SHOP LAUNCH VLOG 📦 Behind the scenes of Launching our huge product collection ⭐️ Small Biz Diaries

I have been working away on my small business, prepping towards a autumn product launch, and this week we get to work on the big shop launch for autumn ✨
📦 First we prep our new products like enamel pins ready for packaging as we arrange our stock and organise our shelves
📸 Then we really need to get to work on product photography! I get out my photo props (and realise very quickly that I had the camera on the wrong settings oopsie)
😆 I then decide to add more stress onto my plate and add some last min products, which puts me on a little bit of a time crunch
⭐️ It's then time for the shop update! We watch the shopify ticker countdown as we finally go LIVE!
Lets get to work shall we?!
YOU DA BEST
Love,
Catherine

It always amazes me how you manage to do all the content recording while on a mad rush to do everything else. From a small business to another, it's nothing but a feat of efficiency. Watching your videos makes me have a new appreciation for what we do; I'm a one man band and literally doing 5 peoples jobs. I hope your launch is a success💜

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh my goodness thank you so so much hehe 🌸📸 I have tried to make my set up as efficient as possible so I can just shot my camera up and hit record hehe! ✨ It's so true, small biz owners wear so many hats! YOU DA BEST 🌷

[@lbcrafter8621]

Anyone else love the sound the corner cutting machine makes? ☺

[@antzieisme]

Yes!!

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh it's so satisfying isnt it 🤤⭐🌸🌷

[@ChantelleArts]

Wait you edited 500 photos in one go?? That’s crazy impressive, you’ve done amazing! ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh thank you so much 🌱 my should and neck where killing me by the end though ahha...😅

[@WaddleArt]

You're too adorable for words, Cat. :) I'm so happy to see this video today! It has put the biggest smile on my procrastinating face and I always feel so much motivation and drive after watching! I need to seriously keep your videos on stand-by for artistic sluggishness and motivational pep-talks because they simply work! I'm so happy with the launch and I LOVE my new mats, stickers and pins! I'm excited for the next order already!

[@KatnippStudios]

Oh wow thank you so so much 🌷 This really means the world, I am so happy that you find them encouraging heheh and SUPERRRR happy that you love all your new goodies! Thank you SOOO MCUH YOU DA BEST ⭐🌸🌷

[@kerenvalentin7082]

You're amazing putting everything together and then managing to put more products in. You did it!! Your good at what you do, so don't forget that! Just try not to stress too much, just breathe, you had this all along. Fantastic job!! I just can't help it, but I just love the sound of crackling paper... LOL. 🤗

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh my gosh thank you so so much 🌱😍 what a huge compliment hehe I love the sound of paper too 🤤

[@TheSeeWee]

The desk mats are adorable! Would love a cozy and cute one with neutral shades for all year round 🥰🙏🏻

[@ambercarson9736]

I’m loving how vibrant the new designs are! ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

Thank you so so much ⭐🌸🌷 I do think they look much nicer when they are more bold!

[@nicolarandall176]

Catherine, you can get low or no noise clear packing tape. We sometimes use it at work. I've found it on both Viking and Lyreco. It is definitely a thing! 😊

[@KatnippStudios]

😲 Oh my goodnsss I need to look into this hahahah people must feel the same if they have designed a no noise tape hahah! ⭐🌸🌷

[@nicolarandall176]

@@KatnippStudios our tape gun sounds like a dino 🦕. It doesn't bother me but it does others. Definitely on Lyreco from Scotch but might be pricey.

[@alexaalvarez4987]

Deje de ver tus videos por más de un año porque mi tienda cerró y entre como en depresión, pero ahora he vuelto a abrir una vez más y me surgió el amor por ver este contenido de nuevo y ahora que regreso quede sorprendida por tu enorme cambio físico, no sé por qué o como lo lograste, pero te sigues viendo igual de hermosa. Espero que estes bien y que siga compartiendo esa alegría que te caracteriza, un abrazo 🤗

[@antzieisme]

Hi Catherine! Weird story but I’m tapering my medication and had a mild crisis with confusion and all and my husband had to come get me and I got home, got in my bed and started watching this vlog and it calmed me down and now I feel good again. You are truly good for my soul 🧡 Can’t wait to get the cozy café mousepad! Also, I was wondering if you tried using paper packing tape? Perhaps that one sounds less “icky” to you than the plastic one? Not sure if it would increase costs too much though but it’s just an idea.

[@KatnippStudios]

Oh goodness, I am sorry you went through that, but thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful message 😭⭐🌸🌷 I didn't think to use normal paper tape hehe thats what we actually use on our boxes! Thank you for the tip hehehe ⭐🌸🌷

[@Lauren-iz1hq]

Just been catching up on vlogs and just as I finish a new ones uploaded! Wahoo! ✨⭐️

[@CiaraCiaraCiaraify]

If you use paper tape instead of plastic cellotape it wont make the noise and it means the boxes you use it on are still recyclable :)

[@ariesglamonlineboutique1731]

The pink mugs look wow wow,love it

[@Brittanynmartin]

Cat, I only found your channel a few months ago, but it's very quickly become one of the ones I can't wait to watch new videos from. Your whole vibe is so positive and adorable. ☺🖤

[@sarahlou144]

Thank you anyway for your reply i really appreciate it i know you guys are super busy, 😊

[@DisneyRevive]

They do make noise-less tape, but it is much more expensive.

[@KatnippStudios]

😲 this would be great....but I suppose it does depend on the cost 😅😭

[@heatherhartillustration]

Hi Kat, just wanted to let you know, Quiet tape is a thing. Uline makes it.

