Watercolor Swatch Stamp Review - Waffle Flower

[@mindofwatercolor]

I apologize for the standard resolution playback. I always upload full HD videos but somehow this one did not convert properly.

[@amayamocha1567]

I was so taken by surprise by the Scripture at the end of this video. Well done! What a lovely surprise, and a wonderful way to touch the hearts of both believers and seekers! - Love it!

[@TheresaPetermann]

what a smart, smart woman to do something that will appeal to painters, card makers and crafters. on my wish list as I do all these things. thanks as always for sharing.

[@beckygreen3733]

BEAUTIFUL JOB! I've SO ENJOYED watching & hearing your thoughts, & you giving us little tips about this stamp set & water coloring! I've found everyone on this hop has given us little tips that others have over-looked & now it all comes together! SUCH A SUPER JOB in featuring these stamp sets & dies for Nina! THANK YOU Steve!

[@valeriegirvin7939]

Ah, yes Steve that’s how it starts, “oh, I don’t really need a die cutter/stamp positioner/paper trimmer etc. etc. etc.” but then one day you turn around and there they all are in your art room! 😂😂. Great video. I don’t really do a lot of swatching but.............

[@FreeSpokenOne]

Isn't that the truth! I stopped the whole crafting thing some time ago for this very reason.

[@ChrissieNicely]

TRUTH!!

[@mindofwatercolor]

LOL! I know. I can feel the draw already. I don't really craft hardly at all and I can feel the vortex pulling me in.

[@lauradains2734]

Next thing we know there will be a mind of watercolor stamp line. Take a look at Art Impressions Watercolor sets and you'll see what I mean.

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

Vortex is the right word! LOL

[@HandmadeByLinanne]

I definitely needed these, and they will soon be in my hot little hands! I immediately knew they’d fly out of Waffle Flower’s store! Nina did a brilliant job designing these awesome sets! Her engineering degree, passion for crafting, and newfound love of watercolor are a perfect mesh! Great review Steve!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Finally the crafters and artist are melding... love it! TFS Steve! It’s an easy format to Sadie Saves the Day’s swatch cards.

[@raed3063]

These stamps are a brilliant idea! Great review. I’ll certainly add them to my shopping list. Thanks Steve 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@timeenuf4200]

Geez I watch her site all the time and I didn't know she had these stamps. There is great value in collaboration, n'est pas? Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. It's so very, very helpful.

[@noelr.6276]

These are amazing! I had previously made handout stencils to speed up the creation of swatch cards, but this would make the process even faster. Thanks for reviewing!

[@aptwalker2009]

Aha...thank YOU. I've been looking at these for awhile and couldn't make up my mind. This has helped greatly. Thanks again.

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

What a great invention, I love it. Thanks for sharing this Steve. 💞💫

[@thefrugalcrafter]

oh my goodness!I need these!!!!!

[@mindofwatercolor]

😂

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

😍

[@cassiescreations9828]

We were all wondering how long it would be until Lindsey saw these ...

[@artycraftyalchemy]

I hear that! Totally drool worthy!

[@ChrissieNicely]

Plus, you have the die cutting machine already! :D

[@susanhamilton1822]

Welcome to my world Steve. These stamps are a great idea and you did fabulous with your stamping. :) I got a kick out of this one. Ha ha

[@hemjoo]

I was thinking to myself these stamp sets are not necessary but you have made them seem so helpful. Who doesn’t love a ‘perfect’ looking swatch card of colours? 😃

[@Gwendolynwatercolors]

I'm a cardmaker & beginner painter and I was thrilled to see you review these stamps. I'm going to get them now!

[@Windkisssed]

What an awesome hybrid tool!! I do have a die cutting machine and this seems very appealing! The lengths I have gone to create nice looking swatches..... this takes so much work out of it!! Very cool... Thanks Steve for demo-ing this!! Lauri

[@MadameM.]

I see Crow on your shirt. Didn’t think I could like you more - but I do. Love your channel - my favorite.

[@dotalinadavis7557]

It’s so nice to see how “real” painters do things! Great stamps to set up uniform swatches one has to look at on a day to day basis. What a delight to see the scripture at the end, not only sharing similar art bents but the H S as well. Double joy!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

You really sold this very well Steve ! Waffle Flower did well by reaching out to you !

