Not fond of cutesy critters, not even from HA. Kind of like the concept of the PPP holiday set, but the execution seems…kinda meh.

Don’t need or want cutesy critters and PPP, no thanks. All in all Stamptember has been a disappointment. I even decided to pass on the magnolias and instead used the free shipping code to get a few copics and some ink refills, things I’ll actually use.

I'm in the minority though because I think the capybaras are so cute! I don't buy holiday specific items, though so I passed on them. My daughter has been loving capybaras for a couple of years now so I'll have to show her that set! I asked my son (early 20s) last night if he'd ever heard of capybaras, because I hadn't. He said yes, they're extremely popular among Gen-Z, all his friends love them. He sent me the cutest video of them. There are hot springs in Japan where you can bathe and watch the capybaras bathe in their own (separate) hot spring, and a capybara cafe where you can pet them while you drink coffee. He'll be in Japan for school next year so he's going to try some of their more unusual attractions. You'll have to tell your daughter that she can visit the capybaras! So now I'm rethinking this capybara set lol

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Hero Arts.....No MFT.......Cute, but I have no need for that Pretty Pink Posh....yawn. More holiday?? Lots of not sold-out sets. Is this a first? In the past, I don't normally check every day. Still waiting for my Festive Flowers to ship. My red ink should be here tomm.
Brands I love I said no to. Brands that are reaches for me I said no to. I'm shocked that I haven't shopped at all, usually by now I'm looking at multiple transactions trying to figure out what I did.
I've been watching consistently for the past few years and I've never seen so many sets still available.

Wow, it’s a no from me on both sets of critters. I was expecting something different from Hero Arts.
The PPP set is interesting. I like it with the banner and doves for Christmas, I think you could combine it with an ornament topper die for a slightly different look (slightly), and I do like the option to add the heart for a “smiles across the miles” kind of card. But with only 3 sentiments to fit in the banner and 2 of them being Christmas it’s a lot of money for not a lot of product. I wish they’d added a few alternates like “you mean the world to me” or ?? (I can’t think of any more at the moment) might’ve made it feel like better value. But the price with dies? Oof!
I don’t remember ever being so underwhelmed by so many brands.

Don't like the Hero Arts animals.
MFT I like, but my kids are grown and no grands yet. No littles around me. No need. I thought the set was a good price point though.
PPP-don't like at all. An America-centric globe. No.

How long ago did you order it? Monday 9/11 Wow, it took them 10+ days to ship, that's slow. Last year for Tim Holtz's release he did a live video with Heidi to announce it, didn't he? It was at 8 am Eastern, I think. I remember watching it before work. Or was that the year before? Anyway, I keep expecting an announcement for a live.

I'm not sure what time, YT won't tell me, but I wouldn't think it was that early because he is closer to the west coast, isn't he? 8amET would be hella early over here. He's live streaming his Stampers Anon Xmas today so if he's doing a live it's probably not this weekend.

Zoe Hillman posted on Tim Holtz Addicts that Tim's Stamptember will be next Saturday, the 30th at 9:15 am PT/12:15 pm ET.
ETA after watching all his live today: He will go live at 9:00/12:00 The stamptember will go live on sale at 9:15/12:15. He said this was to give people time to watch the live and see what it is and decide if is something they want before having to try to get online and hurry and buy as soon as it is revealed. It is one of his favorites, he said. And he says he does NOT expect it to sell out within minutes. It did not last year either. Took it a good little while.

I’m still safe. This set isn’t really my style but I bet it would make cute cards.

I’m surprised, I really expected the cake slice to be sold out by this morning.

Now y'all are making me second-guess myself....
Lucky for me, or at least my CC balance, SSS's site is not compatible with this laptop's browser, so I'll have to check again later on the iPad.

Thanks for clearing that up - I got it mixed up - it was actually Cyber Monday that he was on live with Heidi, that's the one I watched before leaving for work. It was super early for him: www.youtube.com/live/5jfls2PBq0s?si=RCF3wMTWX0JtEQHH

It looks like either most people are going all in and getting the stamp+die sets, or they have lower stock of those - they seem to be selling out faster than the stamps alone. I already have a cake slice set I barely use so I def don't need another, but the sentiments on the stamptember set are quite nice. Still lots of unsold sets.

I really like the Dare 2be Artzy birthday set, which is surprising since I never buy their stuff. But I have tons of birthday stamps and even a few cake slice stamps (none as whimsical as this one though).
I wonder how the free shipping affected their sales. I only purchased one Stamptember set, but did make two other purchases just because of the free shipping. They have such a wide selection of brands, was easy to find what I wanted there.

I think it would be easier to bite the bullet on the stamp+die set with the free shipping offer. Otherwise, you'd have to find another $9 in product to get free shipping. Doesn't make sense dollar wise or time wise, but it is easy to justify, lol.

I almost never buy from Simon, but this code has me purchasing quite a bit.

I ended up getting the birthday cake slice stamp set. I liked it from the beginning, but it wasn't until I watched the Nicole Sphor (?) video that pushed me over the edge. I'm ready to get rid of my other birthday stamps and start fresh. I only have a couple. While checking out I discovered the ghost stencil was sold out. The product listing does not say "when it is sold out, it is gone". Only the kit does. It will come back won't it?
