print studio prints

January 23, 2015

For awhile now, I have been stalking Typo’s online shop for these mini polaroid note cards that come in a tin box. They have different themed boxes, but I liked the pretty, dreamy vintage looking ones. I waited until the US shop got the Frankie Flowers one that I initially wanted, but then I changed my mind and didn’t buy them. I love the concept of these little cards, but I really didn’t want to buy a tin full of them, when they only come in eight designs per tin, meaning I’ll have duplicates of each of the eight designs. I really only wanted one of each design from the various theme choices, but it seemed a bit pointless to buy multiple tins, each containing 40 cards, to have all these multiples.

So I thought about it and figured that I could just make my own cards. I remembered all those Instagram printing websites and did a little search. I came up with a ton of places online that print your pictures in different sizes, but it was Printstagram that really caught my eye. Printstagram gives you the option of printing straight from your Instagram feed or to print directly from your computer using Print Studio. I opted for using Print Studio because all of the pictures I found online that I wanted to print were on my desktop and I didn’t feel like uploading them to my Instagram.

The site offers you a bunch of sizes to choose from. I opted for the miniprints, because they were closest to those Instax Mini sized instant photos. You get 48 prints for $15 plus shipping (US shipping in $7; international is $12).  So, I uploaded all of the pretty pictures to their very user friendly site, which allowed me to crop them and print preview them, so I got my prints exactly the way I wanted.

Since I didn’t have 48 pictures to print, I had about 21, I decided to add a few pictures from my recent trip to Turkey and Greece that I had been meaning to print anyway to finish my travel journal scrapbook. I choose 29 photos from my trip that I had yet to print and added those to the batch to then come up with the 48 pictures I needed. Now, you can always add more than 48 pictures to print. I believe it goes up to 68 prints after the initial 48 and I think that comes out to $20 (I’m not 100% positive on that, but that’s sort of the sense of the scaling price).

I ordered my prints on Sunday and received them Wednesday morning, which was really fast shipping! While the company is based in San Francisco, CA, I believe they print the photos in Taiwan, because that’s where my package shipped from, via FedEx.

I love my mini prints. They are super cute and fit my needs. The cardstock they used to print them on is very thick and the finish is a smooth matte. My only complaint is that the photos are printed a bit lighter than how they look on my computer. It wasn’t a problem for the dreamy vintage cards that I had made because it adds to that dreamy aesthetic I was looking for, but for my trip pictures, a lot of them would have looked way better had the printing not been so light. But I love them anyway. It was a great deal for only $22.

These are super cute! I’ll probably get some more printed in the future with different designs on them. They’re great for sending to pen pals and for scrapbooking or putting in your planner. They also would make really pretty gift notes for friends and family. I made this cute little stop animation gif above and this little flip through video below, just to show you how the pretty dreamy ones came out! Enjoy!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
