For 10 minutes.. I thought you had the most fluffy pillow ever.,..until it started moving :P
Lol, me too until you pointed it out. Had to take a second look,lol.
OMG me too. For like 3 mins of the video i was trying to figure out whether it was a pillow or a dog lol
yeah...me too!
until it moved, lol.
Lol
I've been misspelling stationery in my Etsy tags this whole time! Thanks for the reminder!
I like the first idea best. A business where I get paid, but don't really have to move. Thanks for the tip.
hahaha YES!
Hilarious!
Ohh my word! It's a real dog!! 😍 Thought it was just a furry pillow the whole time til he moves 😂😂 very inspiring and educational video tho. Thanks for sharing 😊
haha! he's real!! :) thanks for watching!
Holly Casto hey, is there a stationery hq type business in the UK?
Thanks so much for this advice! I only wish I had found it sooner - I've spent weeks researching questions you just answered in 15 minutes! :) I've just finished designing my first product line, and now feel more confident in some of my decisions about launching, while re-thinking others based on your tips. Much appreciated!
this video is AMAZING! i am a stationery junkie and it's super interesting to hear you talk about your process. totally will point other paper goods makers your direction. this is a HUGE asset.
Hey Olivia! I switch back and forth between the two of you guys for my Etsy help! Just came from your video!
love the straight to the point information. It is wonderful that you are willing to share information.
Holly! Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm thrilled to have found your channel and look forward to learning from it. Starting a stationery business is a little dream of mine. This info is a significant part of me starting now.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience! I actual had such a hard time finding any info on how to do any of this stuff 😭 bless your soul and have an awesome day!
So, SO helpful! It also made me pumped to start my own business. Thank you!!! You broke it down so well and so simply.
That stationery joke had me laughing too hard! Great video, Holly!
Thank you! I really appreciate all your advice and tips! Most people do not want to share any "shop secrets" so it can be hard for a newbie to find good information.Thanks for taking the time to upload your videos!
I really enjoy watching your business videos because I always learn great tips! Thank you so much for sharing your skills and experience!
Started my etsy shop nearly a year ago. Thank you so much for summing everything up! Keep it up!
This video was SOOO helpful!! Thank you so much for being generous with your knowledge.
Your video is very helpful!!! I have, like others, been thinking about beginning a stationery business for a long time now. It really stuck with me to do that ever since I created, along with my sister in law's help sending pictures, my mother's funeral program book. We outsourced printing the books and the printer service we used said that I should charge for doing things like this because the program was beautiful according to him. With my many changes in my job situation (too many darn layoffs!!!), starting my own stationery business readily crept back into focus while I am looking for work. Thank you for this vdeo, it was a blessing. May God Bless You!!!
Omg! I am soooo in love with your Channel! Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Holly, thanks for the video. I have one question: What software do you recommend for creating your stationery? Thanks so much.
Thank you! This is the best video I have come across thus far.
Such a great video! Thank you so much Holly... Off to watch the rest of your videos :)
Aww thank you soooo much! I have been dreaming of starting this business but had a lot of fears...thanks for laying it out for us :)
Wow thank you so much for being willing to share this information! It’s s definitely not taken for granted and because of it I’m going to subscribe (& click the bell) lol.
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you! I plan to watch more of your videos, and I love the dog in the background.
Thanks Holly! very generous of you to share these steps for those wanting to get started :)
Thank you so much for sharing! It's really helpful and I have been thinking a lot about starting a stationery business as I am a stationery freak myself. I subscribed to your youtube channel, keep on vlogging :)
Thanks so much for this video! You answered so many of my questions and gave me some direction, really appreciate it!!
I've never been this early before! I was just going through all your playlists to find a video I hadn't watched before and then this popped up! Thank you so much for all these tips. I'm just about to head over to your blog to download a pricing sheet.
Seriously, thanks so much for this. I've been trying to wrap my head around my business possibilities but this helps give me an idea and start working on a plan and launch.
so happy to hear that Hannah - thanks!
Thank you for this info! You're such a blessing!
Thank you so much! This was quite helpful! Feeling better about getting things off the ground with my business idea now!
what I found out was to find a local print shop (not self serve) who can give you advice on paper selections and work with you for custom templates. You’re support local and it’s so much cheaper.
I think I found the best video explaining about stationery and other related items. Thank you for the video!
You are awesome, Holly! Thank you so much! I love you videos !
Very helpful video! Thank you so much for sharing 💜
Love the advice you gave in this video! I’ll be opening an online store soon and I’m doing as much research as possible (:
I love how informative this is! Thank you!
Thank you so much. I have been wanting to do this for a while.
this video is so helpful!
thanks so much!
just subbed! You're very informative and just encouraging as well
Thank you Holly for all your amazing and helpful videos! 😂 Wishing you all best! 😂😂😂
Omg! I am so at a place where that whole sale catalog video you mentioned would be glitter to my soul right now lol. I hope one day you are able to make it please!
The most helpful video I've ever watched. THANKS 😊
Thank You! so much Holly:) truly appreciate it
omg holly this was so helpful, I really want to do this in the future but I can find hardly any information like this!!! thank you!!!!
Thank u so much love! All the info is so helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing all your wisdom! Helping me so much :) x
I had a stationary business way back in the late 90s and early 2000s. I did everything from obituaries, to church programs, to brochures. Much success to anyone starting this kind of business.
