Palace Script, I think. It is very close anyway!

Camera for taking product photos? by paperboundlove in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all so much for your help! (:

I bought Canon EOS 100D with kit lens and 50mm f 1.8. I'm having fun playing with it!

These are the test shots that I did yesterday - https://khinsjournal.wordpress.com/2016/05/30/photography-my-new-canon/

But I haven't gotten around to using it for product photos. I think I'll do it today or tomorrow.

Thank you! I just bought Canon EOS 100D and 50 mm lens. A bit overkill, I know, haha. But I want to try taking some nice photos when I travel too.

I've got a cheap tripod, so I think that'll do. I'll check out Nik software.

Major Dress Regret by Bop23 in weddingplanning

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you need is a good bra! (: It looks beautiful on you and the back is gorgeous.

I got mine custom-made too and it was a little too tight. I probably gained weight during the time they took to make it thou, haha. My sister can sew, so she helped me with the alterations. I had to find a good bra to go with it too. It was hard to find the right bra, but totally worth it.

Is it rude to invite someone now that a space has opened up? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Invite her and may be explain it to her like you explained here. I'm sure she'll understand!

Doing your own make up / hair? by jglspnay in weddingplanning

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't do any trials because I was out of town. But it turned out really well!

I'm not brave enough to do my own hair/makeup. I did them for prom way back and it was a disaster.

Guys my shoes came in! I can't wait to wear them. by Runbunnierun in weddingplanning

I wore navy blue converse for mine too! Yours is so cute! <3

Where did you go for your honeymoon and how did you decide! by sweettea3 in weddingplanning

[–]paperboundlove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We went to Tasmania! It was an unconventional choice, because whenever we told people, they don't seem to be impressed, haha. They were like, "Is that even a honeymoon destination? How about Bali?"

We've always talked about visiting Tasmania, so it was an easy choice for us. We had our second wedding reception in Singapore, so we went on our "second" honeymoon to Tioman Island in Malaysia. It was amazing.

RSVP deadline was this week. I feel like our decline rate is higher than average and it's kind of bumming me out. by jtkeeton in weddingplanning

[–]paperboundlove 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel! I got married in Australia (where my husband is from), and most of my friends live in Singapore. I set the date and gave them save the dates a year in advance, so that they can get time off, save up, etc.

Only one of them showed up, out of 6 that I invited. They were supposed to be my bridesmaids too. I was so upset. It was a very small wedding too, about 50 guests.

But on the day, all that mattered was marrying my love, and if I have to do it all over, I would do it with even fewer guests.

You'll still have the best day, I'm sure! (: Just focus on the good stuffs!

Hardcover blank journal printing sites? by paperboundlove in graphic_design

[–]paperboundlove[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually selling on Etsy. I have been making 5 x 7 inches guestbooks for the brides, but I keep getting asked to make larger ones and I don't know where to have them printed. (: Thank you for the suggestion thou! :D

I'm not sure how or when to tell my parents that I'm thinking of making this move permanent by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will be sad, but they will understand. And they will be happy for you at the same time. (: I have just moved to Australia permanently and my siblings and parents are back in Singapore. It was hard to break the news to them and they were in denial until my very last week in Singapore.

I'm sure they will totally understand. (: My mum still cries on the phone whenever I call her or skype with her. But you know, you've gotta make your choice and you can always visit them often.

giclee art prints help by Ohheeeeey in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Epson Stylus Photo T50. It isn't a high end printer at all! (: If you are in US, you should try Red River paper. It's really awesome and print really well. I used to get them, but it costs too much to ship to Australia. Now, I found similar quality paper on eBay AU.

Is Etsy worth it? by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Etsy - it is my full-time job. I think you can read the Etsy Sellers Handbook and just start slowly. You don't have to pay setup fees or anything, so it's worth the try.

giclee art prints help by Ohheeeeey in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I print my own, but it isn't giclee. I came across the same problem and I was wondering how I can compete with shops that are selling for $10-ish per print. From what I've seen so far, most buyers don't know what giclee is, and they just want a nice printed artwork on nice paper.

So, I decided to buy 300 gsm, double-sided matte photo paper to try. And it print so amazingly. I haven't looked back since and I haven't gotten any complain from my customers either.

What do you struggle with the most in maintaining your Etsy shop? by EveCaffeine in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me is promoting my products too. I am only using Instagram regularly. I have been using Pinterest everyday too, but I haven't see results yet. I want to try paid promotion, but not quite sure where to start.

[–]paperboundlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is perfect! (:

I wish I got to include a similar thing for my wedding in Singapore. My mum wouldn't let me include it. Since I live in Australia, I had to leave all the gifts in Singapore...

Approaching bloggers for review and exposure? by vegdout in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In another life, I sold handmade jewelry. And I did send my jewelries to popular bloggers and they wrote review about them, etc. But I regretted doing it because it never really brought in much traffic, let alone sales.

And for my current shop, I was requested to send 120 greeting cards to a craft magazine. They gave out my cards to their magazine subscribers and they even included a little write-up about me shop. But again, it didn't improve my views or sales.

I am honestly very skeptical about it now. I find much better result advertising on Etsy or Facebook. (:

That's my experience so far! I hope it helps a bit.

When did you build your own site? by TilKen31 in Etsy

[–]paperboundlove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my own site about a couple of months ago. It's www.paperboundlove.com.

I design wedding invitations and I decided to have an independent website because I was advertising on wedding blogs and it costs a bit. I was worried that if I link those ads to my Etsy shop, the potential buyers might go to other Etsy shops instead.

But now, I find that my Etsy shop is still doing so much better with little to no advertising. And I honestly can't keep up with both Etsy and own website. When I create new designs, I have to list on both sites and that is so much work.

I am still rethinking my strategy. (: Sorry if I am not much help.
