Cute cards! I use the left over diamonds in shaker cards, they help the glitter and sequins move a lot better plus add fun colors!

What a brilliant idea to make card kits. Thank you for sharing ❤

Right? Thanks for watching!

Oh I can't believe you got to do the cute Labrador that is a sneak peak being released today. I wasn't gonna get it but boy. I have to have it now. I love diamond art club.!!

I've been doing this for years. The name you use for the diamonds is drills. Why? I have no idea. Lol😂 It's really relaxing. Omgoodness! I love the puppy DP. I've never seen this one. The colors are gorgeous!

Hi Ralph. That looks very relaxing. I love the canvas with the little dog. When I first saw you with this I thought Crystal Art. I live in the UK and we have a similar thing called Crystal Art. These are like crystal rhinestones and the same idea as yours. I swear one of these days I am going to have a go. Well done Ralph. Yvonne

As someone who rhinestones everything, I have wanted to try these and I’m def going to do it now seems so much more relaxing than trying to figure out the placement of everything

I love diamond painting, I am addicted and have done quite a few of the paintings and many more in my stash. you'll love this craft. thanks for getting the word out to other crafters. there's a big Facebook group. there is a right and wrong side to cover so be careful. I use left over drill for card embellishments.

Covid was crazy, I think I did over 100 of these Diamond paintings. I even sent photos out to be converted and the bigger the better! Like 30 X 36 and the squares rather than round. Now all rolled up in the Diamond painting graveyard…but it sure was fun!

I didn’t know either! So fun to have friends over and do together! Thanks for letting us know!

As an avid collector of all things llamacorn (I have them everywhere in my studio!), I can assure you that you were correct twice. That is a llama and a unicorn!

the larger canvas always seemed like too much of a time commitment for me, but I had no idea they did greeting cards until your video - such a clever idea - to make a card for someone or to gift as a craft project :)

I do enjoy your videos I have been thinking about trying this since I saw they offer card kits. After watching this I think I’ll give it a try. Thanks

I love diamond painting! I started in 2017, when I was actually looking for a certain cross stitch kit. I chose quite a big canvas with square diamonds for my first piece and it took forever to finish - but I learned a lot and it looks fantastic. I, too, use leftover diamonds (or "drills", as they are commonly called) in shakers and as accents on cards.

Ralph, this was a great video!! I think that’s an amazing idea, diamond painting on a card!! Your cards are so beautiful and sparkly!! I love the dog on the canvas too!! 😍

thanks Peggy!

Not much into diamon painting, but I get the appeal by them for zoning out/winding down and I love that these offer all the things you need to get started :3 I currently love mulling my expired eye shadows into water colours for that exact reason ^^

I am a Diamond dot crafter as well as a card maker but have not combined the two of them yet. I think this is a fabulous idea. I find Diamond dotting is very therapeutic. Calming and relaxing. I love your video and it is a different idea for cards. :)

I love diamond painting. I find it very relaxing. I have a lot of paintings to do yet but I think I'll go check out the website and see if there's one I can't live without!

So good to receive your notification! I love your beautiful work. Cheers from Brazil ❤

I’ve never seen like this. Thanks so sharing. Looks very interesting. Yes, you are right. It would make it a great gift.

😂 I started diamond painting about 3 months ago and I’m hooked. I started using left over gems as either shaker elements or gluing them to my die cuts. TEMU! Great place to get kits.

I bought a ton of diamonds to just add as small embellishments to cards (sometimes an enamel dot is just too big). Thanks for showing the tray, which I need to make them easier to handle.

Have fun on your diamond painting journey! I'm not kidding when I say it helped me out tremendously. Love that your partner got in on it and that you completed a Maryline Cazenave kit, she had some cuteee ones with DAC 😍😍

My sister Dose Diamond Dotz and I use the leftovers in my shaker cards! They work so well!

I love your sense of humor!

Oh man, our kids & I did several of these over quarantine! Such a great “zone out” activity!

I just started diamond painting, too. It’s fun and relaxing. Do you follow Mint Twist Cards? She has some videos about using left over diamonds on cards. TFS! ❤

A few years ago I also got a custom made diamond painting. It’s great for those who usually don’t like the designs made by the companies. You could make one of Kim Petra’s or perhaps a happy memory of you and your partner Adam. That’d be really cute

great job

I have have 5 hanging in my bedroom, 2 on my craft room, both rooms don’t have any more wall space. lol I have 2 that need to be finished and it’s like my mojo just quit on the diamond paintings, I need to finish the biggest one but it’s more black then any other color, you spend a lot of time saying ugh doing all black. 😢 they are super fun to do and as well as relaxing, as long as you don’t lose the mojo. So enjoy you fun new projects Tfs ❤

I use Dotz as embellishments on my cards. BTW, your Halloween decorations are awesome. TFS!

Thank you Ralph, I have tons of rhinestones left from a number of project and you helped me to know what to do with the extras. ❤ your awesome 😊 Thank you again!

My good friend is absolutely addicted to the diamond dots/painting thing. I never knew what was involved so it was interesting to see how it was done. Thank you!

I got into diamond painting a couple of years ago and love it. These cards look amazing. I want to make some of the cards.

I do Diamond Art projects and love them. Had no idea they make them for cards! But as I have left over 'diamonds' from projects, I've been using them on my cards for decoration. I'll have to look into this. Thanks for the video.😄

Thanks for doing this video! I’ve been curious about these kits.

This was so fun Ralph! Thank you so much for sharing. I was very curious how this worked so your video helped a lot! Your dog canvas turned out gorgeous! I enjoy your videos so much and I always learn something new☺️ Have a wonderful weekend

I bought individual colors of diamond dots to use as card embellishments. Great to know about the card kits!

I think I'd like to try one of these. Thanks for showing the process.

The mermaid card so cute. Also the new Kim surprise album is full of bops

Diamond painting is another one of my favourite thing to do too!

Why did I watch this video? Now you got my attention placed on the larger kits, especially bcz they will do great gifts for those friends that have everything. Loved the cards for teens, but that stinking dog with the sunflowers is just too cute to ignore. Keep the inspiration flowing.

I have never done diamond painting but it looks like something I would enjoy, thanks for the heads up going to order a card kit today!

Diamond dotz are so much fun. I have done birthday and Christmas card kits. The puppy is gorgeous. Another great video. Thanks Ralph

I've got two diamond art kits currently in my waitlist that I'm a little nervous about starting. They're both 70cm squares. One's only a partial drill but the other is a full drill. For now I'm working through my backlog of smaller ones, trying to build up the courage to attempt the large ones.

I make cards and I do diamond dots. Very addictive and fun. Love you puppy. I have a wall of all cats in my spare bathroom where the litter box is.

the mermaid one is definitely my favorite, and the colors came out so cute!! so wild still, to see you here on YT :)

I really enjoy doing these. I set up a small table on the front porch and set everything up there. I can spend a few hours on one at a time. I haven’t seen the card kits though, very cute!

WOW!!!! Thanks for this video!!!!

Oooo i loveeeee doing these! I’ll have to check them out. 😊

Can’t see if anyone told ya..but it’s a LLAMA-CORN 😂❤ Cute makes, thanks for sharing 🎉

Set your beads or diamonds to the right of you so your not reaching over your design since your right handed. You'll be able to apply faster. And less chance of missing a placement.

Why is this so stinking adorable?!! 😭♥️ Like the perfect birthday card for tweens and younger! I'm interested to see what diamond art cards are available for the older audience? Also how fun would a diamond Christmas tree be for the holidays?! 😍

Janetta there are Christmas diamond dot cards. Check it out on google.

Note: you don’t “scrap” the wadi to the tool. Go straight down, making a hole, slightly twist, and pull straight out. You don’t want extra wax on your project. ❤️

They say that you don’t need to seal their paintings and it actually voids the warranty. Their adhesive is very strong!

I would like to know if you should seal diamond painting images on cardstock greeting cards. I have some cards to work on, but I was afraid the cards themselves would warp or get ruined by a sealant. If I should seal greeting card images, what should I seal them with and how? Would you or anybody else know?

I think diamond painting looks fun, and I'd be ok sending cards to people, but actual big diamond paintings are just in the...uh...velvet paintings category as far as gifts to give people (cheesy). It feels like coloring...something just for ME, but not something I would turn around and gift.
