I am so tempted. I told myself just one event this fall - I signed up for Spellbinders last week. Now I'm tempted by SCT's card making one in October - they opened up spots - and this one. PinkFresh's does seem like a great value. I have a feeling I'm going to give into temptation today...I just wish it wasn't on Facebook.

This is tempting but I already signed up for the Crop & Create one for Oct 1-3. Sounds like everyone has realized that these events are a hit and are jumping on the bandwagon! That's great - something for everyone!

I was debating between C9 and pinkfresh. But I will be honest and say that pinkfresh is my favorite company and I love everything they do. I signed up. I still might sign up for C9. Not sure if I would need those many christmas projects though.
I would also add that I love how transparent pinkfresh is about product inclusions. C9 was really good at listing main products too for their summer event.
It was easy to pass for spellbinders because their description was to vague for me. May be its just me.

I would like to see some sneaks from them. I'm doing the Crop&create cards in October and their projects calls for 22 ink pads. How many ink pads will this take ? I'm bummed that they are not providing ink pads. And I don't have a hot plate system so I can't do a class because of it? I will have to think about this , at least we have time to decide.

And I don't have a hot plate system so I can't do a class because of it? My thoughts exactly. They did say they were just using the hot plate for embossing with not heat foiling if that helps. Plus so many of the companies buy their ink from the same manufacturer I’m sure you can find similar colors. It’s mostly for ink blending on stencils I imagine. But I get it. I bought their whole set of inks when they had it like 40% off I think. |

You don’t have to buy new ink pads, I’m using what I have in my stash. They’ll be fine for me. My cards don’t have to be exactly what they are doing. I’m in it for the techniques and ideas.
I didn’t see a hot plate on the list but will be using my heat gun for embossing.

I only have a black inkpad, so I would have to shell out for colours.
But its ok....saves me $199USD.

My bestie & I signed up for this. Pinkfresh has been my obsession lately with their stamp/stencil/die combos (not to mention the foil plates). I feel like it's totally worth it in product value alone. The registration said you would need dye inks & they would share what colors they are using but I am planning on using what I have that is close. You also need watercolors for one of the projects. I'm excited!!!

There are other excellent companies that use youtube and other platforms. I emailed to make sure it wasn’t also offered on youtube was told no, then yes, then the rep emailed back again and said no. |

I like that they listed everything pretty well and said multiple times that is product not previously sold. That you could watch the classes after if you miss and that they were showing an alternate way to use the foil plate for those who don’t have a foil plate. The listing was very specific
I love PF product and I did sign up because this is possibly my one event this year.

Maybe if more people email to request they also use youtube or other platforms, they’d consider it for the future. The rep who responded to me first said they didn’t use youtube because the event is not free for the public. She didn’t know youtube can be used for paid events. But I’d think the owners/decision makers would know. |

Just signed up for this and I'm super excited. It will be my first crop ever (in-person or virtual) and I am looking forward to the new products and card-making classes!

Has the group started yet? Should be approximately soonish from their description. I think next week is still in the described range. I’m just wary that I could miss an email or something ( it went to spam folder ) .

I haven’t seen anything either, but I’ll post here when I do unless someone beats me to it.

You should have an email with a link to the fb group. You will need to provide your order number for the event for them to verify you and accept you into the group.

People on FB are ‘upset’ that their box delivery is changed to Monday, I’m actually happy because I’m visiting family and I won’t be home until Monday. It was supposed to be today and it’s raining today so I’m good with it being delayed. I don’t think I can say that over there. Lol

I was excited for it to come today, but I'm happy it's Monday, too. Just in time for the unboxing! Maybe I can be "no peek" if I only have to wait an hour.  |
