I was excited to review Pipsticks as I have always been a little sticker-obsessed. I can recall sitting on the floor (probably 25 years ago) with my childhood best friend trading and bartering with one another for the best new stickers. I have fond memories thanks to stickers and opening the Pipsticks holographic envelope brought that familiar excitement back. Also, being trained in art, I appreciate well-created things…like these amazing stickers.

“July’s Pipsticks stickers are inspired by the theme Fun in the Sun! July’s Pro Club stickers are super fun, super colorful, and will inspire you to look forward to any STAYcation or vacation that you have planned…”

The Pipticks subscription was delivered in a mesmerizing holographic envelope with “Today just got happier!” written in big letters on one side, and my mailing address on the other. Also, their hashtag #PIPSTICKS was written underneath, most likely placed as a reminder to tag any photos you take or to connect with other Pipstickers subscribers.

Next, I found an issue of Pippy (a zine for sticker lovers).

First we see some shots of the Pipsticks Planner (Coming soon!) and a letter from the founder, Mo.

Here’s an excerpt: “This month stickers were designed with a popsicle color palette, and bring all the summertime vibes. After the trials of the past months, I have never before felt such a need to soak up the sunshine, and inject as many carefree moments into my life as possible. The COVID-19 experience made me realize just how much joy I can get from bright colors, pretty patterns, and a cool blue sky. Bringing these colourful pops into your journals, snail mail, and planners can really help offset moments of unease and anxiety, whatever the circumstances. We collaborated with Sid from Yay For Today (@yayfortoday_) to create sheets of stickers that will help track goals and stay motivated. You’ll also find pink Cadillacs, flower bombed VW bug cars, sharks, and beach babes, as well as lots of fun fruity designs.”

Behind the scenes at the: PIPS DESIGN STUDIO & PIPSPOLL

“There’s nothing that says summertime like a bright palette of pink, blue, and yellow…”

This page outlines how their colors and ideas, illustrations, and designs come to life. I am in awe, Pipsticks is far more than just stationery!

“Every month, we poll our sticker loving community and here are some fun results… (write in your answers by the questions with a star next to them)”

This is a fun way for Pipsticks to engage their community and this also gives subscribers a chance to win a studio sticker stash after taking a quiz based on the last month’s results.

Creative Challenge & July VIP Ticket Prizes

This month’s creative challenge idea was to bedazzle your sunglasses and feel all the sunshine! A supply list and step by step instructions are included, as well as a few ideas for sticker tinted glasses. Also, each month they send out one pink ticket and two silver tickets in randomly-chosen Pro Sticker Packs! If subscribers receive any of those tickets, they win the listed prizes. As well, we see a sneak peek for August’s subscription.

MEET SID!

“She’s this month Pipsticker collaborator! Follow her on Instagram @yayfortoday_ and read more about the collab on our blog!”

It’s cool to learn about their collaboration and the inspiration and face behind it.

Now on to the most fun part – stickers!

Poolside Paradise & City Sights

These poolside stickers have me wishing that I had a pool to spend more time at. I love the diversity of the people and that the sheet itself makes a scene as does the individual stickers. These gold and shiny sunglasses gave me comfort as I felt like I was travelling though I was only staying local this summer due to the pandemic.

Taking Shape & Show Me A Smile

I cannot wait to put these colorful geometric stickers on my agenda on days where I need to add some pizazz. This smiley face makes me smile and the background actually breaks up into various shapes. It screams, “Saved by the Bell” and I am here for it!

Wanderlust & Do No Disturb

I am obsessed with these Wanderlust vehicles: these Volkswagen vans and beetles remind me of a simpler time and have me looking forward to the future. The small details are perfect. These “Do Not Disturb” door and key tags are awesome and make me feel okay with wasting some of my summer days away relaxing.

Groovy Fruits & You’re A Smoothie

I love these psychedelic groovy fruits! These healthy smoothie stickers make me want to prepare healthy smoothies. I think that’s a win and they will come in handy for meal-planning.

Beach Please & Chompy Chums

I have always loved sharks since learning about them in depth in second grade and now have some of my very own. How sweet (and diverse) are these lil’ chompy chums? Annnd Beach Please! These cute beach stickers make me feel warm, cozy and sunkissed just by looking at them.

Think Positive by YAY For Today & Be-YOU-tiful

Positive affirmations are my jam! These stickers were designed in collaboration with Sif from @yayfortoday_ and they definitely cheer me up just looking at them. These stickers send positive messages and will be an amazing addition to my planner, vanity mirror and student’s school work. These Be-YOU-tiful stickers also scream that it’s okay to be unique, different and yourself. I am loving all the love!

Cruisin’ & Tan Lines

These cars are the best colors and are awesome. Also, cute animals with tanlines, anyone? These cuties make me smile as you can envision them wearing their swim attire. I personally wear a ton of sunscreen these days as I want to avoid skin damage, but I too, have some interesting tan lines from this summer!

Gratitude Is My Attitude Vinyl

This is a pretty amazing sticker with a nice reminder for us all, as we still have a lot to be thankful for. I will most likely place it on my phone case, laptop, or water bottle for that gentle reminder.

Post Card

This month’s paper goodie is a smiley face postcard! You can decorate it with your favourite stickers and pop it in the mail to a friend.

This “Fun in the Sun” Themed July Pipsticks Subscription contained fifteen sheets of unique and high-quality stickers as well as a zine and postcard. I love all the stickers this month and honestly could not choose a favourite if I tried! If you were to price out each sheet individually on the Pipsticks website you would be paying far more than the low monthly subscription fee. I am in awe of the high-quality, well-designed, and colorful stickers I received and cannot wait to scrapbook, send more snail-mail, and place these stickers on my students’ work. This is the perfect subscription for any-aged sticker lover in your life!
