If anyone is willing to sell the dragonfly paper or rubons from The July 2023 Great Outdoors collection, I’d love to take it off your hands.
It was in the shop forever and I just dragged my feet on purchasing because of all of the shipping issues. And now it’s sold out. Waaah!

It has arrived 2 months after I ordered it. So in true paper person form one of my paper packs is missing but everything else is there. I really loved the $20 kit pack. It had so much in it. I had added the September kit and would be annoyed if I ordered at full price. Its skinny. Really skinny. But it’s all really great and even though I want to hate them I’m still obsessed with paper person.

I have loved everything I've bought from Paper Person. It's ashame. But if she were to occasionally sell kits/digitals from this point on, I'd be afraid to buy for fear of never receiving my stuff.

I for one would buy digitals of all the stamps I was never able to buy due to the postage costs…

So I'm guessing she just ghosted her business?
I saw on her personal IG account she posted a photo from France at the end of Jan. Otherwise nothing, such a shame.

I think so. I was looking forward to the end of year clearance sale, but, alas, twas not meant to be.
I wonder if she waited for tax reasons, to take a loss this year?

She has to be sitting in a lot of stock, still. You’d think she’d want to sell it off as much as possible. It’s really unfortunate how this endeavor panned out. I hope she’s doing okay.

I noticed there were still a few items available for purchase. But also wonder if they are actually on hand or if that is just how it was left when they shut doors or just never returned

There should have been some sort of quick email blast sent out, at the very least. If there wasn't going to be a clearance sale, then say so. Don't just leave your customers in the dust.

Someone should send a message to her via instagram and see what the heck is going on. I don't follow her personal account anymore otherwise I would.

She traveled to Paris and NYC in '23, read 68 books (!). Maybe she is just burned out? Elise Blaha stopped posting on IG and selling (but has hubby's radiology doc income). Over the years I feel you do develop a relationship with designers. You buy their creations, support their business. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with discontinuing your business, going a different direction or taking a break. As a long long, time supporter of hers I'd love just a tiny blip indicating where all of this is going or not going. Be done or do it right lol.

Everyone gets burn out, that's understandable, but it takes 20 seconds to write "the shop is closed indefinitely" so that the audience is up to speed. It's frustrating that she doesn't do that.

it's disappointing, but totally "on brand" for her to put out an email saying there will be a year end sale and then ghost the whole thing

I never did receive part of the digitals for the last kit. I emailed twice with no response. I'm sorry to see her go. Even with all the issues, I loved her designs. I wish her well.

I don't think any of us received the 6x8 digital papers (I for sure didn't, the link was asking for a password). I requested access multiple times, sent many emails and never heard a peep. It's still garbage that she ghosted us all with no update at all.

If anyone who was a subscriber follows her on Instagram, can you post on one of her recent posts that the subscribers never got access to the digital 6x8 papers from December and if she can fix that? I don't follow her and her account is private. I don't know what else to do to get those files we are owed!

So are we all just assuming KP/Paper Person store is essentially out of business?

I still pop on here every few days but I just caught up with this thread and I am in shock. I used to be a dedicated KP/PP subner up until a couple of years ago and I am so sorry this has happened to so many of you.
What a terrible way to run a business not to mention leaving people high and dry with no explanation.
An absolute shame!

I'm tempted to message her on IG and ask when the promised winter clearance sale is happening. I know it isn't, clearly, but maybe she should be bugged about it?

The whole thing is just wild. You’d think at the very least she’d want to unload any leftover inventory. And why is the site still up??

Maybe coincidence, but her personal account also stopped accepting comments on the rare times she does post like in her Storys.

I feel like since we supported her lifestyle these past 7-ish years, don't we deserve some sort of information as to what is going on with the website? I don't give two shits anymore about what she does in her personal life, I want to know if there will be any new product or what is happening in general with the store. Even a simple, "the shop will be closing down in the next 6 months" or "I am pausing the website at this time and may open it in the future", would be fine.