[@alisonhendry2928]

Ahhh how nice someone just saved me from the stress of drawing straight lines with a ruler over and over and over. Hate that and I still don’t get it right. I am going to love these! Swatching has helped force me to LEARN my colours, not just go with my gut. It was tedious at first, but now I use swatching for playtime, have fun and become more familiar with what my colours can do. Win win. Than’s Steve you are always enjoyable.

[@amyt6254]

I am a crafter that has been interested in this product. Excellent review! I’m definitely going to buy these stamps now. Thank you!

[@StudioChix]

I saw your video and immediately ordered the stamp swatching kit as I was in the middle of setting up a swatch sheet for a friend's birthday surprise. Alas, when the kit arrived the swatch sizes were too small to be useful to me. I would emphasize that Waffle Flower stamps are always excellent quality; however, I may not be the only watercolorist who prefers a larger size swatch. I also posted my review on Waffle Flower's U Tube video. Not wanting to be negative, but simply alerting others to my problem.

[@TheMer1122]

These would be awesome for preparing materials for a watercolor painting class.

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

Yes, Yes! Great for teaching basic color theories! ;)

[@MDCampbell]

Lindsay is right - these are a NEED, not a want! For sure! How great are these? I can see using these for a whole range of products, beyond watercolor. I'd use them for ink charts, colored pencil & watercolor pencil charts, paint charts, marker charts, etc. (you did a bit on that in the video at about 12:05 with Copics). Kudos to you for stepping into the crafting realm to give these a go. And good for Waffle Flower for putting these on the market! I'm overwhelmed by the whole crafting product field, as there is just SO much to explore! I used to do stamping - before the internet - when I wanted to make clip art. It was great, but I lost interest and gave away most of my supplies. These, however, like I said, are so applicable to other uses. Thank you for the solid review and yes, I love both Delft Blue AND that tee shirt! Croooooooooow! Stay well, Steve & Reese! :)

[@mindofwatercolor]

Robot Role Call......!!! Thanks Mark appreciate the enthusiasm for these. I think you're absolutely right.!

[@kellywilson2147]

Wow! I love these stamps and will definitely buy them! I think you did an awesome job with your stamping demo! Thanks for showing this new product and showing us how you would use it!

[@stephanieflanders3219]

OMG!! Love your shirt! MST3K from back in the day 😀. Thank you for reviewing this stamp set through the eyes of an artist, very useful info.

[@azzuparis]

Those stamps are so cool. They would made swatch time easier and fun! Thanks for sharing this video, Steve 😊

[@InLiquidColor]

Oh the time this could have saved me haha. I may be interested in picking up a couple of them. I always wished I could use Sade's swatch card template but my printer doesn't have waterproof ink. I won't be redoing all of my swatches anytime soon, but maybe I could find a place on my existing one for the transparency information, etc. line I think I saw by itself :) I also love those palette charts! Thanks for sharing these Steve. I'm sure they'll be a valuable resource for many.

[@mindofwatercolor]

LOL! I know right?. I though about you when i saw these but then I thought of the monumental task of replacing all those binders pages you had. This might actually make me a decent swatcher. My swatching is all over the place.

[@peggyblack8204]

In Liquid Color Yy

[@OtoKano]

These stamps are so useful! I love the color wheel one in particular. Thanks for introducing these to us Steve :)

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yeah the color wheel looks like it would be fun to play with.

[@denaheck1506]

Hope you do a video on the color wheel. That was what I was most interested in you doing. Mostly to get your take on it. I hate trying to draw them, very hard to get triangles equal, for me. But I 'm concerned with size of it, if its useful? Pretty small 4x4 prox, can you really evaluate on that scale? Great for markers & gell pens etc, but paint swatches that tiny not sure usefullness. I really want this product too, but everything tot cost $140 prox, if you own die cut machine. The single tag is great & would be wonderful with old fashion punch. Die cutting each square ATC with hole is time consumung. Papercutter & hole punch way faster. A real punch for this one may exist ?? Much faster for multiple cuts. Great video, heard mothing negative from a painter usefullness, so far.

[@mindofwatercolor]

You're in luck, I'm working on that episode right now. Its going up next. Meaning the color wheel.

