Keep Me Company Whilst Packing Orders Part 1

[@farrahwalker6222]

Love your prize winning flowers.

[@chuckykat4217]

Your voice is very calming. I love these videos and your products are beautiful. 🙂

[@mrsmurphy1836]

Indeed!

[@candicesmith7156]

You can use cricut to make those boxes. You would have to get the bigger cutting mat because the standard size in 12 inch × 12 inch. And it does foiling too.

[@newpathtreasures]

I stumbled upon your channel by accident and could not be happier I did. I'm a candle maker, I make wickless candles actually. You are a joy to watch and I love listening to you talk as much as I love listening to the cellophane wrap(ASMR thing). I watch you create beautiful pieces or pack, doesn't matter what you're doing it helps me relax. Thank you for that, even though you're just doing what you do. 😊🌹

[@sylviagray4206]

You produce such beautiful products and packaging. Love watching your videos! Stay safe stay well

[@annswarmfuzzies]

This was just like coming over to a friend’s house for a cuppa and working on my knitting while you did your work. Love it! 🥰

[@gannonkevin9805]

[@nickybenn3320]

Your voice reminds me of my dear nan who has just recently passed i could listen to you all day, thank you for all your videos so many useful hints and tips and your packaging is gorgeous 💜💜

[@primabrennan1598]

Just love you Ms. Karen. Thank you so much for sharing resources and techniques to help us novices simplify our handcrafted soaping efforts. I'm tuned in often. Love & light Dear soul, from the states.

[@wingsvale7688]

Your dahlia's are beautiful. Made me long for the days I spent in Northumberland so much. The time effort and energy you put into all parts of your craft are awe inspiring.

[@saraemmil5378]

try shrink wrap!!!!

[@marilynmulkey6095]

The cricut can cut them as long as the template is no bigger than 12 X 12 inches.

[@tanyabonnett7787]

I do love your packing videos. Your packaging is so beautiful.

[@elynaangelic4353]

😂😂😂im glad im not the only one who buys certain things, then doesn’t want to use them up. Love your packaging videos. You really make your products look so temptingly gorgeous ! 🥀💓🥂🧚‍♀️.

[@cherylnorise57]

Well you answered my question on labels

[@bobbieg3220]

Your packaging is so pretty just like your soaps.

[@beverlyphillips8572]

This was such a colorful and quite beautiful program to watch...mesmerizing to watch you so deftly package and label with such skill and expertise....I know you've been at it a long, long time. Your color coordination is spot-on, I wish it all were coming to me. I'm making lists of things I HOPE to get of your marvelous creations. Have a wonderful evening!

[@mermaidrocksoapcompany6540]

Love your beautiful flowers! 💐 Dahlias? My fave! I have some too! Pink. Love your videos Karen. Hope you are well.😊❤

[@cheryl739]

Absolutely Gorgeous Dahlias or is it Zinnias!!! I have both and a couple are very similar. We all use the plastic wrap to help keep our soaps fresh when shipping. Just recently went to biodegradable after using up a super large order of the regular. It is a shame the expense of it, but sorry to say it all isn't cheap, so it has to be passed along to the customer. Some of it is absorbed, but that also is costly. I just recently went to packing my soaps in one beautiful box. The size of the box, depending on amounts of soaps ordered, is put in one nice box and this packed into a cardboard one for shipping. All different products go into separate boxes, of course. All pkg., including labels and ink for them too, have to be added in. I always hope that folks understand all that. I love watching your packaging videos, as well. Enjoyed this one very much and can't wait for the next one. Blessings 💕👍💕👍💕

[@mememebeth]

I loved this chatty video, it's nice to listen to while I get my work done.

[@pamelagrey949]

You can make boxes with a cricut machine

[@jeancarter4163]

I so enjoy you and your videos they make me happy

[@KissyTheKreator]

Is it weird that I highly enjoy watching you wrap products? 😅 I find it so relaxing and your packaging is always stunning! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@chic1788]

Your packaging is lovely Karen! Love watching your videos and find them to be very inspirational.

[@cherylnorise57]

Hello, your packages are really nice. How do you make your labels? Do you have a video on making labels?

[@mememebeth]

If you search youtube for "Edens secret labels" you'll find a few of her videos on it.

