Catherine you have gotten so ELITE with your vlogs!! I love all your editing. I always look forward to your vlogs - you are definitely my comfort creator 🤍
My order arrived and it was SO PERFECT! The desk mat is AMAZING! Big and the colors are so beautiful. I ordered Gingie and Spice pins. I put the Gingie on my husbands winter jacket without telling him. Hahahaha. And the Spice is on mine. What a funny moment when he discovered it! We look so cute with our pins on our hearts. Finally, the stickers sheets were not a disappointment. I feel like I can't use them, though. But I will :) Thank you so much for your beautiful art and these super fun videos! You're a small biz inspiration to so many!
oh WOWWWW Anne thank you so so so much for taking the time to not only leave the comment but support us! this actually means so much! I am happy you like them heeheh the gingie and spice pins are adorable ammirite heheheh, Who did your order? Did you get a package by label on it 😍 Im happy it arrived quickl;y hehe
I already loved Bumblebutt... Gingie and Spice are adorable! And Marshie! The 'school jumper' colour looked gorgeous on you! And.. when worlds collide! I am a big fan of AIJ too! 💕
I always do that thing of filming and then screenshotting the frames I need from the video 😅 it came to my mind long ago to have nice shots of my dogs that stays rarely still when I want to take pictures of her 😂❤️
I can only imagine how gorgeous it must be to turn up to your place of work every day, surrounded by cute pretty adorable things..... dreamy! Love your vlogs x
Aaaa I hope I can buy one of those cinnamon mugs soon it’s so cute! Would you ever look into doing travel mugs? Just imagining a coffee in a cute little cinnamon flask 🥺💖 or a bumblebutt one ❤
Social media puts so much pressure on shop launches. I appreciate everything you post. How are you liking The Witches of Scotland series? Reading it now.
I agree! Also I loved the book! I think it was even better because I had actually been to the places like Dornoch! I finished most of it though in Edinburgh on the final night and I wish I read more before going to Dornoch so I could have really imagined it and visited Janet Horns gravestone lol 😂 but never mind! I think it was a great autumnal read how are you finding it?
Bless you with the ironing board I don't even have one yet I have an iron. 🤷♀️ I only use a hand steamer. Maybe I need a cupboard cleanout, who knows what I'll find.
😮😬😬😅 Omgosh don’t curse me like this ehehhehehe 😂 imagine, that’s happened to me on the DAY I went on holiday, I got them freshly done, and two days later packed my suitcase to go to the airport and it pinged off 🥲💅
The plushies are so adorableeee. Catherine for spice 2.0 could you please place the key ring behind the bow so the adorable bow is more visible on spice 🥹♥️♥️
I am really, really thankful for your vlogs and you showing all your hard work and don't romantisize everything. It is a hard job having your own business and your working so much, until midnight and so on to get things done...I always think: is she always working? But truth be told if you are on your own (meaning having your own business) you have to put in A LOT of work. Thanks as always!
I made my 1st order in your xmas shop launch and it was so hard. I was scrolling through thinking, oh look at this, oh look at that. Watching all the vlogs as your creations evolve has been to wonderful, and going onto your store to purchase was so overwhelming - I wanted so much, anyway I finally decided andI I will go back when I have cash and buy for me and not others. Watching your vlog, I saw Bluey in the background. Did you know that you can get Bluey crocs? Just in case you were interested...City beach Australia is the store. Wishing you the best for 2025...you inspire me💗
Omgoshhhhh thank you so so so much! What did you end up picking up?! I packed a bunch of Australian orders the other day I wonder if one of them was yours?! 😮❤ hehehe you’ll have to let me know who packed it! I hope everything arrives okay! 🥹🌷🌷🌷🥹
Good luck in Hokkaido in January! I’m excited for more Japan vlogs! But be warned, Japan’s winters are no joke even in places like Osaka which are further south🥶, even colder than Iceland in the winter ❄️
I would love a bumblebutt bag charm, except without the stuffing and a zipper so that I had something to stash my wireless earphones in with some spare change.
