Have you tried using a heat sealer? Great for all sorts of plastic bags (I use it to seal individual custom cookies in clear bags).
I haven’t tried it, I haven’t wanted to commit to having another tool like that when I wasn’t sure if I would use it all the time lol I’m sure it’s super handy though! Custom cookies sound so fun!! 😄
They’re so adorable! 🥹🫶
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi
Girl, you earned that rest, chill and decompress! Burn out sucks, been there❤
Thank you!! Yeah it does, next year will hopefully be calmer 😂 Make sure you’re taking the time to rest too! 💕
@@aspen_illustrates Let's hope 2025 is a good one! As for rest, I have a toddler, I can rest when he's a teenager😭
Omg, yeah that’s a ton of work!! I wish you and your family the best! 💗
These look amazing. ❤
Thank you so much! 🫶🏻
These look great!! What size are the bookmarks and the bags you put them in?
Thank you! I make mine 2x6” and the baggies are just slightly bigger, from Amazon!
@@aspen_illustrates thank you!! They fit together perfectly!
wait your a nail tech/sticker etc biz too!!! OMG twins!! hahah im a nurse also so three jobs but im trying to be full time nail tech/ stationery biz owner. want to be friends?!?!? :D ahah
Yes! Omg 3 jobs is a lot! Keep at it and you’ll be able to make it happen, good luck!! 😊
everything looks great!! how did you make the boards that hold your keychains im attempting to figure that out lol
Thank you!! I get my layout design printed on corrugated boards. But you can print your own design at home and attach it to foam board, it’s an inexpensive way to make them, that’s how I started!
Looks really cool
Looks good!
Thank you!! 😊
Glad to hear you had a great birthday! I was like ooops there's my name🤭 Will the mystery pack cats go on the website at some point? I love cats and gatcha so I need them all. 🤣 I bring your notebook with me everywhere and it receives compliments all the time! Also the nail art is so impressive. I can't even draw a straight line. The Beetlejuice ones are my favorite!
Thank you!!! I’m so happy you love the notebook!! 💗💗 Yes, I’ll be adding them in my November update! Hahaha thank youuuu!!! 💅🏼
glad to hear that your b'day was really enjoyable! your nail work was sooo good! wishing more success in future conventions!!
Aahh! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!! 🫶🏻✨
İ KNEW İT i knew your nail art was gonna be awesome 🫶🏻
Hahaha thank you so much!! I’m glad you like it!! 💅🏼🫶🏻✨
Love your setup! May I ask where you got your acrylic stand for your sticker sheets? The one that you assembled. Thank you in advance!
Hi!! Thank you so much!! I got those from Amazon, the brand I got is Dostatni!
aww im glad the kitty is okay and i just know that your nail art is gonna be fire 🫶🏻
Thank you sooo much!!! 💗✨🫶🏻
I love the green dinosaur mug, it's so darn cute! Also, wishing your little kitty a speedy recovery! The nail salon is looking great! That's going to be quite the balancing act doing that and your artwork😅
I’m glad you like it!! It’ll be in tomorrow’s shop update! Thank you, she’s doing much better now! It already has been challenging but I just need to get a routine down, things will settle for a bit after this upcoming convention and before the next one 😭😅 thank you so much for your kind words 💗
glad to hear the kitty is doing well, the con was a success and congrats on the launch of the nail business. i do wish your health well!!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot!! 💗
I was looking for something to watch while crocheting and I'm early! Can't wait! How is your kitty doing?
Yay!! What are you crocheting today? She’s doing sooo much better, thank you for asking! How’s your horse? 💗💗
@@aspen_illustrates I'm crocheting carnations for my market! He's doing well. 🥰 I have your shop update date on my calendar and signed up for your newsletter. I'll be at a market but I've been checking your website every couple of days in anticipation. Can't wait!!!🥰
Oooh I love carnations, that’s so cute! I’m glad he’s doing better! Aw you’re so sweet, thank you! I hope you do amazing at the market! Good luck ✨
Where did you purchase the containers for your keychains from?
They’re food storage containers from Amazon! They come in lots of sizes & are typically stackable. Might be able to find some at Home Goods too if you’re in the US!
@@aspen_illustrates the bin of drawers you had them all in with the stickers? If you can find them in your purchase history can you share the name since links don’t work in comments.
Ohh the drawers!! They’re sysmax containers. I got them on Amazon, they’re kinda pricey for what it is and I’ve gotten a couple that broke in transit. I have seen the drawers at home goods as well at like half the price of Amazon.
So cute
Thank youuuu 💗
What settings do you use to print on the vellum paper? mine keeps smudging :(
Mine actually smudges a bit too, but I made a file at like 200 dpi so there’s less ink being injected into the paper & that’s helped! I try to leave them out to dry for at least a day before using as well.
Sorry to hear about your cat! I totally get it. My horse just had to spend time up at the University getting MRI's and work done. Not fun!
Thank you. I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope everything goes well with your horse & you both feel better soon 💗
hope your cat heals well!! always look forward to your videos!
Thank you so much! That means a lot 😭💗
I am curios on how you get your sticker and keyring boards. Are they manufactured?
Hi! I talked about it in vlog #8, I got everything from the manufacturer I mentioned!
@@aspen_illustrates thanks ♡ I'll check it out soon! This is my second time watching a video of yours
I just found your channel a few days ago and i have binged your videos. 😁 Love your art and your process for everything. 💜 Keep it up. Also where do you get your sticker made? If you don't want to say that is fine i was just wondering. 😊
Yay!! Thank you so much!! I use a few different places for stickers but sticky brand for regular vinyl stickers is really good! (I’d steer clear of the holo/specialty ones) 💗💗
@@aspen_illustrates Thank you so much for the information. I'm trying to start my own online shop in October so I'm looking into places for manufacturers. 💜😊
@@LemonLimeCactus that’s amazing!! Good luck with your launch! 😊
@@aspen_illustrates Thank you. I'll let you know so you can check it out. 😃😃
I saw BT21 and clicked fast!
