  • So I decided to set on my own venture of creating memo pads after spending a little too much of my dime on manufactured samples. I don't think my wallet could take it again, but what cost less? Trying it myself. So I went through all the routes of research and...let's just say this is definitely a trial and effort.

      Thank you so much!!! I try to be as transparent as possible so people can see the ups and downs. I already have some other designs I want to try so I’m excited. I know I got frustrated through the process but I love crafting by hand and once I get a process down it’s less frustrating

    That is good that your sister does your hair too. It's pretty with pink color. I alway have my mom do my hair too. I feel more comfortable for my mom does it I just straight it. So does mom straight hers and curl it. When we were smaller she could us cbc curl perm and just grew long. My is longer than in the photo. I just braid after then use bans I use just clips and wear out and clip it. Now that I am older I just use bans or cap.

    I made a note pad once, I clamped it between the table and a piece of wood before adding the glue. I think it turns out slanted because you moved it around 🤔 I understand the struggle tho 🤗
    Really nice vlog, this is the first I see from you. Subscribed now and looking forward to more ❤

    • @createopotatoe
      @createopotatoe  6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you so much! And yeah it definitely slanted because I moved it and I didn't realize it until I went over the footage 🤦‍♀️ lesson learned tho. Even tho it was a struggle, I really do enjoy crafting so can't wait to try again

    Dw abt the number of sheets in the notepad, cause imo around 40-50 is fine. it's a smaller notepad but not uncommon! I'd still buy one. And yea the back isn't too important but it's good for branding. Anyways looove the braids, they look so good!! And Snail tape dispenser sounds so cute ToT ToT

    you can consider packaging your orders in a dark wrapping before putting it in the eco envelope if you are concern about transparence

    Shiv from Cwazy Club! Hear ya on tornado season. It's always comes at the worst times--gotta sit in my basement and wonder what I'll do if my desktop computer gets damaged. Notepad making always looked like a labor of... insanity? lol. Looks like a ton of work and paper cutters are never that accurate. The only efficient way seems when people print huge stacks of paper and use a heavy duty guillotine that are closer to professional cutters but I'm still not sure it's worth the effort/equipment cost.
    Also, vistaprint proofs are a little tricky/shady as they do not show the CUT line which is the most important line for reference in proofs. They only show a "safe" line and bleed line but not the actual edge of where they cut. Not sure if that helps.

    • @createopotatoe
      @createopotatoe  6 місяців тому

      No that helps a lot. My sister has to utilize them a lot for her job but even she says they are tricky. I found that using my sticker printer myself is ten times better and I have full control over the quality and quantity, saving money on samples. I hate having to deal with CMYK converting with my pinks 😩😩 and I have a limited budget. I saved more doing it myself so I’ll probably keep doing that since I get to experiment with different designs.
      Like I mentioned, I have OCPD and it makes it extremely difficult when my products are getting messed up by manufacturers. I’ve already found good ones for other physical products that can work with the Pantone colors I use but the guillotine was also for my prints and custom cards. And the paper for the memo pads were actually quite cheap compared to the two manufactured samples I had done which was a surprise.

    • @createopotatoe
      @createopotatoe  6 місяців тому

      Some things I’m willing to go the extra mile for if it means having my stuff precisely how I need it to be and crafting it on my own. I did get frustrated but I truly love crafting by hand. Next is going to be clay stuff. Gotta get the materials

    Hi
    Thanks for video 😊
    I think you using your gilotine wrong.
    I think that transparent is for protecting your fingers and need to be very close to blade. Then also that magnet should be closer to blade. Then you should have really nice cuts. When you have that black magnet in the middle of the page, while making cut, your page is moving.
    Hope that helps😊
    And sorry for mistakes, I'm polish 🙂

    • @createopotatoe
      @createopotatoe  6 місяців тому

      This is so helpful! Thank you! I knew the invisible one was the finger guard, it was just too bulky with how small some of my prints were making it difficult to use but I didn't know that about the black magnet so thank you so much! This is my very first time using one so ANY tips are always helpful.
