Just watched a preview. It’s a giant box of supplies from Crafters Companion...3500 pieces. Lessons on color combinations, DVD, paper, cardstock, ribbons, embellishments, card and envelope blanks, dies and a number of tools including a scoreboard, corner rounder, envelope maker. It would be great for someone new to card making. Doesn’t interest me. The colors used are the same that the year long subscription boxes had. I have to say the English cardstock is superior to what is sold in the USA. But CC seems to love pastels, butterflies and flowers...maybe it’s a British thing.
CC is also coming out with a Gemini mini that is a hand crank, not electric. Very similar to Diamond Press but with a 3” opening. Looks well made...but I love my Diamond Press so won’t need it.

Do you know the price? I love big packages like that. Don't ask me if I NEED it, though, 'cuz I will ignore that question.  |

Leone can you post a link to the preview? I've Googled, but I'm not finding anything. I need to know!!  ETA: found it! Ultimate Cardmaking CompendiumIt looks amazing! Be forewarned that over 3000 of the 3500 pieces are pearls and gems - but it still looks like a lot of fun!

It is a great deal for someone new to card making. I would even be tempted but they repeated the colors. I’ve already got too much piled up from the subscription boxes that look the same....pastels, flowers and butterflies.

It’s suppose to be under $100 if you don’t order the version with the mini.

I ordered the Anna Griffin gingerbread house die...the Haunted House sold out in an instant last month. I think I am over Crafters Companion for awhile...the subscription boxes just kept piling up over the year.

I've been watching off and on today. Lots of fun items.
I broke down and purchased the Ali Edwards Decmber Daily kit.
They offered $10 off for new app users (WELCOME10) or $20 for brand new shoppers (New20)
How can a weak crafty soul say no to that! Lol

I LOVE that gingerbread house die!! So cute! Would’ve used it for next year’s Christmas card swap but it sold out before I could order one.

I really wish they would stop replaying the same show over and over all night. Fewer products and vendors as a result. Anna Griffin and Crafters Companion products are very nice but bigger variety of crafts would be nice.
I ordered the AG gingerbread house die the night before as the same sell out happened with the Halloween house the month before. They do the $5 shipping the day before too. But at midnight if you order anything more, it’s another $5.

I really wish they would stop replaying the same show over and over all night. I hated that!!!!! Seriously, I ran home from work, popped myself a big bowl of popcorn, and sat down to binge-watch at 2x speed (that's my secret!  ) all the cardmaking hours I'd missed. It was SO disappointing to see the exact same footage appearing over and over again. Some of the guests AND hosts seemed really off their game, like they could barely drum up enough enthusiasm for the products. And some of the host-guest combos were lacking their usual chemistry. While it was disappointing to binge-watch, I did end up ordering some yummy stuff (yay me for doing it BEFORE it sold out - often, I get left with an empty shopping cart!) The TS was tempting because there was so much stuff - the problem was that I either didn't need (scoring board, envelope template any more butterfly stamps) or didn't want (metal charms, resin frames) a lot of it, and even though it was a good value just for the stuff I DID want, I couldn't justify bringing that much unloved STUFF into my already-overstuffed craft space. |

It also seemed that a lot of the hosts and presenters were sick, coughing and sniffling all over the place. All that traveling for the presenters must take its toll on their health, and the hosts are on at all hours too. They did seem off their game and not as interested as usual. I did buy some edgeable dies from CC, but everything else I was considering was either sold out by the time I saw the show, or it was so expensive that I didn't buy it. I agree that it would have been nice to see a wider variety of companies and products. It was like watching the Sara and Anna Show.

Sometimes I’ll record some of it and watch but I skipped it this time since I was pretty sure it was mostly holiday stuff and I have plenty. Sometimes I just go to their website and watch the videos if I’m interested in the products.
So they just replayed the same things? I can kind of see their point since they usually do have the same products on throughout the day. I really wish they had more variety, even within their usual companies. I guess I was spoiled by the old QVC days
