How thick are the avery lamination sheets? I may change to this type as the current lamination sheets I have are more like perspex and extremely thick. My Portrait 3 really struggles to cut through it and I'm worried about unnecessarily dulling the auto blade. Btw if you haven't already bought a dye cutting machine, I highly recommend Portrait as the cutting space is much larger than that of Cricut.

the package doesn't say how thick they are unfortunately but it's the Avery Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets 73601 sized 9x12 inches (i got them off amazon). They're fairly thin at least I think so :) And thank you for the machine recomendation! I have not bought one yet so I will look into that option as well

You dont need to answer anything dw :)) Good luck and if you make this and release it, im first to buy it ✨ Byee!!! ✨✨✨

aw you're so sweet thank you!! I'll definitly announce whenever I have my comics/novels/art uploaded anywhere so keep an eye out :) As for your questions, I'm happy to answer them! I kind of wing everything for these projects haha but I watch lots and lots of videos on making comics that you can find for free on KZbin. If you have instagram @gentlecoda and @mlandart both have series of reels explaining how they make comic/manga that I have found super helpful! I also recently found a book called "drawing words, writing pictures" by Jessica Abel and Matt Madden that is an extremly in depth course pretty much on making comics so I would recomend that book! If you're looking for an actual comic recomendation, the Fables series by Bill Willingham is amazing story and art wise. And for art brands, you'll have to be a bit more specific for me as I do art in every medium. Feel free to specify in response to this comment and I'll let you know! :) I'd be happy to answer any further questions you have, as well. Thank you for watching and for the sweet commment <3

Very inspiring video. Thank you! By the way, the newest cricut machine is way smaller than even I anticipated. My boss got me one for work mainly but he lets me bring it home when I need to use it for my personal little side hustle I’m trying to get going. Just wanted you to know, you can make the room I’m certain. The ONLY thing that I wasn’t quite prepared for was the amount of space that I needed left wide open, behind the desk where we put the cricut. I highly doubt this will be an issue for you if you’re just printing and cutting sticker sheets and smaller prints like that. But for work, the mat i use to print on has to be the largest one they make as we use it to print vinyl signs. They aren’t little signs, and often times even the cricut mat isn’t large enough. I’d have to print without a mat at all then use transfer paper to pull the vinyl. Not a fun process. You feed it through and there isn’t enough space behind the cricut, the vinyl will get jammed and crunched up in the machine. Not ideal. But if you’re doing things like this, little space is required. 😊

hi! you're so inspiring! I have a question because i want to start a sticker shop as well. I see you're selling the pears as a sticker. I love them! But have you consider who your target audience is? For example people who likes pears or fruits in general? I'm asking because I saw another girl selling a pear sticker and I was just wondering how your strategy is to "stand out" yk? I love your artwork and I hope to start a shop as well some day, that's why I'm asking!!!! <3333 Love you!
@averydow-kenny5 ай бұрын
Thank you for your question! Ive never wanted to be someone who makes art I don’t love just because it would sell well, because that drains me creatively. What I did for this shop opening was make products out of some of my favourite pieces I’ve created personally in hopes other people will love them too enough to buy them. I know that’s not the greatest marketing or business strategy haha but that’s what I wanted to do for my opening at the very least (it also helps you gage the tastes of your customers seeing what they put in their basket and not). For future drops I’ll definitely lean towards what I think other people will want to buy while also staying true to what I love to create. Because if I don’t love what I’m doing then it’s just not fun, and that’s the main goal for me is to enjoy every step of the process 🙂 and as for standing out, not every idea you have is going to be “original” especially when it comes to things like fruits haha, but it’s okay to lean with the trends every now and then too in your own way :) <3 good luck with your sticker shop aspirations!!

@@averydow-kenny Thanks for the long answer! So you basically just putting things out there atm to see what people like and then later make more of what people like? For example I wouldn’t want to draw apples for the rest of my life, even though let’s say I would make a full-time living of it. Maybe I would if I only had to do it once a week and then get to spend 6 days creating art for myself, then it would be worth drawings apples. Haha dumb example, i hope you understand how i resonate though, because I think I will consider making art that’s not 100% enjoyable if I would be making lots of money from it, maybe it’s only 70% enjoyable though. But in opposite of going to a 9-5 job that’s minus-10000% enjoyable, then creating art that’s 70% enjoyable is still worth it in comparison. But as long as I love it it’s worth it! <3 Thanks and good luck to you to, i’m excited to follow along your journey <3

I‘m curious about the settings on your ecotank and the paper you are printing the designs on. I also have one but mine doesn’t print the colours right…they are more blueish and red isn’t very bright :/
@averydow-kenny6 ай бұрын
I didn’t do any setting changes on my actual printer, I did lots of colour correcting in photoshop and I print straight from photoshop which helps a lot. As for the exact settings, it took me a lot of testing to figure out and it’ll be different for everyone’s preferences but I will definitely include a more in depth video on my process leading up to printing in a future video as someone else commented that! It’s hard to say if your specific colour problem is a printer issue, something that needs to be tweaked in photoshop, or a simple print setting alteration unfortunately. As for the paper, for prints I use Epson premium presentation paper matte and for stickers I use Betckey full sheet sticker paper for inkjet printers (both off Amazon). I hope that helps!

Thanks so much for showing your process. I'm planning for my shop now. I was thinking of getting a similar printer but one that can make larger 13x19 prints. Do you find that only offering a standard size is a problem? Are you going to offer larger sizes eventually, maybe through print-on-demand? I'm wondering what to do about getting an affordable printer but not having too many limits. Absolutely love the red fish prints!
@averydow-kenny6 ай бұрын
Since I haven’t built up a big traction yet I haven’t found a problem with the standard size since I can easily go smaller and it does allow you to print on longer paper just not wider. I opted for this size printer mainly for price and the space I have available right now, but in the future I would love to print bigger works. I’d have to do more research on printers or print on demand, but I think if I’m not going to be making loads of big products then I would probably opt for print on demand services, however again that would take more research so I can’t suggest any at the moment. I hope that helped a little. Good luck with your shop planning! 😊
