The square kits have a light blue bottom of the box with a blue square gem vs the round kits having the pink bottom and pink gem. Patience is a virtue with learning the new pen. Once the putty is at the tip initially, and after some use, if you need some more, a little bitty turn is all you need. Yes, it's refillable. I'm looking forward to getting their metal tip for this pen because I think it will be more what I'm used to. The plastic tip seems a bit short or stubby or something.
I used the new pen and the new tray and the tray is actually really nice quality! If I had one suggestion about it, it would be that the back wall I had some spillage of drills because the back wall isn't as "tall" as the side walls. The new pen is comfortable to hold. I don't think the putty lasts as long as some other putties out there, but it''s just a basic putty, it's ok. Look forward to your post review!
I don't want to be an enabler cause you are doing an amazing job of going strong with no buying kits, BUT dreamer designs have medium kits that ships from overseas and there is one called COASTAL SERENITY I think you'll love because... it's a lighthouse! Just wanted to let you know. 😊
I’m not a cat person, but I 💜 that you 💜 it! I’m not a cat person, BUT I have A Cat Named Poppy because of you! I’m not a cat person, but I’ve completed Diamond Dotz Garden in Gold that has a kitty peeking out from behind a floral arrangement. I didn’t even notice the cat until after I bought it 😂
I haven't got a new kit yet but I saw people in the vip group saying the plactic wore down on the single place pretty quickly. But dac replied and said they started putting the brass tips on the ends for new kits to alleviate that. I'm excited to finally get a new tool kit, but I've been staying good so far! *knocks on wood* You can definitely add more putty. I think it was diamond painting with jim that has done a few videos on the new pens and how to use/swap putty. I feel like this pen would be a good one to have on the side to use for abs!
Hi Laura! Very cute diamond painting! I have a couple of new kits, but I have not unboxed them on my channel yet. I want to check out the new tray and pen so bad, but I need to wait 😊. Thank you so much for sharing!🤗❤️💕💕💕
Laura, Make sure the putty that comes out is flat to the pen tip. It is great for ABs and fairy dust drills. It is refillable. I'm a hard presser, too, but keeping it flat to the tip actually works great. Love your channel.
Omg Laura how lucky are you I love this painting so wish I could get this one. Unfortunately for me living in Australia it's just so expensive to get the DAC ones at this time for my budget but will be hoping I can find on a destash group at some point. I can't wait to see you work this one up. I really also want to try the new toolkit in soooo intrigued with the new pen and tray. Thanks for another great video. ❤
I like this image a lot! I'm not a cat person, but for some reason I am drawn to diamond painting cats. I have several of the cat canvases you have in your stash/have done, and also some on my Wish List. Okay so I'm a person who doesn't like change, let's just say that I don't understand why they did some of the things they did. The new tool kit is a win for me. I look forward to seeing you work on this one and give us your feedback. Have a good rest of your week! 😊💖💛💛
Thanks Kathy! I'm with you, change just isn't for me. I'm not crazy about the new sticker sheet. But I do like the extra cardboard insert in the box and the tool kit seems pretty cool!
@@diamondpaintingsbylaura When I got my first "new" painting and saw the change they made to the stickers. I thought of you immediately. "Oh, no, what is Laura going to do?!" I also don't get why they changed their holographic branding on the outside of the box. Too easy to be confused with Diamond Dotz and local retailers' packaging. But the new tool kit is really amazing. I''m using the putty placer for my AB's - works great! Have a good one. ❤
Did the new sticker sheet fit in the mini binders system you use? You gave me the idea but I’m wondering if the new sheets will fit in it or not first. Thank you
The color pallet for this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a good size canvas.

omg, yes! I saw that one, it's so pretty! I love that they're releasing the smaller size kits, I have a few on my wishlist.
Hi Laura, this painting it’s just beautiful, I bought it too , I couldn’t resist, I’m been trying not to buy anything but this one I had to… 🤗

Oooh I'm anxiously awaiting the re-stock of A Cat Named Poppy!
It seems as though... you might be a cat person in the diamond painting realm lol I'm so excited to do A Cat Named Poppy in November!
Love that canvas...the colors are amazingm.. tfs

Yeah I agree that the plastic tip on the new pen wears down quite quickly!
Interesting! I'm excited to give it a shot!
