July & August Pipsticks Pro Packs! 2016

I have got my July & August Pipstick Pro packs to share on my blog today!

I have two to share at once because they both arrived at the same time, so it made sense to do it this way to avoid getting behind with them. I've tried to show them separately below, but it might look confusing because there's just so many stickers haha, so just remember that this blogpost contains TWO packs.

I've been receiving the Pipsticks Pro pack for a year now, and you guys know that I couldn't continue to promote something on my blog/channel for that amount of time, unless I really genuinely enjoyed it! I can 100% say that I look forward to my Pipsticks pack every month.

I mean stickers coming through your letter box every month, what's not to love? But the effort the Pipsticks team put into making the packs so beautiful. I just love it.

Above is an overview of one of the packs, there's so many different styles of stickers in there! Plus you gotta love the explosion of colour that happens when you open it up and tip it onto your desk. Each month has a loose theme surrounding the pack, there's usually a few stickers in there that relate to one another. Then you just have the randoms like the glittery stickers at the bottom which are just super pretty!

There was definitely a fairground sort of theme going on in this pack, lots of fairground phrases, some fun tasty treat stickers, and ticket stickers too.

Of course these phrase stickers can easily be used to document other things, not just a trip to the fairground. For example the 'what a ride' sticker would work well on the front of some happy mail, possibly next to an airmail sticker. So it would represent the ride the letter will take to get to its final destination! These sticker packs always make me think outside the box when it comes to using them.

The other pack had a bit of a travel theme to it, I love that they weren't all completely associated with travel because if you aren't someone who travels then it would have been a bit disappointing. But the stickers that were in here were totally useable!

As I said before, if you do happy mail then travel themed stickers are perfect to use on the front of envelopes.

These stickers were beautiful, little paper boats which had newspaper print on them, along with gold foiling. I absolutely love any stickers that have some sort of foiling on them, foiling just makes anything look ten times prettier!

Again they are loosely tied with the travel theme, but equally they could be used on absolutely anything for decoration.

These stickers were all the stickers which were definitely going along with the travel theme. There were tons of stickers on the sheets, all super dinky (perfect if you only have a small place in a planner or something to document). I feel like I'm going to end up hoarding these though, until I do actually travel, because they are just soooo nice. The airline label stickers have definitely confirmed that I have a slight obsession with that sort of 'airmail'/'travel style' of stickers, with the bold red's & blue's, and all the simple clear fonts, love it! 

Looks like I best get some trips planned!

Something new they have started to do is run a raffle every single month! So in every Pipsticks pack there will be a little coloured raffle ticket, and on each info sheet that comes with the pack, it will tell you what the winning ticket was for last month's pack, along with what the prize will be for the following month!
This is a lovely added bonus for being a subscriber, plus these little tickets will make great ephemera!

April Pipsticks Pro Pack, 2016!

It's been a while since I shared a Pipsticks Pro Pack on here! My April pack went walkies in the post, so I had a replacement sent out which arrived at the start of May, so I've only just been able to get my April Share up. If you are new to Pipsticks, they are a sticker subscription service, so you get a pack full of stickers sent out to you every month! I know right? Awesome!

The April pack has been based around the idea of 'cutting loose, creating art, making music & partying!' Along with some cute dog stickers thrown in for good measure. In the info sheet they say that there are also a few giveaways coming up on their social media platforms, so I'll leave those at the bottom of this blogpost if you aren't yet following! Also if you share a photo of how you are using your Pipsticks pack, and share it on Instagram with the hashtag #mypipsticks then you may be featured on next month's info sheet, which goes out in all the packs. 

Above is the full contents of this pack, as always there is a mixture of sheets & loose stickers. Along with a postcard, the quote board to keep things flat, and the info sheet. There are lots of new stickers I've not seen before in here, but there are also some that I have. I've had the glittery stickers in past packs,  though I don't know if I've have the exact shapes or colours before. The bright pink banners are something new though, and I'm really excited to use those!

There's some reaaaaalllllyyy cool stickers in here which I'm thinking (after a little research) are from the original packs of Pipsticks? They have 'The Sticker Club' url at the bottom, which when I typed it into my address bar, it takes me to the Pipsticks website. Either way, very cool, and totally my kind of sticker! Bright, bold and fun!

The butterflies and dragonfly stickers are beautifully detailed, I know I'll definitely be able to use them in my journal for any Spring themed pages. 

There were lots of fun little characters in this pack, these used to be the types of stickers that I'd struggle to use, especially the bigger ones. Smaller characters would fit easily in little gaps on a journaling page, or in a planner. But the bigger ones I'd find harder to use, until I realised how dang cute they look on the front of some happy mail. 

Envelopes are probably one of my favourite things to decorate, I think it's the fact that I know it will be seen by more than just the person receiving it. So adding a cute little character on the front, is such a simple way to add something fun to the mail, and hopefully put a smile on the postman/woman's face!

So if you love stickers, variety, and a want something that's a little cheaper than all the other subscription services out there. Pipsticks is something you should definitely consider!

You can subscribe here.

Pipsticks Pro Pack, February 2016!

