Watching you prep your Etsy orders is both therapeutic AND inspirational! You do such great work and are so well organized (which is exactly what I am striving for when I finally get my business venture up and running 😆)! Thank you much for sharing your journey!
Hi Dana! Yes I definitely plan to do a video on that soon! I use Canva for all of my shop graphics! It’s so easy to do on there! Thank you for watching my videos! ❤️
Thank you so much! Yes, I do! I typically use each foam brush twice and then I'll trash it! I just rinse them off after the first use and then let them air dry.
Thank you for a great video! I really enjoy the work with me videos! It's neat to see how you do things and it's nice and relaxing to have on in the background while I work as well! Thanks again!
Your channel came up on my feed. This is why I order from Etsy instead of making an item because that’s a lot of work. It was sure interesting to watch. You have an awesome product. Thx&see ya😁
It’s so satisfying to watch working !!! Really good job ! Do you seal your acrylic topper cake ? If that’s the case what kind of sealer do you use ? For paint ? Love from France ❤
I cut the parchment paper down to the same size as the round. For instance, for the 4 inch rounds, I will cut a 4x4 inch piece of parchment paper! ❤️ Amazon! here is the link! amzn.to/3HBqx1U
Hi! I use Oracal vinyl! I have it linked in the description box if you want to see the exact one! As far as the cut settings.. I always use the "premium outdoor vinyl" setting! Thank you for watching!❤️
Hey Cassie! What a wonderful video, I've always been curious to see what goes on in the background of an Etsy shop. I would love to see a video showing the business side of things. Have you ever broken down the costs of material and labour? What are the actual profits like in the end, if you were to convert it to a per hour salary for example? I hope that's not inappropriate. Thanks for sharing, your work is beautiful and I appreciate the attention to detail. All the best.
Great video and beautiful work!!! I am a 71 yr old grandma trying to learn my Cricut and the Design Space. Could you tell me what your best sellers are? I am interested in learning how to do the things that wouldn't be hard for me to ship because of health issues. Thank you for your response.
Hi Cassie, beautiful work! Thank you for the video and a look into how you run your store. May the Lord grow your business over the coming years; God Bless
Cassie! You are being my inspiration. Thank you for posting these videos. I would like to see you making bookmarks, I saw a rose gold on your Instagram couple days ago. So nice!
Gabriela, thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos and getting some inspiration! Ok, I will definitely film me making one of those next time I get an order for it! You’re the best! 💗
Hello! Loved watching your video. Can I ask, how do you get the paint so smooth on your acrylic blanks? I am always left with steaky marks when held up to the sun. Is there a way to avoid this? Thanks :)
Hello! Thank you! I actually am going to talk about this in my next video! Definitely use a thicker paint or paint multiple coats (letting each coat dry in between). I use Valspar paint and it's been the best for getting the opaque look to my acrylics!
This video is awesome! Thank you for sharing! What fabric cloth are you using to wipe the 1-12 month acrylics? And what do you use when you put something between each disc? I’ve been trying to figure that out. Also, do you seal the paint with anything? I’ve been using acrylic paint but do you recommend anything else?
Thank you! The fabric cloth is a microfiber cloth! Here is the link to the ones I get amzn.to/3J6plle The paper I put between the milestones is parchment paper. Yes, I seal with Polycrylic! I love Folkart acrylic paint and Valspar paint!
Love your videos. I have a question for you. Would you seal permanent vinyl letters on a marble coaster? If so, which sealant would work best? Thank you.
