New in store! Cherry blossom stickers and photostrips

 New to our Etsy store. 

Cherry blossom sticker sheet and photostrip set. 

The sticker sheet contains elements that are great for journalling. 

10 'cut washi tape' that are about 12-15mm tall. 

7 flowers and 8 petals, great for filling in spaces. 

8 round stickers, 30mm wide, 

Each sticker is kiss cut and the sheet is available in either gloss or matte. 

Personally, I prefer the matte XD. 

All the colours complement each other, it works well with our April printable too!

The photostrip set includes 4 photostrips with photos by us! 

Each strip has 4 photos, and the text is kiss cut too so you can use it in your journalling.

Also available in gloss and matte, we recommend gloss for more vibrant colours.

Review: Hapila! Sheet Seal Collection Refill

 Nothing is more fun than stationery shopping...well maybe except the organization of stationery *_* If you are like us, you will have tons of stickers in your stash and it is just too easy to forget about them. So when Hapila! released a sticker filing solution, we simply had to check it out!

Each pack comes with 5 sheets and each sheet is A4 with 30 holes. 

There are 3 pockets [single sided opening] and each measures 98cm X 210cm.

This makes it large enough to file your sheet stickers in its original packaging. Plastic sleeve and all!

To file these sleeves, I used an A4 30 rings binder from MUJI.

It took me a while to file everything but here is a video it done ^^

What do you think? How do you organize your stickers?

KING JIM Masurie : DIY masking tape stickers

Japanese stationery brand King Jim launched a new range of stickers a while ago where the difference is you get to customize it with your own washi tape! Named Masurie, there are several styles available and each includes a clear sheet of stickers with raised black outlines. To use, you simply lay your desired tape over it [see video below] and cut away the access from the outline. Lift the completed sticker from the release plastic sheet and your sticker is ready for use!

[youtube=://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJjnhGwI8Zk&w=640&h=480]

Initially, its a little tricky to get the edges clean (unless you are a whiz with your xacto knife which sadly i am not) but the results are quite lovely. Once you get the hang of it, you can layer lots of different tapes to create your own one of a kind sticker which coordinates perfectly with whatever color theme you want.

Have you tried these out?

Store Update! Sticker Release Paper!

A while ago, we released A5 sticker release paper on our Etsy store. We’re now excited to announce that it is now available in A4 size!

Sticker release paper is a smooth coated paper that allows for the temporary placement of stickers, much like the sticker books of your childhood. So yes, the paper is reusable as much as you want.

We stock double sided paper, which is perfect for a variety of uses which I’ll go into more detail below.

Our A5 sticker release paper can be used in our clear 6 ring binder (pictured above), a 2 ring file, slide it into a folder, slot it into an A5 pocket folder or with some cutting, our sticker folder (currently out of stock, will be back soon!)

You can also create your own mini booklet, or go up a size to A4:

The A4 sticker release paper is very versatile.

Besides some of the same suggestions as the A5 paper such as inserting it into a folder, or using a 2 hole folder, you can also create your own travelers notebook insert! (or we can do it for you, subject to availability, please request a custom item if you do not see it on our store)

We’ve also found that it fits perfectly in our A4 slim compact foldable folder. The folder has 5 pockets and the pages are easily slid in or out for use and the best part is that it is the same size as a Travelers notebook.

Once again, our sticker release paper comes in A5 or A4 size, it is double sided and comes in a set of 10 sheets (20 usable pages!)

Purchase here: Sticker Release Paper , A4 slim folder, A5 6 ring clear binder

Also, our printer friendly A4 Washi sticker paper is back in stock!

Kokuyo pon!pon! Donut Seal Stamp + Mister Donut Collab

Do you recall the clear or white ring shaped stickers for protecting the ring holes on paper for filing inside binders? Kokuyo has come up with a dispenser design which makes them a lot easier to stick and they have also made some extremely pretty stickers as well!

There is even a mister donut limited edition collaboration!

Usage is fairly straight forward. If you are trying to stick it around a hole, then all you have to do is insert the cap underneath the paper, line up the holes and push the dispenser down to stick a seal perfectly each time.

Changing the designs around is not difficult either. Simply press the button on the side and the middle stick will fall out. Pull out the seals inside and refill it with the next stack of your choice.

You can also use them as you would a normal sticker. The mister donut collab ones are perfect for it!

FYI, The pens above are from the SaRASA X mister donut LE collab.

Have you tried these? What do you think of them?

Sunstar HARU & HARU schedule stickers

SUN-STAR has released a series of repositionable schedule stickers called HARU&HARU and I picked up the HOLIDAY range for a review!

Each pack comes with just one sheet which you can separate into 4 smaller sheets to fit in your journal. Each sheet also has a stripe of repositionable tape on it which means you can stick it anywhere in your planner and remove it cleanly to stick elsewhere.

And that's not all! The stickers themselves are also repositionable! This makes them perfect for scheduling if you have plans that change and can then move to them to the updated time/date/location in your planner.

SUN-STAR has marketed these are a first of its kind and I do not believe I have seen them anywhere else either. 

What about you? Have you tried these? What did you think? Would you like us to stock it in the store? 

Let us know!

Xyron 'create-a-sticker' maker

You know how sometimes you pick up a cute sheet of paper, or scrapbooking die cuts and wish it came in a sticker instead so you can put it in your travel kit? You could carry a glue stick but that seems counterproductive. 

I like a clean, easy to use kit so I was excited to discover the Xyron sticker maker (mine is the pink breast cancer ribbon edition). It's compact size means you can take it with you or store it easily. You do need to purchase refills but at 6.1m long, that will last you a while. It doesn't require batteries and it's simple to use. 

How to use: 

1. Pick your graphic and cut it out (I use the gyro cut, you can use a regular craft blade or scissors) 
2. Drop it in the Xyron
3. Slowly pull at the end of the cartridge on the other end
4. Tear off the bit with your graphic
5. Light rub the area that has your graphic to make sure the adhesive has transferred
6. Peel off the plastic 
7. Use sticker or store for use later! 

Plan in advance to maximise use of the adhesive and make multiple stickers on a single sheet, as there is a piece between where your sheet starts and where you tore off the last piece (see picture in slideshow with 'this bit') that goes to waste. 

Happy sticker creating!

*Paper used is from Daiso's sakura collection
