[@carolynj6144]

So happy that bumblebutt did so well! You really deserve it ❤

[@daisymichele2666]

I love the sofa with the throw blanket and cushions, it looks soft cosy.

[@KatnippStudios]

Hehehe ❤❤❤❤ it did pull together nicely although it’s a little stinky still 😂😅

[@EmmaLouLoves]

Always make the things you feel in your heart promote love. Dig down into the characters origin and why you are moved to make them, create images of them, ask yourself if the origin is actually based out of love. Keep to this method and all you create will never lead people towards things that are routed in darkness. Amen. Love you Kat, keep shining a light to people through you love, your art and your soul. x

[@KatnippStudios]

Omggggg ❤❤❤🥹 thank you so so so much! This is so kind 🥹 I hope you love bumblebutt hehehe it’s so cool that he’s having a little adventure in a camper van in Colorado this has made me so happy hehe ❤❤❤

[@SamanthaStoddartX94X]

That sofa would genuinely be pretty in pink!

[@KatnippStudios]

I think sooo!!! Maybe it can be a project hehe ❤ although it still smells like mouldy attic 😂

[@SamanthaStoddartX94X]

@@KatnippStudios I sadly know the smell well 😅 get some comfort mixed with water and soap that baby up 😂💜

[@allworldframing]

That recolor trick was very cool! I've never used that before.

[@KatnippStudios]

Hehehe honestly I use this ALL the time 😂❤ it’s so cool isn’t it! I’m glad you got something from it One way to use it is have different layers say if your doing clothes, and you can change it so it all blends nicely when you find the right colour to go with the overall illustration! This is how I try get my colours cohesive or make things pop! ❤

[@lucys.c.5307]

omg great timing! Love your upload days :)

[@benipray]

The way you just saved my life with the pen tool + text trick. Wow 😂 I always used to write straight and then use the transform and warp tool!!!! 😭

[@KatnippStudios]

😂😂❤ happy to help! That tool is something I use allll the time it’s really cool actually for doing the wave text!! Especially around objects 😮❤ hehe happy you learnt something!

[@Inkymakes]

Congratulations on the popularity of Bumblebutt, not at all surprised, he's so precious! Just made my order, he will go straight on my bag for a daily dose of cuteness. Super excited for the halloween launch. Love Whitby and all things cute and spooky.

[@rachelpepper5149]

The new mouse mat is amazing, and very cute!

[@misswomble]

I have a similar sofa in my studio. I painted mine teal with Montana 94 spraypaint. It's incredible how well the leather it's holding up to any cracks ect, it's as good as any leather paint I've ever used.

[@francesscapiedra9355]

Love the vlogs! 🌺

[@tara7103]

I love my little Bumblebutt! ❤

[@catmothcrow]

Congrats on the success of Bumblebutt! 💖🐝

[@Angelchakra]

I think the reason why bumblebutt is so popular is because (at least in our house!) every time we see a bumblebee we call it Bumblebutt! 😂 and he’s so cute and fuzzy giving off cozy vibes that you can’t help but smile when you see him ❤ Kate xx

[@KatnippStudios]

Oh wow 😂❤❤❤❤ this actually makes me so so so happy hehe ❤ thank you so much! 😂 I’m so happy you like himmmm 🐝 this is actually my mission and he even makes me laugh every time I look at him and sparks some joy hehe ❤

[@sharonsjs]

Such a great vlog. You really did transform that sofa. I'm looking forward to your next packing video 😊 and I love love love my bumblebutt keychain. Gorgeous 😍

[@BjorkL]

That's awesome how well Bumblebutt is selling!! I'm glad I got one while he was in stock! 😊 9:34

[@francesscapiedra9355]

Love these Vlogs!❤

[@michellem4118]

A 3d cute jumping spider in your style would be so cute to set on your desk

[@BjorkL]

We have a futon with really old and outdated cover on it, and I just threw a duvet cover over the mattress because I couldn't be bothered to sew a new one. 5:10

[@diane_1904]

I love this! 💕💕💕

[@sonyaga.2065]

tambien son mis favoritos , october , novemer an december 💯

[@monicabolden4055]

that mouse mat is SUPER cute!!!! if you wouldn't mind me asking but.....would you please make a full tutorial on how you design your mouse mats?

[@KatnippStudios]

I basically just illustrate it on Procreate and then the rest is exactly what I do right here ❤ 🎀🌷 hehe ❤ I do set my canvas up to be at least 300 dpi and have the canvas size to be the exact size of the actual mousemat! ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

the vibe of that sofa is _pure british grandparents_ 😂 hahaha I think one of mine had it in cream and the other in brown

[@mystvoid9552]

Congrats on getting a collaboration with Adobe! I do not like their subscription - model so I have gone to Affinity, but for a business like yours it makes sense with Adobe.

[@cherie.23]

would've loved the roses in the gaming mousemat to be red! That would've fit the vampire theme more ~

[@jomo7388]

you can also get something called "twist pins" that you twist in hidden parts to fit the cover in place

[@by_alice_entropie]

Oh, you are eating with chop sticks as well?! TO me it feels much more natural then the western way with fork and knife. And now I really want to take a little boat tour at the abbey. Well, let's see when I can make it to UK again. And the Spooky Scene came out great. Would love to see these characters, including the spider, as gift labels or mini markers for planners.

