Review : AMIFA Sticker Collecting Sheet

 I love stickers! Whilst we tend to think about them for just journaling or scrapbooking, I've found myself reaching for them to decorate many other things like birthday cards or packages. Needless to say, I've started to carry sheets of them even when I go on trips. But this can get heavy esp when many of them are repetitions of the same things. So how do I "decant" them?

One of my favorite methods is to use the sticker release paper we stock in our store. Fully customizable down to the size you would need or even holed punched! (The store also offers custom TN sized booklets made with this paper. Check the listing ^^] See here.

A slightly less cost effective option would be to try these sticker collecting sheets!

Each package comes with 8 sheets which measure 9cm by 6cm.

They are made of a card like material making each sheet very thick [thicker than a standard name card]

As the name suggests, they are good for rolling out masking tape as well as stickers you want to bring on the go.

You can file these cards in any 6 hole binder. However due to their thickness, it is difficult to file more than 2 cards at a time without adding way too much bulk [even more bulky when you roll a lot of masking tape on it]

Overall, I prefer to use the sticker release sheets we have as it is less bulky, cheaper and has more surface area. However, one good use for these small cards would be how well they fit in one's wallet. You can easily collect stickers you encounter on your trip for scrapbooking or journaling later. 

What do you think?

Would you try this?

DIY sticker book (using our sticker release paper)

Sticker release paper is coated paper you can use to store your stickers.

The stickers are removable and the paper is reusable. 

Note: adhesive effectiveness may depend on the sticker/manufacturer.  

In this post, we'll learn how to make a Slim A5/Travelers Notebook personal insert size sticker book. 

 Watch a video of this DIY on our youtube channel.

You'll need:

1 x A4 card (for the cover)

1 set of A4 sticker release sheets (we recommend a maximum of 10 sheets for the notebook)

1 stapler 

Buy sticker release paper here.

You'll also need a bone folder (or something with a blunt edge), 2 paperclips, a cutter and a ruler. 

You don't need to use an office grade stapler, there are ways to staple bind the notebook with an everyday stapler.

I'm using this long stapler from threeppy, your local office supply store should sell something similar, it's a good item to have for making your own notebooks. 

Step 1: fold the A4 card and all the sticker release sheets. 

This will make it easier to keep a notebook shape. 

Step 2: Align all the sheets and secure 2 sides with the paper clips. 

Step 3: Measure and mark where you'd like the staples to go. 

Step 4: Align the stapler to the fold of the card and staple the sheets together. 

This is what the staples look like inside and outside. Folding the paper at the beginning helps with the alignment. 

Step 5: Because of the thickness of the paper, after the binding, there will be some edges that will stick out. 

I recommend trimming them off. 

Step 6 (optional): You can leave the book as A5 or measure and trim it again to make a travelers notebook insert, also known as slim A5. 

I used the offcuts to create a mini book, it's great for keeping random strips of washi tape or giving stickers to friends! 

Final step is to decorate your new notebook! 

If you need more pages or the ability to swap out pages, we also have A5 sticker release sheets that can be punched with 6 or 20 hole upon request.
