Amazing, love the Bingo card! Sign me up!!!

Sorry I didn’t see this, but of course...you don’t have to ask! They’re not sitting on my servers, ha.

It sounded like the release was just going to be the stuff she’s held onto?

I just received my IACB More Please kit and damn, I'm disappointed with the quality of the ephemera.

I understand that the ephemera is only a small part but by the time I pay international shipping and then customs, they aren't quite $2.50 any more. 

The print quality and the cutting just sucks - my 'Food Coma' piece is one of many that's just going in the trash. It looks like it was printed on a home printer, and cut out by hand.

Infact, I ordered two sets and I actually think it has been cut out by hand as looking at the same piece in another set, you can see the yellow guideline where the machine would have cut it - if it was cut by machine.




What the heck. 

I am going to drop Elise an email as it's really, really poor. If I wanted this quality, I'd buy digitals and cut it out myself and save myself the ££ on shipping and customs.

I literally have no idea. I've sent a polite email but I'm not going to lie - I'm a more than a little raging. This kit isn't cheap and by the time I pay shipping and fees its like a £50 kit for a stamp and some bits of printed cardstock.

I can only assume that due to COVID-19, something has happened in production, and Elise and some family members have had to sit and cut them out by hand to get them out to customers on time.

Wow.  Did you send the photo to her?  I am shocked by her response.  I would have expected at the minimum a refund of both packs and frankly seeing who the kit is from I would have thought she would offered to send you replacements as well.  Telling you to purchase digitals to avoid disappointment?  What N April response.  

I actually didn’t take mine out of the bag yet, but I will today so I can see what mine look like.

It looks like a poor scan and cut job.  I wonder if she sources them out, if so she should be handling it with who ever produces them.  That is not ok.  

 (but yes, Skellinton , that's such an April response!) 

Yes I felt the chill too. I have typed several responses back but just deleted before sending because I can’t be bothered. I feel like I’m letting my emotions get in the way.

It’s just not good enough. Her excuse was that the ‘larger’ die cuts packs (ie. the Tourist Mode) die cuts are produced in China (and assumably on a larger scale) but to include small packs of die cuts, she has them done in the US.

I just don’t understand why she wouldn’t try and make them of the same quality. It’s damaging to her brand. I imagine it doesn’t matter what I think because her kits fly off the shelves like hot cakes.

It’s a real shame. I would urge anyone who got the kit to have another look at their die cuts and check they’re happy with the quality of the cutting. They honestly look like they’ve been cut with scissors and I could have done a better job at home. I hope I’ll be able to tidy some of them up myself.

Please, that's *N*ell interfering with April's reputation again! #blamethebaby 

sleepingbooty Skellinton Thank you ladies for your support. Means a lot, and reassures me I am not being unreasonable!

I will just make sure when I purchase from her again that they look tip-top in the photos. Looking at them again you can tell from the photo they’re not quite the same as what she has had before.

Sometimes when I’m typing, I hit the shift instead of the “a” and end up with a capitalized letter instead of the word I wanted to type.  Maybe that’s what happened?

Oh wow. I haven’t looked at my die cuts yet but will ASAP.

I figured you hit the caps key instead of the “a” and then hit the “n” - I do that all the time.
