Oh I'm going to need that one. I'm marking the calendar to be ready to buy that. Unless the next previews look awful or something.

Looks interesting but need to see more before I consider buying.

I love the coaster silhouette image here. I don't love the 'fair' aspect and wish it was solidly amusement park, but if I can make it work for amusement parks, I'm buying it without the slightest hesitation.

Not sold yet either. I do like the plane flying with the banner, though. Reminds me of my childhood seeing planes flying with banners on the beach.  |

Another good card! I think I have a stamp similar to the Ferris Wheel from Club Scrap, but it's bigger than this one.  Still loving what I'm seeing! I've got my alarm set for release time (1 PM Eastern time) on Monday! |

If you have the beach one you can use the clouds with this kit. This ones not for me but does look like it could crossover to the scrapbooking side with the amusement park theme.

Yep. I think i am buying this one. I have been wanting amusement park things for ages and while this is a bit more faire like, it looks to have pieces that can cross over...plus we do pop up faires during autumn so i can always use them in those pl weeks.

It's quite different from anything I have but I'm still not convinced. Not sure how much use I'd actually get from it.

I think the plane card using the infinity cloud dies is the only sneak I don't like so far. It's pretty bad.
The rest is just divine. I'm really hoping that it ends up being like the Christmas set that had lots of intricate little pieces except on a larger scale (so not as many pieces, obviously). I really hope the full reveal doesn't disappoint and that I love it as much as I do now. So many die cuts to be made from it! I was really excited getting a $5 stamp set from Echo Park at the Expo in April because it had a Ferris Wheel on it, but this has the makings to be so much better and will make me feel better about being too cheap to get the theme park set from Studio Calico.

Another sneak! Wonder if this would be a good Halloween card?   |

Last sneak until the release tomorrow! I can't figure out how the skyline stamp is, where does it start and where does it stop? I'm wondering if it's a bunch of small stamps and you can put them where you want...   |

Nice projects but I've decided its a kit I just wouldn't use that much. Probably a good thing!

There is a solo roller coaster stamp in it, too, from more sneaks. Unless there is something drastically wrong (like posting the wrong sneaks) I need this kit. Even though it is a set item on my phone calendar, I have been having major issues with not getting my notifications. So I set an alarm Friday for it...I don't want to miss out. I wonder if more people like me (not card makers) will be drawn to versus it being a huge hit with the card maker world or if both will love it and it will sell out really quick.

Where did the month go?! I'm only just catching up on what people did with the last kit, and I haven't done most of what I plan to do with the kit before that.
Am I the only one who is bothered by how the "hello there" only just fits inside that banner? It feels really crowded to my eye. I wish they'd made the banner slightly longer.
Some of the designs look really cool, but I think I'm just liking the silhouette effect on the ink blending colors they've chosen. I need to do yellow fading into blue! The county fair/country feel of the images doesn't quite work for me, and the sentiments don't look very useful for my purposes. The plane flying above the clouds is a nice idea (not especially well executed) but I don't need this kit to make that.
It's nice but I don't need it.

The plane flying above the clouds is a nice idea (not especially well executed) but I don't need this kit to make that. It's nice but I don't need it. I love your perspective. I look at the kit completely different than a card maker. I look at the graphics because card sentiments are almost entirely unusable to me. My only complaint is that the sentiments are rather large and will eat into the number of beautiful images they could have included.
I really hope that all of the images have dies for them, since they are larger the number of dies needed should be fewer. The only one I could see maybe being excluded is the really long silhouette one...I'm crossing my fingers for the roller coaster to have a die for it since it's one of the ones I like the most that I have seen cut out but can't tell if it's die precision or cut by hand (I'm looking for ephemera options) My drawback with the tiny image stamp set for Christmas was that they only included some of the dies for the images. No drawback if I had a scan n cut, but I don't and I just don't want to fight with my cameo to go through the process of figuring out how to do that...I need easy or I won't do it.
Nice to see the perspective of a cardmaker and I agree with another prior comment that this would mix well with the kit from last month...figure out how to make a dock and you could make a seaside fair (something like the Santa Monica Pier comes to mind).

I love love love love love it. So freaking love it. There are so many months where I like the kit (like last month but it had already sold out by the time I remembered to look) that I am on the fence about. THESE are the kits that make me happy. I struggle to commit to things (not just scrappy...hubby has to hit confirm on most purchases and I tell him he's lucky I already married him because my commitment issues now would make that a very hard thing to do, lol) so for me to click purchase without hesitation (other than to glance at the add-ons) is HUGE praise.

I got the kit and also the Ornate Carousel Horses stamps and dies.
I did notice a huge background die in the kit, but I haven't seen it used in any of the sneaks. I hope they give us some ideas on how to use it.

Did you get one? They're on sale NOW! Checked out and then promptly came searching for this post.   I think it's lovely. I am a bit surprised I didn't see anyone use the giant sunburst die anywhere in the sneaks (unless I missed them) but I'd be willing to bet that lots of people on the release hop will showcase it AND it is for sure something I see Jennifer McGuire using. I haven't loved a kit this much since the Safari and Celestial kits from last summer and this might even take the cake as my new favorite. I'm used to not being the one in love with the most popular (except the Safari kit, but that one just felt really practical given we had gone on a big zoo trip not long prior) so as much as I love it, I am probably in the minority in feeling it's one of the best kits they've ever done. |

MDscrapaholic - Jinx. It does seem weird they'd opt to use just the big background add-on stamp versus the card panel die in their kit sneaks, doesn't it? Especially when it feels like it's still such a trendy design.
