Getting MY LIFE TOGETHER! 🌈💛/ How I'm organizing my shop and business / ILLUSTRATOR STUDIO VLOG
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- Welcome back to another week in the studio! I don't even know how I'm writing this right now, I'm so so tired! It was another week of trying to organize my life and by business!
It has been a little crazy here in the studio this week. I need to change how I do things and I'm taking you along with me in this journey! Sometimes things don't work as we expect, we just need to keep learning and adapting, right?
I spent all week trying to organize stock, making products, counting everything and packing some lovely orders that I got during the weekend! I also had some fail attempts with the tote bags and the press, I think last week it was begginers luck with the press, lol
I open some lovely happy mail! Can't wait for you to see everything

⭐ ABOUT ME: ⭐
Hi there! My name is Beatriz Penas and I'm a portuguese illustrator, nice to meet you! I've been taking my illustration more seriously and making a business out of it since the beggining of 2019. I'm always trying to create more illustrations and more products and I thought it would be nice to share my process! Hope you like my vídeos and my work.
I died laughing when your headphones broke😂
Eeheheheh! They are glued now 😅
Your a special person, i see your a hard working woman and you always encorage others to do what they like or dream. Thats what i admire of you, i hope your shop grows and people keep buying from you. God bless you and have a wondrful weekday.
Your words were what I needed to hear right now 😌 I opened my shop last January and got 1 order since then and nothing else. I also started posting studio vlogs, but nobody seems to be watching. When you said to keep going, I really felt as if it's meant to be said for me. Thank you 🥰💕
Aww lovely, it really was!!! Glad it made a different in your day. Keep making art and new products. We all have the same path, giving up or keep going it's all the difference it can make to your future 🥰💛💛 I'm sure you're doing great and success will come!
@@aPenasIllustrator thank youu~ 🥰💕 hope you get to visit my vlog. I still have a lot to improve tho hehe. They're not as good as your vlogs
Hey! Me & my daughter watched this from start to finish & absolutely loved it! Smiled all the way through with some giggles 🤭🎧😂
Please don’t apologise for the “lots of packaging clips” we all love to watch the process! And that’s your job 🥰😍
Thank you for the amazing content as usual 🤩 can’t wait for the new shop update! 🥰🤗
Aww, glad you could have some quality time with Isla with my company eheh. That makes me so so happy! 🥰 Thank you so much Sandie, you're alway so sweet and kind!
Eeeeeeek thankyou so so much for the shout out and thankyou so much to the lovely people who have come across to subscribe - its given me so much confidence to get better and continue 💚💚💚💚
That makes me so sooooo happy I could cry 🥺 I really wish you all the best! Keep going, you got this 💛
Following!
@@ArtySubu thank you so much 😍
@@ArtySubu ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t know you did studio vlogs @douglas and the dinosaur! I’ll go check your channel out now xxx Thanks for sharing Bia. Xx
Hi Bia, Have you ever thought about bundling some of the items that are slow sellers or old designs into a mystery bundle? Or, it could be a stationery box like Cloth & Paper. That might be a good way to get rid of some older inventory. Hope you are having a good week.
Hiii! I have mistery boxes of different values on my website! :D
Such a lovely lovely video, a big congrats on 7k, I'm so happy for your growth and progress, Bia! You 100% deserve it :) 💖I have the bubble problem with resin too, and someone who makes resin home accessories told me blow torching it before curing works to remove them! I haven't tried this myself as I don't have a blow torch haha but (according to the internet) pouring thin layers and warming up the resin also helps! Also, it's so nice of you to share smaller creators, you're building a really lovely and supportive community 🥺 💕
Thank you so much lovely Rita 💛 I use a lighter, but maybe a blow torchnwill be more effective? The big bubbles disappear, but the little ones don't.. Didn't thought about warming it, I only saw that with normal resin not uv one. But I guess it doesn't hurt to try? 🤔
You're will be share as well, I absolutely love your videos 💛
English fading away is nothing to be embrassed about! English is my dominate language and I don't even know how to speak sometimes 😂🤦♀️
Glad to know that 😂 I've had to edit several minutes of me just stating at the wall trying to think of words lol
Totally. Sometimes I malfunction myself.
Haha same!
This was such an emotional vlog 🤤 I didn't knew if i would cry, jump or yell 😂 In the end i was more apathetic because i felt like "this is unbelievable...that's my stuff and she liked...like wow" 🥰 (secretly my imposter syndrome was in shock 🤣) Thank you much for the share. I'm feeling inside a big bubble of love and support since yesterday. You deserve that you're growing and it's finally paying off your work. You're so honest and friendly. You go girl 🤩😍 THANKS so muchh 💗
You're too sweet!! Everything was AMAZING! If you can re-watch it and see the premier chat, everyone loved everything 💛 so so happy you're feeling that way, you deserve the love and recognition for sure 🥰💛
New here but already so happy that your last vlogs have been packing because that means a talented, bright person is finding success doing what they love!!! 🥰
Thank you so much, that is true! You're very lovely, thanks for the love,, means a lot 🥰💛
Love Jess too!
She's amazing 🥰

