I absolutely love how much care you put into your videos and making sure every type of learner is covered!
So cute! I love this idea 😊 thanks for sharing how to make it!
Such a helpful tutorial, thank you for sharing!!!
FANTASTIC video! your instructions were very clear and I can't wait to try this. I have been struggling for a way to display my greeting cards and this will be perfect!
❤
Nice tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
Is your ink expensive? My ink doesn’t last long 😢
This was amazing, it answered a lot of questions that I had. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience and being so sincere 🤍
These are fantastic! You're so kind to share these!!! ❤❤❤
I started using the paper you use for your own notepads, and I agree that they are very nice to write on, but I found that if I scratch the design or rub the design, the ink comes off and does a little smear on the paper. It does this after it prints and cools down(it’s been a few days since it’s been printed). Does this happen with your notepads? I use a canon pixma ix6820 Also thank you for your tutorials. They are the most helpful!
Hi! I haven't had any issues like you've described with the paper, how strange... it sounds like there's some problem with the ink on the paper, but I don't know why. I use this paper/ink combo for everything (notepads, stationery, art print inserts, etc.) and they all hold up really well. I'm sorry you're having this problem! :( but thank you so much for watching!
@@luckysprout Thank you so much for responding! Your tutorials are the best I’ve seen. It is clear, to the point, and informative. I’ll try to figure out what is happening with my prints. Thank you for all that you do!
What kind of printer do you have? Mine won’t accept watercolor paper because it’s too thick. I’ve tried so manny times and it just won’t take anything thicker than a medium cardstock sheet. I was bummed too to find that out the hard way especially when I just upgraded my printer to a more expensive one that was a refillable ink tank one. I the then tried to take it to Procreate and then into Design Space to have my Cricut draw it out for me directly onto the watercolor paper in pencil, but then I ran into problems with converting the files over from procreate into Design Space and would mess up my designs one way or another. It’s been frustrating to say the least and IDK what I’m doing wrong there. Also, what kind of paper do you use? You mentioned your costs are about $5/kit but I’m wondering what paper you use to be able to use more than one piece of paper per kit since I know watercolor paper can be expensive especially if you use 100% cotton paper.
Beautifully done.
Rebecca, I recently found your channel through one of your informative videos and I really appreciate the care you put into them. They are packed with useful tips, and I enjoy seeing your process. You speak confidently and genuinely, without the exaggerated claims that are so common in "how I make a living" videos. But discovering your personal side has been a pleasure as well! So I would say keep doing both types of videos as long as you are comfortable with it. Your community-building efforts are worth it, in my opinion. Isabelle
You're such a delightful presenter, I enjoyed listening to you. Thank you for the advice
Best!

It’s a great tutorial! I honestly never thought of making my own displays! I’m in the very beginning stages on wanting to work towards vender events so thank you so much for making this video!
please i need canva pro can you help to get one for free dear
I love this, I'm originally from Italy and I recognise a lot of the cute illustrations you made, well done ❣
Hello my dear our gift card printing services will be very affordable to you as 1 dollar is 270 rupees. And 1 pound is 350 rupees. Shipping rates are extra. Minimum quantity 1000 per design card
Thank you for showing your card production work flow. I really like that mermaid artwork as well as the baking card near the end. I do see some differences to how I make my cards in my own greeting card video. It is good to see different approaches to the making of greeting cards. Out of curiosity, are 5 x 7 inch greeting cards quite common in Canada? Here in South Australia, they're usually 4 x 6 inches so that is the size that I make mine.
How does one cost a notepad because it obviously depends on how much ink or how much colour you have on your design, but what is the general rule how do you work out how much a ink cartridge gives you
Are inkjet printers different to ecotank in terms of quality of prints?
I sat down and looked at this for example did a 5.5 by 8.5 tear off notpad of 30 pages and I came up with $27 to price my item and I am at a loss as that seems way out there for a tennessan so any advice or suggestions would be amazing (I usually do 1-2 hours just design in begining as I am new to creating them, and min wage is 7.25 but i upped to $8 since I been drawing since birth and all my designs will be drawn)... my materials is $6.02 roughly due to me using epson inkjet just for start until I can get better it does 312 pages per refil. It came out to like $27 with following the steps... But I have no idea where a comprable item would be? Send help! lol - Kimi
How do you put bar codes on them for wholesale use?
I was sleeping when one of your videos was running. I heard some things about cards. But slept through the rest. I love what i did hear.
