The March 2024 Cloth & Paper theme was Connect & Cultivate, to help us keep track of our beginnings while focusing on our future. When you start your subscription you will indicate which size planner you own (there are 11 options to choose from) and you can add on the Penspiration Box to receive some pretty amazing writing utensils.

Planning + Stationery Box

Everything in the Planning + Stationery Box!

Here’s the card that shows each item in the box along with a description.

Vegan Leather Dust Bag I liked the color of this bag, both of my girls are Texas Aggies and they bleed maroon. The bag has a pebbled texture with a polyester cloth interior plus a drawstring ribbon closure. All of my items were tucked into this bag, but it can be used to hold pens, page flags, makeup, and more. This is the third month in a row that we’ve received a bag like this (in different colors), but don’t worry, next month they are changing it up!

Right Time Journaling Card will be used as a bookmark, but you can place it on a desk for inspiration or place inside your planner.

May 2024 Pop Up Calendar The days are embossed and this calendar gives you the month at one glance.

Logophile Dashboard The dashboard is printed on sturdy cardstock and can be used to separate different inserts in your planner.

Reflection Prompt Card This mirrored card has the theme printed on it. It’s the size of a credit card and can be placed in a wallet or on a desk as a sort of monthly goal.

Intention Notebook + Vinyl Cover I think this notebook has enough daily logs to last 6 months. You start by noting your intentions for the upcoming month. Next, you jot down your daily entries, which includes accomplishments and reflections. At the end of the month there is space for you to write down your thoughts on how the month went. Now, you are ready to work on the next month’s goals, and can make changes to whatever didn’t work the previous month. This notebook came with a clear vinyl cover.

Postcard Set A set of five postcards is given the Cloth & Paper treatment, with simple wording or no wording at all, as some of the cards have a photo.

Photo Corners Sticker Set I guess the idea here is to make your notes, postcards, or other cards look like classic photos, just frame them with these stickers in each corner. There are four sheets, two are in color and two are clear.

The Connect & Cultivate Insert has four different sections. Teamwork Planning helps organize projects. Penpal Tracking is for keeping track of community contacts. Meaningful Moments has space for jotting down interactions with others. Family Tree is pretty classic. The last pages have examples filled in, although I feel like the Family Tree was completed in the wrong order, maybe I’m reading it incorrectly though.

Penspiration Box

Here’s the items in the Penspiration Add-On box!

The Journaling Card has a prompt on the back for inspiration. The Pen Test Sheet lists the writing tools we received and has space for swatches. The Calendar Card is undated so you can use it when you choose.

Sticky Notes We received a set of sticky notes in the shade Tuscany. The top set is transparent while the set on the bottom is matte.

Set Of Pens & Highlighters I received two black ink gel pens plus two highlighters. The pens are easy to use and the highlighter colors are subdued takes on the classics.

I didn’t see these two items listed on the card and they weren’t shown (that I could tell) on the Cloth & Paper YouTube unboxing video. The item on the left is a mechanical pencil while the other is a fine-tipped pen that writes in black ink.

As always Cloth & Paper delivered some helpful items in their monthly Planning + Stationery Box and the Pensipration add-on made it even better! I was especially excited to get the maroon pebbled bag and the Intention notebook, I believe these items will be helpful and the bag will make a nice gift for one of my daughters. I also liked the pens and highlighters, they always help me write lists, plans, and more in style, the pens always write so smoothly and are comfortable to hold.

Cloth & Paper offers a monthly subscription box of their planner supplies, inserts, and writing instruments. The items look sleek and Cloth & Paper believes “there is luxury in simplicity”. You can add-on Penspiration for an extra $10 per month. Our readers love this subscription – Cloth & Paper was voted as the top pick for the best stationery subscription this year!
