I have placed my order for more than a month and nothing received I can’t wait.

[@miaramck6746]

Personally, I wait til the last minute and grab any card I can find. Maybe you could sell printable greeting cards?

[@CreatewithLei]

Ooh yes! I’m in the U.S. and would love printables, especially with some of the crazy shipping times lately.

[@KatnippStudios]

@@CreatewithLei Ohhh that would be a good idea actually thank you so so much I've never thought of this before!

[@mrs.quills7061]

Yeah I do the same 😂😅

[@whitneykopsie9772]

Love the idea

[@miaramck6746]

@@KatnippStudios I'm glad my laziness can be put to some good use 😆

[@SashaMarie]

I just wanted to take a moment and say how much I look forward to your videos! I run a small Etsy shop here in the States and these vlogs motivate and inspire me so much to continue to create new and exciting projects for my own shop (and youtube channel lol)! Thank you for your transparency, and for the time and effort it takes to not only run your business, but to share this inside look with us so consistently. Wishing you all the best this year!

[@JamesDivine]

You eyebrows look sooooooo good! That shape and shade really suits you!

[@ExpatNatt]

I will forever comment on your videos just to tell you his beautiful you are 😍😍 GLOWING 😍

[@yeppennydoodles]

YAY thank you for sharing your sticker organization! It’s been on my mind recently and it can be so overwhelming in a smol art studio without a system. Love how even the label/tags are so adorably happy like you 🥰

[@martid]

Greeting cards are fun to decorate with stickers (envelope too). Perhaps offering a greeting card bundle with stickers would help move the stock i.e. 3 cards and a matching sheet of stickers to decorate them with.

[@apmwpny]

@Margaret Destree - Oh my gosh Margaret… This is such a great idea! I would purchase these greeting card and sticker kits for my little grandnieces (ages 6 and 8) to write a sentence (or 2) sentiment(s) and give these decorated cards to a relative, teacher or friend. I’m going to start doing this myself with purchased cards and stickers… Thanks for the suggestion!

[@rachelhamilton9290]

GIRRRRRRRL YOUR EYEBROWS ARE GORGEOUS.

[@ritalapa2771]

Catherine, you look so amazingly gorgeous oh my god😍 Last time I saw your videos was long time ago! What a change!!!! Congratulations you and Dean

[@hecksplorer]

Girl your eyebrows are looking SO GOOD!

You are incredibly inspirational and talented, and beautiful. I’m sure you hear these things often but I must add to it!!!! 😍😍😍

[@ChantelleArts]

The new desk looks lovely, that wood style seems to be coming back in fashion 😊

CEOOOOOO Your my business inspiration KZbinr. Your the boss!!!

Can you do a tutorial , step by step how make your backing slips for the enamel pins and where can we look to get enamel pins done for anyone looking to start a stationery business?

[@karendavis2380]

You are my sticker hero!😊

[@thetaffetafox]

You've just reminded me, I need to pop over to your shop and buy myself something nice just so I can get one of your new thank you cards for my wall collection at my studio Thanks for always being so inspiring as a small business owner xx

[@KatnippStudios]

oh my goodness thank you so so much 😭 this means the absolute world 😭 I hope you like them! They are the 2023 space theme at the moment! But they will be changing for march!

[@WendyGreenIllustrations]

I just bought the plant organizer stickers to use for my shop stuff... just doing the boring stuff so that I can launch soon!!! but your vlogs and videos have really been a huge source of inspiration to me and I love seeing the bts and im grateful that you show not just the fun stuff about running a small biz. you are super amazing!!!!

[@fuzzydragons]

heart mouse pads!🥰 *looks at wallet* cries 😛

[@kyliesketches2271]

I feel like the Lunar and sprinkle pins would make really cute earring sets!

