Studio Vlog 09 : How I make my Handmade Paper Softly Studio 2020-08-06 | I know you have been waiting for this video for quite some time. It is honestly so hard to film it as well as concentrate on what I was doing while being extra careful not to damage my filming equipment because of the messy process. So, I didn’t do a perfect batch of papers but that’s the truth about handmade paper, they will never always be perfect but you learn from each experience and get better at it. The key to making it or anything is really just practice and learning. I will have some resources and links below for you all. I hope you enjoy and just want to thank those who are offering to answer questions in the comments, it really is helpful and useful to others and we can all learn from each other. I think this is the last of the highly requested videos, if you have any other videos you want me to film, do let me know.

Weekly Studio Vlog 01 Softly Studio 2021-09-06 | I'm starting a new segment on this channel, well it's an old one but I felt like starting over around here. A lot has changed with Softly Studio and as I result, I struggled with creating content. Instead of making things more difficult, I want to give you what you guys have been asking for and showing me all along. Studio Vlogs! I can't make promises but as I am extremely motivated now to film and share lots of behind the scenes, I will try and upload weekly studio vlogs. It won't be like an A-Z of what I'm doing but little snippets of my week here and there. Whenever I get the chance to film. Hopefully, you will be able to piece things together with time as I post more of these videos.I missed filming, missed this channel, and most importantly missed all you guys 🤎 This week's vlog includes some papermaking and packing orders. I had filmed some wax seal swatching of my new line of sealing waxes but the video would have been too long so I will leave it for next week, as well as some Kozo paper experimenting. Oh and I apologize for the lack of Audio. Lots of construction has been going on near me. I think I managed to only have a few shots when it was quiet.

The Making of Kozo Natural Handmade Paper | Studio Vlog 12 Softly Studio 2021-03-25 | I just want to reiterate that my videos are not meant to be a tutorial. Simply a behind the scenes of how I create my products. I have not included every single step in this process and maybe one day I’ll feel more comfortable sharing my papermaking skills with you, but I’m not there yet. In this video, it was my first time cooking Kozo and using Neri (the gooey slippery substance that’s a secret ingredient to making Kozo paper) so I really had expected to go all wrong but to my surprise, it went really well and I even learned so much from just this one process. Using Neri was so strange. I was honestly so fascinated by how it was able to separate and suspend the fibers in water as Kozo likes to clump together without it. But I really had no idea of how much to use. So in the first half of this video, I made paper in the usual way (western technique) dipped the mould only once. Towards the end of the session, I accidentally poured in way too much Neri. The vat was too full to add any more water, so I decided to wing it and to my surprise, the fibers were even more suspended. As I scooped, I could see it was only picking up such a thin thin layer of pulp. So I decided to try some thin sheets by scooping into the vat multiple times. From watching Japanese papermakers, I know they usually shake out excess slurry but I really couldn’t get that part right so I just let it drain through the mould. It did take time, a lot of time this way but truthfully I loved the results even more. I noticed that the sheets formed with this method were much more even and the edges were so much neater and cleaner. The deckle even lifted from the mould so much more easily than with the western method. I was left with so many theories to try out next time. I really want to create more thin like tissue paper or even thicker sheets all using the eastern papermaking methods. Just have to practice that shake-off! Do not worry I am not harming any trees in the process, Kozo is the inner bark harvested from a plant. Here is a detailed article explaining more. http://handpapermaking.net/newsletter/beginner/beg40.htmBecause I know will get many comments about how I should be using recycled paper (which I occasionally do ) I have linked a few articles on papermaking fibers for you. All the fibers I use are plant-based. What I want you to understand is that I am aiming to make high-quality papers, and that is why I like to experiment with good quality fibers too. They make better quality paper than what you get with recycled papers. I also don’t collect as many recycled scraps as fast as I would like. I also rarely film but if you're curious follow me on Instagram to see more of the things I don't post here. http://handpapermaking.net/newsletter/beginner/beg97.htmhttp://handpapermaking.net/newsletter/beginner/beg17.htmIf you want to learn more about Kozo papermaking, I highly recommend Share Studio’s tutorial.

