I had to get the papercrafting kit. That lady makes Christmas look fun.  With this stuff, I feel like I can go through and purge all my dark "traditional" Christmas paper that I have been hanging onto and find a new home for it. Like the home of a thrift store! |

Yep, I snagged it this week. I watch Suzanne Runyan's HSN Gets Crafty every Tuesday night on Facebook (live), and these kits were featured this week. I got the papercrafting kit too. The price was great, and I was weak.  |

The price was great, and I was weak. I don't think you were weak, and the price was AWESOME! When I went to Crafts Direct a few weeks ago, the 12x12 paper pad was 19.99 and it was sold out, and I would have bought it. So that was 20 dollars right here, like getting the rest of it for 5 bucks. I would have gotten the other kit too, but I already got the smaller pad and I don't need a Christmas small album. |

So I can’t even get it for my little online shop, but HSN can sell the crap out of it. Gahhhhhh!
I might have to buy it for myself and that just makes me mad. 🤣

I caved and bought the album kit.
I don’t need the ephemera that comes in the other kit but the album with stickers and paper seemed like something I’ll use.
Thanks for sharing! I would’ve never looked on hsn for this new line.

I know what you mean. My not-so-local LSS owner won't deal with AC because of how difficult they are when it comes to small businesses. That means that I can't support her shop when I want to buy from the (incredibly large) AC brand. I do make up for it with the other brands she sells, though.  |

That will make for a great DD using colors that aren't really that popular for Christmas.

I priced out the items at sb.com and it was wayyyy cheaper to order from HSN. I love this line and it will be perfect with my holiday pictures. Even the shipping is cheaper than sb.com. I don't need 90 ephemera pics, but at $25, well worth it. I got two. I figure I can make cards/tags out of what I don't use.

Is the stuff sold at HSN the same quality as what is sold at an LSS? Just curious since it sounded like some companies print on lighter paper for Tuesday Morning (or used to) and then there's Peachy Cheap cheap printing.

I would hope this is all from a first print, but we'll see. For me, the paper I found at TM generally changed when it went from a Cara Bella line to an Echo Park paper. It was still good quality, but it was nothing like the Carta Bella paper. |

I saw this line in person at my LSS this weekend. It was a lot darker and grungier than I expected. It’s quite different from the traditional Christmas designs they had in stock (Carta Bella, EP, SS which I wasn’t wowed by.)

Being an international, I can't but HSN... but am seriously thinking of getting the album via SB.com. Has anyone received their order yet ...and can you tell me what the width of the spine is please? |

Mine arrived today, and it is gorgeous! The colors are beautiful, with just the right touch of mixed media effects. I don't find them dark or grungy looking at all. They definitely aren't in-your-face bright colors, but I knew that before I bought the kit. The papers are a nice, heavy weight too. I ordered the collection kit, so I don't know about the mini album. I'm really happy with this!

I got mine from SB.com and the album and colors of the paper collection arrived beautiful! Very Vicki B but still Christmasy enough. The album has only a 2" spine though. I've made that size work for me in years past so I'm not too worried.

I ordered both kits and they arrived yesterday. I love everything! The chipboard stars are probably my favorite embellishment.
