What a beautiful image! I hadn't heard that Jody was retiring. I've been collecting her artwork for a while (puzzles, cards, etc). I love that the image is so clear, even at 40x60. Take care, Lisette ❤
My husband just got back from visiting his sister in Rotterdam. I have this picture in my stash as it reminds me of my sister-in-law! I love listening to your voice, as it reminds me of her, as well! Thank you so much for this video.
Oh, this is lovely Lisette! I'm glad you said it wasn't really your taste because that was my first thought, lol! It is lovely regardless! I love this kind of video. I'm guessing it fulfills my need for instant gratification!!!! You do beautiful work Lisette! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for the link. I loved this. I hadn't seen it before and when I clicked on the link, it says "only a few left." So I grabbed one. I was in the process of purchasing a kit from the new releases of DAC yesterday right at the time it went online and I was able to put it in my shopping cart, but by the time I went to click the pay now button, it was sold out. I'm super disappointed with that, but very happy to have been able to get this print from Dreamer's. Also, I purchased another Dreamer's kit from them about a week ago and it arrived and I was so impressed with the packaging. The soft tool kit. Everything in it. Thank you for showing me what that clear plastic bar thing was because I was really scratching my head on that. What you call "gapping" is nothing to me. I'm near complete on a Diamond Dotz print (the Parthenon which is soooooooo beautiful) and it's gapping is very troubling to me, but I'm inexperienced at this hobby. I've only completed one small Amazon print so far and it's gapping too. But, the gapping does not show from a distance. Thanks again. I love your videos and your journaling system is intriguing too.
Hi Lisette! It is very clear and love the colors. The gapping is annoying but from afar you can’t notice it which is a good thing. Wow! It looks beautiful! Great video🥰🥰
Love the picture and the format from start to finish. It just so happens I will be starting the 2 swans from Jaded so this inspires me and hopefully the Jaded one is as enjoyable and beautiful as the Dreamer Designs. Thank you.
Oh that's so nice. Thanks for letting me know Jean. Enjoy working on your beautiful piece from JGS. I'm working on my first JGS myself and am loving it.
Hi Alina - the gapping really isn't bad at all. I just mention it because I see a lot of people speaking negatively about the squares of DD. My personal experience is very positive. I've just placed another order with them.
Very lovely! I just got my first Dreamer Designs from a destash (Jody Bergsma star light, star bright). Glad to hear you had an overall enjoyable experience! I did not know that we might not continue to have access to this artist's diamond paintings 😮
Very pretty. I have bought a lot of Dreamer Designs lately as they have improved their diamonds and expanded their artists. I think my last 5-10 paintings have been from them. I’m glad to see you do a review. I will say that I have switched from a 7 placer to a 4 placer on these as it helps reduce the gapping.
This picture is so serene! Jody Bergsma is not my usual choice of art, but this piece is really beautiful. I quite enjoy Dreamer Designs' canvases. I always wonder if the drills are the problem, or if it is their grid that needs to be a slight bit tighter. I've never had extreme gapping with their canvasses, but I would like a slightly tighter grid.
I like it! It looks like a nice reprieve from heavy confetti you tend to work on. Can I ask how long it took you? I do not drill very fast. It takes me about 6-8 weeks to work up a 60*80 cm. I am still working on my stash, trying to organize it. I’m hunting for the binder and pages you used. I think I have 18 including WIPs. I do have several “bargain” ones to do too. I don’t count those in my stash. They’re what my friends and family have gotten for me. I do love them though. 😊 Thank You for the complete reveal, an honest review is a nice refreshing thing to see. Have a great day!
Thanks so much. Sorry for getting back to your comments so late. I don't exactly know how long I work on a specific diamond painting. I don't time it and I alternate between different canvases. I do think that if I had dedicated all my time to this specific canvas I would have been able to finish it in a week or two. That is because of the perfect diamond painter friendly rendering of this one. A 60-80 takes me about 6-8 weeks too. So you're fast enough in my book LOL.
I have at least 6 dreamer design canvases in my stash (mostly Alissa Kari) - and mostly squares. I’ve had zero issues with them. They are all gorgeous 🦢 🌷
