minnie, here is an alternative idea for printing on envelops: use stamps you can design them and just stamp all the envelops too 💕

Yes, also there are different kinds of ink pads or even embossing powder if you have a heat tool.

I agree, a stamp is best. To reduce consumption and waste, as well as increase efficiency and ease of process, I would have a custom rummer stamp made with your own design, and then use an OIL based stamping ink. They'll need to lay out and dry, but you shouldn't have any problems with it. There's just always waste involved in cutting custom stickers for everything (and COST) for something that will likely be tossed away. There's also the additional wear on equipment, power consumption, etc.

I was going to suggest that too -- GMTA and all that. :) Cheaper than stickers in the long run, as close to zero environmental impact as you can get, and if you want to do something fancy for higher-tier Patreon supporters or some such, you can paint different colored inks onto the stamp before stamping it, to get a multicolored image.

At least it sounds like one of us is being productive during this lockdown ha

Man this lock down had either made people productive or just something else lol for me I've been able to illustrate so many projects. Great to see the positivity here

You've put in such efforts to your packages that every single one of them is special. Every one who buys it will be glad that how much effort, love and time it took to make it... and now they have one of it.

So true. 😂

Thank you for opening up your studio to us. Just watching how you manage your art projects is so helpful. AND thanks for supporting social justice and environmental protection. I truly hope that you continue to grow as an artist and a wonderful humanitarian.

This is easily my favorite video from you, Minnie. I can't possibly count how many times I've re-watched this one. It's just so pleasing, informative and inspiring in so many ways.

Aside from all the amazing art and products, can I just say, I love the fact that you always have a new hairstyle in every shot! I have a similar hair texture to yours and I get so many cute style ideas! Lol. Thanks for inspiring me to get cracking on my Etsy shop and also to try more things with my hair! ❤️

I am feeling less and less alone in my plastic free endeavours. Absolutely wonderful art and so calming to watch you work! Thank you

Diva! I am a remnant from the Queen who still resides in Hong Kong. Your videos and artistic expression inspires me. Thank you for keeping your videos coming my way. Obviously things are in turmoil where I live right now ( as it is everywhere ) but your videos keep me on point. 💕💕💕

I was so close to purchasing one of the notebooks but I held out for a sketchbook! I am very excited to purchase one of your sketchbooks when they’re ready, I completely adored the porcelain squid design!

I love how passionate you are about your work and how much you love making art.

your videos are exciting to me :) packaging orders never getting boring in my opinion, pure comfort and joy watching your busy studio vlogs. The longer the videos the better xxx

You should do a video where you recommend and review all the printing services you've used for things like your stickers, prints, business cards, etc!

Beautiful work! I noticed your painting style developed so much, i love it! Also so glad to hear that you are finding ways to reduce plastic!

Love all your little extra stationary bits. Small touches really show you care and is so enjoyable to watch!!

I’ve been illustrating for more than 10 years and I decided to start commissioning last 2 years. Thank you for sharing as an artist perspective and also showing how you manage your obstacle by trying to use less plastic. It really helps me to start my commissions and sending appropriate presentation packaging to my regular customers. Thank you so much once again! ❤️🙌🏼 Sending lots of love from Singapore! 🤟🏼

I love the botanical illustration...and everything else haha

oh! Those teeny landscapes are so beautiful ... in a teeny book!! Love!

Every. Single. Item. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! I loved every single one!!

I cannot express how much of an inspiration you are to me, I just really admire how much thought and care you put into your business and your product and doing what you love. I hope to be able to have my own art business some day. And thank you for making such beautiful art for us ✨❤️

This video's turning out to be meditative to me.. I'm mean..GIRL!! YOU and YOUR ART are beyond what I see anywhere else... Really astounding✨✨

My gosh, the fact you made each of these sketchbooks in addition to the art makes them even more special than they already were. Thank you! Glad you are making the best of these strange times. Keep up the good work!

My package arrived today and it's so beautiful and special! I came back to watch this video because I wanted to be reminded of the love and care with which you prepared it. Thank you Minnie, I love both your content and your art!

everything you paint has such movement and life! I so admire your work

You are so amazing! Thank you for inspiring me to be creative. ❤🌻 To anyone reading this, I hope you have an amazing day!

Your voice and the way you talk is so pleasant to listen to 🥰🥰

Thanks for the frequent uploads! I watch and rewatch your old content almost everyday, while praying for a new upload! Thank you

Those sketchbooks sound REALLY good. It's so hard to find ones with good quality paper that stand up to everything I want to throw at them lol. Thank you for making these videos, they're very inspiring!