Studio Vlog #11: New products & packing orders Softly Studio 2021-01-16 | Finally filmed a new studio vlog for you guys. 🤗 Nothing new here, just trying to work more efficiently. In my opinion, doing the same tasks together, makes you complete them faster. And also sharing a closer look at the new items in my shop. This year, I really want to share more behind-the-scenes look into my small shop so don’t worry, I’ll film lots more vlogs for you. I also wanted to wish you a happy new year's friends, may all your dreams come true and as I mentioned in the video, thank you eternally for over *51.1 K (sorry for the typo on the video).

Happy mail from Ana + journal with me Softly Studio 2020-12-22 | I watched Ana's videos when she first started on youtube, not imagining I would ever start a channel of my own. But I was always looking forward to her uploads and thinking wow this girl has such a way of filming and sharing her love of journaling and stationery really shows through. She quickly became one of my faves to watch on YouTube and still is. I will never forget the day she commented on one of my earlier videos, back when I didn’t know anyone or anything in this community. I couldn’t believe anyone would be interested in my videos, especially the girl whose channel I would binge-watch. And to share a birthday with this talented and sweet human being was something even more special to me. Thank you Ana so much for the “not so small” birthday mail, you’ve touched me more than you can ever know. October 9 is now a day I look forward to because of you. ❤️If you don’t already watch her videos, what are you waiting for? 😍Youtube: youtube.com/user/isallweareInstagram: instagram.com/anajimenezrkS O C I A L S :Shop: https://link.softlystudio.ae/SHOP Instagram: https://link.softlystudio.ae/INSTAA U D I O :musicbed.comhttps://link.softlystudio.ae/MUSIC MB01FKFM1JBKSYYF A Q :- Camera: Sony a7R III - Video Editing Software: Adobe Premiere Pro- Photo Software: Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop- Papers for my journals: Lot’s of places - Cats Breed: Scottish Folds- Supplies I use: Please check individual video descriptions as I link them there. * For making journals: find the bookbinding video/ studio vlogs. * For journaling: search the journal with me videos.- Penpals: I am no longer accepting any penpalsD I S C L A I M E R :Not sponsored.

Happy mail from Dina 🤍 Softly Studio 2020-10-20 | A special happy mail from a special friend. Dina is my longest penpal.

Sorry for the out of focus shots..again. I think I just forgot how to film with a tripod and I don’t know why 😭 maybe I’m not paying attention to my monitor, but it’s so hard doing two things at once.

Journal Flip Through | Vol. 15 Softly Studio 2020-10-09 | So I haven’t been journaling much this year, and this insert literally took me over 4 months to finish which is probably the longest I’ve ever taken to finish an insert. But I guess it’s something normal to go through once in a while. 🙈 I’m curious to know what is the longest time you’ve taken to finish an insert?

Studio Vlog 10 : Pre-packaging before a restock Softly Studio 2020-10-02 | Hello, friends. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? September is strangely always a busy time for my shop. I think mostly has to do with my productivity and keeping my shop stocked up. One of the things I wanted to improve on this year, was getting your orders packed faster without sacrificing much of the little details. The faster, I pack the orders, the quicker I can get to work on products and just have a better flow and balance in the shop. So pre-packing has proven to be quite useful in my packaging process. I generally do all this before I list products and that way when the orders come in, I am all ready to go. The only things I leave for later, are the envelope decorations and thank you cards. Now my branding and packaging are all over the place, I am currently slowly switching to my new branding (thanks to Stylish Creative) as I finish the old packaging. The colors, stickers are all a mess, I know, but soon I hope it will come together nicely. ❤️I hope you’re doing well. Let me know what you’ve been up to lately? ❤️P.S Please watch in 4K, this is not a 4k video but I found a fix for the terrible youtube compression on my videos. I also am having a focus issue, which I thought was due to the compression but I have a feeling it's from my lens (I have dropped my camera a few times 🙈) so I will work on that too. and hope I can get clearer videos soon. 😭Thank you to Stylish Creative for my beautiful thank you cards and new branding. https://link.softlystudio.ae/661f2 Thank you, Valery and Franzi for the brilliant and time-saving wax seal idea 😍 - @Seasaltedpaper : https://link.softlystudio.ae/661f2- @Z.letters: https://link.softlystudio.ae/661f2 S O C I A L S :Shop: https://link.softlystudio.ae/SHOP Instagram: https://link.softlystudio.ae/INSTAA U D I O :musicbed.comhttps://link.softlystudio.ae/MUSIC MB01RUBCR5J5NQYF A Q :- Camera: Sony a7R III - Video Editing Software: Adobe Premiere Pro- Photo Software: Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop- Papers for my journals: Lot’s of places - Cats Breed: Scottish Folds- Supplies I use: Please check individual video descriptions as I link them there. * For making journals: find the bookbinding video/ studio vlogs. * For journaling: search the journal with me videos.- Penpals: I am no longer accepting any penpalsD I S C L A I M E R :Not sponsored.

