I think I really like the font they are using this month. I like the encouraging messages...it'll be great for cardmakers. Curious to see what else it has and if they've brought back the 6x8 stamp set. The last couple of months has had me thinking they jumped the shark. It would be nice to be proven wrong.

There were so many great kits in 2017 and 2018 is "Love" and now birds? I'm guessing there will be more mini ink pads based on the sneaks. I'm also guessing woodgrain paper, and maybe that flat circle is a die. At least it has more reach than last month.
I'm giving it one more month before I drop. Mainly because I love getting kits instead of free shopping and don't want to try and find another card kit.

I cancelled in December and glad I did. I am not impressed with those cards either.

So there aren't dies for the branches (or it's an add on and they didn't get the dies)...you can see cut marks. I hope they aren't permanently cheaping out.

If you want to do birds, at least make them a bit more interesting with a few layers etc.

I really hope not. The last kit barely felt like $35 of value which "shockingly" (sarcasm) hasn't sold out. Hopefully, they're seeing the reviews from the last couple months and are turning it around. I don't know what their standard planning out time is, but I hope they're going back to 6x8 stamps and a good number of dies. I don't need 5 new ink pads every month; I'd rather see a few more coordinating dies. |

For some reason I’m going through a bird phase. I honestly have no idea why. Anyway a few months ago I bought a really nice bird layering stamp from Hero Arts. The set has a branch and some flowers as well I got the dies as well since I don’t like fussy cutting.
Do they sell the mostly kots or are they only for subbers?

They typically have some you can buy 1 off. Monday at 10am Pacific they go on sale. 4 months ago the kits wouldn't last 12 hours. The last few months have been duds so people might not be rushing to buy first thing |

What did people not like about their last few kits? I didn't like the Oasis one because - limiting. I didn't like the Love because of the font. On the November kit, I would have bought it except the dies made a tag and I would have preferred to not have the extra hole at the top of the ornament. I can always add a tag hole if I need one. I didn't like October because the stamps and dies were too tiny for me.
I always get really close to buying one, but never quite like it well enough.

I've liked some of the previous kits, but so far the sneaks on this one aren't reeling me in.

I really don't like punny sentiments. And that doesn't look like a gull to me.

After seeing these sneaks I’m not really impressed with the bird images. I like the layering stamps or ones you can color in for definition. I’ll be saving my money for better things.

This will probably be my last kit. I just started subscribing in November, skipped that kit, got the Love kit, and missed cancelling this month. I like the birds but I prefer spending my money on all the new Tim Holtz stuff! I just don’t see the kit having a value of $35.
I used to buy the illustrated faith monthly kits but they have been so disappointing lately.
Stampers Anonymous, Tim Holtz, should start a monthly kit.

I recently found out that Tonic Studios has a kit. I have not subscribed nor received a kit from them. This month (Feb) is Butterfly's, not my thing. But I'll be checking for the future. It's kind of expensive at $39.99 per month, but it looks to be filled with lots of stuff. I'll try it when I see a stamp set I'll use. Tonic Kit |

I used to love hero arts kits but past few months have been disappointing. I picked up bird stamp from pinkfresh studio yesterday. Can not wait for it to arrive. Birds and bowsI love that papertrey ink stamp too. I have it and it is really fun to use. A big papertrey ink fan girl here. |

I didn't know Tonic had a kit GiantsFan. Not my style this month and I agree it does seem a bit pricey. I'm also mostly interested in stamps and dies since I have a lot of basics like papers. |

That Tonic kit looks great, especially since I don't have many of their products. Thanks for sharing the info. The butterfly this month is a pass for me, but I'd definitely be interested in future kits.

sigh. okay, i cancelled. Sigh. I didn't want to cancel, as before subbing 2 months ago i liked so many of the kits. But money is tight now and I really can't buy stuff that i don't know if i will use.
i will look into SSS again--i did like their kits, although a bit too techniquey for me.
