I Bought The $90 GRABIE Art Advent Calendar....yikes.

[@simlover00]

It's actually a good thing if advent calenders aren't fully Christmas themed. It means the products can be used all year round instead of just in December

[@Superfreaky2]

Sure but the last item in box 24 would be a Christmas theme all year even when the little calander is on the month of june 😂

[@PensAndAPlan]

The dot tape or any glue tape is perfect for wrapping gifts and creates a very clean and professional look. A great alternative use!

[@sarah_pings_witherby]

Yes! Also great for collage! Glue isn’t just for scrapbooking Chloe!😂

[@ChloeRoseArt]

Whaaaaat!! That sounds like a great idea actually!

[@wintersprite]

They can also be used for creating collages in sketchbooks, such as a collage of different wrapping paper prints. I haven’t used any in a pen form like that, however have some Glue Dot brand glue dots.

[@paranoiarpincess]

The colours are those because you can mix to make any color you want. That's why it's blue, yellow and red and cyan, magenta, and yellow. That way m regardless of which scheme you believe are the _true_ primary colors.

[@brittany6910]

The yellow looked kind of off to me, like almost more of a tan, but it could be the lighting.

[@paranoiarpincess]

@brittany6910 I thought the same exact thing. I thought it looked more normal at one point but idk. Maybe they did a deeper yellow because they had that other yellow but why they didn't use the same containers for all the paint, I have no idea.

[@our3acrehomestead]

I was thinking the same thing. If I get “samples” of any paint to try I prefer primary colors because I want to see how the paints mix together because that is how I normally paint. And limiting the colors to “Christmas” colors limits how you can use the products.

[@ChloeRoseArt]

Oh absolutely that’s why - I just prefer when things like advent calendars have color themes/fun pre-mixed colors. Just adds a little extra to it versus just putting in standard colors. Some people would prefer primary colors, but most of us already have them. I personally prefer pre-mixed colors in boxes/advents that are supposed to be themed when everything else inside is. Just seemed a bit odd to have those in there ✨

[@paranoiarpincess]

@ChloeRoseArt you are absolutely right. The random colors of the pens and the primary colors of the paints did make it less Christmassy and i did feel less excited about it than I would for Christmas things.

[@eeveetea6627]

It’s not the best yellow, I admit, but I kinda thought it was cool all the paints were primary colors so you can mix all the colors you need!

[@ChloeRoseArt]

For sure! Personally I prefer pre-mixed in a themed calendar but I definitely see why others would prefer to mix their own ✨

[@sundella14]

8:39 Don't know if you will see this Chloe but I thought you should know. Recently in their Halloween bundle Grabie did give AI art in their scrapbook bundle. Other people have been disappointed in this and have stepped away from buying from them.They recognize it's an affordable option for paint in comparison to other brands but not good rep. Hope you see this so you're more aware ❤ (Also loved the holly)

[@ChloeRoseArt]

Thank you for telling me! I’m curious to know more about it, did you happen to remember where you saw info on that?!

[@sundella14]

@ChloeRoseArt It was on TT I first in encounter (seen it on other platforms too) it from Whiskey Rabbit saying they got a lot of comments saying the new art was AI. Randomly they got the user Wacomelon who was the first reviewed the box pointing this out. [After more research] I want to point out that since October 16th has come out and apologized and said they worked with a 3rd party vendor who were the ones providing the stickers and have since stopped working with them. I have seen other complain about AI in the past but I can't find those videos anymore. They have clarified saying they only use it for polisy product description in the past but nothing more. Hopefully this hold true as they have shown their artists working on their products.

[@Superfreaky2]

Pretty sure the art of this calendar design is ai too, i’ve seen another review that shows the back and theres corn on the design… christmas corn?

[@wintersprite]

@@Superfreaky2Well…some gourmet candy corn companies make flavors for different seasons and holidays so there are some Christmas varieties out there.

[@ladydiscomfortlover]

​@@winterspriteI think they mean actual corn, of the cob variety

[@laurathiele9591]

As someone who does a lot of mixed media journaling/scrapbooking, I am in love with this box...this is right up my alley and the price for all the various mixed medias is actually pretty decent...one of my fave indie scrapbooking/journaling/agenda brands brings out a yearly advent calender and it runs 120$ canadian so this one is pretty on par...either way I love this calendar (my fave of the two youve done so far), but I agree this is def nade for an audience that prefers utilizing mixed medias over someone who has a lane and prefers to not step outside their comfort zone...

[@redacted5930]

which brand? I'd love a scrap booking advent calendar!

[@bobbysmith8095]

i DO mix media too and I wouldn't pay $90 for 2 glue dot and cardboard and 1 stamp + ink. Those $120 have HQ paper and sticker and stamp etc. It not a fair comparison at all. Even add in a few marker and paint and I still don;t see it being worth $90. Also for sdvent calemdar you aren't suppose to break even but get way more value then you spend. So it not even worth the value you spend so this box is not worth it.

