My goodness how do you get it all done(mom, wife, school, full time job, you tube, etsy shop owner)?! please do a video on that lol 😊

[@emilyrobertson2704]

It's so true your ending "how does she do it all" I always brag to my mom about you are such a go-getter. wife, mother, full-time job, studying for CPA, youtuber, now an Etsy shop owner! amazing

[@sonjamarkwart8023]

So fun. Thank you for sharing. And I appreciate that your shop is a la carte. I ended up with just the stickers I wanted.

[@My_Royal_Life]

Glad you and your family can bond while working on this! It was fun to see your process!

[@sarahkenney5921]

You are so organized with your Etsy shop! I'm impressed. My workshop constantly looks like a tornado hit it.

[@MS-pr9jz]

I love the notebook idea! I'm going to try that out!

[@ericachardonnay]

Thank you for sharing. I am inspired by how thorough you are! Love your products!

[@Practice_Kindness-1st]

A big congratulations to you for opening your own Etsy shop and for it becoming a fantastic side business too! I just took a peek and you've got a ton of very pretty stickers. I love the fact that you are SO organized and are making great use of your home office. It's so pretty!

[@Lovemonniibee]

This is ice! It's always interesting to see other people doing their craft! Hope all is well ❤️

[@MandyLynnPlans]

This video is so timely!! So thankful that you are so open in sharing your process!! I am opening my shop this weekend and was very excited to see your whole series!

[@bethanymason6510]

Thank you so much for such an in-depth detailed video!

[@sassyhappyplannergirl364]

I just placed a order. Cannot wait to get them.

[@erldraws1542]

Thris video is so informative. I’m actually doing my research on running an etsy store. Because I want to know if it will be the perfect platform for my stationery shop. Thanks for this! 🙏🤩

[@ericluis2290]

sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!

[@khrystynhamm]

You need a white board for your inventory

[@imzadilynn]

If you have a laminator, that might also be an idea for the inventory tracker.

[@joshoemaker64]

Also...instead of having to recount every sticker each time, why don't you just subtract the quantity you sold from your prior beginning balance. For the ones with the "~" mark, you can probably easily see if you still have enough or if you just need to count for an exact remaining quantity. Another idea could be an excel spreadsheet that automatically updates with each order you enter. That could be good as you could track which stickers sell the best for you. Just an idea.

[@jdawg414]

Or a spreadsheet. 🙂

[@helensansone5467]

So many good ideas! I actually love the pencil method she showed and I think I'll do the same.

[@monicab28]

I would laminate your inventory page so you can just use erasable markers on it.

[@malloriemoreno4263]

You are such a girl boss inspiration. I am struggling with full time work and full time school and ONE part time job. I have no idea how I would do it with a toddler

[@Girlsholicxo]

Thank you for listing the products. I’ve been searching for a good printer for personal use!

[@AmyKattre]

Just ordered for the first time about a week ago and was amazed at how fast they came. Love your videos and can’t wait to start budgeting!

[@maureenp7082]

Thanks for the inside info on how you make stickers. I was curious and you answered most of the questions I had about the process. Thanks so much for another great video!

[@joinmeinthedirt5186]

I just put my order in, I love watching how organized you are. I have 2 machines and never tried printing or cutting stickers. My daughter orders the PDF's because she is low income and I thought I could help her by using my silhouette but that never happened.

[@barbarahatfield8027]

Wow I find this is a lot bravo . This is a job wow . maybe it’s not hard but lots to do thanks for sharing all this with us

[@LifewiththePartyFavorLady]

Hi sara, What kind of sticker paper do you use?

[@jaelleerica]

This is so freaking awesome!!!! Dream job!!!

[@laurad9735]

I love your videos!! Can’t wait to order March 😍

[@helensansone5467]

This is so awesome Sarah I loved watching you do this. I finally figured out the silhouette software just recently and I'm obsessed. Thanks for sharing :)

[@cynthianieto9826]

Thanks for sharing. I was so engaged and I dont even have a shop.

