FAQ: Printable Stickers
WHY PRINTABLE?
I live in Australia, most of my customers live in the USA and shipping is very expensive and takes a long time! I conducted a poll in this post and most of the feedback was that customers would not be willing to wait the amount of time it takes to deliver mail from Australia to the USA. Printable means I can offer the designs at a cheaper price than printed stickers and, once you purchase the file you can print the stickers as many time as you like for your personal use. If you run out of stickers just print another sheet… or 10 😉 Printable files are like the gift that keeps on giving!
All of my sticker files are affordably priced and you get get a bargain if your purchase the Get it All sticker bundle!

WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THE STICKERS?
A sample of sticker designs are available in my Etsy store. All are available in the online store.

WHAT LABEL/STICKER PAPER SHOULD I USE?
You can buy full sheet label paper from:
Worldlabel (Worldwide but expensive shipping to Australia)
Online Labels they even have metallic label paper (which I am dying to try!) (Worldwide but expensive shipping to Australia)
Office Depot (US only)
Amazon (Worldwide but expensive shipping to Australia)
Walmart (US only)
Officeworks (Australia only)
Staples (US and Australia)
Ebay (Worldwide)
Labelsbythesheet (US only)
Sheet Labels (US only)
And of course, Avery.
I have found that the ‘unofficial’ label paper (i.e. anything but Avery) is cheaper and works just the same! Most are compatible with both inkjet and laser printers but be sure to check before purchasing.
Matte sticker paper is easier to write on that Glossy. You can also purchase repositionable sticker paper.
I purchase my label paper off Ebay.
0.5 x 0.5″ square stickers fits 270 stickers per 8.5 x 11″ sheet. You can purchase full sheet re-positionale label paper for 30c a sheet or 0.001c per sticker! Shops selling printed and cut stickers charge $4 for around 30 stickers of the same size. You also need to pay shipping on top of that. And wait for them to arrive in the mail. With printable stickers you receive them within minutes of your purchase. An added bonus – the Australian Dollar is currently only buying around 75cUSD this means, because of the exchange rate, if you live in the USA these stickers are actually even cheaper! (I live in Australia)

WHAT ARE EDITABLE STICKERS?
Currently, the only editable stickers are the morning/day/night section titles.
EDITABLE PDF FILES:
– When you open the file there will be light blue boxes where you can type in your information (this will NOT remain light blue when printed).
– You can still print and hand-write on the sheets (the blue boxes won’t appear on your printed copy)
– The fillable font is helvetica in black
– For copyright protection, the layout of the documents, including existing text cannot be changed
– You CAN save information typed into the PDF. I recommend saving the original version as ‘blank’ if you would like to make multiple sticker sheets.
– You will need a computer (not an ipad or iphone) to open and edit PDF files.
__________________________________
FILE FORMAT
Most of the stickers come in 2 file format:
PDF: If it’s not already installed on your computer you will need to download it here (it’s free!). Note: You will need a computer to open and print PDF files.
JPG: this file format is compatible for use with your silhouette cutting machine and printing at home (print the sticker sheet/image as a full page photo)

