I enjoy watching you show different products, even dollar tree stuff. You always manage to make something cool. Cheap stamps are great for crafting with kids (especially if you have a group) and do have their place. Worth it for the sentiments for sure. Your honest reviews hooked me way back when I started watching you and I haven't regretted buying things you've recommended. I like the half-tone look on tissue paper for mixed media type stuff. Thanks for the video.
Just so you know sometimes clear stamps need to be conditioned like rub the surface with an eraser and stamp it a few times with different inks. Hope this helps. I have the same stamps and they were not stamping well u til I used them a dozen tries.
I've been stamping for well over 20 years...I know all the tricks! LOL! Here is a video I put out on my original channel years ago, and then reuploaded here all about stamp types and tricks: ua-cam.com/video/nEwUszjrDaA/v-deo.html
Hi! I like the tag...good call on that 😅 im going to get the stencil if i see it. TFS ❤
TYSM!! Had to land the plane somehow!! LOL!
Thanks for sharing your creative ideas. I find that if I use a nail file on acrylic stamps and file lightly over the surface, the stamps accepts the ink better, and I usually get great results from them. Some people use an eraser, but I find that a light filing does the trick. Crafty greetings!
TY! I know these tricks! It's not the stamp surface, it's the design. As you saw, the sentiment stamps and basic leaf outlines worked well. The design of the florals was just weird!
I really like the different techniques you used on this tag. Really cute!
Thanks so much!!
The dollar tree near me is expanding from a very small store to triple its size but is not re-opening until June. So I’ll have to scope out wha the new store Carrie’s for craft supplies. Thanks for the demo.
Fun as usual! Thanks!!! It did come out nice in the end!
Not too bad! I had a lot of trouble with the DT stamps I tried. Your final tag really looks great & for $1.25 the sentiments alone are worth it. 😊
Right? I love the sentiments, and that's good enough for me! (:
I was "lucky" to find some in my store last week. Fresh boxes, had to open shipment myself. 😂😂 Yeah some of them stuck to the cardboard and were defective. I'll just call them distressed. 😂😂 The ones that come in the "taller, thinner" pks seem to stamp a lot more clear than the ones in the short, square packs.
Thanks for the info, too funny you were on "stocking duty!" LOL!!
Hmm, I have learned from this to not bother with Dollar Tree stamps. I actually do not have a DT nearby so do not go often to ones far away. I do like those sentiments too though. Wow, yeah about the rude comments. I totally enjoy your talking and thoughts and telling us things. As far as ones talking about rustling, as a crafter, I love crackling and paper rustling etc. It is a big part of my crafting life. Hope you have a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend. I am catching up with your videos.
I like some of the Dollar Tree stamps some I do not. About 8 years ago, I gave away over 150 stamps, ATG tape dispenser , cropadile etc. Of course, when the pandemic hit, my love of crafting (cardmaking) was reignited big time. Now would love to have all my supplies back.
Oh my too bad…it would cost you quite a lot to replace all that stuff. I used to quilt but I just don’t have the time for it anymore and I never really made much. I have decided I am going to start destashing MOST of my quilting fabric….I already sold a Big Shot Pro Quilting Edition extended die cutting machine. I just can’t get rid of ALL the beautiful quilting fabric though…at least right now. I’m thinking any creative activity I do that if I decide I’m not interested anymore that I should save at least a small amount of the stash in case I ever get the hankering to do it again. Hopefully you’ll be able to slowly build your supplies back up. 😊
@@nancyloomis3046 Thank you!!! Yes, I have enough to last me now the rest of my life as I am not a young chicken any more. LOL
Liking the tag. Gonna go by my Dollar Tree tomorrow and see what they have. Blessings.
The tag was definitely the answer. Before you turned it into a tag I was not liking it. The tag is beautiful 😍
Yay!! I just needed better positioning and getting rid of a lot of the extra all around! Lol! Thank you so much!
@VianneyCreates, this was as excellent toturial. I like seeing how you were as I am not willing to simply throw it out and what can be done with this. It all turned out well in that beautiful tag.
I watched U live on Crafters Companion
and over the pandemic everyone was crazy about you and asking so many questions as we waited on the moderators for CC you were Quite gracious.
Again, thank you.
I think you did a fantastic job, the tag was the way to go. Wonder if my DT will get the new stamps like yours. That’s a new kind of texture on stamps companies are using, the digital look I guess. Tfs
I just found your channel. I enjoyed this video. I love to try new things. I have a few different stamps from DT. I personally have not uses them yet. I was wondering if we have to sand them before using..like most stamps. I might try that and see if the details come out a little better.
Love the tag…will definitely check out my store…great sentiments. ♥️♥️♥️
Reminds me of Halftone stamps. Simon Hurley has a series of Holiday Halftone stamps. Also Craftstash has a collection called Magnolia Drive.
Stamps work best when primed first. Like pancakes, the first one is a test one and never turns out well. The second is better, and the by the third pancake you're good to go. Stamps in manufacturing have a coating. Use the palm of your hand or an eraser to remove it. When it turns cloudy instead of clear, you've removed the coating and then it will stamp better.
I promise you it's not that they aren't "prepped." I've been working with stamps for over 25 years. I know all the tricks, and hardly EVER do I actually have to "prep" them unless the stamps are just super cheap. Acrylic, red rubber, photopolymer...they all have different abilities. The problem here is the design of the floral images...you can even see it on the carriers. They're weird. The sentiments are pretty good, so not a complete waste. I'm super curious why people continue to leave me comments like yours, I assume trying to be helpful...but wording it in a way like I don't know anything about stamps? LOL!! Thanks for your time and comment. (:
@@VianneyCreates Oh Vianney, I apologize if I came across as condescending or absolutely anything other than trying to be helpful. Truly I meant you no insult whatsoever and am very sorry.
