Eeeek I can't believe this is happening 🙈 What do you guys think to the new katnipp studio?! Also anyone a OG from the early studio days, it feels like that again when we had two studios! 🤣✨

[@b.knotty]

I’m catching up on videos and was like omgggg and told my bf lol! Even he remembers the OG studio 😅💛

[@ArtfulShelley]

You said "snowflakes" for the mural. Snowflake would be a cute character name. ;)

[@lunabytea]

Congratulations 🎉 this is very exciting!

[@discerninglight1998]

I think it make perfect sense to use the adjacent office for photography, editing, and creative content and designs! I saw putting a door between the spaces too. The natural light area makes sense for the photography and your desk where you stated putting a couch. I would face the desk towards the room so you're not facing the wall. Anyway, congrats!

[@TwinFlameTreasures]

So so so proud of you Catherine! You’re doing it! There’s a saying, “If it doesn’t scare you, then it’s probably not worth doing!”❤

[@jessicajordan680]

Hey Kat, would you do a little update on how Ronnie is working for you? Like, how often you have to change the blades and the ink and what paper works best for what project he's printing and the cost break down? I'm sure as a brand ambassador you already had something like this in mind but I've been poking at the idea of investing in a (MUCH) smaller Roland machine for my future business ventures. I feel they are more versatile than Cricuts and probably would last longer. Congrats on the new studio! A good move for you and a fresh space to decorate

[@staceydelcolvin]

Not me literally finishing the last vlog, then clicking on my subscription feed to see this SHINY NEW ONE! Thank you for virtually keeping me company at work while I wrap a vehicle. 😁♥️

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh h my gosh good luck with your wrapping hehe

[@by_alice_entropie]

Absoloutly feeling the same. When you buy from a small business and it is wrapped nicely you feel special as a costumer and it feels like a real gift.

[@briaweea02]

When I saw your last video, I literally went on a rant to my boyfriend explaining your history of studios to sum up why I was excited (I’ve watched since about your 14th studio vlog and I’ve been here ever since). So excited for you!

[@irenep5859]

I did the same with my sister 😂 she knows everything about Katnipp now lol

[@mariesullivan3484]

HIII I just wanted to say u have been a huge inspiration to me opening my small business on Etsy as a 13 year old I love watching your videos!

[@LittleKikuyu]

That’s amazing! It’s great that your parents are signing off on a shop for you! What are you selling? 😍

[@TenTenJ]

I’m a package designer. Obviously, the product has to be good, but in my analysis of brands, as I design, I have found that packaging can actually psychologically make someone take your product more seriously and repeat purchase. Every touch point communicates. It’s a big part of what made Apple overcome major price competition. You can always use ecological packaging and show which company it comes from, which would help others switch to them too and encourage sustainability.

[@deadsetondreams1988]

You could always do Bumblebutt for each season on the different walls to make each area unique for filming. Also, it's your Katnipp Cafe 2.0!! I'm so excited for you. Lastly, I can't wait to try to get as many blue hydrangea products as I possibly can!!

[@illustratingchristy]

I can't wait to see how you decorate it!!! I hope I get my own studio one day...

[@missEllenSaturnino]

So so happy to see the seasons of Katnipp thank you for sharing! The new office might look too big now, but I'm sure it will be super helpful for content creation or staging photography backdrops and filming especially if you wanted to get into apparel as well. This is exciting for me to watch you grow and see the potential this can bring to your work & creative process. I hope and pray this works well for you & your team! One day i'll get an office of my own too. You got this guys!

[@Sabre014]

Ahh! So excited for the new studio! Just an idea but what about a full wall mural? Like the desktop mats but one specifically for the wall!

[@Justin_W]

I LOVE the extra care that goes into the packaging and the personalized service, knowing who packed my order and all that!!!! It's what makes small businesses special! Please don't lose it!

[@angelagardener1234]

Eek! Love to see growth & positive progress Catherine. I forgot to add my comment yesterday. I got quite busy which I love 😊❤️ Congratulations!!🎉 Keep moving forward towards your dreams and before long you'll have the entire floor just my daughter said you would do. I love when she predicts things 😍 she gets that from me when you can see a pattern or see certain people or businesses doing very well. 🎉👏👏👏👏 Keep shining and let nothing hold you back the sky isn't the limit just you and your ability to dream & imagine. It's what I have always done. Enjoy! 🎉

[@katiecallaghan4293]

Seeing the new enamel pins makes me think little bumblebutt stud earrings would be the cutest!!!!

