Building my art Brand ✿ a new studio (AGAIN?!) 🙈 packing a wholesale orders and product development 

the new studio would be amazing for you. Maybe bring back the Katnipp Cafe. Yes photograph studio, content and designing as well. I think it would be absolutely worth it also being close to all that machinery when you are trying to concentrate is hard not to mention the noise.

I completely agree on disliking the fast paced content. It gets dizzying! RU-vid slow vlogs are the best. ✨

That big mouse mat is brilliant. It would be great to see your characters all gaming together in a great big scene - my son would love it. 🤣

That second studio would be so good for you! I definitely think it would be worth the cost. Peace and space to create is so important

As someone who not only has an art business and works at my desk all the time, but also games, the larger mouse mat is perfect. The smaller size is one of the reasons I hadn't ordered a mouse mat, but I have been wanting one!!! Would love to see a gaming range or something as well

If you do sign up for Faire, could I suggest giving the option for no packaging on stickers and sticker sheets? I have a small gift shop and the way we display our stickers and sticker sheets, it's better when they come unpackaged and without backing cards. I always appreciate when vendors give the option for packaging or no packaging on items like those :) Excited to be able to order wholesale from you at some point!! ❤

i never realized how beautiful your eyes are until you were in the new studio cuz the lighting made your eyes shimmer omg stunning /gen

I’m so glad you do wholesale 😊 I’m starting a gardening subscription box soon and I’d love to offer your gardening planner stickers in the boxes too! Kate xx

Please consider a black background on the Halloween one, I love your style but it just doesn’t suit my aesthetic. To see your bright Halloween designs on black would be amazing

What about a stamp for the back of the notebook and notepads? It would be so much faster and less waste than the stickers on each one! Plus more cost efficient! You could get a custom one made in the flower shape with your logo inside and do pink ink!

Your view of the ocean and cliffs- what a lovely thing to see as you walk to work! Yes, slower content please! Life flies by too fast as it is! Congratulations on another new studio!

Yes the larger mouse mat would be fantastic ❤❤❤❤

Catherine, I think that perhaps Egbert could be a new Katnipp character!! Amiright? Also, the new studio is the perfect opportunity for a Katnipp Cafe v3!! How exciting for you 🎉🥳

What about a flower card for teachers, for back to school? :)

Think the second studio would be a great move in your expansion! Love the new hydrangea range too! You’re so talented! ❤❤

I’m so happy you’ll be doing Skillshare classes! You and Dean are so cute together ❤

I’ve followed since your second vlog - I went freelance at the same time and it’s been wonderful to follow your journey and watch your progress and the decisions you’ve made. It encouraged me to go for an office 2 years ago which was the best decision I could have made - I pivoted from graphic design and products into web design but I still watch weekly and I think a creative space where you can breathe away from the chaos will serve you well. 😊

Ohhhh I love the giant mats!!

I neeeeeeed the giant mouse mat!!! It's perfect as it allows larger gaming keyboards to fit as well as your mouse all in one whilst still being able to see the cute designs around the edges ❤🎉

Even without a skillshare class, Catherine you inspire us every day with your vlogs! Truly you do!

still shocked this is only the 2nd wholesale order. we need more katnipp in stores!

Oooo the new room would be great and would mean you could have the photography space permanently set up and also a talking head RU-vid space set up ready to go as well as your working desk 🎉

Seeing the success of Katnipp and watching you evolve is so inspiring! I would love to see Katnipp do a cute cow series one day 🤞💕💖🐮💕💖✨

so so happy for you. love seeing the growth and change. very inspiring. you work hard. you deserve the space to think and create.

Such exciting times for Katnipp!! 🩷

Yea a new studio! I can’t wait to see how you make it your own!!

Congratulations Kate on the new studio

Love the huge mouse mats! It would be so cool to incorporate all your other scenes together to make a little Katnipp village with all the different characters!

Oh my Gosh, I’m so glad you’re creating a Skillshare class. I would love a basic on Procreate. 💝

Love watching your studio vlogs. I would love the huge mouse mats!

oh my gosh i would absolutely LOVE to have one of the giant blue hydrangea mousemats!!!!

I do believe that the second studio is the right way forward for Katnipp. The larger cutting machines are taking up space! I think that having a quieter space set up to allow for your creativity to bloom (drawing, editing, creating social media and RU-vid content with minimal interference/distrations/noise is good for you! Bonus good thing is that if Dean or Mike need a quiet moment, they can just pop over and sit with a cuppa to relax. It'll save a lot of time wasted on setup/take down from each photo or video snippet you take too so overall a great opportunity!

