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.

You can find The Reset Girl on her various social media below:

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!

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)

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!

Swci Stationery - UK Etsy Shop Share!


This is the last UK Etsy shop share I've got from the Sticker haul I did! (Of course I'll have other shares in the future, this is just number 5 out of 5 from the recent haul).
Say hello to Swci Stationery! This shop is run by the lovely Lorraine, who doesn't just sell stickers. There's a range of different stationery items available on her shop, so make sure to check our everything she has available.
But I'm here today to tell you about her stickers!
Lorraine actually sent me some extras in my order to share with you, which should give you a better idea of all the adorable stickers she has available!


These are the ones I chose and bought myself! I chose three sheets:


As you may know by now, I have a thing for popcorn stickers.. It's a snack I love, and I like having a variety of stickers available when I'm journaling about film watching and popcorn eating!
The Donut and Coffee stickers were definitely an 'omg they are so stinkin' cute' purchase. I'm not a coffee drinker, but considering these aren't specifically designs as coffee cups I think I'll be able to use them for other things :)


The Piggy Bank sticker sheet I really liked, the main reason being that the money was in pounds! Something you rarely come across when there's so many sticker shops that aren't from the UK. This means I can use them, and they will make sense. I plan to use these in my journal when either I've spent a lot or made a lot of money (lets face it, I'll be using them more for when I've purchased something haha).


These were the extras that Lorraine included in my order! (Thank you so much again for all the loveliness you sent!) My favourite out of them all has to be the cameras, again by now you should know that I love my camera stickers too. I find I use them a lot, so having a variety to choose from definitely comes in handy!
These stickers give you a good idea of the range she has available, they are definitely more on the adorable side of the sticker scale, yet they are still very practical. They could be used for decorating or planning.


Lorraine has provided me with a discount code for you all to use!
You can get 10% off any order of £5+ with the code DAISY10
(this expires at the end of September 2015)

*Please note that some of these stickers were sent to me for free to review/share. Though I did buy some with my own money. All views & opinions shared are 100% my own.

Michelle and Patch - UK Etsy Shop Share!


Today I have number four out of the five UK Etsy Sticker shops to share with you! This is Michelle and Patch. These designs are so beautiful!! If I was to describe the style, I would say they are neat and dainty. Which appeals to me greatly, I love this style and I'm so glad I came across Michelle's shop!


The sticker sheets I chose were:

♥ Notebook/Planner Sheet (£1.40).
♥ Ice Lollies Sheet (£1.50).
♥ Post Box Sheet (£1.50).
♥ Laptops Sheet (£1.50).

I was also sent a couple of extra sample stickers, shown in the above photo!
(Some of the sheets are out of stock, so I'm unable to provide a link at this time. )


The colours on all the sheets were incredibly vibrant, and there is so much detail in each design.
Being a UK based shop, the post boxes are accurate to the style we have here, which I really love. I will be using these little post boxes in my journal to document sending out happy mail! The lollies were just a must. I am a sucker for an ice lolly, no matter what time of the year it is, so again these will be great to use in my journal.


I decided to go for some Autumn style bunting stickers seeing as bunting is easy to use on any project, plus most of the time it comes in really summery/'fun' colours, and no so much autumnal.
The Day Out car stickers I had to get, whether it's a shopping trip or a trip to somewhere more fun, I know I'll be able to use these. When you work from home, a trip out anywhere is classed as a 'day out', because it can get tedious living and working in the same place every day!


If you are after fun, colourful stickers that can be used in planning or journaling (or any other projects you may be doing) then definitely have a nosey at her shop!
The prices are very reasonable and there's plenty of designs to choose from!

The offers Michelle and Patch currently have running are:
Free shipping on all orders over £20 to the UK, with the code: FREESHIP20
Free shipping on all orders over £35 internationally, with the code: FREESHIP35

The Library Designs - UK Etsy Shop Share!


Today I've got number three out of the five UK Etsy Sticker Shops I want to share with you guys!
This is The Library Designs, Georgina the owner designs all of her stickers by hand and I love the 'sketchy' style that gives. I love finding shops like this, because you know the designs won't be found anywhere else!


The three sheets I chose were:


You get quite a few stickers on each sheet, but compared to many of the other stickers I bought from other shops, these ones are small! I like this though, with all the stickers I've bought recently it's good to have some that are this size. I don't always have space for big stickers, so this size will definitely come in handy!


With my order I received a little freebie with some super adorable flowers and bees on! I also got a discount code for me to use on a future order. I love little sample sheets like this, it's definitely made me want to get some of her bunting stickers, and I'd love to get my hands on more of the flower stickers, but I'm not 100% sure if she sells that design on her shop.


Overall I was very happy with these stickers and cannot wait to start using them! Georgina, the owner of The Library Designs did provide me with a discount code for you guys, the code is MYGREENCOW10 and that will get you 10% off your order! I'm sure there'll be something on her shop you would like, I know she does a few designs for the Harry Potter fans too!
