Thanks Emma! That was wonderful… and reassuring… and inspiring! I’d like to see them all but washi tape /cards (particularly finding a printer that has eco credentials!!) /wooden decorations and wrapping - tissue papers?! Love your outtakes too😉

Hi Emma, thanks for your great videos! I´m from Germany and I somehow came across your channel. During the Lockdown, I began to write stories for children and started to read them out on my little KZbin channel. I´m not a great illustrator, but I try to paint a picture for the Thumbnail of each video. Your videos have encouraged me to find my own style and keep on painting 🥰🎨

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

Aw thank you so much 😊 what a fun project to share with your children too! I bet they’ve enjoyed them.

[@mzzbevcreates]

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

Great tips and recommendations, looking forward to the rest of this video series! I'd love to hear more about washi tape designing. I'm hoping to eventually open an Etsy shop, I have lots of ideas written down in a notebook, I just need to turn more of them into finished designs/paintings already 😅

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

Thanks Aerieana 😊 glad to hear you've got loads of ideas. It's so helpful having a notebook of ideas to come back to. We've got two votes for washi tape so far 😁 I'll definitely make a video all about it soon!

[@cindyloo94]

Love your vlog! Thank you for all the information. Your timing is great! I'm just working on starting starting a shop. I have just orded sample boxes and products. Love to learn more about creating stickersheets and washi tape. I still need to work out how to start an Etsy shop or create a shop on my website. Enough to keep me busy :) Have a nice day! - Iris -

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

Glad it was helpful Iris 😊🌷 and how exciting you're starting your shop soon! That's great you've ordered some samples too. It's always easier to see what the quality is like if you can touch it and see it in real life. I'm planning on making a tutorial on how to set up your Etsy shop in the suture too. 💕

[@irisvanvelzen]

Thanks for your reply! I am a print nerd ;) I absolutely love printed products, for me that is the end product.@@EmmaCarpenterIllustration that would be so helpful a tutorial on how to set up your Etsy shop.

Thank you so much! I’m literally studying for the opening of my Etsy shop, while putting money aside for a print etc. And you have been sooo helpful! Just saving your video in my Etsy Shop Playlist 🌈🌸

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

You’re welcome ☺️🌼 glad you found it helpful and good luck opening your shop!

[@Mr.Ali_Ryuji]

This business is enjoyful and comforting while giving income but the tiring parts is when you realise you need to improve your own drawing. That what happening to me it exhaust me but the feel of this comforting business make me continue to learning more and more.

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

Thank you Mr Ali ☺️ that’s really kind of you. I know what you mean about feeling like you need to improve your drawings. I think every artist goes through that, even artists that have been practicing for years. Glad you found the video helpful 🌼

[@linsaraillustration]

Thats very informational. Yes please, all 😃

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

😁 hehe coming soon!

[@jayeagle2435]

I use greetings cards as prints ♡♡♡ as sometimes I can't afford a print. Xx

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

That's a great idea! 😊 I'm planning on launching some new greeting cards soon, let me know if there's any particular designs you'd like to see 💕

[@jayeagle2435]

All the readers would make lush cards nice as a set too, and the blueberry girls, and the ghosts, nice set too... Haha, I love all your work 💕 all would look lovely. Greetings cards with the sneaky kettle and the tea cup would be very cool, especially as the pins would go with them, a gift and a card that matches 😁

My problem is gaing traction on my shop

[@EmmaCarpenterIllustration]

My shop took a while to get sales, and there’s definitely slow periods sometimes. I’m trying to get better at promoting my work, because if you don’t tell people about it they don’t know it exists 😅 Hope that helps 🌸 I’ll see what other information I can find for a future video too.