I have the Sakura mat and I love its current size, fits my desk perfect. So I personally would stick with the smaller one, but the bigger size might allow for those with bigger desk spaces, or to maybe craft or work ontop of. I can't wait for the blue hydranga one it looks beautiful.

I'd love a desk top saver in that huge size for work. x

The larger blue hydrangea one would look perfect in my office! I have a bigger gaming style keyboard so the smaller size isn't a good a fit for me.

Katnipp in Skillshare! 👏I would love a character development drawing course from you!

Love they video as always. Try to do a preorder on the larger mats. That way you know how many to order of those when you place you normal order. 😊

The katnipp skillshare class is gonna be awesome! ✨💜

Every time I read "new studio" I get so excited!!😂❤❤

I think it would be a great idea to have the second office a good place for everyone to just chill out to get away from the noise a bit bring back the couch and stuff you had in that big studio could have meetings in there besides all the creative stuff :3

That yellow and pink stripey shirt is so cute! 😍

Girl you’re growing and I’m so happy for you❤

The second studio sounds like a plan - considering as it's right next door to your main studio. Kismet, I reckon!

I just ordered it! I'm really looking forward to receiving it🥰Collaborating with my husband is good🙆The big blue mouse mat is cute😍I'm looking forward to the new studio!

I wish you good luck on your decision making. On more space for you I mean the office 😄🐝 it’s nice to always dream big. 💛

This new space seems amazing for you, I really hope you'll be able to afford it ❤

I'm so excited for the next vlog 😊 the new studio will be perfect for you 🎉

I kind of wish you would come out with some sketchbook. I love sketchbooks.

love how your vlogs keep me totally engaged and invested every second until the end :) love the stationary packs - and the mouse mates and a 2nd studio - what a dream ! cannot wait to see how you set it all up ( if / when you go for it ) :) x

The big mouse pads is a great idea! Can they all the design have a big mat option? please.

Love your new baby cards, really cute. Have you thought of doing any for graduations, both boy and girl? The 2nd studio will be brilliant for you, and great for doing your filming content; plus you could have your Katnipp cafe back again. Another plus is that you will have more space for more stock in your current studio. The gaming mousemats are great. I would use one in my sewing room. Congrats on your skillshare class. Have a great week.🙂

You're so inspiring! ❤️

2nd studio space for a quieter environment is a great idea and l love the larger mouse mats

I love to see you grow and work on new ideas and find new space.

So exciting! I hope the katnippccafe can make a comeback hehehe 🐝

Im not an OG but heard your storys of it. I see the mat and the house and 1st thing that come to mind was that little "house" you used to have set up for your area to work. very cute

Love the new mouse mat, I just got a new hydrangea tattoo!

Can’t wait to watch your skill share!!

That is a huge mouse mat, sooo cute though!

Can I just say how cute those storks are! Definitely go for it with the new studio, the lack of background noise will be worth it alone + you have room to grow 👌exciting times!

I want the big mouse mat with Bumblebutt on it! I've been wanting a big one for a while, but couldn't find one big enough and with a good design.

Yesssss to the larger mouse mat! I love having desk mats to cover my work space so this would be perfect! I hope you go with the new studio, you seem to always have trouble finding your perfect work space in the ever shrinking studio!

I've been here since the two little rooms ✨

Hi Catherine, have you ever show your journey as an artist?

I loved the mystery sticker packs from last time. There is so much joy in the products you create. Much love to all the Katnipp team!

The new room seems a little smaller than current one and will be perfect to separate office and work space , that way you will have and space for more growth . If you move all desks ( leave the packing tables and computers with them where they are ) over you will have room to put more shelves for storage for all the products .

You need to make lines notebooks that would be so amazing 🫢😍

Great news on selling your scraps - I definitely will want some. Maybe you can offer two bundle types: Rough Cut and Square Cut - I often need odd shapes so I would be happy to receive pieces that are just roughly cropped, rather than having them being cropped and squared up. I would love to see a skill share class on illustrating with Procreate or illustrator - I would sign up for that, definitely. 👍🙂

Will you let us know when your Skillshare class is live? I’m so excited to watch it! ❤

We just found you a few weeks ago, and we have really enjoyed watching your vlogs and insiders view or running an illustration business, look forward to the skillshare.

Great vlog , love the new hydrangeas mat ! I can’t make my mind up as to which one I want to buy lol !

Katnipp studio’s looks like so much fun. What a dream life.

I was able to claim one of the free month trails. Thank you so much! I'm excited to take my skills to a new level, and learn some new ones. When you upload your classes, will they be searchable under Katnipp, or your name? Also, a new studio would be great. Having more space to move around would really help the creative flow for your videos and photography. And definitely larger mats!

