Just a small tip since I know you mentioned that you use photoshop to resize your notepad designs (im sure you might already know this since your video is from 6months ago) Make sure to always convert the layer where the art work is into a **smart layer** that way it will preserve it's quality no matter what size you put it to! ⭐˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶

This is right up my alley! When I was a very little girl, my dad worked as a Lynotype Operator. He was one of the guys that set the type on newspapers. I used to love to go to work with him on weekends. He would always make me notepads from scratch paper. Me and my cousins loved playing “office or school” with them.

muito muito muito obrigada por este vídeo!!! Acompanho seu trabalho há mais de 1 ano, comecei a fazer bloquinhos de anotações graças aos seus vídeos!!! Mas isso você já sabe, já falei com você algumas vezes pelo Instagram, pedindo ajuda com a Guilhotina, seu vídeo foi muito esclarecedor, agora vou medir tudo com a régua antes de cortar! Quanto a colar os bloquinhos, antes eu também passava 3 camadas de cola branca, mas demorava muito para secar e eu precisava ganhar tempo, então agora uso cola para blocagem, assim passo uma única camada (não sei se tem essa cola aí em Portugal, mas deixo aqui a dica!) No mais, quero parabenizar o seu trabalho, obrigada por me inspirar!! Se hoje tenho minha lojinha foi graças aos seus vídeos! Continue assim!! Sucesso!! 🌷♥ Sou do Brasil, se um dia eu for para Portugal, quero ter a oportunidade de conhecer seu trabalho e você mais de perto!! Gratidão!!

I have accidentally cut the cord of my headphones, and one light brush against the blade can easily cut your skin, so I agree that you need to be very careful when using a guillotine. I love the guide you have on yours, so when I can I am so going to upgrade mine. Great tutorial, thanks!

What kind of glue are you using? and how many coats of glue are you putting on?

@aPenasIllustrator 2 ай бұрын

I mention all of this in the video! Normal white glue and I apply at least 3/4 coats

How do you sell your beautiful notepads to? Small shops, tourist locations, larger distribution companies?

Are these waterproof?.. I tried printing and my ink smudges which I don't want my memo pad design to smudge if I plan to sell them.

@aPenasIllustrator 8 ай бұрын

It’s a notepad, it’s not supposed to me in touch with water 🥲 not only because of the inks but because it’s paper? You can try laser printing instead of inkjet

@AprilWanders 8 ай бұрын

@@aPenasIllustrator thank you, because I'm so stressed of thinking maybe the customers would complain if my print out smudges but I don't have the budget to buy a laser printer. But do you use inkjet for all your projects? Thank you for responding I really appreciate it

@Karla.Sanchez. 17 күн бұрын

Hi! I hope you found a solution for this already. But just in case, in my country, we have what we call pigment ink. You can try looking into it.

thank you, I have noticed that the ink you use for your canon is very expensive! and each color prints about only ~600 pages

São blocos de notas, não post-its :) Apenas são colados na parte de cima, depois de descolados são apenas folhas normais de notas. Obrigada por assistir!

I just watchd Someone else make notepads and she did the same thing when she glued it except she didn't use the boards. She just clamps huge stacks of notepads together then glued them. That seems easier then using the boards

@aPenasIllustrator Жыл бұрын

Hiii! You can use the one that works best for you! For me without the boards markers the paper too much and it bends it, making it harder. But you do what looks best for you, everyone has different preferences