[@VictorianStudio]

Yay! The Katnipp Cafe is back! 😉💗

[@nadyartillustration]

Oehhh this is sooo exciting! I love that you have a separate space to have some peace and quiet for the creative process, it's so nice to be able to hear yourself think while drawing and brainstorming 😍💕

[@nepa_cat_wrangler]

Spending money is scary at times, but you are investing in yourself, so it's worth it!

[@lupitaarmz8077]

Hahahaha I love to watch the new studiooooos😂😂💗🥹 So happy for you kat!!

[@ChantelleArts]

it's going to be great to see you create the new studio space! I'm currently creating my first art studio so I'm excited for the inspiration 🥰

[@LittleKikuyu]

I love room/studio makeovers soo much 😅💜

[@AlihassanAlihassanrao]

New studio Beautiful❤ Your video amazing

[@missemmajackson8199]

Hi im such a big fan of katnipp i love your products, especially your packaging. I love your studio, i remeber the first studio vlogs and you use to work with your sister. Xx

[@aylasaurus]

okay but honestly the sticker sheets in the giant size kind of slap

[@deadsetondreams1988]

Perfect for laptops, bigger water bottles, etc.! Would love those too lol

[@briannaperez9027]

I absolutely love your packaging! Just got my order of planner stickers and it felt like christmas morning opening it! ❤❤❤

[@AnggiSahamCantik]

Congratz for the new studio space 🎉 I love to watch your journey ❤

[@tammieh647]

Yes, I’m OG. I do remember your studios. It’s been fun being a part of your journey and see how far you come. 🥰

[@tinkerandteal]

I am legit soooo excited for you on this!! I am so living through you with everything.... I love seeing new things happen for you! I cannot wait to see what you do with the space!!!

[@eypreel]

You can put a sofa, kinda like a hanging out place so when you take a break, you can sit ther and take a rest or eat a snack. And yes, mural on the wall pleaaase! Like a scenery that goes from one season to another with bumblebutt flying across all the seasons!

[@annavannoni]

Congratulations, Catherine! You and the Katnipp team have game on! I saw your latest camper van video recently, and the animals you video taped are so cute that you need to turn them into characters, please!

[@PlanTheGrindSarahWheeler]

I am all in for that hydrangea line! I love them and your design. Also, I started watching you and Angela at the same time back in 2019! So happy to see the support of her.💕

[@CallMeErie]

Congratulations on your expansion!

[@WaddleArt]

I definitely have to say to keep enjoying the packaging of products and giving them the flare and love that you want! I feel that gives it that much more of a special feeling to the already adorableness that they are wrapped around! Just do what you feel is wonderful and lovely and it will all follow! The new range of bumblebutt has me incredibly giddy! Plus the wee cottage/house of his on the weekly planner and the large desk mats (I totes need both the regular and oversized desk mats!) are almost identical to the house my Mom and I used to live in back in the 2010's! It really almost had me in tears remembering her and that house, so I'm super into the new design for sure. And the new studio... I can only imagine what'll end up transpiring! I almost want to envision the building of a new Katnipp cafe 2.0 that you'll be able to enjoy decorating and doing vlogs and reveals within! I'm sure that whatever you end up doing, it'll be magical and super inviting and get you even more excited to go to the studio/office each day!

[@msellenandrea]

I love love love the blue you've used for this collection!

[@brittanylamb7437]

I would love to see a character development video & how they have evolved & why!

[@fuzzydragons]

yay! for more space 😀 (big space too, bigger than our bedroom lol)

[@Beanjast]

Honestly absolutely feral to get my hands on this hydrangea collection.

[@lisabatchelor5659]

I'm so looking forward to the new range coming out . Think that the new studio will be a game changer for you, having the extra space will help you I'm sure & will also be good for cozy vibes with a sofa etc . Once the space has been Katnipped it will feel like yours 💖 I love your new packaging and if it helps save time as well all the better, its all part of the experience when I receive an order from you is opening the packaging & it feeling like Christmas when you actually see the products ! 🌸

[@chezkwetu]

So exciting ❤ All the very best to you and your business. YOU ARE SO INSPIRING 😊🙌✨️💃🤣

[@divinechrysalis]

Kawaii!! Everything is so adorable 🥰 Congrats on the new studio as well 👏🎉 Your journey is so inspiring keep it up 👍

[@bethlondonart]

Congratulations on the new space! I think over the next months you will find good ways to utilize your space. You could also think about sharing the space and rent with a quiet person. I love watching the decorating and organizing process and can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@CandiWare]

I love seeing your growth from your old first studio I've been watching since you had the two offices in your old space its really cool to see where you have come from and where you are now. Congrats on the space, I can see what you mean with it being big but I can't wait to see what you do with the space!

