January 2024 Coloring Books and Supplies Haul

[@diamondslashranch]

If a company makes a mistake they should fix it period! I’m so tired of dealing with shoddy service. Ok I’m calm now😂😂

[@tammycolorstoo]

I agree. I think I have decided to see if they can just send me the pencils. I will see what the rules are for receiving stuff in America but I doubt it could be that bad. My guess is they don’t want to pay the shipping. But they do need to make it right. Thanks for watching.

Hahaha!! Yes, yes it is an intense emergency!!! This is red alert time!!! At least that is what I would have told them!!
I'm so having a Millie Marotta moment right now. I just did three in Tropical World and now I am doing one in Curious Creatures. And, I am having a ball. Suddenly, I'm into busy?
Glad you got Zen Garden. It's so cute.
And that CBN animal book is very intriguing!!!
Have a fantastic weekend and happy coloring.

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you! Yeh, I seem to be wanting to color busy stuff as well. I guess it is in the air. LOL. Thanks for watching!

Great Haul ...Love me some Jimmy Perez, gonna miss him!

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you! And yeh. I really liked Jimmy, but I just watched season 8 with the new DI Ruth Calder and it did not disappoint. So I think they did good.

Hi Tammy lovely haul hun.. I got a good score from EBay mouse guard colouring book from Brisbane Queensland Australia and I live in north qld and at a great price.. I’ve seen them on eBay but the postage from USA is shocking.. my book is on its way too me..❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊xxxxx

[@jicolourist]

That is awesome! 🥳

[@tammycolorstoo]

Oh wow! Yeh that was so lucky! Hope it gets to you in good condition. I really need to color in mine. 😀

[@shelscolouringjourney]

Really enjoyed your haul!! Thanks for sharing!
I don’t have Alien worlds, but I do use Neocolor II’s in Kerby’s other books and they don’t tend to bleed through. Although I have UK editions, I feel certain books they work better than others - eg in Fragile World they work wonderfully and in my Mythomorphia I struggled with them (although they didn’t bleed through)!
Sadly I am confused too!! But I hope you have better luck in your new book!! 🤗💗

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you!! I did try again and the problem seemed to just me too much water. I think I just need more practice. But I will not give up. Thanks for watching!!

[@nicnaccolours]

Great Haul Tammy. You got some great things. Thanks for sharing with us all. 😊

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thanks for watching!

[@lambgamcolorjam5456]

That's a great idea with the colorless blenders. I use the Tombow colorless blenders and they do not last long. It's frustrating but I keep buying them. If I use the refill water ones, I feel like it's just too much water.

[@tammycolorstoo]

Someone asked me to do a video on how I used the colorless blenders so I am working on that. For the Tombow I found a recipe to make my own refill solution so I do that and it seems to work fine. If you are interested send me a message on Instagram or an email and I can give you the recipe.

[@mzebony]

Cult pens told me the same thing, but sent it through Royal Mail because it was one pencil and I’m in Canada. I’m sure they can send 2 pencils through the mail. Keep creating 💜💙💛

[@tammycolorstoo]

Hmmm. So maybe I can tell them into sending me the two pencils. Thanks for letting me know.

[@jackiekonrad859]

Great haul ❤

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you! 🤗

[@nancyd.6352]

I had the same experience with Cult pens. I didn't get Nightshade, but got two Dark Mink. They didn't want to ship one pencil, but they would include it with a bigger order. Dick Blick is selling them open stock so I ordered Nightshade (even though the website said it was out of stock and wouldn't be in until March) and some Pablo pencils. Nightshade was not sent with the bulk of the order, but it came the next week. Thanks for sharing your haul with us.

[@tammycolorstoo]

I actually did get Cult Pens to send me the pencils. I just got them the other day. I am so excited!! I did learn a lesson though. I have to really think about international orders and things that can go wrong. Thanks for watching !!

[@desireebryant3658]

Thank you.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

Nice haul. Really cute books! It's really not that hard to find things online. I think people get lazy sometimes😂

[@tammycolorstoo]

[@creativetints]

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful haul 🤩

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@HappyCatastrophy]

Hey beautiful ❤!! Great haul video! I can’t believe that company wouldn’t fix their mistake and instead are making you pay for more just to fix what they did wrong? That is ridiculous! Remind me to never shop from them….. big hugs!

[@tammycolorstoo]

Well thanks to advice to people with similar issues I have emailed them back asking if they can just ship me the 2 pencils. I looked up customs and it should be ok if they fill out the paperwork properly. We shall see. LOL

[@jicolourist]

I do not usually link items either since not everyone lives in my country. So I think it is fine to ask. You can buy empty copic sketch markers (brush /chisel) and fill with gamsol, that is what I do.