Journal Pages Stationery Haul + Journal With Me Softly Studio 2020-08-16 | A haul from last month from one of my favorite stationery shops, Journal Pages. I was on a long no spend during the first half of the year so I may have gone a little crazy since June, but due to the pandemic, everything seems to be coming in quite slowly. I’m not complaining, as I am back trying not to spend again on stationery till the end of the year 😂 So it will be nice to receive things slowly in the coming months.

Art Journal With Me #16: A6 Travelers Notebook Softly Studio 2020-05-26 | Hello my friends. It’s been a while that I haven’t filmed a journal with me on my channel. I have only been doing very short ones for Instagram so I thought I would take the time to finally film one for you guys. It’s quite a simple one and I’m currently trying to use up most of the papers I have received from happy mails and also paper scraps that I have stamped on. So far I haven’t purchased any stationery since March! I can’t believe I lasted for over 2 months 😂 I feel like maybe I want to continue till the end of June but we’ll see how it goes 😂 So, what’s the longest time you went without buying stationery? P.S.

Creative Studio / Workspace Tour Softly Studio 2020-05-18 | I know you have been waiting for this video for quite some time. I honestly didn’t expect to makeover my studio space but after I was able to get rid of the blue wallpaper that I have been itching to change for many years now, I had this bare room, an empty canvas to decorate the room the way I wanted and I just couldn’t put everything back to the way it was. I honestly regret not filming it 😂 but at the end of the video, you can see the only footage I had of the before 🙈. I do spend so much time here so I really wanted to create a space that was quite cozy and warm yet functional for my needs. I didn’t want my cluttered things to show and create distractions for me, so most of the storage pieces are closed. Also, I do have cats 😂. I wanted to make my space feel less cluttered so I really needed to remove some furniture pieces that I had and replace them without sacrificing on storage space. The inside does need some organization as I really didn’t do much but transfer items from the old storage to the new. So that will be an entirely separate project on its own. But truthfully this is how it is most of the time. I store things wherever I find empty places and I need quite a bit of empty spaces to fit projects I’m working on, stock items, or even packed orders before I send them out. I’m not going to lie, I did spend quite a bit on this makeover and that’s why I wasn’t sure if I should link things as they aren’t the most affordable pieces but I wanted to pick forever pieces, that I could use for many years to come and not get bored of them. I wanted a better quality desk that wouldn’t keep shaking or moving as I am working on it, and for it to be able to handle heavier equipment or for the paint to not keep chipping on the white furniture. But I’m sure you can find plenty of alternatives or DIY’s for these things and just know that I am sharing this video as some inspiration to you and nothing more. I’m linking them only just I know I may get some questions. Other than that I do hope you enjoy this tour and as everything was behind closed storage, I had to show you a little bit of what’s inside as well. I hope you’re all well and safe my friends. Take care and sending you lots of love always 🙏🏼❤️ L I N K S :Storage #1IKEA KALLAX Shelving unit https://link.softlystudio.ae/d8548Rattan Baskets https://link.softlystudio.ae/ce435 Gold Handles amzn.to/2LzfWHL The desk areaOak Desk https://link.softlystudio.ae/8311c IKEA ALEX Drawer unit https://link.softlystudio.ae/d33d1 Divider Screen https://link.softlystudio.ae/72d62 Desk Letter Tray https://link.softlystudio.ae/3d82b Wooden Organizer from Muji but I can’t find it onlineDrawer Inserts https://link.softlystudio.ae/140ab Shelves behind the desk https://link.softlystudio.ae/d5234 Storage #2IKEA Besta Frame https://link.softlystudio.ae/cfde9 Fronteriors Custom Fronts https://link.softlystudio.ae/8c7f5IKEA Storage boxes https://link.softlystudio.ae/6b880 The workbenchCustom Kitchen Island from IKEAGold handles amzn.to/2LzfWHL Acrylic drawers all from Muji https://link.softlystudio.ae/f2083 Ikea wall shelves https://link.softlystudio.ae/2c624 Wall hanging rack (tissue paper storage) https://link.softlystudio.ae/e7a0c * If you’re interested in anything that you see, let me know and I’ll add it to this list.