[@atcreateartworks]

I think both bubblebutts and bonbun are so cute 🥰 Funny how we never know which artwork will go over well with most people. I find it’s usually never my own favorite pieces. 😆 Congrats on the new studio 👏

[@overly.chromatic]

OMG This striped shirt is ADORABLE! loving all your new fashion in 2024 :)

[@noonghazi]

Love seeing you grow ❤ You’re such an inspiration ❤ BTW, I’d love to see you create an app icon bundle for iPhone/android.. could be inspired by one of the characters or simpler redesigned logos that just work better with the wallpapers you offer

[@karolsartoasis4815]

The studio look awesome ❤

[@jmendez215]

I’ve been with u for the longest! I love seeing your progress. I can’t wait to see what you do with that wall behind the “desk area”

[@momoz2848]

Ive learned recently that the packaging bags, if theyre paper (or close to it) you can print on them with a normal inkjet!! So you can put your logo or something on the bags, but i know your already use stickers that have your logo so 🤠🤠

[@lindsayturcaloro5661]

I love the new studio! I can’t wait to see how you decorate it!! Congratulations!!! 🩷🎀🌸

[@abigailh4109]

I Love your Packaging! It is such a special treat! I even save the tissue paper. ❤

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Eeeeek super excited to see what you do with the space ☺️ xxx

[@Diyamond_elv]

Aww! So happy for you! You are such an inspiration and vibe. I love starting my work day with your videos! Starts my day right 😌🥰

[@debkelly1099]

So exciting! 🎉

[@Liisaa2010]

Ahh!! super excited for the new studio addition! Can't wait wait to see what you do with it!

[@SarahSmith-ze3fp]

How exciting!!! Can’t wait to see the transformation of your new space. ❤

[@marialeeramirez8727]

Soooo happy for your happy room💓

[@thisnthat42]

I’m looking forward to getting one of the redesigned Bumblebutts. 😍 One thing you could use that extra space for is workshops if that’s something that you have considered. Whether that’s practical workshops or talks.

[@sassypackratstudios361]

So excited to see the new studio set up! Love the new pins too!❤

[@plantlifelex]

So excited for your new studio! You’re such an inspiration ❤❤

[@mandirants]

Your channel is so inspiring to me! 😍 I'm getting ready to open my own shop and watching you grow your business with so much success gives me an intense feeling of hope and joy! Congratulations! 🎉

[@Christina24life]

You,Dean, Mike and Mike’s wife should live together and vlog it. It would be gold material

[@PolkaDotPearle]

You need some “Printed by Ronnie” stickers to go on his stuff 😂

[@berolinastrassmann]

🙋 OG sub here, remember the tiny studio where the door opened straight next to the dsi. There was barely any space to walk around there 😂. How long ago was that??! Congratulations on the new studio.

[@coriineo]

19:55 😅 love it… yes filming those vlogs must be funny since you had to reenact your reaction 😂. Great job! It’d be funny to have the behind the scene of this

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

Love the vlog Just a thingy to say Big shout out to all the entire team esp Dean for the outstanding customer service and the wonderful quality products. I might might might be worth giving peeps the option to opt out of your thank you cards otherwise with lots of individual orders they kinda mount up and i feel bad having lot of them. I dont want to throw them either,,,

[@staceyros]

get yourself a fridge,table and make a cool coffee/lunch bar in the office..

[@blueprntd]

Congrats on the new studio! If you don’t know what to do with your extra space, you can reintroduce your esthetic coffee corner 😘☕️

[@roseoctober393]

Congratulations!

[@woolleycodwanderers4833]

Hello Catherine, just a quick one I have been on your shop to see if I can find anything Peggy related going by the illustration you included on your cosy camping chronicles video, am I just looking in the wrong place 😂👍

[@theknittingrev]

I remember when baby Bumblebutt was born! How grown he is! 😝

[@shelfj]

The new addition will be so great for you! I have the plain bubble butt to do list pad and I love it! I just need a pen w/ bumblebutt on top and it would be perfect! Question if you don't mind. Will you be getting the plush bumblebutt again? My son asked for one for Christmas and keep watching. I don't think I missed it on the site.

