Diy fall themed stickers! Throws them in the air

Hello lovelies! Today I’m back with another fun DIY post, this time with diy stickers! Stickers are my favorites, I love how they’re so versatile. You can use them in endless ways, journaling, pen-paling, sticking on stuff (duh) , and so much more! But, sometimes you don’t feel like buying more stickers, so here’s the solution. You can make your own! Making your own stickers is super easy and they turn out quite well! Anyways, let’s get onto the post so you guys can see how easy and quick they are and I’m sure you’ll become addicted to DIY-ing them haha!

The materials:

Printed off pictures of whatever you want to make into stickers
Packing tape
Parchment paper
scissors

First, go online and find some stickers. I found these by searching fall stickers to print off and I think they’re so adorable! Print them off in your desired size.

Next step is to cut out your pictures (or whatever you decided to use :))

Gather all your supplies because here is will you will use the majority of them!

Place a piece of tape onto your parchment paper. Such a complicated step, I know 😉

Next, cut a piece of tape that is the same length as the other piece of tape and put it face down on the counter, with the sticky side up. So this is where I do it differently than others, instead of sticking the cut outs on the tape and then sticking another player of tape over, instead, I stick the cut outs facing down onto the sticky side of the tape. Idk, it’s easier for me 😉

Now, take the sticker-tape and stick it onto the tape on the parchment paper. Now, your final step is below the next picture but I’m sure you can guess it haha

Cut them out!!! And boom, you’ve got some super duper cute DIY stickers 🤩 Make sure you leave a small border around your sticker/cutout so that it can stick 🙂

They peel super well and stick just as good!

SO CUTE 🤩

I love love LOVE these and I love how easy they are and how good they work for a DIY!

I hope you enjoyed this! How’s life going? Have you ever made DIY stickers? What kind of posts would you like to see from me? What’s your favorite song atm? Your opinion on pineapple on pizza? I hope you’re doing good! Chat with me in the comments, I’d love to hear from you!

see you soon, Jasmin

Sunday artwork and little update waves hand

**GUYS!! I figured out how to add photos finally! If I upload the photos to google photos and then upload them to WordPress from there it only takes a couple minutes 🤩 So, I’m back to being able to post with photos! Now this post was supposed to go up on Sunday (yesterday) but today works to right?! I hope you enjoy 🙂

Hello! How are you doing today? I’m doing quite good 🙂 Today’s been a nice day, I got up and had French toast, eggs, and sausage for breakfast which is one of my favorites. Then my lovely brother started me a fire in our fireplace which makes that the first fire of the winter/fall season! If you didn’t know, I love LOVE love fires in the fireplace, they’re so cozy and warm and make a room feel so much more welcoming. Then we listened to church and I drew/painted some art and I figured I’d do a fun little post showing what I created! I used Pinterest to come up with the ideas but I threw in a little of my own creativity. Later I might go out to eat with my mom and dad as they do alternating “dates” with us kids and it’s my turn. I think we might go get pizza, because pizza is bomb and I’m obsessed. I also want to make some pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting soon, I’m very much in the mood for some pumpkin flavored treats 🤩

Anyways. Here’s my art I did today!

*I used Arteza real brush pens to color these!

*Photos edited with Lightroom!

And that’s that! Which art is your favorite? I hope you enjoyed and I also hope your day goes wonderfully ❤

xx, Jasmin

Apology. Cries

Hey guys! Despite my very sad caption this isn’t a horribly sad post, but it kinda is. Lately I haven’t been posting much and here’s the reason why. I have horrible horrible internet and am not able to upload any pictures, thus haven’t really been able to post because most of my posts need pictures, or at least I think so ;). So. I have a couple posts typed up and ready to go, they just don’t have pictures so I apologize for not posting recently. Hopefully soon I can get my pictures to upload, I’ve been trying and trying.

So once again, I’m sorry and I hope to have posts up soon!

how have you guys been? Hope you all have been good 🙂

Enneagram, is it accurate? Collab with Ainsley Beth! Fist bump

Hey guys! Today I’m back with a post that I’m super excited for! I reached out to Ainsley from her blog, Ainsley Beth. Ainsley is the sweetest and I love her blog! She has super relatable posts and her aesthetic is EVERYTHING.

Anyways, a while back while scrolling Pinterest, I seen that Ainsley had pinned some enneagram 9 pins and after looking at her boards I found out that she’s an enneagram 9, just like me! I reached out to her through her website and asked her if she would be interested in doing a enneagram 9 assumptions post with me and she agreed! Well, the day is here for our posts to go up and I’m so excited! You can check out Ainsley’s post here.

Anyways, if you dont know what an enneagram is, here’s a quick explanation!

From one point of view, the Enneagram can be seen as a set of nine distinct personality types, with each number on the Enneagram denoting one type. It is common to find a little of yourself in all nine of the types, although one of them should stand out as being closest to yourself. This is your basic personality type.

Type One is principled, purposeful, self-controlled, and perfectionistic.

Type Two is generous, demonstrative, people-pleasing, and possessive.

Type Three is adaptable, excelling, driven, and image-conscious.

Type Four is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental.

Type Five is perceptive, innovative, secretive, and isolated.

Type Six is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious.

Type Seven is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered.

Type Eight is self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational.

Type Nine is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and resigned.

**info from the enneagram institute website, which you can check out here!

So, Ainsley and I are both type 9’s. We both exchanged some assumptions/questions that are generally true about type 9’s and we wanted to see how accurate or how much we relate to the assumptions! Here are the ones Ainsley sent me:

You’re a very genuine person

Ok, so for this one, my answer is: I try to be! Sometime it can be really hard to be completely yourself and I’m also pretty shy and self conscious but I try my best. I hope I’m considered sincere, I would say for the I am and I hope my friends would say the same.

You like naps/sleeping

Ok. YES. Who doesn’t like sleeping 😂 I have to say, I don’t really enjoy naps though. I can never fall asleep during the middle of the day unless we’re on a really long car ride coming back from a weekend of camping. Then I will nap 😉 But usually naps just aren’t my thing. But sleeping is FANTASTIC. I hate waking up in the morning and everyday I wish I could sleep in more than I do haha!

You keep your opinions to yourself

For the most part I do, especially if I don’t know you very well. But if we’re close and I’m comfortable telling you my opinions and I don’t feel like you’ll judge me, I’ll let you know what I think 😉

You’re creative

Yes! I love being creative! Art is one of my favorites and I love creating things! Sometimes it’s hard to be creative and original but I adore painting, drawing, journaling, pen-paling and just creating things to make the world a better and more beautiful place. Ok, I’ll admit that sounds cheesy but it’s true ✌🏻

You love long talks

YES YES YES. A thousand times yes! Long talks are the best, especially if they’re with someone I love and am really comfortable around! Long night time talks at sleepovers are 10/10 the best.

And that’s that! I feel like I can relate to most of these, which is really cool! I think enneagrams are so neat because it’s so cool to be able to look at your “type” and relate to it and see how it might affect how you think, make decisions and etc.!
I hope you enjoyed this post, lemme know what you think in the comments! I’d love to chat 🙂

Also, thank you so much Ainsley for doing this with me! It was a ton of fun and I really enjoyed it 🙂 ❤

Have you ever took the enneagram test? What enneagram type are you? Can you relate to any of these assumptions? How’s your week going? Happy October!