[@Lisasplace]

those backing cards are so stinking cute

[@sarahsworld-2240]

Everything is super cute don’t doubt your artwork lov look how far you’ve come today 🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖 believe n yourself

[@elisamilan]

Your designs for your greeting cards are definitely not rubbish! They are very cute! I do have to be honest and say that I normally just pop into Walmart or Target and grab a card. Every now and again I go to a local gallery but the big box stores are definitely the first ones that I turn to.

[@haileywasheree]

It’s just so clean so organized 😍 I love this

[@rui_mas]

i usually buy greeting cards from shops!

[@tammieh647]

Your products are so cute I love the backing cards for the enamel pins. Just makes them pop out from the card. You are truly talented. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@pcourtney1000]

Your new desk and chair look amazing, yay!!! What a beautiful collab!! Loved this vlog, thanks for sharing and hope you have a good day :)

[@heather5552]

Watching your videos make my day better. I love you and your style! Thank you for sharing and I would love to be able to get digital stickers!!!

[@kerenvalentin7082]

I loved the pin holder cards you designed, there so cute. I buy my cards in bunches so I dont always have to go out everytime I need one. You guys really look great!!! Have a wonderful rest of your week, and a great weekend.

@@KatnippStudios 💖 also looking forward to your Disney palette inspired designs on your vlogs! I’m always so inspired by the cute pastel merch at Disney 🥹

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Catherine 🥰 always love watching you vlogs ☺️ The new desk looks great and your chair looks super comfy. Those mouse mats are super cute 😍 xx

[@cherylclark9957]

Love all the new sticker sheets and pins! 😍😍😍

* spins in chair * I'm a C-E-OOOOO! so cute haha everything is looking good!

[@ClayDisarray]

I love the new desk! I recently got a similar chair with a forward tilt action and I wouldn't be without it now. 💛

[@tinkerandteal]

you inspired me to find my own baskets not exactly like these ones but I found a really great deal on amazon for like 12 smallish baskets and I am now organizing my stickers the same way!! Thank you for all your inspiration!!

[@mochimona]

I got my order it was so fast! And all the stuff is so cute. And Mike did the package so well, I was so happy unwrapping all of the stuff. And the mug! I am a huge fan :D Thanks for the studio vlogs, I really like to see how you work and it is so nice to get something from your shop and see how much love you all put in your work. I will order again

[@k-poplove7643]

i do thank you cards more than greeting cards, or like blank ones that aren't card type specific and just a cute look or design. but i always buy online in like a packs never just singles unless i'm at a store. maybe do a set of the different holidays and a few more general ones.

[@elsbee38]

Your vlogs are so cozy! Where do you get your lip gloss from?? I love that colour!! Xx

[@kristymabe8477]

Love the new desk and chair!

[@kslade3320]

The guillotine corner cutter!!!! ❤ Is that an Amazon sourced product? xo

[@lucornish]

Love watching your studio blogs Kathrine! I’ve just done my first studio vlog and your videos have been a huge inspiration for me to do that ❤

[@overly.chromatic]

I buy greeting cards all the time, and I love your greeting card designs. I haven't restocked on yours specifically because the square is more expensive to mail, and because I got a set of holiday ones that had a glossier paper that all of my pens were smudgey on :(

[@Lisasplace]

oooh i'd love that desk. I can't work ergonomical with anything i buy since i'm smaller than average it's given me carpal tunnel

[@davidtremayne4963]

Hi Catherine, just recently found your videos, really enjoy them. Do you mind if I ask what sticker paper you use as I'm struggling to find a decent one that I'm happy with? I wish you all the best for yourself and your business for the future.

[@lindsayarmstrong7130]

Since I don’t buy many greeting cards only for birthdays and maybe Christmas I just buy them from the store. Dollarama is always a win for me since they are usually only $1.

[@MevvSG]

i don't buy greeting cards usually because they are too expensive. You buy one for like 5e, then shipping, and then you have to pay more shipping to send it to the person you send it to. But I love buying cards for christmas in bulk. Buying in bulk is the only way I justify the price.

