New Packaging and Update! =)

[MrsAirrickaB]

where do you get your supplies for packaging and labeling?

[mrscrafty100]

@MrsAirrickaB Online from papermart =)

Hi Dani!! Beautiful packaging and labels!! I'm going to order the shrink bags. Can you help me with the size bag for regular flat top and large textured soaps. I don't think the 4 x 4 inch bags would fit, so I was thinking the next larger size? If you have any advise, please message me.

[mrscrafty100]

@oceangazer1 Hi hun! I would go with a 4X6 to be safe. I have even used the 6X6 and they work great, I rather be safe than sorry and preffer the bags to be big and not on the smaller side because they can always shrink but if you get them small you cant make them bigger! =)

[oceangazer1]

@mrscrafty100 You are absolutely the Best. I have always used cello bags so I didn't have to fuss with the wrap, but it's time to step out of my comfort zone!! Thank you for all of your help and being so kind to share Dani!! <3

[mrscrafty100]

@oceangazer1 Your very welcome! =)

[MsWaxxySoapChic]

I can never get my shrink wrap to look like yours they are so perfect, what am I doing wrong????? UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Great Job!!!

[mrscrafty100]

@MsWaxxySoapChic Aaww... so sorry. I started using a heat gun I bought at home depot... maybe that can help you. =)

[mreinstein48]

By the way, would you know why my cold process sopas are not as smooth and silky as yours? I calculate my lye and my fat ... maybe not water inside?

I used one of your soap bar this morning in shower (meringue) and it is very soft!

[mrscrafty100]

@mreinstein48 Hi hun! Trust me, they are not always smooth, sometimes I luck out and get them nice and smooth, and sometimes they are not, I think alot has to do with the F/O.

[mreinstein48]

Could you post a video of packaging your soaps? It would be great!

[mrscrafty100]

@mreinstein48 I will try! =)

[kountrysoaps]

I just love love love all your videos. Your packaging is soooo beautiful. Do you print it yourself or did you get it custom made?

[mrscrafty100]

@kountrysoaps Thank you! I make them and print them myself! =)

[alamo1731]

[mrscrafty100]

[TheFutureprim]

Oh the packaging looks awesome Dani! Real nice job. I'm hearing you on the job front. I hate having to work as well as do soap and plants and keep house...it's hard to juggle it all isn't it?! I only do 2 days per week now though so I feel like I'm getting there but my God, just catching up on here I have to set aside an hour or so per week so I don't miss everybody. But my YT inbox for new vids is crazy! lol x

[mrscrafty100]

@TheFutureprim Thanks babe! Yes, its very hard to jugle everything, between work, the house and the little shop I sometimes find I have no time to really relax. But I dont want to stop making my products, and I do need to work to cover the days I get no sales, and the house does need upkeep... so I have to do all three! lol

I too fall behind on videos, I try to do the same as you, dedicate an hour or two to catch up. Hope your doing well sweety. Huge hugs always xoxo

[elohelreh]

those nails are sparkly. ;)

[mrscrafty100]

@elohelreh lol... yes they are! =0)

[kayajourney]

I like the new design, I am learning how time consuming packaging is. This method looks more time effecient. The glitter in the honey comb looks like bees swarming around, lol.

[mrscrafty100]

@kayajourney Girl... yes it is very time consuming! Thats why I love this.. its very fast! =)

xoxo

[EdensSecret1]

Love it and love your nails too!!!

[mrscrafty100]

@EdensSecret1 Thanks hun! =)

[BuxomBubbles]

Very very nice packaging. If I may ask, what type of shrink wrap do you use? The wrap I use never comes out that pretty...lol. Love your nails! That polish is bomb!

[mrscrafty100]

@BuxomBubbles lol... thanks hun, its called Milky way from Love My Nails brand! =) I got the shrink bags on the net from Papermart, they are awesome! =)

[mjone135]

Your cigar band design is great and you're right, your bands will save time and $ on ink too.I really like it.Your bows are pretty too. I am glad you still post videos.I know how hard it is to balance work family AND a business!I still struggle with it from time to time but is getting better.And I like how you are still doing "me time."That is very important, very very important because if you don't take care of yourself, how can you be effective in your business & family? Do ya thang Dani :)

[mrscrafty100]

@mjone135 Thank sweetie! Your absolutely right... its very hard to keep a balance between all of it, but I'm trying to do it, I might not be on as much as I use to, but On my days off I love to catch up with videos and try to post a couple of mine! =) I love the lables, it does save time and money... I got the inspiration from Donna at Valhalla, I think it works perfect! =) Hope your doing well hun, and thanks for watching and commenting! =)

XOXO