[@ShainaMakesStuff]

@@bobbysmith8095I agree with you!!

[@christinahernandez9186]

​@@bobbysmith8095your not paying $90 for the glue dots cardboard stamps and ink, your paying $90 for EVERYTHING IN THE BOX.

[@indigoeye3874]

I wouldn't say it is about having a lane and preferring not to step outside the comfort zone - the problem here is, it's not like you can do any scrapbooking project just with this calendar. Even if you wanted to "step outside the comfort zone" and try the craft, you have to go get more supplies. Otherwise you are just left with a couple random useless items. I think scrapbooking is a bit too specific of a craft to include scrapbooking-only items in a general art calendar. It's like if there was a random tiny mold for UV resin, but no resin included.

[@Upscent]

I hope you read my comment, Chloe :) I also didn't love pastels until I learned a very cool and fun technique. I take a piece of plastic and I rub some pastel colors on it, then I take a paint brush with paint solvent (I use one for oil paint) and I pick the color off the plastic with it, and paint it on the paper. Pastels layer amazingly like this. Also, you can paint the color onto the paper, then go over it with a brush with solvent. The colors are vibrant, the color becomes smooth and you can perfect things with pencils after that. These 2 techniques changed my mind about oil pastels and I have a few amazing works completed, including one very detailed cat portrait.

[@roden70]

A good tip but I have a question. Doesn't the solvent smell a lot?

[@ChloeRoseArt]

Thank you for sharing this!!

[@Upscent]

@@roden70 I bought an odor-free solvent by Rosa Studio. No idea if that is available in the US, my guess is no because it is a Ukrainian brand but you perhaps have other brands that produce similar products. Also, odor-free is a bit of an exaggeration because it still smells but it isn't dramatic.

[@Upscent]

@@ChloeRoseArt I am very glad to help!

[@roden70]

@Upscent Thank you! I'm in Europe so I will look into this.

[@rococogoth]

If I was doing an advent calendar, for any company, I'd want to make sure that it was well worth it, because it's a "thank you" for all the people who've been customers, it can bring in so many new customers (because of the products in the calendar or because social media people talk about them a lot) and I'd love to have it have a "special surprise" as the 24th day; whether it's an item not released yet or a super top tier item from the brand. Just because advent calendars can be amazingly good marketing for many companies.

[@DreamiMusho]

I want to make one, but I just feel like it's overwhelming art is huge and so many mediums

[@JayCee33]

14:40 Ugh, seriously not worth $90, I’m sorry. I can forgive Grabie for forcing you to mix your own holiday colors. But the tape runner dupe, the cardboard ornaments, the tiny post it notes, and the odd letter cut outs really drove the value down. It would have been so much better if they included a bigger mixed media pad, and swapped out those crappy items for more markers or paints (hello, why no metallic watercolors?!).

[@edc9864]

I love the dot pens bc I would use them. However, agree with you about the value of the calendar. Had it been 50, i would think differently, but 90 is not worth all the paper ornaments, mini sketchbooks, and sticky notes.

[@anamiko]

The "not holiday colors" are primary colors and can be used to mix any color. Also you can use the dot runners for anything, they're basically double sided tape. Everyone sticks things together. Also the paint pens might be splashing because you might be pressing too hard and reactivating the pen.

[@craftykat]

I saw someone else open this but she didn't say the price and I thought it was nice, except for the paper items. I am shocked at the price; it is totally not worth it. I do like Grabie watercolors; I haven't tried their other products yet. Your artwork came out nice, and the splatters on the first one gave it a watercolor effect, lol.

[@Oonagh72]

I want an art box that each day you learn a new technique, and on the last day there will be a project to complete using your new skills. It doesn’t even have to be separate mediums. It could be all pencils and one day is shading, and another blending. Just something where at the end you have a finished piece. The value could be in the lessons.

[@boryanaivanova9962]

I actually like it. The target customer of this item is someone keen on going arts and crafts. In this case you need a small thing here and there to make your existing collection even better. You can use the paint sets since they are primary colors and you can use half of the supplies now for Christmas themed things and the remaining later for whatever you want

[@wendyalley2855]

Personally this is perfect for me because I will also use all the boxes. Grabbie is very much a scrapbook/art journal type of company so all of these products are on point

[@claire5711]

I would agree but i think they coudlve put stickers, craft papers, etc. The ordaments and repetitive scrapbooks kinda remind me of mcdonalds lol. Its strange not to put a journal you can scrapbook in

[@ChloeRoseArt]

I think they could do a great scrapbook only box and a great art only box! Since they specialize in both I think it would be cool to see two different ones ✨

[@vickydibba4771]

This box seems like they blindfolded a member of staff put them in front of a table and told them to pick items! Having mini items is why I avoid lots of these calenders as I have large hands!