The way u speak is so nice to hear. It’s very calming as you talk about what your plans and other stuff. Very relaxing😊❤️❤️❤️

Such a wonderful and inspiring video. Just what I needed today! Receiving your patreon package each month is such a joy. Thank you for all that you share with us x

Wow! So much work! I guess I never realized how much work is involved being an independent artist. Love your work! Best of luck with your return to the studio.

I absolutely love and appreciate how much work and creativity you put into your packaging :) Can't wait for sketchbooks!

I admire all your hard work and effort, and everything you put into your art. I always tell myself this would be too much for me to handle all by myself. You inspire me

Minnie, you are amazing! A phenomenal artiste with a work ethic that is equally yoked. Brava!

I am so glad that YT recommended this video to me! Your studio/shop looks small but cozy, and I like the look of your art.

Your guillotine is a beast! Love your videos and you! Thank you for being you!

I love these longer vlogs so much. It almost feels cinematic. It is a joy watching your process!

🤩 aWh i just got my postcards and stickers and mailed them back out to all my friends! thank you so much

Inspiration of my life journey. It's fun coming back to your videos. I admire how your efforts are from passionate personality that craves to always experiment further with lot of ideas that comes to mind.

Awesome bout of creativity and productivity there. And yes, I do admit to being thrilled when I saw the things I ordered pass by on the screen accompanied by all the lovely details you plan to put in the packaging.💕

So great to see you back in your studio. You really have a knack for making artists feel like they've a colleague in the room with them (plus I HATE sending artwork off for print, too!) 😬

Wow! Amazing! You come up with the most incredible ideas!!! Loved this!!!! Hands down my favorite artist on here!

I love your beautiful vlogs Minnie!!! They are so inspiring and calming! Thank you for another amazing video💕💕 Evie

When I see you have put a new video out it is a good day 🌸

you always put so much work into your creations, this is amazing how high is the quality and also I like that you are giving your soul and emotions to create all this

This was my favorite video yet !!! I mean, I love all of them, but this one was long, full of content and practical information and just so enjoyable to watch ! Please keep making more of this (when you can)! I love how you divided it into different parts too. It was so interesting to me. Oh and I loved your last video too, where you showed how you would create (and how you actually created) notebooks! Uff I want more creative to producing process videos and stuff haha One day I wanna be able to support you AND I wanna create and have my own shop too :) I wanna be able to be independent and to actual know what I'm doing xD Thank you so much for showing us all of the details and keep being amazing ! (and excuse my English btw) 💕

That would be so amazing to have our own shops, I said the same thing in the comments.

gosh i appreciate you making subtitles for a 20 mins vlog!!

Minnie Small, dear people! The legend! Gosh, this was a lot of art for one video, but it doesn't make me jealous, more like super inspired, excited for all the things Minnie does! This reminds me of my "going out of low" mood. At those times I draw aggressive as mu as I can :) Minnie, these illustrations looks stunning! I'm sucker for lemons/citruses especially in the summer time🍋

Oh my gosh and oh my goodness Minnie your artwork is up there girl love love love your authentic style. 🥰

How about a new thank you card design for each month over the year. They can become collectibles then and maybe people will order something each month to get the new thank you card?

Love you as a KZread Artist...our styles are different but the spirit-quite the same...You inspire me and the sounds that you use with your videos just carry me away in staying (double entendre) with what you are sharing (not that I would leave but that is a bonus) Be well...

the duality of ur vids to relax and inspire productivity (and creativity) is so amazing!! it’s 11 pm here and im tucked in bed but now also in a sudden need to organize my files and work on projects ive been postponing lmao

Hi Minnie, Truly an absolutely brilliant vlog, these are the types of vlogs that I truly enjoy and I love to watch them again and again, never get enough of these vlogs, thank you so much for this amazing vlog, again absolutely brilliant

There is soo much stuff you need to work on by yourself and you just go ahead and ace it 😍 that's really inspiring! 💛

The tiny landscapes are so, so lovely 🥺

Love how much effort you put onto every product, packaging and art 🙌

Your whole channel and your art process is such an inspiration.

I love the way you vlog!!! Thank you for sharing wonderful content

Minnie! I love how your realness is just an inspiration for me to keep pursuing Illustration as a business. Thank you so much for you videos. I can't express enough how happy I am everytime I see them, and listening to you. I've been following you for the last 2 years, and I can say you are top of the list of Fave Art CHannels.

I really like the way the stickers turned out😃

When I am older I am for sure buying your prints and sketchbooks, but unfortunaly I am to young. You inspire me everyday and I love your art.

