I´m trying to get an overview over what kits are out there nowadays. Thought I would check out this months Felicity Jane kits, but it seems like they have stopped selling kits too? I like some of the Citrus Twist kits but their site sucks! I almost placed an order, but there was no shipping quote, and no mention as to what it might be. The only kit i subscribe to at the time is Kelly Purkey (I LOVE them, but I´ve subbed from the start and they are a bit repetitive!!), but I´m looking for another one. Here is my list so far:
Kelly Purkey Ali Edwards Studio Calico Citrus Twist Gossamer Blue Cocoa Daisy Hip Kit Club Clique Kits
Are there any more?

I'm going to go ahead and recommend you stay away from Inked Brands' kits. The quality has gone down significantly and they've become very skimp (Ali Edwards, Studio Calico and Messy Box from ABM although that's ending in August). There are a few other current monthly kit clubs out there like the brand new Fairytale Club and Elle's Studio's monthly kit. If you're in Europe, there are also smaller monthly kit clubs available. FJ is still offering a kit subscription, by the way.

Felicity Jane still sells kits and they are beautiful and one of a kind. They are currently having a Christmas in July sale where Christmas items are 50% of and MOST other items in the store are 25% off with the code JULY 25.

I currently sub to scrap-room.com, felicity jane, and clique kits. I love the scrap-room because you get 4 different mini kits each month and you can buy add ons if you choose of embellishments, cardstock or patterned paper. It's only $24 a month. I love felicity jane because they are beautiful. And clique kits has a well put together kit.
There is also mycreativescrapbook.com, noelmignon.com, and hero arts and Simon says stamp do stamping kits

yeah, Citrus Twist's site isn't the greatest, but I've been a subscriber almost since they started and they have great customer service. Email Trina at citrustwistkits@yahoo.com and you will get a prompt reply to any questions you may have. I'm super excited that Adele Toomey (Inkie Quill on YT) is now on their design team!

I've tried almost every kit there is and I'm sticking with citrus twist. Hers are the imo best value, most diverse with exclusives and regular manufacturer stuff, she spreads the love around and there's something from every major release. Once you get to the website it's not that bad. I don't like cocoa daisy because you basically can't get anything unless you sub, her main focus seems to be planners. Don't like Felicity Jane because it's 100% exclusive and frankly too pricey. And I feel limited when I use them because they don't mix well with other supplies. Anything to do with inked brands--you're just asking to be butt f*cked. Hip kits end up being too samey to me.

And gossamer blue is ok but they tend to get samey, she's having issues getting stuff out on time, it's got too many exclusives, and the shipping is usually high. And she has put kits on a $10 sale at the end of the same month--I think that's pretty shitty myself.

I've wanted to join her kit club for a while, but at first I couldn't make the commitment on the cost. Then when I was ready, I could never make it during her open enrollment periods. I'm thrilled I saw her sign up this time.

I subscribe to Hip Kit, Citrus Twist, and Cocoa Daisy. My thoughts on each: I was surprised that the other poster recommended Citrus Twist. It is my least favorite and I keep thinking I'll unsubscribe but I haven't found another kit club to replace it yet. You do get a very diverse selection of things and some neat extras like velum, acrylic shapes, flair, ribbon, book pages, fabric, etc. That stuff is fun. It also comes with a sheet of white and a sheet of cream cardstock. It does not always include an alphabet. My problem with it is that nothing goes together. It is so weird. I'm sure they are lovely people who put the kits together but every time I open one up I wonder what they've been smoking. There doesn't seem to be an over all color scheme or theme to tie everything together. It is just so random. I also don't like their website. I can never use them as a kit- I end up breaking up the kits and just adding parts to my other kits. They also use a lot of Pinkfresh and I really don't like their stuff. I usually throw those parts into my giveaway pile. I think Cocoa Daisyis my favorite kit right now. They are pretty good about having everything matching, in theme, color, or both. And the exciting thing about this month's kit is that it all went together and there was no pink! Amazing. I like pink but the whole pink thing is getting really ridiculous. I also think Cocoa Daisy has quite a bit of product in each kit. They also include one piece of white cardstock and two sheets of other colors that match the patterned paper. They almost always include an alphabet, a package of die cuts, and something 3 dimensional like buttons or dots. I just think their kits are really easy to work with. I also like Hip Kits a lot. Their products usually go together really well, although this month I thought the paper was all over the place. I also thought this month had more product than usual but I haven't been tracking that, so I'm not sure. Hip Kit usually has an alphabet (sometimes two), but they never include any cardstock. I like their website. They have quite a few different kinds of kits (even a color one, with things like distressed ink, modeling paste, stencils, etc.) I was pretty excited about the embellishments this month- everything was summer themed and went together. It contained an alphabet, two sticker sheets, a package of die cuts, and a package of wood shape stickers. I think it is going to be really easy to work with. It also has two pieces of paper designed by Ingrit that are really fun. I'm sure that this is more info than you really wanted, but I love my kits and find it interesting how my opinion of them differs from other people's.

Yeah, it's a little over the top for me, but it's just part of her internet persona, I guess. At any rate, it must be working for her since she's now making a living from it. And I think Heidi Swapp should give her a lifetime supply of gold color shine for all the free advertising Adele has given her.

I currently sub to CD and really like the kits. I have previously subbed to CT and Hip Kit. I found Citrus Twist got really random when Trina started doing exclusive product- things didn't clearly go together anymore. And the website is really confusing.
I liked HP a lot but just felt like a change. The colours in the kits seemed to get very samey.
