Actually, I think that Altenew pumpkin set does yield individual pumpkin die cuts..."one go" is the branding Altenew uses for stamps/dies that you stamp and cut once and get multiple pieces. I'm not sure I've seen one with images before, but I think they have a handful of one go sentiment sets.

I ended up signing up for the PinkFresh event and the Altenew event. This year was my first year trying any of these and I’m glad I did! I did PF in February and June, but just got around to making the Feb cards 🤣. Same with the Altenew event from March, I just started watching the unboxing and I’m excited to finally use the kit. I will say doing classes has kept my individual purchases in check and now I have 2 classes to look forward to in October!

Hot foil/better press add-on kit is available now.
I ended up signing up for the main event plus the hot foil event. Now I'm looking for a good deal on a better press, I'm kicking myself for not getting it when it was $54.
Oh well!
If anyone finds it at a great deal please let me know.

That's a great price. I added on the foil/BP event today. Can't wait!

The separate full add-on kit is for those who want to exclusively do hot foiling of part of the main kit, correct?
I really want to pull the trigger on this but after not being super thrilled with the last event, I don't want to do it without getting a look first.
No sneaks as of yet, right?

This is the add-on for the event. The full kit $190 is still available. That class is on Friday October 4. |

I love the PF products. The present wrapping kit looks good and love that doesn't look christmasy so it could be used for birthdays.
Disappointed in SSS. They have so many different styles in their line up that when you have an event with PF you would think they would bring something sophisticated.

I'm really digging everything in the bottom row for sure. Overall I like what I see, though I'd never use the "gifts" set. I just sold the one from last year's event (unused). I have a personal "thing" about making gifts the focus of any cards I make. Birthdays, weddings, etc. I know it's silly!
That said, I didn't sign up for this one, so it's another that I selfishly hope you all will share, share, share, and share during and after the classes!

I like it too, but it's a lot to spend for me, considering I only send out about 25 cards nowadays. I've already settled on my designs for 2024.
I'm glad they will be posting sneaks at signup time from now on, so I can make more timely decisions!

I hope they end up releasing the cookies/jar on their website. I don’t have a cookie set and this one looks cute.

My box is arriving Friday. Too bad I won't be home to open it until Sunday.
I want to see the better press add on stuff. Especially the frames

I received my box and this might be one of my favorite boxes. The cover plate included is so pretty. Everything is gorgeous. I also like Simon says as their guest designer. Too bad Pinkfresh is not having a guest designer in their next events. It gives the event more variety but I understand why.
I also signed up for their hot foil add on class. Can't wait to see what we make.

I too received my box. The PF stuff is beautiful as always. I am disappointed that SSS did not include a die a for their large stamp set. I feel like the cards are a bit lackluster and could have been so much better if die cutting the images were an option. I will probably sell that set once the event is over.

Yes, it would have been nice if the large SSS stamp set included dies since there are multiple images. I am guessing it would have been very expensive since SSS makes their dies in the US. I would have liked to purchase the die set though. It's such a cute set!

My box arrived yesterday too.
I love all the PF products and the better press add-ons. Love the frames,but I will say I hoped for something similar to the decorative frame set.
I'm still disappointed with SSS. Instead of the small things they should have give us the dies to the penguins. And I agree, because no dies with them even the designers cards are blah.
And what's with the small stamp???

I don't need the smaller stamp and die set and that tiny stencil is ridiculous. So disappointing. |

I just received my box today. Love the supplies but agree that SSS was disappointing.
The stamp set would have been so much better with the dies. I was actually surprised how plain the cards were for this set in the booklet.

This is the first time I've ever been disappointed by a PF guest company, but the more I look at those cards, the more annoyed I get.

Now that I'm mostly ready for Crop and Create, I'm starting on the homework for this event. But I have now realized I need to order acetate. Ugh. I've been so focused on the SCT event I didn't look closely at these supplies.

How is everyone doing on prep for this weekend?
I'm not done with my Crop and Create classes, but need to switch over to finishing homework for Pinkfresh. I really had a hard time with my last PF event so I want to be extra prepared this time.

Homework is done and I am ready. I think today I might pre-prep all the sentiments.

My homework is done and I went ahead & did the make & takes for the first 2 classes.
I have a birthday party I'm attending late Saturday afternoon so not sure if I will get to complete Class 3 the day of.
