Hello all my blog followers and visitors! I hope you are having a great middle of the week and carving out time for some crafting and lots of rest and relaxation.

Lots of good things are happening here at VintageGlam Studio, so I wanted to give you a little review of what’s happening in regard to my Youtube Channel  before we enter the super busy holiday season.  Although, we  are pretty much  there already come to think of it …what with Thanksgiving already behind us and current holiday shopping and parties, I know you must be busy!

I just wanted to share that I am actively refreshing and updating my Youtube Channel and vide0 tools.  At this time, I hope to create lots of videos that basically provide a summarized review of my planner decor layouts in my Happy Planner by Me and My Big Ideas, and Erin Condren Life Planner.  I intend to also feature the junk journaling journals and tools that I have featured on my Instagram channel.

Most of the planner decor videos are under 5 minutes and they are edited so that you can get the real “meat” of the content. I also include most of the materials and supplies and sources in the Youtube description so that you can add it to your “crafting” list , if you are interested. And I would just love it, if you become a subscriber!  I’m sorry that in the past,  i had not posted enough video content. 

I had too many other time constraints to provide enough video content for my channel but with the discovery of new video editing tools that make this process so much easier and less time consuming, I intend to boost my video content for 2025! I plan to share some of my junk journal flip throughs, diy crafting and current video tools.   I would love it if you became a subscriber to my Youtube Channel.  The following are the online video editing tools I am currently using.

Top  Online Video Creation and Editing Tools

Online video editing tools have come a long way, offering a range of options for both beginners and more experienced creators. Here’s a quick rundown:

  1. Flexclip – Super user-friendly with a drag-and-drop interface. Great for simple edits, and it’s cloud-based, so you can work from anywhere. The free plan is limited, but it’s solid for basic needs. Upgrade to business plan to use it’s advanced features.
  2. Screenpal – This tool combines simplicity with a lot of features. You can trim, add text, and use effects without a steep learning curve. Free plan is decent, but you’ll need to pay for higher export quality.
  3. Adobe Express – It’s Adobe, so it’s got solid features and templates. Ideal for quick, polished videos. The free version gives you a lot of customization, but you may need to upgrade for more advanced options and exports.

Overall, these tools make video editing accessible without the need for heavy software or hardware, and fancy equipment. Perfect for quick edits or social media posts, but if you’re after deep functionality, you might need to go pro!  You’ll be seeing more of my video clips as we get prepared for year 2025!

I also hope to create more vids that cover some of the diy’s that I have shared on my Instagram account. (You guys are keeping me busy!)   But that is all in the planning  and “get it done” stage for right now, in any case I just wanted to let you know what is going on and share a video that I published when I first started my channel.

Thanks for your support and we’ll keep blogging away!

Hello peeps!  We are now in the month of July and you can feel the sun blazing as we advance into full summer days! So, since Southern California is known for it’s produce especially citrus , I thought a citrus  A5 planner dashboard might be a fun printable for your planner!  For some of my International readers, you might have to save it until your summer comes around!

Popular Graphic Site

I wanted to get these summer themed A5 planner dashboards out to you.   I usually pick up my planner graphics as part of a Monday  Creative Fabrica special. Every Monday they discount several graphics and fonts for prices as low as one dollar each USD, which is a phenomenal price!  The following is one of my absolute favorites for this week.

Creative Fabrica weekly special

Many graphics and fonts also allow commercial use and the sale lasts for at least a week.  I built up my font stash buying at these great sales and I recently purchased their subscription about three years ago!  This month they are offering a Christmas in July special where they are giving away daily prizes until the 31st of this month.

This planner insert  is specifically designed for fans of the Carpe Diem Planner by Simple Stories or other A5 planners.  Or  the pages can be used in the Classic Happy Planner as planner inserts by using the Mambi punch and popping the pages right into your  Classic Happy planner.

The size of the planner inserts are 148 mm x 210 mm or 5.83″ by 8.27″, your standard A5 page.

Also, if you are new to this site, I wanted to let you know  that I have a board on Pinterest  that  you might want to follow that has several pins (ideas) by other planner designers, stationery, home office decor,  office supplies and planner freebies that are mostly planner related, you can view that and/or follow here,  Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

There are  more than two separate freebies total in today’s release.     As always, these stickers and/or printables  can either be used for journaling in your project life projects, smashbooks, art journals or other types of memory keeping and papercrafting but these were made specifically for A5 planner fans.

Note**Please see my Terms of Use below before downloading if you have not to been to this site before.**

How to Use this “ Planner Dashboard” Printables :

There are several ways you can use this printable to cut out these freebies and I have included a few tips in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printable is to print it out on a full sheet of white cardstock and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the to-do lists or planner inserts using their designer software.  If you need to convert the pdf file, there are many online converters that will convert the files from pdfs to jpegs.

2)  For the planner dashboard, it would be ideal if you printed it on glossy or matte  photo paper so that the watercolor, glitter or foil texture will show up clearly.  However, simple cardstock will do.  If you own a laminator, laminating the dashboard and then hole punching it will improve it’s wear.

3)  Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which makes cutting a straight line easier, rather than using scissors.

Facts about the Planner Dashboard freebies:

  • One 5.5″ x 8.5″ jpg file – labels (1.9 MB)
  • One 5.8″ x 8.3″ jpg file. (1 MB)
  • These elements were created at 300 dpi, so your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color.  The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
  • Color scheme:  black, white, orange, green

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)  If you have been here before, you know the drill.  If not, you might want to read the quick  TOU below before you access the printable.