The strawberry earring is so cute!!
Aaah thank you so much 🥰 ✨ still not sure if I'll resin them or not!
You’re so adorable!
I get it, I’m not a native speaker too and my English also “fades away” when I’m getting too tired or sleepy :)
Glad I'm not the only one eheh 😂 Thank you so much lovely!
I love “Jess was here”
She's amazing 🥰

Thanks for the encouragement words 🥰 Just keep making things and improving...
You're welcome lovely 😍 exactly💛💛
Your hand writing is so nice and neat! also oh no, your poor headphones!
I think we all have weeks that are kind of off, I know I have them from time to time. Hopefully this week is much better for you all around.
Also congrats on reaching 7K!
Aww thank you so much! My teachers hated it because it was so small ehehe 😂 exactly! 😊 Just need some rest and I'll be feeling full of energy and motivated, I'm sure. Thank you so much 🥰🌼
We love u because u deserve , u r amazing.....👑
That's very sweet, thank you 🥺💕
Congratulations on 7k!! You deserve it and even more! You're so so sweet and you have such a beautiful energy ❤️ Um abraço de Lisboa!
Thank you so much Maria 🥺 és uma querida 💛🥰
I hit subscribe when your headphones broke and you made that face and that music started. 🤣
Ahahahah 😂 Thank you so much!
Congrats on 7k! Totally deserved :)
Thank you so much 🥰
congrats on 7k! I love your vlogs, and those socks came out so cute! 💜
Aaaaah I love your vlogs too!!! Your work is amazing! Thank you so much lovely 😍
I love watching your videos ❤️❤️
Congrats on 7k 😘😘
Love from India 🇮🇳
So happy you enjoy them, thank you so much for watching 😭 and thank you for the kind words! Love from Portugal 🥰
I love your work.. your business is my dream business..Like being crafty.Hoping to have enough savings for having those machine especially the cutting machine.. sending love from Philippines 🇵🇭
Hey lovely! Hope you can do anything you want in the future! Don't give up! I bought them little by little, have been doing this for 3 years now 💛
I love watching you and have learned so much. I appreciate your sweet spirit and kind words,
Thank you so much lovely, that means a lot! 🥰💛
So glad that you're growing as an artist and getting the recognition you deserve ❤️ For the bubbles in the resin, you can try using a heat gun before curing if you haven't already. DecorRom UV resin is one I've had a good experience with if you're looking to change brands 🙌
Thank you so much Eve, that means a lot to me! :D I do use heat, but it doesn't seem to work! I guess the reaction is for something else!
Hi Bia, you're absolutely a joy to watch..such a lovely person. I am glad for your success!
Thank you so much lovely, that means a lot 😍😍
I love your notebooks and pads!
Thank you so much!! So happy you like them 🥰
I missed the livestream again. Looks like we always schedule things at the same time 😂 I loved how chaotic your week was! I also looove Jess was here. Her racoons are the cutest. I am feeling the same way about stock - especially with notebooks, but because I have three paper types, so I never know what people will like. Congrats again on (almost 8k now!) 7k 🥳
Maybe we should do a live stream together and solve it 😂 Jess is amazing eheheh. Yeah that's why I kind of gave up on other types of paper, is a lot to handle 😔
Thank April!! 😊
@@aPenasIllustrator ahhh that would be so fun Bia! I was talking to Liz about doing a dual livestream but we didn't know how 🤣
@@monkeymintaka maybe use ops (I think that's the name lol) and stream a zoom call 😜
@@aPenasIllustrator obs maybe? That's what I use for twitch! Good idea :)
@@monkeymintaka that! 😊
Congratulations on 7K Bia! You deserve it! You make me want to do shrink plastic stuff again (I have some left over from years ago) Also, going to check out the channels you recommended. :)
Thank you so much Andy! :D You should, is super fun to use ehehhe
Hi! You are so cute! I love the way you talk! You are sweet and honest.
Thanks for inspiring us!
Greetings from Colombia.
Thank you so much lovely, that means a lot 🥰
I'm so happy for you! Thanks for your support for us, fellow small business ^3^
I admire how you manufacture it all, despite technical difficulties o/
I'm definitely checking these recommendations; have a good day!
We got this, we just need to keep going 🥰 thank you so much lovely! 😊
What a lovely vlog Beatriz 😍 I had so much fun watching and having you keep me company whilst I chill and do some weaving 🥰❤️ I love seeing you packaging orders - you have such beautiful products and you can see how much love you put into every step with the way you package them up too! So excited for future vids xx
Thank you so much Joanna! 🥺 That really means a lot. You're a wonderful company as well eheh 🥰 thanks for the lovely words 💛
@@aPenasIllustrator Aw my pleasure lovely 🥰❤️ it means so much to me that you watch my vids too 😍
Aaah thank you so much lovely!! 🥰I didn't expect you were going to do a shoutout in your channe!! I did notice I got some followers tonight and I wondered what had happened 😂 Great vlog as always, so glad to see the market went well! And I need to be better organized too and prepare more stock in advance @_@
You're welcome Jess, you deserve all the love! 😊 Thank you! Guess we learned a lot from this weekend 😂😂
You are so Inspiring 🥰 I am so scared of taking the first steps into launching my etsy store. The worry that no one will like my work ❤
I have my shop opened for 2 years and I feel the exact same way eveerytime I lauch a new products eheh. Things can take time, but don't get discouraged! You got this 💛👀🌸
