Custom self-inking stamps from Vistaprint!!

     Hi patrons!! I mentioned in my last post that I ordered a couple of stamps from Vistaprint, and I really wanted to share them with you guys! I decided to get a return address stamp, as well as a "do not bend" stamp that I'll be using for Patreon prints. I'm really hoping to open that tier for the start of next month!

Hi hi patrons!! Here is another early access to my next Youtube video, which will go live on Monday! I'm really happy with how this piece turned out and I'm glad I filmed the process of painting it ✨

Hi Patrons!! Here is early access to my upcoming Youtube video that I plan to go live either tomorrow or Tuesday.

Let's talk about using a Cricut!

     As I mentioned in my last post, I purchased a Cricut! It showed up a lot sooner than expected, so I've actually had it for about two weeks now.

Making Stickers!

I've actually been (extremely inconsistently) making stickers for almost a year! I originally bought some sticker paper off of Amazon and made my first set of stickers around December/January. I didn't touch the sticker paper between then and now, but I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with stickers recently!  While the option of getting stickers printed through a manufacturer saves a lot of time and stress, the profit margin from printing at home is significantly larger. G...

Hi patrons!! I thought it would be fun to have you guys vote on the subject of my next Youtube video - so here it is!

(and yes, the latter option is talking about my CATS! as in plural! :D)

Behind the Scenes: Baby's first prints!

Here is a glimpse at my very first "finished" prints! I have tried out a couple of different papers so far - both the Staples Ultra Premium Photo Paper (8.5"x11", matte, 230gsm) and the Canon Photo Paper Plus (5"x7", semi-gloss, 260gsm) and both are nice papers! 

The largest size I intend on making prints of, for the time being, are probably around 6"x9", so the Canon paper is ...