[@merridithnewman2400]

Can't wait for you to ship International!! Looking forward to that.

[@lamkiska]

Thank you! I absolutely love my stickers.

[@karrysmith9336]

So awesome sara thank you for sharing

[@nataashatorzsa]

I would be using an excel spreadsheet to keep inventory. It will be much easier!

[@MaryZoles]

Thank you for showing us your process!!

[@Lindsay____xo]

Such a great video! So interesting 😊

[@joshoemaker64]

Another great video. Will you be doing one on how it is you actually design & layout the stickers? What software program do you use...Silhouette Studio or something else? Just curious as this seems to be one of my biggest hurdles. ANY help you can share would be MUCH appreciated. You're kicking butt & doing great...keep up the great job!

[@caitlinlorea912]

JOANNA SHOEMAKER probably not in that much detail because then people could just copy her designs and make their own. From what it looks like she uses silhouette studio which is a free program you can design directly in. And once again I’ll direct you to inspired blush KZbin channel because she talks about how to get digital paper and how to put in your designs and dimensions and all of that.

[@joshoemaker64]

@@caitlinlorea912 Yes, I checked out the other channel. I was mainly asking Sara where she gets her "inspiration". I know all about Silhouette, but that's for responding for her.

[@caitlinlorea912]

I was just saying that I highly doubt she’ll fit a video on that because it makes it easy for people to copy. That’s all. I was trying to be helpful since you said that was one of your biggest hurdles was not knowing the program to use. Sorry if it came across a different way.

[@joshoemaker64]

@@caitlinlorea912 No problem. I everyone has to learn somehow.

[@jeanneluddeni5159]

I love this it's great perfect timing for me.

[@mel92765]

This is a great video, thank you!

[@booth284]

Great info and good to understand the process 👍🏻👍🏻

[@takthitima]

Great video. I am trying to set myself up too and I have Cameo V.3. Would you mind sharing what type of sticker paper you use, as well as the setting of the 'blade, speed, force and pass' on the cutting machine (to make it kiss-cut your sticker and at the same time, to cut all the way through for the whole sticker sheet)?

[@LouiseMcvey]

See after u have it all packed ect do u need to take it into post office and do more stuff to send ...or could u put them straight in a post box ? Xx

[@Inspirebloom319]

Can’t wait for March 😁 it’s my birthday month! Love the a la carte style!!!

[@ireneveraperez]

Hi Sara! What are your thoughts on matless cutting? Have you tried it?

[@JMJMJ1]

Amazing! How did you get the knowledge of doing this? And the energy besides family, working and studying?

[@tinster01]

I am always hearing horror stories of returns and customers not liking what they have purchased have you seen much of that?

[@SaraMarie]

I haven’t! But I also mention on my Etsy shop that I don’t accept returns or exchanges. I make sure to include multiple photos in my listings as well as show the stickers on KZbin so most customers have a pretty good idea of what they’re getting.

[@naafiahussainy9407]

Hii Sara, I love how you manage your Etsy Shop. I am learning you so one day I sell stickers like you. Do you use any software to make stickers like procreate or photoshop?

[@simplykamy]

Loving all of your series so much new sub!!

[@jimmyfavereau]

ur awEsome ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing...

[@sarahbast2075]

Have you done a design video?

[@TinaC982]

This is so interesting! I recently found your channel and planning, it’s so nice to see the face that comes with the voice (and hands)! Lol you’re so pretty! Great video ❤️❤️

[@sophiagh06]

Hi, how does the little printer thing that printed the shipping labels print off etsy?? Can you explain that part more?

[@brittanytemme4317]

which Machine do you use or prefer to make sticker?

[@habe8532]

Hi, where can I get the dividers that you use for the inventory in the small container?

[@niquepittman6040]

Have you considered making your budget stickers into printables?

[@anjawiniger5151]

That would be awesome...