[@sarahjoseph6616]

Oh exciting! I love stamping and watercolors. I stumbled upon your videos while searching watercolor pencils. I love your teaching style. I have learned so much in the past couple days! Thanks for sharing your knowlage! :)

[@tracylj5128]

I ordered and just received the color swatch stamp and the color wheel stamp yesterday! I’m in the middle of doing Christmas cards, but as soon as I am done I am going to start swatching all of my colors! Thanks for the great tip on this product.

[@amandafullan5917]

Thank you for reviewing these! I just got the swatch stamp and did them for all of the paint colors I have and it's SO handy for a quick reference!

[@karinajohannessen103]

I’m a card maker and I have also the cutting machine to the dies. 😊 and I are new in watercolor, love the new world in watercolor, but unfortunately I can not buy all the wonderful stamps and dies because I live in denmark and we only can buy for $12 before customs and tax. But thank you for showing that they are outthere, maby the whole set comes to denmark some day. 😊 Thank for all the videos you upload, seeing them all and love the way you show how to do it.

[@lisamiller8174]

These are brilliant! And, yes, they are great for practice\skill building. I do watercolor and papercrafting, and these would be so useful.

[@jisuki6731]

Very cool and so helpful! The stamps do help things stay organized. Definitely going to get some of these. Thank you Steve!

[@24get24give]

I am a card maker, I think you did pretty well for a newbie, and your explanation of how to use the charts was much better than waffle flower's, so thanks for that!

[@Strangelycreativecards]

Love this stamp set and the organization it will bring to my craft room!

[@EveBolt]

How did I not see this video until much later?! Is KZbin hiding videos from me?! I love all these super useful stamps!! It's so nice that they sent them for you to try!

[@mindofwatercolor]

I know. Sometimes that happens to me. Who knows?

[@tainadelcaribe]

Love it when two of my worlds collide; stamping/card making and watercolor. Waffle Flower always comes up with cool and unique stamps. And dies too? Oh yes!!

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

Thank you! :")

[@tainadelcaribe]

Oh! You guys replied! It is true though, you always make cool stuff!

[@ellenm7806]

Wow, this is a great idea for swatching all mediums! Def will eventually purchase the stamps as I always admire neatly swatched colors and fun to use for practicing as you've mentioned.. tfs this new product on your channel, happy re-swatching! :)

[@maryholshouser8063]

Fantastic idea that's been needed for a ong time. I improvised with dots on the tops of my pens - but you still have no full idea of a color. These swatches will make it easier to combine colors - much less experimenting. thanks for sharing.

[@claudiahemmings2080]

What a brilliant idea. My binder full of swatches is a mess of different grids. Something like this will make it easy to make organised, consistent reference swatches.

[@mindofwatercolor]

You and me both. I am so disorganized with my swatching. And I don't particularly like spending a lot of time doing it like some do.

[@claudiahemmings2080]

I hate doing it, but it's so very useful once it's done. I'm still learning and I look at my swatch charts all the time to check my colour choices and mixes.

[@lellemaris3731]

Great review, thank you! These look so useful, like you, I like the swatch cards the best.....Please do a video about dominant colours, this sounds so interesting!

[@pudgeallday1265]

you know. Im subscribed to her and still didnt know about these until I watched this. I think this is fantastic. I spent an hour trying to draw swatch cards yesterday and finally gave up. Thank you for posting!

[@essietangle9931]

This looks like a great idea, will keep the information more uniform and easier to store. Every time I make a sample it is different from the rest. Makes it harder to store.

[@mindofwatercolor]

You and me both Essie. My swatching is all over the place!

[@TheGypsyChic1]

Thank you so much for sharing these! I've just been making my swatches using micropore tape. I get nice even swatches, but I'm always afraid it will tear my paper one of these days. I just ordered these! I'm hoping they will stamp well on Arches paper, as well. I'm just a baby KZbinr but, I have recommended your channel often. You don't discount "crafters" as many artist's seem to, and I so appreciate all you do! I just discovered watercolors a year ago, and you have been the best teacher! I don't know if you really want a die cutter for these...but if you do I have an gently used Cuttlebug machine I would be happy to send you for free, that would fit all of these dies. The smaller die cutting machine others have recommended won't fit the circle dies for the color wheel that looks the most useful.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks for the kind offer but I don't think i will need it. 👍

[@tinamarie227]

I LOVE this idea. I will be getting this set for sure.

