Sticker Subscriptions

I recently started subscribing to several sticker clubs after debating with myself over it for a long while, so I thought I would give my take on each of the three clubs that I currently subscribe to -- Stickii Club, Pipsticks, and Sticky Kit.

Stickii Club:

Stickii club is the first kit that I subscribed to. I bought one of their kits from their online store before subscribing and I have been a member of this club for a while now. This one arrives just a few days after it is shipped and they have two different shipping dates a month. They have one kit available, but with three different themes you can choose from:

-Cute Pack-
Kawaii/Warm/Pastel

-Retro Pack-
Vintage/Earthy/Nostalgic

-Pop Pack-
Bright/Trendy/Cool

All packs include:
5-6 Sticker Sheets
1 Sticker Flakes Bag
2-3 Stationery Items
Stickii Storage
$10/mo +shipping

They give sneak peeks of each pack at the beginning of the month so that you can decide which pack you want that month. I typically rotate between the cute pack and the pop pack! Those two have been my favorite so far. Sometimes, if I can't decide, I will add one of the packs for that month only.

Pipsticks:

I subscribed to Pipsticks after receiving a coupon code, so figured I would give it a whirl. The first month I received the welcome pack, and the pack that everyone gets their first month includes all of their most popular stickers. They recently changed their shipping method and it arrives a lot faster and there is only one shipping date a month now! They don't have monthly themes, so the stickers are always just a randomized assortment. They have several different kits you can subscribe to each month:

-Pro Club Classic-
15 Sheets of Stickers & Goodies
$17.95/mo 

-Pro Club Petite-
7 Sheets of Stickers & Goodies
$11.95/mo 

-Kid's Club Classic-
15 Sheets of Stickers & Goodies
$17.95/mo 

-Kid's Club Petite-
7 Sheets of Stickers & Goodies
$11.95/mo 

All of their subscription packages come in a reusable holographic pouch, a subscriber raffle ticket, an issue of "Pippy" (sticker club zine), access to the Sticker Club Facebook Group, exclusive Coupons & Printables, and 5% off in their online shop! The kids subscription club has stickers geared more towards kids, but lets be honest... it's stickers. I am sure you would love them as an adult too!

They also offer a printables subscription you can subscribe to.

Sticky Kit:

Sticky Kit was the last one that I subscribed to. I never received my January one and after about six weeks, I emailed them to let them know and they said they typically charge to send a replacement kit but would not this time. It definitely bummed me out that they were going to charge me again after not even receiving my first kit. However, they made it right so I was happy. The following week, my February kit arrived and it was "mail" themed! I LOVED it! This kit arrived in less than two weeks, so I figured the first kit never arriving was a fluke. They offer three different types of kits you can subscribe to:

-Sticker Kit-
4-5 Sticker Sheets
1 Sticker Flakes Pack
Extra Stationery Item
$12.99/mo + $2 shipping

-Washi Kit-
3-4 Japanese Washi Tapes
Extra Stationery Item
$14.99/mo + $3 shipping

-Combo Kit-
All the Stickers
All the Washi
2 Extra Stationery Items
$26.99/mo + $4 shipping

I like this subscription because everything is from Japanese companies, so it is stuff you won't be able to find locally as easily. I also like that each month is based on a certain theme.

Overall, I think they are all three amazing sticker subscriptions and you can't go wrong with any of the three. I would have to say that out of the three, my overall favorite for the value and items included is the kit from Stickii Club! All three of them renew automatically and can be cancelled at any time, which is a plus for me!

So, if you are in the market to sign up for a sticker subscription I hope this post helped, and honestly, since you can cancel at any time, why not give them all a try and see what you think!

Vintage Flora Colors-Paper Source

Have you guys seen the new paper bar colors that Paper Source released at the beginning of March?

These beautiful colors are part of their new Vintage Flora line! I went to the store already, and picked myself up a pack of each color in the envelopes! I can't wait to use them for my snail mail!



You can see all the products offered at the paper bar in this new color line on their website!

Which color do you like best?

Take ORF Postcards

The other night I picked up my husband from the airport and wanted to get a picture in front of the new LOVE sign they had in the baggage claim. (They have these LOVE signs all over the state of Virginia so if you ever find yourself in Virginia and want to find one of the signs, you can view the map of all their locations.)


They have a sign next to the giant LOVE sign advertising "Snap and Share your Love" along with 5 plastic holders holding "Sending Love" postcards for you to take.


This is the second postcard design that I have seen available now at the airport. I just love this idea so much. Grab a postcard and send a little love while you are waiting for a flight or picking someone up. I of course, grabbed a handful so I can mail them out to friends and family! 


The above, is the spring postcard in the series of "Sending Love" postcards available at Norfolk International Airport in Virginia. After doing a little research online, I found out this is the third postcard so far. They have had a Fall (I also have a handful of those), Winter and now Spring! I think they are very well designed and I look forward to hopefully seeing more designs available in the future!
