Tip for bent Mylar stencils (I sometimes get them like that from AE). Lay in your kitchen sink, pour boiling water over it from the kettle. It won’t melt. Mylar is so strong. I do with ALL vend stencils. They won’t flatten between books as Mylar is so stiff. With the hot water on it, it flattens out naturally and ‘sticks’ to the flat surface of the sink. Lift out, leave on the draining board or pat dry & use!
You are definitely not the only one lol! Temu has so many great items, it’s easy to accumulate! Us crafters need warehouses for our craft studios! There are so many fun products on the market! Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤
Pretty sure Temu is a consortium of manufacturers. China doesn't recognize copyright or IP, so anything that a non-Chinese creator/designer/producer sends to China to be made is at risk for being replicated.
They don’t steal them, those companies use Chinese factories & workers for cheap production then charge you a fortune… Why shouldn’t we & the factories benefit?
Originally I was excited to get such bargain prices on scrapbook papers and other craft supplies, but I stopped ordering from Temu when it became obvious how much they pirated paper designs from other original designers such as Stamperia. They offer cheap, inferior copies of other artists work. It made me wonder if all of their stamps, stencils, etc, were basically copies of other companies products.
I have ordered from Temu a couple of times. I have been pleased with my items but I have noticed that a lot of their paper and sticker collections are direct copies of Stamperia and Graphic 45. For this reason I don't buy their papers. Also, I don't use their app.
Whats wrong with their app? Did the big corpos like Amazon fill your mind with anti Temu propaganda? They'll do anything to get rid of the cheap competition.
My husband & I downloaded the app & got a lot of really great items, but then we both had our cards hacked. Then I saw a news article about spyware & stuff in their app & not to download it unless you want everything on your device to be open to them. I wondered if you could still safely order online. Have you had issues with being hacked at all? I want to order from them so bad but afraid of exposing personal information
The Dededepraise watercolor paint isn’t as metallic as the back of the box shows. It is just ok paint …meh. The Seami paint is much better in my opinion
Off Temu topic, but like, it seems like you don’t like pumpkin spice… you don’t HAVE to have it. It’s like…I don’t have to stop wearing white after Labor Day…so I don’t. lol. Be nice to yourself, get your fave flavor even after PS comes back❤
Definitely swatch/label your watercolors wherever they come from. What they look like in the pan and what appears on paper may look like two different colors. Morandi was the name of an artist, Georgio Morandi - a fellow art student friend of mine in college was obsessed with his work. I have two gripes about Temu - their packaging and their carrier. I had several packages waylaid by delivery to the wrong house or not at all. Customer service was good but a bit trying. The way they jam everything into one bag is poor. Many items I wanted to give as gifts were in boxes, etc. that were quite smushed. That said, Temu does have an excellent variety of items at a good price. Just don't use their app which is tied to the Chinese government.
I love your comment! Thank you! Absolutely agree with all of the above! There is definitely room for improvement in the way of packaging /labeling. Sometimes I forget what I ordered/ how much of an item comes in a roll or how many pieces are in a pack. I appreciate you!
"Just don't use their app which is tied to the Chinese government." Your evidence? Ah, right: "Trust me, bro". Oh, maybe you should also get rid of TikTok, RUclips, Google, E-bay, Amazonia, F-book, etc. Because they all collect your data as well. Also, the delivery service may be shit in your country. Here in Germany we get Temu stuff delivered via DHL. I never got anything deliverd to the wrong address or damaged or anything. DHL is pretty much one of the best and most reliable delivery services here. Cheers.
Tip for paper making that I learned probably 25 plus years ago... take dryer lint of different colors, put it in a blender specifically used for crafts, not for food... add a little water to get a good mixture, blend. It will take a few times to get the hang of it. Take mixture out of blender, spread out on different sizes on plastic mats, let completely dry. There you go!!
@kristinenickley1755, I've heard about using dryer lint. I also am gathering what is needed to begin needle felting. My concern with both of these is that I rescue dogs. I have a full house, including a couple of rescues that will be fostered, or adopted.So...I have quite the pool of shed dog fur that I exist in. I could felt an entire 'Northern black lab just from the fur he sheds daily. Is there a way to deal with dog fur just randomly ending up in my handmade paper or felted projects?
I started shopping at AliExpress and noticed that some of the items were sold on the app and within the year America started selling the same products at way more than I paid for mine? Everything comes from China anyway so this country is marking it up!! I have also bought from Temu. Thank you ❤
