I’ve collected quite a few Frixion erasable stamps by now (they’re my all time favorite stamps for planning), however I’ve never done a spread using only the Frixion stamps.

How many can I use without the spread looking too busy…?

Before the pen

I’ve been stuck working up to 60 hours per week at my day job lately. So instead of a traditional weekly spread that would end up with mostly empty sections per day, I decided to just focus on getting one key thing per day done.

I also added categorised lists for things to get done on the weekend, or if I ended up having any spare time during the week.

Since the Frixion stamps come in limited colors, I incorporated colored pen for the headings using the Pen + Gear fineliner pens.

The Frixion stamps erase using heat, so be careful where you rest your hand, you might accidentally smudge or erase the stamp

After the pen

I used the Pilot Frixion erasable pens with a 0.7mm tip. At A5 page size I usually try and avoid 2 columns as the limited space and this pen tip size did get a bit tight (a 0.5mm tip would’ve been better).

I ended up breaking the ‘rule’ of one thing per day with Saturday and Sunday, but I have more time for things on those days. If I did this spread again I’d leave more space for weekend plans.

I use the sakura flower stamp to create a border. This could be a good way to use up leftover space on the side of page as well.

Tips for using the Pilot Frixion Erasable Stamps

• Try to stamp down directly onto the page, not at an angle
• To erase, use the end (but be gentle, if you’re rough it can indent your page)
• Try and limit how many times you erase over the same spot, the eraser starts to be less effective
• Work left to right on your spread. Your body heat from your hand or an arm resting on a page can also erase the ink
• Do some test stamps on scrap paper first (especially when you use them for the first time, there can be some excess ink)
• Both the frixion pens and frixion stamps are erased using heat so be careful where you erase

These stamps last for years! I’ve had some of them for 7+ years and the ink hasn’t dried out. They’re great value for money and since they’re so small they’re easy to store and don’t take up much room.

I do wish there were more colors available. They mostly come in pink, red, orange and light blue. The green is a dark green but I prefer a lighter green. Some purple stamps would be great too.

• Clever Fox 2.0 dotted journal
• Pilot Frixion erasable pens (0.7mm)
• Pen and gear fineliner pens (dupe for the Paper Mate Flair, see my comparison in this post)
• Pilot Frixion erasable stamps
• Contact USA days of the week stamps

This is the Contact USA stamp set I have. I couldn’t find it on Amazon (I’ve had it for a few years), but there is this option with uppercase and lowercase alphabet, as well as numbers. 

The main inspiration for using Frixion stamps for a weekly spread was these border stamps. I didn’t end up using the pink circles (second from the right) but a row of this stamp one would make a good border if you have excess space at the top or bottom of your page.

Would I use this spread again?

Yes, but I would use less Frixion stamps. The border stamps work well for small boxes – they’d probably work well in a vertical weekly spread.

I’d use a larger page size so there’s more room for the 2 columns per page. I’d leave more space to plan Saturday and Sunday as well. The spread was already quite full before the week really started. I ended up having to add another half page for more life admin to do’s. Since I was so pressed for time, I think it would’ve been better to do checklists separated by time (15 minute tasks, 30 minute tasks etc.).
