My Paper Person goodies arrived.
The Good: quality is excellent. KP designs are just so dang usable. I live them.
The Bad: OUTRAGEOUSLY overpriced. Makes SC look like a bargain by comparison.
The 3x4 cards need to be cut apart. I didn’t read the description carefully, fully admit that. I don’t enjoy cutting apart cards. I’m very disappointed.
Overall I’m happy to have the kit, it’s such a unique set. But there is no way I would buy a kit again at those price points.

I don’t enjoy cutting apart cards. I’m very disappointed. Which kit did you get, janamke? I do not like the switch to 12x12 sheets instead of regular cards either (and hate cutting them as well). It'll definitely give her customers the impression they're paying a lot of money for "just" 3 12x12 papers. How thick is the paper used to print the cards on? It sounded heavier than the American Crafts pattern paper included in the kits. Is it as heavy as the cards she used to have in her KP shop? |

Paper quality is good. Nice card stock and lovely color. Not as high quality as Ali, but still very good. |

My stuff arrived today, it was expected to arrive Monday! Well, I’m thrilled. I love it. My heart was doing little flips and I posted a half dozen pics to my insta stories (non scrap account, so I’m sure my f&f are rolling their eyes! 😂). I think it’s all wonderful. I’ve only opened the vote kit so far. I’ll savor the fall kit later.
The papers are nice and substantial without being unnecessarily thick and bulky. I do t like cutting my own cards, but whatever. The reverse sides are printed, so you get the option of a 6x8 paper if you don’t cut them out.
Also a fun little freebie treat included! No spoilers. 🤗

Did y’all already get your bundling shipping refund if you are a subscriber?
My kits just shipped and I haven’t gotten a refund yet.

I just checked my PP VIP email and it says refund on 25th for shipping. So I’d look for Monday? Also, my labels were created Thursday night but still no scanning. Lol |

Thanks for all the detailed feedback (good and bad), janamke and honeypea . I look forward to getting my stuff (someday  ) and figuring out what I feel is the right price point for Kelly's new kit format. Did everyone see the sneak on the Paper Shop IG stories? "Coming soon, stay tuned" with a roll of speech bubble stickers that read: "Will you shut up, man?" AH, I'M IN LOVE. At this stage, I'm as invested in the 2020 US elections as any regular American is! Watched the final debate, Obama's rally speech in Philadelphia, want Kelly's new stickers... Let me vote!  My package is moving. Went from Portland to Eugene. From Eugene to doomsville AKA San Francisco International. SF is where every single one of my slow and/or problematic pandemic parcels from the US has gone to. Ugh, wish it'd gone to Anaheim instead. Fingers crossed San Fran' is nice to my stuff for once this year... (Imma tell Santa otherwise) |

Lol My label was created and then nothing for 3 days... then surprise the package was in Indiana. Not sure how it got accepted and processed through Portland without a scan at some point. So it could moving incognito. |

Got mine! I ordered the Merry Merry kit. The quality of the KP stuff is excellent! Vibrant colors. The cut-aparts are nice, thick cardstock. While I don't enjoy cutting out pocket cards, I do like that there is a pattern on the back. I can easily get a 6x8 out of one of those because I won't use many of the TN-size cards. The B-side patterns are muted green with an outlined "MERRY" and twinkle stars repeated in a darker green, and a bright red with thin, double strips of gold (not metallic). Love the stickers and washi.
My big disappointment is the 12x12 paper from other brands. I just don't think the selections coordinate super well. The hues and the style aren't a perfect match. I'd much rather have some of these KP patterns (for example, the ones on the TN-size cut-aparts) printed at 12x12. That would make me feel better about the value, for sure.

My election kit arrived. Pro’s- The print quality and color is great, love the designs (especially the stickers). Con’s- the duplicates are a bit much. I don’t need two of every sticker and 3 of each bingo card (I won’t even use one honestly) especially since the patterns on the back of the journaling card sheets weren’t repeated at all. I don’t begrudge a freebie but another duplicate <sigh> I was hoping for that sticker she teased since it would go great with the Biden character in the kit. Don’t regret buying it, but will probably sell off the duplicates and pieces I don’t use to recoup some of the cost.
And the RBG add on sticker is 🥰. Will be a great addition to my album alongside the picture of my “I dissent” yard sign.

