I told him you said so and he smiled and said thank you! I said…You realize who that is that said that right? He said Carra! Yes! I’ve been doing this a while now! 💕💕💕😂😂
Thanks for showing the new box and toolkit in such detail. I don't have a new and improved kit yet so I just have to live vicariously for now. I'll miss the washi and coverminder but I'm looking forward to trying out the new pen and tray. 😊
I have not received one of the new ones yet but had a thought . The box looks extra sturdy. Couldn't it be used to store a few completed pieces rolled up together. The extra length could allow diff sizes. You could put the stickers of the images on the box so you know what's inside.
Im so glad that you did this video. I saw some of those comments as well. I think DAC has gone above and beyond to make our diamond painting experience top notch. Its been so many improvements over time and they do listen to us. I cant wait to see a painting I want so I can get a box before they change anything. I want a new box. Also did anyone consider that they are putting back into the business and not trying to add to the bottom line. Any other company probably would have greatly increased the price of the diamond paintings with these improvements....but DAC didnt do that. I just hope they dont get discouraged with all the complaining and see that there are those of us who really appreciate the effort that they put in for us!
love the new boxes and tool kit. I use the items in it now and old trays and pen I threw away. love DAC. thanks for your video. always love seeing what you show. hugs Billie a
I like the new boxes. Integrating the pic is very appreciated. I have one so far and it is a little awkward to handle. I can deal with the size though for the aesthetically pleasing presentation. Kudos to them for trying to make things better.
I began my first diamond painting time back in 2018/2019, my first DAC purchase was 6/14/2019. I started with Amazon and other less expensive paintings. From the very beginning….even before my first DAC purchase…..I never used the skinny pens and wax that came in the tool kits. I tried, but they just never worked for me. After much research and many RUclips videos, I discovered using putty and a tool by Silhouette called the Embellishment Pick Me Up Tool. (Currently $5.79 at Hobby Lobby) The entire end piece of that “new” DAC pen is pretty much a carbon copy of the end of the Silhouette tool. Right from having a cover, to twisting the end to get more putty to come out, to removing the end piece - pulling out the stopper - reloading - replacing the stopper - and putting the assembly back into the pen. Granted the Silhouette tool doesn’t have a place for a multi placer on the opposite end, but I am not a multi placer user. I am a one drill at a time person. I took a break from diamond painting when I became a full time nanny. I am just now getting back into it because I will be officially retired August 9th…I turn 63 in September. The cost of DP kits has definitely gone up, just like everything else. So these higher priced kits will be few and far between….if ever. I do have some points built up with DAC that will allow me one more kit as a last hurrah! I love this Halloween painting that you showed in this video. Thank you for being so very thorough. 👍🏼❤️
@@greeneyes92061 Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing your diamond painting story! I love hearing how people got started! You are going to love retirement! I didn’t think I would, but I have worked since I was 14 so I’m loving it!
If I were just starting on my DAC journey, I would be so happy with the toolkit, the box and the overall presentation. It’s absolutely first class, and I’d be a return customer. Luckily, I’m already a committed DAC customer, so looking forward to receiving new kits in the future.
Those boxes will be perfect for me to store the finished canvases in. Love it! Thank you for sharing. What painting are you doing now? You said you are replacing many diamonds?
I’m doing Chromatic Duet from Craftibly for and event I’m doing with Mindy and Brandi Craftibly Craze. I’ve gone a little crazy replacing drills on it!😂😂
Thank you for such an informative video. I was a former school psychologist and school administrator- I bet it would have been a pleasure working with you!
I added this to my wish list when it came out lol looking forward to the new tool kit and the new box. Most of my other paintings are of the older style. I’ll say.
I do appreciate Diamond Art Club making changes for the better, then also listening to outdo themselves. I am a Halloween lover as well, not the scary but cutie pie Halloween. I actually got engaged in full costume in 1994. Autumn Spirits is adorable, I’m just a little intimidated by the black color blocking. This is not to say I might not buy it. I fear this will make it to my home like so many. I love the new trays and think it was a massive game changer. Thank you so much for always putting so much into the information and time for us.
I just opened mine of this and it's so beautiful and adorable!!! There is next to none 310 lol 😆. Pretty sure this will be my Drills and Chills canvas.
Thanks for sharing. I really love this kit but I passed because of the size. I was hoping it was going to be on the smaller size. I just have so many huge kits right now.
How would you put the wax in the putty end of the orb? Doesn’t seem like it would be possible. I’m looking forward to getting my new kit. They did a great job, I think. Thanks for sharing.
whenever I get a kit with the new toolkit I will probably never have to buy a new custom pen or tray again. That's how excited I am for these new changes. :D I did a preorder of Art Shop from ms. butter d last Saturday and I hope it has the new tool kit! Wallet will be thankful.
Thanks for sharing. I like the way you explain things. I can't understand people complaining before even trying. I'm so excited to test the new accessories 😃 A good company has to evolve, DAC is great for that
A god move for customer service. Squarer box with the cardboard risers inside allows the canvas to not be squeezed....rounder, less creases in the canvas. And the best part - name of the piece on the end when you fire log stack your stash.
People don't like change, so there will always be complaints with major changes like this. That will calm down with time. Most of my concerns with the changes can be resolved one way or another. The only thing I don't understand is them getting rid of the excess stickers on the sticker sheet. I use them and it seems like a waste to not give them to us. Isn't it an extra step for them to remove it anyway?
@theprincipalpainter never a need to apologize. I didn't specifically look for them in your video because I had seen in someone else's that they were removed. Just assumed it was a new feature, so that's on me. I appreciate your response and am glad to hear they are keeping that feature.
Thank you for sharing like the new tool kit but yes the magnets they should of kept
I love how detailed this review was! thank you!
Great job on the description of the box and new kit, and yes the painting is lovely.
Thank you Carra! Love the new kits and packaging design! This painting is adorable 😊😊
Marlin's camera work on this was top notch! XD Thanks for sharing
I told him you said so and he smiled and said thank you! I said…You realize who that is that said that right? He said Carra! Yes! I’ve been doing this a while now! 💕💕💕😂😂
I love the painting. It’s sooo cute. Most of all, though, I’m excited about the tray!!

Thank you for all of that information, Carra. Love your attitude.💜🧚🏼♀️💜

That’s a fantastic idea! Yes they sure could!
Great video! That’s my kind of Halloween kit too. I also have been using the new tray and pen and just can’t believe it’s in a basic tool kit!

I am really enjoying the new pen and putty also! I have not tried the tray yet, only because my current painting is already set up!
I love the Halloween painting with the Ghosts. I have to get this one.❤❤❤
It’s adorable!!💕💕

I think the riser is going to hold my baggies for already kitted kits what do you think ?

I love the new boxes as is. ❤️
I don’t know that I could handle the color blocking in that one but it’s so darn cute!

Love the new boxing. That so neat.
I just opened mine of this and it's so beautiful and adorable!!! There is next to none 310 lol 😆. Pretty sure this will be my Drills and Chills canvas.
This is the perfect canvas for that!! 💕💕
New changes from DAC I like them all can't wait for my new painting to try the new kits. Thanks for a great explanation
Just got new DPs with the updated toolkit. I'm liking the pen more than I thought I would.
I picked up this kit also, and it just arrived today 😊
Love the new tray!
Thanks for sharing. I really love this kit but I passed because of the size. I was hoping it was going to be on the smaller size. I just have so many huge kits right now.
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! 💕

Cute little kit 😊

There are extra white stickers like before. I’m so sorry I didn’t point that out.
