@The_goat-00 Yes absolutely! 😍😍😍 Oh my gosh, I was GENUINELY sat here thinking “I’d love to make a drawing tutorial but I don’t know if there’s interest” when your comment came in. What are the chances 😂 Thank you so much for asking 🥰

It is! I used Printed.com and their mesh fabric option. It’s waterproof and has tiny holes in it, so you can use it outside without worrying about water and wind 😊

@@EvyBenita that’s brilliant!!! Thank you!!! ❤️

@Bobayoda eeeek thank you so much friend! 🥹

🐍💚

I know what you mean! I wrongfully assumed it would be similar to Cricut’s one but it’s surprisingly different.

@EvyBenita Thank you again too for the help with the 5MB problem. Your suggestion worked and I was able to print and cut my sticker sheets perfectly! 😭

It was delicious!! 🥳 And thank you so much 🥰 I started off by selling hand cut stickers and polymer clay charms, then ran a Kickstarter to fund my first set of enamel pins. After the Kickstarter, I had enough left to buy a Cricut Maker, so I started selling sticker sheets and bookmarks. And slowly expanded like that ☺️ Most of my enamel pins have been funded through either Kickstarter projects, Patreon or pre-orders over the years. I highly recommend Kickstarter to anyone wanting to give it a go. A lot of small business owners use it to fund product collections 🥰

@@EvyBenita Omg you are the coolest person ever thanks for sharing that info, I will definitely consider Kickstarter! I need to consider that because enamel pins is something I've always wanted to do, but I don't have the money front the cost without knowing if anyone is going to buy it. But campaigns ca be a low risk way to see if you'll have enough orders. I just started and it's hard to patient and build up ;_;

Not at the moment 💔💔💔 I’m hoping it’s only temporary! 🥹 I have an EU VAT system in the shop, so it’s only the new GSPR system that’s potentially a problem, I need to have a good read through it ☺️

🥳🥳🥳 Honestly, it’s been such a nice and welcome change. Love it ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my gosh hiii!!! Thank you! 🥹 The internet works in mysterious ways 😄💖💖💖

Not a whole lot to be perfectly honest 😄 But there are a few small differences: The pink one is an older model. It’s a bit bulkier and takes a teeeny tiny bit longer to print, but not by much. The purple one is a new model. It’s smaller, more compact, and one of the features is “zero paper jam technology”. But I never had issues with paper jamming in the old one, so I can’t say that particular feature has made any difference to me. Personally I think the older one is easier to load, because it only has one button, but the newer one is easier to use: it connects better, prints faster, and recognizes my paper quicker ☺️

@@EvyBenita thank you for such a quick response. I wanted to try the latest product so this was very helpful.

Oh wow that’s so cool! I bought a ton of stickers from them for my nieces and nephews, I wonder if some of them were yours 😍 Honestly it was the most wonderful experience, I would go back 100 times if I could.

@@EvyBenita Maybe! It's one of my favorite small towns in my home state, so I'm glad you got to enjoy it 😊

Awe no way, I’ve never met a dog that looks like him! That’s such a special bond you had with him 🥰❤️ We rehomed him in February so he’s been with us for almost a full year now, and seems to have settled in nicely haha. Ahhh enamel pins are so much fun to design, aren’t they? That feeling of opening a box and seeing what the final product turned out like… It never gets old 🥰❤️

That’s so lovely, thank you for coming by! I hope you have a wonderful KZbin adventure. It’s such a sweet place to be and the community is lovely 🥰❤️❤️❤️

It’s such a hit and miss whether or not the sticker gods are on our side 😂 I haven’t used a Silhouette in a long time, that sounds brilliant! Might need one to complete my shelf hehehe 💕 The Cricut can generate bleeds for you but only on single stickers, so I still have to draw them for sticker sheets 🙈🙈🙈 Best of luck on your sticker production 🥳🥳🥳💪