Guess what?! It's that Pipsticks time of the month again where get to show you lots of sticker goodness!

Being February, you can guess there would be some hearts in this month's pack. I'm so happy with this because I use heart stickers on everything. They are just one of those shapes which you can always find a spot for on a project. I think this pack would be great to decorate some Valentines happy mail with, or to use for journaling throughout the month. 

Can we first of all appreciate the little quote on this months card "Love is mental". My initial thought on this was 'mental' meaning love is much more a mental & emotional connection than it is physical. BUT I then realised it could also mean that love is a complete an utter roller coaster and totally mental, I thought it was such a great little quote either way. I love that they add decoration on this card, even though it's only purpose really is to prevent things from getting bent, it makes it super reusable.

There was a mixture of hearts and generic 'love' themed stickers in this pack. I think I'm going to keep this pack to document the time I spend with Jack next week when we celebrate a belated Valentines Day together, we have lots of mini dates planned so I'm going to take some time after he leaves to document the memories.

Of course I have my favourites in each pack. These were my favourites from this month, I loved the contrast of bold and pastel colours. I think I will get the most use out of these stickers, I've also not seen many of these before! It's nice to use something that you haven't seen anywhere else. I always say the variety of the pack is something I love, the pack really does provide you with stickers from all over the place! In particular the little love heart sweet ones are adorable, and those red roses are such a pretty shade of red!

The ones I tend to take longer to use are the little character ones. I do use character stickers a lot in my Ban.do journal, but obviously there's a time and a place to use them. This means that these sheets of stickers do tend to hang around in my stash for a lot longer. Hearts on the other hand I use on almost every project! 

As always I love receiving these envelopes full of sticker joy each month!

Pipsticks Pro Pack, January 2016!

So this month I've decided to share my Pipsticks Pro Pack on my blog instead of my YouTube channel, purely because I've got a lot of other things planned for my channel over the next few weeks and didn't want to stress myself out too much with fitting everything in!

Also I didn't share a December pack as it got lost in the post unfortunately.

This is the January Pipsticks Pro Pack, and I am very excited to have one of these in my hands again, it feels like it's been ages.

Seeing as the envelope is translucent, I can see some little faces looking back at me. So I was looking forward to getting this pack open! As always I'll leave pricing info and also a discount code at the bottom of this blogpost so if you are interested in subscribing, you can do so and save a bit of money!

This month I noticed the info sheet has changed slightly. It's had a little 'upgrade' and I love it! It's so lovely to have more to read and also some things to do too. There was a recipe on there, along with some photos from Instagram users who had shared a photo of their packs. I really loved reading this info sheet, it's been designed so nicely too, all the information just flows into one another.

The theme of this month's pack is based around chilling out and eating healthy. Hence there being lots of cats and fruit! 

These were the cat stickers that were included. I'm not a massive cat lover myself, but I do love the odd cute cat in my sticker stash. There were a lot of different styles of cat stickers in this month's pack. My two favourites out of them were the pair of ADORABLE stickers at the bottom, I think the artwork is just so cute. Then also the sort of 'doodle' style ones in the middle, I loved the pink, teal and orange, colour combinations on this sheet.

We then move onto the fruit stickers! First of all I have to take a moment to appreciate the smell of the puffy sticker sheet. I'm not sure if there's anyone else out there who loves this smell as much as me, but they smell like beach balls, or like old school dance mats!! The smell was so strong the whole pack smelt like it, my nose was in it's element haha!

(Mum if you are reading this blogpost, I know you love this smell too, and I'll let you have a smell of them when you are feeling better!!) 

The other fruit sticker sheet were these dinky little glittery ones. There's been a few sheets like this in past Pipsticks Pro Packs and they come in sooo handy when you have a little gap to fill.

These are my favourites from this month's pack. Of course the beach ball smelling fruit stickers are in my favourites, and that's pretty obvious why! I also loved these space themed sticker flakes, which have gold foiling, they are just beautiful, and these sock stickers on this sheet are also a favourite. The design is very detailed and I know I'll have to find somewhere special to use them.

I can't recommend Pipsticks enough. I think it's a brilliant idea and also a lot cheaper than any other subscription services.

If you are just starting out planning/journaling and/or want to grow your sticker supplies, this is a great way to do it. You get a massive variety each month, and there's always something in there for everyone.

If you would like to subscribe and join the Pipsticks Pro Club then you can do so here.

There's also a Pipsticks Kids Club option if you want to subscribe for your kids.

Prices are very reasonable for a non UK subscription:

Pipsticks Pro Club Classic Pack - $14.95/£10.50 + $3/£2.10 P&P (Per month)

In the Classic pack you get 15+ sheets of stickers, a postcard & a quote card.

Pipsticks Pro Club Petite Pack - $9.95/£7 + $3/£2.10 P&P (Per month)

In the Petite Pack you get 7+ sheets of stickers, and a mini quote card.

You can also get 15% off these prices when you subscribe, if you use the code GREEN15 

(Price conversions are not exact, also remember that Pipsticks subscriptions can be cancelled anytime.)

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I got this month! I'm off to go sort these into my journaling stash now hehe.

October 2015 Pipsticks Pro Pack!

