1st of all so glad to be back here. Life got so busy and some health issues made me step away from crafting for a while. I am so glad that I got some time to create today. Caught up on some crafty news today and found out that Hero Arts is acquired by Spellbinders. Huge shock but looks like it was a good thing. I also watched PF YouTube live today sharing their feb event products and I am in love with almost everything. Love that they shared products in advance. Anyone else watched it? What did you think? Here is the link in case you are curious to know what's included in their upcoming feb event kit. www.youtube.com/live/uN244KLae4o?si=huk6CJzM1OJhTGGN

Happy that you found your way back!
I think I might be completely over Pinkfresh.

I watched the PF unboxing. While I really like the sentiment stamp set, I was unimpressed with everything else. It all looks exactly like something they already have.
I am still interested in the masculine card event so I hope the products are unique. I do like that they are doing a live unboxing before you sign up.

Welcome back twillerbee ! Sometimes it is good to take a break from crafting. pinklady - do you know when the masculine card event is? I haven't heard anything. I haven’t seen anything other than the original email that said March 29th and 30th.

I’m glad they showed what’s in the box, makes it easier to say no to. Too bad that birthday balloon set is an exclusive, I would have bought that one.

Welcome back to crafting twillerbee. Sometimes it's good to step back a little and come back to crafting with renewed energy and creativity. I love that they did this unboxing. At first I was ready to sign up , but than I started to take the products apart and now its a definite no. 1.I like the sentiment stamps- I will pick that up when it becomes available. The rest of the essentials are okay but nothing that I have to have. 2. The Washi tape won't be available for repurchase, while there is 40+ designs on it so you might never run out of it, it is still nice to have the option. 2. The swan set. They should have designed this with 2 swans so it would be perfect for wedding and anniversary cards. Huge Mistake! 3. Like the Altenew set, but if they would give us the dies for the bold sentiments it would make this set even better. 4. The butterflies and the cloche its cute but I already have similar stuff from earlier events. How about some bees or dragonflies. 5. The balloons and gifts are cute, but Do Not Need More Gifts! Between the last 2 holiday events I have enough of gifts. I still love PF and will join the masculine event if they create a good kit for it.

I’m extremely glad they did an unboxing. The main sets were not a hit for me. I liked the essentials and the sentiments but not the main sets. I love the instructors they chose. I loved the holiday event I did with them and made about 30 cards from that event.
But the last 2 events before that were misses and I did not like most of the products or the cards I made. Love they are hopefully doing this now so I can make an informed choice. I love with their events how they are at least 4 card ideas for each set.

I watched the unboxing and as usual loved most everything. That said, I haven't signed up and am not certain that I will. While I thought I'd hate the swan set, I actually like it, but it reminds me a lot of the Berry & Blossoms set that I already have. Lord knows I have a lot of PF butterflies already and the cloche reminds me of the die from The Magic is in You set. I love the sentiment set and had planned to buy it when released but they have now listed that set as exclusive to the event, so it won't be available for purchase afterwards. If I do choose to sign up, I think it would be for the standard kit only even though I have both a hot foil and BP system. At this point though, I'm leaning towards not participating.

lokismom the sentiments are under essentials so anything on that list will be available after the event. Looks like the Altenew stuff are not exclusive either. There is a FB PF BST site maybe after the event ppl will sell some of the kits.

I know that is supposed to be the case, but if you look at the PF website they specifically marked the sentiment and die set as exclusive to the kit. (1) Hope you are smiling 4 x 6 clear stamp set $16.00 (EVENT EXCLUSIVE) (1) Hope you are smiling coordinating die $19.00 (EVENT EXCLUSIVE)
