The Reset Girl Sticker Haul | March 2016

A couple of weeks ago The Reset Girl had a big sale on her stickers! There was 40% off plus free worldwide shipping! Soooooo I went for it. I'm pretty sure I only ended up spending £9 something for everything you see in this post. It was a great chance to try out these beautiful stickers I'd seen about on Instagram, and I'm very tempted to go back for more.

Something I'd always known about The Reset Girl, is that her branding is absolutely beautiful. Everything ties in nicely with one another, the website, packaging and products, everything is just so pretty!

You guys know me, and you know I love colour. So it's safe to say I'll be keeping a lot of the packaging to smashbook and reuse! I'll leave links to all of The Reset Girl's social media and shop at the bottom of this blogpost.

So the first thing I wanted to share with you was the freebies! Everyone loves a freebie!

There was a postcard which had a little thank you, and her links on. There was then a blank postcard with 'Planners gotta plan' on it (safe to say I'll be hoarding this for a while haha!), there was a smaller card with 'oxoxoxoxox etc.' on it, which is about the size of a journaling card and I will most likely be using it in my journal. Next was a sample sticker sheet which had all the different colours from all of her sticker collections on, they are little square stickers so I'm sure I'll easily find a use for those, and last of all there was a fortune teller fish! Just a little bit of fun added in there.

When I was choosing stickers, I went with journaling in mind. I use my journals much more creatively compared to my planners. Most of the stickers I chose were in the 'Free Spirit' collection, which I was definitely drawn to thanks to the colours! The 'today' banners are something that can be used as a little extra on a journaling page. Sometimes I don't always know what to caption a photo with, or I don't have a sticker which says the 'right' thing, so a today sticker will always fill that gap. I then got these little motivational flag stickers, I love what they all say. I feel like they are very reflective phrases, and will be nice little reminders to add to a page.

Again the sheet on the left has lots of motivational phrases on it, but there's also a few planning stickers there. Of course I'm unlikely to use them for planning, but I'm pretty sure I will find a use for them on my other projects. I just thought it would be nice to have a few different shapes to choose from though which is why I went for this sheet.

These other 'today' banners are from the 'Cutie' collection. I thought I'd end up using the 'today' stickers quite a lot, so it would be best to get some more in a different style. I definitely prefer the fonts used on the 'free spirit' collection though, which is why I only got one sheet from the 'cutie' collection.

This was the last sheet I bought, and it was the only one which was matt, the rest were all glossy. I'm not really sure why, I doesn't really make any difference to me but it might be something to double check when you are making a purchase, as I didn't actually realise until they arrived.

I couldn't really pass this sheet up, I absolutely love stickers like this with fun phrases on. They are perfect to use on a page, next to a photo, or at the end of a block of writing to sum things up. 

Overall I'm very impressed with these stickers, and all the effort that's gone into the packaging.

I think one of the best things about The Reset Girl's shop is, if you are purchasing just stickers, then the shipping is free! No matter where you are from.

If you add anything else other than stickers to your cart though, the minimum shipping to the UK is $13.50.

So yes! I hope you liked seeing what I got, I'm excited to use these in my journals and on my projects. I can definitely recommend them, I received excellent service, and the sticker quality is brilliant!

The Plump Planner - UK Etsy Shop Share!

The Plump Planner is another sticker shop that specialises in planner stickers, but a large majority of them can be used for journaling as well as planning, which is why I decided to buy some. They are stickers which aren't measured or made to fit any type of planner in particular, which is something I really love! They are a good size, so whether they are being used in a big/small, planner or journal, they don't look out of place.

You also get a lot on each sheet! The sheets arrive chopped in half so they fit nicely in the envelope and don't get damaged.

I went for three sheets from the shop:

♥ Rainy Day - set of 69 Stickers (£1.95)

♥ Cameras - set of 40 Stickers (£1.95) 

♥ Cinema Set - set of 89 Stickers (£1.95)

(Camera set isn't available right now, so I can't provide a link)

As I said before, each sheet comes with a lot of stickers! I've realised that the quantity you get on each sheet depends on the size of each sticker.

The Cinema set came with two different styles of popcorn stickers, cinema ticket stickers and film reel stickers! So there's quite a variety in that set. I worked out it would be perfect for all different kinds of film watching, whether you are at home watching films or going out to the cinema!