[@Craft00980]

Love your videos. Thank you for beeing you. You are my inspiration ❤❤❤❤❤you da best. You make my day❤

[@magicwendy210]

great idea for another studio for quieter times so you can focus on creations, how about building a mini house/cafe hang out like you had in the very early days then you can paint it all pink inside and loads of lights plus it would be great for reels and videos, l am sure l am not the only one who thinks this would be amazing 😁😁

[@barbpatrick-broadbent6972]

I think it would be cool if you did a mural of the Katnipp cottage so you can have your cottage back in a way.

[@emilyrcollard]

I actually love pretty packaging! Makes unboxing such a fun process! I am a graphic designer so maybe I am bias tho ahaha - maybe you could have a tick box to offer ‘minimal packaging’ as an option at checkout?

[@Sabre014]

Wow I’ve never been this early! Settling in with a smoothie to watch!

[@KatnippStudios]

ahhh! Welcome welcome heheh enjoy your smoothie!

[@stephaniemccusker800]

OG follower here! Can't wait to see the studio expand. May I ask where you ordered those pink bags from? Looking to update my packaging and love that idea!

[@LauraGomez-bl2so]

So exciting! You need to install a big catflap in the wall so you can shoot back and forth.

[@thevioletcreator]

In the new studio, may be create a lounge area. You all work a lot, it will be nice to have a place to relax and eat (like a cafeteria in an office)

[@teluladoodles]

Would love to know where you found the pink paper bags for your packaging! I’ve been looking for some for my own small business and am finding it so incredibly difficult to find cute pink ones like yours! they look super cute! 💗

[@tinymouse.travel]

😂😂 You did the classic @walkwithmetim entry!

[@kathyrippyfleming7277]

Bravo to you!

[@moonbeamfaerie]

About a week before you showed the gaming mat I was on your site searching for XL mats. Hope to see them in the future!

[@samanthaparkinson1512]

You could make earrings with the mini pin design

[@linsaraillustration]

Congrats

[@Kikiandconz]

I love those pink paper bags! Would you share where they are from? Xx

[@andreajlmoore]

Oh no…don’t get rid of the attention to the packaging…it’s part of the art and part of the reason I buy direct from the artist.

[@LittleKikuyu]

Yeah ordering from a small business can be like a little Christmas!! It’s one of the reasons I love to support smaller sellers 🥰

[@lisha6370]

She’ll see ,, she already look like a whole new person, why who knows maybe the comments were getting to her she was fine just the way she was now she like everyone else 😢

[@sallymonck5863]

Hi, I’m interested in designing some pins and getting them made to sell online. I’m just wondering if you could share how you go about researching, approaching and selecting the manufacturers you end up using? Thank you 💜

[@rhiviews5587]

Please don’t get rid of the packaging, it’s the little details that make you you and make us squeal with delight when we receive goods 🤗💕

[@rosenicolas228]

When will the hydrangea pin collection be available in the US web site ? I’ve been looking forward to them 💕💕

[@bloowabbit6414]

Congrats on studio 2, can't wait to see it being set up Katnipp style. Is the seagull invited...?

[@49lucky]

I started 😅😅😅when I saw u watching Angela I've watched her from her first baby way back and u way back. I'm so happy I know famous people ❤❤❤❤

[@fayeberrie9088]

I would make a sticker that says "packaged by" on the bottom half of the sticker and stick it over the top of the bag rather than fold over the bag on the orders that have a5 stickers in them.

[@marklola12]

Hi there can you maybe tell me what pin company makes your pins, ive tried a few but have not been so great

[@jacquelinemortimore8176]

Hi the pink bags are lovely. Where did you get them from?

[@StaciesBudget2509]

You could put in a partition and split the room in two and have a proper lunch/relax area rather than eating at your desks and risking getting food on your designs x

[@AttackonGames]

We need to get Mike to get you started doing streaming maybe doing co-working streams where you do the pomadoro method and work while streaming and when you take your short break you chat with your viewers its really nice you should check it out and its extra money for you too

[@blueprntd]

Do you still have your Katnipp café? Could you bring back the facade?

[@sonyaga.2065]

🌺☕🥞

[@Lisasplace]

only one thing needs dto fill the space: a big ol Christmas tree ehehe
