Product Review – Teresa Collins Mega Runner by Xyron

 This post may contain affiliate links.  See the Disclosure Policy for more information.

 

Happy Monday blog followers and visitors …and Happy Memorial Day!  Just about the time I started providing my printables on this website, I have often suggested that you use Xyron sticker makers or even their tape runner to stick your planner stickers in your pretty planners.  Xyron contacted me and provided this gorgeous Teresa Collins tape runner and I wanted to share my straightforward opinion about this product.

Product Review

Here’s the Teresa Collins Mega Runner pictured with my Classic Happy Planner.   I have to say from the outset that in the looks department, I give this tape runner an A+.  I’m a fan of Teresa Collins scrapbooking designs and I like the quality she usually associates with her brand.  I even own the Teresa Collin’s Fiskars crafting scissors, so I may be biased in that regard.

Pros

  • Beautifully designed in fashion colors – the manufacturer also has one in pink
  • Lightweight and not too bulky. Ergonimically designed.  It has a soft handle that feels good to the touch.
  • Has a latch that protects the tape from getting gummed up by dust and dirt.   One of my favorite features, as I don’t like detachable caps because they tend to get lost.
  • Body opens up to place refill cartridges very easily.
  • Tape has a dot matrix pattern that goes down smoothly – refill cartridges are available in 1/4″ and 1/2″ tape sizes.

Cons

  • Pricey,  a little on the pricey side; however, you can buy the clear blue mega runner for a few dollars less and still have similar features.
  • Pricey, refill cartridges. You might prefer economy or budget type tape runners for your crafting needs.
  • May be too bulky even for small hands.
  • The tape goes down smoothly but you have to practice the technique so that it will dispense properly.
  • Not readily available in all stores. So, I would buy the tape runner and my refill cartridges on Amazon or Michael’s with a coupon.

*Update** = Promotion offer has closed.

In summary, considering all the pros of this product,  I would definitely add it to my crafting stash.  The fact that it is so well designed might outweigh it’s priceyness for many crafters.

After all that info about tape runners, I don’t want to leave you without something  for you to decorate your Mini Happy Planner.  So, I designed this coordinating black, white and dark gold planner stickers set for today’s Mini Happy Planner  printable. 

Here’s a sample of this set of planner stickers printed, on letter size, full sheet white  heavy paper and  printed with my Epson  Artisan 810 printer.  However, I do use full sheet white sticker label paper by DigiOrange when I  want to cut these stickers in my Silhouette Cameo.

 

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.

How to Use this “Mini Happy 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. ( **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. ( see pic below for today’s featured product)

 

3) The most tedious  (or 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.

Facts about the freebie:

  • A set of  95+ planner stickers on an 8 1/2″ by 11″ pdf file.
  • File size : 2.53MB
  • 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, gold, dark gold
  • 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.

Some things you should know before downloading:

* Vintage Glam Studio printables are for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
*You MAY NOT RESELL, redistribute, or claim the original or derivative (redesigned from the original) designs as your own.  Including using the derivative designs for free distribution.
*Please do not remove the watermark or modify the design in any way other than for your own Personal use.
*If you post this on the internet, please give credit to Vintage Glam Studio & link back to my blog (www.vintageglamstudio.com), so others can obtain the resources.  Pinterest, Twitter and Facebook are great social media sharing platforms, it’s the  sharing without a link back that can be a problem.

Mini Happy Planner – Shabby Chic 2 Planner Stickers

 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.

Spring is the time for flowers…right? So, I went back to the drawing board  ( a virtual one in this case) to get this next freebie printable set up for you.   This is another set of digital paper that reminds me of an English garden and I love its shabby chic look, so that is what  I used in today’s  Mini Happy Planner  printable.    It has a similar layout as the previous one but this time the color theme is pink with greens.

A Few Notes bout the Printable

If you are a Filofax fan or owner of a planner with A5 weekly inserts, you will be  able to use this printable as well.   Please note:  These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the Me and My Big Ideas Mini Happy Planner but many of the stickers will fit the   Kikki.K or Filofax personal planner or similar smaller personal sized  weekly planners.

The dimensions for these stickers are very small; usually, only slightly more than an inch across.

Coffee Bean Planner Stickers – Free Printable

Coffee and carrot cake

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 blog visitors!   August has arrived!  It has been so hot in Southern California this past week and into this one as well, so I have been inspired by cool colors for today’s planner stickers release!  Although, I was thinking about iced coffee at this point , so that helped inspire  this color theme. I hope you like the few tweaks to my planner stickers freebies that I have been designing by  adding more patterned full boxes and patterned washi strips.

I  designed this set of planner stickers in colors that will coordinate with the color theme for  the  Erin Condren Life Planner (vertical).  I understand these stickers will also fit the Plumpaper planner as well.

These planner stickers are specifically designed for fans of the Erin Condren Planner   (vertical) or similar Week At A Glance Planners  or other vertical weekly planners such as the  Plum Paper Planner, Passion Planner or Happy Planner.  The functional planner stickers, especially the box stickers,  are sized to fit  within the vertical columns and boxes specifically for the Erin Condren Planner.  If you have a Happy Planner, you might want to add some washi tape to compensate for the extra space that is left bare, about  1/4 inch. This does not include the approximately 1/4″ inch header title.

Here’s a sample of this set of planner stickers printed on heavy printer paper with my Epson Artisan 810 printer.

There are 60 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 Erin Condren Planner and Filofax fans.
