starting a sticker business || opening and testing cricut, printer and sticker paper || VLOG 005

In this VLOG you'll follow me through trials and errors to find the best materials and combinations to create waterproof / water resistant stickers.

My sticker launch is next thursday! (21st January 2021) day after 7 years running madebytaylahrose. available on website and possibly etsy too! (links below)

video TLDR
- Wanting to start designing my own items so starting with stickers to practice and get my art style. Hoping to go into downloadable digital design art works, prints etc. in the future

- Was going to create a whole new business for the design and art style products however decided against that and will combine with madebytaylahrose and the products I already sell

- Anxiety and worry about starting something so different and out of my comfort zone and also because of how temperamental cricuts can be (or so ive heard)

- Opening cricut and figuring out design space and tools.

- Opening printer and figuring out it does in fact have a rear tray but still haven't figured out why the colours are off when printing in gloss settings

- testing and trialling all the sticker papers, laminates and contacts
