Has anyone bought anything else? So far I’ve been underwhelmed….. even the Waffle Flower set that I was waiting for was a pass for me. The only two other collabs I’m looking for are Pinkfresh and Picket Fence. I picked up the Kitchen Sink butterfly layering stamps because I don't have anything like that in my stash, they are versatile, and I loved how they looked on all the inspiration cards. I'm looking forward to Pinkfresh tonight, but that's about it for me. |

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I agree. I can always use a floral, just not this one. I do like the sentiments though. |

I feel pinkfresh designs are incomplete without their amazing stencils. I wish SSS did a stencil for PF collaboration.
And I am bummed that C9 is not part of stamptember this year.
I wonder if this stamptember collaborations are fruitful for the companies. They spend time on designs but then can not sell it and SSS sells it only during stamptember. It may not be a profitable collaboration for companies.

Waited for the PinkFresh release but without a layering stencil I’m not interested.

Pinkfresh lost me at the uninspiring floral and the "choose joy" stamp. Bleergh. Bummer, I was waiting to see this one, thought for sure I'd probably pick it up.

I picked up just a few SSS branded items on day one but not even tempted by any of the collabs yet thankfully. Last year I only picked up the Tim Holtz set.

I've got plenty of Pinkfresh's floral stamps, so this was an easy pass for me.

Well, for all my talk of how I wasn't planning on looking this year, I couldn't resist the Gina K, Brutus Monroe and Kitchen Sink sets. But the Pinkfresh didn't do anything for me (however, their holiday release on Monday was another story  ). I'm not making a point of staying up late to see any of them, but if I happen to be still awake, I check on them. And I do check if they're still available when I get up in the morning. |

Underwhelmed so far. I don't stay up till midnight, but check what is released every day.
In years past, I have not bought many releases, but have appreciated how good they were. Pricey, but interesting. Most of these have been meh to me so far.
As an aside, Colorado Craft sent an email about their release, and stated that they asked SSS to increase their allowed inventory this year, as they sold out in like 30 mins last year. I think they produced 1000 of their stamps this time, and as of the 12th there were less than 200 left.

Tim Holtz will do a Youtube Live about his Stamptember on Saturday the 24th at 12:00pm EST.
Last year, his set went live on SSS as he went Live on youtube. Not sure if that is how it is going to work this year.

Underwhelmed so far. I don't stay up till midnight, but check what is released every day. I was too, and actually forgot to keep checking. And last night my ambivalence caught up to me.....the Mama Elephant set is one that I absolutely would have purchased. When I jumped on this morning it was already gone. Really cute stamps/dies!!! |

I don't usually make holiday or season specific projects, so the releases haven't been of interest to me. So many Christmas sets! I suppose that makes sense, though seeing how they only do limited amounts of the products. I'm sure the companies would rather release something that won't sell much throughout the rest of the year.
Dang it, too. I was hoping to do some early birthday shopping. Lol

I follow a few people on the SSS DT and so I tend to see the Stamptember releases when I'm scrolling at night, and all I can say is yawn. I haven't been tempted at all. Not complaining really. I would rather spend my money elsewhere. It looks like most of the bundles have sold out so I guess other people are more excited than me.
I read that the long awaited Tim Holtz bundle will be out at noon tomorrow (Saturday) when he goes live, not at midnight tonight, just in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks for the tip, Jo. I am on the same boat, nothing has caught my eye but then, the exact thing happened to me last year. I wonder about quantity of product per brand, though. Could it be they sell out so fast because they are in the low hundreds? Keep in mind that the people on the DT need to get the sets and probably all the ones not on the team but that are part of their clique. That can add up to 50 at least, right? I can't imagine many consumers buying that much product, at those prices and with this economy, when they can wait a couple of weeks and grab them at AE for way less money. |

Looks like noon ET, 9am Pacific according to TH's IG. Link won't copy here for some reason. |

Most of the Stamptember stuff hit AliEx before it was even officially released. No idea if that means they've already copied it or it's speculative though. None of it has caught my eye even at AliEx prices. So far almost everything is either generic flowers or holiday themed. So my wallet's safe!  |

It's kind of insane to think about what kind of logistics support you have to have to make that work. And you're wise to avoid it if you can. I've spent so many hours falling down the rabbit hole it's a little embarrassing. My impulse control on actually buying things is good, but window shopping? Not one bit. |

I bought Tim's stamp. They had it available around 11:55am ET without a picture so I added it to the cart and finished the transaction.
His reveal was about 6 minutes after going live so I decided to see how many items I could add to the cart. I added 300 and it showed them available; 10 minutes later there were only 99 available and 5 minutes after that only 80 available.
It's still available as of 145pm ET. Did any of you get it? What do you think about it? It also comes with a stencil. I liked the designs that included and the classic sayings as sentiments...not too crazy about that font but I don't dislike it.

Huh, the Holtz set is... interesting. The combination of font plus punctuation makes me feel like the sayings are almost sarcastic? Nothing about the sentiments actually is, so it's a weird dissonance. AlMoSt LiKe ThIs StYle. Just missing the punch line. Very strange.

I love how big the main image is and like the snowflakes too. But at the end it's still not enough for me to buy it.
Trying to be good 😊

It's showing 358 in stock for me at 5:22pmEDT. Not sure if people didn't check out or if the initial inventory was incorrect. I saw a couple of examples on IG and couldn't even make out what the image was behind the snow stenciling people had done over embossed and blended images. I actually thought it was another looking-up-at-trees image until I went and looked at the listing. It's not my style - I want something with more flexibility at that price point and I already have a snowfall stencil and some snowflake stamps so that doesn't sweeten the deal for me. I'm glad they have plenty for those who love it though |

I'm glad they have plenty for those who love it though That is so weird, I put higher quantities on the cart and updated it, then it would jump to the numbers I mentioned before. That's why I figured those were the actual amounts available. Right now, I added 358 to the cart but it only showed 99. Go figure. How ironic, all this fuzz about the reveal and six plus hours later there is still inventory. Gina K sold out within a couple of hours. I honestly got it because of the sentiments and surprisingly, I do not own a snowfall stencil (not that I really need one, we don't get snow where I live) but wanted to get my hands on one. Also, I can look past that font because it doesn't look bad on finished cards. |