Daily Moments & Journal FlipThrough Vol. 14 Softly Studio 2020-04-29 | I really didn't know what title to put for this video. It's sort of a studio vlog but mainly about my cats and how we spend our mornings & afternoons. I've also included the flip through of my latest journal. I hope it doesn't seem too random 😂. Working with cats really reminds me to take breaks and just enjoy these precious moments with them. I can't imagine life without them and I'm very thankful to have them around. ❤️I hope this video can make you smile and calm you, especially during this time. See you soon sweet friends. 🥰I also wanted to thank Gevita, from Pretty Happy Paperie for this wonderful passport insert. I truly enjoyed it and going back to passport size.

Studio Vlog 08: How I make journals and supplies I use Softly Studio 2020-04-17 | So it’s, finally here! A very highly requested video since Vlog #03. This vlog covers only Journal Binding and the supplies I use. I’m sorry it has taken me so long to film it but things have been so busy before everything that is happening now. And I knew it was going to be an extensive video and I needed to cover as much as I could in one video. So I wanted to take my time with it to truly make it enjoyable for you to watch. Anyways, I won’t ramble on and just hope I answered many of your questions, everything I used is linked below and if you have any additional questions, feel free to ask and I will try my best to get better at replying to them ❤️ P.S.

ASMR Stationery Haul from Japan using Buyee Softly Studio 2020-04-01 | So this video was an unboxing of a stationery haul from Japan using Buyee. I did go over how the process works at the end of the video but I thought I would write a short review here. I am not new to proxy services or package forwarding services so I am basing these points off of my experience. Overall the using Buyee was great. It's always hard to purchase from Japan since most of the time they do not accept overseas credit cards. For this purpose, I find Buyee very beneficial. For things, you cannot find elsewhere or if you would like to cut back on the shipping by having package consolidation. So here is my next point. Having package consolidation is really important to me, I like to have everything arriving at the same time. Buyee offered that service for a fee but when I opened the package I noticed that almost everything was in their original packaging. It would have made more sense to repack the items so that you could save on shipping as well as go through fewer boxes when opening. Using their service was quite straightforward up until the point I wanted to check that all my items where included in order to consolidate them. For some reason, Buyee purchased items from Loft separately even though it's from one shop so they arrived in separate packages. With Amazon, I understand it's from different sellers so it's expected to arrive separately. This wouldn't have been an issue if the interface was easier to use. It was quite hard to find everything by the way they were displayed on the screen. It was just a little messy and hard to view. I think the website could use some streamlining to be more user friendly. The rest of my experience is pretty positive. It was super fast to use. I would get emails 1-2 days later that they have completed a step. So I was pretty impressed with the speed. It also arrived within the week to the UAE! The shipping cost was quite high but it's quite expected shopping from Japan to the UAE. But I feel if they had repacked that cost can come down slightly. They also charge quite a few small fees throughout the process but that is the only charges Buyee makes in order for us to pay to use their service. There is no subscription fee needed which is an added bonus. So for me personally, I haven't used a proxy service option available in Japan so I'm very happy to be able to have this option whenever I need to make a purchase. I would use it only for things I can't find elsewhere or if I want to shop from multiple shops and have them all delivered to me in one package. Shopping from these 2 shops here is almost the same cost of shipping from only one shop without Buyee. So to me, I see the opportunity for lots of savings. Buyee kindly offered a coupon code for $10 for anyone interested to sign up: bit.ly/2R2i65KL I N K S :* Buyee Japan: https://link.softlystudio.ae/buyee* Loft Stationery Store: https://link.softlystudio.ae/loft * Amazon Japan: https://link.softlystudio.ae/amzjapS O C I A L S :Instagram: https://link.softlystudio.ae/INSTAA U D I O :musicbed.comhttps://link.softlystudio.ae/MUSICMB01O2APJQYAA3QF A Q :Camera: Sony a7R III Editing Software: Adobe Premiere ProPapers for my journals: Please stop asking me.