HOW DO I PRINT THE STICKERS?
These instructions will work for any of the planner / calendar stickers available in my shop including:
- 5 x 0.5” Square stickers
- Erin Condren ‘Full Box’ stickers
- 1 inch x 0.5 inch ‘write-on’ stickers
I am going to demonstrate using the 1.5inch x 0.5inch stickers. These stickers are formatted for printing onto these letter size sticker sheets so you can easily print them from home. Or you can just print onto normal copy paper or cardstock and use glue to adhere, more on that below.
As always I recommend doing a test print onto a piece of scrap paper before printing multiple sheets onto sticker paper.
Note that all printers are different. I am using a Canon printer – if you are using a different brand your printer menu may display a little differently. There are so many different types of printers out there I do not know how to use every printer so unfortunately I may not be able to help if you have problems printing. Please follow the step-by-step guide below if you are having difficulties. Want to consult your printer manual but can’t remember where you put it? See this website to view free printer manuals for any type of printer.
Printing the PDF File onto Letter Size Paper
1. Open the file. Go to the top left hand corner, press file and then print.
2. The printer menu will open.
Make sure ‘actual size’ is selected then click on ‘properties’
3. A new menu will open – change the page size to letter size
I have not noticed a difference between printing on ‘standard’ and ‘high’ print quality settings
4. Press ‘OK’ to close that menu, then press ‘Print’
Printing the PDF File onto A4 Size Paper
If, like me, you live in Australia, you can still use these. The only change is the amount of white space around the design. The stickers are in no way affected and still print perfectly! 🙂
1. Open the file. Go to the top left hand corner, press file and then print.
2. The printer menu will open.
Make sure ‘actual size’ is selected then click on ‘properties’
3. Change the page size to A4
5. Click OK. The first menu will now look like this
I have not noticed a difference between printing on ‘standard’ and ‘high’ print quality settings
4. Press ‘OK’ to close that menu, then press ‘Print’
Note: if you live in Australia and keeping the stickers at 1.5″ wide is important – make sure you print using the PDF file as I have found the JPG file alters the size of the stickers to 1.6″ long… or maybe that’s just my printer. This size printing error also occurred even if I un-checked the ‘fit picture to frame’ button so if maintaining the exact size is important to you please print using the PDF!
Printing the JPG File
1. Open the JPG and click the black arrow (point down) next to ‘print’
2. A new window will appear. Click on ‘options’ then ‘printer properties’ this will take you into the same printer menu as for printing a PDF. Change the paper size if need be. Click on ‘options’ in the bottom right and make sure the correct page size and print quality if you wish to print on ‘high quality’ is selected.
3. IMPORTANT: when I print the stickers using the the jpg they did not print correctly when the ‘fit picture to frame’ box was ticked so be sure to UNTICK this box! This is what worked for my printer – yours may be different. As always I recommend doing a test print onto a piece of scrap paper and in greyscale before printing multiple sheets onto sticker paper as all printers work differently (I also recommend writing down or taking screenshots of the printer options you selected so you can refer back to them if needed).

WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE STICKER PAPER?
Buy it! Seriously it’s worth it. If you don’t want to buy a lot you can order a few sheets from Labelsbythesheet. Label paper is very inexpensive if purchased in bulk e.g. from OnlineLabels
If you do not have label paper you can print onto normal printer paper and use glue or glue tape to adhere. I would recommend cardstock though as the colours print more vibrantly and are not see-through on thicker paper. I recommend ‘quill board’ which is thicker than copy paper at 210GSM. I also use this for printable notecards. You can buy it at Officeworks. I’m sure places like Staples in the US sells something similar. Even though it’s thicker than normal copy paper it doesn’t jam my printer. Amazon also sells cardstock.
Another option is to cut contact paper to letter size, peel back the sticky edge and stick the printed stickers to the contact sticker i.e. order will be: contact paper, printed stickers and then the back of the contact paper. I recommend trimming the white edge off the printed stickers so the contact paper stickers to the back (non-sticky side that comes with the contact paper). Cut or punch out as needed then peel back for stickers. Not sure if contact paper is called the same thing in the USA but this looks similar.
__________________________________
CUTTING YOUR STICKERS
I have found that the most efficient method of cutting is to:
1) Cut off the white space on the top, bottom and sides
2) Cut the remaining into strips horizontally going across the width of the page
3) Cut the smaller strips still using your paper trimmer or using scissors.
The reason I cut horizontally is that there is less to cut (as you are cutting the width not the length of the sticker which is longer) but it is up to you to cut whichever way works best for you!
Tip: I print off sticker sheets then cut them during ad breaks while watching TV. I have found that I can cut up to 3 sticker sheets at once using my guillotine.
__________________________________
WHAT DO YOU USE TO CUT THE STICKERS?
I use a guillotine I purchased a few years back. I can’t remember where I bought it from but it is similar to this one. I prefer that style of paper trimmer to this style as I find it easier to see where I’m cutting and easier to cut multiple sheets at once.
For the flag stickers I use scissors for the flag ends. If you want round stickers I recommend using a craft punch such as this one. Medium size scissors are preferable as the blade is too large on large scissors and I’ve found small scissors make my hand cramp after about 5 sticker sheets.

