No, I think it's wonderful to learn new things I'm 75 and I'm starting my candle business and baby luxury clothes and totes I can't stop and I owe a lot to u. I've been watching u since u started wwaaaayyyyy back.😅😅😅 KEEP LEARNING.
Wow that is amazing 🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷 you got this! I love the idea of candle making 😆🥲
I’m about to turn 70 and have a planner/journaling business. Taught myself graphics.
@Karen.c.h good 4 u keep at it and keep watching these videos. She's so smart..
You folks are amazing 😍 so inspiring ❤️🙌
Fellow Teessider and small business owner here, I can relate to all of what you said about the area. The girls at House of Foliage are wonderful aren’t they? I love how you are boosting the area, you are such an inspiration, my heart belongs to Teesside too and probably always will. Thanks for sharing all you do Catherine xx
Your story about your hometown quite literally brought tears to my eyes . That was so lovely 🥲 xxx
🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
It’s so sweet to hear you talk about your lovely small town. I grew up in a small town in Florida. Got married at 34 and moved close to Miami where my hubby lived. Now we have a home in another small town near where I grew up and we can’t wait to move back permanently. Yes big cities are convenient but they’re also noisy, chaotic and often full of rude people. Like you, our small town is home and it’s where my loved ones are. It doesn’t get better than that🥰
Your cat keyboard is so fun! The ASMR of clicky keys is great! I love that you were invited to give a talk to some fellow small businesses and even more so I love that you were willing to do it for free. Showing your support of fellow creators by doing that is wonderful.
🥹🌷🌷 hehehe thank you Andrea! 🥹🌷
Huge fan, first time commenting!!! I hope you realize how inspirational you are. I feel we are dear old friends (Not in a creepy way, LOL). Just wanted to chime in about your hometown. It looks like you and Dean are well known and respected in your hometown since they invite you to do talks about your business. Have you considered doing a full tour video of your hometown and get together with local business owners (restaurants, hotels, trains, etc) like what you do in your personal channel. AND also, have you reconsidered opening a storefront? Or even a weekend popup shop/meet and greet, I'm sure you guys will sell out!!! You will definitely help boost business in your town. ❤❤❤
NEVER sick of you talk about anything, love! However I agree, I never pay much attention to greeting cards, and their thickness even less so. :) You're doing great! xx
🥹🌷🌸🌷
Omg I remember watching you 3-4 years ago, it’s been so long! I can’t wait to start watching your vlogs again!
heheh welcome back welcome back! 😍
You should do a Mother’s Day range for North America with the ‘Mom’ spelling which is Sunday May 12th 🙏🥰
Yes! We have actually just done that! Because we print the items in house if you leave a note we can do this! 🥹🌷 (we’re working on making a drop down selection for this!)
Well aren’t you a bright light of joy. I’m enamored. ❤
What a lovely thing to say thank you so much 🥹😭🌷
I loved my Mothers Day card that my son purchased from you & I'm going to frame it soon for my office . Just wondering if you are likely to make the stickers to go with the set as I love ducks ?! Congratulations on becoming a brand ambassador too , I'm sure you will be making amazing products with it. That keyboard is so you especially with it being pink !🌺
Oh wow hehehe thank you so so much 🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷 yes we will be making a full set releasing soon! 🥹🌷
From the bottom of my heart, I hope your business continues to grow. You're so lovable and your work is incredibly inspiring ❤
Oh wow, what a lovely lovely thing to say, thank you so so much 🌷😭 This means the world you da best!
I really enjoyed your Vlog today. I have been watching you grow your business for years. Then a couple of years ago I realised you lived just up the road from me. I live in Teesside too, and have many of the same memories as you. Practically my whole family worked at ICI. I am a crafter and work for a company who makes stamps and stencils etc. I too have been on a journey of my own while you have been on yours. It is nice to see fellow Artists from your area, and doing so well too. We have a lot in common because of our Area, the love of printing (mine is done on a GelliPlate) and clacky keyboards!!! Yes I have had one for a while, the keys have worn out but I am a touch typist so I don’t need them. The sound is nostalgic because a lot of us learnt on the original 60”s 70’s retro keyboards. Which were more modern Typewriters but still clacky! Well people of my age did anyway. You do a great job and it’s lovely that you share so much. I feel like you might end up on Skillshare yourself one day.
