Flip books have become the new "thing" in the crafty/pen-pal world. A flip book is created when you attach pieces of paper or card stock together with Washi tape to create flipping pages. I created one using PopFizzPaper Journal Prompt stickers. I used some left over paper that I have had in my stash for a long time.
Using some Washi and paper, cut down to what ever size I wanted to use, I created some panels that flipped vertically and horizontally. I decorated the panels first and added bits of torn paper and some small journaling cards that I had. Then I selected some of the PopFizzpaper Journal prompts and added one or two to the panels, leaving space to write my answers.
I also used some of the other stickers that PopFizzPaper has for even more inspirational journaling. These are a great way to write down what you are doing right at that moment. I based mine off of what I have enjoyed so far in 2016.
I used a pink envelope ( attached with Washi tape) to create another space for a journal prompt. I used a scrap of paper to write my letter of self-love and slipped it inside the envelope. This is a great way to also store bits that you want to keep, such as tickets or other memorabilia from something you loved or did.
Choosing which prompts to use was the hardest part. So many amazing suggestions. Some have prompts to make you think really hard. Some of the answers are easy and make you smile when you know immediately what you are going to write. I enjoyed creating this project. Try it out and tag @popfizzpaper on IG. We would love to see your Journaling Flip-Books or any other projects you create using PopFizzPaper products!!
Whenever I travel or leave the house for a large part of the day, you can bet that my Webster's Pages Folio comes with me. I have it in the metallic gold (of course) and love that it is compact, yet holds a ton. Want to see all the fun stuff I keep in it?
I like to keep my pens in the front so I can see them and quickly grab one. In the pocket behind the pens, I keep some of my favorite stickers and sticky notes.
As an entrepreneur, business cards are a must, so I've tucked a couple in here as well. They're held in place by adorable paperclips, because #plannergirl. I also have journaling cards, washi samples, page flags and more in the pockets on this side of the folio. I don't normally keep my tiny scissors in here full-time, but tuck them in when I'm headed out the door.
Up close and personal with my pens! Of course, I have my favorite pink pen, a black Sharpie fine point, and some other Sharpies in fun colors. I also slip in my Tombow glue pen because I like to have adhesive on hand, as well as an Oops white-out pen.
Silver washi!? Yes please. Also all the skinny washi samples and a flamingo paperclip because it's amazing! A variety of journal cards are a must as well, as are my favorite die cuts (in a cute envelope, of course). Amy Tan's designs are bright and colorful, and totally my style. I would be so sad if I had no Amy Tan die cuts in my folio (or my life for that matter).
MORE WASHI. ALL THE STICKERS. I have a sticker shop, so it makes sense that I would need a lot of stickers with me at all times, right?! :D I love these stickers by Heidi Swapp, A Beautiful Mess, and any kind of word or phrase sticker. Currently, those are my #Goals phrases stickers. They totally rock.
And that is everything! A ton of stuff, as promised, in one compact, little gold folio. For reference, it measures about 8 inches by 5 inches, and probably an inch thick when packed up with all my stuff. I love that I can just grab it and go!

If you're like me, you probably have some extra, left over full box stickers lying around that you don't know what do with but also don't want to throw away because they're really cute and you spent good money on them, dang it! Or you really want to add fun cards, pictures, etc to your planner but aren't sure how. I have a fun sticker hack to share with you today that solves both problems!
To get started, you will need the following supplies:
full box sticker
planner you will be using (I will show you Happy Planner, Erin Condren, and ringbound!)
card, paper, photo, invitation, etc you want to insert into your planner
ruler (EC ruler if using an Erin Condren)
pen
scissors
hole punch (regular for Happy Planner and ring-bound, or 1/8" for Erin Condren)
First, you will need to choose what you want to add to your planner and your full box sticker. I used a Project Life card and chose a full box sticker sized to fit the Happy Planner because that is the first planner I'm working with (I will give you tips for the Erin Condren and a ring bound in a minute).
Place a little bit of the long edge of the sticker down on the side of your card where you want it to clip into the rings. Flip the card over, and fold the sticker in half down on itself and a little bit onto the other side of the card. You want just the edges of the sticker to be on the card, with plenty of overhang in the form of a "tab".
Line up your ruler about halfway between the edge of the card and the edge of the tab, with the top of the tab at 0" and the bottom of the tab at 2.5" (the full length of the Happy Planner full box sticker). Make a mark at .75" and 1.75" with your pen.
Punch out where you marked on the tab using your hole punch. Then take your scissors and snip from the outside edge of the tab into the holes. Make sure to cut enough so as to leave a little gap (like the picture).
Gently center the gaps in your tab over the rings of your Happy Planner and gently press down. Now you have a DIY sticker coil clip! You can attach all sorts of things to your planner, from dashboards, journal cards, ticket stubs, invitations, photos, anything! And all with a simple sticker you probably have anyway. This is a great use for leftover full box stickers without letting them go to waste and a super cute way to personalize your planner. I mean, you could even match them to your spreads!
You can also do this for ring bound planners in exactly the same way, except you can use a dashboard or insert page as a guide to align your punch holes on the tab. Punch, then insert in your planner, like below!
This same DIY also works great for the Erin Condren coil bound planner with a few tweaks. Use the clip-in part of the ruler that came with your planner to mark where your holes need to go, then punch with a 1/8" hole punch. You will need to snip off the excess sticker at the top and bottom of your tab at an angle so the tab will move freely in your coils. And that's it!
To see a live walk-through of this DIY for all planners mentioned in this post, check out the video I made below.