How to Make DIY Planner Stickers with Silhouette Studio or Cameo
Customers often ask me if they can use the printable stickers with their silhouette machine. The answer is yes! Stickers in my shop are sold in both JPG and PDF file formats. There are many tutorials on the internet that show you how you can print and cut stickers using your silhouette with a JPG file.
1. Open the JPG file into your silhouette studio software
2. Reduce the size of the sticker sheet if needed to fit 8.5 x 11″ page size
3. ‘Show’ registration marks
4. As the JPG sticker sheets are not pre-formatted to print using the silhouette, you may need to reduce the size of the sticker sheet slightly (hold down shift and drag inwards to maintain the stickers’ proportions e.g. square shape). If you do not want their size to reduce, then do not resize and just let some of the stickers get cut off the page when they print OR crop out the white space and some of the stickers so they fit within the registration marks
5. Trace around the stickers to create cut marks
6. Print the stickers onto full sheet sticker paper
7. Change your blade settings as advised by your Silhouette machine
I do not own a silhouette machine. I cannot justify the cost when it only takes me 5 minutes to cut (I use a guillotine) a sticker sheet with 270 stickers such as these which will keep me organized all year long. Lately, I have taken to printing and cutting 3 sheets of the half inch square stickers at a time making the process even quicker! The 1.5″ long x 0.5″ high stickers are designed to print on this sticker paper from online labels, or you can print and cut by hand, using an exacto knife, paper trimmer, scissors ect. Instant download printable files also means instant gratification, free shipping, no waiting for the postman and if you run out of stickers just print another sheet! 🙂

Printable Budget Planner/Finance Binder Update
If you follow my blog you may remember the post I did 2 years ago (how time flies) on my finance binder. Since that post my budget planner has undergone some major revamps (both from my personal budgeting style and queries from customers) and the finance set has now been updated and expanded to the new and improved Budget Binder – it now has 207 printables! And all pages are EDITABLE except the covers and dividers!
(Click the images below to enlarge the previews, then click the back button to return to this post!)
I may have gone a bit overboard – 4 types of bill pay checklists anyone? I figure everyone doesn’t plan the same way so I’ve included all the styles of each type (e.g. bill pay checklists, budgets, spending trackers) that I created when experimenting with what planner pages worked best for me. With so many options you can pick which printables would best for YOU and your approach to budgeting and money management.
The kit has been expanded to include the following:
– Income
– Spending
– Budgeting
– Tax
– Debt
– Finance Calendars
– Savings
– Banking
– Investments
– Goals
– Dividers for Your Binder/Planner
There are multiple planning pages for different planning styles. For example, you may prefer to use calendars to track when bills are due, or you may prefer to see how much you’ve paid for all your bills for the entire year on the one page. The pages are designed to appeal to everyone so there will probably be more pages than you need. For example, try tracking your bills using one type of planner and if you find it’s not working for you, you can switch to one of the other layouts. Planner pages I felt needed more room are in landscape orientation, but I have also created portrait page orientation versions for those that prefer that page format.
I cannot show previews of all included pages as I have had people copying designs from some of my other planner sets. I’d just like to remind people that this is COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT and it is ILLEGAL. Ok, now that we’ve cleared that up, here is a list of everything that’s included!