Congrats on 7k! It's been fun seeing you grow! I always use a lighter to pop the bubbles in my uv resin projects before putting it in the lamp. It may help getting some of the invisible bubbles as well! The way you made the memopads in bulk was so smart! I'll definitely have to try something like that next time!
Thank you so much May 😍 I use a lighter, but it doesn't seem to help :( I'm a little afraid that is a reaction from the shrink plastic with the resin. We'll see with the new resin how it goes!
Eheh thanks, I saw that on tiktok actually 😂
@@aPenasIllustrator Ah, Tiktok can be very helpful, lol! Hmm, now that I think about it you're probably right about the resin and shrink film reaction. I use a different type of uv resin and that happened with my shrink film pieces as well.
@@MayYangArt did you got like little marks on the top, like little incisions? It's so wierd
@@aPenasIllustrator I have that with some of the pieces. Yes, it definitely is weird.
@@MayYangArt so maybe is not the resin 🤔
Im always watching your vlogs. It inspired me to start small business here in the Philippines. I was shocked when I saw your tiktok .. hihi 😁😁😘
Thanl you so much Angélica, so happy for that! I hope you are having fun 😍 aaah, you found me on tiktok?
All the channels are very new for me, will definitely visit them.
Awesome video. Love long video🥰
Hope you like them, go give them some love 😍 thank you so much lovely 💛
I love seeing the behind the scenes! I whimpered with you when your headphones broke 😢 Your products are so cute, I was going to buy some things from your shop, but instead I totally cancelled my Inku crate subscription so I could subscribe to your Patreon mystery box! I can’t wait to see what you send! Thank you also for sharing new channels, I love finding new creators to follow!
Eheheh, I'm glad you do! They are glued now, I need to keep using my earbuds so this doesnt happen anymore eheh. Thank you so so much, I really hope you enjoy your first patreon boxes, they are made with a lot of love 💛
Your videos are FANTASTIC! You demonstrate and explain like a natural born teacher. I know you're super busy, but could you make a tutorial on getting accurate measurements on the guillotine cutter? I'm hearing it's a nightmare to get straight cuts. Is that true? Thanks for the great content! You work so hard and deserve your success. :D
Aww that makes me so happy, thank you so much for the lovely words! I always thought I was super bad at explaining things 😂 I can do that in the future, foi sure! But I really think it depends on the cutter you get, more than the way you use it. The left part in some machines gets looser than others. But I'll try to gather some tips for sure! 🥰
You were packing my order!! 😀 I can’t wait to receive it and read your note! ❤️
Yeeeees, it was the first one I packed eheh 😍😍 hope it arrives very soon
Btw love the blooper with your headphone it made me laugh so hard! 😂
OMG I was so happy the camera was filming 😂 this is exactly what happen in my day to day lol. Wierd things
I am fan of you now bec you are so crafty😁😁🥰
Aww thank you so much! :)
Bia, parabéns pelos 7k! Eu conheci seu canal faz pouco tempo e não parei mais de te assistir. Seus vídeos têm sido minha companhia favorita enquanto trabalho nas minhas criações! Queria ser sua amiga hahaha você é maravilhosa! Sinto muito pelo seu headphone 🤭 eu ri, mas foi com respeito, te prometo! Parabéns pelo trabalho incrível que você faz, você merece muito!! 🥰🥰
Muito obrigada 😍 😍 que bom, espero ser uma boa companhia eheh! Manda-me msg no instagram, podemos falar mais por lá se quiseres ou enviar cartas eheh 😘 muito obrigada, és uma querida 💛
Yayyy!! So so happy for you 🥰 and you made me laugh ❤️ you are awesome! Love watching your videos as ever!!
You're always a sweetheart, thank you so much! Very glad to know I made you laugh eheh 😍💛
And now almost 9k! Wahoo!
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi! I love your videos so much! You’re giving me so much inspiration and power to try , thank you for sharing!🧚🏻♀️
How do you decide which order to pack in mailer and which to pack in a box 📦?
Aaah thank you so much for watching, really means a lot to me 😍 for lighter orders I use envelopes. For heavier ones with some notebooks or orders with pins I use boxes 🥰
Whoop for 7k 😁. I'm trying to think of some other channels - do you know of Rose Muzen already? I think I found her channel after April recommended her. Her vlogs are nice and funny too.
Thanks Emma 😍 I don't, I'll definitely check her out eheh. Thank you for the recommendation, I always love the channels you recommend me eheh
Hi from Indonesia 🙋🏻♀️
For bubble inside resin, please try to put some heat before curing them in UV light
You can try lighter or heater to remove the bubble from resin surface, hope that can help you 😊
Hiii! I do apply heat with a lighter but it doesn't get better 😭 I really thing is from the curing of the resin. I'll try with others, hope it get better. M
@@aPenasIllustrator Just watched your latest vlog earlier today and I glad you figured out how the vernish should be dried first before using resin 😻👍🏻
Can I say that I’m so proud of your hard working Bia 😻
Love love love your arte,cada video,tu personalidad,hermosa y talentosa artista,sueño con tener algo hecho por vos pero estoy muyyy lejos,ya podre,saludos desde Argentinaaaa!!!!
Thank you so much lovely! You're so sweet! Sending much love from Portugal 🥰💛
your intro is so cute! kind of reminds me of a doughnut haha ✨
Now I want a doughnut eheheh 😂 thank you! 🥰
@@aPenasIllustrator haha same here! sorry for dragging you into this.. :D
@@justanotherartsygirl4162 no worries at all ehehe
Amei seu canal.