Hehe I will take any accomplishment I can for this day! 😂 Oh my gosh I love Mexican food. I had cactus tacos once and it was the most delicious thing ever, but I’ve never found them again 💔

Right??? 🤣 The even scarier part was the thought of “is this what my drawings look like to other people??” 😂😂😂

🥰❤️❤️❤️

I’m really happy you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for watching 🥰❤️❤️❤️

That’s such a cool way of collecting!!! I’m gonna have a look at these right now, thank you 🥹 And oh my gosh, trading cards in your art style would be so lovely!! I will definitely be picking some up hehe ❤️

Ahaha that’s so funny, I had the biggest fallout with my Cricut a handful of years ago and only recently allowed it back into my life 🤣🤣🤣 They had this strange bug for years, and I kept reporting it but was told there was no bug because they couldn’t find it… Flash forward four years and they released a firmware update that fixed it. And now it works like a charm 🥹 So happy I didn’t trash it lol

Also, how steady must your hands be!! 😍

Oh thank you so much! And I hope you have fun with the machine 🥳 I’ve just fired mine up this morning for a new round of sticker sheets, they’re absolute champs 💪

You're so nice, thank you!! That means a lot and I'm glad you like them 🤗

You too! I find that shipping is always my killer so if I can delegate that for all non-shop projects, then we should be on a good track 😂 Really excited for this year!

Happy New Year and all my love to you and yours! ❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Isn't that ALWAYS the way! 😂💔 I can't even count the times my Kickstarter faves have been absolute flops in the shop (looking at you, Galactic Reef Manta Ray 😂), and also the number of times a Kickstarter flopper has become a shop bestseller. My favorite underdog champion is the giant isopod from Cosmic Sea. I think I sold less than 10 of them on Kickstarter but in the shop I've had to restock them in the hundreds 😂

@ it’s always the isopod! They are my bestseller too on their 4th restock I’m currently grading 😂

🙌🤗💚🌱

You're right, thumbnails are an important thing.

@seankivi I'm a thumbnail designer so I know pretty much

I've never had numbers like these at any other event, I wish I did 😍💚 My markets usually do £100-£200 max on the day, and I'm really happy with those too and just grateful that someone likes my work enough to part with their hard-earned money for it 💚 Best of luck with your 2025 season, I hope you smash it! 🙌

Hehehe I hope you like them! 💚

If it not fits it not coming wits! 😆😆😆 Though if I want to do apparel next year I'm gonna have to revise that rule 😆😆😆😆

Thank you so much! The green is spreading like algae over my branding hahaha, slow and steady! Ooooh the cardstock is a great idea, I'll remember that for next time 😍

Oh no! I used to get that a lot too. I can think of two ways that worked for me on different prints: 1. Do you have gradients in your artwork? Some printers struggle with reading gradients but if you add a 1% or 2% noise filter over it, that often solves it 😊 2. Change the print setting from Normal/Standard to High Quality. This is a weird one, because some papers for me don’t need it at all, while others do 🙈

Thanks so much! The cartridge paper is just your standard basic printer paper, I bought a ton of it years ago and still have a stack 🥳 The accent is Norway hehe! I grew up there but moved to England in 2012 ☺️

@@EvyBenita It is such a cool speaking voice! I adore! Also, I've been looking into these thermal printers now. Did you know Munbyn does a 8.5x11 printer? It can thermal print like... fliers and such. Paperwork for the company. Thank you pages and ads. If you happen to talk to them again, and they're feeling generous, I hope they send you one. I'm a bit reluctant to get one because of the paper quality, but OMG, I think it would be amazing, because it's small enough you can travel with it and print contracts for artworks and everything. Me: drools.

@@EvyBenita I just got a Munbyn on Black Friday and am using it to print the logo of my art collective on holographic stickers and, omgosh, it is epic! Thank you!

Awe thank you! Klaus appreciates this 😁❤️❤️❤️ He is a cross between a Germans Shepherd and Chow Chow. He’s got the size of a German Shepherd but personality and floof-wise he’s all chow haha.