INCLUDED
– Covers & spines – Budgeting Planning, Budget Binder, Finance Binder, Finances
– Optional Personalised Cover Page & Spine – please mention the wording you would like in the notes to seller when checking out e.g. Smith Family Budget Binder’, Dana’s Finances ect.
INCOME
– Income tracker – perfect if you have multiple income streams or just want to keep track of when you receive your paychecks and a running total of your income for the year. Can be used for any duration – daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually ect.
* Also refer to the budgeting section
SPENDING
– Recurring Expenses – Due Dates – put this at the front of your binder or in front of your calendar when planning when you need to transfer funds/pay online. Can be used not only for bills but any recurring expense e.g. car payments, mortgage payments ect. . in notes you may put e.g. car registration renewed 26 apr frequency e.g. quarterly, annually, monthly, fortnightly ect. – I recommend using one per year, or notes may be this bill is split 50/50 if you are living in a share house. 2nd page has January to june and space to record when that expense was paid (e.g. either the date or a cross below the month)
– Fixed & Variable Expenses – use this per person, for the whole family, monthly, quarterly, annually ect. record fixed expenses in thenotes you may say recurring monthly or the monthly amount if you put the total amount in the amount column. Use monthly or annually recommended. See where you money is going nad how you can possibly cut back 0 good initial budgeting rool or review every year to see if spending is on track
– Payments (4 pages) – 1 page per quarter – record what the payment is for, when it is due, amount and confirmation number or cheque number
– Payments with confirmation, cheque or transaction number – use for bills, car repayments ect. in notes you might write automatic deduction – use one page for all expenses or use one page per type of expense e.g. one page for internet bills. In the notes you can record e.g. automatic deduction, whose account was used to pay the bill ect.
– 2 page expense anything
Need a more detailed way to track spending for each category before recording into your monthly budget? This page can be used to track how much you’re spending on groceries, fuel, clothes ect. e.g. then total each week’s spending to determine the total amount spent that month and transfer to one of the monthly budgets, or transfer it weekly if you do weekly budgeting.
If you have multiple incomes, these pages can also be used to record tax paid each week (or just leave the weekly columns blank and record the monthly amount in the total column), or, if you are self- employed, you can budget or record how much to set aside for tax each week, based on your earnings.
You could also use it as a savings goal tracker e.g. if you’re saving up for a car, a house, retirement planning, investments ect.
These pages can probably be used for many other ways, these are just a few suggestions! The best part about printables? Once purchased they’re yours to print endlessly for your PERSONAL USE so if you need more room to write just print another page/s.
– Upcoming expenses – record when major payments are due e.g. car registration, rates, taxes ect. so you can budget accordingly – write the date due in the smaller column and the expense in the larger column under each month. If you know how much each expense is going to cost, you may prefer the annual expenses page
– Paid Bills Checklist v3 (2 pages with 6 months per page) – space to record the date when each bill (or payment) is due, the bill amount for each month (can also be used for quarterly bills) with a box to check off when the bill has been paid.
– Paid bills checklist v.5 – this page is an updated version of the original paid bills checklist. It can be used for bills or any type of payment e.g. loan repayments.
– Paid Bills Checklist – Same as above but with an extra column to record the amount of the bill – good for fixed payments/bills such as your phone plan, rent ect.
– Online Payments
– BPAY Account Details – Handy reference page for my fellow Australian’s who use BPAY
– BPAY Payments
DAILY SPENDING – Refer to:
– The spending record which can be used for any duration – refer to the ‘any duration spending’ section below
– The the finance calendar with daily spending (refer to the ‘monthly’ section below)
– The daily budget – refer to the ‘budget’ section below
WEEKLY SPENDING
– Weekly Payments Tracker – e.g. if you pay your rent weekly, car payments ect. – can be used for any expense – also another method of recording mortgage payments and can also record additional payments you make through the year.
– Weekly Spending – 2 page spread (portrait page orientation – Sunday and Monday start versions included) for recording each day’s spending including the amount, description, who it was paid to and budget category (to make transferring into your monthly budget easier). It also includes a weekly summary for recording any bills and debt payments you made, as well as investments, savings, income ect. You can also compare your totals with your daily and weekly budget.
FORTNIGHTLY SPENDING
– Fortnightly Payments Tracker – same as above but for fortnightly payments.
MONTHLY SPENDING
– Monthly income and expenses – landscape (2 pages – 6 months on each page) – good for comparing expenses that occur each month e.g. groceries, fuel. Record the total for each category from each month’s budget here, before totaling again and transferring into your annual summary.
CALENDARS
Some of you like the monthly calendar with daily spending from the ‘simple planner’ series (no chevrons) finance kit. So I’ve added it back in.
– Perpetual Monthly finance calendar with daily spending (Monday and Sunday start versions – landscape page orientation – 2 pages)
– Perpetual finance calendar – with side columns to check off payments and bills when paid throughout the month as well as a monthly summary i.e. total income, expenses, savings ect. (Monday and Sunday start versions – landscape page orientation – 2 pages)
If you use calendars to track expenses, I find writing down not only when bills, repayments ect. are due, but also payday/s then working backwards from due dates to determine what days to pay bills or other expenses so they are paid on time and to ensure there will be enough in the account/s to pay the expense. When a payment is made, I also record the payment method e.g. ‘B’ for bank transfer, ‘CC’ for credit card, ‘C’ for cash ect. I made these alphabet stickers (I scaled them to 50% so they printed at 0.25 x 0.25″ instead of 0.5 x 0.5″) but you can also just type or write instead.
– Landscape calendars – perpetual (one page per calendar, both Monday and Sunday start version included – 24 pages) space to add days – up to 3 payments/bills due can be checked off per day
ANNUAL SPENDING
– Paid bills checklist (portrait page orientation) – tick off recurring bills of the same amount
– Paid bills checklistSame as above but landscape page orientation
– Annual expenses – similar to the ‘upcoming expenses’ page but spread over 2 pages (6 months per page) with an extra column to record the amount.
ANY DURATION SPENDING
– Spending record – can be used for any period e.g. monthly or weekly or you can use one page per category e.g. groceries
– Payments checklist – 2 page portrait spread – if you want to keep all your payments in the same sheet, I recommend using this printable. It can also be used for bills, car payments, loan repayments ect.
Record the frequency and the amount you budgeted for each bill. There is space to record the actual amount paid each month, quarter ect. As the year progresses, compare the actual amounts paid against the budgeted amount. Then use the average of the amounts paid (the notes column can be used to record this) to determine the amount to budget for next year, or review more frequently if need be.
The title box on the second page is blank so you can type in the year or month, type of payments (e.g. business or personal), expense category, duration e.g. January ect. If you fill up the page – the best part about these being printable is that you can print them as many times as you need, for your personal use!
– Spending tracker (with amount left to record if you are on track). There is space to write your category if you want to use one page for each type of expense e.g. food, housing ect. or there is space to record the duration the record is for if you prefer to combine all expenses on the one sheet

