[@dorothytaylor4836]

Ordered all three because I enjoyed your review and Beth’s preview. Received them the other day, can’t wait to play with them. I love all things Diamond Press.

Wow those stamps are such a great deal, and that set went by quick. Can’t wait for the interactive wheel tutorial.

Hi Vianney, can you name a few cardstocks we should buy for alcohol markers please? Thanks for all your video's.

[@kmckenzie08]

I am so glad I ordered the stamp sets yesterday before they sold out. I was on the mend because I wanted to wait to see what other craft items are available since I am budgeting but when Beth mentioned on the preview that HSN did not order a lot of these, I just went ahead and ordered and it definitely helped that they have 5 flex pays!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I never use the chisel tip either. I just love the way these are packaged. They got me at teal. But I do not need any more markers. Hmmm. Thanks so much for your review.

[@VianneyCreates]

Thank you so much, Marilyn!

[@DCANOTXZ]

Beautiful ☺️ can’t wait to get mine. I have never used alcohol markers but I took a chance and got them so I can learn lol thanks for all this beautiful videos

[@VianneyCreates]

This will be a great set to start with because you don't have to guess on which markers to pick for the blends. I have toooons of markers and the hardest part is picking the right ones that coordinate. Enjoy them! TYSM!

[@kflickchick]

Is there a blender marker in this set? Thank you.

[@pattylovescrafting5544]

Hi, I’ve got a good size credit with HSN and will definitely be getting these and I’m tempted to get the rose gold Marquise even though I have a purple DP & Marquise. But I do love rose gold. Have a great weekend.

[@VianneyCreates]

The rose gold is very pretty! TYSM!

Such a cute card! I was imagining a shower card but this really cute too! Thank you!

[@denaheck1506]

Thank you. I was looking at your drops there is white marks,did you add gel pen or did you leave the white? The markers look great. How do they compare to Spectrum Noir ? The price seems cheaper 1.25 per pen. I have a few Nuvo (hard to open) & Altnew has a brush, but my favorite is still Spectrum Noir, but I dont have the brush tip & for me (mostly use on stamps) that big Chisel tip is useless.

Hi Vianney. Will you be able to talk about the Diamond Press markers some more? I just got mine. I feel like they're a little messy and the liquid is coming out into the caps. I have Crafters Companion alcohol markers and didn't find that they did that.

[@VianneyCreates]

Hi, Donna! I'm sorry to hear that. It may be that the pens are over-filled or maybe lost pressure? I wouldn't know, but if you contact Diamond Press I'm sure they will make it right and/or if you just prefer to return them...HSN has a 30-day money back guarantee and free return shipping for items like this. I will keep using the set i have to have more info/experience to give, but I've only had them for a little while.

[@donnamodzelewski6923]

@@VianneyCreates Thank you for your response Vianney. I feel bad. I can't return anything Diamond Press. They're too stinken cute. Ha-ha. And hsn is sold out, in order to replace them.

I can't wait to get these markers! And I'm stalking HSN for the Little Message Wheel autoship as well. I think it'll show up on the website by late Sunday or early Monday 1/18/21. Rain and Shine has sold out as well as Wild about you on the HSN website as of 9:08 p.m. EST!

I just received the Diamond Press Markers from the July 12, 2022 craft day. Do you have a blank color swatch chart available or can you guide me how to get one? Thank you. BTW - Love your reviews.

[@VianneyCreates]

Enjoy them! So, I don't have a swatch sheet, and DP doesn't, either. However, in this video I did on the mega marker set...I include a link to the swatching stamps set I use for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joXXonRudqZ3gqs I would just link the stamp set but YT sometimes won't allow random links. LOL!! TYSM!!

[@ginan3041]

Cute card!! I love the look of alcohol marker coloring and these are tempting because of flex pay, but do they have any smell?? I hate Sharpies because the smell gives me a headache.

[@VianneyCreates]

That's a great question...I guess they don't because I didn't even think to mention it. You may have to take my opinion on scent with a grain of salt because my allergies dull my sense of smell sometimes. I have worked with these for a little while now, though, and I don't think the scent is very discernable.

[@ginan3041]

@@VianneyCreates thanks!!

[@MrBrockbelinda]

Such a cute card. I knew I should have ordered that stamp set early. Did order the animal set..so cute. Have you heard will there be more colors coming? I like the size of the brush tip. I wish I could understand there shipping fees. One item I was looking at was 3 dies. 5.50 shipping, then I was looking at the cc collection with paper pads dies stamps and some other things, shipping 5.50 for that set. Confusing!!!

[@VianneyCreates]

I agree, the shipping doesn't seem to have rhyme or reason. I don't know if DP will have more colors, but I can ask. TYSM!

[@normaspencer5593]

[@debbieharenski1467]

Your color list looks like great colors. My colors do not look like the sheet color at all. Did you shake them or what?