I’m still in shock with what I received. |

I would have rather had a lower price and fewer duplicates like the stickers. And a better distribution of duplicates in the papers. I am planning to do my WITL album the first week of November so this is something I really wanted to use for Election Day and was willing to pay a premium for it. |

Mine still hasn't shipped. Boo Humbug! I kind of wish I bought the digital Election kit rather than the paper version. I have a lot to say about that last debate. Patiently (sort of) waiting.

Got my shipping notice. Mixed feelings now after seeing all the feedback but will see when my order comes. No refund yet for my multiple shipping charges (I subbed). Still excited though to see my goodies.

I didn’t order any kits — only the sticker sheets from holiday kits that were sold individually (I plan to get the B&W digital kit because physical was a bit pricey for me this year). Pretty happy with the stickers, especially the number stickers. There are lots of 1s and 2s and that’s super useful. Generally, it’s exciting that she’s adding a bit of variety with the embellishments compared to previous years!

I also got the refund this morning. They refunded $4, which is the cost of shipping the monthly kit — the holiday kit shipping was $4.50.

Thanks to all for sharing their info on the kits. Right now I only subscribe to one kit (the 6/yr from Echo Park). I want to subscribe to more, just concerned that I will end up with too much product that I won't use.....and if you saw my accumulation of product over the past 15 years..well, let's just say I will never be able to use it all!! Appreciate everyone sharing!!  |

I don’t feel as bad about paying that much for the kit since I will still use a big chunk of it. I early voted in October and will do the election next week so it doesn’t feel like overkill to spread the product out between two albums. Now I just hope the election turns out like I think it will or I am not going to want to do any of it 🙈 |

I also got the refund this morning. They refunded $4, which is the cost of shipping the monthly kit — the holiday kit shipping was $4.50. I did get a refund for shipping but it’s only $4 refund out of $14 shipping originally charged Frankly I’m sort of really upset at the shipping for my ad on order it was $10 and I didn’t even get a kit with 12x12 paper. I bought stickers. 2 letter stickers, Christmas stickers & RBG stickers. That’s it. Literally just stickers and my shipping was $10? I didn’t freak out because I was waiting for the refund. But the refund is only $4 so they are telling me a few stickers added $6 in shipping? Bull crap. I’m not happy at all and if this is going to be the ongoing cost of doing business with them I will drop my subscription after the 3 months. That shipping is ridiculous the stickers should have went into my kit box free or nearly free. Trying to tell me that those stickers added $6 to the shipping expense is bull crap. If the kit with 12x12 paper ships for $4 A few stickers do not cost $10 to ship nor do they add $6 to the cost of shipping. That’s insulting to customers I get that it’s a small business, I do, but you can’t rip people off on shipping just because you feel like it. I like her style but damn that just irks the crap out of me and makes it unaffordable. Her prices were a touch high to begin with but that didn’t bother me. I have no issue paying a bit more for design work that appeals to me. But don’t then rip me off on shipping. |

You shouldn't be paying 10 dollars to add stickers to your monthly kit. Ask because it seems really unfair. |

There may be an error and you'll get a second refund. I absolutely think it's worth going after those few dollars. Heck, it may be an error in additional shipping that needs correcting on the website and if nobody points it out, she cannot know. If you're too cranky to write, we can come up with the message for you.  |

Is there a polite way to say your ripping me off on ad on shipping? Lol no matter how I word that it’s going to sound bitchy. Which will then make me ‘that’ customer
I shouldn’t have to. An online shop shouldn’t rip me off on shipping then make me the bad guy having to ask about it, it’s rude.
It gets here Tuesday maybe by then I’ll be less bitchy about it. 🤷♀️
