Diamond Painting Seller Review- Diamond Painting Bliss on Etsy

 This seller I can say I am very happy with. They are based in the United States and they ship fast.
      My first diamond painting I bought from them is a partial which I do like doing those as well as full coverage. This seller is also on Etsy. Diamond Painting Bliss in Tennessee and run by Carl and his wife. Diamond Painting Bliss in Tennessee

I had NO issues with the process of buying and it shipping so therefore I highly recommend this shop to anyone wanting to diamond paint. They are fair in pricing and they even send extra little goodies which I have enjoyed using.

Guilty! I went back and purchased another partial from them and it's on it's way now.

Here's my first purchase from the seller. Red Fairy Princess
*** UPDATE She is finished!***

                                                size is 9.5 by 13 1/4 inches

She's not completed yet but I am close to the bottom of her dress and finishing... I'm using a new wax I just purchased a few days ago with this one and will be featuring this diamond painting using THAT WAX yes that's the name lol in another post and possibly on youtube. Or maybe here depending on how well blogger lets me upload a couple of blurry videos. I really need a tripod for my camera.

     UPDATE                     **** She's here and I am almost done with her ****

 Oh the second item I bought is this one and not here yet but should be by Friday woohooo
                                                               Purple Fairy
the actual size is a 9.5 inch by 9.5 inch. The picture is enlarged on Etsy so that you can clearly see what you are getting. Another thing I like about Diamond Painting Bliss from Tennessee.

                                                              Purple Fairy is complete. - 8-6-2020


                                           Anyway back to Diamond Painting

                                            Until Next Time...
                         Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx

Diamond Painting WAX Review- *MetalHeadsDPs on Etsy*

                                                   ****MetalHeadsDPs****

 This company I ordered from for the first time on July 7th, 2020 received it on July 13th.

                                       ****HIGHLY RECOMMEND****

                                                

                         

I got tired of using the pink wax and having to refill the drill pen numerous times on the 2 small full coverage diamond paintings I did. 

So I went searching for a better wax by watching reviews on YouTube and come across one reviewing "that WAX".

 I took a chance and ordered 1- 10g container to try. They are fair in price as well.  

I ordered Rustic Forest and oh my does it smell just like a forest and NOT overwhelming at all, 

they also sent along a little sample of Cherry Sour and my word they are both just the bees knees. 

Can you tell I am happy with my 1st purchase?   LOL. It is a hard wax BUT you can fill the drill pen easily with it. 

This wax works very well, just a light touch to the drill and it picks it up. I use a " light hand" for picking up and placing. I'm not a "hard presser".

                                     Pink Bubble wrap mailer and they wrapped everything in bubblewrap :)

                                My hand is bothering me in this pic that's why the brace is on, helps with arthritis.

                                                                🔽🔽🔽🔽🔽

                                                      Until next time.....

Diamond Painting Seller on Etsy Review (CHI456)

I finished the 2 cups & Rose from CHI456(Etsy) But I won't be linking the seller due to the fact.....

      ****Going to be straight forward to the point then go on to the diamond painting itself.****

This seller on Etsy claims that he/she ships FROM the United States. However he/she does NOT. The items ship from China.  I wish the seller was more thruthful about where things ship from therefore I don't think I will be buying from that seller again. I would rather deal with a truthful seller but that's my opinion. This is the first time I have purchased from this seller. I also noticed that other commenters were saying the same thing and 1 had an issue hoping to resolve it with the seller and they stated the seller was very rude as well. 

Anyway onto the diamond painting. I do like how it turned out but I had issues with popping drills. I didn't notice that a few drills were concaved resulting in them not sticking properly to the canvas. Found a lot of those at the end because that's in all honesty is when I realized some were concaved. 

 I ended up going to Lowe's Home Improvement and purchasing a small can of Polycrylic clear finish and seal the painting. I did 1 coat and it didn't take the shine away from the diamond painting.