[@VianneyCreates]

Please, don't shake them...you'll get alcohol ink out everywhere. (: I didn't do anything, they are what you saw. What do you mean the colors don't look like my colors? Like the swatch sheet I made? Are yours lighter, darker, or not at all alike? Let me know. TY!!

[@andreasimerl7008]

AWESOMENESS! Thank you for sharing!

[@VianneyCreates]

Awww, that's sweet! TY!

[@cathygreear2598]

I was wondering about the alcohol markers. I don’t really need another set do like their concept but they appeared dull on your swatch. Is that just the lightening or do they compare to spectrum noir?

[@VianneyCreates]

I haven't used them long enough to make a long term comparison, so I mentioned the things I've noticed and the ins and outs. Do you have SN markers? I think you can compare the feel to what I mentioned, maybe. I didn't try to lay a good color coat down when I swatched, it was literally a swipe then on to the next color. I think the better tell of the color would be the coloring I did here and in the You're Paw-some video...I'll keep using them and people can make further judgements then (and me, too!).

[@BerniBernsify]

So after having these for a few months I found that for orange I used med orange, Dark orange and Med Brown (as the dark) and the browns look better as light orange, light brown and dark brown. LOL. I mix the Blues & Teals together. But that light teal ugh! It goes better as a lightest for the cobalt and the cool grays. Medium violet & dark violet look good and Dark Violet & Light Violet look good but not all 3 together. Good thing I have Spectrum Noir & Copics too. But I 💙 my DP 😁

[@cherryllhaire4235]

Does the Tonic studios link have a discount code? Thanks

[@VianneyCreates]

I do not have any discount codes for Tonic, they don't normally do discount codes. They have a 10% off of "TCK" but that only works if you are a club member. They will offer you a code if you sign up for their newsletter. I hope that helps! TYSM!

[@vickohl]

I can’t find Beth Kingston sneak peek. Do you have link?

[@VianneyCreates]

It's on Facebook, and I normally don't traffic on there! LOL!! So, I don't have it but you can look for Diamond Press on there...it should come up (or follow the link that may be in the newsletter email?). I was going to grab the link from the email but KZbin may not allow it.

@@VianneyCreates thanks, but I found it. Didn’t get an email. I did just search on Facebook and found it. Couldn’t find anything thru you tube, even though I’m subscribed to both Diamond Press and Beth.

That is so lovely, simple but effective, I love it. Would love those markers too but I don’t know if Diamond Press or HSN are available in the UK are they?🤷🏼‍♀️

[@VianneyCreates]

I do not know, but I don't think they are. I'm sorry.

[@lcbiermannhg4h]

How do they compare to the tri blend brush tipped markers?

[@VianneyCreates]

So, tri-blend brush tips have a slightly thinner tip and it's a little softer.

[@mak327]

I already have the tri-blends would you find a use for these too? What I feel like I miss in the tri-blends is a colorless and it seems that is still missing

[@VianneyCreates]

So, this did not have a colorless blender. Which is a misnomer...that pen doesn't "blend." It dilutes or can "remove" color. It's not like Gamsol where it helps you blend better. So, I have hundreds of markers and there is always a reason to use one over the other and vice versa. I looooove that these have the nibs they have. I was so excited to get the CC tri-blends with brush nibs...but only having the brush nibs on them has been difficult and I find myself coloring outside the lines often! LOL!

[@mak327]

@@VianneyCreates coloring outside the lines is when I use my blender to push the ink back where it belongs. Not so much for blending as error fixing and erasing. But I assume I can use any brands blender with these markers. I like the compact set and tips and cute case, but it’s that debate so I need ANOTHER set?

[@jenniferwilson6212]

@@VianneyCreates thanks for the review, great as always...I have the Spectrum Noir Illustrators, do you think these are needed?

[@VianneyCreates]

@@mak327 I'll leave you to make that choice, LOL! (: Yes, you can use any colorless blender from any company (it's essentially a marker full of the alcohol formula and no color). I wonder if a pointy Q-tip dipped in alcohol would work? Hmmm...LOL!

[@VianneyCreates]

@@jenniferwilson6212 I think that's up to you. I have almost all Illustrators in my SN collection bc I prefer the nib combo on them...but making the choices of which ones to pair together is always a problem for me.

[@robertamiller9096]

You never said. Do you like the markers and ate they worth the price?

[@VianneyCreates]

Oh, sorry, I do like them for the reasons I spoke about and hopefully you saw how easily they blend. As far as "are they worth the price" I never really comment on that because that's up to the consumer. People place value on stuff differently...now unless something is on clearance for like $5 will I ever say "you guys, you have to get this!" Or if the pricing is outrageous, I might comment on that. Since you're asking, I think it's a fair price.

[@susanmiller592]

These look nice because of the brush tip. But it doesn’t look like they have any skin tones?

[@VianneyCreates]

I totally forgot to address that, I'm sorry. No skintones, more for florals and non-human images. I think I even said great for coloring "everything" or something like that. Ugh. I'm sorry.