lol hubby thought Ginge looked like a fuzzy duck in the thumbnail 😝🥰 (and now its all i can see lol) 5:17 you could replace all the balls in a ball pit with the plushies!!😄🥰
Love the video and yes plushies are lovely 😊 love Mike's comment and the Iron. The jumpers are cute. My youngest daughter drives me made as that's exactly what she has done by putting her thumbs through her jumper and Iwent who has taught her that? Dean let the cat out the bag😂 Secondary school clothing is not cheap at all especially at the end stage Yr11 leading up to Sixth form I'm like something out the exorcist at times😂😂😂 because it jumper after jumper so she has been warned her first paycheck which comes from me anyway next year goes for my counselling 😂😂😂 but all in all it's a good vlog as usual. ❤
I love the sweatshirt of cinnamon and the colour you used to wear for school so lovely I’ll have to get one 👀 ❤ xxx I love all the new and old Christmas stuff! I’m waiting to get all my Christmas Katnipp goodies and then will post a video or photos of them have some already and love them to bits ahhh 🫨❤ xxx also love your bags in all your videos mind if I ask where u get them from? 😂 xxx keep up the amazing work girl remember not to stress yourself out though I know u already know that 🥰😍 xxx
Oh my gosh thank you so so so much! N 🌷🌷🌷🥹🥹 I’m so happy you like your goodies so far! Please let me know what you think of the rest! Heheh the bags are from a mix of places lol like eBay, one is from the charity shop the others are tkmaxx 😂🤣🤣
I love everything you do! Can those die-cut stickers go closer together? How far apart do they have to be? That is a beautiful machine, however it wastes alot of paper? Please fill us in on that. Thanks Caroline, btw: Have an AMAZING HOLIDAY! 💖💖💜
As far as I know, they were so far apart because it is a test print. In the proper production it‘s less wasteful and I think Catherine offers packets of the scrap vinyl for a really low price in her shop because they‘re still good to use for smaller projects on smaller cutting machines like the Cricut. 😊
Yes! That’s right they are so far apart just while we test them! We save all the vinyl and bundle it up to sell, the sides however do waste a lot of vinyl because the rollers need something to clamp on but we can normally get them pretty close together! 🌷🌷🌷
We use the neewer lights you can get on Amazon! I like these cause some of them can be battery operated which is very handy for moving around the studio and filming! 🌷✨ I keep a spare set of batteries always on charge in case it dies!
Another great launch ! Love that cranberry / purple colored sweatshirt….also seems like there is a lot of paper waste on the die cuts you were cutting on the Roland….. that is a shame.
We did previously sell vinyl scrap packs with off cuts that people can use with circuits etc, we haven’t had time to make any recently but we will be going back to making them after the busy period, all big vinyl cutter/printers have this waste I’m afraid :) x
These were also test prints too! So we usually get a lot more without the massive gap! But still we do get a lot of waste, we like to save them like Dean said hehehe 🌷🌷🌷🤞
Always love your vlogs, do you mind me asking what you were leaning on while working on the sofa? I have a chronic illness and have been wanting to get something like that!
@@KatnippStudios ohh I'm sorry! To be honest, it's non of my business if you are actually! 🙈 I indeed thought it maybe was a hint for us followers. As a note on this lovely video, I really enjoyed it and also seeing allll the new products!

what lights do you use? my office has awful light and i was planning on investing in softbox lights
We use the neewer lights you can get on Amazon! I like these cause some of them can be battery operated which is very handy for moving around the studio and filming! 🌷✨ I keep a spare set of batteries always on charge in case it dies!

Hi can I ask where is your pink bag from please ❤?
Of course I got this off eBay! 😂😂✨🥹
Catherine! Without wanting to be creepy.. where in Austria are you going to? :) *me hoping to randomly bump into you while at the xmas markets*

If your nails beds and fingers are sore take a break from nail art for a bit
She could use press on nails (are they called like this?) just for taking photos.
I think it’s cause I bit them all off lol 😂 and ripped a lot of the nail bed lol 🥲🥲🫠
