    Hi everyone,
    We're glad to see that most of you love the upgrades! We've been working on them for a while, and we've made a few changes that you'll start to notice by the end of next month (though not all new changes might be visible at once). Since this is the first unboxing video we see on UA-cam, we wanted to share a bit more!
    - We re-added free heart-shaped pink wax so that you can continue to use it with the multiplacers if that's what you prefer. Initially, we removed it because although it works with the refillable pen, it's a little harder to maneuver and putty is better suited for that. But we're going to give you the option for both now.
    - We made the putty inside the pens 15% to 20% harder, but kits shipping this month will still have the old formula. Putty hardness varies with the weather, and during our original testing in the winter, it was colder. By the time summer arrived, it became softer than we wanted, so we've already made an update. That said, the current one is still easy to use-just trim any extra putty sticking out of the pen and enjoy, it lasts forever!
    - The new pen was inspired by feedback from many customers who were paying $7 for a premium refillable craft pen. We’ve used a similar concept but improved it, making the grip/pen more ergonomic and the plastic tip thinner so you can more easily see the diamonds when placing them. Plus, we’re including it for free!
    - In our next update, we're removing the hard divider to reduce waste. However, everything will still be laid out exactly the same.
    - By removing the tray, we've managed to shrink the box size to match our old box size, making it more economical to ship and saving space in your closets.
    - We'll be offering refillable thin stainless steel tips that you can use with the new pens.
    - We've removed tweezers and washi tape to reduce waste. However, we'll be offering affordable angled pink tweezers, along with a 3-pack that includes ceramic tweezers, angled tweezers, and regular ones. While washi tape isn't necessary with our perforated covers, we understand many like to use it for the border. So, we'll be offering an affordable 40-pack of random patterns you can enjoy. These will be of higher quality than the ones we used to include for free.
    - The new perforated cover will be thicker than the current cover, which is already thicker than other brands, and will also have visible dotted lines so you can cut your sections clearly. We heard feedback that while the current perforations are great, they sometimes don't tear evenly because the perforations are hard to see, leading to incorrect pulling.
    -Last but not least... the collectible aspect. We know some are bummed about not receiving the cover minders, but we PROMISE that the new items we’re including will make you much happier because you’ll actually be able to use them... and maybe... just maybe get free stuff? We're also thinking about offering cover minders packs separately if you really want us to. We'd make them random, similar to the washi tape we discussed above. We removed them from the new kits because we felt they were wasteful and redundant, and we kept receiving complaints about the magnets falling off, so we felt it would probably be better to just get rid of them.
    Overall, we're super grateful and happy for the positive reception, especially as we've worked on these upgrades for the past 16 months. There's a lot more to come in terms of additional product upgrades and new products.
    Thank you for your support! ♥

    Love the new boxes! I will for sure miss the washi and cover minder! I understand not continuing the cover minders but the washi was super useful. I only had the chance to collect like 3-4 of the DAC cover minders though and would’ve loved more:( I do love the new sticker layout and I love how everything fits into the box better! The pen looks interesting but I have a feeling I’ll continue to gravitate towards my nicer pens. I will definitely be trying it out though! Thanks for sharing Katie!! Sending much love ❤️

    I think this new tool kit is much more practical. I have so many pairs of tweezers that I will never need or use. I am actually still using the first pair of tweezers that I got years ago. I also never used the cover minders or tray that came with the previous kit. I do use the pick me up type pens so am loving that that type of pen will now be included. I also love the trays with the lids. I never used the old trays because I definitely need a lid! So I am really looking forward to getting the upgraded tool kit in the future!

    Thanks so much for the down low on the new packaging. I have been a bit out of the loop this summer of the chatter so missed that change were a foot. I will definitely pop An email to Dac. Overall I think the new boxes are beautiful and functional especially with the new label sheet. I was sorry to see pink wax go and am on the fence on the new pen with refillable putty. I’m super happy they got rid of a lot of the other swag. I personally had way too many rolls of washi I didn’t like , cover minders that were broken half the time or I just didn’t like and had more tweezers than ever before used. Since I’m beyond start up I was happy to see a scaled back tool kit and had even voted to make them optional. I would rather have the cost to to the product and simple packaging and tool kit to keep the prices reasonable. As always thanks for providing information. When I was looking for information I knew your channel would help me out.

    What I'll miss most are the old pens. I have tiny hands and fingers and thick pens are hard for me to hold. I use several at a time because I have single placers on one side and different-sized multi-placers on the other. I won't miss the washi tape (I prefer release sheets) but I do hope they will go back to unperforated cover sheets because the new ones keep tearing where and when I don't want them to do that. Thank you for bringing the changes to our attention.

    Thank you so much for the unboxing and showing us the new upgrade. I still do not know what to think about it. I think DAC was a firm which stood out for their nice package of tools and I realy enjoyed the surprise what whasi tape and coverminder I was going to receive with every new package.
    I don't know if it is only me, but the new pen looks like a upgrade for their convenience only. A way to make you buy the puty they recently launched. It also looks very messy. Putty running out of the pen when you opened it for example or to find out how to reload the pen. I also wonder if it is at all possible to put wax in the tip only. The toolkit now is so very colourless unfortunately. Overall I am a bit disappointed.

