I just received an email with dates for the 2025 events. What do you think? I'm interested in the cards for him class. They said they would wait until sneaks are available to begin registration and I'm glad to hear it. Also, they won't be partnering with other companies for events after February since it's difficult to meet all their deadlines.  |

Got that email, too. I think they’ve been paying attention to what people are saying and are making good changes. I’ll definitely be watching for their events next year.

I like the change of showing the product when you register. I think I’ve had my fill of Pink Fresh for now but seeing the products will help me decide.

Those sound great. Depending on cost and delivery to Canada I would consider a few of them.

After my last Pinkfresh event I thought I’d never do another, but a couple of these look intriguing.

I received this information too, and found it interesting. I don't think I would enjoy an event that is only one theme (with the exception of the holiday event) so I see myself sitting out on a few of these, and I have never opted out of any PF event card or scrapbooking.

I struggle with all types of masculine cards so I'm very interested in Cards for Him.

Another Pea and I were talking about being "PinkFreshed out" just a week or two ago. I was planning on skipping upcoming PF classes, however the masculine cards as well as the water-coloring has me intrigued!

Those are the same two that piqued my interest, MichyM! Perhaps especially Cards for Him, since that seems so antithetical to how I think of Pinkfresh.... |

I also do appreciate that Pink Fresh typically releases the products used in their events fairly quick afterwards so if it's must have product, we can get it.

I got the email too, and appreciate that PF is spreading out their events over the year. I’m interested in the masculine cards.

I am glad they are showing the products first before registration. I usually love everything Pinkfresh. I really am interested in how they do their masculine cards. The techniques and watercoloring class sounds fun too. I would like to get into watercoloring more.
I always like how much they listen to their customers and tweak their events as needed.

VERY interested in Cards for Him! Wondering what that will look like since PF is typically so floral...

Yes to Cards for Him! And I'm so glad they'll be posting sneaks first.

I have been requesting masculine cards everytime they asked, what we want in the next events.
I'm happy that they listen to people.
I think seeing what the products will be will make the decision easier or maybe not. I can see myself signing up even if I just love 1 or 2 products. 🤣
While I admire watercoloring and I have a lot of different watercolors. I'm really not good at it and I get too frustrated so a whole event around this technique is a nope for sure. Now if they include 1 or 2 watercoloring class in the technique event I would be happy with that.
It's exciting changes indeed

Just a heads up to everyone...in yesterdays PFS event they commented that for 2025, they may not release the event products and keep them exclusive to events. While they said they "may not" release them, I got the impression that they won't be releasing many of the products.
Just something to think about because I was really of the mindset that I'd buy the individual products after the events instead of attending the events.

Oh, you probably still will be able to, except it'll be in the FB B/S/T group instead of at Pinkfresh.

I wish a company would do an event for sympathy cards. I’ve been having to make a number of these cards in the past few years, and they are stressful to make. I dread doing them, but refuse to buy a store bought card.

Brutus Monroe and My Favorite Things are both sympathy cards. |

One of the prior C&CD events, last fall maybe, featured HA "With Sympathy" stamp & die sets and folks posted their cards in the event thread. The set is available last I looked (I bought it and didn't do that event) plus you may well have similar items in your stash. That could be another way to get inspiration for some of those.

They aren't partnering anymore after the February class. That one was already in the works. I hope they are still planning on releasing photos of the products before sign ups though. I would love to see the products before I commit.

Gotta see the sneaks first! That’s too much $$$ without knowing what I’m paying for.

I got an email today with peeks. I thought peeks would be sample cards but that’s not what they show.  |

One of the reasons companies don't share the products before sale is because some crafters will then buy them off temu, etc. Sad reality

So if registration is now for the February event, then is registration in a month from now for the March event? That's the one for masculine cards, I'm really interested in that one.

I'm not sure about this event yet. I hoped for a better sneak and Im more interested in the masculine one. And I hate printed sentiments.
As much I love flowers I'm burning out on them especially from PF.

Yeah, I don't like printed sentiments either. It looks like you have to buy the event with the add on to get sentiments. The event and add on is $350, while the regular event is $255. I am annoyed that we have to pay an extra almost $100 for sentiments when it was usually included in the kit.
I will pass on this event too.