Hey Catherine, I CANNOT wait for the launch of your Blue Hydrangea range!! I'd be BUZZIN if you released the giant version of the mousemat!! It looks STUNNING!! As soon as you showed it to us I knew I NEEDED this on my desk as Hydrangeas are my absolute favourite flowers/ shrubs 🥰😍😍🥰

Ps would love the huge mousemat in the Sakura range

Definitely think that the 2nd studio would be a game changer for you to give you the extra space that you need after Ronnie's arrival ! The new cards look great and I hope they go well for you , I loved receiving my mystery sticker pack - such a great idea, I tried so hard not to damage the cute sticker on the front too !❤

Larger mousemat is essentially a desk pad! Great size

YES a larger mouse mat! ive been wanting to order a mouse mat but i have a large gaming keyboard and set up and thought the smaller (current) mousemats might be a little small for my space, I would 100% order a larger one if you offered it! maybe ever 2 or 3 to swap out every few months ^>^

Unfortunatly im sick at home with covid (pls be care full everyone) but that made me realize that I found you only 4 years ago. And im so glad I did!

In honestly The back ground noise is like white noise it adds character and shows how running a small buiness can be and things you have to deal with. But I get that you want some you area so you can concentate fully Buttttt Will the lighting work?? Also Stickers are stunning Sending big hugs to all the team

It’s fun to see your business develop and grow. You still have the small business charm. A couple of years ago I mentioned I designed a dress for a mouse based on your nails that were sage green with daisies. I like my original design better, but my employer wanted the same design , but in blue. Sooooo, the final design is out, a mouse watering her garden with a bird house too. Wee Forest Folk.

yeeeeii!! its time for a new studio move!!! hahaha love this so so so much!!

Dont mind me adding my comments as I watch the vlog... I LOVE the apparel! Which brand of shirt is that bc I am so picky with the shirts I wear and I love them really soft. I love the jumper too!! The new greeting cards are super cute!

Your vlogs always put me in such a good mood 🥰🌸🌸🌸

Lovely along the prom first thing of a morning 👍 ... I'm sure your just working your way round every room in the building 😄👍

Fabulous! I loved this vlog so much. Yes, get the second studio. It will pay off itself as you create more content. Plus you'll have more space to do your things. I keep telling you, you will have your own building, remember that in the future when you have it. And yes to the giant mouse pad. You're creating an amazing company! Keep moving forward, you're doing great! 🤗

I loved the mystery sticker pack I got, it actually had a sticker I’d forgotten to add to my basket! So I was thrilled with my order! 😊 Kate xx

oh my gosh if the autumn collection mousemats come in the giant size I am going to be ALL OVER IT!!!!

1st ever #Katnipp #Skillshare class??! - omg, I'm in! { Catherine, we need that link asap! }

A new studio would be so helpful! I can imagine it must feel so much better to not have all the noise. Honestly I often have to close oit of your videos because I am too sensitive to alot of background noise. But in the end, do what makes you happy! 🥰

Absolutley love the big mouse mat I would definatley buy one. I have quite a big desk and the larger size would be perfect. xxx

i love watching these vlogs :)

I loved all your products and I know you do so much already but would you ever come out with a planner with all your characters?

This was nostalgic!! Hahaha. The opening trailer and I started laughing, “ahhhh I waiting to see if it was new room time”.. I was thinking with the manufacturing addition that it would be a consideration. Would be really cool to see a studio and manufacturing split. You could have suchhhhh a cute studio side too. A green screen/stage area for other filming, cute pink sound panels, RGB lighting.. so many cute possibilities! The super large mat is great idea for desk mat!! ❤

This is Amazing!!! I’ve loved every studio and will continue to do so, your growing annually and that’s a blessing’ congratulations 🎉 here from the beginning queen ❤

So excited about the Skillshare class! I will definitely be joining that one, and hopefully lots more. 😊

I have been here since your second video. Your videos always cheer me up. It feels like catching up with a friend. Thanks for sharing!

First of all, I want to say that whenever I get your new video notifications, I feel happy and excited to see what's new with you and your buisness...I have been here since you were in thar smaller space with all your cricuts. Seriously, in my crazy life, your videos make me feel calm and burns inspiration in my soul. I also want to say, you were stunning before and absolutely stunning today!!! Oh my goodness!!!! Today us the 4th if July here and we will have a get together later thusbevening, which means I have to clean up!!! I will be binging on your videos to get me through the task!!!!!

You are doing so well ❤

💙THANK YOU Catherine for this amazing 30-min vlog! = it's so *juicy*! ( fun, creative, interesting & inspiring ) This is the version I like best = 💖👍 ( those 20-min episodes are wayy too short but I understand it takes time to edit them etc ) but in the end, the more #Katnipp stories, the better!😏 I *really* appreciate it💐🤗