E estou literalmente apaixonada por suas criações.

Só sinto falta das legenda em português.
Mais desejo mais luz e criatividade para vc .
Beijos e um abraço caloroso .

Muito obrigada Rachel, fico muito feliz que tenhas gostado do meu canal! Não consigo colocar legendas automáticas em português, não sei porque o youtube não deixa e não consigo colocar manualmente porque demora imenso tempo. Pode ser que futuramente consigamos 💛
I use a torch lighter to release any possible bubbles from my resin before curing. I know some people use a heat gun. Hope this is helpful.
I use a lighter as well, but it only works with the big bubbles and not this smaller ones! These are very wierd, it's like little dot's on the resin :( Thank you for your comment!
I have seen other UA-camr’s use alcohol in a spray bottle to pop the little resin bubbles!
@@thatemazinbatmankid I've seen that too but saw some people say it takes the shine waway? 🤔 But I'll try it! Do they add it before curing it?
@@aPenasIllustrator Yeah I keep hearing that it does take the shine away and might even fade the colors. :( I'm sorry, I didn't even think about that! But yes, they spray a bit before they cure it. I also want to just say I recently found your channel and love your content!
Hi. New subscriber here. May I know what kind of paper did you used for the cover of your notebooks?
Hi Karen! Thank you so much for subscribing! I use matte paper. You can check a tutorial I have just for notebooks, I mention everything over there :)
Where did you make your designs?
What is the machine you have to cut the yellow flowers
Use heat to pop resin's bubbles before curing.
I do! It doesn't solve it :)
@@aPenasIllustrator oh no, oh well.
Well, I love all of your works and what you do. Everything you made (and make) are so pretty!

Ohh no, that was a waste of paper. I think it happens when we do production by own 🙄