[@kimmieRH05]

I have been on a strict “No new supplies” rule for the past 6 months but have broken this rule to purchase some of these stamps!!!! I can’t wait to get them!!! TFS!!!❤️

[@suzysholar5151]

Watching you and The Frugal Crafter this week you both reviewed Waffle Flowers new color wheel and swatching sets. This convinced me not only to buy the stamp sets, but to get the die cuts and buy a die cut machine... Just to use with these great color swatching sets Waffle Flower created! Now I'm off to watch KZbin reviews of die cutting machines, because I have NO IDEA what to look for!!

[@mindofwatercolor]

I ended up with the Gemini Junior. Its puts a lot of good even pressure on the dies and requires no cranking but it is a bit more expensive. amzn.to/2Q0m3Gc

[@pamelasertich9850]

OMG. I am thrilled. This was the reason I started looking this morning for help with my new swatch stamps from Waffle Flower. That brought me to your other videos. Thank you so much ❤️

[@maremagoo8140]

Hi Steve, Great vid. A note about die cutting machines. If you only think you're interested in the ATC or 2x2 size you might consider a Sizzix Sidekick which cuts up to a 2.5"w x 6"l die. Altenew (another stamp co) mini die machine cuts up to 3.5" wide. These mini machines are slightly less expensive than the standard card or scrapbookers machines.Another thought would be to haunt your local Tuesday Morning for a good buy - or use a 60% off coupon on one - Michael's (I believe JoAnn & Moore's doesn't allow coupons on the machines)

[@mindofwatercolor]

I want to die cut the color wheel so would need at least 4.5”

[@blueroomcrafts5046]

Hi Steve, I am excited about these new stamps. I am a papercrafter also so I am very familiar with Waffle Flower and all the products. An idea for your small swatch card you like so much is to just get a punch that is that size. You should be able to find them at any of your big box craft stores or on line. I am almost sure there is one that is made specifically for punching ATC cards. If you need help with that give a shout.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yes, a couple others here recommended that. I may look into it. Or just a smaller die cutter that isn't as expensive. I have to decide first if I really will need to cut out a bunch of these. I want to make the top of the color wheel too and need the die for that.

[@blueroomcrafts5046]

There are a couple of the papercraft companies that make some smaller versions of die cutters that are not as expensive. If you would like I can email you some links to check out.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Sure. The more recommendations the better. It would need to be able to accommodate the color wheel too, about 4.5" across.

[@FreeSpokenOne]

Kneejerk reaction was YES, how convenient... after you get the plate to mount it and indelible ink and... on and on so snapped back to reality. Nice idea, not sure I need it because unless you make a lot of swatches it seems impractical and knowing me, after the first time I'd misplace it and never make more. I'd like one but don't actually need this. Besides, I couldn't find it on Amazon so there's that too. Great review all the same and thanks for the demo, Steve. Hail the man who has the cool toys to do it all! You rock.

[@marsbeads]

FreeSpokenOne available August 5

[@mindofwatercolor]

They'll debut tomorrow on the Waffle Flower website. August 5. They might eventually make it to Amazon. Waffle Flower has other stamps listed there.

[@JimHolincheck]

I suggest looking into a small manual die cutting machine that you can get at a big box craft store with a 50% off coupon, like the Prizm or Sidekick. Pay attention to the max die size to be sure it will accommodate what you want to cut. The smaller machines aren’t as versatile and don’t work as well for certain types dies, but they’re much more reasonable and might work great for you. Cynthia

[@nafordebi]

i have the whole set i absolutely love them and i have a ton to research a lot so much neater takes a little time, but it's so neat and tidy

[@brianashmorestudio]

Those are so cool! I hadn’t ever thought about stamps working this way, before. 👍

[@mindofwatercolor]

Me neither Brian. Fun to find new art supply ideas that are this useful.

[@ChaosOrZen]

I feel a stamping addiction coming on... lol... so many uses for these!

[@Faerysong1]

Oh Wow!! I Love this, tried to order, but (of course..lol) it's out of stock. The frustration I've dealt with trying to make swatches for my watercolors, markers, and pencils. By the time I get my swatch cards made, I'm ready to throw in the towel, because it's either to big to fit in my pallet box, or I've forgotten to add info. So Yay, and thanks for showing this stamp!! Alice

[@suecap4985]

Thank you so much for sharing this, can not wait to make new ones!