[@cherylnorise57]

Bethany Varner thank you I will check it out

[@monamarie875]

Beautiful packing boxes I just love watching ur videos ❤

[@alyssaaasen4174]

Your voice is so calming, I absolutely adore your accent and your packaging is so gorgeous!

[@melindaduncan3073]

Your labels and boxes are so nice.

[@angelamathlin4617]

I love watching these type of videos and when you make things to

[@sonicamy4518]

Karen, the reason I adore your packing videos so much is because you have the most gorgeous packaging materials I've ever seen!!! No one packs a box the way you do. I'm always impressed by what you come up with. I know your customers feel like they are recieving a gift, even though they've ordered it themselves. You are very thoughtful to give your customers the royal treatment! PS: I love your flower gardens. I have huge beds to mostly Iris and Daylilies. I have many colors of each. Are those Dahlias blooming?

[@randomvideos6783]

I love your videos

[@traceyaplin2596]

Daughter got a Cricut machine last week. Absolutely brilliant bit of kit

[@melindaduncan3073]

I just watched a video where a young entrepreneur had just received her custom made boxes in with her logo on the top, info on the inside of the box and all of social media info on the back. She even said that she could have put info on the top, inside of the lid but had forgot and she was able to purchase 50 at a time. She said they make boxes of all sizes. One of her vendors has thicker quality and one is less expensive. Her KZbin is CROWNHERVIXEN and her vendors for the boxes are boxyup.com. They makes the sturdy boxes. The other is papermart.com and those are least expensive. She was so sweet to share her information and I believe she said she could choose any colors she wanted. You could always put your logos and your catch phrase on there like when you greet us in your videos. That would be so adorable! Then you could just print out a label that has the name and the ingredients. I am so proud of these young ladies becoming entrepreneurs at an early age and paving their future. It’s so inspiring! 💜💜💜

[@soapsforlove4168]

The flowers are lovely, your packaging is wonderful and I can't stand those pieces you have to pull off the bags so they can still because they stick to everything. Have a fantastic week Karen.

[@lindasabatini5288]

Lovely packaging the soaps look great in the colour cordorated boxes 😊😎

[@carmenacollazo1740]

HI SWEETIE I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU COULD MAKE A VIDEO MAKING YOUR LABLES I ENJOY THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU GAVE US THANK

[@lindarollocks527]

I absolutely love your labels. I get so excited watching your videos. You give me inspiration 😍

[@adrianwashington9928]

the cameo 4 is a good cutting machine

[@JenSpice]

I love your packaging Karen. Just lovely. 💜Jen

[@eloisemiller979]

Hi for a cutting machine you could get a brother scan n cut my mum had one to make a card with and i think you can make boxes with it but it was really good love your videos btw ❤️

[@magsnair9855]

Thank you for your time, Karen...really pretty!

[@marciapattison4049]

I love how you think out loud , makes me smile. U are very talented. Love your soap. Looks amazing. Do u post to Australia ?

[@p3rfektioniste]

I love watching all of your videos, your voice is lovely, you're a very kind and wonderful lady. One day soon I will be able to purchase from your shop! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! ♡

[@SquirrelRun]

Hi Karen! I love your packing videos, absolutely adore them. Just so happens I was needing a die cutting machine and we decided on the Silhouette Cameo 4. It's just like a Cricut, but it was more economical! It does everything the high end Cricut Maker does but $100 cheaper! I just made some iron-on transfers for my shirt for a show I'm doing (I think you might call them "markets") and I'm using it to make boxes and dust covers for my candles and making cards for Gift boxes. I love this thing!

[@suzywest.35]

Thanks for sharing your packaging process! I love your quality of everything. ps, I love listening to your accent as well. ♥

[@okayyy_kisha]

Would love to see a video on how you clean your silicone wax melt moulds. ❤️

[@melindaduncan3073]

You could use the cricut maker. It can cut through wood and leather.

[@Lornadoone72]

I have the Cricut machine and there are several boxes on the cricut design. Different blade will cut different thicknesses.

[@LadyThoopie]

I used to have a cricut, very easy to use and will cut your card, you tell the machine what you are cutting. And can get thicker blades to even cut leather on them :) it is time consuming tho, you would be better off getting a couple of mats so that you can load up the card on a few and rotate whilst doing other things :)

[@nancysimmang2687]

I love your videos, thanks!

