So this year, I was shopping for cute Halloween cards. But, I couldn't find ANY I liked!
So I decided I had to make my own.
I came up with this super cute Rilakkuma pop-up card design!
Below is the front cover!
I am also making personalized Halloween cards with a sticker set, Halloween confetti and a Rilakkuma polaroid from me. It is now available on my ebay shop! You can also buy the blank ones if you don't have the time/materials to make these yourself!
In addition to the main series, there will be a caravan event on October 15th. The Rilakkuma mascots (the big costumes) will be at certain stores. You can get the limited edition plush at this time.
I'd love to attend one of these someday! Koguma is so cute!
Today's blog post is all about the second story of Koguma: "Delivering the Gloves" which has also inspired a new series, the Gloves Theme (or Delivering the Gloves Theme). Blog post on the goods in this theme HERE!
Below is my translation of the San-X information page about the story, and also photos used on Rilakkuma's Facebook page. They had posts of the story each evening during a week in September. I translated these day by day on my own Facebook page, too. So if you'd like to follow along when I translate their posts, please check out my page, here! : )
Below is my translation of their posts, and then some images that I translated, too! Enjoy!
Because of the popularity of Koguma, the story continues! It is a heart-warming illustrated story:
It's now become colder. Korilakkuma would like to give Koguma some handmade gloves as a gift. She decided to go to the Honey Forest alone to see Koguma.
Her first trip to see Koguma is exciting, but a little scary, too. Rilakkuma and Kiiroitori are secretly watching from behind. They are worried about Korilakkuma going alone.
Here are the layouts I made for my planner for October. There are a few versions: Halloween version (with and without numbers) and 2 different fall designs. Enjoy!
Wow! There are some really cute new releases out from San-X this season! Check out my video about the new releases if you haven't seen it yet.
Here are the three main plush from the Halloween release:
They are ghosts!! So cute. I remember an old Halloween ghost release, but this time they are real ghosts and no legs! I love the pumpkin bags too.
You can also get keychain versions too.
And there is also the Halloween Playset!! Wow, I love the Kiiro ghost hovering in back, and that pumpkin cake looks yummy : ) It is no longer on pre-order at Miraplush.
On the San-X webshop, you can also buy it directly using Tenso, for 10800 yen.
Read more about the set here.
And then....The Christmas playset! I preordered this one using Tenso. It was 16200 yen! It will be my first play set EVER. Using Tenso, I expect to pay some more in fees, and then I'll select the shipping method. I'm hoping it will come up under $200. Here is where you can order at San-X. It is a December release, so you won't have it shipped until then. But preorder now while they offer it!
I'm so happy they included Koguma in the celebration! Will there be a main Christmas series this year? I hope so.. We will have to wait and see.
There is ALSO a really cute Sumikko Gurashi Christmas set! It's a bit cheaper, so now I'm tempted to buy it too.....
Will you be buying any? What's your favorite method to preorder or buy Rilakkuma? I'd love to hear any of your advice.
Here are the layouts I made for my planner for September. There are two versions--one with September and dates, and the other without. You can use it for any month you want.
My latest video is a plan with me for July and August! I use these layouts in my DIY Planner I made from a notebook, you can see how to make your own calendar book here.
I'm including the new layout I made for August here in this post! (July's can be found in my last post)
I chose to use this cute Rilakkuma watermelon pattern for August. Choose from the image with dates, or without. This way, you can use it next month or any other month you'd like!
Below is the original August 2016 calendar with and without dates.
Let me know if you like these layouts or have any requests for future months!
