Part of your charm is your accent! 🥰
I love how to you talk to Dean about the happenings and then you hear crickets from Dean, it’s so cute 🥰
Haha alot of the time she catches me off guard and then doesn’t give me time to answer haha but she is normally just thinking out loud 😂
Those sticker packs are FULL 😍😍✨
I think that’s honestly why I chose silhouette over cricket because of all of the horror stories I hear from people I follow on UA-cam or Instagram, or on TikTok. Silhouette gives you more space on the page and I can work offline and I only need to be synced with the machine that I’m working with.
I agree- at first i tried the cricket and i couldnt get it to cut correctly or align for the life of me. I even spent multiple sessions online with the cricket support to help fix the issue, but in the end i returned it and went with a silhouette portrait. Not gonna lie- i was a bit bummed out because the crickets are so much prettier to look at, but at the end of the day i needed something that i could rely on. 🫤
@@JasmineFairy135 I covered mine with stickers 😍😝
Many even large businesses do a pre sale for items with promise to deliver after item is made. I got lune book in fall and it’s coming in February sometimes
I really love you sharing your process and products you use with us!! Thank you for another lovely vlog. Also, I’ve been slacking on social media too, but with all the changes I’ve noticed consistency doesn’t make as much of a difference as it does if you just have a lot of content.
I love your journey from where you’ve started and how you’ve grown Kat! Our art styles and love for pastels are so similar, but it’s so encouraging for me to have someone like you to look up to that has that same vibe and aesthetic. I’ve only stayed in the product design industry but I’ve dreamed of using my creativity to create my own shop. Everything has only been on my iPad and sketchbooks but I hope I can make this dream happen. You give me confidence because I know it takes a lot of love and work. Keep it up!
I found your channel late one night and I absolutely love you! I look forward to your videos and I have enjoyed my katnipp purchase ❤❤
Thanks for the boost of motivation Katherine! I came home a few hours ago now from volunteering work and honestly I ended up napping until tea time I was so tired. Now after watching this however I'm more motivated to get some things done. Maybe not big things but things that are on my to-do list anyway. Loved the video as always! :)
I love watching these vlogs. Gets me through my day at work!
Omg thank you SO much for showing the quick release. That is a total game changer for me!!
Yayyyyy! Your vlogs are always the highlight of my week! Great early birthday present!
You are always such a mood. I keep putting off making my die cut stickers too. I also ran into that cricut issue and had to reinstall all I wanted was more envelope seal stickers and it took ages. I will have to try printing it different settings everything comes out so dull thanks for the tip!
Katherine I loved when you use the words Oopsy Daisy, I haven't heard that in a long time thank you for making me laugh! And oh by the way everything is so cute! Love it!
Awww! The new stickers look so great! I couldn’t pick a favourite, as I love them both.❤
You should look into actual commercial grade vinyl cutters. They are 60% quicker than cricut and can do whole rolls anywhere from 12” up to 54” of vinyl. I was like that too when I first started until I realized there’s a better and faster way ❤️
your daisy's flower sweater is so adorable cute I like it.
Oh my gosh I just ordered a couple of prints from your shop last night and then here you are, on my recommended page!! Going to binge watch all your vids now 💓
I enjoy these kinda all over vlogs! Fun stuff!
I really enjoyed watching how you work in your lovely studio. I watched it with my baby and she likes it too. I love my Bumblebut so cute. Hope your week is going well. Love you! ❤
Hey Catherine! I was curious if you've put any thought into one day designing and selling larger desk mats that can go under your keyboard and mouse, say 36x12~ . I'm always trying to find new ones to spice up my desk area and I absolutely love everything you design! ♥
Love this so much could watch all day with long videos stickers been made makes me happy 🥰😍
Loved the vlog. The sticker packs are sooo cute 🥰.
I love how perfect those boxes are! I need to find a supplier that can make similar boxes. The one I use has a minimum of 1.5" tall so they can't be as flat as yours. Also, they use a thicker cardboard. The sticker packs are also very cute! Your videos are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Stickers look cute, hope all the issues get solved quickly
Hello Katherine 👋 wow...amazing I commend you on all the hard work you are doing...I just got my cricket an im so lost trying to make stickers an u def inspire me thank you! 😊 I pray I can get to this point one day 🙏 thanks again sweetie for sharing your amazing work ❤
Estoy muy feliz de ver algo tan bonito 😊
Love, love, LOVE watching your videos!
