First pop up October 1st. Watching your videos have pushed me to get my business going. Thank you!

[@CreatewithLei]

Hey Monica! Super cute designs ❤ For the vinyl that won’t release, just get a smaller roll of the “Strong Grip” transfer tape from Cricut (it’s currently on Clearance I think). It’s super sticky and should pull up that white vinyl. Then just save the transfer tape backing paper and you can reuse it. 😉

[@miragruber3283]

I have my first ever pop-up this month and I have been BINGING your videos, thank you for making them!!

[@ThabiOutdoorLifestyle]

Haha same here. I'm binging on all her videos as I will be having my first one end of September. All the best

[@pratibhamootoo6402]

Hi Monica good morning to you,,,so happy I came across you on utube I have been busy preparing for my craft market I look forward to markets even more since I came across your videos now i want to do scrunchies and I saw a Japanese knot bag thank you for re inspiring me love you and you videos

[@sophanmaisopeap5537]

I think you should make short videos making your products and especially those water bottles,I saw people got so much views and their business get more attention doing them, just my idea love 🥰🥰

My career is styling product for photography. Nike, REI, New Era, bedding, housewares, etc. I asked my viewers if they wanted any advice on that but - crickets😂. Small channel.

I’ve had tons of trouble with circuit vinyl too. I bought the circuit transfer tape, it worked way better. But then when I was making my glasses, the vinyl wouldn’t stick to the glass, but it stuck to the transfer tape. 🤷‍♀️

[@MyBohoChicStyle]

Hi Monica! I love all the Fall scents you chose for your candles! Looking forward to the pop up video and I hope it was a great show for you this past weekend! Tina 🧡🌻🎃

[@ChantelleArts]

those candle fragrances are so unique! I might just have to get a coffee one! 😍😍

[@Brokebutnotdefeated]

Hi Monica, I found that the teckwrap transfer tape worked for the cricut vinyl better. I encountered the same problem as you.

[@laurieszentirmai4511]

I use cricut vinyl but I also use cricut transfer tape. I sometimes have issues sticking to the transfer tape then actually peeling the transfer tape off. Sadly I don't have any great solutions

[@runicedee]

Hello, I have a Permanent vinyl from HTvront and I tried to use StarCraft medium tack transfer tape with it and It Did Not Work. Then I used something I already had KTM Mask I bought from Heat Transfer Warehouse it is usually used for transferring vinyl to products using heat but it worked fine for transferring the permanent vinyl from HTvront to acrylic sheets. Good Luck hope this helps. P.S. Love Your Videos.

[@starbrown1219]

I had the same problem with Cricut vinyl. Do you burnish the back of the design as well? That helps. Is your white vinyl older than a year? I had some old permanent vinyl and it wouldn’t stick to the transfer tape. I used my weeding tool to help it off the backing.

[@marithecreative]

Where do you find your blank coffee glasses from? I’d love to order some and I’m having a hard time choosing.

[@victoriadonaghey8636]

I SO wanna get a pumpkin chai and brown sugar 🥰

[@LaTonya0586]

Hi … I have used packing tape before

[@sandrafrancis8577]

Do you finish your glasses with anything to protect the vinyl?

[@jenniferlewis9864]

💜💙

[@Kickingdesignwithkay]

The circuit vinyl is horrible. I have had so many problems. I would recommend siser or oracle. They are amazing

[@Cakey-s6h]

do you mind sharing the wick you use for the 5oz tins

[@monicarazak]

Here's the link!: bit.ly/3sL7XAf I get the .04 crackling boaster wick with .75 width and 3" height works. But normally I actually get the 5" height, use those for my 12oz Aura jars from Makesy, then when I cut off the excess off the top, that small piece ends up being the perfect height for my 5oz jars:)

[@CAKEI-CALI]

how don you print labels on circuit

[@bravezoom]

how to make the your own Merch ?
