If you’ve ever opened your Hobonichi Weeks and wondered how to make those dashboard pages feel both magical and functional, you’re not alone. At Dark Moon Paper, we believe dashboards shouldn’t just be placeholders—they’re the creative heart of your planner. Whether you want an inspiring welcome page for each month or a space to gather goals, memories, and dreams, our Love Letters sticker collection is designed to bring a personal, romantic vibe that lasts well beyond Valentine’s Day.
Why Custom Dashboard Pages Matter
Your dashboard page is more than just extra paper. It’s a personal dashboard—a landing pad for your goals, reflections, or even just a burst of joy every time you flip open your planner. Tactile, beautifully designed elements can set the mood, help organize your thoughts, and turn ordinary planning into a work of art. With our Love Letters Dashboard Kit, you get a cohesive palette of themed stickers, headers, and icons that blend romance, nostalgia, and structure to ignite creativity.
1. Memory-Keeping Dashboard: Document the Sweet Stuff
Transform the left-side dashboard page into a mini memory journal for the month—ideal for capturing daily gratitudes, highlights, or sweet notes you don’t want to forget. Here’s how we do it:
- Create a “Highlight of the Day” Grid: Use the heart-shaped and envelope motif stickers to mark out seven rows (one for each day of the week). This sets up a simple habit: every evening, jot down one standout moment.
- Add a Decorative Header: Select a washi strip or script text sticker from the Love Letters kit to title your memory log, such as “Treasured Moments” or “Love Notes.”
- Layer in Extra Details: Enhance blank areas with mini stickers from our collection—think wax seals, roses, or little postmarks to give a cohesive style without overwhelming the page.

Bonus Tip:
Want to tie in even more meaning? Use the dashboard to track a special event countdown, like a wedding anniversary or significant relationship milestone. Place a small sticker for each day, and watch anticipation (and the cuteness!) build every time you open your planner.
2. Monthly Reflection Dashboard: Center Your Focus & Intentions
This idea turns your dashboard into a monthly vision board. Before each new month, use elements from the Love Letters kit to set the tone with intentions, affirmations, or relationship goals.
- Divide the Dashboard into Sections: Use washi dividers or border stickers to create distinct areas for your top three priorities, affirmations, and a “Relationship Focus” (perfect for those looking to nurture a partnership or self-love!).
- Decorate with Script Lettering: The Love Letters kit includes stunning script and label stickers—use these to write “This Month’s Intentions,” “Acts of Kindness,” or “Grateful For.”
- Visual Prompts for Reflection: Mix in envelope stickers as spots for quick notes (“Mail a letter to a friend!” or “Plan a cozy date night”). These visual cues make it much easier to integrate self-care into even the busiest weeks.

Creative Add-on:
If you’re a fan of color coding, assign each goal or affirmation its own color (using stickers or coordinating pens!). It’s not just pretty—it’ll help anchor your focus week to week.
3. Vintage Mail-Inspired Mood Board: For the Romantics (& List Lovers!)
Channel timeless charm by designing your dashboard to look like a vintage love letter or postal desk. This is a fun design approach that’s especially popular for February or anytime you want a classic, nostalgic feel.
- Build a “Letter Board” Layout: Use rectangle box stickers as mock envelopes; add heart seals and lacey dividers to evoke the romance of handwritten notes.
- Frame with Washi Tape: Choose a border sticker or washi strip from the kit—or layer our coordinating washi add-ons for a hint of texture.
- Add Decorative “Interactive” Elements: Use small stickers as faux wax seals or corner labels. You can even leave one envelope open for a real sticky note insert or hidden goal card (it’s such a sweet surprise later in the month!).

How to Make It Last:
Vintage themes aren’t just for decoration—dedicate small spaces for “letters to your future self,” mini habit trackers, or favorite love songs and quotes. These become treasures to revisit anytime you flip through your planner.
Frequently Asked Questions for Creative Dashboards
- How do I avoid dashboard clutter?
Use white space as much as possible, and limit the number of colors or patterned elements to two or three per layout. This keeps the layout fun but never chaotic. - Can I mix Love Letters stickers with functional kits?
Absolutely! Try combining our dashboard stickers with our Love Letters Weekly Kit or February Monthly Kit for seamless, coordinated spreads.
Love Letters Weekly Kit for Hobonichi Weeks - What pens work best with your dashboard stickers?
We recommend pigment-based gel pens (like Uniball Signo or Sakura Gelly Roll) for writing directly on our matte finish stickers—no smudging and vibrant, opaque color!
