But that’s not all - Hobonichi Weeks have arrived! (Shop)

Yes, you read that right - Gingerdead Plan now has kits sized for Hobonichi Weeks, too!

Because I’m less familiar with the Weeks system, I’m not able to advise on how well these stickers may fit other planners, even those with similarly-styled layouts. The kits HAVE been tested by a HW user to make sure they’re a proper fit, so no worries there!

Like the ECLP kits, the HW kits come with JPG, PDF, PNG, and Silhouette .studio3 files so that you have a range of options for your printing and cutting needs. The older kits haven’t been converted yet (I’m hoping to get to that eventually), but I’m trying my best to get HW versions of new kits out within a week or so of the ECLP release (working on stickers is hard on both my eyes and my needs-some-more-RAM-computer, so I usually need a break after one drops).

Everything you see here is available now in the planner shop (link in sidebar)!

Hi Gingerfrenz!

As some of you may already know, over the past few years, Etsy's policies have become increasingly unfriendly toward sellers - particularly small hobby shops like mine. We must now pay a percentage fee not only on sales, but on shipping for those sales as well - and in an attempt to force sellers to offer free shipping, they now penalize those who do not by moving them down in search results. Their requirement that all shop fees be taken immediately and automatically from incoming orders, rather than allowing me to pay them from the monthly bill budget in my bank account (as I could previously) has reduced my profits by 50% or more in some cases, leaving me unable to replenish my stock of supplies (those pigments and polish bases are expensive).

As of today, Etsy has announced a new "Offsite Ad" program in which they intend to create and run ads for seller shops via Google, FB/IG, and other services. Any shop that receives a click from one of these ads must pay an additional 15% fee on any sales that customer makes within the next thirty days. Some shops will be forced to participate based on the amount of sales made last year; others will be allowed to opt out. Gingerdead House is currently in the opt-out club, but given Etsy's history of pushing these types of changes, I have very little faith that it won't eventually become mandatory for everyone. You also cannot opt-out until the program begins, and because there's a delay from the time you opt-out to the time your ads are removed, you still run the risk of being hit with an unexpected fee.

Things like this are making Etsy an unsustainable platform for Gingerdead House. While I have not yet decided to close it altogether, I have placed it on Vacation Mode while I consider my options. I do not currently have an estimated time of return, but updates will be posted both here and on GDH's other social media feeds (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). If you have questions about the shop, or would like to inquire about items you may have seen there/set up a private sale you can contact me at thegingerdeadgirl -(at)- gmail -(dot)- com.

Pokemon Team Skull Printable Planner Stickers (Freebie!)

IT'S YA BOY (AND YA PLUMERIA)!

Who else is so excited about Guzma finally showing up in the anime they need to plan their entire week around it? Because this kit's for me you us. >.>

(Though my favourite part was actually when I realized that it's almost Easter-coloured and got a new headcanon of Guzma and Plumeria setting up a Po Town egg hunt for the grunts. XD)

This kit is free for you to download and enjoy! It includes 2 JPGs, 2 PDFs, 2 transparent PNGs, and 2 .studio3/Silhouette cut files for planner kids with a Silhouette machine!

Guess Who’s Back!

That’s right - the physical shop is finally open again!

A few notes:

Right now, I’m only able to ship on Mondays, some Fridays, and some Saturdays. My mother is at high risk for Covid-19 and associated complications, and my access to shipping tools, supplies, and the post office are extremely limited. In addition, the postal service is experiencing numerous delays of their own, which include mail not being picked up or delivered on time. Even Priority Mail is suffering. As such, there’s no way I can guarantee when items will arive, regardless of their shipping date or the service used. Please keep this in mind when placing an order!

You may also notice that there are currently far fewer items in stock than before the hiatus. While I’m still hoping to bring polishes back someday, it’s just not something that’s feasible at this point in time. The fee policies that caused me to shut down in the first place are still in effect, and the resupply costs for cosmetics are so much higher than those on my other projects that the loss of even a few dollars in profits puts them beyond my reach. To make up for their absence, I’m hoping to throw in some other random items here and there. I’ll also be adding new lengths and shapes for the acrylic nails in the nearish future, so keep watching!

Planner stickers and accessories will remain at Gingerdead Plan, and of course you can always find the latest news and updates here, on Facebook, or any of our other social media channels!

Stickertime Madness! (Shop)

I have been SO BAD about remembering to post new releases anywhere other than Instagram! (I’m already on IG all the time, so it’s super-easy for me to do an alternate account post - so if you’re impatient about updates, you might want to give a follow over there, too!)

All of these kits are sized for the ECLP but can easily be used in planners with similar layouts if your creativity and washi work are up to the task (I even use mine in an ECLP-styled personal), come with JPG, PDF, PNG, and Silhouette .studio3 Cut files on US Letter paper (8.5″ x11″), and are available now in the Gingerdead Plan shop (link in sidebar)!

The dedicated planner shop is open for business! From now on, you can find all of Gingerdead House's planner stickers, accessories, and related papercrafts at https://GingerdeadPlan.etsy.com

Right now, only digital download / printable items are available. The current selection includes ECLP weekly kits, Hobonichi Weeks kits, and the functional horse icons, but I'll be adding some previously-unreleased collections as time allows, and there are two brand-new weekly kits coming later tonight or early tomorrow!

For the time being, I'll be focusing pretty much completely on the planner shop. In addition to the problems Etsy's policies have presented me with, I'm living with a relative at high risk of complications from Covid-19, so we're not doing a lot of store runs. If I can't get shipping supplies (or can't get them in a timely manner), I can't ship, and if I can't ship, I can't sell physical products anyway.

That said, I've realized I do want to keep the original shop going if I can, though I still don't have any kind of ETA for when it might return. Once things have settled down, I'll begin adding physical items such as planner dashboards and critter clips back.to the planner shop as well. As always, future developments will be announced here, there, and everywhere I've got a House account!

Smol update!

I've given it some thought and while the primary shopfront for Gingerdead House will remain on vacation for the time being, I'll be opening a second shop focused solely on planner stickers and accessories. This will allow me to continue offering digital downloads and small physical items that don't cost much to ship, without having to constantly deactivate/reactivate other items or losing digital sales because the shop is closed. With few to no supplies to replace, it's easier to manage the issue of fees vs. sales, and hopefully, avoid the no free shipping/low search ranking penalty as well.

I'm currently waiting for some changes to go through at my bank before opening it up. I'm not sure how long that's going to take, but once everything's settled there, I'll start moving listings from the planner categories at GDH into the new shop and link it here (and everywhere else)!