[@annettefournier9655]

Watercolor should mostly be transparent to semi opaque. Opaque watercolors are gouache which are used differently . Oil pastels are nice, they look nice and pigmented. Easier to get clean edges on smooth paper without a grain. I like to blend them with a brush and odorless spirits. That way the edges stay neat.🎉

[@vocal02]

tbh I prefer the advent calendar things to not be Christmas theme (lol I know that's weird)

[@Keiththescribbler0619]

I agree, because I don't want to use holiday themed things past the holiday. It's why I wouldn't gift people ornaments or Christmas themed things on Christmas lol

[@lauraann7816]

Not weird at all. I make Christmas cards. I use my stamps, dies, stickers and punches in late November to early December to be able to make and get my Christmas cards out in time. Why would I want a Christmas themed stamp or die etc on December 23rd?

[@maryellen9503]

I agree that they should've separated things out and had different calendars - a scrapbook, a watercolor and acrylics? I always hated oil pastels but I used a canvas and my mind was blown - sennelier ones are the ones I default to - they're gorgeous. I love the watercolor calendars like the one you unboxed last year - making them for everyone this year and I want to scream right now.

[@MaFFilon]

Maybe look at it this way; 90 dollars divided bij 24 is 3,75. Because of course a few gift tags for 90 bucks is outrageous, but for 3,75….

Those acrylic fine point markers are great for other types of art. I use them for rock painting, which is really big in some communities.

[@j.rinker4609]

If you like painting LARGE, look at Deep Space Sparkle's "painted paper". Basically covering large sheets of paper with tempera paint in simple/random patterns. It's great for Eric Carle style collages. I had one kindergarten class make some, then made some myself. SO messy, but so beautiful. I told students not to spatter paint, but I did, and got paint on my paints, as my smock was unbuttoned at the bottom.

[@bluetheon]

Good quality oil pastels are wonderful to draw with, they're like butter! 😊

[@Rose_Blue87]

the 3 colors of paint are I think the 3 primary colors, you can make any color with that. just like your printer does

[@j.rinker4609]

For watercolors, try watercolor resist. Use ordinary wax crayon or your hated oil pastels to 1. color areas you want to leave unpainted and 2. draw outline fences to paint inside. The watercolor will not stick where the pastel/crayon is, so you can do snowflakes with a white crayon. Paint will stay inside the outlines and not bleed out of them. If you want sharper pastel lines, peel back the paper, and color with alternating sides to "sharpen" the end of the pastel.

[@booklover900]

I feel like everything in that box would be good for "Junk Journaling". Because that uses both art supplies and scrap booking supplies.

[@ItzBlue113]

4:48 it’s primary colours witch I love

[@plumadeprimavera]

It‘d be better if the red would lean more into magenta or would have been just a magenta to begin with

[@wintersprite]

Those mini sketchbooks look like they might be a good size for 18” dolls-coloring book too. When using oil pastels, you can blend colors with folded up tissue. It helps the layers be not so thick. It took me a bit to figure out how best to use them. The gel art crayons are another I need to practice with more. You just need to work for the green paint by mixing it, haha. I haven’t bought any art advent calendars this year, however did find the Arteza one I got last year didn’t really seem too cohesive. There were some interesting products in it but it had paints that don’t work as well together, with oil, acrylic, and watercolors.

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Chloe, Thank you for sharing this Advent Calendar opening with us. I truly dislike oil pastels, but I love soft pastels! When you want a sharp edge or a fine line? You gotta break the stick and use the edge! Yep, I totally missed the Amazon code, never even saw it! I have purchased an Advent Calendar for the first time in years, over 15 years in fact! I just felt that my wife is gonna love it as it is Gilmore Girls themed! We watched the show as it was broadcast and I purchased each season as it was released! I will say that we watch it every other year! It is still our favorite show period! Well Chloe, I am still hoping that you will find a calendar that will be worth the money and not so expensive that you must be a pen aficionado! I am still watching your videos and believing that your gonna accomplish great things in your career.

It's less messy and can be more precise. For quick birthday cards, gift wrapping, placing pictures in an album, all sorts of things. 😊 Also, best tip of the year; buy glue dots, the type you use for balloons in the ceiling, they're very practical for all sorts of stuff too. I've fixed the feet on a lamp with them, and made my Christmas candle stand safely, adhered flowers to a card, etc. Love them. xD

Photopolymer stamps are the best quality for clear stamps. They provide clear, crisp stamped images, after priming the stamps with ink and stamping off a few times. Shame they didn’t have any type of sentiments in them. You gently pounce the ink pads onto your stamps (they look to be foam padded, so be gentle). The dot runner is handy for tacking bits onto bits.

Are the dot runners the same or different in some way, like permanent & non permanent? Both are very useful for scrapbooking, journaling (adding pics or dodads) & other paper crafts. If you do any of those, you go through the dots quickly.
