Hi Allen! Thank you for your transparency. As the owner of a candle company myself, I appreciate your candor. So many makers share informative videos however, I have not seen any as transparent as you. That is very admirable and I commend you! I have watched several of your videos and it is refreshing to see a business owner and creator demonstrate such care and kindness towards others. Thanks again.
Hi Lua Light! Thank you for your comment and a warm welcome. I am glad that you enjoy these videos. Love and light always 💛🌱
Those glasses make you super cute! Love ‘em
thank you Ross!!
Great video, and very simple to follow, easy for anyone who has access to a computer and want to make their own labels.
aww thank you Michael!!!
You are a lifesaver! I have the same hp printer and was having issues with white streaking when printing my black labels. I was about to give up or buy another printer until you said in this video to change the settings to the specialty matte and best for quality. I have had this printer for a year and didn’t know those print settings even existed until your video. I printed my black labels and they look soooo professional matte black and no streaks! Thank you sooo very much for your help 🥰🤗
Hi Starr!! I’m so glad to hear this video was helpful to you. Those printer settings can make such a huge difference but once you know the ones to use for your labels, you’re set! Love and light 💛
Your label designs are absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
Amazing! Thank you so much, and yes to more like this ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow Allen, you make that look so easy..Thank you for sharing. Your labels are beautiful. Unfortunately electronics and I don't get along..lol
You can do it!
Great video! Thank you for sharing, and so informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent content! I’m at the labeling stage and this information is very helpful, Thank You Allen!!
hi Shelly! i'm so glad you found this video useful. love and light
Hello! That looks easy when you do it, lol!
Ha ha ha!! It’s honestly not too bad at all.
NNiceee!!! Can't wait to try ago at this!
Such great content in this video ... I've been using maestro but learned some great tips here about the package!
hi Cheryl! i'm so glad you learned some new tricks!! love and light
Thank you! This video was extremely helpful.
i am delighted it was useful to you, Tammey!
I love watching you and your videos you’re a very happy person and appreciate your tips and you’re great. I find it facilitating how you comes up with the names for your candles . Do you name your candles base on the fragrance?
aww thank you!! The name could be based on the fragrance notes but certainly is not always. I would encourage you to be creative and tailor your branding to both your tastes and your audience.
OH MY GOD LOVE LOVE LOVE
Glad you enjoyed!
I love your videos! Thank you for freely share your secrets to candle making. Can you tell me how do you cut your labels. I made labels and used a scan and cut machine. It’s very time consuming 🤦🏼♀️
Hi Darlene! I buy my labels precut from onlinelabels. I cut my dust covers with a Cricut. Love and light 💛🌱
Thank you so much for sharing and your videos are so amazing 🙂.
Aww thank you!!!💛 I’m glad you enjoyed. Love and light always. 💛🌱
This is so helpful. Thank you!
I’m so glad!! Love and light 💛🌱
Beautiful labels
Thank you!!!💛🌱
Hi! From Colorado 😊
I hope you find yourself well! I want to ask permission if I can use your label format for some of my tin candles? I just love how very professional they look. Thank you Lupe❤
hi there! You can absolutely take inspiration from my brand but i'd encourage you to be original!! it'll definitely be to your advantage.
@@earthglow thank you so much! I appreciate you responding every time I post a comment.
I love this video! Your designs are so beautiful. This and your fragrance reviews are my faves.
May I ask where you get your matte black labels from, and how you print them with gold lettering? Thanks in advance 🙏♥️
Hi there! I get those from Online Labels but they are white so it does take a lot of black ink/toner. The gold is just a color--not embossed or foiled.
@@earthglow Ohhhh … makes sense! I’ll stock up on some ink and give it a try :)
Thanks! 😃
You so read my mind. I was going to ask if you could do a tutorial.
aww i'm so glad!!!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely love your videos Allen! I don't know if it's just my computer/headphones but the sound only comes through one ear? It might be on my end though
Hi Laura!! Thank you for letting me know--I have not noticed anything on my end but definitely keep me posted. Was it just this video that did that for you?
@@earthglow Yes this video and the previous video where you made a new batch of 100+ candles. It's probably my end if no one else has said! Absolutely love the vids x
Ty so much, loved your videos. New to your channel.
Question you don’t have to put the size of candle per oz s, or grams.
Where it was made. I’m sure every place state is different, Happy Holidays
Hi there! Great question. Yes, in the USA this is mandatory. I include these elements on my custom warning labels.
Allen, do you have to pay the $29.99 a month or how to do buy pass that and purchase per item?
hi michele! yup, you pay that per month but you can cancel your membership anytime, so when you've got enough images for your collection, just cancel it.
@@earthglow awww gotcha ! Thank you so much ! 😊👻
How do you screen record, if you don't mind me asking?
Hi! Depends on your computer and programs you're using. For me, I just press windows, G, capture, and then record.
❤❤❤❤❤
Does your printer print on glossy labels without smudge? I've seen that be a problem with inkjet printers.
I only recommend matte labels for an inkjet because in my experience, gloss will smear. Hope this helps!
I use both inkjet and laser, depending on the desired result and product.
@@earthglow Oh alright, I will have to look into matte labels then. Thanks.
@@earthglow The printer that you linked to the HP ENVY 6055e, it prints matte labels just fine?
@@heathalbritton In my experience, yes. I use just the HP Envy 6055 (I’m not sure what the e is about but I don’t think I could find a link to the other one).
so whenever i go to print out my labels there is a white line that is on the top or bottom of my candle label. How do i fix that
That’s really strange! I honestly don’t know what you’d do for that!! I’d contact my printer manufacturers.
so what tins do you put these labels on
These are 8 oz tins 💛
I thought you were supposed to put the net weight on your labels
Yes, I put this on my warning labels. There’s a lot of information that is legally required to be on your candle. Love and light 💛🌱
You so cute thank you ❤
Aww thank you!!!💛 I’m glad you enjoyed. Love and light always. 💛🌱
Hi Allen
Hi Jamie!! :)