[@carolinad9133]

Great idea! I would totally buy them!

[@christinaromaniello7971]

I have the hp printer 7855 also and for some reason it doesn’t work with sticker paper. It always get jammed. Did you change the settings some how? If so, do you mind telling me how ??? Thank you 😃

[@peachyplanner4834]

Wow! Great info!! Does the Cameo require a monthly subscription like Cricut to use the machine?

[@pray.plan.repeat2951]

loved this video

[@ravenharris502]

What kind of paper do you use?

[@SaraMarie]

I use removable matte 😊

[@wil2272]

When will you be releasing March stickers?

[@SaraMarie]

Friday morning 😊

[@irinagarmon1984]

I love your information on all your videos. How do you post the pics on your listings, in other words do you take pics or do u use photo shop?

[@SaraMarie]

I take pictures

[@vodz-ws5yr]

How often do you check your PO box to make sure there are no lost mail situations?

[@SaraMarie]

I check daily! When I drop off orders I also check the PO Box to make sure there are no returned orders

[@vodz-ws5yr]

@@SaraMarie thank you!

[@cookwithirmiiita]

Does anyone know what font she uses for the budgeting stickers?

[@andrealove215]

What setting do you have your printer on? I bought that exact one but I’m having problems with the printing quality

[@origamifish5931]

does anyone know if you would be allowed to design your own stickers but then have them printed by another company? i have been trying to look into this on etsy, but i wasn't totally clear on weather this was allowed or not.

[@ewbo0228]

What sticker paper do you use to print onto??

[@daisyg1201]

do u do candle labels

[@onefinetop]

I just came across your channel and you are very beautiful to look at :)

[@jonathansukanto6799]

She is awesome. I already subscribe this channel. I love it. Please make video again. Hi i'm from indonesia. Thank you

[@TheAverageLifeCassandraA]

Absolutely love this video. I just did a sticker haul featuring your product! I love and appreciate if you would check it out. Thanks for sharing the process. I’m excited to see March’s kit

[@putnamdesign1072]

Do you have to log into Etsy to see if you have orders or do they notify you?

[@SaraMarie]

I get a notification every time an order is placed

[@elieceisome2428]

You ever thought of automating your inventory instead of using a tablet and pen and erasing?

[@marieunuka1688]

New subby :) great video!

[@paulathompson1985]

Congrats on the shop. Love your videos . I’m wondering what made u decide to open a shop. I am realizing that quite a few you tubers that i follow who does budget videos are also opening Etsy shops. Was this a request from your followers or this was the next step in your growth in your personal life. Also will you be offering more types of stickers. Will you be covering the design process .. again great video..

[@SaraMarie]

Thanks! Honestly I decided to open up my shop because I felt like there wasn’t a great selection of budget stickers out there that fit my budget style. Since starting, I’ve kind of fallen in love with making them and the whole process 😊

[@paulathompson1985]

Sara Marie continue the great work.

[@madihaikram5875]

How much inventory should we have to be ready with before launching and opening of Etsy shop

[@sarahkenney5921]

Ahmed, that is really going to vary depending on how quickly you can get the inventory that you need to do an order. Honestly, I would start out with having just a few things in inventory and go ahead an open your shop. That way you can get a feel for how much traffic you are going to get and which items people are going to be buying. When I started out, I had 1 item that was REALLY popular and other items I didn't hardly sell at all. You never really know. Also, it takes a while to get good traffic to your shop. It can be a bit of a learning curve. Good luck! It's a lot of fun.

[@mrdarrenj913]

Great video, and thank you for sharing!

[@aclineo]

There are Etsy sticker shops that are full-on small businesses with employees...what if your shop blows up to that point? Would you ever give up accounting to focus on the shop?

[@juliana22]

But she has worked so hard to get her masters and cpa. I think she does is a a hobby. How she manages it all at the same it's unbelievable:) you go Sara Marie!

[@amberslagle5400]

I cant get your etsy shop link to work 😥