Ahh I love your art so much!! Such a lovely video, I can't wait to watch more 🤍
Thank you so much!! 😭💗
What/where is the acrylic bin you are using for your magnets?
I got them off of Amazon, I use a lot of kitchen organizers. Those ones are for tea bags!
Hope you slay! 👍🏼
Excited to see the convention video! I would also love a tutorial for your display boards, if you’re up for that.
Thank you! Sure, I’ll be making a couple new ones again soon for the next big con 😊
can't wait for the convention video! I hope it went well!!
I can’t wait to see your next video!
Hi Aspen! Just wanted to say it’s so great to see another faceless art vlogger! We uploaded our first vlog a few days ago, so I know how much effort it takes! I was already a subscriber from my personal account, but just subscribed here too 🤍
That’s amazing!! Thank you so much for watching! I subbed to you too, looking forward to more videos!! 😊✨
@@aspen_illustrates Aww thanks so much!! 🤍🤍
Ahh! Everything looks so lovely! 😍
Thank you so much!! 💗😭
im going off from a youtube hiatus and your art vlogs inspire me so much to do my own again!
Artist alleys are so exciting! I love your art style and your products are SUPER cute!! May I ask which brand of laminate you use for your stickers? They look so clear :O
Thank you!! I actually don’t make the stickers myself, I outsource them 😭
@aspen_illustrates oh I see!! No worries I was just wondering cause I'm struggling with finding a good laminate xD your stickers look gorgeous 💖
Thank you!! Unfortunately I don’t have experience with laminate, but I’ve seen a few artists use Avery self adhesive laminating sheets, they look pretty clear from what I’ve seen online. I know finding the right materials can be tricky, good luck!! 💗
Hello! I love your content and art, and I find your in-depth convention prepping videos really helpful. Could you please share how you keep track of the inventory you sell at these conventions? I'd like to learn more about the process so I can help my partner more efficiently with their booths. Thank you! <3efficiently help my partner with their booths! Thanks <3
Hi!! Thank you so much, I’m really glad to hear they’ve been helpful! Prep can be a pain but I’m trying to make the process as smooth as possible. I’ll show how I set up my sheets & take inventory in the next video, but I basically just take a count of what I’m taking before the con and after instead of during.
@@aspen_illustrates awesome that would be so helpful thank you!!
i looove everything dinosaur 🦕 and the mug is even cuter in green 😍
Thank you!!! Right??? I was nervous about the change, but I think it’s cute too😭💗
Omg I love the gravity falls sticker sheets!
Omg thank you!! I love that show too 😭💗✨
the dino mug has me screaming!! I need it! I always look forward to your videos and can't wait for the next one!
Aaaahh I’m happy to hear that, thank youuuuu!!! 💗😄
You're new products are absolutely gorgeous! Such a nice video!✨
That’s so sweet, I’m glad you like them! Thank you so much!!! 💗
I absolutely love the fox! 😍 SO stinking cute!! I can't wait for your next shop update to grab some stuff!
Aaaah thank you so much!! I’m working on it! 😊🫶🏻✨
Loving all your videos!! New sub 🖤
Aww yay!! Thank you so much 😊🫶🏻✨
Your backing cards are so simple yet so cute - love! Also, you should tell us your nail routine LOL.
Thank you so much!! I’m actually a licensed manicurist, what kind of tips are you looking for?
@@aspen_illustrates Hi! I'm a huge fan of press on nails but am in need of tips to keep my natural nails healthy in between sets. I try to give myself a week off with no nails and use jojoba oil on them but I feel like I'm still wrecking my nail beds! I use the sticky tabs too 😔
I would definitely recommend two thin coats of a base coat before applying the sticky tab. If they pop off while you’re wearing them, it would take the base coat with it rather than layers of your nail plate. Hopefully you’re removing the nails safely when you’re ready to take them off. If you don’t reuse the press on nails, I’d soak them in warm water, the jojoba oil and a little bit of acetone before you pry them off and then use pure acetone to remove the leftover base polish. It’s not really necessary to take a break in between unless you’re willing to wait until the damage completely grows out. Once the nail plate has damage, it can’t be repaired, you just need to wait.
@@aspen_illustrates Ah I've tried applying base coats before but it makes the nail pop off so much more quickly and easily - they barely last me two days compared to a week without the base coat. I supposed that's I need to get used to if I want my nails to make it through okay! I definitely try to safely remove them with a long soak in soapy water plus jojoba oil, though I think that's where most of the damage still comes from.
Hmm, bummer about the base. I don’t personally use press ons, so i don’t have a ton to recommend other than applying as you usually do to make them last and use pure acetone to do a proper soak off. It will ruin the tips, but using acetone will break down those tabs and do much less damage to your nails than prying them off. The warm water and oil just loosens them but it’ll still take layers of your nail off with it. If you do soak them with acetone, just cut the length of the tips down first so it’s not a total mess lol you can look up a gel polish soak off video which should help if you decide to do that
Your art is adorable!! <3
Aww thank you so much!! ✨🫶🏻
🍋 Let's go! looking forward to your prep video. I myself am trying to get my studio around so I get it
Yessss!! It’s coming soon! Ugh it’s so hard sometimes isn’t it? 😭 thank you so much for watching!! 🫶🏻✨

Same company as the rest of the items! 😊