The citrus pin is so cute!!
Love your studio…so cute❤ and also love all your stickers
Omg, just stumbled across your channel and I am OBSESSED! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love it all, the products, the office aesthetic, the energy and the accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣
its hypnotizing watching all the cricuts cut together 🤪
Thanks for commenting on the shipping. I have two separate orders Im waiting on....dont worry, I will keep waiting.🦋
You make the creation of content look so fun. I always dread that part of owning a small business, I think it's where I lack the most. Do you think you'll ever make a video about how you make and edit your content?
I really love watching your vlogs, they make my day ☺ I'm not surprised bumblebutt nearly sold out, it's adorable! Have you considered doing pre-orders to help get them back in stock? it can really help for items that are a lot to fund! Anyways, keep up the fantastic work and have a lovely day! 🐝
I hope you squeak through OK with your business challenges, Catherine. I suppose all the Tom Hanks music helps! LOL
I once accidentally ordered 1 of a sticker instead of 100. The 3 I recieved (the company always sends a few extra) sold outsuper fast. I just called them 'super limited' and learned fomr my mistake! 😅
I absolutely love your creativity and openness, thank you! I am looking into Procreate and was wondering what IPad model you have?
omg... been a while since i've seen dean. probably since his surgery. tell him congrats on the weight loss. you can defiantly tell. you both have but we see u more often. proud of u both. also saw mike in the background tell him hi for me if u got the time.
Love your videos and your art
Lovely stickers, great camera click hack and Yey UK International post was back end of last week so fingers crossed you'll be able to get back on track soon. x
11:09 Bless you!!
i dont know if someone else has mentioned this before but if ur wanting to make more bee's or whatever try doing a kick starter. i've seen artist use that and give incentives for every time they reach their goal.
really trying to step my game up this year and be more productive and consistent . also I love your twinkling lights in the background. where can I find lights like that and do I search up twinkling lights?
Amazon has a LOT of different kinds of twinkling lights. That’s where I bought mine and my Daughter’s.😊
Have you.tried a brother scan and cut? Just print your image on sticker paper, than put it through the.machine, set your bleed and cut depth and the.machine will scan it and kiss cut your images.
Not me straight away going to buy that quick release claw!
Love your video! Where did you get your cute water bottle?
you always have the best amazon finds ^...^ But I'm also trying to improve my reels and tiktoks and I didn't know you could film them through my camera, thank you so much ^...^
Hello! :) have you thought of pre paid bumblebut? When you have enough demands you order them :) some shops do this for sweathers and stuff
i love your process Im from colombia
I adore your style and also your openness in showing the various aspects of your creativity and business! One thing: The printer link in your description goes to the ipad product. Questions: you use vinyl sheets for the stickers, I think? and, if so, are you using pigment or dye ink for those? Thank you again for your awesomeness!
What sticker paper do you recommended and for waterproofing do you laminate or get already waterproofed paper? I checked several videos but cannot find an affiliate link to purchase them from your recommendation 😃 if they were somewhere else.
I have been a fan and subscriber of your channel for a few months and love watching your videos and channel!
You inspire me to move forward in my art goals thanks for sharing your journey and advice for small businesses ❤️
You should consider designing a colouring book 👀
definitly do a go funme or one of those for a plush!
Could you do preorders for Bumblebutt?
what color of pink lipstick do you use - I LOVE IT!
Would you mind sharing how you make your stickers from coloring to printing to cutting? I am having a really big issue with trying to get my colors to come out the way that I want them to. If you dont no biggie I still love ya!!! You are the best!!!
it helps to make sure your project is set to CMYK color mode before printing! I also think katnipp has a video from a few years ago walking everyone through her process from formatting to importing to printing to cutting!
Hi, I love your videos! I was wondering where did you get the industrial legs for the table? Do they have a name? Link? Thanks! :-)
There from Amazon if you could message our Etsy store and I can send over the link for you 😊
Bonjour. What paper do you use for Stickers Please, and are they waterproof ? My Epson L1800 can't print on Vinyl any advice to print waterproof stickers without laminating them ? love the energy your videos give off
whahaha the sped up sneeze at 11:08
@Katnipp hey! have you tried running design space as admin? I know this is a thing, I can do on a PC when a program is acting up not sure if Apple allows that.