I was just wondering how square drills kits from Dreamer Designs compare to DACs, thanks so much for your honest opinion. I love the render of one of their images so I might still give it a try :)
Thanks for doing a Dreamer Designs review, I think they are a much better company than most people give them credit for. My stash is an even mix of Diamond Art Club and Dreamers. I agree with you that the quality of DAC is better but Dreamers quality is still quite good. I love that most of Dreamers' canvases come is consitent sizes like 60x80cm or 40x50cm that are easy to find frames for, and they contract with some incredible artists like Alissa Kari. Overall Dreamers' images trend more toward cute/pretty, landcapes, flowers, etc which is what I'm more drawn to. Meanwhile DAC canvas sizes seem completely random which can be difficult and expensive to frame. DAC does come out with some gorgeous kits - a few that come to mind are Trinity of Peace and the recently released Beauty in the Clouds. However much of DAC's artwork is really dark or just plain tacky like all of the cartoons and the cringey Teletubbies.
It’s beautiful Lisette. I recently ordered two DD in squares because I heard the quality had improved. Then someone said they wouldn’t get the square drills. I wonder if it’s because of the gapping. Now I’m worried. 😧
Don't be worried. I just mention it because I've noticed that a lot of people talk quite negative about Dreamer Designs. I point out the issues, but they personally don't bother me at all. I really like Dreamer Designs and yes, also the squares. I've just placed another order with them. Which one did you order?
@@LisetteCraftsandTells Pink Owl in squares and Christmas Mailbox in squares. Years ago in my cross stitching days, I had the pattern for Christmas Mailbox, but I didn't get it done before my eyes could no longer cross stitch. Then, I saw it on DD in diamond painting form so I had to have it. It's a Christmas image and the mailbox has the number 27 on it. My birthday is December 27 which drew me to it. I will add some bling for sure.
Coucou. Merci pour cette revue. J'ai fait plusieurs toiles carré de cet companie et je dois dire que ces écarts me dérangent beaucoup. Je n'arrive pas à prendre du plaisir quand je les vois. J'ai vu beaucoup de gens en parler mais leur réponse est que les gens aiment leur diamants carrés donc pas besoin de changer. C'est dommage car ils perdent des clients, on dirait qu'ils ne veulent pas évoluer. Ils y a beaucoup de toiles en diamants carrés qui me plaisent mais j'attends qu'ils améliorent ce point.
Bonjour Catherine. Je comprends ton soucis, mais pour moi même, les diamants carrés de Dreamer Designs donnent un résultat satisfaisant. J'ai juste commander des nouveaux toiles.
Came out beautifully. Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Peace and love abide with you. 💕
Thanks so much - yes I really love this one.
Wat een fantastisch mooie painting Lisette! En zo herkenbaar. Schitterende weergave van ons mooie kikkerlandje.
Ja, gaaf is hij hè?! Echt weer eens heel iets anders - heel leuk om aan te werken
Such a lovely, calm image. This is a great way to show the entire project. I really appreciate it. ❤
Thanks so much for letting me know. I'm glad to hear that you like this new format.
Thanks for sharing! Super cute finish
Thanks dear Lindsay
A beautiful painting, I really like seeing the whole process from the unboxing to the completion in one video.😊😊
Thanks for letting me know Jackie - I'm really glad that you like this new format.
Great full review!. Beautiful diamond painting. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much
Oh what a beautiful smaller canvas ❤. Perfect for spring 🌸.
Hi Carina - yes, I think so too.
What a beautiful image! I hadn't heard that Jody was retiring. I've been collecting her artwork for a while (puzzles, cards, etc).
I love that the image is so clear, even at 40x60.
Take care, Lisette ❤
Yes, I heard it from Mindy first and looked it up. I think there will be images up from her for a while longer though.
My husband just got back from visiting his sister in Rotterdam. I have this picture in my stash as it reminds me of my sister-in-law! I love listening to your voice, as it reminds me of her, as well! Thank you so much for this video.
Ah thanks for letting me know - that just brought a huge smile to my face.
Very nice ..love the colors...tfs
Thanks so much Margie. I'm glad you like it
I agree with you, Lisette. The drills are like older DAC kits. Not great but still okay. The rendering of the image makes it worth it.
💖💠💖
Hi Sylvia - yes, that's it.
Really loving these full review videos!!
Thanks so much for letting me know Leonor. That really helps me. Havé à great weekend.