American companies are the ones paying for research and development and producing their products. It's Ali Express and Temu who pirate their designs. Ask Gina K how it feels to work hard on designing and creating quality products to have them stolen and sold for pennies
That is a very popular request and will be my next video for sure! Subscribe and ring the bell for notifications so you’ll be alerted when that video goes up. Thank you so much for your support! ❤❤❤
Sometimes the instruction manuals are on the actual site. There are links attached in the product description. Had to download a manual for hearing aids I purchased for my husband.
I bought a ton of crafting supplies mostly scrapbook stuff from a friend for $40. I would never buy that China garbage. My friend has a thrift store. I have gotten so many craft supplies from her. Keep it home.
I haven’t put it fully to the test, but the few times I sampled it, it was decent compared to my Fiskars! I will be using it more and have a better opinion soon! 😊
Your paper-making kit reminded me of when the 1st grade classroom for gifted kids that I worked in made their own paper. It was very fun! I seem to recall we added chunky glitter or small sequins. That was about 25 years ago. 😮 In reference to the old book pages - I ordered these, too. I put a layer of clear watercolor ground by Daniel Smith on them with a brayer. (Clear gesso will also work). Then I watercolor on them - a few flowers, birds, or folk/abstract designs with black pen details. 🙂Not sure what I'm going to do with them, though. I just have fun painting them! 😅
I bought the regular size scoreboard and it was junk ! The markings were off, lines way narrower than my old Martha Stewart .I threw it away after numerous attempts to use it and bought one at Michaels. All problems solved. However, all the dies and sets have cut great with the exception of a banner set. Wouldn't cut at all.
Good to know about the scoreboard! I bought some die cuts and embossing folders recently, but haven’t tried them yet! Looking forward to trying them if you have had success with them!
The ring on the back of the watercolour cases arent so you can stand them up, but to put your thumb or finger through if your painting on the go outside
I remember the wooden alphabet block phase when all the craft stores had them. They didn't hang around because they're a pain to use and to keep lined up.
The 3 pack of stencils that look wonky might be a three layered mushroom. Ones the cap, then the stem and finally the spots on the cap. It really does look cool when theyre done!
I love your brother! He has awesome hands 😂 and I hope we see more of him soon! As a huge Temu fan I really appreciated your video and I’ve subscribed!!
Thank you so much Gina! My brother is a hoot! I let him know the compliment and says “thank you!” His hands will be in another upcoming video, so something to look forward to! Haha I’m so happy you enjoyed the haul, and THANK YOU SO MUCH for subscribing! It means so much to me! ❤❤❤
just a hopefully helpful tip to store your stencils; I am addicted to them, too, slip them into page protectors in a binder, makes them easy to flip through, see what you have, and find what you need! it's a good way to store the sticker sheets as well. maybe divided by subject or season
@@LindsaysCraftCorner also... the stencil you showed just at 10:00 is a layered mushroom stencil... however I can see how you could use them individually also as just designs! I use stencils for embossing paste also... thanks for a wonderful video of your Temu Haul!
Ooh that is a fabulous question! I will be doing a review on the fiskars vs Temu trimmer. I’ve been trialing them both. I will definitely try that out and let you know! ❤

My problem with their papers I that they are small. Wish they has some larger sizes (8 1/2 x 11)
I'm out growing my craft space too because all the stuff I'm ordering from Temu I know I'm not the only one that's addicted to Temu lol
You are definitely not the only one lol! Temu has so many great items, it’s easy to accumulate! Us crafters need warehouses for our craft studios! There are so many fun products on the market! Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤
Pretty sure that IS a Tim Holtz stencil rip-off. Temu is notorious for stealing and replicating artists designs.
Thank you for commenting!

Completely understandable!

I use quick shots from my heat gun to flatten my bent stuff. 😊
Thank you so much for your tip!
Would be helpful to include prices of the items you are show casing.
Thank you Cheryl! Definitely will include that for any future videos of this type ❤❤❤

@@genakovach6008 I have never used their app, I just order on line. I haven't had any issues. Also, I don't use cards, just PayPal.
I don’t use the app, and I only use PayPal. I have bought loads from Temu and have no problems 🤞

To make paper, it's easy. All you need is paper, blender and water.
It’s so cool and love the simplicity of it. I’ve tried my hand at making paper a couple times now and I’m hooked on a paper making journey! ❤❤❤
So - no paint comparisons, yet? Are there still plans to make one or not?