Hi! Thank you! You do not have to seal vinyl! It is best not to cover it with any type of sealant! I have seen people use mod podge but I have never tried it myself! I hope this helps! ❤️
How do you prevent the paint from coming off the acrylic? If it's bumped for example. Did you put a clear vinyl over it or seal them? I didn't see that part on the video. Just curious, thank you :)
How do you get the names for the custom orders? Do they email you their order number and the name they want. I’m trying to do custom stuff on my Etsy with names but am having trouble
Hello! I know exactly what you mean! That drives me crazy too! Try doing another coat of paint. Or adding a thicker layer of paint if that makes sense. Also, the type of paint you use is crucial too. I’ve found that thinner paints are so hard to work with. Try using a thicker paint if possible! I hope this helps! ❤️
I’ve been searching for a looong time for the information that you provided in this one video! I am starting my business soon after I practice and get better with my Cricut. THANK YOU! Just subbed 💓
Hi Shirley! Thank you! I use several different fonts in this video, is there a specific one that you'd like to know about? I get all of my fonts from Creative Fabrica (linked in the description box of all my videos) if you'd like to check them out! Thank you for watching! ❤️
Hi Cassie! Your video is very inspiring. I fell in love with the font from your milestone cards (Adelia) and even purchased access to Creative Fabrica from the link under your video so I could download that font to my computer. There are unfortunately several fonts with that name on Creative Fabrica, is yours the one by Artkenza creator? It seems to be the closest, but the letters like g or v for example are not as in your video. Unfortunately I don't see a link to this font in the video description. Could you please let me know who created this font? I would be very grateful for your help! Thank you!
Hi Kasia! Thank you so much! I just went and looked and I don't think they have it on Creative Fabrica anymore! Here is the link for it on DaFont.com www.dafont.com/adelia-3.font I hope this helps! ❤️
Hi! Im so happy I came across your page! I'm taking up my acrylic signs business and your videos/tutoriañs/advice are so helpful! Thank you ☺️🙏🏻 I just have a question...after you paint the acrylic, do you seal them with anything?? I was thinking mod podge but I don't know if it's actually necessary and if that'll keep the paint from scratching or peeling off...also, do you just wipe the paint off if you don't like how it looks or you make a mistake?? Again, thank you for your videos, I hope to have a nice little business like you one day 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much! You are so kind Elena! ❤️ I do seal with Polycrylic! Yes, if I make a mistake I will use a soft paper towel to gently wipe off the paint as soon as possible and then repaint!
Hi! The font for the word Bride is called HANDITA and the fonts for the monthly milestones are LOVES and ADELIA. I get them from Creative Fabrica. I have a link for them in the description box of this video!
Hi Pina! I am currently not accepting new orders but will be very soon! If you'd like to email me what you have in mind for your wedding along with your wedding date, we can discuss more details! My email is CassieCouncil@gmail.com ❤️
Hi Cassie - glad I found you. I am considering starting a side business with my Scan Cut. But before I ask for time off, do you think it is possible doing this kind of vinyl cutting, for signs for example, to make $200 per day on Etsy and how log it might take working 8 hrs per day to get up to that volume? I am nervous to make the change but so motivated to do so. I appreciate your opinion. I am going to binge watch your videos 🙂
Hello! I totally see where you're coming from! I would say, it's definitely possible but it may take some time! I always tell people that with a business on Etsy, you get out of it what you put into it if that makes sense! If you are wanting to go all in and really pursue it then you will definitely be successful! ❤️
Hi! I have never actually made jewelry before but I do see a huge market for it on Etsy! I have a video my channel all about how I started my business with lots of tips if you'd like to check it out! ❤️
I did not take any courses before opening my Etsy shop, but I did practice for months and did a ton of research about starting a business to be sure I was doing everything right! Simply Sallie here on RUclips does have a great course for new Etsy sellers though if you're interested!
I went to the acrylic blanks website from Canada where you get some of your items. Apparently they have a laser malfunction and are not accepting orders until further notice! Hope you’re stocked up on items you needed. Side note: I was thinking, I need to tell Cassie! How??? Guess I’ll just post a comment on YT 😅
Oh wow! Thank you for letting me know about this! I am all stocked up right now thankfully! I wonder what happened! Haha yes you can always comment or message me on Instagram! You’re the best! 😘
We need Sallie to laser cut us some blanks! I was going to order some blanks using your link, to see their quality. I know you mentioned before it’s a little bit pricier but you’re always impressed with their quality. I found an acrylic place in TX that I like and have ordered a few times already, but sometimes it’s a hit or miss with quality. Otherwise I would have sent you a link.