Journal Pages Stationery Haul & Journal with Me Softly Studio 2020-03-20 | Today I’m sharing a stationery haul from my favorite stationery shop ever. This was shot back in January but like always, it takes me forever to get some videos out. After posting this, I feel like I need to head on over and buy more things again. 😂 I hope you enjoy the haul and the short Journal With Me. Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing but just wanted to try out some of the stamps and use up the pretty packaging as they all won’t fit in my main journal. My Midori is so easy to grab and I sort of journal in it mindlessly without putting much care into what I am creating because mentally I know I won’t share the pages online. I think of it as a “junk journal”. Do you guys also keep some journals to yourself? Oh P.S. this is the last video shot in my old Studio. I didn’t plan to give it a makeover, it sort of just happened after I got rid of my blue walls. It’s like I couldn’t stop. That tour is coming my friends, SOON. I hope you all are well and staying safe during this difficult time. My studio assistants and I send you so much love ❤️.

Stickers from Aseel By Sketchbook ❤️ Softly Studio 2020-03-11 | I met Aseel back in January and she surprised me with a little gift from her newly opened shop. I was so touched, especially with the Sushi stickers she made for me. I think I almost cried 😭She's honestly such a sweetheart and filled with positivity always. So I had to share the items she included. Mochi and I enjoyed so much opening it up together.

Studio Vlog 07: Packaging with Noissue Softly Studio 2020-02-09 | I’m absolutely in love with Noissue's tissue paper and have mentioned them quite a bit before. They reached out to me to test out their new packing tape and I’m so happy to have had this opportunity as I was searching for smaller packing tapes that were eco friendly for quite some time and as expected it was just perfect! If you’re looking for custom eco friendly packaging for your business then I highly recommend Noissue. It’s so difficult to find eco packaging in the UAE so I was relieved to have found Noissue. The quality of their products is excellent, it’s so easy to order and most importantly they have low minimums for smaller businesses. They also offer free international shipping! Head on over to their website to know more about them and their products: https://link.softlystudio.ae/noissueOther products used: *Low temp glue gun: amzn.to/2SbMFH5 (I ordered mine from the Amazon UK since we use the same plug and voltage)*Artisaire Sealing Wax: https://link.softlystudio.ae/1a1a3* BetterPackaging compostable poly bags: https://link.softlystudio.ae/dyi* EcoEnclose padded mailers ( I am slowly switching to the below ones as they are a bit cheaper yet still good quality) : https://link.softlystudio.ae/c66*Jiffy Recycled Padded Mailers: amzn.to/3blgzjQ * Mailing labels and previous gummed tape were printed with Stickermule (not eco friendly but free international shipping): https://link.softlystudio.ae/d9585* Packhelp Boxes (I don't recommend, they are a little flimsy and thin and don't feel like they offer lots of support but they are 90% recycled. https://link.softlystudio.ae/64196The ones from Ecoenclose are so much better but again quite pricey. * Gummed Tape Dispenser: amzn.to/38eOgS9S O C I A L S :Shop: https://softlystudio.ae/Instagram: instagram.com/softlystudioM U S I C :musicbed.comhttps://link.softlystudio.ae/hwyD I S C L A I M E R:I was sent these items to test out but I truly already love this company and have used them already twice before so trust me when I say they are amazing! ❤️Amazon links are affiliate links, I may make a small percentage off of any sale from these links.

Journal With Me #15 : A6 Travelers Notebook Softly Studio 2020-01-19 | A quick Journal with me ending 2019 and Volume 13. I did chose not to journal on purpose so I can start a fresh new journal for 2020 😂but I didn't mind as I do use another private daily journal 😊Oh and sorry for the typo in the last sentence, I just really didn't want to export it again and I literally just caught it after my video finished processing here 😭 but yea honestly thank you so so much. ❤️❤️❤️Thank you Miyuki for your happy mail and sending me such lovely paper bits. - Miyuki (Wien Apple Pie) : https://link.softlystudio.ae/wapI will be posting my flip- through soon (I hope) 🙈S O C I A L S :Shop: https://link.softlystudio.ae/SHOPInstagram: https://link.softlystudio.ae/INSTA M U S I C :musicbed.com/songs/ii-the-great-alone-instrumental/40239MB01FFBA6FSE5VF

