💎 It's April, so it's time for my quarterly diamond painting stash update. I opted to actually move all the diamond paintings to the table for this video to help me decide which kits are making the move, and if there are any diamond paintings I want to let go of before then. Let's dive in!! 💎

Take them all. It's Canada! Long, dark cold winters. You're gonna need something to do.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

That’s true! Thanks for watching!!

@0224je 3 месяца назад

Just remember, in Canada you will only be able to get roughly 2 canvases for every 3 you buy here. I know why it gets closer to the time you move, you just want to get rid of mostly everything and buy new. (Happened to me). Even though everything was functional in our new house, we decided to make some major changes in the hose. (Gut and level and redo the bathrooms, replace all of the pipes- some would need to be replaced in several years, redo the sidewalks , drive way and car deck *property is quite large* and several others). After laying out all of that money, I didn’t want to spend any additional money on crafting even though I love to craft. You can always de-stash in Canada.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

There are lots of unknowns, for sure. Part of the indecision is not knowing how much space we have for transporting our belongings - once I know that, I can make some more informed decisions. Thanks for watching!!

@jleelee71 3 месяца назад

Take all and destash in Canada for people that can’t afford the shipping prices.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

That’s an idea! Thanks for watching!!

@costaricandoll4278 2 месяца назад

@craftykat 2 месяца назад

I know I'm late but if you haven't decided yet, take them all. I'm Canadian and they cost much more to buy here plus shipping is more too.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 2 месяца назад

That's the plan, at least until I see how many boxes I fill up!! Thanks for watching!!

@paulamcnally4126 3 месяца назад

I have completed about 8or9 dreamer designs canvases, the majority where squares and apart from static have never had any problems with them. Their upgrades definitely are a big improvement though from their canvases to drills, round and square. You have some amazing kits in your stash 😊

Ooh, that makes me excited! If they have made upgrades then yay!! Thanks for sharing!!

@ruthforget253 3 месяца назад

I think strategically packing the ones you won’t be getting to anytime soon will be key! Making sure the ones that you will be getting to sooner rather than later after your move are on the top of the pile. Just in case you need to access them before you get all settled in. Thanks for sharing your stash with us! I haven’t purchased any paintings in over a year. I’m trying to get a handle on my stash. ❤

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

We did get one tote filled with ones I want to keep but don’t need access to right away and it felt really good to pack them up. But I jokingly said to hubby, ‘Now I have room to buy more!’ We both had a good chuckle at that one! I’m not doing an intentional no-buy, but I certainly have enough paintings to keep me busy for a good while!! Thanks for watching!

@patriciaosborn5994 3 месяца назад

Hi Daphne~ Take them all!!!!! It’ll cost too much in Canada to replace the ones that you leave behind or discard while you’re here in the states. Plus, you have some really nice pieces that would be a shame to get rid of before the move.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

I do have some really nice kits - it’s just daunting to think of moving them over 2000 miles!! Thanks for watching!!

@teresakooser5695 3 месяца назад

If knowing if the canvas is a square or round while looking at the box wrote S or R on a sticky note and tape it to the box. The sticky note will be discarded when the outer wrapping is taken off.😀

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

I just didn’t realize that Dreamer Designs didn’t have that info on the box somewhere. I will definitely be marking them from now on. Thanks for watching!!

@DiamondsandDobermans 3 месяца назад

You really put my mind at ease. I’m doing my first dreamer designs square and I’ve never struggled so much or been so frustrated 😣 Now I know it’s not me-it’s them. Thats a huge relief. Benedict blue turns out so stunning. I framed it and it’s hanging in my living room. The drills literally look like they are battery operated-they are SUPER sparkly. I have Melody in pink but haven’t unboxed it yet. I just broke the 50-kit mark. Only 2 wips going. This was a great video. Good luck with your move. What a life changing experience!! ❤

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

Where do you purchase most of your kits, if you don’t mind sharing? Thanks for watching!!

@aldonakoppenhaver4087 3 месяца назад

My suggestion is: make a list of the kits you want to do thru the end of the year. This would cover between now, thru the move, and also the unpacking and organizing the new home (yuck). The rest you could pack up for moving now and add any new ones to it.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

Great idea! Thanks for watching!!

@craftyfarmer04 2 месяца назад

I have not heard of most of these companies. But I can't get premium kits but 1 or maybe twice a year for Christmas and mother's day and those come from hobby lobby or micheals

@mysteriousdays 3 месяца назад

My stash is currently sitting: - 2 large canvases [not started] - 3 large WIPs [temporarily put away] - 1 large canvas [my current WIP] - 3 budget 30 by 40’s [all started - side projects, really]. I’m on a low buy, personally. Not only for my budget, which is limited, but also because a lot of stash and WIPs overwhelms me. I am straying away from buying budget paintings, so I may buy more of the snack size DAC or Diamond Dotz kits. I am also looking into may starting to collect Paint Gems instead of large canvases sometimes since I can’t hang and/or store a lot of big, complete canvases. Ideally a lot can be gifts, but we will see.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

That is an issue for me too - what to do with them all when I’m done. Thanks for watching!!

Love seeing your stash. I'm currently at 75 plus one WIP and 8 on their way with plans to add 4 more. Hopefully for the rest of the year I'll stick to a no buy till I work on a few. You mentioned Fiona the butterfly dragon and it was recently restocked and I did order that aswell. I've only bought one dreamer designs the penguin trio it says it's a version 2 canvas so hopefully there some improvement from your experience. Always love watching your videos 😊.

I just finished a Dreamer Designs Twisted Blossom. It is a small square drill I purchased on a pay shipping only offer. I’ve just completed 4 canvases. I thought I was doing well until this one. It’s not too bad across the room but I’m not saving these leftover drills!

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

The one square I’ve done from them was an older one, so maybe they are better in the newer kits? I’ll have to open one and see. Thanks for watching!!

You have many canvases and they are amazing. Why don’t you like squares? I prefer them cuz I don’t like seeing the background canvas when the rounds are on. What is a Mooka? Dreamer designs, I’m sure you know, is a shop owned by diamond art club. Good luck with all of these. Bella art? Is that the name you said? I could not find that online.

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

It's not that I don't like squares, but dealing with squares that are not great quality can be frustrating. Alphonse Mucha is an artist who did a lot of Art Nouveau type work, which I love. I've never heard that Dreamer Designs is owned by DAC. Bella Art Diamonds is owned by the same people who run Bella Art de Nicole. Thanks for watching!!

This is something you may not want to answer if too personal, but do you have a budget for buying diamond paintings?

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

My budget is always one of my goals - for both this year and last year, my budget is/was $2400. I do reserve a large chunk of that for Black Friday sales, and it includes accessories as well. So if I buy trays, pens, etc - that all counts towards the budget. Thanks for watching!!

@krispypink 3 месяца назад

Why are Dreamer designs square kits not good?

@DiamondPaintingAnonymous 3 месяца назад

I’ve only done one myself, but most of the talk I’ve seen about them is that the rounds are great, the square drills can be very hit or miss with quality. I’ve not done any of their newer kits, though, so they may have made improvements. Thanks for watching!!

@catgranny 3 месяца назад

Yikes, I’m obtuse. What do you mean by one off?

One-offs are companies that I only have 1 kit from. So I don't have a pile of kits like I do with Bella Arts and some other companies.