The daffodils are lovely, but I spy a beautiful DAISY! 💛💛💛
loved that little tail cameo 🥰
Hehehe 😂🎀🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I DO care about the lens!! My husband is a film director and talks about lenses all the time- I find it interesting!
My favorite additions to your edits are your voice overs. I love how much character and life it adds to a vlog. I would love if you voice over when you're making the mother and baby duck graphic , I watch these when I work out on the treadmill so its just nice. I loved how beautifully you talk about your town♡ very poetic or storybook like
oh wow thank you so so much I am so happy your enjoying them heheh 🌷 I do want to share more of my back story and why I built up katnipp heheh it makes me happy and hopefully inspires others, so I am happy you enjoyed this 😍
my uncle worked for ICI too! :( I remember what a massive impact that had on so many lives. But it's so lovely and inspiring to see small businesses emerging and thriving in teeside!!
🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷 Teesside babies
Aw My Dad and Grandad worked at BSC as was , its been so sad to see the impact on the town , but exciting to see the number of small businesses popping up , still one of my favourite spots in the world
That ducky design is adorable!! I sent it to my hubby when it was released as a huge hint that I wanted it for mother's day, but didn't happen 😅 Might just go and order it myself because it's too damn cute!
The Mother’s Day illustrations are so cute!
Me (in tears): watching the Redcar/house of foliage part Catherine all of a sudden: ✨🌷omg look at this keyboard 🌷✨ hehehe (it is a cute keyboard). I’m so proud of your growth !!! 🥹 being from a small seaside ghost town myself, I totally understand what you mean. everything feels so hopeless. I’m glad you were able to flourish against the odds (or closed-minded expectations of the university). I was also told at college that I’d have to move to London to “make it big” as an artist and I felt super discouraged for a while before I realised the opportunities we have as online artists! you are living proof that anything is possible as long as you are passionate and unwavering. thank you for inspiring me (and the rest of your viewers) every day !! 🥺💌
Truly loved you sharing about your hometown
To hear you talk about the steel works made me well up as my hubby lost his job in 2015 4 months after having a baby and we struggled so much it was an awful time for our family so nice to hear you acknowledge it .x.
I love the Mother’s Day products!! Super cute!! 🥰
Tysm 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
❤️ Love your connections to your town. I feel the same way.
🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
oh hey, I was born in a "steel city" too! Pueblo, Colorado. I totally understand, it would be so weird to go there and not see the steel mill. and my Grandfather worked there too!
absolutley love your products!! I love seeing your passion for your art and small business, it's so inspiring!!! I bought one of the mothers day duck ornaments for my mum and she absolutley loved it!! 💗 i'm redoing my bedroom and gonna get one of the cute gaming mousepads for my setup!!
I love the video quality with your new lens. It’s so much crispy!
🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
Hey Catherine 🤗 I love the collection you created for Mother’s Day 😊 I hope your talk went well (I know it was a while ago now ☺️) love that keyboard - I need to get one of your gamer mats for my desk 🩷 xxx

You're so pretty! You're makeup is so cute it suits you so well
Oh wow what a lovely thing to say tysm 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and inspiring us. This is such a tough topic, but learning to be alone is so important bc it’s just gonna be you with yourself at the end of the day!

Tysm 🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷
I love your storytelling!❤
Oh wow thank you so so much 🥹🌷🌷🌷
Hey! This is my burner account, I am a mutual business owner and I 100% agree with thicker card stock (feels higher quality and shows how much you care) but that’s just my POV I love your brand! So inspiring ❤
Eek! I love love how things are turning out for you Catherine 🎉👏👏👏😊 I never finish his videos because they are quite long and I really don't have the time to spend watching for that long. Anywho congrats again 😊
🥹🌷🖨️ thank you so so much!
