[@EnsignInsights]

Oh awesome! I’m so glad this helps!!

I like the laser light for straight lines. That was new to me. I'm thinking my next bullet journal is going to be blank. I really don't like the dots in my final look, and the laser will help me with my new journal.

[@EnsignInsights]

Ooh yes! I think a laser level would really help with that! I understand wanting the dots for alignment but not wanting them in the final piece!

[@aovoonthefarmsouthernillinois]

Nice video. I just ordered the Black and Decker Laser Level. Thank you.

[@hizumisplayground6548]

I absolutely can't live without a "scribble book". No matter what project i begin, i always have a very cheap blank tiny book besides me, where i can try out stuff, before i decide if i want to use it in my final design or not. I try our spacing as well as some decorative pieces and if it would look good in my final project. This way i don't have to get rid of old little notepads or old sketchbooks i wouldn't use otherwise.

[@EnsignInsights]

I love that idea! A scribble book sounds perfect. Because it’s a notebook you don’t care about, you’re free to make mistakes and explore! Thanks for sharing!

[@aryalynx]

What brush markers are you using right at the beginning of the video? :)

[@tanvinaik736]

very awesome video sarah all the best and keep it up

[@EnsignInsights]

Thank you for watching! I’m glad it helps!

[@sparklefulpaladin]

Less of a priority, but I found that I’ve been using a corner rounding punch very frequently. Also, small boxes for paper scraps and a larger document box for full sheets of paper can help keep things organized. The other really strange thing I use a lot is a small white board to help keep track of projects or plan quick layouts out. Also, depending on the style of calligraphy, having a solid, smooth board to hold at an angle can also be very helpful =) I use clear boxes for my pens and then have a smaller non-clear bag that I keep in my backpack with a variety of older supplies for being on the go.

[@EnsignInsights]

Ooh yes! Thanks for sharing! I want to try a corner rounding punch!

[@rauchschwalbelp7693]

An eraser shield! It helps so so much when you don't want to gerade everything. You can also use it as a stencil or a small ruler.

[@MxMvskoke]

Do you REGULARLY purchase bullet journaling supplies from any companies OWNED by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and other People of Color)? Do you mention/shout out/boost BIPOC creatives? This DOES NOT include during Black History Month, Latinx Heritage Month and Native Indigenous Heritage Month.

[@jessicat3762]

I use washi and frisket a lot, everything that's on your list I use but also I have markers that when they run out I clean them out and use alcohol in them to blend alcohol based markers. I also keep a new men's razor (random I know) but when felt nibs start to fray I have a technique to shave off those frays and make the nib come to a point again

[@EnsignInsights]

Ok you are blowing my mind with that razor trick! I need to try that!!

[@Queena90]

Lmfao! I never thought of this as a calligraphy tool! Genius!!! Someone should make girly laser levels now. And give me not even 10%, just 5😂

[@marthav4326]

Omg all of them but new to me was the laser tape measure. Genius!

[@tayladale7870]

Hi where would I be able to get all the stuff from I'm learning how to hand letter and struggling with supplies I'm hoping you can reply and leave the link on it to help me would mean a lot love your vids I'm subscribed thank you for your time.

Great video!!! Thank you!! The iPad also has a few apps that turn your iPad into a light pad and it's really helpful if you want to try or can't afford one right away.

[@EnsignInsights]

Ooh that’s so helpful! For someone who already has an iPad that’s perfect!

[@arinamy6168]

I was waiting for water brush in your video and yeay you included it!!!!!!! Oh and one thing I wanna ask, how did you save your finished project? I means you've done this for years now so must be a lot to save but how did you save them? Thank you for sharing this with us. I always wanted the laser...oh and the kneaded eraser, I saw a lot of them at the store but never thought to try them..might try to get them soon too.

[@EnsignInsights]

Oh yay! Thanks for watching! With my old lettering pieces, some I keep, some I give away. I showed a little more of that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpPYfGSgZ8xkrMU

I would add a gum eraser (Marshalls) to the list. It works beautifully on all kinds of pencils. I love it!

Thank you for the video, some really good ideas, I have now ordered the Helix circle maker, as that will be very handy for all aspects of my card making. Love the idea of clear storage, I don't like having to rifle through to find things either, slowly expanding my storage to make things easier to find, as over time we do seem to buy more things. The laser light is a brilliant idea too!

[@EnsignInsights]

Aww yes! Clear storage was a game changer for me!

[@sylviawilliams6950]

Thanks for video. Where did you get storage case with 8 sections around 3:13 minutes in video

I'm definitely would love to add the laser pad, clear containers and the helix circle maker. Loved this video. Was so helpful. You could also add stencils (like the circle maker) with different shapes like stars, lines etc. With Which we can do different background shapes Or writing cardboard pads and paper clips to hold paper especially bullet journal. I use them all the time

You said about the kneaded eraser could erase pencil below color, I would have liked to see that. Great video, though.

[@EnsignInsights]

Oh that’s a good clarification! I didn’t mean it to sound like kneaded erasers can erase under ink. They just help to get the pencil light enough that you can still see it, but not under the ink. Thanks for bringing that up! And thanks for watching!