@@justthethreeofus5055 yes! I’m ready and patiently waiting for Sallie to start cutting acrylic! Haha! Right! Acrylic Blanks has great quality! I haven’t found another place in the US that cuts shapes like AB! If you find a good place please let me know! I ordered some acrylic sheets from Houston Acrylic in Texas and the quality was so good! If you’re looking for larger signs I definitely recommend them! I’m going to see if they do custom orders for smaller shapes too.
14:53 i my country i never seen this kind of transparent figure...what is the name of the raw materials on which you drew/painted?...can u please make a video on initial cost of materials and expected profit returns for lets say 100 pieces?...thank u in advance mam..have a beautiful day ahead
Watching you prep your Etsy orders is both therapeutic AND inspirational! You do such great work and are so well organized (which is exactly what I am striving for when I finally get my business venture up and running 😆)! Thank you much for sharing your journey!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Same! I feel your pain, lol♡
Hi Cassie, can you please do a video on how you take photos and upload the different options you offer, like the ribbons and text colors?
Hi Dana! Yes I definitely plan to do a video on that soon! I use Canva for all of my shop graphics! It’s so easy to do on there! Thank you for watching my videos! ❤️
I worked my Etsy shop while I watched you work your Etsy shop. It was fun! 😊
Awww yay! So happy to work with you! 🥰
Hi Cassie, can you please do a video of how you ship & pack your large acrylic signs?
Hi Needa! I plan to do one very soon! Thank you so much for watching! 💗
Yay new video! I liked before the first 10 seconds. Missed you posting!
Haha! You are so sweet! Thank you so much for supporting my channel and watching my videos! It really means so much to me ❤️
Your voice is so sweet, this video has been so relaxing and helpful
Thank you so much! ❤️
Great video and super helpful!! -- DO YOU REUSE YOUR BRUSHES? if so, how do you salvage them?
Thank you so much! Yes, I do! I typically use each foam brush twice and then I'll trash it! I just rinse them off after the first use and then let them air dry.
Thank you for a great video! I really enjoy the work with me videos! It's neat to see how you do things and it's nice and relaxing to have on in the background while I work as well! Thanks again!
Thank you Jennifer! Thanks so much for watching my videos! You have no idea how much it means to me! I’m so glad you’re enjoying them! ❤️🥰
Where did you find the straw you use with your Stanley cup? It looks perfect!
Target! Here is the link! rstyle.me/cz-n/g5cserd3jwf
Do you have to seal the backs?
Have you had any issues with the Valspar paint lifting? 💜
Hi April! I use polycrylic clear gloss!
I haven’t had any issues with Valspar paint lifting! It’s my favorite so far! ❤️
Your channel came up on my feed. This is why I order from Etsy instead of making an item because that’s a lot of work. It was sure interesting to watch. You have an awesome product. Thx&see ya😁
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰

Really good job !
Do you seal your acrylic topper cake ? If that’s the case what kind of sealer do you use ? For paint ?
Love from France ❤
Thank you!! Yes, I do seal all of my acrylics! I use Polycrylic. The paint I use is called Valspar.
Have you done any videos on what you make from your Etsy shop in a year?
I haven’t but I think this is a great idea! I will add it to the list of videos I’m wanting to do soon!
What size is the parchment paper squares? And where do you get the paper net looking packaging for the brown box. TIA 😊
I cut the parchment paper down to the same size as the round. For instance, for the 4 inch rounds, I will cut a 4x4 inch piece of parchment paper! ❤️
Amazon! here is the link! amzn.to/3HBqx1U
Thank You. You are amazing. To many blessings for you.