Love love love the keyboard. Bit pricy but fancy one for my home office
Loving the hair color change, Katnipp!
Hehehe thank you! I’m wearing a wig in the second half 🥹🌷
@@KatnippStudios it suits you. Also, don’t work too hard 🤗
@@KatnippStudios you look stunning in it! Where is the wig from?😍😍
Hi Cat! This was a lovely video as usual but I especially enjoyed the last part! Thank you for sharing a brief story of our town with us and why you chose to stay ❤
🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷 thank you so muchhhhhh
*your town! I just noticed I typed “our” 😂
Love your videos ❤, i m soooo excited for your next video….. lol. Congrats on all your achievements 🎉….. loved the keyboard too lol😅super cute
🥹🥹🥹🌸 can’t wait to show you! In the next one we’re gonna go to Amsterdam to the printer even and I’ll show my new babbbyyyyyy 🖨️
The mouse mat would be so cute if you file in the bottom half and include a cute underwater scene with fish 😃
🥹🥹🥹 I’d love to do an underwater/mermaid collection! Let’s do that for summer 2025!
I’m literally so excited about these videos and how open and transparent you are. I’ve been here since 2016 and it’s been amazing to see your growth🥹🫶🏽
I was born in Middlesbrough and grew up in Ingleby Barwick 😊. Fond memories. My family are now dotted around Darlington, Saltburn and Yarm xx
🥹🥹🥹🌷 hehehe fellow teessiders! 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I care! Greeting cards, new lenses - details are great! I appreciate it all :)
heheh yayy 😍 thank you so so much heheh
I love your content so much, Katnipp!
oh wow I love that your a mangaka thats amazing, is there somewhere I can read your stories? I would love to find some new manga to read heheh YOU DA BEST 🌷
You are not alone.. I loooooove mechanical keyboards purely for the sound. Does anyone else get upset when there is music over typing bits? I wanta hear the clickity clicks 😅
It was a crazy decision but you managed it! we all knew you would 🥰🥰
Totally! 😊
Oh wow thank you so so much 🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Love my Roland vinyl cutter - someday I aim to get the printer/cutter.
🥹🥹🥹🖨️🖨️🖨️
Love your hair colour ❤️
heheh aww thank you so much 🌷
Great Teesside shout out as a Teesside Stocktonian myself. You are a great example of what can be achieved when you reach for those stars, which are the same in Redcar and Teesside as the rest of the world 😊. ⭐️🌼⭐️🌼⭐️
🥹🌷🌷🌷 amen! ❤❤❤❤ we hardly see anyone representation in Teesside! Let’s put it on the map hehee
That cat keyboard is so cute I'm actually going to implode
You can print white as a color?! 😮 what! That’s an adorable design. Love the mug.
Nope, if you mean like that duck the backing is white and the rest is coloured and where you have white just stays uncolored Dtf printers though i think you can thats where you print ysing dtf inks onto clear sheets and heatpress the image to tops
My new printer will be able to omg I can’t wait to play with it 🤣
Hi Kat! Im a long term enjoyer of your shop and channel! Im not sure if you take suggestions but I would love to see more social media related planner stickers :3 I love the new drop and am so excited to get my order (especially the new mothers day card, despite the stress) . I use your stickers to plan my streams and know me and other streamers would love to get some stickers relating to "going live" or "stream" I feel silly asking for requests.
Katnipp and gang, you're putting Redcar on the map! I never heard about it until you came along. Thank you for sharing the story of Redcar. I'm a history buff, especially UK even though I'm in the U.S.
