I CANNOT WAIT for your shop to open!!! I get to have an actual Ashleigh Monet artwork on my wall!!! GAHHHHH 🖤🖤🖤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Can't wait!😁

[@jessomint]

I don't think I've ever been THIS excited for an artist's shop to open. Your style is so my vibe, so I'm eager to buy some goodies!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Aw, yay! I'm so glad! We're so close!

[@darthtequila3741]

same!

[@sarielek]

It's been already a year? That's crazy! I still remember watching your first ever video and thinking how amazing your art is and how you inspire me. I am so so proud of you, opening your own shop, getting sponsors on your videos and people ordering your paintings, you deserve the world! I wish everyone could see what an amazing artist you are and I hope you will grow and earn a lot of money on what you love doing. Good job, you worked hard! ❤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thanks so much! 🖤 You are the sweetest!

[@MistyFunderburk]

Same with the first episode....ive been with you on this trip if her awesome videos and have enjoyed them all!

[@SoCraftastic]

You’ve gotten so much done already!! I’m excited for your launch! I especially love your mascot, all the cat designs, & the voodoo doll. 💗

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thank you so much! It still feels like I could use a week of doing nothing else besides printing, cutting, and shop prep. Hahaha. Goodbye sleep for now! 😂

[@DarkSoulMom]

Look how far you’ve come in just one year! You’re an inspiration and love watching your journey

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thank you so much!

I like the rounded corners on the first one ❤ but it is up to you ofc❤❤❤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I think I’m going to do it that way. Thanks for the input!

[@rosebud8217]

I love the look of the rounded edges on the thank you card. I can't wait to order!

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I 💯 love them for the thank you card, my only concern is the print. If someone wants to put it in a frame, the rounded corners will be visible. I’m leaning toward rounding though. Thanks for the input!

[@wickedozma]

I'm totally obsessed with all your sticker choices! Can't wait to order. 😍

Glad you like them!

I watched this video the other day when it came out, but I had to come back because I just remembered your PLANT MONSTERs & thought they would work perfectly for stickers!

I LOVE the sphynx cat print. I have 3 sphynx cats one of which looks just like the print. I wish I could send you a picture of her. ❤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

That's so cool!

[@Catherine-lq2dl]

I am so hoping she can ship to my country. Because I want all of this 😍😍😍

[@artwithashleighmonet]

I will for sure be offering a non-trackable option using stamps for international orders. Tracked packages are instantly much more expensive and could equal or in some cases exceed the cost of the merch itself, but maybe I'll still offer the option in case someone wants to pay for the added security.

[@reallifeharley3486]

Think this is the earliest iv ever been for a video 😂. I'm so excited for your launch!! Best of luck with everything (not that you need it) your gonna smash it!! I absolutely adore you and your videos ❤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thanks so much! I’m so excited!

[@theillustratedauthordesign]

Something to keep in mind using Procreate! Make sure your DPI is 300, it likes to default to 72. Also, when you are setting up your canvas, make it CMYK to keep the color as close to print color as possible. Default is RGB. I love Clip Studio Paint almost more than Photoshop. And Clipstudio has one of the best line art pens.

[@artwithashleighmonet]

So true! Luckily, I didn’t have to learn that the hard way. The class started with her talking about creating canvases, and I created a massive one that's actually at 600 dpi with the CMYK settings, so if I just keep using that, I don’t even have to think about it. But I hear you - I can’t imagine doing all of that work and then you go to print and it looks NOTHING like how it should!

[@theillustratedauthordesign]

@@artwithashleighmonet Yay! That is great she immediately went with 600 dpi and told everyone. I've seen a lot of first time procreate users not realize and it breaks my heart.

[@juliecollins4441]

Absolutely fantastic ❤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

[@lasbaby]

So excited for your shop, but since you’re doing it all yourself give yourself time. Also for your bundle stickers, you are supper kind I would’ve left it as a page of stickers versus cutting each individually. As always love the work and CHEERS TO A YEAR! 😊

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thank you! Honestly the original plan was to do them as a sticker sheet, but then I would have only been able to get 2 batches out of each page. But when I tried to Tetris them around, I could fit 3. But since they’re arranged all out of order, that forced me into die cuts…

[@lasbaby]

@@artwithashleighmonet Ahhh that makes sense. I’m so excited for your success. Remember to take it easy on yourself with being your own boss 🙃

I’m soooo excited to see your shop up and running hoping there will be shipping to the UK 🤞🏻🤞🏻 good luck in your new venture xx

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Yay! Yes! I’m definitely going to offer the option to ship internationally using stamped, untracked mail. I’m on the fence about offering a tracked option. It would be very expensive, so I don’t know if anyone would even want it.

[@tarawhite24]

Aw, I love your baby bat she is adorable! I was late to your last video, but my suggestion for a mascot was a bat cat, I would still love to see you create your own bat cat 🦇🐈‍⬛️

[@loveyourcreations]

So excited for your shop to open! I’m so happy for you and all your progress it’s so inspiring! I think a sticker of your melty clock would be sooo cool! 😃 Oh and your vampire drinking wine in bath as a print or holo sticker!! 🧛🏻‍♀️🍷

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thank you! I'll keep those in mind!🖤

[@mchobbit2951]

I loved the idea of a cat, but I'm thrilled that we ended up with Gwennie instead. You are SO productive. I'm not in the US, you I sadly cannot order from your shop but I wish you all the luck because you deserve it. You are insanely talented and a pleasure to watch.

[@artwithashleighmonet]

Thanks so much! I will be offering a non-tracked envelope option using stamps for international orders if you are interested! Also, digital downloads of the prints! Tracked packages can easily cost more than merch though.

[@mchobbit2951]

@@artwithashleighmonet If there are digital downloads, I'm definitely getting an Elvira print! Will there be digital downloads of Gwennie to purchase as well?

I was going to buy one of those cheap cutty things but it didn’t seem to work with iPads and have been sulking because it was so cheap but thanks to you I now know I dodged a bullet 😁 I like the sphinx ❤

[@artwithashleighmonet]

The unfortunate part is the cutter aspect of it worked great! And it was so quiet compared to the silhouette, but no matter how many calibrations I ran, updating the firmware, changing my page sizes… it would cut the top maybe 3 inches of a sticker sheet perfectly and then as it went down would just get further and further from where it was supposed to be. And yes, will not communicate with an iPad. I had to hook it up to my laptop.

[@lozantoninocreations]

Good luck with it all. I think Voodoo Victor would go so well as the horror version of one of Sarah's cutsie bears. I always love your work. I need some of your imagination, as I have a couple of projects which I am thinking of, which are up your ally. One is a skull horror one and the other is a mermaid. Both subjects will totally remind me of you :)

Congratulations on your shop, Ashleigh! And I had that exact same experience when I was building my website on Wix with the AI tool. I haven’t published mine yet cuz I wanna be sure I have a quality website before I publish it, but I guess the AI template isn’t permanent and I can change anything I want
