I think Kelly makes decent money from her shop so her decision to (semi) close in just 2 months comes a bit like a surprise (I'm guessing it's due to the news she's been hired). While the swag bags sold well, they did feel like a final attempt at making herself capture her scrap mojo again. She's been struggling with documenting for a few years now and openly admitted on IG Stories that Jamaica Edgell had kicked her buttocks back into action in late 2018. Result? A few videos on her YT channel in very early 2019 and despite claiming she'd try to make these regularly again, her YT feed has sat empty ever since. Her email freebies are also very rare despite promising they'd be a regular thing (every other Friday, I think?). She just doesn't have it in herself anymore and the several public promises/announcements didn't come to fruition.
Kudos to her for moving on before her customers are completely over all the spelling mistakes and typos and bad CS. I do think KP's shop peaked around 2017-2018 so now is a good time to try something else. Wishing her a smooth transition and renewed energy + happiness with her new career. Her shop's IG feed is filled with comments from people having major issues with their orders and contacting CS. It ain't pretty.
I'll miss her snark, pop culture references and alpha stickers. I've set the goal to buy a new camera for early 2020 so no scrappy orders for me, alas. I'd have happily helped clean out the sticker-side of her shop otherwise.

Add me to the list of people with KP issues. I had ordered the Fifth Avenue solid and outline numbers. I did not test stamp them when I got them.
Well I broke them out to use in my 2020 Project Life...The outline has the backer for the outline...but the stamps are actually the exact same as the solid.
I’ve just sent an email. I will send a PayPal dispute if I don’t hear back.

Dang, for someone with virtually no kp stuff, this is a good deal. I don’t need it I don’t need it I don’t need ANY more stamps.

I think you're right, especially since the dimensions for many of the stamps line up with those for her planner stamp line from back in the day. I'd be tempted by it, but I already own most of them! 😂

Yeah, I'm sure it's strictly Hero Arts swag. And I have the majority of the stamps she released. All the planner ones and the City ones.

I bet you guys are right. I wouldn't buy the bundle because I've been a subscriber for so long and need another stamp like I need another hole in my head but I was curious as to what else what might be in there.

KP was able to resend my missing order, but I am wondering if she sent me the misfits, since they are sold out. My backed outline has the solid stamps too, but luckily my backed solid has the outline stamps.

I bought something from Hero Arts last night (well, I bought a few things but who’s counting?) Since I was already buying a couple of kits, I added the Kelly Purkey mystery bundle. Once it arrives, I’ll share with the peas what it contains!

I love those KP post its and use them a lot on my PL pages. They are great for little pops of color layered with a stamped word or a die cut.

I bought the solid 5th Avenue stamp in Nov along. It was missing in my order...so I didn't receive it until recently...like others the solid stamp is actually the outline ...but during the time I was waiting for it, I decided I'd rather have the outline anyway - so my lucky day!

So I received the Hero Arts KP Mystery bundle. There was a lot of stuff in it—and none of it was anything I already had! You all were correct—everything is the Clearly Kelly brand. There were TEN 2.5X6 inch clear planner stamp sets Four 3X4 inch clear stamp sets One Stamp and Die combo set (Kelly’s Planner Banners) Two packs of sticky notes (one of them is the planner one posted earlier in the thread) One 4X6 printed paper pad— 5 designs, 6 sheets of each design
Again, none of them are duplicates of anything I already owned, so not a bad deal. The cost was $45 and I already qualified for free shipping for the other Hero Arts kits I was buying. Not necessarily all sets I would’ve purchased at full price, but they may come in handy now that I have been doing more Travel Notebook size scrapping and have started looking at planners.

That sounds like a great deal - about $3 per stamp set, plus free bonus papers! If I hadn't purchased most (if not all) of the Clearly Kelly planner sets over the years, I'd be all over that deal.

I'm glad you'll be able to use most everything!

I just got January kit and I’m surprised to see that number outline stamp I ordered was actually the outline, given all of the issues everyone else seemed to have.

I'm hoping to receive mine since I unsubscribed. I'm sure they're starting with subscribers first since the postage isn't an extra charge.
