In part two of my countdown to StationeryFest 2024, I take you along with me as I get ready to launch my new wildflower collection at the event! It was a hectic few days before the event to say the least! But we got there, and in this vlog I also share my event setup, footage from the event, and talk about what it was like selling at a stationery convention. Enjoy!

Honestly, re your stickers, I wouldn’t worry about the border being slightly off, people only notice when you point it out! I’m sure if you put them out they would sell and folk will be happy. I know when I sell my crafts folk do not notice little things… I put it out, if it doesn’t sell, it goes in a sale.

@SunshineLaneUK Ай бұрын

Thank you ☺️ I think I had so many wrong or damaged items in this collection that I had a little temper tantrum because I was hot and at my limit 🤣🤣 but in hindsight, it’s really not that bad!! X

Is your studio art of your house? It’s so nice and big. Also is there a larger gap between the f and l then there should be on the be a wildflower sticker?

the miss cuts arent that bad..get them redone then when you price them as B grade..what you get is still profit

@SunshineLaneUK Ай бұрын

I think to be honest that I’d had so many things in a row that had arrived damaged or wrong, that I just lost my cool with the stickers! Not helped by the fact that some of my lovely journals also arrived damaged. The stress and the heat combined was not a good mix! But I got it resolved and I’ll save these for seconds 🥰

@@SunshineLaneUK heard, unfortunately this happens, I've had issues too, companies seem to be more careless