Did you wholesale any of your designs to retailers? I’m trying to find out where a good distributor is for greeting cards, postcards, art prints, and other things that you would sell to gift shops.
First of all I did not notice the dog until it moved lol
And also THANK YOU for this video, it was honestly the most straight forward and informative video and just what I was looking for! I really appreciate you putting together this video.💕
Thank you for sharing a WEALTH of information. You are a beautiful person to do this. Thank you!
Thanks Holly, great video! Great to hear other people talk about the stationery sales journey. My big lofty goal is to one day go to the national stationery show! Love your channel :)
you can do it, Laura!!
Holly Casto Thanks Holly, you are an inspiration!
Another great video Holly, I am loving these!
happy to hear that - thank you!
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing.
awesome video- this is such a huge help!!!! Thank you!
Girl, thanks for that spelling lesson at the start of the video. It seems that many social media folks no longer care about using correct spelling. It’s like anything goes!
Right?!
This was super helpful I can't wait to get started
This was great info! Thank you for posting.
What printer would you recommend for printing the invitations I want to offer that
Thanks so much for this!!! I subscribed! 💖💖💖
Bless you for sharing this!! Thank you!
thank you so much for this video!!! it was so helpful!!
The best, most simply stationery video I have seen this far
So many great ideas thank you!!!
uh this topic is interesting. i always thought about this kind of shop. thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this video! This video helped a ton!! I would love more details on wholesale if you're ever interested in making a video on it. How to approach stores to sell you stationary there, etc. seriously though I couldn't find any other videos on this with this much detail so you're amazing 😇
Thank you for creating this video!
Fabulous info. Thx, Holly! Would love to see a video tour of your set-up when you do a craft show or have a pop-up shop. I appreciated the video on how to set up your booth at a craft fair but would love to have further visuals. Thanks!!
Wow... thanks so much for sharing all this info! So helpful! ... and lots of love to that beautiful doggie! :D
darling u sure dont knw how helpful this video is and the information. thanks a lot i really needed this information.
I thought your fur baby was a blanket or pillow through the whole video until he/she turned toward the camera 😂. Thank you so much for the great information and sources!
I have been thinking about starting my own stationery business for a while and was afraid to. Didn't know where or how to begin. But this video was very informative and encouraged me to take the leap, baby steps first but to at least start. At age 50 starting something new can become terrifying. Thank you for sharing and I will consider this to be my mentor.
so happy to hear that Maria! you should for sure take the leap. :)
Love the all inclusive info! What type of stationery did you sell?
Thank u very much for the information..God bless u....its really educative n helpful
super helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you for this video! I've watched your other videos about your business, your start on Etsy, and everything else! I am currently deployed, but I am designing while I'm here b/c my goal is to put 110% in this when I get back. I'm enjoying your regular postings! Thank you.
And hi Chester!
Great Information!! Thank you so much!
Super helpful, thank you!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!
Thanks so much for this video! I was looking around quite awhile for tips, but google doesn't give the answers you need.. And for some reason, not many people are not interested to help you out. So thanks for sharing this, it was super handful! I'll watch all your other videos too .. xoxo
This was very helpful, thanks
Greattt video, helped alott
Hi, thank you for the tips. Another thhing, I was so serious listening to you then your dog moved and showed its face. Cute ♥️
Hey holly! What software did you use to create the designs? Thanks so much for this helpful video.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I’m doing greeting cards, and I’m just curious if there is a wholesale Netwerk of distributors to sell to. I am on Faire, Creoate, , and a few other online distributors who distribute to Indy stores, but I’m also looking into getting into the old school net work, I don’t know if there is one distributor they want you to be exclusive, or if you work with sales reps.
That’s for sharing all this valuable information.
I wish I had the background in graphic design to do this (maybe in the future). Really good info nonetheless.
I see the blanket you crocheted in the background; it looks so good with the wall color (I kept getting distracted, lol).
haha thank you!! that minty blue is my favorite color so I use it a lot :)
Thanks for your helpful video! Any suggestions on conventions that are open to the public? It looks like NSS is only open for those already in the industry.
Thank you for this video, so helpful!
Happy to help Rachel - thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this! It is so helpful to hear your personal experience and tips about the stationery world. You might have a video about this already, but do stationery artists ever run into issues with copyright?
Hi there, this is a really good video, Thanks a lot! Based on your experience, I would like to know your opinion about which type of printer do you recommend to print watercolor and other images for stationery laser or inkjet? Thanks in advance 💚
Thank you for this video!! :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge , do I need to register my design
Thank you! ~Chester's so cute!
Hey holly, thanks for sharing this very informative video. I am just wondering if by chance you know any software I can add on my website to let clients customise fonts/colour themes on an invite template? Thanks
Thank you so much!! 😊👍
You mention that you will be posting a separate video for resellers but I couldn't find it. Could you share the link please?
Great video! Awesome dog!
YOU ARE SO AWESOME. IVE BEEN RUNNING AROUND LEARNING, BUT AVOIDING THE PROBLEM "I WISH I HAD KNOWN!" THANKS FOR BREAKING DOWN THE DIGITAL MEDIA INDUSTRY
thanks Jamie!

This is invaluable. Thank you so much. I was stuck at finding suppliers but your recommendations are so good.
