If anyone is interested in just the Birthday Wishes stamp please let me know. I will have two stamp sets as I newly subscribed to the main kit today, after purchasing the main kit on release day. I may be interested. I have been looking at the full kit over and over, but I may be just happy to have the stamp set. How much were you thinking of selling for? Also, totally jealous that you subscribed. I am trying to be good and save my monies, lol.

As a subscriber, the tag stamp with the kit is kinda meh, but I can see the possibilities when joined with the add-on stamp. That could just be me and now I'm going to purchase the add-on since I'm lame. The other stamps don't interest me at all, but it gives me lots of hope for future releases. The colors of the kit are all sorts of heart eyes though. Don't forget if you're a subscriber, you'll only have tomorrow to add onto your order since it's a short month. ORDER QUICKLY!!!

I'm not liking much except for the colors of the main kit. The tag stamp *shrugging shoulders* and I have zero interest in the other new stamps.
Feeling kind of bored...

I actually like the versatility of the tag stamp. It’s not season or event specific, which I feel like her past kits have been. I like the colors but I feel like she’s done that before. Like the label sheet is the same as one I already own.

I will totally try to order the add on too, I wish she would give subber 12 hours though, the time she opens it up for subbers is right after I have started my day and I am pretty much unable to log in until well after it is open everyone. 2 hours is better then a kick in the teeth, but it is a really short window.

I really love the sneaks of the cards that I've seen from the main kit so I will likely pick it up. I'm not a huge fan of the tag stamp though, but this is mostly because I am not a fan of stamps with large solid blocks of color because I can never seem to stamp them clearly. I also tend to use black ink for 90% of my stamping which doesn't work for a stamp like this. If it was a tag outline I would be a lot more excited for it.
dawnnikol I agree about the add-on being kinda necessary to get the full potential out of the main stamp. KP has done this before with previous kits and I think it's a little unfair to make an add-on so integral to getting the most out of your kit. The kit should be able to stand alone. I think it would've been better in this case if the main stamp had one or two of the tag shapes + most of the words/lines from the add-on stamp so you could get the full potential out of it from within the kit. Then she could've created an add-on stamp with the extra tag shapes if you wanted more variety, but you wouldn't have a main kit that seemed like only half of the stamp.

I like the tag maker stamp and the add on. It works for how I scrap, it’s a neutral embellishment that I can use forever.

Pleasantly surprised to find my kit is out for delivery today! KP also has sneaks up on the shop's IG story. Looks like some good foodie stuff.

Ugh, really annoyed. I re-subbed to KP when she came out with the new stamp only sub. I got the early subscriber access emails for both this and the TN kit that I had already cancelled. I had experience with them charging me for a kit that they have confirmed that they cancelled so I reached out to make sure that I wasn't still subbed to TN, only stamp. Did not hear back at all.
Now, it is mid-March and I never got a shipping update or anything. They did charge me for the sub when I signed up. So I reached out again, but big surprise, no response. It has now been 2 business days since the last time I contacted them.
I love KP's products (I have most of her stuff in my stash), but I seriously regret re-subbing. There has been so many issues, including an accusation that I used a coupon code while not subbed. I literally paid for my sub with my PayPal account and pay for all the other products using that same PayPal account! *Rolls eyes*
Despite all of that, I gave them another chance to improve their customer service, but obviously, considering that I have not heard back from them in weeks, that was a huge mistake. Well, I guess I can dispute the charge through PayPal and get my money back that way. Just a major hassle and I really wanted the current stamp... Oh well.

I had a similar problem, no response from customer service. In the end I opened a PayPal dispute, and next day they contacted me. I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but I'd go ahead and open one. KP resolved my issue, so I closed my dispute.

She's having a birthday sale until Friday, in case you want to place an order.
I'm sorry you guys are having issues with her CS, that sucks hardcore.

Wait - they accused you of using a coupon code without a sub? And you say no? I’d make them show me proof. If they are gonna be accusing people then then need to back it up.

I don’t always check my promotion emails. I got the XL Park Slope alphabet that I have been swooning over I missed out Highline Outlines though.