[@lisaowen2930]

Karen, could you use the deeper ones with some shredded crinkle paper? I was looking for some today on eBay and you can get loads of colours. You definitely need 300gsm card. You need a Cricut Maker cutting machine! What do you use to stick the edge of the box when you assemble it? This is what you need: Stix2 Double Sided Ultra Clear Very High Tack Adhesive Tape, 6mm x 15m www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003BIUYSG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WZatFbFC4SZYR once the tape is on one edge, run a pritt stick along the surface of the tape to give you some wiggle room when you attach the edges as the tape is super strong. Have you ever tried glassine bags for your soap?

[@lisalauze1324]

Can you show us how your organize your soap area? You seem so organized.

[@handcraftedbyhelen1963]

Haha I'm like you Karen, I see boxes on Aliexpress that look beautiful, then when they arrive, they are either smaller, or not so great quality, a bit disappointing or I love them and dont want to use them as they are too pretty!

[@lesterpossum4088]

They have come up with lots and lots of products that are eco friendly research

[@avrilobrien5680]

would you be able to use tissue paper to support your products in transit so you dont have to cut the boxes to size the tissue paper would look fab too

[@evangelineboyles377]

Karen wholesale supplies plus in the US is the best about giving information shout trace ricing color change vanilla information and tons of reviews from actual customers.

[@EdensSecret1]

Evangeline Boyles Thank you Evangeline

[@handeedandeescrapper]

I have a Cricut but I would suggest the Cricut Maker. It can cut through wood! Do some research but that is what I plan to get when I start selling my soap and bath bombs because you can make whatever size box you want. And there are 12x24 inch sizes card stock you can use. There are so many cutters out there now but I use the Cricut and the Silhouette Cameo. These are my favorite machines. You can even make stickers! And much more.

[@galaxia4709]

I really enjoyed this, thanks, and enjoy your evening, Karen! Did your flowers win a prize? Congrats!

[@nelsoninteriorstylists3239]

hi there. i love love your channel and found you a few months ago. I have a cri cut and i make all my labels with it and its amazing and such good value if you use it to make things but i use photoshop in conjunction with it. it does cut well. there are several settings to use such as paper, vinyl, iron on, light card, cardstock, fabric and poster board

[@bjharrington1550]

Hi there! I have a cricut and can’t for the life of me figure out how to use it. Can you recommend any videos to show me how to use it to make boxes? Thank you.

[@lucybavone1173]

Love those cello bags where do you purchase those if you don’t mind me asking? Love your soap and mostly I love you! You’re so darn sweet!

[@Lornadoone72]

There are KZbin videos on making gift boxes.

[@margaritaespinoza1745]

Me encanta sus videos

[@melindaduncan3073]

Have you looked for a vendor on Ali Baba to make your boxes with your labels printed on them? I’ve seen some people order nice boxes at a decent price that are custom made.

[@randomvideos6783]

Just ordered, I’m in chessington

[@handeedandeescrapper]

I was thinking about using vellum. Have you tried vellum to wrap soap? If so, how did the two react together?

[@sarahrogerson3840]

Hi Karen,what size bags do you buy for your soaps xx

[@helenrobison2042]

Where do you get your wax melt labels from xxx

[@animeboy1992]

What kinda printer do you use?

[@Brightwatereq]

I know this question has nothing to do with this video, but I figure since it is the most recent there’s a greater chance it will get answered! I’m making hot cocoa soaps and I cannot for the life of me find marshmallow molds! The best I could find it sugar cubs. I remember watching a video you made YEARS ago and thought I’d ask if you possibly know or remember where I can get this type of mold? Thank you very much! These soaps are for donation and I don’t want any set backs 😊

[@EdensSecret1]

Hi I remember the video well. I rolled out soap soap dough into a long sausage, then I cut it into marshmallow shapes, here is that video kzbin.info/www/bejne/apS7hYN4arGhm5I

[@Brightwatereq]

EdensSecret1 thank you!! I enjoy watching your videos.

[@TanglewoodSoapCompany]

[@toneandersen2944]

Nice Karen! Love the packaging but do you really need to make it so much? Its expensive but beautiful 😊 I bet they would love to see the products.

[@karolmoreland834]

Please take a photo of your poppies this year for us please

[@randomvideos6783]

Don’t you shrink wrap your products? Packaging is lovely but I’d prefer shrink wrapped
