Now I feel like I have to buy this, although I'm secretly hoping they'll be sold out so I can't buy it. Thanks for posting the contents of the box!

Mine was very similar if not identical. It’s perfect for springtime. I’m excited.

Thank you! I now understand that Pinkfresh calls these scrapbooking boxes mostly because they don't use patterned paper in their cardmaking. Also that Pinkfresh taking a break from scrapbooking means taking a break from patterned paper and paper embellishments, maybe adhesive enamel dots (or maybe not, since that type of embellishment is very much used in card making).
And, since I did enjoy working with PF papers last holiday season, I caved and bought a box. Some of the frames, alphas, and other paper embellishments are probably better suited to scrapbooking, but it's still a good deal. Particularly if they won't be putting out paper collections for some time. And that one paper back that was on clearance also jumped into my cart. Even though patterned paper is the thing I say I have too much of.
Stay tuned for some RAKs as the box arrives and I figure out which embellishment packs just won't work for cards!

Great price for that amount of stuff, but do I NEED it?

I got my box and it's awesome...the only real difference I am seeing is that I got instead of the gold matte dots (which are so cool) I got a hot foil plate set, lol. Not sure what I will do with it, as I don't have a foiling machine, so I will rak it unless I can use it somehow. I am a little surprised that they included something that was unuseable unless you had a specific machine, but oh well.

My box is almost identical to yours.. minus the tourist mode items... nothing.. no paper or emellishments.. my box was mainly all spring vibes... it made me decide to buy the 12x12 paper so I could have a complete collection... I am not usually a complete collection person... but since they gave me so much.. I figured wouldn't hurt..
I am happy with my box... those of you on the fence.. could sell your pp on the board here....

I was very pleased with my box. I didn't have any of it. Very similar to what the original poster posted.

JM has good video tutorials. They were giving away the hot foiling plate as a gift so maybe thats what you got. Its a art deco frame.

I can happily cut down the middle and send you half of the gold dots if you'd like!

Interesting...I ordered a stamp/die/stencil suite recently and received a hot foil plate in addition. The packing slip didn't show it as a zero-cost item, so I thought it was an error, not a gift.

I’m tempted but the thing that’s keeping me from buying is the amount oh holiday papers. I know I won’t use them. I suppose I could order then maybe trade all the holiday items for someone’s hot foil plate. I just got my Glimmer machine a few months ago. Love it.

I loved my box and felt it was worth every single penny! I hadn't bought much PF lately so it was packed full of stuff I can use!

My box arrived yesterday (I ordered once they restocked) and it's pretty much the same as OP posted. All new to me as the only PF I have is from another grab box a couple of years ago. No complaints here - some of the paper will be a bit challenging to use (I'm a 8.5x11 scrapper) but I love the embellishments

I checked last night and they were sold out. I bought some SBC exclusives on sale instead. I do actually already have a lot of Pinkfresh papers and stamps. One of my favorite companies.

I got only one set of enamel dots. No hot foil plate, but I'd gotten one in a prior order.
I love all the papers -- I really do like the weight and quality of their paper. It's a pleasure to work with.
A lot of the embellishments do seem very scrapbook-y to me. I know Spellbinders puts chipboard frames into their card kits, but I don't get it there, either. I got a LOT of alpha stickers, too.
If anybody is looking to shed some of the holiday papers and might be interested in trading for more alphas and other more scrapbook-centric embellishments, by all means reach out!

Sigh. Placing an order at ACOT to get the right embellishments for cardmaking. Or I would be but their checkout process appears broken/hacked at the moment....

My box came in and it was a bit different. I got: PAPERS 6x6 lovely blooms 9 happy holidays 3 holiday dreams 2 delightful (one of which was marked as the brighter days collection but is actually from delightful) 2 simply the best 5 spring vibes 9 flower market
EMBELLISHMENTS Holiday magic: enamel dots, cardstock sticker numbers Happy holidays: cardstock stickers Simply the best: cardstock stickers Spring vibes: wood accents, cardstock stickers, ephemera, puffy stickers, chipboard frames Garden bouquet: chipboard frames, puffy stickers, journaling bits, puffy gold alpha Sunshine on my mind: matte enamel dots, puffy stickers, journaling bits, cardstock stickers, big puffy alphas Flower market: blue puffy alphas, puffy stickers
Overall I am happy with it. I was hoping for Spring vibes and sunshine on my mind items and got quite a few. A few repeats for me but nothing I won’t use eventually. Was hoping for the multicolored mini alphas from spring vibes or sunshine on my mind but I can pick those up elsewhere.