[@nicolle2126]

ohh never thought to use stamps for something like this. Thanks for putting these products on my radar ^^

[@anam00090]

Ooh this is brilliantly useful 😲 Didn't know this existed, thank you! I am never patient enough to make nice swatch templates and this system looks amazing. The color chart templates look very useful as well - for testing different primary combinations 👀

[@mindofwatercolor]

It didn't exist until now. It'll be available Sunday Aug. 5

[@cab552]

Love this, Steve! I am a card maker, and I was thinking...."surely someone has made a nice swatch card stamp!" Ordering mine today! :-)

[@lauradains2734]

Steve, I bet you never imagined you had so many secret stampers in your midst. Thanks for the video. I never would have known about these if I weren't subscribed to you.

[@susankingcs]

New to your channel but I agree these are a must and I am glad I found your channel!

[@LanaGoesArt]

Perfect combination of crafts and arts - so usefull! The single color chart may be the one for me. I'm hesitant about making those swatches with my palettes, because they are so many. This might be the solution.

[@denisebryant3376]

These look so fun, and very handy too!

[@Kitchensurprise]

Love these. Sometimes when you just don’t want a project this would be great. I have a die cutting machine👏

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

Half way there already! LOL Thanks!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Thanks for this review! It really helps to see the process. Blessings!!!

[@bobbinsew]

Thanks for your review! Really helpful and ill definitely be buying! As for the Die cutting machine, if you decide you are only going to cut the ATC card Die then you can buy a mini Die cutting machine. Sizzix with TimHoltz has the Sizzix sidekick, there is also one made by Altenew that would be suitable. There are others but just can’t remember who! As for full size machines, Sizzix, Spellbinders, and Cricut all make good quality ones, and if you fancy an electronic cutter, the Gemini Jnr. by Crafters Companion is your best bet. I’m only just starting my artistic journey with watercolour and coloured pencils so swatching is giving me great practice with the mediums but hadn’t really hit on a format that I liked, so Waffle flower doing this is fantastic, I really like the colour wheel set, as I’m spending a lot of time working on creating great mixes and colour wheels are my constant companions! Love the vids Beverley, New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yes, someone else recommended that one. May be the best idea. I want to make the top to that color wheel too so the die is needed for that. I saw a video somewhere that a rolling pin could be used instead of a die cutter but I don't know how effective that is.

[@bobbinsew]

The Mind of Watercolor a rolling pin? Novel at least! It may be that working on a cutting mat, a simple Die through thin paper could cut with a rolling pin but I doubt very much that you would get the colour wheel Die through watercolour paper. Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ve got to try it! I’ve got 5 manual cutters from mini to mighty plus two computer controlled cutting machines and I’m off to find the rolling pin......... 🤣

[@HajraMeeks]

So unique and useful!!--I don't do stamping, but I looked all over for color wheel templates/stamps just a month or so ago since I do a lot of color wheels, and couldn't find ANY like these, though I did find a few stencils. :p Of the ones you share, the ATC one is my favorite, too.Thanks a bunch, bro! :D

[@mindofwatercolor]

They'll certainly help me, sloppy, impatient swatcher that I am. LOL! Thanks for popping by Hajra!

[@MissMelindas]

This is t he best video out there on this product! Thank you for such a detailed video.

[@onemig00]

Those are soo cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@ShamelesslyCreative]

I had went to pick up the single color swatch card set from watching your grey video...and then saw these others ones on her site and because I love swatching and mixing. On a day I am not feeling creative I just swatch and fall in love with color all over again.. which usually gets me creative again. I ended up buying probably all of these without the dies ( I think the die for the swatch card would be handy but I dont have a machine or anything as I am not a a paper crafter or inker I don't understand or know if I can use it without a machine some how????I want a die cut of some sort to make quick artist cards the easy way lol) I also picked up the other smaller big block swatch card for mixes or to list out a mini palette or for blends I like because I always end up creating colors I like or just for doing color combinations I like or for limited palette documentation. I never saw this ( your) video until I looked up for more information from waffle flower on seeing these on demonstrated on youtube even though I thought I had made it through all your videos long ago :) i still re-watch your grey's video I love the warm greys and how they pop off the cool ones. Sigh...

