Hello planner fans. So, it’s the day after Thanksgiving and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.

Today is Black Friday…and usually the biggest shopping day of the year. However, I will say that there were a lot of retailers this year that had early bird sales even before Black Friday. Regardless, I went ahead and rounded up these specials for the “official” biggest shopping day of the year.

Most retail stores (online and brick and mortar) of all types are offering huge discounts today for Black Friday, some up to 40 and 70 percent off, but they usually are deals that are available for only a limited time. This is the time to add to your crafting stash by purchasing many of the products you had saved on your “wish list” at heavily discounted prices–at least that is a technique I use.

You have to grab these deep discounts within the time frame that they are available which is usually for only 24 to 48 hours. Some retailers are extending their sales through the weekend to Cyber Monday to provide incentives to the online shopping crowd. Cyber Monday will be Monday, December 2nd this year. In any case, I decided to compile a few tips for some of the planner and craft related specials (that I am aware of) for you today.

Planner Deals

- - Erin Condren is having ~~a 30% sitewide sale on all their planners and accessories for a limited time that will also include Cyber Monday, December 2, 2019.~~
  - Franklin Planner is having a sitewide sale with up to 60 percent off on their planners and accessories.
~~Save up to 60% at FranklinPlanner for Black Friday!~~
- - - If you like the Happy Planner (Big, Classic and Mini) by Me and My Big Ideas, Michael’s (the craft store) is having storewide sales of up to 40 percent and 70 percent on selected craft items. They have actually opened their stores at 6 pm Thanksgiving Day to midnight at selected Michael’s locations. You can also order online and pickup your order at a local store. Different rules may apply for each local store or region in the United States. I usually use my Michael’s phone app to access any coupons and deals. I also have signed up via email for all their upcoming sales…these tools help keep my craft and craft related expenses lower than they would otherwise be.
    - Blitsy is a Chicago based store with a great online store for craft supplies and Mambi planners and accessories . They are having huge discounts today and are offering FREE shipping for orders over $49.00 (contiguous US) or for over $99.00 USD for everywhere else. Don’t forget to check their “new arrivals” and “clearance” sections for items that you might already have on your wish list.
    - Another source for the Happy Planner or other journals and planners is of course, Amazon. I usually access their large assortment of planners and journals via this “category” link >>HERE to see what are the latest deals for the upcoming year available. This is the best time to buy your planner for next year as the prices are deeply discounted for holiday sales.
    - If you have Amazon Prime ( which I do) you can usually have your purchases shipped to you within two days.
Cricut– this digital cutting, vinyl press irons and other cut file products company is having huge Black Friday sales as well as a variety of specials through to the end of December.
~~Save big with the Black Friday Mystery Box! Get yours today!Save up to 50% off select materials and accessories! Valid through 12/2.~~
~~Save up to 74% off Holiday Bundles. Valid 11/29-12/2~~

Silhouette – the digital cutter company has been holding a Black November special for the whole month of November on many of their popular products. However, for Black Friday Silhouette is offering Bundles starting at $14.99, with almost 50% off everything (some exclusions apply).
I usually purchase my Silhouette products off of Amazon. You can see the Black Friday Deals by clicking this “Silhouette Category” link to view available products and the select deals stores that partner with Amazon are offering.

Etsy – many graphic designers are now setting up shops or products with appropriate licensing made for the small business owner or blogger, they vary from mockup photos to social media templates for Canva. ~~Today, Etsy is offering up to 60% off for Cyber week.~~

The Hungry Jpeg – This site is a great resource for grapics, fonts and mockups at affordable prices and with generous commercial use licenses. They offer a weekly freebie as well as great prices on graphics or font bundles at prices reduced over 80 percent if they were bought individually. This is a great way to get introduced to a variety of designers and collect design assets that you can use in your projects. You can purchase a la carte and many designers offer
their products at special one dollar USD discounts. Hungry Jpeg is having a sitewide sale for Black Friday thru to Cyber Monday, and you will get 25% off, Use code: TWENTY5

Creative Market -This site has premium designs, fonts and other design assests created/designed by professional graphic designers for professional graphic design use. Since the design assets are premium quality, you will need software and hardware to download and unpack their product offerings. The premium design asset offered also means prices are more expensive than other comparable sites. They offer six freebies every week; most, however, (in my opinion) are products geared to other professional graphic designers.
But that is not to say, that there are reasonable and affordable products available. ~~For a limited time period, take 20% off any item using code: 000000FRIDAY. Sale ends 12/14/19 at 9 am PST.~~

FontBundles.net – I love the premium fonts available on this website. I have purchased a variety of unique and custom fonts on this website. They offer generous commercial use licenses and allow you to purchase via a “credits buying” system very similar to image/photo sites. They also have a sister site Designbundles.net which is great for affordable craft files for diy crafting. Fontbundles & it’s sistersite Designbundles will have over 9,000 items priced at $1.00 from Black Friday, November 29th to Wednesday, December 4th. The extra day will give you some time to review and favorite your purchases before buying.

To organize your “gift giving” shopping lists, I have two freebie printables available:Retro Christmas Shopping ListHoliday Shopping Lists PrintablesHope these few tips help with your planner and craft related purchases.

Happy Friday… I hope you are enjoying early spring. Today, I am releasing a planner stickers freebie for the “Classic” Happy Planner with a soft blush, yellow, pink and grey color theme. I used a two page layout that will pretty much cover your whole weekly spread with this design.

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the MAMBI Happy Planner (vertical) or similar Week At A Glance Planners or other vertical weekly planners such as the Plum Paper Planner or Erin Condren Life Planner. The functional planner stickers, especially the box stickers, are sized to fit within the vertical columns and boxes specifically for the Happy Planner. Keep in mind that the full boxes are sized at 1/4″ taller than your vertical boxes for the Erin Condren Planner and sometimes the designs can not be scaled down for your Erin Condren.

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. You can view that board and/or follow here, Home Office | Planners & Stationery Favs.

Planner sticker printable, for personal use only

Find me on Social Media

There are 90+ 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. 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 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 but this should make creating the cutfile a lot easier.)

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 tedious 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. You should probably use punches for the circle stickers. I try to make the circle stickers at standard punch sizes.

Facts about the freebie:

A set of 90+ planner stickers on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
File size : 1.8 MB + 1.14 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: blush, pink, grey, yellow
