Has anyone checked out the AC website lately? All of the designers are gone, and under brands they only list EK Tools, We R Makers, and Sweetshop? What happened to the designers and is it scary that scrapbooking isn't even listed in their menu? www.americancrafts.comWondering if they are done with paper crafting for good now. Anyone have the scoop? |

Holy cow! They don't even show or have any scrapbook paper on their site! Wow. That's kinda sad.

I noticed that too when I visited their website recently looking for something. I don't believe they are done with papercrafting as they are still releasing new lines under some of their designers. But odd that they have no space on their website to represent those products now.

I really hope American Crafts continues to create scrapbooking products. They have gobbled up so many companies and I use their lines more than any other manufacturer.

SB.com taking over? Or some other company? I had just a minute, so just looked up Jen Hadfield. The AC site popped up but all her lines said Sold Out.

I entered embellishments in their search and some items popped up. They only had 8 brands though. Sad.

Also discussed in this recent thread, AC notoriously never bothers to update its website, including its brands/partnerships, new releases, etc. HTH. |

I don't remember their website being so awful. Why wouldn't they keep up their product listings? Especially since they've bought up so many of their competitors?
Weird way to do business...

I asked Shimelle and she said
"I would guess it is a temporary changeover thing because they are rebranding and the team doing the website etc has changed over. So I think it’s all a bit of a state of flux...
...we’ve already done work for next year’s releases but admittedly the entire industry sits on a knife edge at the best of times! "

Anyone have the scoop? Those three things are about all they have in the AC Warehouse. A few loose patterned papers and a few cardstocks. Otherwise, just the above 3 items. |

They're terrible at communicating with their customers. They are still posting projectd with their paper lines on social media so I'm pretty sure Shimelle's right and everything is fine and dandy with the paper crafting side of things. 👍 |
