Testing DOLLAR TREE Stamping CRAFT Supplies - Hits & MISSES!

[@rosef5264]

Great video and tutorial. You taught me lots. I was hesitant in buying the stamp and ink but will give it a try.

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

Really? I'm so happy to hear that! I'm glad you liked it.

Yay! First visit to your second channel 😁 Those stamps are fun for my littles. Love that you tried a wide variety of them, as thinness and details make a difference in the transfer. Totally agree with your findings. The ink pads were a source of frustration because they were unevenly moist. Thank you for the seasoning tip! We've never tried that😊

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

So glad you came over to check it out! I really appreciate the comment too. 😀 Good point about the ink pads and being uneven. I didn't even think of that!

Excellent reviews of DT craft supplies. Would like to see you make a few cards with them! Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

I would love to see me do that too. haha!!!

[@patriciacuan3707]

Thanks for the tips!!! I'm planning to make my own paper clothes labels...this will help. 😊

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marykimble5214]

I didn't even know these needed to be "seasoned". I also didn't know what the clear pieces were or that the "stamps" needed to go on something else. Lol. Thanks for teaching me.

[@BlessedArts]

I’ve never seasoned mine. :/ also couldn’t you put the stamp pack In hot water & the paper would come off??

[@BlessedArts]

The stamps from there work amazing.

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

I’m glad to hear that!

There were a lot of sets in your store that we haven't seen in ours yet. Most of the stamps I have bought have been pretty good.

Best thing to make stamps sticky again is Aleenes stick it over and over glue. If you have a cutting machine like a Cricut you can use that glue to make your mats sticky again it also called tack it over and over I believe

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

Great idea!!

Love this video as I just purchased these blocks and stamps today. I have never used stamps before so your video was perfect timing! Can you share what “seasoning” means? Thanks, from Arizona! 🔥

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

From what I understand, it means rubbing the oils off from the stamp that come from production of the stamp. Makes the stamp texture able to absorb the ink and have better impressions.

[@dwilloughby1969]

Use a glue stick on the back of the stamp. I've had never had an issue with the stamps not wanting to come off the backing. Sometimes the WR Memory Keepers platform is not good at stamping. I find not using the stamp platform is better.

Sorry some of those were a fail. I hadn't tried the very detailed ones yet. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

I was hopeful!! But some were great!

[@marymccloskey3025]

Can you please tell me what you seasoned your stamp with?

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

A white eraser!

[@vil5718]

😱 O.M.G. This is real . I visit one the Dollar Tree store and I bought the same thing Christina had on KZbin video 📹🎞. Be 💪✌️👌🤝👍🙏🤗💕🇵🇷

[@Gothlite-i1l]

I heard that Dollar Tree is going to $1.50 this year. Anyone else heard that?

[@leyslaw]

What's the 'seasoning' for?

[@ChelleStamps]

That flower stamp set at 1:40 is a stolen copyrighted design from Stampin' Up! I'd bet some of the others are either SU or other companies copyrighted designs too.

[@angellove2911]

Yes, they are, and they are not happy about it. I had a stampin up rep tell me they are retired sets, and they might have a lawsuit going...not sure on that.

[@BlessedArts]

I had no idea that they had stamping blocks

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

GREAT find!

[@JamieAndrick]

Our Dollar Tree is getting rid of the entire section of Crafters Square.. blames it on our new Hobby Lobby in town.. smh

[@ChristinaMakesThings]

What?! Oh no!!!

[@KarenErskine-gk5bu]

No; 😅b😅

[@lindanestrud8961]

These stamps are a waste of money! They are crap! They melt for no reason!
