  • Hi there! Besides chatting while unboxing some small business goodies, this week's studio vlog is a bit of a quieter one as I focused on making and packing a bunch of orders. I start off the week by organizing and tidying up my workspace, then working on making my own kraft envelopes (since my ecoenclose shipping supplies order came late), making holiday ornaments, unboxing small business goodies, packing Potty Mouth "seconds" orders and new vinyl stickers (!!!!), and preparing orders for shipping! Hope you enjoy! I appreciate you watching!

    I admire how organized you are, my room will never look that good! I love watching your videos every week and seeing how you run your shop, I look forward to each and every post! Your videos and the way you film/edit them is so aesthetically pleasing! 😃😃😃

      Honestly the room is always chaos by the end of the day. I tidy up a lot for videos lol. I wish I was the kind of person that could put something away as soon as I'm done, but I'm usually working on many things simultaneously which causes all my surfaces to get cluttered very easily. Thank you so much for your love and support. I'm glad you enjoy my videos and the editing 😊💜

    I cut down some shelf liner/easy liner is the brand name, in my Alex drawers so things wouldn’t slide around. I hate opening my drawers and everything is pushed to the back lol. Just a tip I heard about in another UA-cam video and thought I pass it on lol. If you don’t wanna go that route you can buy tacky putty, the stuff you use to put up posters on the wall, and tack some on the bottom of your boxes so they don’t shift. I found this way was a little more time consuming but worked just the same.

      Thank you! It's only the poop stickers that it's been struggling with since the outline is intricate, they're little, and I fit so many onto one sheet that the further down the page it cuts, the more off it gets. Everything else is cutting fine :(. I'll probably just make them a tad bigger and have them cut out on circles instead of the shape of the poop lol

      @TanaMakes  3 роки тому +1

      Thank you! I love the amount of detail they're able to get in their stamps and the tissue paper is very good quality and cool that you can order pretty low quantities. It's definitely pricier for both though and an investment. If you order a low quantity of tissue paper and use an entire sheet for one order, it's a definitely a cost you have to factor in when pricing your items as it's a lot more than usual plain tissue paper. I was gifted mine from them.

    • @TanaMakes
      @TanaMakes  3 роки тому

      I rarely ever have issues with it, and if I ever run into an issue, it's usually an easy fix like cleaning something, restarting, or changing the setting for engraving/cutting since wood/acrylic sheets can vary slightly in thickness.

      @TanaMakes  3 роки тому +1

      I have. I have a video unboxing stuff they sent me. I thought they were pretty nice at first but everything I got came straight from China and not in very eco-friendly packaging. They also do not use recycled materials. I'd rather purchase from ecoenclose who is more transparent, makes everything in the US, and uses a lot of recycled materials.

      I started Etsy 3 years ago. It took a lot of research, improving, and seeing what sold best. It took months before my first sale and even months where I only broke even because I used Etsy ads to help me gain exposure. You don't really start profiting and seeing more sales until you've got a good amount of sales, reviews, and start to build a good reputation 😊

    Hi Tana,
    I hope that you and your family are well and in the so called Christmas Spirit I have just watched your studio vlog entitled - studio vlog 28 - a week of running two Esty shops, organizing, DIY envelopes, packing orders, and I was Truly Inspired by you actually making your very own envelopes.
    I am in the process of buying a - Cricut Machine - myself and I have always wanted to learn How to Make my own Envelopes of various sizes and You made it look so Incredibly Easy, but I'm sure there's more to know than what's on screen.
    So I was wondering if you would be willing to help me teach / show me how to make envelopes using a - Cricut Machine - Please Your Help and Advice would Truly be Very much Appreciated.
    I truly look forward to receiving your reply

    • @TanaMakes
      @TanaMakes  3 роки тому

      Hello! Thank you so much. Hope you and your family are doing well too. If you go to etsy.com and look up something along the lines of "envelope template svg," you'll be able to find different cut file offerings from lots of shops and you can see what envelope style you think would be best for you. Usually these only cost a couple dollars each, so I'd even buy several and see what my favorite it. Then you can just upload that file into cricut design space, cut it put on a paper of your choice or cardstock like I used, and fold where needed to make the envelope 😊
