Today I have another new set of plates to show you, the new first-generation Winstonia plates. I went back and forth on buying this set because there was a lot of overlap with other things I already own, but there was enough new that I decided I needed to own them. Hee hee...
Of course, as usual, I made a video of the plates if you prefer to see them that way:
This set is organized roughly into different themes on each plate:
W101. Animal prints; They're just enough different from most to be interesting. :)
W102. Ah, love...At first I wasn't sure why the tree was there, but I see there are love birds in it!
W103. Sports!
W104. Earth day, with some pretty garden images
W105. Happy spring holidays--Easter, St. Patrick's Day
W106. On da beach
W107. Summer time--BBQs and 4th of July, but if you aren't American they've separated out the stars and stripes so they can be used for other things. :)
W108. I love the 'drip' image--at least that's what I've decided it is. :)
W109. Retro madness! Holler if you remember that gameboy, lol!
W110. Garden elements
W111 Bold and beautiful. :)
W112 Ninja stars and Pac-man mazes
W114. Travel the world
W115. Adorable little animals. Hippos FTW!
W116. Halloween. Skeleton spring-guy is the cutest skeleton ever! Except for Geoff Peterson.
W117. Fantasy-happy-fun-day?
W118 Fruit salad, anyone?
W119. Fall, Thanksgiving. You can do a before-and-after with the turkey...>.<
W120. Winter, Christmas, with a jaunty snowdude. :)
Here is how the plates compare with a standard Konad plate:
Winstonia Vs. Konad
The images are a titch wider and longer, but not by much--they're essentially the same size as Konad, so if those work for you, so will these. Also as you can see, the engraving is of similar quality.
So how do they stamp? I've used the images several times in manicures, which you can find linked below:
I've done a couple other manicures with these plates which are coming up soon on the blog--every time I've used these, the images stamp cleanly and easily, no problems at all. :)
Overall, I found these plates to be good quality, with a nice assortment of images. If you're just getting into stamping, it's a good set to have for one of your first starter sets, because it gives you a wide set of themes to work with that will cover many different occasions. I bought mine through Amazon, and they were $14.95 when I bought them.
Thanks for taking a look! Hope this helped you decide if this set is for you. :)