Thank you for sharing that’s very kind 😊 .I’m preparing it~. Learn a lot from your video ! I currently only have five images now but im so excited
Hi can you please put the catalog pdf link in the description box, I would love to see the layout. p.s. your designs are sooooo beautiful just like you. 🤍
I like your video, I do. But for me there is far too much talking and some explanations were unclear and did not make sense. I'm really trying to follow what you are saying and doing. My display did not come out right the first time but I'm going to try again. 💛
How do you add the lines for writing? Please ❤
Rebecca, I am just seeing your video. I print greeting cards also. I searched for a long time for quality paper that would make my cards look store bought. Red River paper is FANTASTIC! They ship international. You can buy in bulk from them. Once I discovered them, that is my go-to for paper. They sell different sizes and the 1-sided gloss along with the matte (which isn't bad either). Also, laser paper is different from ink jet paper. Some paper you can use on both, but it must specify that on the package , otherwise, you will get the bleed. When you are look I ng for supplies for your cards, if you type in your search bar "greeting card" paper or "greeting card" sleeves, it will pop up more suppliers for you. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. Just made one & it is super.
You just saved me so much money! I made one, threw it down my stairs, and it held up! lol It was the best way my daughter could think of to see how sturdy it would be. We are going to use these for now on for all of our booths. Thank you so much!
Omg, I'm so glad it held up! Happy I could help! :D
can you do a tutorial on notebooks? with the spines?
I don't have the equipment (binding machine) for doing that but if I ever acquire it, for sure!
Awesome - thank you :) Where are you from? Canada - East coast - PEI? I'm in Ontario - glad to have found you :)
Hi, great video. Question's, Can you do a video about getting started, say doing craft shows. Do you need a gst. number? How you set up for customers to pay? Must appreciated. Tfs. Sherry from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.
Hi! Do you just make the canvas size the exact size you’ll need to print?
Yes, I make it the same size as the finished product needs to be!
Would these be thick enough for business cards?
It would definitely be thick enough, but I'm not sure the texture would be ideal for business cards!
Wonderful Rebecca! I made 2 and they turned out great!! Thanks for the great instructions and demo :)
Yay I'm so happy it worked for you! Thanks for watching :)
I love all your content, and appreciate how much you put into your tutorials 😊. I watched something recently that said when you’re starting out you need to be the “sidekick” (the viewer get to be the main character) and offer more content that offers the viewer something (you-based content), and you sprinkle in your you-ness 😂and shift into a more “main character” (me-based content) where your viewers just watch everything because they feel more like your friend/fan (I guess). I don’t know if that makes any sense (it’s hard writing a short summary 😂) It all seems to be a balancing act. Just keep posting 🤗
Can we talk about the fact that you inserted subtitles to the video? UA-cam’s subtitles aren’t always correct and I often have to watch videos w/o audio so thank you so much❤️
Thank you! I am trying to update all my videos to have accurate subtitles!
Thank so much. Very helpful tutorial. Done subscribed
Great video, thanks so much for showing the canva tutorial! ❤
I really appreciate you sharing this information. I send about 600 birthday cards each year for my business, and I like to print them myself because I personalize them with merge fields. I just ordered the paper. Fingers crossed!
I hope the paper works for you! Definitely try out the highest quality/slowest print settings your printer has - that seems to get the best results :)
love this theme!!! I'm sure your mom did too!! I have a question... if you have to go back in to add bleed... how would you do that? (once the design is completed at the chosen size)
If you were going to add in bleed, you could either use the Bleed feature in Canva (I don't usually use this so not 100% sure how it sets things up) or export your design as a PNG then create a new Canva design with the bleed added and import that original image to it. I hope that's helpful!
@@luckysprout thank you so much! Yes it is very helpful... can't wait to see what new designs you come out with!
I'm so glad I found your video! I was just about to buy acrylic display pieces that weren't quite right! This could be made in wood quite easily, as we have the tools! But before I hit my husband with it, I will definitely put one of the foam core ones together! I need to display cards and fabric traveler's journals , plus other things Thanks so much!😂
I'm so glad it was helpful! I think it would be a great piece made of wood, I would love to see it if you ever go that route in the future :)
@luckysprout Thanks so much! Right now I have him drilling holes in glass blocks...I will be working heavily on my display pieces all through September! Our 9 day event begins September 26th. It is our first major event!
hard to believe, that in USA stores sell greeting cars for 6 and more dollars, in Europe they are 2 euro +-
It's wild! Here in Canada I've seen commercially made cards selling for easily $10+
