Hey Crafty Friend, I'm so happy you came across my channel! I'm a stay-at-home mom turned small business owner that loves to create. Here I will share all the crafty knowledge I have learned along the way. I have a Cricut Explore Air 2, Silhouette Cameo and Siser Juliet. Some things I really enjoy are sublimation, DIY projects around the house and helping other craft business owners with their business.
Don't forget to subscribe! I'll try to post two videos per week, one of them being a live crafting session.

I’ve had good removal success with minimal residue, when using the VLR. After it penetrates, I used blue tape and it pulls big chunks of it straight up without smearing. Just dab and lift. See if that works for you. It’s faster and cleaner.
@TheCraftyBrick also, I have been having terrible issues with supacolor and have been going back and forth with supacolor to pinpoint the issue. Your video solved my problem. My heat press silicone pad was too hard, so I used a heat press pillow, and it solved the issue. I have perfect peels because of you. Thank you for your video.
I love your channel because you’re willing to show your mistakes or flaws and how you overcome them. In other words, you are raw and uncut -mistakes, bloopers and mishaps. Great channel!!
Oh thank you so much for being here and tuning in. I swear I struggle with wanting to edit out the mistakes but I leave them in because I KNOW I’m not the only one. It’s important to me that people don’t think things flow smoothly all the time😁
These manufacturers are ridiculous, $300 for ink? They are getting bad with special cartridges as well so You can't use compatibles either. HP pushed the limit with low ink warning where they automatically shut down your MFP, unless you buy ink when they tell you, you cannot use the machine including the ability to scan documents. Ridiculous! Basically, it's all about GREED!
Print manager is ending in February 2025 and printer will not acknowledge it. That’s why they are changing everything over to Print Mate. I’m glad you have left it to the individual. Phew . 🫣
Yeah that’s what I would recommend. I would be a little nervous. I’m gonna keep using it in my 500 and see how it goes but I’m gonna stick with sawgrass in my 1000z.
Thank You Courtney, I am out of ink in my Sawgrass SG1000 and I was waiting for your final review. I did not want to purchase the Hippo Ink and ruin my most expensive printer purchase. I will bite the bullet and forge on with the purchase of the Sawgrass Ink for my peace of mind. I was hoping you had found us a "cheaper" efficient was to replenish our inks, but I am not willing to take the chance. Thank You for looking out for us and I will continue to trust your reviews. THANK-YOU!!!
I knooooowwww I was SO hoping that I could recommend it. I’m gonna keep using it in my 500 and see how it goes. If I have no issues after using it for months then maybe I’ll change my recommendation. But for now, I’m sticking with sawgrass in my 1000
Courtney, I was pulling for you, so wanted it to work. I appreciate you experimenting for everyone that wants another option, that was so kind of you. I still have my converted Epson with Starcraft ink. I don't print much and still works fine. I'm leaning towards the Brother Sublimation Printer, any thoughts on that one? Thanks again Court! 😊
Hey Dee! I really was hoping I could save people some coins. But I would HATE for them to have to buy a new printer 😬. I haven’t tried the brother one but have heard great things about it from my crafty friends that have it.
Thanks for the info. I had problems after I changed my ink but I did use saw grass ink. Was getting black grid lines in everything I printed. Contacted saw grass and the issue was fixed but the first question that was asked was are you using saw grass ink.
Love seeing stuff like this on RU-vid we need more genuine creators instead thumbnail and spam and reaction people, a nice excited woman enjoying her wholesome activities and it actually seems sincere not all scripted
Well, with all that being said, I will say this, I bought the Sawgrass for ease of use and its simplicity. So, to keep me free from worry or problems down the line, I think I'd better stick to Sawgrass ink. Thank you for the honest review, Courtney. This came just in time cause it's almost time to refill!! 😳😫🤷🏾♀️
Yes me too, I have had to get the machine replaced and my bypass tray, for other reasons, not the ink but I’m scared to try other ink because if something happens again they won’t help me.
We all gotta start with what works best for us at any given time. Just in case you didn’t know, I was given this machine to create content. So there’s that 🤷🏽♀️. I’m sure you are able to make beautiful things with yours . That’s all that matters😁❤️.