[@BexEtcArt]

I always buy cards on Etsy x

[@mrssirens]

You have such a cute setup! I know what you mean by trouble shipping, from canada the cost can be pretty absurd.

[@CloverWoodss]

I have never used greeting cards, not sure how to I guess? But I’ve always loved some designs and would just keep as a print. I prefer smaller prints anyways so yeeee❤

[@bluemarine9335]

It’s always the ones you think are going to sell well that don’t, and the ones you think won’t sell that sell out. 😩😂

[@VanGoghs_LeftEar]

This was so fun to watch (that flexspot desk, love!). I did want to say, re: greeting cards...I tend to go to like TJ Maxx here in the US, and I bulk buy fancy cards for the year. That way, I have them on hand whenever I need them, and don't tend to buy them off the cuff. I will say, your designs are SOOOOOO cute, so its definitely not a design issue

[@KatnippStudios]

heheh aww thank you so much! i have to be honest I do the same, I collect cards at conventions or market stalls or little small businesses beca use I like to feel the cards texture and paper irl :') hahahah, that being said it would be great to have cards for wholesale or if/when i do conventions/markets again! Thank you for sharing your advice!

[@KeyushTheStuntDog]

You're so organised! Can I ask what courier you're currently using for international?

[@KatnippStudios]

I think Dean mentioned that we are back with Royal Mail now! I think they have resumed as normal, I think we need a backup though in case it happens again, I also think they are going on strike again!

[@shire_shenanigans]

I love buying greeting cards, but I can't justify paying shipping to get it here, and then again to send it out to the final recipient. >< But if I'm ordering other things, I'll pick them up online.

[@leeraxd]

Oh yeah and with the cards thing -- I think someone else mentioned printable cards might be a good solution. I agree with everyone else in that cards are often a spontaneous or procrastinated purchase lol and because of shipping, more people are reluctant to order online. I know for sure, there are times when I wanted one of your cards but I just knew it wouldn't ship from England to the states in time because I procrastinated on it lol. But printable cards would be a great idea and it would be affordable too so you'd probably get a lot more sales.

[@emhprmex9259]

Love your work. Can I ask you where do you order the boxes for the packages, It is online or is a local shop?

[@LeaunaStone]

Hi - love your content! Which printer do you use to print stickers?

[@OJPuppies]

Not sure if you realised or anyone else has said but link for the printer is duplicated iPad link xx

[@mrs.quills7061]

I personally buy cards in store bc I need it right away unless it’s like a bundle of Christmas cards or something I know in advance. I sell some greeting cards too and noticed they don’t do well (unless it’s a local sale). I think you could offer more evergreen or bundled cards because seasonal can be hard to sell sometimes at least in my experience. I also agree about the square photos it seems most websites do that and even though Etsy says 4:3 it looks horrible on the app with that ratio!

[@ChelseaMLarkin]

I buy mine in advance and on online. Depending on what for. I like something more personable and funny. I don't think it's the design. I just think it's personal preference for everyone and with so many people saving money where they can, it's often the first thing to go! X

[@KatnippStudios]

I agree! Thank you so so much for sharing this! It's super helpful to get others perspective! YOU DA BEST

[@techiegirl2927]

Do you have a link for the press that cuts the corners of the sheets in bulk?

[@KatharineMiele]

Where is the monitor/ computer stand riser thing from?

[@LizzSmoak]

Great video, thank you! FYI, the link for your printer isn't correct

[@bulbapixel]

I always love looking at how you make your items, especially the corner puncher for some reason haha, thank you for the video! (*^^*)♡

[@AttackonGames]

I honestly just go to the dollar store where you can get 2 for a dollar like the week of when I need it 😅 your cards are so cute though I bet they would definitely do well as a digital card!

[@KatnippStudios]

Ohhh I didn't think about a Digital card hehe

[@nl1641]

Hello, I would like to know on which paper your stickers are printed? Regular sticker paper or matte vinyl?

[@misalisa256]

Omg Dean is so skinny I wasn't even recognizing him!!!

[@valeriewalburn4784]

Probably a dumb question but how do you choose your SKU numbers? I would like to add them to my items :)

[@MarlyLynn]

Hi there 😊 I love buying greeting cards. The beautiful ones I’ve been interested in your shop I’ve noticed that they say the same thing on the outside and inside. Personally, I think I’d rather it be blank inside or just have something different written on the inside. That’s not to say they aren’t beautiful to begin with. I love your designs.

[@Lisasplace]

I buy A6 greeting cards that also function as prints, so the regtangular ones. I will say if its really close to a deadline and you have a bunch of collections comming up. I'd say skip them now so you can also get a head with the next collection. I presonally don't care for new year or valentine so I wouldn't buy either. and valantines is cuting it very close now.

[@Baby-Ghoul444]

you are so beautiful I am so jealous, I wish I had this kind of style. I never know what clothes to wear, where to get them how to do pretty makeup or cute hair also so satisfying, I could sit there all day and cut the edges off those

[@sabrinaharris]

Hey Kat! I love how organized you are!!! :) I've always called them "SKU's" but pronounce it "skew" Am I the only one that's been saying it wrong? 😭🙈

[@tjduprey]

I've gotten to the age where I'm considering buying cards once a year in bulk. But then I'd also have to update my address book! Not gonna lie, thanks to Facebook and email, I've lost track of some friends and relatives addresses. Especially since covid and people relocating thanks to work from home.

[@KatnippStudios]

Yesss I totally agree, I collect cards too on my travels and markets ect and store them! I dont often buy cards myself online! Thank you so much for sharing! YOU DA BEST

[@SilverFoxForestsDesigns]

As A tiny business that sells cards its extremely hard to compete with the over-saturated mass produced cheap as chips market what I have found is I can sell if I simply cover the cost of making so I use a local chap this is a big help as locals want to buy and support local. Also quality and image are big but also relatability to the image. Its do able just takes time dont give it. I started by giving a pack of cards to raffles and small buinsesses to sell you get my name out to locals it might be worth trying. Also have a chat with your local post office do they have a gift shop that as a local you could sell in?

[@Karenm1969]

So you don’t print your own stickers in house ?? I’m referring to the ones you were rounding corners on.

[@loisannfrench]

Girl you've lost so much weight you look so different! I know it's not your channel content but if you've got any tips on whats working for you I'd love to know!

[@hellobirdiecreative]

My greeting cards sell ok but the amount Ive sold this year compared to the last 3 has dropped significantly 😢

[@poopashoes]

Why do you not incorporate cutting the rounded edges of sticker sheets in your cutting machine, instead of using a separate cutting tool? That’s so time consuming, surely?!

[@cristinabento1749]

I prefer to get a card at a shop for like £1 and spend the money on a gift.

[@marklola12]

I think most people just buy carda from the shop still because they are so cheap like card factory, some people obviously will buy dearer ones but i think because nearly everyone just throws them away its a tad waste of money. Think thats why you sell them but slow burners....they look fantastic so its not the design

[@YouLoveMariah]

Um.. where did Katnipp go?!! Girl you lost so much weight!! Wow!!!! When did this happen, sorry if I missed something it’s been awhile

[@Christina_Lane]

S-K-Us...is that just an American thing to call them "skews"?

[@stephaniedragonfly5619]

No more subtitles ? :'(

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I have subtitles. (Auto-generated.) Sometimes it takes a while for subtitles to show up.

[@KatnippStudios]

Sorry! They are auto generated, so they might take a while, actually i would like to get them professionally transcribed eventually but its so pricey :') heheh hopefully it shows up soon for you!

[@julieta.343]

## Hi @katnipp, I love your content and I wish you would start creating digital products. I know you're in the process of doing so, as you mentioned before, but I wanted to suggest It could be an online guide or course about how to start a business. I know you like to help a lot of people and I wish you could do something that would help us and also benefit you.