I couldn't resist this set! I think it's my favourite out of the lot. Seeing as summer is pretty much finished here in the UK, the rainy days are outweighing the sunny ones. So these wellies and umbrellas are going to be used a LOT I'm sure! They're the perfect little addition to a journaling page. 

The last set I got was a load of cameras, I take photos all the time of everything. I particularly love heading out on a walk and seeing what awesome photos I can come back with. There's something really satisfying about getting home after a long walk, going through the photos you've taken and finding one that you are really proud of!

Karen, the owner of The Plump Planner has provided me with a discount code for you guys!
You can get 10% off your order with the code PLUMP1There's a lot of wonderful stickers available, and as I said before these can be used in a range of different planners!

Ankepanke!

Today I have another beautiful package of goodies to share with you all, this time it is from a shop called Anke Panke!

Talk about snazzy packaging ay?! I absolutely love this mailing bag, it’s sooo shiny!

Something I always appreciate with companies is the way they package their products. 

Little touches like the ‘FUN MAIL!’ sticker just makes me smile, and if I’m smiling before I’ve even opened it, then first impressions have gone well!

When I came across Ankepanke on Etsy, I fell in love with her adorable designs and products! I found that she had a website and I just had to get in touch.
The stamp sets I chose, I had just one thing in mind to use them for, journaling!

We've all seen those emoji stamps that are about (I'm yet to get my hands on some), but what's better than summing your day up with an emoji stamp? A CAT EXPRESSION STAMP THAT'S WHAT!
How adorable are they?!

I hoped these Kitty stamps would fit in my Ban.do planner, in the monthly section, and they do! They fit in them perfectly. I was on the fence as to how to use those monthly pages, but now I can just sum up each day with a Cat expression! I'll also decorate the pages with the usual washi and stickers, but I'm so glad I have something fun to use these pages for now!

One of the extras Anke sent in the package were these brilliant Chalkboard word stickers! I absolutely love them they will be perfect to caption photos in my scrapbook, or even on the bottom of polaroid photos, they are such a great size. Another little detail which was just adorable was the piece of card that was in the package to make sure everything stayed flat, it had this little illustration on. Little touches like this that really make me smile!

The other stamp set I received was the Tape Stamp Set, I was super excited to play around with this, I could think of so many uses for it! I especially like the idea of using a lighter coloured ink to stamp them with, then stamping a fun word stamp on top in black ink!

I really loved the variety of patterns there is in a pack, and also the mixture of 'lighter' stamps (like the 5th one down on the left hand side) and 'darker' stamps (like the 6th one down on the left hand side) there is.

They also sit in the monthly sections in my Ban.do planner absolutely perfectly. If you are wondering the boxes in the Ban.do planner are 42mm wide, the Tape stamps are 36mm wide. I can highly recommend the Tape stamps for any planners out there, to fill in gaps decoratively or highlighting things (using a light colour ink so the text would show up obviously haha). 

Of course I had to try them out, and I have to say I'm REALLY impressed. Acrylic stamps can be rubbish quality (they might not stick to the block, or they're too squishy), but these one are proper quality! They aren't too squishy, and I really enjoyed using them.
I think my coloured ink pads need a bit of TLC though, as the Tape stamps didn't come out as well in the colours, but I tried them with the black and they were perfect!

Anke also sent me a couple of her postcards, which again are just as beautifully designed as the rest of her products! I'm going to have to keep the pink one which says 'have an awesome day!', to display on my future studio room when I eventually move out!

Overall, I think Anke's shop is absolutely beautiful, and the prices are very reasonable!
She is based in the Netherlands but of course ships to the UK.

I will link all the products I was sent below:

Kitty Stamps (€9/£6.25)
Tape Stamps (€9/£6.25)
Chalkboard Word Stickers (€3/£2.08)
Awesome Day Postcard (€1/£0.69)
Cake Postcard (€0.50/£0.35)

To give you an idea of how brilliantly reasonable the prices are (especially considering you would be purchasing from a shop outside of the UK)

If you were to order all the products linked above, it works out at around £22.21 for the items, tax and shipping to the UK!

If you were to order just one of the stamp sets, it works out at around £8.64 for the items, tax and shipping to the UK!
(Prices are approx, I used the google currency converter to roughly work them out)

I can assure you that these stamp sets are amazing quality and well worth the money, plus you would be getting a very unique design. Anke's shop is completely beautiful, so even if the above items don't interest you, she has a wide range available so you might find yourself a gem.