Free Violet Fauxbonichi Planner Stickers Printable

This post may contain affiliate links. I may receive a commission, at no cost to you, when you choose to use the links provided. See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

Hello peeps and Happy Monday! Today, I  found the source file for this set of  happynichi or fauxbonichi planner stickers while I was converting my files to Adobe Illustrator CC.  So, I am providing another  fauxbonichi planner stickers release for you today.  I haven’t released these for a long while; so, I have changed the color theme and restyled some of the stickers for the  season!  

I redid a previous release with a lovely pink and green color theme and of course, some  cute doodled graphics.   You can find additional sets that I have created  within the blog post and at the tail end.

Popular Graphic Sites

 I really appreciate all of you who have visited this blog and also checked out Creative Fabrica and Rawpixel and signed up for their design graphics and vintage freebies! Your generous support helps me with providing additional freebies.

 However, recently I have been selecting these photos from  another one  of my favorite design sites, Rawpixel, which has a great assortment of public domain vintage images!   Create a free account using my link, if you so choose.  

And for a slew of great vintage and whimsical fonts and lots of crafting svgs,  don’t forget to try Creative Fabrica. I have a subscription and use a lot of their graphic resources. They are running a great Father’s Day promotion beginning the first of this month  with lots of daily bundle freebies, daily giveaways and yearly subscriptions specials until the 18th of this month.  

What is a Fauxbonichi or Happynichi?

These planner stickers are designed for the  “fauxbonichi” or otherwise known as the “happynichi”.  For many of you planner newbies, just to recap on what a fauxbonichi is…

The fauxbonichi is a restyled planner that resembles the layout of the popular Hobonichi Techo Weeks planner.  However, it uses Me and My Great Idea’s ( the manufacturer of the Happy Planner) popular “skinny” or  Happy notes planner.  It measures 4.125″ by 9.25″ (the interior pages)  and has 9 discs as the binding, the same as the Classic Happy Planner.

The pages for the fauxbonichi are approximately half the size of the Classic Happy Planner.  Depending on the half sheets you use, and how they are designed, you can use this type of planner as a portable personal planner.  This planner has two great things going for it, it is slimmer, therefore more portable and the discs allow for a greater flexibility for adding or moving the interior pages, something that bound planners do not allow.

While these planner stickers I am providing today can fit smaller personal planners, they are styled differently from most small stickers.

Other Uses for these Fauxbonichi Stickers

The Hobonichi Techo Weeks is smaller at 3 3/4″ by 6. 3/4″.   I have gotten feedback that many of you are using these smaller stickers for your personal planners.

You might want to reduce the printable by 10 percent or so to actually get them to fit but they are not an exact match.

What Type of Planners Do these Stickers  Fit?

These planner stickers are made for the redesigned Fauxbonichi type of planners.

However, you might want to take a look at the different personal planners mentioned in the following list to see if they will be suitable for your planner.

Different planner binder companies give these smaller size binders different names; but , generally, they are usually as small as a pocket book and can be carried in one’s purse or briefcase:

The page size is usually about 3.75″ x 6.75″  or  95mm by 171 mm as in the “personal” and compact planners by Filofax.

The page size for the Recollections planner is 4″ by 6.75″.

Please note:  These stickers will also fit in a Traveler’s Notebook  which can accommodate filler sheets or inserts  with a horizontal layout that are sized at 4.33″  x  8.25″ or 127 mm x 210mm.

The other planner that these stickers might fit is the Hobonichi Techo Weeks which is 3.7″ x 7.4″

Please keep in mind,  these stickers are much smaller than my usual Erin Condren or Happy Planner stickers!

How small are the stickers?

The full box stickers in this set  are approximately  1.0″ inch in height.  The small circle round stickers are approximately 3/8″  or  1/4″ across.

How to Use this “Fauxbonichi” Planner Stickers Printable:

There are several ways you can use this printable to create your stickers and I have included a few in the following instructions:

1) The easiest way to use this printout  is to print it out on a full sheet of white sticker paper and if you own a Silhouette Cameo or Silhouette Portrait or other digital cutter you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software. ( **Please note:  You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. I also have redesigned the template so that the margins are within the “registration” area of your silhouette.   You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the Silhouette.)

2) Also another method,  would be to use heavy bond printer paper or you can use 65 lb. white cardstock depending on how thick you want your sticker  and then place adhesive via a snail tape runner or with a Xyron sticker tool or machine.

3) The  time consuming way is to print out the planner stickers on sticker paper and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting.  Another handy tool to have for the straight cuts is a slide or rotary paper trimmer which will reduce cutting around the stickers. Reader’s tip:  If you are cutting by hand, do it while watching TV.

Facts about the freebie:

  • A set of  105+ planner stickers on a 8 1/2″ by 11″ jpeg file (landscape). – 1.7 MB
  • These elements were created at 300 dpi. Your printing results should be very clear and sharp with a smooth lay down of the ink color.  The preview pictures both on the blog and on Google are at 72 dpi, so you often can not see all the detail accurately or colors are sometimes distorted.
  • Color scheme: violet, light purple, sage green, light green

As usual these freebies are free for personal use, (check my TOU if you haven’t previously.)  If you have been here before, you know the drill.  If not, you might want to read the quick  TOU below before you access the printable.