Hehehe 🤣 honestly it’s a very small run down town but it has some beautiful surrounding areas and one of the nicest beaches I’ve actually ever seen! I love our beach!
ooh welcome to the xtool gang! xD looking forward to see what you're going to create with it
Eeeeek do you like yours?! 🥹🥹🥹
@@KatnippStudios yees, so far it's pretty cool! but I have the M1, it's the bigger one. Although I very much like the F1 what I'm seeing, it's cute an small, does not take up that much space xD
Just a little suggestion for when you score the fold in the cards, do them upside down so the bend is on the inside of the card, you are bending the fibres in the card inward so it will give nicer finish if you are bending the card in the same direction you have put the crease, you don’t have to put so much pressure with the bone folder when you go to fold the card either because your folding the card in the direction you put the crease in, it helps with the card standing for display too. Love the new designs and looking forward to your new journey and how you expand your products you all have an exciting time ahead ❤
Hope I described it ok sometimes it’s better in my head than writing it down lol but it does help not to overstretch the fibres in the card especially with a heavier weight card stock. ❤
Hehehe ooo I think I got what you meant hehehe thank you so so much for the tips 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Oh my goodness, those mugs 😍😍😍x
🥹🥹🥹🌷🌷🌸 hehehe I’m happy you like them!
I’d love to have the du k ornament with no text, so I can keep it for myself hehe. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! 🦆 🐥
Hi Catherine! What paper do you use for your prints, the quality looks sooo nice !
Oh thank you! I use a 235gsm archival matte by marrutt xxx
I loved those little packs you gave out. Would you ever consider giving them to other events?
Yes totally! 🥹🌷
@@KatnippStudios they would be perfect for SWPC I’ll get the organiser to contact you 🤞🏻
Lovely Spring vibes and loved the history talk about Red Carr, also that KEYBOARD! he heeeeee! xx. I'm not going to get one as I have a laptop but I'm just going to search for it to check out the price...... do be do be do....... (p.s. It was Bumblebutts turn to sit with us in bed last weekend and my hubby kept saying he is a Cele-bri-Bee again, he he, it makes me think of Bumblebutt with some cool shades on). 🐝🕶🌸💐🌼
Hehehehe 😆🤣🤣🤣 omg I feel like I have to do that for summer hahaha 🤣
that’s the perfect keyboard for stardew valley (if you haven’t played it already) 🥺
I love these vlogs :) please, please do phone cases
Oh my gosh I would lOVE TOOOOO 🌷😍🙋🏼♀
4:55 was it used as an expensive dog chew?!?!😝I got a mechanical keyboard for xmas. I love it 🥰 I want all the cute keycaps!!" 😀😛
I enjoyed hearing about your area you live in. So interesting but sad for you all I’m sure. Also, my teens pick their keyboards by the distinct click it makes. So I get it. Haha
Hehehe the clicking is so satisfying hehe 🥹🌷
The only problem with cardstock is a lot of it is not archival. So if someone decides to frame it then over time it will fade unless they UV spray it to protect it. The bulk of my shop is greeting cards and I try to stick with Red River Paper since all of their cardstock is archival. They have a whole section on greeting cards, but this is for greeting cards you expect to save, like a mini print.
Oooooo I might try red river paper, are they based in the US I think I actuslly went on their site before!
@@KatnippStudios yes they are in Dallas. I love the polar matte since most of my art is on watercolor paper and it looks similar. You might like the heavier aurora cards. You might order a sample kit. They are also a great source for icc profiles and will answer any printer setting questions. When I get ready for comicons I just print all my 5x7 prints on the cards and make one cut. Makes prep time so fast. I loved this paper so much I bought the roll for my Epson p900. Anyway hope this at least gives you another source. I know people like to collect your cards.
I live locally to Redcar, I live in a town called Newton Aycliffe (25k population), which is massively centred around it's industrial estate. While opportunities are far and few between in small towns in the north, there's a charm that can't be replaced by a big city or a big town. I visit Redcar frequently, and it's been so sad to watch the town become what it is. Recently a steelwork contract was awarded to a southern company, rather than the Government trying to make recompense to towns like Redcar who suffered from the reduction of steel work contracts in the country, without any subsequent financial aid. Redcar is still beautiful in so many ways, it has rich history, incredible ancient tree root fossils on the beach, and some incredibly small businesses. The addition of the small business shop below the arcade office is just another reason to love the culture in Redcar, the people are always trying to push through the hardship they've been forced into.
