bee planner stickers

Hello peeps…it’s midweek and I thought some honey bees would be an appropriate theme for today’s planner stickers printable.

Today, I wanted to provide another summer themed and fun color planner stickers set for the Classic Happy Planner. So, why not some honey bees?

I love bees they are pretty fascinating creatures. I used to have a pot of lavendar plants outside my kitchen window specifically to attract bees and butterflies! It made washing dishes at the kitchen sink a “tolerable” chore when you can get a view of pretty flowers and interesting insects going about their daily lives! So, it’s bees for today, a combination of planner stickers and doodles!

Info about the Classic Happy Planner

Me and my Big Ideas, the manufacturer of the Happy Planner has expanded their interior layouts to weekly, timeline, Memory Keeper and dashboard views. They come in different sizes; Big, Classic, Mini and Skinny.

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the “Classic” MAMBI Happy Planner (vertical layout) or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other vertical weekly planners.

The functional planner stickers, especially the full box stickers, are sized to fit within the vertical columns and boxes specifically for the Classic Happy Planner. Keep in mind that the full boxes are now sized at approximately 2.5″ by 1.5″ .

They are almost 1/2″ taller than your vertical boxes for the Erin Condren Planner (1.9″). Sometimes the designs can not be scaled down for your Erin Condren, so expect some distortion to occur. However, you are free to mix and match as you are inspired.

Color Theme

Here’s the color theme used for these planner stickers…

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 pins that are mostly planner related.

There are 95+ planner stickers or elements total in today’s release. As always, these stickers and elements 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 you Happy Planner and Erin Condren fans.

How to Use this “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, (i.e. Cricut Explore) you can cut out the to-do lists or planner stickers using their designer software.

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 most 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. In addition, don’t forget a paper trimmer which helps with the straight cuts. You should probably use punches for the circle stickers. I try to design the circle stickers at standard punch sizes. For hand cutting, a new tool I highly recommend is the Gyro-tool. It’s rotating blade allows you to cut around curvy shapes and is especially good around script stickers.

Facts about the freebie:

*A set of 95+ planner stickers on two 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
*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: bright yellow, light brown, white, light blue

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.

Digitizing Doodles

I have previously provided doodles that I had created on a free vector program called Inkscape which I believe is a must have for diy crafters.

However, I recently started to design doodles on an app provided as an add-on with my Photoshop subscription called Adobe Illustrator Draw. This tool can be used on an Android or Iphone and it’s alot of fun! I like to use it for getting more of a hand drawn look without having to transfer your doodles from paper, to scanner and then to a design or photo editing tool!

I am still getting used to the pen stylus as my drawing tool and the pens shown on the left hand side are the different types of brushes provided in the app. The coolest part is transferring one’s creation’s to the Photoshop’s cloud in order to transfer to Photoshop or other software programs. It helps avoid the bogging down in your work flow when you have to transfer files in the customary way.

The following pic gives you an idea of the Adobe Illustrator Draw interface. This should give you an idea of the size of the workspace you have available to you. The files are saved at 1080 px by 1980 px, the size of your phone. Although I do have an Ipad on my wish list, so I can try Procreate or Goodnotes the planner app for the Ipad.

I am providing a few of the initial doodles provided in the png file below

I’ve made these doodles available for those of you who are digital planners! I’ve seen a few of your pins on Instagram. I appreciate that you gave this blog credit for the original design. However, these will work for printable stickers as well.

Yuup! …another freebie. I really appreciate the response I have gotten from other “pinners” on my other freebies, you are awesome! And thank you, for those who have taken the time to drop a compliment or two.

Wow! I was just flabbergasted with your response and although I am still aiming for my vintage designs, (actually have one on the burner, so to speak right now) it seems the all time most popular freebie was the whimsical one. Who would have thought?

This time I used a black and white color scheme, with yellow and white. Just the color for the sunnier days we are finally getting here, in what is supposed to be sunny Southern California.

I have loaded this printable with 1 filler card, 3 journaling cards and other elements–a total of 10 elements on an 8 1/2 by 11″ pdf page. As before, the lines on the illustration are not perfect , I was aiming for whimsical and not the typical ocd linear inclination I tend to have. ( I was thrilled to be able to actually design the yellow bee with a curly trail myself, as you know I am constantly trying to improve my design skills.)

How to Use this “Journaling Cards” Printable:

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

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 journaling cards and journaling elements using their designer software. ( **Please note: You must have the Silhouette Designer Edition software upgrade to open pdfs in your Silhouette. There are several pdf to jpg converters online if your software just can’t open a pdf. You will have to spend some time creating the cutlines for the silhouette but this should make creating the cutfile and cutting it out a lot easier.)
The most labor intensive (or time consuming) way is to print out the journaling cards or journaling elements on 65 lb. white cardstock and “fussy cut” out by hand, I have spaced the elements so that you can use a pair of good craft scissors or a slide paper trimmer to get a clean cut and handle the fussy cutting.

I actually made the thumbnail bigger so you can view the design, and see if you would like to add it to your digital or hybrid scrapbooking stash. The designs are created at high resolution and they should print at 300 dpi with a smooth color.
