BGM Icing Seal Stickers - Embossed Sheet Stickers (4 Designs)
Stickers with a raised, icing-like surface
BGM's icing seal stickers are printed on a matte sheet and embossed, so the motif sits slightly above the paper instead of lying flat. Up close the shapes read as piped icing: soft rounded edges, a chalky finish and colour that looks dusted rather than glossy. The four sheets here cover cats pottering around household objects, a soft-animal group, a dessert table and a set of everyday icons.
Each sheet is a single printed piece with many motifs, so you cut or tear away the part you need. The embossing makes these a good choice when a page needs texture rather than another flat layer: a raised cake beside a handwritten note reads differently from a paper sticker.

Where they are useful
Journals, planners and letters are the obvious place, but the raised surface also makes these a practical alternative to flat stickers on gift packaging, phone cases and card fronts, where a little dimension helps. Japanese stationers have long sold this format for nail art as well: the motifs are small enough to sit on a single nail and can be sealed under a clear top coat.
Good to know
- The sheet is printed as one piece, so cut around the motif you want rather than trying to peel it like a die-cut sticker.
- Embossing is a pressed surface. Water and repeated rubbing will flatten it, so keep these away from washing-up and wet hands.
- These are small pieces and are not a toy. Keep them away from children under three and from pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are icing seal stickers?
A: Icing seal is BGM's name for a printed sheet sticker with an embossed surface. The motifs are pressed so they sit slightly raised, with a matte, powder-like finish that resembles piped icing rather than glossy vinyl.
Q: Do they have foil on them?
A: No. This line is matte and embossed with no metallic foil. That is deliberate: the raised surface catches light through shadow, so a foil highlight would fight the effect rather than add to it.
Q: Can they really be used on nails?
A: Yes, and Japanese stationery shops commonly sell them that way. Cut out a motif small enough for the nail, press it onto a cured base coat, then seal it under a clear top coat so the edges sit flush.
Q: How do I separate one motif from the sheet?
A: Cut around the motif with small scissors or a craft knife, leaving a narrow margin. The embossing makes a torn edge more visible than it would be on a flat sticker, so a clean cut looks tidier on a page or a nail.
Q: Will the raised surface survive in a journal?
A: Yes, as long as nothing heavy is stacked on the page for a long time. Pressed paper can flatten under weight, so if the texture matters to you, close the notebook gently rather than storing it under a stack of books.
Q: Which of the four designs should I start with?
A: Cat Days and Sweet Moment are the easiest to use on journal pages because the motifs are varied and read clearly at a small size. Fluffy Friends suits letters and children's pages, while Laid-Back Days is the most flexible if you want a few understated marks rather than a themed spread.
