She doesn't understand that you don't make your big money on the event , but on the extra stuff people buy before and after the event.
People like to use the same colors , so most of them will buy the inks and than if you are smart you create extra card inspiration with extra dies and stamps so people will buy those after the event.
But seeing how she values her classes at $20-$25 we can guess that the box will have $150 worth of stuff.

I think she reads here. It can not be a coincidence that she posts that note about 'jam packed kit' at the same time we are discussing possibility of less kit products here. That was my first thought as well. I also think she needs to plan (and edit) her posts ahead of time so that they sound a little more professional. But maybe that's just me. We kinda know she is. At the PF holiday , we had some complaints about her homework not being very clear and she said something about this in a post in the group and she took pictures of what we needed to diecut. Or at least this is how I remember |

Or at least this is how I remember Oh, I don't remember that. I'm ok-ish with businesses lurking here. But I'd rather they were upfront about it. What I am not ok with (and happened to me) is receiving an email from an event owner stating that they read what someone (me) posted here. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. That was the nail in the coffin for me with that particular business. I'll never talk positively about them (or negatively for that matter) again. They are dead to me  |

Wow! How did they know your email?!?! Now that I think of it, the actual contact may have been through FB messaging. It was about a year ago so details are fuzzy in that regard. At any rate, since I had participated in her events, it wasn't difficult to figure out who I am here. It's no big deal, anything I say here can go directly to the ears of the company involved no problem. I'm just not a super-fan of companies lurking here without being transparent about it. |

This would turn me right off, too. That's a big no, no - to follow you from a mainly anonymous message board over to FB and track you down on there. Kind of creepy. |

I thought there were supposed to be sneak peeks posted when registration opened. I don't see any yet.

So it looks like most of the sneaks won't be posted until 4/10/24. Right now, I'm planning to pass.

Some of those stamps and dies look so good and have me very interested! The blooming dimensions stamp set and the cutting edge creations dies especially, and I'm curious to see the rest of the dies in the paper parcel class.
Question, though - is anyone familiar with what the paper parcels are? I'm picturing a stack of papers tied with twine, but I'm guessing that's not it.

Looking at the link that craftmepink posted, it looks to me that additional sneaks will be posted the 10th but the price goes up on the 12th. So there may be a shorter window to get more sneaks and the lower price. I have been planning on signing up and the new pics look good to me so far. I am not a fan of 3D paper crafting. In my opinion, they usually take too long, are too fussy and collect dust (lol) before getting thrown out. I’m down for a cute seasonal decoration but I want to be able to use the dies for cards as well. I’m not kidding myself, I know people toss my cards as well but if I gift someone a 3D paper project, it’s just a dust collector! And I can’t mail it. |

I signed up and I’m excited. I just did her latest card class and I loved each card I made. They were so cute. I like her pathetic a lot so I’m happy to sign up.

I actually really like the sneaks but I am already enrolled in three upcoming events and I'm certain I will sign up for the PF hot foiling event, so sadly I think I'm going to have to skip this one.

I really like the Big Greetings and Birthday sneak peeks. My curiosity is piqued with the Blooming Dimensions and Cutting Edge Creations sneaks. Decisions decisions  |

I'm undecided.
I like what I see ,but for some reason I feel like I will be disappointed with the value. I think her earlier statement about smaller event vs big ones its stuck on my mind and that's the only thing holding me back.

After seeing the new sneaks, I decided to skip the PF foiling event and do this one instead. I know that Amy's style is usually a bit fiddly for me, but I almost always love the cards she makes. I also feel that Amy is quite particular about her products and image, so I think the event will be well organized and the product selection very usable. I already love some of the dies I've seen, and I'm really looking forward to this. Fall is going to be a busy crafty time for me with all the events I signed up for. I better eat my Wheaties and take my vitamins.

Ugh, I wish she'd give details like Pink Fresh of what is in the kit. |

After seeing the sneaks I am tempted (even though I said I'm not doing this one). I sure wish there were more than two different instructors though and that is totally preventing me from signing up.... Decisions, decisions....

I like Amy as an instructor. Carissa is okay, but I think multiple Carissa classes would be too much for me in a short period of time. She seems to be on everyone's teacher roster lately, so I'm getting plenty of Carissa already. |

If it helps you make a decision, it does say there will be make & take videos from guest designers, so you will have inspiration from others besides Amy and Carissa. |

I'm in! I've never purchased one of these events before so I'm anxious to see how it goes.

Ladies...I have zero frickin' will power...I signed up.  What in the world was I thinking.....this is the weekend before Crop & Create Delivered. I'm not warm and fuzzy about my decision but FOMO just got really the best of me. I'm so weak for pretty sparkly craft things. |
