I already cancelled my LP sub because I need to keep the cost down so I don't get hit with customs charges again but honestly I'm pretty close to cancelling my sb sub too. Lots of cute new other lines coming out and to be honest the paper didn't wow me for the June kit. The embellishments were cute but the papers weren't anything special.

I really loved the June kit so I decided to sub, but now I'm wondering what the next kit will look like . . .

I have been looking for sneaks all week and haven't seen one yet. Anyone else? Someone just posted in the facebook group that they heard that there is been a delay with the kits this month. It would be better to have an announcement about it than to leave people wondering. I am going to cancel at least one subscription this month for cost reasons and am waiting to see sneaks. If there aren't sneaks soon, I'll just go ahead and cancel both as I want to know what I am getting beforehand.

I agree heatherh I already cancelled my LP sub and honestly I was waiting for the sneaks before deciding on the sb kit. Right now I'm pretty close to cancelling the whole thing. There are some cute new collections coming up that I want anyways so its not like there isn't some shiny new thing around the corner.

Strange since I searched GB sneaks on IG and got a sneak from weeks ago for the July LP kit. But, it could just mean that part is on time and part is not. I hope it's not a money thing because that's what happened with Scraptastic before they just vanished into thin air.

It's so weird. I hope not as I really have loved their style lately. I cancelled my CD sub and switched to gb.
I was missing a piece of my CD kit and never got it, despite contacting them several times and since I didnt like the designs for the last 3 mths I finally quit.

She just posted this on the facebook group: Gossamer Blue: Usually sneaks are posted on our lookbook page on the 15th. There was a manufacturing delay and I posted on the 15th that the sneaks would be up this week. I'm sorry it's taking until the end of the week to share them. Tomorrow the subscriber newsletter goes out tomorrow and I'll include sneaks there too!
So I guess I'll wait to tomorrow to see the sneaks and then decide about cancellation.

She definitely should have communicated better about this. This post on facebook was a comment in response to several people asking about sneaks so I don't think it was a planned post, but just an answer to a question.

She is usually a lot clearer with communication regarding delays. During my early days (within the first 6 months) of subscribing with her, she had a medical emergency and had friends and family send out several updates regarding kit status and when she was expected to return working. They were so clear and apologetic that I couldn't have cared less and simply wished her well in her recovery (I think her appendix burst and she had to have emergency surgery).

Even digital sneaks would have been nice to see.

I actually just went and cancelled, I can't take the chance. Thinking that I'm done with kit clubs for a while.

Can you see the kit previews? I just looked again and can't see them. Do I need to change browsers? No, they are not posted yet.

I saw this posted on GB's IG. Is that a July sneak of the chipboard or no? Unfortunately no nicolep . Look on the GB website at June's kit - that's the chipboard in it. ETA needtime2scrap and I were posting at the same time aveSaveSave

LOL nicolep I can understand you wanting to get a glimpse of the kit. Not very good at all. I can understand sneaks being delayed by a few days but 2 weeks???

If what Lori says is legitimate and not saving face, I truly hope that she's receiving both this month's and next month's kits this week. I might have cut ties just in time if the former is more accurate. I'm kind of disappointed to hear all of this, even as a sale shopper now (even though it's only been 2 months, lol) because their cards are the best I've seen.
Scraptastic's were thick, but I don't love the gloss. They were actually kind of TOO thick, if that's possible. Kelly Purkey's have a sheen on them, but not too bad...however, you can't place sticky things (even lightly tacky ones) on her cards unless you're sure you want them to stay because the color comes up when you remove it. Cocoa Daisy's when I subbed (they've likely changed since summer of 2013 so my opinion is way out of date) were the same as KP's, some sort of soy ink that didn't stay put...it was actually worse than my experience with KP. Citrus Twist's have the sheen on them, but are a comparable weight and I haven't noticed an issue with color coming off. The sheen isn't my favorite, though. Studio Calico's are thin and the ink doesn't take to the paper crisply.
The one thing Gossamer Blue definitely got right was their paper/ink choice for their cards, even if they are overly pink and floraly. I love everything about them. Same with Elle's Studio. Her cards are also well saturated, the color doesn't transfer and the paper weight is perfect.

So the one time they don't do a crapton of pink, they're late? Why does that seem incredibly ironic to me? I am actually really loving the look of it!! I hope they make it to a sale. I was really happy to pick up the May kits on discount and am kind of keeping my hopes up that June ends up $10 or $15 very soon, lol.

Some of those phrases, banners and chipboard things definitely have an SC vibe.