Yeah, so what happened was that my account with KP had an email address that didn't match my PayPal email. All my emails redirect to the same mailbox though so I didn't bother changing it. Every time I checked out, I clicked on the PayPal option b/c that was easiest for me.
I used to work in marketing and I kept a CMS with all customer info so if someone used a different email, as long as their other info was the same, I would still know that it's them. So I'm really disappointed that they didn't bother to check that I checked out with the same PayPal every time and just went off of the account email address for matching who was abusing their codes. It's lazy and a great way to lose customers.
I just looked back at that email thread and they totally didn't bother apologizing for making this mistake. But the other time where they charged me after I cancelled, they also didn't bother refunding me. The fact that they don't apologize for their mistakes or make them right makes them even worse than Studio Calico. At least SC does something... even if it's not always what you want.
Sigh. I suppose it's my fault though b/c I keep re-subbing despite all these issues so they think they can just keep on operating this way.

heartistic You can always check out using Paypal going the "traditional" route (normal check-out instead of the quick PP check-out) when buying from KP. Maybe that would clear the problem? Although, I must say, I feel your frustration and annoyance. I've dealth with radio silence from her CS before on several occasions and grew really frustrated with the issue (especially when they finally got back to me the last time, almost everything I'd purchased was sold out by then). I don't know why KP doesn't do something about this. We've been mentioning it for over 2 years on 2PR. It shouldn't take more than 6 months to solve for a small indie business.
I'm considering placing an order with the birthday code before it expires. Just alpha stickers and one of the Christmas kits on sale (half the price off with -35% extra from the code 🤪 ). I keep going back and forth, wondering if I'll be unlucky again with CS and have to battle it out.
Silver lining: I'm a more careful spender nowadays, I guess. 🤷
But, we can all agree that Oh What Fun kit designed by LLP would go well with Crate Paper's Merry Days, right? Don't mind me, just talking myself into buying the kit over here... 😬

sleepingbooty I think the colors in the LLP kit are a little bolder, but I could see the two kits meshing pretty well. Are you still working on DD 2018 or are you planning for next year? With that level of discount on KP, if you like the LLP kit you should definitely go for it!

With that level of discount on KP, if you like the LLP kit you should definitely go for it! I ended up placing my order a little while ago. You are right: the colours are a bit bolder than Merry Days for the paper products (the chipboard is rather bright in MD) but I think it should mix well together nevertheless. I'm planning out DD 2019 already : still loads of Merry Days left and my very last clear acrylic 3x8 cover.
Agh, before we know it, we'll be getting the first looks at the upcoming Christmas collections! The December cycle never ends in the scrappy world.

So now that the email is out about tomorrow's release, what does everyone plan on getting?
I want to get the LLP cooking and coffee stamps. The That's Bananas kit is cute, but I could see it being on sale in the future. The main kit stamp is tempting too. I'm trying not to get too much after spending a lot during last month's release and then the birthday sale.

But then again, I am generally, other than those awful eyes and lips, usually a fan of LLP Thanks for confirming! I look forward to turning this kit + Merry Days into a pretty 3x8 DD album this year. Like you, I'm a big Tina fan (with the occasional WTF-is-this exception ). Sigh, still nothing. Not even to the PayPal dispute. This is getting ridiculous. It is getting ridiculous. I know it once took a couple of weeks before they got back to me. Keep sending emails. Every other day. ETA: I got an email today confirming a parcel from KP was on its way so it looks like I got fulfilled quickly this time. Yay!

So now that the email is out about tomorrow's release, what does everyone plan on getting? Probably nothing as I just placed an order and have to make sure I make the $15 flat rate worth it. But otherwise, I'm kind of in love with ALL the invidual stamps this month. Probably because all of them, except the alphas, are food-related! *nom nom* Just hoping the Happy Hour set will still be available or restocked when I do place a new order a little later this year.

DH and I just about had a melt down after our quote for only 2 windows and 1 door for our kitchen remodel. We plan to eventually replace all of our windows (97 year old originals) but the first 2 are painful. I may need to work another 10 years to pay for windows!
