News — Stickers and Washi

Most witchy planner setups have a shelf life of about five weeks. They go up at the end of September, they are all pumpkins and bats, and by the second week of November they look like decorations nobody took down. The version that lasts all year is built on moons, stars and a dark palette, with the Halloween pieces added on top for October and removed after. Here is how to split it. The year-round base: three colors and the night sky Pick three colors and hold to them: black, a deep purple and one metallic (silver or holographic). Then...

A verse sticker does one job a highlighter cannot: it puts a single verse where you will see it without opening anything. That is the whole point of it, and it is why one well-placed sticker tends to matter more than a decorated page. Here are eight places a verse sticker earns its spot, and a short way to choose which verse. Start with one verse for a season Pick the verse you need to hear for the next few months, not your favorite of all time. Two that cover a lot of seasons: For uncertainty, a move, a new...

An e-reader case is about the size of a paperback cover, which means there is room for three or four stickers and no room for a mistake. Most regret comes from the same place: the first sticker went dead center, and everything after had to work around it. This is the order that avoids that. Decide on case or device first Put stickers on the case, not the e-reader. A case can be replaced for a few dollars and the stickers go with it; the back of the device is curved at the edges, and you will want it clean...

A die-cut sticker is a small commitment. A sheet of planner stickers gets used up a row at a time; a single vinyl sticker goes on one thing and stays there. So the question people actually have is not which sticker, it is where. Here are twelve places that work, four that do not, and the two-minute method for getting one on straight. What makes a die-cut sticker different A die-cut sticker is cut to the outline of its own design, with no square of background around it. Ours are printed on vinyl, which is thicker than paper sticker stock...

A decorative sticker makes a page look nice. A functional sticker does a job — it marks something, tracks something, or saves you writing the same word forty times. The distinction matters because they fail differently. Nobody regrets buying too few decorative stickers; plenty of people have a drawer of functional sets they bought without a system to use them in. What functional stickers actually do Three things, and only three. Everything below is one of these. 1. They make something findable. A colored flag on a page is visible when the page is closed or when you are flipping...

How to store sticker sheets, leftover cut stickers, washi rolls and patterned paper so you can actually find them and stop buying doubles.

You don't need to buy a pre-made sticker kit to have a cohesive planning setup. With a blank notepad, a few sticker sheets, and about twenty minutes, you can build a custom kit that's tailored exactly to how you actually plan. Here's how to do it yourself. Step 1: Start with a blank base Pick a plain notepad as your foundation, something with enough pages that you won't run out mid-project. Our Pastel Perfection Notepad and Get It Done Notepad both work well as a base layer for a DIY kit since their clean layouts leave room to build around....

Loose stickers and washi tape have a way of taking over a bag, drawer, or planner pocket if you don't have a system for them. Bent sticker sheets and unraveling tape rolls aren't just annoying, they're avoidable. Here's how to actually keep your collection in good shape. Use a laminated pouch for sticker sheets Full sticker sheets get bent and creased more easily than almost anything else in a planner kit, so they need their own home. Our laminated vellum sticker pouches, like the Moon and Stars Laminated Vellum Sticker Pouch and Rainbow Heart Laminated Vellum Sticker Pouch, are laminated...

Staring at a blank monthly spread is one of the most common reasons people give up on sticker planning before they even get started. You don't need dozens of sticker sheets or an elaborate system to make a month look put together. Here are five simple layouts that work well for beginners, using just a couple of sticker sets each. 1. Dates only, clean and simple The easiest layout to start with is also the most functional: just drop a set of Monthly Date Stickers onto your calendar grid and stop there. No decorating required. This layout is ideal if...

Washi tape is one of the easiest ways to make a planner spread feel more finished, and you don't need any special skill to use it well. If you've got a roll sitting in a drawer and aren't sure where to start, here are ten simple ways to put it to work. 1. Frame your week Run a strip of tape along the top or side of your weekly spread to create a clean border. Our Moon and Star Holographic Foil Washi Tape adds a subtle shimmer that catches the light without overwhelming the page. 2. Divide your days Use...

Scroll through any planner community online and you'll hear these two words constantly: functional and decorative. If you're new to stickers, it's easy to assume they're just two names for the same thing. They're not, and knowing the difference will help you build a spread that actually works for you instead of one that just looks nice in photos. What "functional" stickers actually do Functional stickers carry information. They mark a date, a task, a habit, or a reminder, and they replace handwriting so your planner stays fast to fill in and easy to scan at a glance. Our Monthly...
