We’re changing our name!

September 20, 2016 by Rebecca Wagner Leave a Comment

CityGirl PlannersAfter playing with the idea of changing our name for the last year or so (to better reflect our style, business vision, and a nod to my roots) and response from the Pinners Conference, we decided to change our name. The planner community has grown immensely, and even though HCF has been around for over 5 years as a craft blog and 2 1/2 as a planner store, we discovered people thought we were affiliated with another well-known planning company that contains the word ‘happy’. To avoid confusion, we decided to go ahead with changing our name.

We are the same fantastic calendars and inserts you know and love, just under a new name that matches our product line. Don’t worry, HappyCardFactory Designs isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I mean, we would hate to lose years of crafty projects! We will still be craft blogging at HCF Designs, although sparingly. We will also use it to keep you up-to-date on planners news and when new products and designs are available. Whereas, CityGirl Planners will be our storefront.

Without further ado, we bring you CityGirl Planners.

I have poured my heart and soul into my business and I am excited about making the change. Not only do I feel it better reflects me and my vision, I want to make sure to avoid any future confusion. We are so blessed to have all of you as wonderful customers. We couldn’t have done it without you. We’re looking forward to our new direction and hope you enjoy it as well. New adventures are always so much more enjoyable with friends!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?

Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under Who else misses Micro planners? I found this under a stack of papers. Don’t know how long it’s been chillin under there but I’m going to start using it. Great for quick notes and things you need to dump but don’t need long term.
Field research, planner style. Since the Coach no Field research, planner style.

Since the Coach notebooks are sold out, I grabbed this leather cover on Amazon to test the fit.
Good news: it fits beautifully (and it’s roomy enough for tabs).

Bad news?
I got excited and didn’t read the whole listing.

No snap.
No elastic.
Just vibes.

Luckily I’ve got elastic on hand… but consider this your reminder from someone who learned the hard way:

Read the full listing, friends.

Sometimes the best combinations aren’t planned… they just happen.

The Aquarelle Sky cover paired with Candy Rush tabs turned out to be one of those moments. The colors line up so perfectly, it looks like they were made for each other.

Just a little unexpected color magic.
Every tab is placed by hand. Nothing here is auto Every tab is placed by hand.

Nothing here is automated. We print, cut, laminate, punch, and assemble every order ourselves.

When you shop with us, two real humans have touched every single piece.

Does anyone else suddenly become a pink-and-purple Does anyone else suddenly become a pink-and-purple person in February…
or is it just me?

I don’t even fight it anymore.
February = soft colors, cozy plans, and a planner that matches the mood. 💕