I enjoy Dreamer Designs so much.
Yes I think they're really doing an awesome job. I'm always excited when you show another DD.
Another beautiful one I havent considered! 😊
Thanks so much Katarina. Sorry for enabling LOL
A wonderful painting from J.Bergsma 😍 Your finished DP looks great 🤩 I like this kind of video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much dear Sonja - I'm so glad you like it
Hi Lisette! It is very clear and love the colors. The gapping is annoying but from afar you can’t notice it which is a good thing. Wow! It looks beautiful! Great video🥰🥰
How do you feel about working on Dreamer Designs squares Sylvia? I really don't mind the gapping personally.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells I worked on Pretty in Pastel and it was a square. It had some gapping but I put very little mica powder and it worked. 🌸🌸
How funny, I kept seeing that one “odd” diamond 💎 too.
It came out beautiful 🦢
Ha Ha Ha - I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one. Thanks Linda
Again a wonderful video. Love this way of how you are dping a full review. Keep up the good work. Beautiful canvas!🎉
Thanks for letting me know - I'm so glad to hear that you like this new format.
Hi Lisette, elle est vraiment trop belle cette toile, je ne l'avais jamais vu passer alors un grand merci de ce partage ♥ Bon dimanche 🍫
Merci Katarina

This canvas is beautiful

Such a Beautiful Diamond painting 😍 Nice size too 😊 wow your Fast at getting them done 😂
Have a lovely weekend 🥰
Thanks Gwyneth - yes, loved working on this one 🥰
This turned out pretty! I love the tulips!!! They’re my favorite flower! 😍😍😍
Hi Gabrielle - thanks so much. Yes I love tulips too.
I really really love this canvas, the gapping i can fix. Once again lissette, the enabler, comes thru.

Oh that one is so cool. Yes, she's retiring.
wow 60 colors for a 40x60! I would love to see the tulip fields. I bet it is beautiful . nice painting. it isn't your usual style but it is lovely.
Hi Cheryl - yes, it is something different. Did you manage to get Drawn to the light? I got her!
yes I did thank you! And thangs for the heads up. 😊❤

Hi Lynne - oh I'll keep that in mind for the next one. Great tip
What a great tip. I tried other multiplacers and keep coming back to 4 placers.
Thanks for sharing. I feel the same way about this company and the drills. Beautiful finish,thanks for sharing.
Thanks for letting me know Nancy - I'm glad we're on the same page.
@@LisetteCraftsandTells you make me want it LOL
I really love Dreamer Designs round drills
I’ve ordered two rounds from them - never before worked on a round from them - can’t wait to try it myself
This looks very pretty! Ive only done one from Dreamer Designs.
Thanks - which one did you do? ..and more importantly: did you enjoy working on it?
Beautiful 1st finish for the year ❤
Thanks dear Angel - how do you like Dreamer Designs?
I like the rounds but not squares... due to my post review on Moon Lily ❤
J’aime beaucoup ce format! Merci beaucoup. Ici, à Ottawa au Canada 🇨🇦 nous avons aussi le festival de la tulipe 🌷
Merci beaucoup Melanie - ohhhh j'adore les tulipes.
These full review are great 🙂 This painting isn't really my jam, but the end result looks good 😀Have a great week Lisette ❤❤