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
Hi Cassie, can you please tell me what brand vinyl you use and what cut setting you cut on? I always struggle with really thin lines.
Hi! I use Oracal vinyl! I have it linked in the description box if you want to see the exact one! As far as the cut settings.. I always use the "premium outdoor vinyl" setting! Thank you for watching!❤️
Looks beautiful! Where do you get your small bags from? The ones that you used for the monthly baby milestones
Thank you Sabah! I get them from Amazon! Here is the link for the ones I use! amzn.to/3Dzod8Q ❤️
I really enjoyed watching this! Please make more of these!!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad you enjoy these! ❤️🥰
Hey Cassie! What a wonderful video, I've always been curious to see what goes on in the background of an Etsy shop. I would love to see a video showing the business side of things. Have you ever broken down the costs of material and labour? What are the actual profits like in the end, if you were to convert it to a per hour salary for example? I hope that's not inappropriate. Thanks for sharing, your work is beautiful and I appreciate the attention to detail. All the best.
Thank you! I haven't actually made a video on that just yet! I will add it to the list of videos I want to do soon! That's a good idea!
Love your organization skills!
Thank you! ❤️
Love it, Cassie! You’re so organized.
Thank you Ambra! 🥰🥰
Everything looks great! I love the font on the milestone discs.
Thank you so much! I love that font too! So cute! ❤️
Great video and beautiful work!!! I am a 71 yr old grandma trying to learn my Cricut and the Design Space. Could you tell me what your best sellers are? I am interested in learning how to do the things that wouldn't be hard for me to ship because of health issues. Thank you for your response.
Hi Nancy! Thank you so much for watching my videos! ❤️ my best sellers are definitely my acrylic baby milestones! They’re very easy to ship as well!
@@CassieCouncil thank you much!!!
What do you use to clean the acrylic before you package it to remove any fingerprints.?
Hi Courtney! I use a microfiber cloth! ❤️
Can you please make a video on how you make aclyrics and how you would start your business
Hi! I do already have quite a few videos on my channel showing my process and step by step of starting my business if you'd like to check them out!
Hi there, I wonder if all the paint from valspar can paint on acrylic?
I use the satin finish, but I’m sure they would all work wonderfully!
Hi Cassie, beautiful work! Thank you for the video and a look into how you run your store. May the Lord grow your business over the coming years; God Bless
Thank you so much! God bless you as well! ❤️🥰

Thank you Natalie! ❤️
Buenas, le pones algún protector atrás para la pintura que le pones? Porque si rascas se daña
Hello! I use Polycrylic to seal the back!
Finally someone does what I do ❤❤

Hi Cassie, Thank you for sharing the information.
Which font do you usw for the Baby Milestones?
Hello! Thank you! The fonts I used are called ADELIA and LOVES. I get them from Creative Fabrica. I have a link in the description box!
How do you prevent the paint from coming off the acrylic? If it's bumped for example. Did you put a clear vinyl over it or seal them? I didn't see that part on the video. Just curious, thank you :)
I use very high quality paint & add a clear coat of Polycrylic to the painted area!
Is that just paint u put on there or like primer
Just paint!
How do you get the names for the custom orders? Do they email you their order number and the name they want. I’m trying to do custom stuff on my Etsy with names but am having trouble
There is a personalization section when they place their order! It’s super easy!
What kind of paint do you use?
Valspar or Folkart!
Hi! Do you have issues with brushstrokes showing in the light? Not sure if this is normal, or if I should be doing something differently. Thank you!

Hiii 👋🏻 how do you protect the paint in the back surface?
Hello! I seal it with a thin layer of Polycrylic!
I'm confused. What are they used for?
I'm sorry, What are you referring to?
Hi Cassie, what type of font is the one you used for the top writing on the milestones cards?
Hello! It's called Adelia!
@@CassieCouncil thank you 😊
What are the font names???? Love them ❤
