I wish she'd really jump into the Disney stamp, but I guess a villains stamp wouldn't be for everyone. Kelly's not much of a Disney park gal, is she? I'm sure there's demand from her customers for Disney stamps though... That set better not sell out before sale opens to the non-subbers. 😨 Oh, a villain stamp would be so welcome. I just found out our Disney park's Halloween season will have Ursula as the leading villain this year and I'm here for it! I have several of Kelly’s Disney stamps (at least three) and I love them all! I was surprised that one of them has a Mickey head - most companies dance around it to avoid the copyright issues. I’m looking forward to she what she releases, because one can never have too many Disney, HP, or book/read stamps!!

I am a subber, I would be happy to pick you up the stamp during presale if I can. You sweetheart, you. So kind to offer. I'll probably just wait it out and place an order myself (with an excuse to add other goodies, teehee). If the response to the Disney stamp set sneaks on IG is overwhelming, I might just panic and DM you. Otherwise, I'll just burn some sage, throw salt over my shoulder and cross my fingers. So much love for the offer. *blows kiss across the pond* Re: my order. I raced to the post office and got there just in time before they closed (damn their office hours). Picked up my envelope. No import fees, woohoo! I got the same kits as amidwestkingdom . Not sure about every single card and I'll probably sit down and check against the kit pictures I can find online tonight. Raising my eyebrow at another obvious typo: one of the 3x4 cards from Love Notes reads "par avigon" instead of "par avion." Avigon means nothing in French. Tsk tsk tsk. Pas bien. No bueno. I know Kelly is all about how much she loves Paris and how often she travels over but it's clearly not helping with basic spelling of French words. 🙊 "Hold my bottle of 'rosè' while I board the 'avigon', please..." Love all the rest, however. I'm itching to use the cards now! The LLP grab bag is really good and correctly priced at 10.5 in my opinion. Mine contains only 4x4 cards, 3x8 papers (I didn't know KP offered these) and TN papers. Super duper happy to find cards from the Halloween and Cookie Club kits in mine (the adorable Dala horse card is finally mine! julie5 #cookieparty). Tina's Currents TN papers are super versatile and look gorgeous IRL. No issues with the Breakfast stamp set I ordered either. All in all, very happy with this sale and the things I got. The grab bags work great together as well. I love that it's all fairly recent product as well unlike some other companies who use the "clean out" sale excuse to send stuff from years ago (*cough* SC *cough*).

I still haven't gotten my Hometown Love kit and I'm wondering If I should be concerned... I would be very worried by this point. Have you contacted Customer support yet? The contact us through the website never seems to work that well. I either send an email or else raise a Paypal dispute if after a week I don't get a response. Crossing fingers for you that they have some kits left cos that's a really fun one.

I also looked at my card statements and it looks like I never got charged, which is even weirder because I'm a 12 month subber.

Good news, they got back to me within an hour and said that since I'd placed an order in late April, the system saw that as my kit order and assumed I was fine. They're shipping a new one out today. Weird system, but I'm glad it's sorted so quickly, and thanks @northrigg for suggesting I reach out to them!

Not going to lie: the more I learn about the new release, the less enthusiastic I am. Disappointed in the "swag bags" that are essentially kits without stamp sets. 29.50 for a stamp-less kit is expensive and I don't need pencils and pins. Been there, bought that. I'm getting such flashbacks from Inked's dead endeavours. All the pins and "fun" pens and pencils I got from those kits (Happy Mail, Messy Box, Studio Calico) were given away or ended up in the charity box. It's unnecessary fluff. The spelling errors are already making my head spin. Maholo instead of mahalo. La dolce vida instead of vita (or dulce vida). Come on. How hard is it? I am happy to pay premium for the KP brand provided she doesn't make these really obvious mistakes. In a kit named Ciao nonetheless... I'm already wondering how many more mistakes I'll spot when I see the entire finished product. "It's authentically me" is her tag line for these new kits but all I could think is that it's authentically bad at foreign languages, all of 'em. Overall, I'm just disappointed. The first sneaks had me so hyped up.