Yep! I totally agree why does the south always get so much more opportunity 🥲🥲🥲🥲 it’s like they forget about us up north sob sob 😭 then people are forced to move down south! Breaks my heart! Love the petrified forest it’s so cool 😆 I just wish the high street would come back 🥲
Totally Agree, although you do have EASILY the best B&M ever 😅 @@KatnippStudios
teeeeeside
What paper are you using for your greeting cards? Love your videos ❤
These are a 300gsm smooth double sided matte paper from Amazon! 🥹🌷
Thanks Catherine! I have followed you for years and you’re such an inspiration ❤
@Katnippstudios what printer do you use to print that heavy of a paper (300gsm) I really want to get a better printer that will take heavy cardstock. Thank you. PS you are looking so great. You have always looked beautiful but the sparkle you have now makes you even more beautiful. You are Dean are so sweet together and love your travel vlogs. They are always filmed so beautifully.
Oh wow thank you so so much 🥹🥹🌷✨ what a lovely thing to sayyyyyy hehehe I’m using my Epsom ecotank 8850 xxxxx
* "It's just a card." (as in "it is," rather than ownership its) LOL. It's the perfectionism. Relatable! :) You're doing amazingly. It's that attention to detail that makes a successful entrepreneur. :)
heheh aww thank you so so much heheh 🌷😍
What's the greets card paper your now using? The 300g cardstock I have is still to flimsy..yours looks great!😊
Mine is still just 300g! So I think it will be the same as yours 🥹🌷
Please please please do some cards for the teachers ❤😊
Loved this new range , why don’t you use duckie for sticker for a baby room 💗
heheh i would love to do this when we get our new printer oh my gosh 😍🌷
I much prefer 300gsm for cards tbh it makes them feel alot more substantial
I agree! I’m finally happy 😆🤣
me to my husband, see i'm not that weird other people sniff random objects too haha
I love the Poop hope he are in more products in the future 💩❤❤❤
Will there be a katnipp phone case please Catherine? I’d love to buy!!
Oh my gosh I hope so! I need to send off for some samples! ❤ 🥹
I just wondered if you have any plans to update the standard Bumble Butt pin with one reflecting his current design? I tend to prefer the smaller, simpler pins for my backpack and want to avoid seasonal pins. I like the one on your shop but it doesn't really reflect his current cute design. The other thing is I know you've briefly mentioned digital products before but had some reservations about it which I can understand. The app Goodnotes has it's own store that creators can apply to join to sell their own planners and sticker sets. I don't know if that's something you have investigated or not? I currently use a digital planner that I imported to Goodnotes and often think how it would be nice to have some decorative Katnipp themed stickers on there. I understand if you are not comfortable with the whole idea of digital markets but just throwing that out there.
Ahhh yes this is a great idea! Thank you so much for the suggestion! 🥹🌷
Congrats on becoming a brand ambassador, Catherine! I've seen how much back & forth you had with the upgrade & wish you nothing but success for Katnipp with the new edition. Can not wait to see what you whip up with the brand new gadget! 🤍
🥹🌷🌷🌷🖨️ thank you so so much! 🥹🌷🌷🌷🌷
im dying over you cuttig yourself off about people not carring haha
lol hehehe 🤣🌷
The keyboard is cute but I hate the clicky ones. lol I want it as quiet as possible.
Hehehe 😝 omg I’m obsessed with the clicky sounds hehehe 🤣 but I can see how it’s annoying to some!
Be careful with those keyboards, once you get one, you'll want them all 😅
WAIT THIS IS HAPPENING ALREADY I want to switch out my keyboards with the seasons to match my mousemats 🥲🙃🙃🙃🙃
6:30 What’s the song played here??? I always wanted to know this artist 😢😢
Oh gosh I actually am not sure, I think it might be Kylie Daley! 🌷theres a app called shazam which is really helpful to find artists you like without knowing the name! It listens to the music and tells you what it is, heheh hope this helps for future reference 😍
When you started saying your area population and I thought you were going to say 36. The village I live in in the east Midlands has a population of 450. I've tried City living and I can't do it. Its horrible. Stay where your heart is. Home is home xx
Holy crap that is small 😂😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤ I love a village vibe ❤❤❤