                    These are the ones I can't use due to the concave.^

                                                        trash drills below

                                                left over drills. they did give you plenty

                                                      Minwax Polycrylic sealer

                                                          A Finish!Working on framing it this week.

                                                    I hope this finds you safe and well.
                                                      Onto more reviews and diamond painting
                                                       Until Next Time.....

Diamond Painting Seller Review- SanerDirect on Amazon

Hello and Welcome to another Diamond Painting review. This one comes from SanerDirect-US on Amazon.

                                   SanerDirect on Amazon- 4 pack Cardinals
Link to what I purchased. SanerDirect I think are fulfilled by Amazon for most of its products. I am not sure though as I didn't look at everything they sell but I can say the shipping was very fast!

                                        Details: 4 Packs DIY 5D Diamond Painting- Cardinals 12x 16
                                      The size is the actual size of the picture NOT the canvas.
                                                      I paid $14.99 + $5.99 shipping.

I ordered them on June 21,2020 - Package shipped June 25th , 2020 I received it  June 27th 2020
1 day earlier than estimated. I like fast shipping and the fact it can be tracked.

                                               Next up is the Unpacking


They come in the standard bubble mailer from Amazon and all 4 were individually packaged with the standard tool kit, Pink pen, wax and white tray with a funnel end.

The symbols are nice and clear and the drills look good as far as I can tell. I have not opened any of the bags. The images are also nice and crisp looking, no blurriness.

 These are the round drills and lots of beautiful colors. I can't wait to start on them as usual I have many projects going on and trying to stitch a cross stitch project first. I have a few things in mind for decorating. That's all for now..........

                                                  Until Next Time......
                             Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx
                                 

                         

Diamond Painting- Forget Me Not - Crystal Canvas Art Designs- Finished 7-2-2020

                                                        HELLO ALL I'M BACK :)

Finally finished Forget Me Not and I have to say I am quite happy with how it turned out. Very little trash drills and I have left over drills and special drills. Some of the silver had come off the back(bottom) of the drills and some weren't cut right but all in all it worked up easy.
                                                            LEFT OVERS

                                                 Very little trash drills

I just need to make a frame for it because it's a 9.5" x 9.5"

Trying to catch the sparkle in it but it's hard with a craft light and the Kodak camera I am using. So I decided to record a short video. :)

Hello all back for a review after receiving my diamond painting from Crystal Canvas Art Designs.

                     

                                Forget Me Not- Partial Drill 9.5" x 9.5" or 30cm x 30 cm

            Ordered on June 16,2020. It shipped on June 18,2020 and I received it on June 22, 2020.

                                         This come from Newark, DE. USA - Crystal Art

                         I like the fact that they ship fast and give you a tracking number. 

Their designs are pretty but not to my taste. But I seen this one and decided to try the company out since I am new to diamond painting. My sister likes butterflies so that's the reason I chose it. 

Symbols are nice and clear, comes with the standard tools to work with however the tweezers are plastic and I could not pick up any of the drills with them. I could only move them around if I didn't line them up correctly  once I placed them. The drills are round and seem to shine pretty good. I placed 2 different ones and I am liking it so far. This will be picture heavy so that you can hopefully make an inform decision as to whether you would like to try them out.

                    Bubble Mailer- Had to look that up because the words wouldn't come to mind LOL

                                       Wrapped in clear plastic with tools and drills inside

Tweezers are the black plastic that I spoke about above 

The clear plastic cover was a bit wrinkled but the canvas itself was fine and is very sticky!

                                            ^ 2 different drills very little trash drills so far ^

I don't have a way to organize the drills at the moment so they are still in their plastic bags as shown above.

I'll work on this one a little at a time for now as I have a cross stitch project that I am doing.

Also there seems to be an issue with Blogger which is not allowing me to reply to comments at this time. I do read them and I am very appreciative of all the comments and I appreciate all ya'll following me. Once again Thank you so very much for hanging in here with me :)

                                               Until next time......

                            Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx
