The image is not showing up for me. I can click on it and go to your Instagram page. You have created many lovely cards! I see an image of diamond dots, but only one photo that looks like you may have used Diamond Dots for flower centers. Is that the one? It’s a clever idea.

I used them as eyes 👀 on my little animals too |

It doesn't show up for me either. I have never heard of them, but I'm interested. Do you just glue them on?

scrapnnana and @ nylene I made a collage on Flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/182969812@N05/50218343771/in/dateposted-public/Hope this works. Yes I use a very little wet glue. I have art glitter glue with the attachment or you can use a stylus to put down dots of glue on your projects. I use a wax pencil to pick up the dd. It works really good. They are using diamonddotz to make paintings. Leone shared that she is making these paintings.

I just saw these at Joann’s. I didn’t realize just how tiny they were. They would make good filler for shaker cards because you get a lot and the price point is good.

I think they would be good to use in some ways for smaller stamps like those from Lawn Fawn. Maybe to add some sparkle to a snow scene? |

I got a small one of these at EXPO last year. I even made the whole thing, once I got home. The Queen said I had to take it out to the studio; no "sailor talk" in the house.

I hate to say it, but I am a little obsessed with Diamond Painting. It’s very relaxing, rather mindless but somehow me and my neighbor are both spending way too much time doing it. Cheapest craft I have encountered for a long time. Of course, I had to go on Amazon and get some accessoriies To organize the “drills” but everything you actually need comes with each one. I just keep ordering as I am deluged with advertisements on Facebook and I just keep finding adorable ones...some as low as $3.99. It is a much cheaper obsession than scrapbooking or card making. Plus, during this pandemic I am not doing anything worthy of scrapbooking and I already have my Christmas cards made.
At first I was feeling foolish as I have no intention of framing any of them and they take a lot of time. But I had been doing a lot of jig saw puzzles...they have gotten very expensive during Covid...and after spending hours on them, just disassemble and return the pieces to the box. So not much difference while sheltering at home.

So, are these a similar size to the tiny enamel dots? I usually get packs of enamel dots but only use the very small ones because the medium and bigger ones seem too bold on a card. I could get behind this if they're a cheap substitute for the tiny enamel dots! They would make good filler for shaker cards because you get a lot and the price point is good. I think Call me Crafty Al used a bunch of them for shaker cards in a recent video. |

They’re not much bigger then the head of a pin, have a matt like finish and are faceted. |

This looks so neat, I saw some diamond painting at the Scrapbook Expo last year and thought it looked so neat but it looked so complicated because the pictures were huge. Who knew you could put it on cards too? I'm going to order some beginner kits on Amazon to see if I'll like this.

I love Diamond Dot painting! It's very relaxing, and the results are stunning. Great idea to use the leftovers in shaker cards. There are always lots of leftovers. |