    Really hope they dont ever get rid of their tried and true wax, it's so universal. I love putty, but I understand it's not for everyone.
    I get removing the tweezers and washi tape and selling them separately, but wish they would keep the higher bag count. Many kit up in baggies, and with more colors in kits now, it would be helpful.

    I like the new boxes! I especially like the new trays. I have a ton of the smaller ones i tend not to use them so thr bigger one with a lid and thicker stopper is a go to. The smaller sheet of eiththr sticker is nice, very compact. I will miss the bigger art piecess for thr sticker and thr small one, but i dont use them i just collect them, sk maybe thats for thr best haha.

    Was very hesitant when they announced there would be new changes to the kits. After watching this video though I am super happy to see the image on the box in the way that I currently use the small sticker so I will still be able to easily tell and see which kit is which when they are stored. I love the idea of the larger tray being included and the pen might actually become something I use. Interested to see what the collectable option is going to end up being. I will miss my coverminders and washi though.

    I think the pen looks a bit weird with the gap between the cap and the actual pen barrel. They spolied me with their beautiful slick steel single placer. But i am intrigued, and think it will be tweaked over time. The tray looks great, and the new sticker sheet looks good too. I typed this as you were showing the canvas, so laughed when you said you're intrigued too 😅

    I really like the new tray idea. I just started using a bigger tray last year and then finally got some of my first 3-D printed trays because those little trays that it comes with are not all that great. I don’t know what to think about the pen, if it’s anything like ones that were used for other crafts, it may not work as well as we think. I didn’t mind the old packaging, but this is very bougie. I am still going to miss the cover minders.

    Honestly, I still think there's too much waste - all those plastic baggies when almost everyone ends up with their own storage containers, for one. I'm sad they won't move the toolkits to a separate item you can add to your cart when needed, but at least the kits themselves have been upgraded. The new packaging looks really sharp, though! ♡

    I don’t think I will use the pen as I’m not keen on putty plus I like the really thin pens. I will also miss the larger sticker sheets as I store them in folders but I will see if this a small one to fit the little booklet. I’m excited about the new trays as I have been considering buying some that have lids and are stackable so slowly building up a collection is a great idea. I don’t mind losing the washi tape and wax as I can get them elsewhere online but i would love it if they sold them separately on the DAC website site :)

I did not even get a chance to fill up my new tray tower,which I love. I wish they offer a choice between the old and new or atleast make it as a accessory u can purchase

    I love the new box the the painting comes in but I don't like the tool kit very much. Theirs only 2 things that I would change The new pen. I have one of those and I never use it because you have to stop and fill it way to often and its a real pain to pull out the plunger and pushing it back in. If you put in to much you have to take some out till the plunger will fit..😡 And the sticker sheet. I like the larger sticker sheet and the small one. The new one wont fit in my 3 ring binder log book. It's a weird size. And the small one goes in my written log book .. Not happy at all with the new sticker sheet...😥 Other then that it all looks good.. Thank you for sharing... ❤

    Not to sure about this. I will try the putty, but I’ve never used putty at all, I really hope they go back to including the pink wax at least, I use that or micro glue dots. The pen seems on the ugly side to me. I personally like the other sticker sheet better. It doesn’t necessarily bother me the washi tape or cover minder aren’t included. I use different washi tape that sticks better than what they included, and the cover minder, was more of a collectible factor for me, because I thought they were really to small to be very effective. The box… let’s just say, I like things to match, and now my stacking is going to be off. I know, petty.

    • @DiamondsandWashi
      @DiamondsandWashi  3 місяці тому +1

      I totally understand that not all changes are everyones' tastes! They did say they're planning to include the wax after all, but I assume it may take a bit for that to roll out. I also know they're planning to make some adjustments to the boxes as well. Maybe things will end up matching stacking-wise okay in the long run! I get it, I like matching things too. Hope that helps!

    I mean unpopular opinion here but i do prefer the tool kits unchanged, the new tray and pen is cool but i already have my own ones, so I wouldn't care less about those and it's gonna end up in my pile anyway. I am gonna miss the coverminders and washi tape because I do use the washi tape to section all my canvases and the coverminders too. If I'm gonna spend $80+ on a canvas I do like the extra add ons aswell. Also the fact they're gonna remove the tweezers and charge money for them. Tbh i feel like they should've lowered the kit prices in exchange for charging the tool kits and add ons as an option

    I honestly am not happy about the new stickers because I used the extra blank stickers to kit up with, and it's going to ruin my logbook if I buy any new releases, and my autism loves to have things the same. I like the toolkit and enjoyed the cover minder but never used them, have more than enough tweezers but wish the washi was still included. I like the pen and tray though. There's positives and negatives and I guess it's just the way it is.