[@jenniferkirrane2276]

Get some leather paint and paint it pink!! 😍

[@Lisasplace]

you can't do this to me Catherine. I already have 3 mousemat and this one looks so cool

[@BjorkL]

I bought one and cannot wait to get my hands on him!!! 😅 0:48

[@TheMstupers]

Use the katnipp neonsign above the sofa

[@myDemoji]

I love this! Very inspiring and motivational. I've been wanting to get plush keychains of my character for months now but I'm not getting enough sales to afford it yet 😩 but hopefully this year! 💖

[@Creative_Blues]

Well I think that all you characters would look extremely cute as plushy keychains

[@DebbyLong777]

I wish your vlogs were longer. 😊

[@dianegriffen2756]

Large storage boxes could go on storage shelves - make use of them while you have them in that office space x

[@therummagingferret]

Congrats on bumblebutt! Tell everyone I said hi. Love the new mouse mat. Not the biggest fan of marshy, I still like him though just not my fave. He is looking cute though. I love bathalamew. XD can I put in a request for a small plushy of bathalamew for next year? May want to do a poll on who would want him though. I maybe the minority on that one.

[@Un_Elysian]

The green and white flower cushions makes the couch remind me of that tamagotchi Violetchi 😂

[@cristinabento1749]

I did a drawing of the rooms of the house I moved into and measured the furniture and created shapes with those measures and moved them around to find the best placement. Maybe that would help you figure out where to put your stuff as well?

[@shadow.101.]

The vlogs are not long enough. I can spend 1 hour watching one!

[@fuzzydragons]

yay for free stuff!" always nice when you get free tuff thats actually not falling apart and yay! saves money too😀😀

[@olbird7647]

Nowt like a free sofa even if it is a bit whiffy 😂

[@Creative_Blues]

Please do vampire machi as a plush keychain

[@TheMstupers]

Gingie & spice Keychain plussies? Realy, when, when, when?

[@DebbyLong777]

I just ordered sweet Bumble Butt. I love 🐝 stuff. My name means “The Bee”. Also my name is in the Bible. I would encourage you in your Bee design. I love fun honeycomb etc. Bees are truly our friend. Blessings.

[@ruwgirl]

Bumblebutt is just so adorable 🥰 i love that size because you can take him everywhere 🤩

[@KatnippStudios]

Hehehe right 😂❤ I have him on multiple bags lol 😂❤ so I can take him in mini adventures

[@sonyaga.2065]

🥞☕🌺

[@peanutsmama9789]

Perhaps instead of a mural, you can make individual characters dancing/frolicking around the room. 😊

[@YesYes-p7y]

do you ship to asia?

[@Christina24life]

How far in advance did you record this vlog?

[@PaperTigress]

❤❤❤

[@jomo7388]

I will be over in the uk next October so if you ned a pink soft cover made just ask

[@jynstardust]

Girl are you eating brats and PEAS with chopsticks? 😅 But HOW is what I want to know 😂

[@kathyfoshay7111]

💕😃💚🫶🏼🩵🙂🌸☀️

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Catherine, I sent you a message on Patreon regarding one of your products. Just wanted to make sure you saw it. 😊

[@carcar435867]

Get your coin sis but screw adobe

[@teddybearmei8713]

i understand you guys needing sponsors to run the channel but adobe in itself is a company that is not for artists, considering it scraped a lot of creators works for their ai,evene after people like loisch sorry im not sure how to spell their name, told them to remove their works and they added them right back into it. I really love your channel katnipp and i know you mean well for the community but i just wanted to let you know as there are ongoing lawsuits right now too involving them and some other companies who have done these same stuff

[@Softlywool]

i second this

[@MadHattersAccomplice]

This. and she’s previously promoted using generative ai as well. Anything for the sponsorship money I guess…

[@kabocha_sora]

​@@MadHattersAccompliceis she using Ai ? 😢

[@KatnippStudios]

I have been using adobe photoshop since I was a child 🥲 it would be disingenuous for me to say this is something I don’t use when I actively use this daily for designs it’s one of the foundational corner stones for running my business honestly and has been for a very long time When I did my research on adobe and AI they actually seem like they are trying to make good progress with only using royalty free works to train it, but I will say AI needs more laws and regulations around it regarding artists and I feel like we are slowly getting there but it’s all so new it’s a mess at the moment 😅, they say they don’t use customers files or art to train their ai according to their statements, and I am still a user actively of photoshop and really love their product and have for a while A few people have mentioned to me about certain software like adobe using AI to help the user experience, can you guys let people know of another software as well you recommend, because at this point I think most brands are trying to incorporate this in someway, and I’ve yet to find a tool for designers that doesn’t? Anyway I seen that some people are angry with me and seem to think I use AI in my works, well I don’t 😅 so please don’t just read random comments and make a quick judgement I mentioned when I first discovered ai art that it was cool for concept art work or inspiration for a mood or vision board ONLY , however since then I have stopped using it in my work flow, I hope this helps clarify and clear things up ❤ Again I’m happy with photoshop and have enjoyed using their tools and services for a very long time and I stick by that ❤ Thank you guys for watching! YOU DA BEST ❤

[@KatnippStudios]

@@kabocha_soranope 😅❤ I am not sure where this has come from 😂 I did mention I think once or twice last year that when I first discovered it I thought it was so cool for mood and vision boarding (like concept art) however I have stopped using this in my work flow now and went back to my traditional mood boarding method ❤ I’ve never used it in my actual work ❤

[@Lisasplace]

too bad photoshop didn't offer a discount. they've gotten way too expensive

[@rachelpepper5149]

Sadly, photoshop is way out of reach for many people, the cost is too prohibitive.
