiten colored pencils, and the Summertime You-Color-It stickers from our shop.
Because these are personal sized pages, there wasn't a ton of room for decorating so I kept it fairly simply. I colored in the stickers with the Tombow pencils in pretty spring colors. The "Tranquil" colorway worked perfectly!
I can't do a spread of any sort without some washi, so I added some grass washi to the bottom of the pages. I also created a shelf (sorta? kinda?) with the wood washi. I really liked how I colored the flower pot sticker and wanted to feature it prominently on the page.
I like how the stickers let you use whatever colors you want so you can coordinate with your spread. I tried to color them in so that they had a bit of shading, but I think I need more practice, lol. :D
Overall though, I'm really pleased with how these little pages turned out! I still have to write in some important to-do's and dates, but I wanted to go ahead and share now.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! Let us know in the comments what other kinds of You-Color-It stickers you'd like to see in the shop!
PS: I am a Brand Ambassador for Tombow so I received these pencils for free to try out. My opinions about them are 100% honest and my own. I do not receive any compensation if you purchase them for yourself. :)
Task Tracking with Checkboxes
I have a confession to make, I hate to do lists! I loathe making them and loathe seeing things not get ticked off. More importantly I generally don't have many things to write on a to do list. So it used to frustrate me to have these gorgeous check boxes left over from our weekly kits.
Then I had an ta-da moment! I do have regular tasks (designing stickers for example) that have three steps that each need to be done. These check boxes would be a good way of checking where I am on each design I'm working on for that week. Especially since I tend to do say all the drawing at once I occasionally get lost.
I find it easiest to do all my other planning first, this both lets me see how busy my week is and thus how much I can actually expect to finish but also what days to avoid. I just love this gorgeous rainbow kit and really wish I had bought more of it!
Next on all my free days I put my little 3 check boxes. This isn't the task for that day but more a place throughout the week where I will track my progress, achieving anymore in one week tends to difficult.
And really all there is left to do is write down the sticker design and the steps digitalize and silhouette process. These are the three important steps I need to track, and this way I can go through and tick off what I have drawn and what I have digitalized. No more duplicated work and no more wasted stickers. I hope this was helpful to you and please let me know what creative use you have for our stickers?
DIY Postcards
The March PopfizzPaper Planner Kit was one of my favorite yet. I have not gotten into using journaling cards to journal with, so I tried to come up with an idea for those beautiful cards that Brooklynne and Dani created. Postcards became the answer for me. I started off with grabbing an old fashioned Postcard embossing folder and my 2 favorite cards of the kit. Then I gathered the PopFizzPaper stickers I was going to use to help create these postcards to send to friends.
I embossed the two cards with the embossing folder and thus created the background for my cards. I used half of the cardstock from the kit ( the actual information card) to add thickness to one of the cards and hide the writing that was on one side. This created two bases for my postcards.
I used the Washi strips from the kit and the Build Your own Stickers to create a scene on one of the postcards. I also used the Succulent Washi Tape from the March kit for decoration. This created the decorative elements of my postcards.
I chose the PopFizzPaper Mail Time stickers to add a final detail. I mean, who doesn't want a "PenPal" letter sent to them with these awesome hand-drawn stickers? That completed my Hand-made postcards from the March Planner Kit from PopFizzPaper. I added stamps and am now ready to send them off with a short note. I hope this has inspired you to create something simple for a friend using wonderful products.
Watercolor Plan With Me
Hi everyone, it's Diana here taking over the blog again today. I'm going to be focusing on stickers for our monthly spreads today. A lot of us have found our grooves with our weekly planning, but I know many of us still struggle utilizing our monthly spreads. PopFizzPaper has created an amazing new line of stickers that just may be the solution you are all looking for. It has made using my monthly view so much less difficult.
With the combination of the newly released skinny appointment stickers and the new icons stickers, it's a winning combo for my monthly spreads.
Here are just a few ways on how I use these amazing stickers to spruce up my monthly layouts. If your using an Erin Condren planner, look how perfect these stickers fit in a monthly box, even when layered. I love to layer the two stickers together to mark my appointments, but hate for them to go outside the lines. You won't have to worry about that with these perfectly sized stickers.
Or, you can go with the classic style of using an appointment style sticker as shown below.
I even love using these sticker outside of my monthly spreads and in my regular spreads in place of your typical 'to do' stickers. The sizing is just perfect!
PopFizzPaper even created a great new generic icon set so you can mark any occasion with. These generic icons are perfect for marking those special dates and appointments that don't have specific icons created for them.
DIY tabs using half boxes
Today I'm bringing you a simple little DIY/hack using half box stickers. My particular decorating style often leaves me with spares, so I have been looking for ideas on how to use them.
As I was sitting down doing my journaling in the journal I made a few blog back for my recent vacation. That's when my brain wave hit I could use half boxes as tabs marking when the individual days start.
I decided to stick with the donut theme of the journal and grabbed my donut half boxes. It was really simple then to just put the edge of the half box on the edge of the first page I was marking and then folding it carefully in half.
I used my ultra fine Sharpie to mark the day and date of the month. Simple enough and repeated it for the final three days. And it was all sweet.
I love the tabs and the way they look and how the coordinated together. I think it would also look cute to use the flag stickers to make tabs with also.
What ideas do you have with your left over half boxes.
Sticker Storage
Today I am going to walk you through how I store and organize all of my PopFizzPaper stickers!
I found this small photo album at Walmart for about 96 cents. They had many different colors and patterns. I decided to pick this one with a pink and gold foiled chevron pattern. If you can't find a pattern you like that is easy to fix by cutting down scrapbook paper to size and slipping that into the slots.
Next I took the business card that comes with all orders and added some washi tape to the corners. I tapped it to the insert from the photo album. Then I placed the insert back inside the photo album.
Now comes the fun part! Organizing all of my PopFizzPaper stickers! It's so great that they all fit so easily into the pages and you can fit multiple sheets into one slot. First I laid them all out on my tabletop and organized them into categories.
Once that was complete I put whole categories in one sleeve starting with my most popularly used ones (Chores, Mail, and Finances) in the front and less popularly used ones towards the back. Now when planning I can easily flick through the pages and choose the ones I'm most likely to use and get planning easier.
And that is how I set up and organize my PopFizzPaper stickers! I hope this helped you get some inspiration on how you can organize your stickers.Feel free to tell us how you organize your stickers or leave some tips and tricks in the comments.