[@MeowMeowKapow]

Id never heard of waffleflower either, but the name alone had me on board! =>..

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yeah, new to me too. As soon as I saw them I wondered why I hadn’t seen any before. Brilliant!

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

First-to-market! ;)

[@cassiescreations9828]

Waffle Flower Crafts Brilliant!

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video Steve! 😁 I can definitely see how these would be really handy. I think I would be interested in the smaller one too. I hop you are doing well my friend. Thanks for sharing. 🤗

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks Val. I hope they will help me. I'm a terrible swatcher.

[@elizabetheddy1073]

Steve, u are awesome! When I finally found/realized that Utube wasn’t just silly, stupid videos that teenage boys watched?! Lol ( 1 year ago?!😳😂) I typed in watercolor painting, and found you, Lindsey, The watercolor misfit, and a few others!! I was hooked! So I bought everything I needed to start!! THEN...I found Stamping videos?! 😳 I became hooked on these too! So I’ve been buying “everything I need” to start stamping! Lol!! I really wanted to combine both to make cards, plus paint sometimes to give as gifts and possibly hang in my house!! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THIS?! One of my favorite artists using a stamp!! I think u should run with this and do some Stamping videos with watercolor!! Everyone from the stamping channels would appreciate it and learn SO MUCH from YOU!! You are amazing, thanks Steve!! Liz 😊💗👍🏼

[@mindofwatercolor]

LOL! Thanks for the vote of confidence Liz. I think stamping is cool, but by and large its not for me unless I'm using a utilitarian stamp like these swatches or fonts or something. I see and appreciate the fun and joy in stamping. I like to watch Kristina Werner's channel. One of the best card makers on KZbin IMO. I may do some of that with my granddaughters but mostly I see stamped images and my illustrator brain says I would rather draw it than stamp it. Just the way I'm wired I guess.

[@elizabetheddy1073]

The Mind of Watercolor I understand, I just think ur so awesome, that I think u should be teaching all the wonderful gals that are doing watercolor and cardmaking!! I know u can draw anything u want, ur are truly gifted! Thank you again for helping me get out of my own rut, (2 neck surgeries in 2 years is depressing!) and give me confidence to start a new passion! QUESTION?? Nowadays, what are ur favorite papers, paint and brushes to use? I haven’t tried the Silver brush (?) line, I’m only using the Windsor and newton from Michael’s, I just bought some Arches paper (there’s so many new ones?!😳 and I’m still using the Mission Gold paints. Any new suggestions?😊💗👍🏼 Danial Smith is everyone’s favorite right now!!

[@mindofwatercolor]

I still love Arches but have been trying a lot of new papers this year. Love the new Winsor Newton Pro paper, Stonehenge Aqua, Hanhnemuhle Cezanne, and Canson Heritage. All lovely new papers. I'm still very fond of Silver Brush Black Velvets but have been trying and also like Princeton Elites. M. Graham is still my favorite paint but also love Schmincke, Daniel Smith, Qor, Mission Gold, Sennelier and Maimeriblu. All wonderful paints and hard to go wrong with any of them.

[@riverbeee9643]

Struggling with my inner minimalist on whether or not I'd use these often enough to justify the price... *grabby hands nonetheless*. Your stamped swatch card does look so nice!

[@mindofwatercolor]

My inner minimalist often ends up getting a major beat down! 😅

[@riverbeee9643]

The Mind of Watercolor My paper collection is evidence of that, too! I'll need them eventually though, yes?

[@adorablegodzilla5628]

OMG, THANK YOU! I wanted something like this and then found out a UK craft company sells all her stuff.

[@SharonCullenArt]

These are so cool, shoot one more thing now that i have to have. Lol! On the 2 color mixing wouldn’t you put both colors side by side on the small blocks and mix them on the larger block, rather than using thE whole chart and work toward the middle? I suppose it could work wither way. Gosh I’m hooked. This was genius.

[@mindofwatercolor]

😂

[@mindofwatercolor]

Tons of ways they can be used actually. I thought about that for two color mixing but that’s not how she designed that stamp. It’s designed to have a different color at each end then gradually mix them together with an equal mix somewhere in the middle. The two smaller blocks are for two different tints of that color mix. You can use it however though. I used it as a swatch chart for one of my palettes.