I bought many dollar stamps but haven’t used them yet. Thanks for the video and heads up.
Maybe it would work out with a light colored ink? Not sure. I bought a set of stamps from The Dollar Tree that has several birds in the set. I hope they look good. I like the tag!
I think the birds one will definitely look great, it’s more of a line with a little bit of the shading. These flowers were very interesting! Lol!
I'm curious how you save acrylic stamps that do that thing where they get stuck to the carrier sheet. I have some older Recollections (I think) sets that I finally peeled up. Only one tore. But I'm afraid they will get stuck again after a while. I bought a few of the new Dollar Tree stamp sets. I haven't used them yet, but I'm worried they will get stuck, too. Is there another type of material you know of that I can swap out the carrier for?
I agree, some acrylic stamps are better than others.
Yep, the tag was the way to go. 🧡
TY!! LOL, I got that plane landed!
I don’t think it was because they were dollar tree stamps. They were those multi layer stamps that are supposed to stamp like grayscale. I’ve had them from different places and I have trouble with them no matter where they came from. Love the tag.
Nice Save !
Yeah, not sure if I would purchase these, but you tag turned out pretty neat.
The particular set that I used was very picky. The stamps that are just lines work really well. TY!
Hope to find some stamps at my dollar store.
Made a great tag👍
TY!
Yes, the tag was better….I think the colors were just a bit too pale, but fine for a tag.😊 Even though DT stamps are not the best quality, it’s hard to resist buying them just for kicks, if nothing else. And then they can be donated or let your kids play with them….no great loss.
Exactly, I do like the sentiments in these sets...and they worked well! So, no loss at all. TYSM!
Final result is not too bad!
I like dollar tree stamps more for sentiment than design.
The sentiments are great, definitely thin line images are better than any of these other odd ones I tried. LOL!! TYSM for sharing your experience!
Maybe that stamp is trying to make the flower look more dimensional?
Cute tag
TY!
Never saw a stamp vase like that
I’ve used cheap stamps before, but that one took the cake, I’d feel like I wasted a 1.25. T4s
Right?! I have people telling me that I am not using the stamps correctly, that I need to prep them. It’s the design that’s flawed, the sentiments are OK…but the floral designs are really bad. I mean that’s if you can get them off the carrier!
Hello, just noticed this video for the dollar tree. Very nice tag. Also love the nail color. What brand is it? If possible please provide the link. Thanks
TYSM! I love these polishes that I've been using lately, they are the first thing linked in this haul video's description box: ua-cam.com/video/ZWl6gsr2dxw/v-deo.html
NEW SUBSCRIBER
i never thought of using felt pens, to put them on a stamp i so #StampingSunday, if interested :)
i agree i dont like the flower Dollartree stamps with the first stamp set :(
You can definitely color stamps with water based markers, it usually works really well. The design of these weird stamps was not great with that technique! LOL!! TYSM!
I think some of the stamps are an the short side and don't work well because the magnets are too tall.
Not when I worked with them. Stamps not making contact looks different. These are just designed like in an etched or distressed way...and not very well.
If you file them a bit it’ll be better
Not with these, it's not the surface it's the design.
I have tried dollar tree stamps. I don't like them at all. Stamps are hard acrylic. They are not good quality stamps. I would not recommend it but the stencils are great to work with.
Shocked at where you purchased these because some of them are Stampin’ Up knock-offs. Am editing to add that most of them are, and the reason the stamp you used did not stamp well is because the SU originals are what’s called “distINKtive” and are very difficult to copy properly.
Well, that's not great! I did see on Amazon recently that they have absolute knock-offs of LDRS Creative dies. Surprised me a bit bc Amazon SHOULD be more reputable... Thanks for the info.
Those stamps from dollar tree have several sets that Stampin’ Up designers created. I know because I have those sets and used to be a demonstrator. It’s sad that these China made products steal and copy other artists and sell them for Pennies. I guess nothing is sacred. As an crafter and artist it hurts.
Hi, Wendee! I was not aware of that until a person commented on this earlier. I guess these are the last stamps I'll buy there! No wonder they looked more stylish than what the DT usually puts together. Clearly, people can buy whatever they want, where they want...but I don't want to encourage DT to keep doing this. Thanks for the info!
I picked up the set with the pipe and stuff and a set of postage stamps. Same, they don't have a carrier on the back. They aren't the best acrylic stamps. Meh 😕
@@DiEtta Yes, and people will not know but usually get what they pay for.
Hey Vianney I heard DT is changing their name to Dollar Plus or something like that. They are raising their prices again really soon. Not sure if you heard it about it yet.
As usual, thanks for the tutorial!❤
TY! I have heard something about adding products that cost more than the $1.25...so, it must be what you're talking about. Very interesting!!
@@VianneyCreates I have visited a Dollar Tree that has prices up to $5. I must say, as the prices go up so does the quality and selection.
This is a distinctive stamp so it will stamp lighter in areas. It’s beautiful, do not use markers
I have used markers with even the worst of acrylic stamps, and it generally works. I don’t do this technique often, the only reason I did it with this one is because it had different areas I wanted to color. The stamps themselves aren’t manufactured very well, I have other stamps that are similar style… And of course they work much better…think Local King Rubber Stamp.
Please slow down. I had to turn you off and I really wanted to see your art. You speak so fast that your in breathing is very loud. What's the big rush?
I have viewers that speed my videos up, if you can believe it! You can always slow it down, sorry if my cadence is too fast for you personally. I am who I am.
@@VianneyCreates You’re right. I will slow it down. Thanks for the great response.
Talk less! Just get on with it!
TY, Shawnda! What an awesome comment, appreciate you.