Studio Vlog 06: Making Handmade Paper Softly Studio 2019-12-22 | So I felt inspired to film this video a little bit different. I sort of miss filming more cinematic style videos and thought the process of making handmade paper has lots of movement and flow that it was the perfect opportunity. It was a little harder than I planned but I got close to the vision I had in my head. It's like I had to imagine I am behind the camera and shooting someone else working and that really helped to plan all the shots before filming. As for the paper making, I am still learning how to make my own paper from the scraps I keep from making journals. Till this day, I keep changing things and trying different methods just to get the paper quality I am looking for. So once I have a somewhat stable method I'll definitely film a more in depth process for you all. For now I hope you enjoy this little behind the scenes of making my own handmade paper. It's truly such an enjoyable experience. S O C I A L S Instagram: https://link.softlystudio.ae/INSTAM U S I C :https://link.softlystudio.ae/musicbedMB01HS1LVTQE8JP

Studio Vlog 05: Packaging Labels with Phomemo Softly Studio 2019-12-04 | Phomemo kindly sent me a label printer to test out. So here is my first impressions of it.Use the code Softly10 during checkout to get 10% off of your purchase. ( http://bit.ly/Softly10 )So I went for their M110 model because I was looking for the smallest labels to print. This printer was so easy to setup. The connection to my phone was perfect each time I used it (unlike my Dymo). I appreciate that I didn't have to use it plugged into a power source. It's completely wireless. The app is clean and has a lot of features I look for, such as alignment and printing images and other elements. But they do lack in font availability. What I also would have liked to see was an even smaller label sheet as I did end up having to cut them down further to get the look I wanted when I used it after this video. But I do honestly enjoy using it mainly because switching label papers on my Dymo is such a hassle and I end up loosing lots of labels as they get jammed so easily so having a second printer for smaller labels has really made my workflow faster. Please note that I am reviewing this as a business printer and not for journaling. I have only used this printer for a short time but I would be happy to answer any of your questions.M U S I C :- Night Drive (Deconstructed) - Instrumental by Twiceyoung- Liminal Animal by Slow Meadow- Silhouette by Veskyall from musicbed.com/songsMB010P6B2MASCAGD I S C L A I M E R :I was kindly sent this item for free but all views and thoughts are my own.

Anyways I am definitely excited to have filmed this one for you and to receive the lovely stickers from @itsjunli!

Collective Stationery Haul #2 : Silk Ribbons, Paperhands & Pipit Zakka Store Softly Studio 2019-10-06 | Hello Friends,I have another haul video for you. In reality I wanted to combine this one with the previous one but it was just too long 🙈I apologize for not showing some of the things for longer but the footage was so out of focus that is was practically unusable. Even the ones I used were not so great and the lighting wasn't great. I am shooting blindly most of the time so I will have to improve a lot on my next videos (with the help of my new filming monitor!) I still wanted to share it though incase you might still like it. I have no video planned for next week so would love to hear what you guys want to see next? ❤️S H O P S :SilkRibbonFlorentes : etsy.com/shop/SilkRibbonFlorentesPaperhands: paperhands.carrd.coinstagram.com/_paperhandsPipit Zakka Store : pipitzakkastore.comS O C I A L S :Shop: www.softlystudio.ae Instagram: instagram.com/softlystudio M U S I C :musicbed.comMB01VUQANYJCAIF
Studio Vlog 04 | the final touches to packing orders Softly Studio 2019-09-28 | Hello everyone! I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! I can’t believe how many new people have joined in the past month. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I’m so very grateful for each and everyone of you. Today’s vlog is sort of a continuation of what I do in Vlog #2. After the initial packaging and sorting everyones items, I work on the thank you notes and just wrapping all the items together so they don’t move around too much in transit. These little touches I feel is just a way for me to send some extra love and softness to everyone who’s ordered. I hope you’re all well and see you all next week 😊❤️A special thank you to the lovely Stylish Creative Branding for designing my beautiful tissue paper.

I am so happy with all the items in this stationery haul and their wrapping was so beautiful! My battery was dying so I did sort of rush this unboxing and didn’t manage to test them out on camera but you will be seeing lots of it in future videos.I also tried a no music kind of video and I’m not sure. I think I prefer music. It just feels like something is missing 🙈 What do you guys think?

I know its a bit messy and all over the place but really that’s how I work. It’s been shot on a few days over a span of a few weeks. Not even sure at this point exactly how long. Honestly, I should have wrote down some notes on the day of the week but I forgot to 😂 I will probably do that next time I film this sort of weekly studio vlog. I hope you enjoy seeing more behind the scenes of how I make my products.

Raw Market Shop | Rubber Stamp Haul + Unboxing Softly Studio 2019-08-24 | A quick and short video for this week. I was looking for circle stamps for so long and I do have a few in my collection but they are more busier than I would like. I really wanted more delicate and thin circle shapes and when I found them on Raw Market Shop, I decided to finally try out some of their stamps for the first time. Now I want more! 🙈Everything was purchased from rawmarketshop.com including Mochi 🐈😹 See you next week sweet friends ❤️

I don’t have lots of time to do them so I thought I would pre-decorate 2 envelopes that I could send out later.

Studio Vlog 02 : Packing orders and cutting labels. Softly Studio 2019-08-10 | Finally, I felt motivated to film another Studio Vlog. I know my last one was the most popular video on this channel but filming them during a busier time is just too stressful for me 🙈 This one is quite short and I was shooting blindly and forgetting to check that I was in frame most of the time so I apologize for the not so great footage and the bad lighting. I need to practice more I think 😂But I'm learning how to film them better for next time as well as show you guys more behind the scenes other than packing. I have quite a bit of restocking to do until I reopen the shop so I think that'll be interesting to film. 😍

Vol.010 Travelers Notebook Flip Through | The Cotton Journal Softly Studio 2019-07-10 | I can’t believe I’ve managed to finish 10 inserts! This was the first cotton journal and one I loved using so much. The cotton rag paper handled everything so well, yes it’s much thicker than the usual paper I use but I surprisingly didn’t mind that at all. I hope you enjoy this flip through and aren’t you proud of me for trying to stick to my weekly videos 🙈😂 Much love to you all ❤️Lovely people mentioned:Rain @touchofpaintx bit.ly/2XVy8mxJennifer @savvysailorpaperstudio bit.ly/2KXqm2IRosa “Rosamerliza” bit.ly/2XDzApBAna Jimenez bit.ly/2IZWWUqGabriela @svitz bit.ly/2Ju7Aj2Brett bit.ly/2xHynDcPaperhands bit.ly/32dRbYRValery @seasaltedpaper bit.ly/32lkU24Hannah @yemseul bit.ly/2JtD2zsThe Cotton Journal and others will be available next week!

Journal With Me #11: preserving the temporary with paper hands. Softly Studio 2019-06-22 | It's quite rare for me to find the time/motivation to film these days but when my paper hands order came in, I instantly knew I had to film. Here is a little unboxing of a few items from their lovely shop and a quick journal with me to preserve how happy I felt receiving an order from a special and sweet friend. Next video: Incoming from the queen of happy mails @seasaltedpaper (ETA never consistent 😂🙈) Thank you for 3K beautiful people! ❤️I'm working on a solution to at least upload 1 video a week. 🙏🏼
Journal with me #10 : A gift from RosaMerliza Softly Studio 2019-06-08 | Rosa kindly sent me lovely items from her shop. An A6 journal cover, some journals and other little bits. I didn't expect so much! So I had to show you just how much she puts into her packaging. So for this JWM I used bits from her package as well as from an order I placed at Tabiyo. I did not film that or any recent hauls for a while now. Let me know if you still like those types of videos too?

Vol. 09 Journal Flip Through Softly Studio 2019-05-24 | It's been a while...I know. 😭I finished this insert mid April and currently have about 7 pages left in my current one 🙈 The insert I'm using is a mix of the both tones (from the soft journals) that I offer in my shop. I created a hybrid from leftover paper as I couldn't make up my mind about which one to use first. 😂 Thank you for sticking around in my absence and being just super nice always! ❤️L I N K S :Shop: https://softlystudio.aeInstagram: instagram.com/softlystudio
Collective Stationery Haul | NovebyVivienT, Feel Good Parcel & Sumthings of Mine Softly Studio 2019-04-18 | A very late haul video from February! 🙈At least I got to play around with these items. The stamps from Nove By Vivien T are one of my favorites ever, the Feel Good Parcel ephemera is perfect to add to my journals or send in happy mails and the items from Sumthings of Mine never disappoint. The only one was the LCN stamp which for some reason is a pain to stamp with. Never makes a clean impression especially when I use it on textured papers. The first two MU print on stickers are my favorite in her entire collection! I highly recommend them. I have linked them all below incase you're interested ❤️P R O D U C T S (in order of appearance):- Nove by Vivient T Celeste Collection: bit.ly/2IEYIbH- Feel Good Parcel : etsy.me/2GuMiSe- LCN Metal Stamps Dried Flower: bit.ly/2Vf9trM- OHS Botanical Rubber Stamp Collection III - Wisteria : bit.ly/2DlOYPY- Classiky x Drop Around Wax Covered Box (S,M) : bit.ly/2Xmrm5B- LampxPaperi Price Tag Labels : bit.ly/2Xilydk- MU Print-On Sticker: bit.ly/2Guromj -066 Lunar eclipse -065 Velvet delight -064 Flowering SpringS O C I A L S :Shop: https://softlystudio.aeInstagram: instagram.com/softlystudioM U S I C :MusicBed
Decorating My TN Insert Cover Softly Studio 2019-04-11 | I know it’s been so long since my last video. Please forgive my absence. I hope you will enjoy this video of how I decorated my current insert. It is a messy process with all the glue. But I had so much fun doing it and inspiration just sort of flowed as soon as I picked the items I wanted to use. I did mess up as expected 😂 but luckily it was an easy fix. I just can’t believe it took me that long to realize I was stamping the wrong number!Anyways enjoy my lovelies and do leave some video recommendations below as I am out of ideas 😭P R O D U C T S : Mod Podge Matte amzn.to/2KuhchLsavvysailorpaperstudio Paper Bundle bit.ly/2KXqm2IMU print-on stickers Flower Series 66-Lunar Eclipse Wood bit.ly/2UQDOgeArtstamped Postage Stamp etsy.me/2IfPRO7Inkbyjeng Serif Clear Stamps bit.ly/2v1ANeqBlack MT Washi Tape Slim bit.ly/2X50eaSS O C I A L S :Shop: https://softlystudio.aeInstagram: instagram.com/softlystudioM U S I C :Epidemic Sounds
Vol. 08 Journal Flip Through in The Black Journal Softly Studio 2019-03-19 | This journal took me longer to finish than usual but it was very special to me. It started during the earlier days of Folds Studios and ended when I had just decided on a new name for my business, Softly (due to licensing issues). I had documented quite a lot about it, from my excitement at getting noticed and people actually buying from me to the hardships of running a business all on my own. It's not so easy and I do make mistakes which kills me but I also strive to always better my products and that is something that I will always continue to do so. Half-way through this journal I felt I had more private thoughts to write so I used lot's of tip-ins and kept my writing hidden beneath the layers. Sorry for the long essay 😂 I just didn't explain anything in this video so I thought a little backstory would help explain things more. Sorry for being so late and for not posting in a while but hopefully I will get back to regular posting soon. 🙏🏼 As always, thank you for being here ❤️
Paper Love from @savvysailorpaperstudio | Paper Bundle and Vintage Ephemera Softly Studio 2019-03-05 | Paper lovers, this is for you.I discovered Jennifer's account last summer and have been obsessed with her paper bundles ever since. She literally curates the most beautiful selections of paper. I just had to film a video to capture her beautiful work. I didn't show everything in the bundle as the video would have been too long but I hope you will enjoy it.Jennifer thank you for always making my paper dreams come true 🙏🏼✨Paper Bundle from: instagram.com/savvysailorpaperstudio
Studio Vlog 01 | How I pack my Etsy orders Softly Studio 2019-02-28 | I know I can be a little extra with my packaging but I'm still in this experimental phase where I'm trying out different things to see what I want to keep or change. On this particular day I only had only one order so I decided it was the perfect chance to film since I can take my time with it. I hope you enjoy seeing a little bit of my process behind the orders you receive from me. ❤️Now I know the shop is closed for the time being while I work on a few big changes. I will update you guys soon on Instagram about these changes. ❤️MB01ZFF7LDBK3QF
