Planner stamps have become my jam. I am in love with the crisp way they look in my planner. I can't get over it! My favorite place to use planner stamps is in my Mini Happy Planner which has become my main planner. Who would have thought that would happen! I also love the way they look in the 800 memory planners I have (I haven't decided on what planner I want to use this year for memory planning....)
The whole reason I bought planner stamps is was to save money because they are reusable. You know what happened? I can't stop buying stamps! These collections can get pretty pricey. Personally I can't wait for the new MAMBI clear stamps that I saw at CHA this year! As with everything on the blog, I really want to show you how to save money while still having fun with this hobby. Here are 5 ways to save money on planner stamps:
You all know I love Blitsy. Whenever I want to find something new but I'm on a budget I turn to my trusted pal Blitsy. Their planner stamp section has planner stamps from WaffleFlower, Hero Arts, Technique Tuesday, Lawn Fawn, Prima Marketing...so many brands. It is best to keep a close eye on the site as the stock rotates (and comes back) often. You may miss out on something if you don't check often. I love that shipping to the contiguous United States is free over $30 and if you sign up here you can get $10 off your first order. Once you sign up, you can share your own referral code. You know what that means? Rewards for you whenever someone uses your link to make their first purchase! So you can get more planner stamps!!
This is a brand new site I've found, a sister site to Peachy Cheap where you can find discount scrapbooking supplies. Peachy Planner Deals offers a new deal each day - the true meaning of a flash sale site - related to planning. I've seen two offers for stamps on the site so far so it's worth a check if you're in the market. Sign up for their email to be notified of the deal each day too. The stamps I've recently purchased from Peachy Planner Deals are from Chic Tags...I love them!
Amazon might not be the best deal on this list - I suggest checking the other two first - you may find some good deals on something that is sold out on a site like Blitsy. The benefit of Amazon for me is the Prime shipping since I'm a Prime member. An added benefit of the site is visiting the Amazon Smile site allows you to donate a portion of your eligible purchase to a charity of your choice. So get a good deal, get your stamps in 2 days, and donate to a good cause. Win, win, win! Check out some planner stamps here. There are some of the Jessica Lynn Originals stamps there that I reviewed in this video.
Facebook Groups/Instagram
Another money saving way to buy stamps is from someone destashing. I've gotten a few Studio l2e sets from someone destashing on Instagram. I've also found a few Facebook groups that sell off individual stamps that the seller may not need from a stamp collection. That is great if you're not trying to buy 30 stamps on in a set when you're looking for just a few. It takes a bit of time, negotiating, and trust...but pay through something like PayPal Goods & Services (for a small fee) so that you're protected if the seller falls through on their end!
Etsy
In addition to any shop coupon codes you may find, Etsy also offers cash back through Ebates. It is usually at 1% cash back but sometimes it will jump to 2%. This is a great way to save a tad bit of money and buy from an independent business owner. Etsy has so many shops to offer - I just found Starving Artist Stamps with a crazy set of clear planner icon stamps! Do a quick Etsy search of Planner Stamps and you'll find unique sets as well has some name brand ones.
I can't get over the fact that after all the planner stamps I've purchased....I still need more! So many planner stamps, too little time. If you'd like to watch a few of my Planner Stamping videos, there is a playlist here on my YouTube channel.
Have you started planner stamping? Any new planning thing you're interested in?

Shame on you. Claiming to tell me how to save by showing me more ways to buy. LOL
ReplyDeleteI never thought of the Facebook groups. I have bought tons of Indie nail polish from Facebook groups but never thought about stamps.
