Hey my sweet pen friends! Today’s video is all about how I started my sticker shop without a cutting machine. ✂️✨ I’m not trying to dispute the fact that having a cutting machine would be far more efficient, but as I mentioned I’m still saving up for one and in the meantime, here’s how I’m getting on without it 🙂 Do you have a cutting machine for your sticker shop? 💭

[@angelamc3532]

I have just a regular old apple ipad. Can I use this to create stickers?? Or does it need to be something more, or a certain app?

[@jettartz462]

I agree! I have a Cricut machine and I am happy that I could print and cut from home, but I would recommend looking into manufactures that offer samples. I care a lot about quality and I have bought from Stickerninj. I've had a great experience with them. I love the planner stickers that I am creating; my goal for 2021 I hope to make more bundles items for the shop.

[@thedevinluu]

Ooh, thank you so much for sharing your insights! 🤗 I appreciate it so much! And that's an awesome goal to have for the new year. Looking forward to seeing more bundles from you 😉

[@aongv]

Dang girl! You cut them like a machine. I def can’t cut like that. Nice job!

[@pausesiponder]

Ahhh amazing. Love the idea of utilizing with what you have on a budget, and cutting is satisfying to me hehe. Thank you for this. Can’t wait to get started

[@melissajenkins9960]

I have a silhouette portrait I got years ago, haven't tested to see if it still works (it turns on at least, LOL). So I am cutting by hand. I got some spring-loaded scissors from Fiskars.. the kind you squeeze and it doesn't have the finger holes. It saves my hand! I find that cutting by hand leaves less sticker paper waste, which is nice. I don't like throwing all that left over stuff away!! Also, cutting by hand is oddly satisfying. But.. it is MUCH slower than a machine.

[@Soapartisan875]

Friends you can use a non-stick pair of detail scissors to cut sticky vinyl paper stickers . I use Cutter Bee scissors but other brands also carry non-stick detail scissors they work great ..

[@ranemhamdy2675]

i have been waiting for this video yaaayy ❤️❤️🌎

[@LYNDAVIDCHANNEL11]

This is the best idea! Because i dont also have enough money to buy cutting machine. Thank you.

[@NotTheMomma]

This is where I'm at right now. I reopened my store selling stickers I checked out ur store from a previous video of urs and that's where I'm at. Great video.

[@thedevinluu]

Sending you lots of good vibes and wishing you the best of luck on your shop re-opening! ♥️✨ Thank you so much for watching! 🤗

[@viridianapena4584]

Thank you for the information I will look into stickerapp for die cut stickers when I do open my own Etsy shop. Thank you for sharing the type of sticker paper you use. I will give it a try.

[@leahreitzelentrena45]

Love your Philippines design stickers..❤️❤️❤️ Proud Pinay!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@paml1161]

I have received some of your stickers and I have to say you are very very good at cutting those by hand. I love the stickers.

[@thedevinluu]

Hi Pam! Oh yay, I'm so glad they got to you safely! 🙏 And thank you! I do my best to cut them with as much care as possible. 🤗 Please take care and thank you so much for your support! ❤️

[@marymiller6942]

Such a helpful video, thank you!!!!!!

[@cookiescream1264]

Magnificent💜💜💜💜💜

[@johnlopez3996]

A Brother cutting machine? Is this the same company that makes typewiters? If that is true, then it must be very durable. I used a Brother Student Writer XL typewriter in high school and college, and it never let me down. You are very meticulous with your cutting. Thanks for your presentation. Take care.

[@thedevinluu]

Hi John! Yes, I believe it’s the same company. 🙂 They also make great sewing machines! 🧵 Do you still have that same typewriter? Thank you so much! I try my best to be as careful as possible. 🙏🏼 Hope you’re doing well and taking care!

[@luvpaparollie2140]

hello mam,you are so brilliant ,i have a sticker shop too,here in my house ,they call it homebase ..congrats mam..iba ang pinoy!!

[@QueenHonestlySavage]

Yes I am thinking about opening my script shop I wouldn't be drawing i would be providing scripts cause of my handwriting.

[@thedevinluu]

Oh my gosh, that sounds awesome! 😍👏🏼✨ I’ve been thinking about incorporating more handwritten goods on my shop as well. ✍🏼 Please keep us posted on how your shop launch goes 🙂

[@j.nelson9587]

What app do you use for illustrating your stickers?

[@GraceFilled]

Your so beautiful and I love this! Have you purchased your machine yet? Or still cutting by hand? 💞💖

[@maiabeth]

Love this 👍🏻

[@MsVNG]

Are you open to doing custom sticker sheets? I’m thinking of a full printable page of the safari pens. Possibly if you design a page of bottles with an ink swatch spot/square that’d be fun to use in a bullet journal.

[@thedevinluu]

I definitely would be and LOVE that idea! 😍♥️ I’m going to work on it! 💡🙂

[@seekinghappy]

Thank you for this!!!

[@thedevinluu]

Thank you for watching! 🙂🙏🏼

[@kawaiime_official]

is it just me, i think you look 10 years younger w/o makeup. W/ or w/o makeup you are still pretty gorgeous 🤍

[@thedevinluu]

Aw, hehe thanks! ☺️♥️🙏You are too kind!

[@ranemhamdy2675]

Oh this gone help me alot ❤️❤️

[@thedevinluu]

[@lillyxpadxxfan9869]

[@ArmyWifeBudgets]

Cook you're from my home town.

I truely want to be your friend

[@rissajaneen]

Just curious... but is the stuff in your Etsy shop selling? I just wondered if you had started the shop and immediately had much success with downloads and die cuts. I know that you do have a small youtube channel to help drive sales to the shop, but I guess that I've never started an Etsy because I worried that there were too many other creators already!

[@thedevinluu]

Hi Marissa! 🤗 Hope you’re doing well! 🙏🏼 I believe that a lot of my support for my shop comes from this community and I’m very grateful for every sale that comes in. My Etsy stats show that about 85% of the traffic going to my shop is from my social media. I went into this venture knowing it would be a side project and set the expectation that I’d just see what would happen. Make stuff that I would use and share. 🤗 Everything else has just been a plus! I’d say if you’re thinking about it, go for it especially if you’re going to end up wondering, “what if?” There is always room for the best and no one can do you better than YOU 🤗♥️🙏🏼

[@shaguftakhanam2895]

I want a free printer link as offer because im poor and my friend got free ipad and printer i want it too but iam not soo good maybe to have one so i gave up on my dreams what else can i even do?