WEEKLY BUDGETING
– Weekly budgeting – For those who want to keep it simple and see everything on the one page – record income, payments (bills, loan repayments ect.) for each week (write the day on the small line, check off when the payment has been made, describe the payment on the longer line and the amount on the right). Each day you can record spending – describe the transaction in the larger space underneath each day and the amount in the space on the right, then total everything and record in the summary section. You can then transfer the total for each week to your monthly budget.

MONTHLY BUDGETING

This budget can be use for any duration – weekly, fortnightly, monthly ect. The title box on each page is editable so you can type in the month, week or dates the budget is for (or just type e.g. ‘Our Family Budget’ ‘2015 Budget’ or whatever wording you like)
‘Filled in’ means expenses are categorised (refer to the image below) e.g. food, housing, education, clothing, healthcare ect. There is also a section for recording savings, investments ect. Each category has space to record subtotals and on the last page is a summary (monthly income, expenses, end of period’s balance, last period’s balance, running total for the year) so you can compare how your budget is progressing throughout the year.
Note: The number of lines for each category varies. I have allocated e.g. more space/lines to utilities for example, than clothing
– Budget – Categorised – Blank – same as above but the categories are removed so you can type in your own

Or, if I had a credit card provided by a company that offers loyalty points for every purchase you make e.g. Qantas, I would record spend $___ and get ___ bonus points ect.
– Account info

There is additional note space if you need to write further details about the investment.