[@tammycolorstoo]

Yeh. I knew about the empty copic. I just still think they are expensive. And I am surprised no one else sells any empty marker bodies, to be honest.

[@carlaventurini1935]

Thank you for sharing. It would be awesome if you did a video on the ways you use colorless blender that you use so much

[@tammycolorstoo]

Ok. I have made a note and I will see what I can do. I have a lot of pages to color this month so I am sure I can film and show you.
In one of my Celebration of Tea videos I used the Inktense with the colorless blender if you want to check that out.
Here is part one.

I use my Scholars and Verithins along side the premiers.

[@tammycolorstoo]

I will have to try to find some other scholars. Prismacolor customer support told me they no longer make the 3 pencils I was missing. So I returned the set to the seller.

[@Tasha_75]

@@tammycolorstoo what colors are you looking for? Have you tried eBay?

[@kellylovestocolor]

Nice haul! I had a problem with Cult Pens in January too. I’m in America and placed an order for almost $300 of my Christmas money. My order got cancelled because of a problem on THEIR end where my order wasn’t showing up as international in their system?? They have some things I wanted (including the new Inktense colors) that I can’t buy here. I emailed them multiple times and tried to place the order multiple times, and they did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. I was so disappointed in their customer service. They kept telling me they would get back to me when the problem was fixed, and I never heard back from them. It’s so frustrating!

[@desireebryant3658]

I also am having a difficult time mastering Neocolors as well. Never looks as smooth as others work.

[@tammycolorstoo]

Don’t give up. I am sure it is just practice and experience and others make it look easy. LOL We just need to learn all the tricks. Thanks for watching!

[@Coffeelover_5]

Great haul! Sorry to hear about your pencils 😢

[@tammycolorstoo]

Thank you! yeh. It I have to update on all of those things. I ended up finally returning my Prismacolor scholars but turns out I talked cult pens into shipping me my two missing pencils. Yay!!

[@desireebryant3658]

Do you happen to have a video on what you use the colorless blenders for?

[@tammycolorstoo]

Hi! Yes. I use them to activate my Inktense pencils rather than using water. I used them in a pair of videos a couple of weeks ago.

It is for sure an inktense emergency 🚨 😝 dickblick had the new colors on backorder back in December saying in stock January, then February, then I stopped looking. I’m not surprised it says March now. Where did you find cheap alcohol markers? You called them chroma, I’ve never heard of them. Was this amazon? Are they any good?
I got fairy tales too!! So far I’ve used just prismacolor in it (I did the stuffed animal page) but the book is just screaming inktense at me! I’ve been on an inktense kick for the past 6 months or so-I decided to switch it up to prisma for shits and giggles 🤭 BUT I’m going back to my lovely inktense again REAL SOON 😂❤

[@tammycolorstoo]

The Croma markers I got on Amazon. However I just looked at the 12 set I just bought. I paid $5 for them and now they are $37. Strange. But you can always keep an eye on them. They seem to be all over the place. I do like them. But I am not sure what the company is doing.
There is the link to what I bought. You can click on the Croma Store from there. Sometimes they have really good coupons.

Oh. I know I have really gotten into my Inktense lately. And I have been watching some great videos to get more ideas on using them. I did get the last 2 pencils. Cult ended up shipping them to me so I am so happy.

[@jengolo7]

@@tammycolorstoo I’m so glad your inktense emergency got cleared up! Nothing like waiting for a package and then there be issues! Any good videos you recommend in regards to inktense? I’m always interested. Thanks for the link for the markers!!

I also got my Inktense from Cult Pens. I feel lucky that I got them all. Could they just issue a refund?

[@christinescoloringandcrafts]

Also, I saw some pages in Where the Wild Flowers grow and I HAD to get that book. Went straight to Ebay. lol! Thank you for sharing your hauil!

[@tammycolorstoo]

You are welcome! As for Cult Pens, they actually did send me 28 pencils. Just 2 of them were duplicates. So I am missing 2 colors but I did get the 28 pencils. I might go back to them and insist they make it right. It was their mistake.

[@christinescoloringandcrafts]

You are right about that. Across the pond or not, they sent the duplicates. I am just shocked they didn't immediately offer a refund instead.

[@nothingnessofeverything]

Tammy the swap sounds like a fun idea, would love to participate in one? Would you be interested in a swap or if not could u point me in the right direction of where?

[@tammycolorstoo]

There is not one going on right now. But when I hear of a new one I will let you know. Thanks for watching.
