I'm back with another new set of stamping plates--this time the Winstonia third generation plates. The set has 20 plates, with a sophisticated look and a variety of designs. Let's take a look at it, and I'll say more at the end.
First, here's the video I made for those who like chit-chat with their plates :) :
And here are the still images:
Winstonia W301: Deco patterns
Winstonia W302: Deco lines and swirls
Winstonia W303: Flowered fabric
Winstonia W304: Beachy whale
Winstonia W305: Geometric patterns
Winstonia W306: Sundial decadence
Winstonia W307: Stripes galore
Winstonia W308: Tribal images
Winstonia W309: Crazy quilt o' textured patterns
Winstonia W310: Flowered foursquare
Winstonia W311: Flourished foursquare
Winstonia W312: Beautiful brocades and damasks
Winstonia W313: Batik beauty
Winstonia W314: Waves 'n' wheat
Winstonia W315: Chunky patterns
Winstonia W316: Wonderful words
Winstonia W317: Circuit board across the board
Winstonia W318: Chintzy printsies
Winstonia W319: Vines and trellises
Winstonia W320: Kaleidoscope madness
To give you a general sense of size, here are two of the plates next to a standard Konad plate:
Winstonia W303 vs. Konad
Winstonia W312 vs. Konad
But how do they stamp?

They stamp well--the fine detail is preserved, and I love those crisp lines.
My overall impression of this set is excellent. I love a set that favors sophistication over cute (just my personal preference) and this one does; I also like that there are a variety of different images for a wide array of possible looks. The one down-side to this set the number of plates that have the harsh lines between designs; I prefer plates where the designs turn seamlessly from one to the next, but I realize that's hard to do well.
You can find this set on Amazon, and directly from Winstonia.
What do you think of the set? Any plates that are favorites?
Happy stamping!

Olá! São lindas! Uma mais linda que a outra! Sou apaixonada por carimbos, pena que aqui no Brasil não seja muito comum. Gosto muito do seu blog e sou sua seguidora. Caso queira visitar meu blog, segue o link. http://encantadoradeesmaltes.blogspot.com.br/ Parabéns! Obrigada!
Awesome review as always. I love listening to your descriptions and hearing your thoughts. One question I had was it seems like there is a lot of thicker images and I find those to be difficult for me personally to stamp. Maybe it's the polish I use but I tend to avoid them like the plague. Any thoughts on them? Have you tried them and if so what did you think?
Take 315 for example the upper left is what I call "thicker". I guess it's not the right term. Sorry LOL. Directly below that in the lower left is the type of plates or images I use the most because I get smearing a lot using the images where more is etched and they never turn out right no matter what polish I use.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! :) What do you mean by 'thicker' images, can you tell me one of the plates you mean?

ReplyDeleteThey cost a teeny bit more than some other brands, but I've never had a problem with any of their plates. :)