It's that time of the month again! Pipsticks Pro pack time! Woo!!

As I'm sure you all know by now, I get this sticker subscription pack sent to me to share with you guys each month. In return I have been provided with a 15% off discount code for you all to use.

So this months pack, I have to admit was probably one of my favourites.. At first I couldn't figure out why. But I think cameras and the colour yellow may have something to do with it, hehe!

This is an overview of the whole pack. Seeing as it's October they have included a few spooky stickers which was nice to see! I really love the sugar skull ones, I definitely have a thing for sugar skulls, I think they are beautiful.

We've then got some jewels, butterflies, cats, dots and some sheets of bunny girls! Gotta love some randomness right?

The cameras are definitely my favourite in this pack. I have sooo many camera stickers, but I don't go a day without using some sort of camera, so I'm using camera stickers all the time. It's always good to have some stocked up.

I love the variety you receive with Pipsticks. Instead of sending full packs of stickers, you get snippets of sheets, sticker flakes or one sheet from a pack. It's a brilliant way to get more of a variety in your sticker collection!

Of course each month there's a lovely little quote card, this month was 'Don't give up your day dream' which is one of my favourites! Simply because I didn't, and I love my job!

I'm definitely tempted to keep this one to frame and put on the wall in my office when I move :)

So that was the October Pipsticks Pro pack.

Overall I can safely say it's one of the best I've received!

If you want to subscribe, then you can do so here.

Don't forget to use the code GREEN15 to get 15% off any subscription.

Have a lovely weekend!

Pipsticks Sticker Subscription!

I love finding new companies/shops that I’ve not heard of before, so when Pipsticks got in touch and asked if I wanted to review one of their Pro Packs, I took a look and decided it would most definitely be something I would like to review! (Stickers, yesyesyesyes!)

Can we just stop and talk about the packaging first please?! So the sticker goodness was all inside a translucent envelope (made out of tracing paper material, with their own design printed on it!), then to help protect it, it was put inside a plastic sleeve. I’ve never seen packaging like this before and I absolutely LOVE it!

So I know what you are thinking, ‘What is Pipsticks? What’s a Pro Pack?’

Well Pipsticks is a sticker subscription service (YES, STICKERS COME RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR, EVERY MONTH!). They offer different packs for different age ranges, their pro pack is aimed at the older sticker lovers. If you have any kids, they also offer a one for younger sticker lovers, so that might be something to look into! (I’m sure it’d prevent them from stealing all yours too)

The lovely people over at Pipsticks source stickers from loads and loads of different designers/brands/suppliers, and put together subscription packs. I did recognise a few from the pack, but that's because I've come across many different stickers in my sticker loving life.

Above is all of the stickers I received in the pack!

Instead of buying a pack of stickers and only liking a few of them, or trying to use them all up on different projects, Pipsticks gives you the opportunity to get a bigger variety, but in smaller quantities. I think it’s a brilliant idea, and for any Smashbookers, Planners, or creative journalers, I personally think it would be perfect because lets face it, when you’ve used a few stickers from one sheet, you want to move onto another sheet and mix it up a bit!

There's a mixture of puffy stickers and flat stickers, you don't know what you will receive, (though the Pipsticks Instagram shares many beautiful photos of their sticker sourcing travels) it's a massive surprise. I know some people aren't a fan of surprise bundles, but honestly with stickers, you can't really go wrong right? Considering there's so many projects you can use them on, you are bound to find a use for them somewhere. If not, then you could always swap with friends or do what I usually do with stickers I haven't used, keep them for swapbot swaps and snailmail!

Also, #stamplove !! I couldn’t not include a photo of these beautiful stamps, because here in the UK we seriously lack in pretty stamps! 

Pro Pack Prices are as followed:

One off monthly payments of:

$15 per month and free P&P to the US, or $3 shipping internationally

(Converts roughly to £9.61 + £1.92 shipping to the UK)

OR 

You can subscribe up front for longer, and save money:

$80 for 6 months and free P&P to the US, or $3 shipping per month internationally

(Converts roughly to £51.27 up front + £1.92 shipping to the UK per month)

There's also an option to subscribe for 12 months, you can find more information on all the subscription options here!

You lucky ducks can also get 15% off any order too! Just use the discount code: GREEN15

There were also a few other little things included in the bundle, a postcard which you can design/doodle on the front, and a really sweet quote card which I absolutely love!

Below is a photo of the full contents of the bundle! 

Overall I think this bundle is definitely worth the money. The variety you get and the work that's gone into the packaging is definitely worth the money! Even though it is a US company, I think the shipping is very reasonable, and it arrived in great condition (I'm always worried about things getting damaged when they have been shipped from overseas). So for your UK folk, this might be a good one for you! Of course any US folk, definitely go for it! Free shipping?! Win win for you guys.

I'm planning to use a lot of them in my creative journaling, as they are the perfect sizes, and the bigger ones would work brilliantly in my smashbooks, so I'm not worried at all about them not getting used!

Again don't forget to use the code GREEN15 for 15% off your order! I hope you guys liked having a nosey at what I received in this awesome little package!

Have a lovely day! - Daisy X