I do like the different shapes, though, like the door hanger and the old school motel keychain.

spelling mistakes are not ok. Where do you see them? Literally in the photos she posts. "Maholo" was pointed out by several commenters on the KP Shop IG when they posted the first sneak for the Hawaii stamp set. La dolce "vida" is right there, circle-stamped three times on a 3x4 card that is partially shown in the Checked In & Ciao swag bag sneak in today's newsletter email titled: "It's time to do something different."

I purchased the KP Gilmore Girls stamp set and there is a spelling error. If I recall correctly there were two options offered to fix the issue... return the stamp set for a refund or keep the stamp set. That’s it. She didn’t send out a replacement stamp or refund a small portion of the purchase price. I was extremely disappointed.
After that incident I’ve been less inclined to purchase from her. I’m not saying I won’t ever buy a KP product but I think her resolution options sucked.

I was super excited about the swag bags but hadn't looked at the items too closely, so I'm glad you guys pointed out the spelling errors. What I don't understand is that Kelly has admitted she is a bad speller, so why doesn't she have someone check over her items before sending them into production? Anyway, I think the swag bag concept is cool, but I'll probably only end up liking about half of each bag, so I'm not sure it would be worth it for me. Personally, I'd much rather have the items sold individually so that I could pick and choose what I like. They might be slightly more expensive that way, but I wouldn't have to pay $29 and I could get doubles of items if I wanted to.

She misspelled Gryffindor TWICE on 2 different stamp sets months apart. Honestly she seems even more bored than Ali. I won’t be surprised if Kelly moves on from dirty S word scrapbooking like Becky, Amy Tan, Elsie.

Cute, but I just can't get past her blatant copyright violations. The I heart NY logo is trademarked and owned by the State of New York (my employer). Not my division, but I know the people who do it and it is such a hassle to go after the trademark violators. But it's not just this one time, she does this all the time with Harry Potter, Disney, etc.

If someone (like KP) violates another company's trademark, the brand that owns it has to send them a cease and desist letter warning them that the image/logo is trademarked and letting the violator know how much they need to pay to continue using it (if the company wants to allow). Then the violator has the option to pay or stop using it immediately. If they don't, the company that owns the trademark can sue them and, as long as they can prove it is a their image (some of the movie related stuff she might have an argument saying it just looks similar, but the I heart NY I know for a fact is trademarked, owned by New York State and it looks exactly like that), the violator will have to pay them all of the profits they made on selling the product and additional damages.
But... that is a lot of work for the company that owns the trademark and involves significant legal fees. Companies (or in the case of the I heart NY logo, taxpayers) just don't have/want to devote the time/resources to go after someone who is violating their trademark on such a small scale, especially for a limited release. If she had it constantly stocked in her shop they would probably change that, but by the time they sent her the cease and desist letter she will already be sold out. They could still sue her and require her to pay them damages/their profits, but that takes time and resources and her profits from it are likely not that much. She could argue that just the one image is trademarked and people are buying the whole stamp set... in the end she would probably not have to pay that much.
So basically, she's wrong and what she's doing is illegal, but she can get away with it so she just does it anyway. I highly doubt she is unaware of the law, especially being a designer herself, and I would imagine if someone else stole her designs she would go after them.

Thank you for explaining it. That is very interesting. Like you said, with her being a designer she's surely aware of copyright laws.

Will post if I get one, hope you will do the same. Do you think we get to shop early? This is not the monthly kit right, this is a separate kit?

I'm sure we get to shop at our normal "early" time 10am EST, but that means we also don't have the passwords for entering early/discount code if we don't have the e-mail with the pdfs. I can assume what it will be based off prior codes, but odd to not have the e-mail yet. I'll shoot an e-mail to KP and let you know if I hear back. Thanks for replying so fast!

Mine just showed up too. So weird!
So, I know this should be obvious, but the travel collection she has been talking about it just the normal kit? I am fine if that is what it is, I just want to see if I need to be online super early or not! So the swag bags and extra stamps are the shopping items for this month?

Yes, I was just confused because she kept talking about the upcoming “collection” rather then talking about the upcoming kits. I thought maybe she was doing something along the lines of Ali, a kit but then an extra release. Thank you!

I think it was easier to call it "collection" than "usual subscription and add ons and my super special project stuff". I'm snagging a Disney stamp!
