Let's get ready for my April launch by doing a huge restock for my small business! In this vlog I'll be slowing getting back into working after my small break by opening and setting up my new Epson eco tank printer, reorganising my work space and designing new products for my small business.

Well sence uve asked. I feel like I haven't done much for my buisness lately, but it's because I'm not making products. I'm trying to learn to be kind to myself. I switched video editors, was teaching myself animation, and learning how to make my art look better. So I'm learning a lot instead of producing merch. I have a full time job as well. I cant wait to leave it but I have a long way to go. I'm trying to think of it as shoring up my foundation. I'm glad ur well enjoy the new printer. I'm a bit behind but binging to catch up.

Pink definitely works better. It allows you blue cup/laptop to pop vs with the blue it all blends

Glad you agree!☺

Regular office paper is totally fine since people expect to write on it. Anything uncoated is important for writing on! Since you're printing at size, you don't need it, but if you plan on making smaller sizes or trimming off lots of bleed in the future, consider getting a stack cutter! I used to make notepads, homemade stapled journals, bookbinding work, and stack cutters saved me a lot of heartache. They come with their own set of challenges, though, and they're HEAVY.

@AbiNova 3 месяца назад

Definitely going to look into them! but I thought I'd try it my guillotine first and see how I manage with that before spending more money ahah thanks for the recommendation"

@haebollago 3 месяца назад

I think office paper or "normal" paper is actually better for notepads! photopaper sometimes isn't really ideal for writing on with different pens (some pens end up smudging or don't stay on the paper nicely), so I think office paper really is the standard for notepads :>

@AbiNova 3 месяца назад

Yeah definitely! I'm just so used to using photo paper for everything that I didn't even think about office paper aha!

The stickers are so cute! I think a great idea for text is to make a font out of your own handwriting, it makes text look much more natural and unique!

Apenas illustrator does her notepads by herself. She also did a tutorial on it.

@shirleyf21916 3 месяца назад

awesome to see you venture out into making new notepads!! i'm sure they'll turn out cute like your other items 😊

@caraleighb 3 месяца назад

That is SO satisfying that they fit on top of those drawers.

@CozyCatArt 3 месяца назад

Ooo this is interesting! I can’t wait for the notepad diy!

@CosmicCatCreation 3 месяца назад

Making notepads and books at home can be really fun! I recently found a binder machine at a thrift shop, with three different sizes for the spiral binding, and I am so excited to try it out.

@LucyLocksArt 3 месяца назад

you have inspired me to embark on my own sublimation journey! Exciting to see you venture into notepad making, I look forward to seeing more!

@SprinklySparklyGifts 3 месяца назад

Great to see you back Abi and I love your new sticker I like the pink rather than the blue it stands out more great job x

@creatingbee7722 3 месяца назад

I have juste found your channel last week, and binge watched all your videos 😅 I love how you're not afraid of showing every side of a small business! I also just picked my Etsy shop back up, and I hope to stay consistent with it to make it grow. I am a full time teacher, but I hope I can still manage to make it grow into something 🤷‍♀️ Keep it up! 😁

@AbiNova 3 месяца назад

Aw! I'm so glad you like my videos! thanks for the support! ☺

@louspheres5764 3 месяца назад

girlll your make up looking at its best !! you look so pretty with a bold lip and eyelinerwings

@AngelicscalliwagsArt 3 месяца назад

I'm looking forward to seeing how you do with the homemade notepads - that's definitely something I'd like to do but I think I'd need a much better paper cutter than I have right now and that runs into the £100s. Glad to see you're back well rested! 🧡

@paperinkstamp 3 месяца назад

Regarding making your pads, so I make and sell paper pads for paper crafting and I use the Koala double sided Matte paper which is really good £12 for 100 sheets and I am able to launch a desk pad which I am making myself (I didn’t buy an actual tool kit, I got two pieces of wood and some wood clamps, closet me next to nothing) but the paper I am using for that is the navigator 100gsm paper £10 for 500 sheets. My pads are designed to mess on and through away so I agree the paper doesn’t need to be the best in the world. But I found that the 100gsm makes it feel less cheap than 80gsm. Hope that helps 😊 also I have a canon version ecotank and I bought that so I didn’t have to outsource any printing or products because I have a small business and not enough income to cover massive manufacturing costs 😊

Have you ever thought of making everything yourself like the planners then binding them yourself just to save money ?

@craigdouglis4515 Месяц назад

sorry wrote this before continuing to watch your video i see you're looking into that

@Rita-ib6on 3 месяца назад

Also I love using 120gsm paper for notepads/notebooks

@ChantelleArts 3 месяца назад

This is fantastic, so gorgeous ☺☺☺

@WhiskeredNightfall 3 месяца назад

Regular office paper in like 100-130g/m^2 uncoated would be great for notepads

@KLHFM 3 месяца назад

aah Sookie is so cute ! ~

@idrisgrey 3 месяца назад

Hey Abi, cool video. Have you considered selling your planners as printables on Etsy first to determine demand and then branch out to printing on demand upon request?

@AbiNova 3 месяца назад

Yes! I plan to launch them as digital downloads as well as physical products!

@sukeyd.artist 3 месяца назад

I'm curious does it depend on the type of paper you're using for the prints to last long? Because I've tried many times on different papers and all of them faded the artwork in just a few weeks. Or does it depend on the ink and printer. I use a canon printer and I've printed like 14 things and my ink is done already and it hasn't even been a month yet. 😂

@joannementor5943 3 месяца назад

why are you so negative about everything you have no faith in anything at no time then leave the business to people who don't mind taking a chance you really upset me all the time stop posting

@jetv6775 3 месяца назад

How about don't comment at all if she upsets you all the time!!! and then telling her to stop posting....rude much!! how about you stop commenting negative stuff on here and just stop watching if it's so bad that you get upset 😂😂😂

@Aerieana 3 месяца назад

She isn't negative about everything though, and small biz isn't all rainbows. If her videos annoy you that much, just don't watch? instead of leaving a rude comment. Please do NOT stop posting, Abi. I love that you make studio vlogs that show both the ups and downs, it's so much more relatable to others who are only just starting their small business journey.

@idrisgrey 3 месяца назад

No one is forcing you to watch. You are here of your own volition and can stop watching anytime. Leave Abi alone and go find someone else who meets your very specific needs. She's doing just fine.

@Uniyou0459 3 месяца назад

I think your misinterpreting her, she is simply sharing the struggles of her business. If she is not your cup of tea, that’s ok- move on. But no use ruining anyone’s day over it. Trust me that this is completely passion fuelling her because no one would be as committed unless they had a goal or passion in the end.

@SedNobisCosplay 3 месяца назад

May I ask how you got the printer to print without a white border. Been trying to find it on mine but with no luck 🥲

@AbiNova 3 месяца назад

I go into the settings before I press print and tick the "borderless" box. If you've already tried that then I'm not sure what it could be. but I hoped it helped!
