SHOP LAUNCH VLOG 📦 Launching my products as a small business owner on Shopify & Etsy!

[@keepsakesilks]

Little tip for your pin backing cards… create a tiny white circle, smaller than pin size, on the actual design… this way you get the same placement every time. PS. I love your blogs and have followed you for many years now and you still inspire me. Love your journey Catherine 🌸💝

[@amberslagle9015]

Bumble butt with the Santa hat would make an adorable plushie (yes I am a plushie addict). The mouse mats are adorable!

Hello Catherine, thank you for my Gingie and Spice Christmas pins. I wore them to my work Christmas party yesterday. Of course, everyone loved them and asked me for your website. My Chrissie present to myself was the Gingie and Spice Chrissie gaming mat but the best thing was they were packaged by you, dear Catherine. Your name sticker goes into my diary. Merry Christmas to you and Dean from Sydney Oz.

[@KatnippStudios]

Oh my goodness, this makes me so so happy heheh, thank you so much! Im so happy i packaged them too hehe this makes me very happy! YOU DA BEST 😍😭🌸

[@andreajlmoore]

Such cute Christmas characters…love them! Your whip cream hack looked great!

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh It's a great hack amirite hehe, I use it every year 🌷✨📦

I know you like the collapsible part of your cardboard storage bins, but like you said they lose their rigidity over time. Have you considered Akro bins? They have some super cool setups that you can do with them. They can come with a peg board setup so that you can change around the entire look/functionality as you need it. There's also tip out shelves where you can pull them like drawers but they won't fall off shelves because of the top lip they have. They come with divider slots so that you can put more than one SKU per bin and still keep them divided, reducing the shelf space/boxes used which is always a big help in a smaller storage area. The bins don't fold down flat, but they will nestle together for a relatively smaller footprint when being stored away until needed. Long-term they are a much better solution for storage because they don't lose their rigidity and are plastic so they will resist shelf wear much longer than cardboard. And, when they have finished their life cycle they're traditionally easier to recycle because the cardboard ones will end up with so much plastic tape holding them together that's it's almost impossible to recycle them and they end up in the landfill rather than being something able to have another life.

[@KatnippStudios]

I used to have Akro Bins actually, but I didn;t like them Im not sure why, I like that I can cut these to size for the shelves (Height wise) but your right I think I might have to look back into this and take a look at different storage solutions! Do you happen to know where you can get them in the uK? Thank you so much for sharing 🌷

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

OMG! OMG! I’m so excited! I’ve been saving a little bit of coffee just in case you posted and now I’m sooooo glad I did. 😂 YAY!!!

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh oh my goodness, I hope you enjoy your coffee and time with me heheh thank you so much for watching 🌷

[@angiriberdy5094]

I'm wondering if you've ever looked into making your designs into diamond paintings. They'd make fun placemats for a holiday table setting. And the lines you use would translate really well into a canvas meant for the dot pattern of diamond painting. It'd be interesting to have your design as a finished piece, but also be able to have my own hand in the making process.

[@fayenewman3738]

Hi Catherine, love your vlogs they’re always really cheerful and make me smile. Can you tell me what lights you use for photography please? I make sea glass jewellery using Seaham sea glass and it’s sooooo hard to get decent lighting. It’s not really the best weather to be taking photos outside and as you know, it’s a bit chilly outside here 😂

[@artbyinky]

Get a little light box or make one! I live in New England and we have the exact same problem. It adds so much light to your products!

[@nancye7520]

Um… were you actually using spray cleaner foam in the mug to look like whipped cream??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Okay, I just was watching the intro- I see halfway through you’re using Gillette shave cream! Even more fun. LMAO. I used to play with my Grampa’s shave cream every time he visited. I wonder if he ever noticed his can was nearly empty when he went home? ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh welcome back welcome back 🌷 theres been alot of changes around here ✨

[@TheStainedCanvasArt]

Great vlog and thanks for the photography tips! Never would have thought of shave cream to replace whipped cream.

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh right?! It's a fun hack heheh 🌷

[@Cataclysmika]

Congratulations on your launch! I love your vlogs so much, they always inspire me so much to one day have my own art store ❤🥰

[@moijeee]

Your studio is a dream. And makes me want to clean up mine 😅

[@MISSLEONAJB]

[@vickygonzales1341]

Congrats on the launch!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Everything came out so cute as always! I must say tho, the shaving cream Hot chocolate looked sooooo yummy! 🤤 Mmmm gotta run out and get me one of those😝

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh right?! It always looks delcicous but then your brain gets boggled because it smells so strong like shaving foam hahah 🤣

[@hanalobnik4399]

Would love to know where your flower pillow that you have on your chair is from 😊

[@haloson5852]

Another fabulous vlog! I was so happy when the Christmas launch happened. My folks got the Christmas pin set for me as a present and I got the stickers and the sticker gift labels. I absolutely adore the sticker labels, they have been a boon to me this Christmas and people whom I've given gifts to have commented on them, so I get to tell them about your business and that makes me happy! 😊

[@KatnippStudios]

oh my goodness thank you so so much eheh 😍 I am so so so happy you like them all! heheh we have used the labels for our presents too and they look so stinking cute heheh 🌷 YOU DA BEST thank you so much!

[@Lunax868]

20:12 a pin backing remover would be ideal but in the meantime, I have seen other people use this method where they use a fork! It seems to work well and gets the job done and protects your nails 😊❤

[@KatnippStudios]

Oh wow, Actually I didn't think of using a fork! Thank you so much for sharing this heheh YOU DA BEST 🌷✨

[@lccreativearts]

Been looking forward for this video!