Each time you purchase shares in the company, record the purchase date, qty, price paid per share, sale price, sale date and profit or loss.

All pages are editable except the covers and dividers. What does Editable mean?…
EDITABLE DOCUMENTS
– When you open the file there will be light blue boxes where you can type in your information (this will NOT remain light blue when printed)
– You can still print and hand-write on the sheets (the blue boxes won’t appear on your printed copy)
– The fillable font is helvetica in black
– The checkboxes are not editable. The sheets are intended for filling out on your computer and checking off by hand
– The covers, dividers and spines are not editable
– For copyright protection, the layout of the documents, including existing text cannot be changed
If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed and not sure where to start I would make a list of all the things you need to keep track of e.g. bills on a monthly basis, spending on a weekly basis, fortnightly paydays, weekly savings, annual financial goals, budgeting on a monthly basis ect. which will help you narrow down which pages you need.
Using the dividers
Depending on how much paperwork/how big your household is, you may need more than one binder or notebook. Some dividers may actually be ‘covers’. I recommend the following:
– Store receipts in a separate binder and within that binder by category e.g. groceries, gifts, ect.
– One binder for insurances – life, health, car ect.
– One for bills – water, electricity, gas, cable
– Keep business income and spending separate to your family’s income
– Keep tax documents separate – and use the ‘his’ and ‘hers’ dividers
– Keep investments separate
– Keep retirement fund separate
Assembling your Planner
I recommend the:
– Arc Notebook system or Levenger (allows you to remove and rearrange pages as often as you like)
– 3 ring binders
– Mini binders (the pages are full size, for half size printing instructions, please see this post)
– Coil, spiral or comb binding
– Filofax
– If you use the Erin Condren or Plum Paper Planners – you can print the pages at that size. please see this post for instructions.
I was previously using a 3 ring binder but found it was too bulky. I have since switched to the Arc Notebook. I use the A4 version as I live in Australia – it can be purchased from Staples.com.au (Staples often do discounts around back to school time. I think they also give you a voucher when you sign up). For USA readers, Staples.com stocks the letter size version. You can also get half size and A5 size versions. I have purchased both the poly and leather versions and much prefer the leather which costs more but is more sturdier and will last longer. The leather also comes in a range of colours: black, pink, blue and green. No I am not a spokesperson for the Arc system – I just really like the product!
What Pages Do I use?
I do not use all the pages. The pages are designed to appeal to everyone. Over the past 2 years I have been tweaking my budget/finance binder switching out and updating layouts of planner pages until I have found a system that works for me. For example, I do not do a daily budget but I do keep weekly, monthly and annual budgets. I do not budget by quarter but I have had customer requests for quarterly budget planners so I have created and added those to this set. There are plenty of options for any budgeting style as I think it is important that YOU choose which pages will work best for YOU otherwise you won’t use them!
Printing the Pages
The pages are A4 size. They can be printed at letter size, half size, A5, junior arc size, Filofax, personal size, Erin Condren planner size or any other size you like – please see this blog post for printing instructions and tips. For sheets with 1 page e.g. chequebook register, there are 2 copies of the same page in the PDF file if you would like to do duplex printing or ‘2 page page’ printing then cut the sheets in half for half size pages. You can also do duplex printing for those with multiple pages e.g. the categorised budget. Please see this blog post for printing instructions.