Just found your channel and I must say, it was a long time ago I got so much inspiration to make art and potentially sell it. Absolutely love your work-ethic and so happy I found you in my recommendations!

I love Minnie's videos she's been an inspiration to me for years now and never ceases to amaze me with her work. Thankyou for this videos Minnie they are truly inspiring and lovely ❤️

I appreciate your work so much. Your'e making beautiful and inspiring things every single time. Thank you! You are a true magic💜

It's so super cool to see how you tackle things and challenges, and how much work you put for every little details, it's just inspiring :)

Based on the thank you cards, I would buy your secrets from the walled garden book/zine/whatever. I would buy those cards as is! ❤️

I love your Victorian houses and floral work! Also, your hair wraps. While watching this I thought book markers would be beautiful as well but no pressure 😸💕

This is a lovely video Minnie! You've been working so hard on your shop, I purchased some things today

Omg !!!!! A new video

"my printer did not like that" LOL oh man I felt that. Once again, seriously an amazing and inspiring video, and best of luck with your watercolor notebook experiment! I'm a bit into bookbinding and I recently built a makeshift book press, which really helps to flatten books while the glue dries. Thank you so so much Minnie!

I literally love everything you do, your videos, your art, your sketchbooks - everything!

You're so inspiring. I love how you work, your workspace, how you cut your videos and your clothing style aswell as your art style. I usually don't write comments but these are my thoughts on the last couple of videos from you. Keep going💪🏼❤️

Eagerly awaiting my notebooks from your shop! Really hope I can become a patron when my income comes back. Whenever that happens..

The packaging portion of this video was so satisfying

Everything you made is absolutely beautiful! And the effort you put in the small details is just incredible. You are incredible 😍😍😍

I can't believe you actually made the sketchbooks yourself as well as designing them, them look great! I hope you're having a lovely day 💕

That's what I taught when I was watching this video and they all look so perfect, I know I have a few pages off no matter how steady I was with the knife.

You're so industrious Minnie! I love your videos, and your productivity is just inspiring!

I just love your videos! they're always so informative and engaging to watch. It's clear to see how organising and planning your shop makes you happy + I love that! x

Really beautiful prints, drawings and stickers!! I loved the personalized envelope idea they turned out so cute!

One idea for packaging decoration is stamps - they are fun to make and you can use inks that won't smudge when dry, like Stazon or printmaking ink :)

Wow. Just WOW! What an unbelievable ammount of work. And love in the details. Makes me wish to order from you, for all of it - the art, the packaging... even just to support you so that all of this will be profitable for you.

You always motivate me. This video has got me up and off to making my artwork!

Yesss, I love your vids Minnie❤️

Hey! I'm excited to see a real-time, current vlog! Love your work.

This was a great video I like seeing the more logistical? perspective of having a small biz. Sometimes it is daunting to move from idea to product and even if it is not perfect, it is complete so that you can refine and improve the process it took to get there. Everybody stay safe. Love from the States. :)

Honestly, I really enjoy watching your video, it always inspired me to create more art and increase my creativity. I aspire to be like you.😄😊

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE SO INSPIRATIONAL AND YOUR VOICE AND PERSONALITY AND BEAUTY AND THE ART. honey, the art💕😍😍😍😍

i really remember why i subscribed in this video, watching you work things out and the way you talk just gives me a calm feeling:)

This channel never fails to make me feel things. She can be doing something completely mundane and just speaking her thoughts in a voice over and I will leave the video feeling such warmth, inspiration, and thoughtfulness. She might not always know where life is going and she might not always be feeling great, but she perseveres for something that is her passion (and shares what she has learned). I am grateful to get to experience a small piece of that

I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm trying to transition from writing to painting (religious art) and have been trying to figure out how to monetise it more efficiently and all your ideas are really transferrable. Hugely helpful.

Absolutely love this vlog 😍 we can see you put sooo much work into this and your products 💜

When I get frustrated or tired, I put on some Minnie Small, and that soothing voice eases my frustration and puts me asleep.

You have been an inspiring for me to work on my art channel ♥️

I just discovered your channel. I am so excited to go through and watch every episode. Thank you!

This was so much fun to watch. Your productivity is inspiring! I am crazy about those lemon/fungus/spinach prints. (And I love how you style your hair, btw. All the scarves, braids and headbands are fun.)

Hello girl!! I've just recently discovered your channel and I loooove it! Have you ever though of doing bookmarks? Would be a nice item do use all craps of paper! Love xx
