You're amazing for sharing this video!! Very helpful jewels I can use on my journey. Keep on grinding!!

[@kimberlylumpkin6559]

I just started I’m doing quotes & decals, never thought about names… I like your videos.. thanks

[@eastcoastbingo9593]

Yesss, I’m looking to not start a decal business but incorporate decals in my business and learning to do it myself. So thank you for your channel.

[@fummioh2139]

Thank you for not gatekeeping your knowledge on this subject

[@anitaulmer]

You just gave me the best idea for all of this adhesive vinyl that I have. It's not my fav to work with but at least I'll be able to get rid of it and make a few dollars along the way. 😁

[@Ore_sama88]

Thank you so much for making this video, this was beyond helpful. 🥰

[@DefinedByAlex]

Hey! I’m so glad you found it helpful!

[@tonyrome068]

[@DefinedByAlex]

☺️

[@earth_spirit_studio]

Very helpful tips. Thank you ❤

[@gregsrun34]

Top tips on the packing, I always thought it made a huge difference but suppose it depends what you sell, if it’s soaps and smells you wnat to sell the experience but with a decal, for me anyway, you just wnat to get the sticker out and apply it!

[@shotsandbeerscandleco]

Love the colors and the front. I do like my cameo over my cricut but I have a crafting problem. So I’ll buy a cutting machine in a heart beat. 😂

[@DefinedByAlex]

lol...

[@insanerecordsllc]

Great video thanks

[@DefinedByAlex]

No problem 👍

[@SaQueena-oo8ib]

I would like to know if you do signs 5 feet x 1 1/2 that says hookah.. something like this font

[@prettyrichgirl2007]

Nice...

[@lynforddonivan6549]

Yes can make the decal… however yes you sell them . Problem for me been the transfer of the decal by the customer … usually never works after you ship it !
Tried like 5 different products and no
luck. It a hit and miss get ready for returns! Any ideas let me know!

[@jazmanjazyprintsboyd1705]

Cameo girl here 😌. I have both machines tho Cameo and Cricut

[@khylapeck9356]

Do you have an advice link or anything how to get started having an at home business?? I would appreciate it love your content

[@DefinedByAlex]

I have videos referring to starting an at home t-shirt business on my channel. Not a general video

[@FUNNYMANERICWHITE]

Thanks

[@E46jose]

What laptop do you have?

[@jasminefoster6021]

Does it matter what silhouette cameo you use? Do they all do the same thing?

[@DefinedByAlex]

Nope it doesn’t matter. All you’re doing is cutting

[@savatiaharmonies]

Am selling mine cheaper than market price if you'd like. It's brand new, it was just so hard for me to figure out so I'll sell.

[@SaQueena-oo8ib]

Honey double trim

[@TonyV_in_the_OC]

I like the Guillotine idea, but the one you were using barely fit your fingers, much less your hand. I’d like to better understand what items are most important in the process and most used. Those are the items I’d insist be “buy once, cry once” critical things. How about starting with a high quality cutting mat, steel edge rulers and sharp, like Olfa brand, knives? The guillotine looked 95% plastic and so small, it was moving and appeared to be something critical in the process. Id start getting hand cramps after a few cuts. What others have you tried and found of quality for a piece to buy once and cry once?

[@kingdon9690]

I need a printer so I can do more than just basic decals

[@tbooverse]

I'm guessing I can't use a tablet to substitute the laptop or computer? 🤨

[@DefinedByAlex]

I’ve never tried it so you should test that out

[@kristin.m.evans05]

I only have a circut 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@DefinedByAlex]

I’ve never used cricut. I started to buy one but I’ve always had the cameo 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@meganoquinn4510]

I'm a Cricut user as well. It's the same as the Cameo, the design system just looks a little different.

[@genesisfootball1542]

Why side huddle? Can’t this be a full time gig?

[@DefinedByAlex]

Absolutely, anything can be full time if you intend for it to be that way

[@genesisfootball1542]

@@DefinedByAlex is Vinyl expensive?

[@DefinedByAlex]

@@genesisfootball1542 no it isn’t

[@genesisfootball1542]

@@DefinedByAlex last question - where do you buy good quality Vinyl? :)

[@dreamzzzooentertainment]

You do seem like if you get mad you a lil crazy! Maybe a lil aggressive but your femininity balances your masculinity ❤

[@DefinedByAlex]

I’m gonna take that as a compliment

[@dreamzzzooentertainment]

@@DefinedByAlex Thank you Alex because it is. Good to see a woman who is balanced and REAL! You seem to be in touch with yourself in an era where women are lost and superficial. Kudos to you 🫡

[@shotsandbeerscandleco]

Your weird.

[@allywilkeforsenate]

Anyone who thinks like that has some issues.

[@biggrime]

I disagree. masculine in a woman is not good. I do not get masculine energy here. Thank goodness

[@savatiaharmonies]

@definedbyalex I am selling my cameo coz I couldn't figure out how to cut.

[@DefinedByAlex]

Oh I’m sorry to hear that…you should try again