Printable Rainbow Calendar Stickers for Erin Condren Planner (or any type of planner)
Today’s post is for all you die-hard Erin Condren fans! You guys loved my calendar stickers so I’ve made stickers that are especially designed to fit the Erin Condren Life Planner! (They can also be used for other planners such as plum paper and my 2015 printable planners)
And for those of you who have asked for a smaller size for the other calendar stickers, please see this post which has helpful screenshots on how to change the page scaling (e.g. 100% to 50% will make them 0.375″in size.
UPDATE: New half inch (0.5″) square stickers are also available with each sheet featuring a different icon e.g. gas pump, dollar sign, laundry, trash can ect. Visit my Etsy store, AllAboutTheHouse for the full range. More stickers have also been added including triangle corner stickers, ECLP full box, daily sidebar and checklist stickers for the ECLP Horizontal version, flag stickers and much more!
These templates and designs take a long time to make and I have priced them affordably so you can add a special personalized touch to your planner without breaking your bank. Please do not abuse this and respect the time it takes to create these designs. These files are strictly for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
So, here are the newest stickers!
Morning/Day/Night Sections (but can be used in other sections of the planner – or in any planner) – The stickers are close together on the template making it easier if you are cutting them by hand or using a guillotine (which I recommend) or paper trimmer.
Full Box stickers for the white spaces underneath the Morning/Day/Night titles
Due Stickers – for school assessment due dates, bills to be paid, goals, to do’s ect. (they can be used daily, weekly or even monthly – whatever works best for you)
Tick List Stickers – can be used for to do lists, chores, goals, homework, work tasks, blogging to dos, bills to pay ect.
Checklist stickers – use for to do lists, chores, goals, homework, work tasks, blogging to dos, bills to be paid ect.
Weekly Stickers – Sunday and Monday start versions included – can be used for expense tracking, income tracking, meal planning, weight and measurements, calorie counting, number of steps, routine chores, prioritising most important task per day, gratitutde, medication/prescriptions, exercise for the week, hrs worked, hrs studied ect.
Numbered List – for priority to do lists, time scheduling ect.
Heart List Stickers – can be used for to do lists, chores, goals, homework, work tasks, blogging to dos, bills to pay ect.
Lined Stickers – for general note taking, do lists, chores, goals, homework, meal planning, work tasks, blogging to dos, bills to be paid ect. Need half box size? (for underneath each day) – just cut to size
Flag stickers – large and small – width will fit the width of the white boxes under the morning/day/night headings. The small flags can be used in any direction e.g. lengthways or vertically (as shown below).
Large Flags (for the sections underneath the Morning/Day/Night titles) – in rainbow (as shown) and grey
Small Flags – you can rotate and use these in whatever direction works best for you – they fit the width of the white box underneath the ‘morning, day, night’ titles – they come in rainbow and grey
0.25″ (quarter inch) Round Stickers – great for colour-coding. Cut into strips and use in the white boxes underneath the morning/day/night titles, or print a strip and place over the lined goals section on the side (if you need another size or e.g. 0.25″ square stickers ), please contact me
Bill Due/Payments stickers – write the bill and amount in the white space. I use a different colour for each type of bill e.g. pink = electricity, purple = phone ect.
Study – High school/college student stickers
Shop all calendar/planner stickers on Etsy or in the online store – there are now over 250 stickers to choose from!
If you just can’t get it enough, you can now purchase all planner stickers currently available for one low price! Visit the Etsy shop to purchase!
And for all the planner addicts, you can purchase all stickers and all chevron planner printable sets currently available here
UPDATE: Unfortunately I have had to remove the Get It All bundles due to customers computers not being able to handle the MASSIVE number of files (hundreds) through one download link resulting in me having to send them via email which meant I was actually losing money.
The Get It All planner bundle is still available. But the Get It All sticker bundles have now been replaced with Choose 5, Choose 10, Choose 15, Choose 30, the Mystery Bundle (which contains a lot of best sellers!) and the Sticker Subscription (you choose the duration for the subscription).