[@artbyinky]

I don’t mind tape, but I cringe at the sound of styrofoam especially getting it out of a box or it rubbing together!!

[@heartsandcrafts9742]

You could try wearing headphones while you use the tape dispenser

[@magicwendy210]

love your designs finally ordered some gifts for myself ☺

[@KatnippStudios]

hehe oh my goodness, I really hope you like them! Let me know what you think heheh ⭐🌸🌷

[@brianamassicotte5505]

Try putting the backing cards in front of the pins in the box so when an order comes you can grab a card and pin together. That might help speed things up

[@KatnippStudios]

Yessss thats what we do it makes things alot faster heheh ⭐🌸🌷

[@deadlynightshade_art]

Always so excited for a new studio volg!! Love being productive and working on art while watching these videos!

[@diamondbaybie]

I agree, I HATEEEEE the sound of the tape it's so cringe. (Especially waking up to it or when I'm trying to sleep and my bf does it ughhhh)

[@madameberry]

Mike off to the side like "yis." what an enabler XD Also have you seen the new Shopify Markets PRO thing? From what I understand it's supposed to handle VAT and such for you like Etsy does, but perhaps I'm understanding incorrectly.

[@Vagi00]

All of them are too cute ... I want it, but money ... patience. It's hard... Chopsticks are cute too!

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh ⭐🌸🌷 Im happy you like everything! The chopsticks where from the Ghibli store in japan! I love them! ⭐🌸🌷

You are mad with adding Pudding into the shop launch so last minute lol Also the autumn cafe desk mat arrived. It's really lovely! Just a bit sad that my mouse and keyboard have to cover a good chunk of it :')

[@KatnippStudios]

right :') It worked out luckily in the end though heheh ⭐🌸🌷

[@monkandmarple]

Congratulations on your launch!!! Everything is so amazingly cute and I want it all :) I'm curious why you don't push your launch a couple of days to give yourself a bit more time to have everything exactly how you want?

[@divineart5107]

Your art is really cute! Love them all❤

[@marklola12]

Got the HTVRONT tumbler press today...dont waste your money Not enough pressure at the ends so even if you tape very well 9/10 its blurred and ghosted. I mostly do 11oz mugs.....again useless. You can barely slide in a mug without yhe sub paper and parchment but with it on it takes ages to try slide the mug in. You have to wiggle and tilt side to side to try get even the end and maybe 2 to 3 cm if the mug in before you can barely slide it all the way and by the time you do it...the heat has messed up oarts of the mug and print due to wiggling the mug getting it in. Also when it closes on the mugs it pushes the handle all the wat to the edge of the machine and so you have a gap at the other side of the handle and the press either does not get the edge of the image or it has hardly any pressure. Tops were also still blurred too. Also a ripple testure look to parts of the print where you try slide it in and it pulls. So disappointed i fell for HTVRONTs lies again as i did with their normal autopress. Its getting returned and im getting another standard press as i have zero issues with them...these just look good

[@juliehodges3894]

Hi Catherine, can you please give me the details of the corner rounder that you are using it seems effortless to use. Many thanks ❤ xxx 3:19

I love your content!! I have to ask, where you get your tables from? My workshop is in dire need of something that does not dip/sag in the middle. Please help :)

[@OmfgHiii]

You could pre package some stock and hang them up like they do in stores. I know it might take up too much space tho

[@KatnippStudios]

I actually would love to have a little mini shop display in the studio! ⭐🌸🌷

[@muse3223]

Have you considered hiring a video editor for Q4? I'm amazed at how much you get done but the stress isn't sustainable.

[@KatnippStudios]

I would love too, but they are totally out of my price rrange right now :') ⭐🌸🌷

[@deadsetondreams1988]

For pre-doing the pins, do you just pre-do them and then store them or do you pre-do them and put them in the plastic as well? Also, how many of each type of pin do you normally order, depending on the sizes of the pins? I'm trying to wrap my brain around how many pins those containers hold XD =^_^=

[@sarahlou144]

Hi everyone your all doing a great job love watching you guys ive watched your pretty much from the start and you really inspire me. And my daughter is now 7 and she also has watched you along side me now shes started drawing her own little characters and wanted to make her own sticker sheets so we went back and watched one of your old kisscut vlogs we have followed every step ,we made a backing sheet which i think we did right and also we made characters with outlines and on a transparent background but for some reason the cricut only cuts around the backing sheet and not the characters, do you have any advice on what id be doing wrong as ive tried different ways and printed and cut about 25 sheets of unusable stickers lol 🥴😵‍💫

[@KatnippStudios]

Oh goshh have you attached the print and cut all togther?! Im not sure what would be happening there! 🥺💗 I hope you manage to figure it out, also this puts such a smile on my face that your daughter now draws cute characters oh my goodness, this makes me so so so happy 🥺💗⭐🌸🌷YOU DA BEST

I wish I had a desk mat to fit my veri desk

[@Maria1000G]

Where did you buy your shelves?

[@imchristinac]

Literally just random feedback that you don’t have to listen to lol but I was wondering why you don’t do videos on this channel a few days before a new collection releases to tell people the day and time it’s coming out/talk through the collection. Just I found your company through KZbin and as these vlogs run behind, if there is an audience over here that don’t follow you elsewhere they might not know a collection is dropping. I know it’s probably written somewhere but I’m just curious if there’s a reason why ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

Ohhh this is such a great Idea, I didn't think anyone would want to see that! Maybe I could do like a Product Tour video/roundup of what I've been working on that quarter! ⭐🌸🌷 Thank you so much for this!
