I have been using my planner more lately, but I haven’t been doing a ton of decorating. I was hoping that this box would help get me inspired.
The July 2016 Creative Mercantile box included the following items:
~Bon Voyage Washi Tape: I have a ton of washi tape, but I don’t think I have this pattern. If you were going on an international vacation this summer, this would be awesome to use in your planner to decorate. It would also be great if you scrapbooked.
~Creative Mercantile Sticker Sheets & Kindness by Emma Sticker Set: Ohhh, so cute! These are all fabulous! I use an Erin Condren planner (I am currently using the hourly), but these would work for any planner or for scrapbooking.
~Roller Stamp by American Crafts & Small Wood Stamp by Hero Arts: I don’t use stamps in my planner too often, but these are so great that I feel like I should? Maybe I will start.
~Gold Shaped Paper Clips by American Crafts: The information card says the box will include three of these, but there was one on the stickers / cards too, so I included that in here. These are great for marking pages in your planner or even as bookmarks.
~Creative Mercantile Journaling Cards & Oh Yes Die Cuts: I wasn’t sure how to use these so I referenced the “July Idea’s” cards. They suggest them for a memory keeping insert in your planner or a pocket style scrapbook page. You can also use them for journaling or as a planner insert. The die cuts can be added to your planner with a glue stick (or sticker maker tool) to emphasize an important meeting or special date.
~Sticky Note Pad by @littlebllc: I do love sticky notes. I will have these all over my planner (and computer) soon.
~Small Grey Packing Tag, Clear Overlays by Becky Higgins & Postcards by AmyTangerine: These notecards! The ideas card suggests adding gold foil to these which would be amazing. I don’t have the tools to do that, but I do love that idea. The overlays would be awesome for scrapbooking and you can use the tag for just about anything.
~Project Ideas: I referenced it a few times, but the box also includes a card which gives you some ideas on how to use the goodies in each month’s box.
I couldn’t do a cost breakdown on this box, but I can tell you that planner supplies are expensive, so I don’t think the price for this is out of line at all.