A note about printing: matte sticker paper is recommended if you want to write on the stickers. See here for a list of places to purchase label paper from. Re-positionable full sheet label paper is available from Staples among other places. I’ve found that buying label paper online is cheaper than in store. Online Labels sells 100 sheets for $30 or just 30c for a whole page of stickers!
I also get asked how I cut the stickers. I use a paper trimmer I purchased a few years back. I can’t remember where I bought it from but it is similar to this one. I prefer that style of paper trimmer to this style as I find it easier to see where I’m cutting and easier to cut multiple sheets at once. I print off sticker sheets, set up my paper trimmer in the front of the tv and by the end of a show I’ve cut all the stickers! For the flag stickers I use scissors for the flag ends. If you want round stickers I recommend using a craft punch such as this one.
These stickers are STRICTLY FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. NO COMMERCIAL USE is allowed including: reselling, printing and selling, sharing, giveaways and posting them on your blog for others to download. If someone you know would like a copy, please direct them to my store. You may NOT PROFIT FROM these stickers in any way – thank you for respecting the time it takes to create these designs!
I get a lot of enquires regarding if there is a printed and shipped to your door option for these stickers so I want to know:
I live in Australia – I know many of you live in the USA so the other thing I would like to know is:
I have some good news – you can also purchase the Photoshop templates I have created and make your own stickers. AND you CAN sell the stickers you make with the templates in digital and/or printed form. But you CANNOT sell the photoshop template, share, sell, giveaway (such as make directly available for download from your blog – please direct people to my store to purchase themselves if they are interested). If you are interested in purchasing, please contact me at allaboutthehouseetsy@yahoo.com.au
Customers often ask me how I make these stickers. To see if this would be feasible, please let me know how much you would pay for a comprehensive guide on how to make your own calendar stickers? (for personal and/or commercial use). I would include in the guide 5 different ways for making calendar stickers (with free and paid software) and where to buy sticker paper from (USA and Australia).
Are there any other sticker designs, colours or sizes you would like to see? If so, please comment below – I am a bit obsessed with making stickers at the moment!
For those of you who love washi tape, check out my sister’s Etsy store, CarefullyCraftedbyJo.
Because I am so grateful for my customers I’ve also made FREE dashboard printables! These use the same colour scheme as the Rainbow Planner and all of the calendar stickers.
The dashboards are 2.75″ wide x 6.75″ high which will fit pretty much any planner including: letter size planners, arc (letter size and junior size), A4, A5, filofax, portable daytimer, franklin covey, Plum Paper, both sizes of my Rainbow Planner and of course the Erin Condren life planner (or any of her notebooks ect.).
To make your dashboard
1. ‘Purchase‘ the template (it’s free – just add to cart and ‘checkout’) then print the template onto letter size 8.5 x 11″ or A4 size paper
To make double sided dashboard take 2 copies of the template e.g. one side the checklist, the other lined for notes and use double sided tape or glue tape (so the pages aren’t too fat to laminate) to adhere together before laminating. I recommend printing onto cardstock but this is not necessary.
2. Laminate
If you do not have a laminating machine – your local office supply store e.g. Staples, Officeworks ect. will do this for you inexpensively
3. Cut around the dashboard, leaving approx half an inch of laminate on one side for punching the holes
4. If using with your Erin Condren planner, you can purchase coil clips from her website. Otherwise use the Arc punch if you have an Arc notebook (this is what I did), or use a hole punch if you are using a 3 ring binder or similar.
5. Use dry erase markers or fine tip pens to write on and wipe clean with a cloth, tissue ect.
You can also print a bunch and turn them into a tear-off notepad. Add a magnet and place on your fridge for a grocery list, meal planning ect. There are many tutorials for how to do this, here are a few: Playful Learning, She Knows, Skip To My Lou, ChicandJo, agusyornet and ThreeBySea. When I made mine I used modge podge. If you’re concerned about printer ink – the stripes also print nicely in greyscale.
