I thought it would be fun to share my newest plan with me video here on the blog this week! It features the new Rainbow kit here in the shop. I only used a few sheets, but there is a whole range of matching stickers for this kit - you should check 'em out! :)

Thanks for watching!

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:

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.

This week I am using nearly all stickers from PopFizzPaper! I will be incorporating the stickers that came in the February planner kits as well as some of the stickers I received for being a creative team member. You can watch my "plan with me" below to see the entire process of how I created my weekly layout. 

One of my favorite elements from this layout is the layering. Particularly what I did in the top right corner where the "thankful thought" box is at. This adorable quote sticker really stands out against the sprinkled background. It is also a perfect motivational message to keep me going for this week! 

Another favorite area in this weeks layout is where I annotated my mother in law's birthday. I used the circle appointment labels and the birthday sampler to create an adorable little collage. The way the stickers are designed really made this element pop! 

These video boxes are sure to keep me organized and on schedule! It has a blank lined area to write the title of your video, which is spectacular. And it has a very detailed heart checklist for everything you need to do to get your video prepared, uploaded, and promoted! 

The end result of this week was beyond what I had anticipated. I absolutely adore it! Be sure to check out PopFizzPaper to purchase these stickers and create a donut weekly spread for yourself!

Happy Planning! 

Hey guys! By this point, you all know what was in the February PopFizz Planner Kit, but I bet you didn't know how much work and detail went into making the kits happen. I thought it would be interesting to share with you a behind the scenes look at the kits. 

I started vlogging the kit process waaaay back in early December and filmed updates along the way as the kits progressed. The video below gives you a peek into how I organize the kits, the design process, the production of creating the items to go in the kits, and more. 

Pretty cool, right? This video was a lot of fun to make and share with you all, but now I've got to get back to work on the March kits. :D They are super pretty, so don't forget to come back here to pick one up on Feb 1st at noon PT. And if you are nosey like me and want sneek peeks of the March kit, make sure to follow @popfizzpaper on Instagram!