[@ivyroman6339]

Pretty neat. Thinking about getting them. Thanks

[@jmoss55ish]

I’m so excited for this release!

[@erins.5420]

“I know enough about it to make me dangerous”!!! Lol love it!!!

😄

[@margaretmartin6620]

I can see Lindsay Weirich hyperventilating! She'll have them ordered before sundown. :D

[@mindofwatercolor]

LOL! Speaking of Lindsay. I watched several of her stamp school videos just to become more familiar with the process. Very useful!

[@Via_Von]

Margaret Martin yes she will!! lol

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I am!!!!!

[@valeriegirvin7939]

The Mind of Watercolor oh yes! So it begins!!! 😂

[@pewpewcat7679]

Swatch monkeys omg you killed me with that one. Awesome I love your channel, you and denise are such great teachers!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great review! Thanks so much.

[@danibouchard191]

Well, I was at the back of the line to get these today so I am on the wait list. Worth the wait though!

[@geeketeer]

I need this so badly. I'm horrible at keeping the swatches uniform and the proper size for the watercolor set I'm making it for, since I prefer to keep a reference sheet with my sets. I can't tell you how many times I've had to start over when I discover I've run out of room.

[@cynthiaslater7445]

Great idea! Too bad I have to wait a day or two to order these. Thanks for sharing.

[@pokey3010]

Thank you for this, very informative. Now i know how to use this stamp! LOL

[@lorimarum6261]

Love these, very helpful

[@kellylautt8547]

Loved the video. Would someone please tell me the meaning of the word "massstone" the is written on the swash stamp?

[@mindofwatercolor]

A full concentration of the color basically. Although in watercolor, being transparent medium some transparency is left in the swatch so you can actually see the color.

[@uniquecrafter902]

Where did you find that info that you said she had worked out? You have it printed off on paper ... I couldn't find it in ur description? Thanks you for your video 🥰

[@Jobena1]

Do you you find the squares are adequate sized for watercolor charts?

[@mindofwatercolor]

For me, yes.

I wanted something like this so badly I was seriously about to try to carve my own swatch border stamps!

Kat Do it anyway, then have them mass produced $$$, competion. This is what drives our economy so we have food, shelter and such. The fact that you had that idea and ready to act makes you a step ahead of the rest of us.

So now I have to wait to get them?!?! 😮 That’s so mean!! 😢😜😂 Thanks Steve! Building the colour swatch framework has never been fun, but I see that changing up soon ... well ... as soon as SOMEbody gets us links!! 🙃😂

[@Via_Von]

These are going to fly! Thanks for the heads up. I'm really looking forward to finding these sets. Thank you Steve! What was the name of your friend? Is she an independent rep? I'd love to buy from her since she was smart enough to ask you to help her get the word out.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Nina. She's the product designer for Waffle Flower Stamps. She contacted me about reviewing these.

[@lauradains2734]

I'm truly excited about these. I suffered an accident about the time I was starting to learn water color. These products are truly a quality of life issue for me. Thank you again for letting us know. I have a feeling these are going to sell out fast.

Haha love it, ur gonna turn crafter very soon! Very cool you reviewed and showed the function of these stamps, Awesome! 😜 BTW there are mini die cutting machines on the market for like $20 that you could cut that artist trading card die cut with (I've seen them at Tuesday Morning in the past). Also if u decide you don't want the die/stamp sets you got here I'm more than happy to pay shipping and take em off your hands! 😊😉

Seems like a good idea, but I think it is a little small for see the color especially if your vision is not too good. Also, I need to swatch and go seems a little time consuming. But, good idea.

[@mindofwatercolor]

They are a tad small. I think she's designed them for crafters/artists with tons of colors so that a lot will fit on a letter sized sheet. The 2-color mixing stamp actually makes a nice swatch for me. Bigger with blanks for two tints.

[@Waffleflowercrafts]

Hahaha! Yes... For our fellow crafters... the more we can fit on a page, the better! LOL

[@BrokebutCreative]

I would use the two small sections on the two color mixing chart for the two colors I mixed just to remind myself that the obvious mixes aren't always the best.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Great tip!

[@BrokebutCreative]

@@mindofwatercolor you're the best. Thanks for all of your wonderful videos.