RM are going back on skrike on the 16th of feb 2023 BTW super cute stickers
I've never had issues like that with design space
I would love some nice good quality stickers to use when packing my orders is there a printer you would recommend for getting stickers made.
Hello it’s Dean, I would definitely recommend the Epson eco tank range the ink lasts months ours is the 7750 ❤
New vlog! :D
What kind of sticker paper do you use?
Que bonita!
Never boring to look at your videos, a lovely moment! My 2 yo just said « Elle est belle la dame » (she is pretty the lady). 😊
🐝🐝🐝good😍✨
are there any standard sizes for stickers? been considering to sell clip art/stickers as digital files
I hate when I mis-order things like that! 🤦♀️ How do you handle recouping the cost then? (If you don’t mind sharing.) I’m always so torn I don’t want to raise prices for a time, but I also can’t usually eat it either. You’d probably lose money even selling the stickers if they barely cost less than what you charge and you still have to pay Etsy fees and shipping.
Random question, but do you still like the ecotank printers? I’m needing a new printer for stickers, cardstock and general printing so I’m seriously considering an ecotank
dean replied to a comment on here recommending an ecotank so it seems they still enjoy it
I highly recommend the eco tank range, our printers are heavily used and I only top up the inks every 4 - 5 months we use the 7750 eco tank :)
wahahahha the tape comment i feel tat in my bones
I’d love to support a new bumblebutt design on kickstarter.
Have you thought about taking pre-orders for more expensive items. So people click a pre-order knowing they have to wait a little while and pay a deposit. That way when you have a big enough order you can get some stock in. Maybe an incentive like 5% off pre-orders. But make sure that people know that deposits are not refundable. If I was buying for a Birthday or something I would be happy to do something like that if you think ahead with presents.
A lot of gamers on YT use a preorder sort of system to guarantee that there will be enough buyers for plush orders before manufacturing even begins.
Are you able to ship to the US i heard that there was a shipping delay
Hiya it’s Dean, the shipping is back to normal for International orders there’s still a bit of a delay due to back logs but you can order to USA ❤
You should look into a Momo cutter from China. They make professional cutters that are reliable, accurate and you can get so much more out of your sheet. They have a camera sensor which makes it so much more accurate. I just made the jump and I love my machine. I have had a cricut and a silhouette and found they were never accurate enough for the quality I wanted.
Message me if you want to know anymore about my machine!
do u have to use Royal Mail?
royal mail is the cheapest :/ shes said that her recent switch to another service is costing her alot of money
The majority of our orders are large letters and other couriers cost a lot more to send and we really want to keep the cost down for our customers, we are going to add another option for you to choose from i.e DHL or DPD very soon :)
I can't remember the proper name but another stationery company, Marth Brook London did an amazing campaign to allow members to purchase stock (money doesn't exchange) but it gives your company a way to grow- the only downside was I am stateside so I couldn't invest but I was all in and had my money saved for investing 💕 I really want a teacup squishy 💞💞
Please get your website up and running so I can order from you. Etsy has for no reason, permanently suspended my shop and I can't even buy off Etsy so I can't support you. 😭
Personal question, Are you expecting baby bumble bee ❤
Asking a woman you don’t randomly if she’s pregnant is so rude
Yes, that is indeed a very personal question to be asking in the very public setting of UA-cam comments... 😒
@@alskarmode honey her whole life is public I watch her here and on her personal channel.
@@manadziveasv2418 Think ya got the wrong one, dumm@ss.
Wow. What a disgusting and selfish statement. You feel privileged to her entire fuhking life? You feel it's owed to you? Do you think you get to see and know everything? 🤣
Naw, HONEY, you only get to see what she allows you to see.
And, lady, this person who you don't actually know does not owe you sh¡t. If she deems it, she will post about it.
You are not her fuhking friend.
@@bleh329 never said she owes me anything or I have right to anything, calm down, love. She looks very tiered and I asked her question, that is all. I don’t know why you feel to pitch in, let her answer it or not or let her say hey I will keep that to myself, so go and have a cup of tea and chill.
You talk very fast lol
It kills me every time you mention etsy. Make it a priority to get your site up. I'd prefer my money to go to your profits rather than the greedy etsy corporation
