All Wrapped Up-- ... I don't like one of the fonts SS keeps using in their Christmas lines ... If you are referring to the font used for the collection logo (& shown on the top left "jingle all the way" card of the Elements 2x2/4x4 Paper), I also find it difficult to read. |

... I like this line but don’t love it due to the off white. I will buy a few pieces but the off white is a pass on some of the items. ... This is usually my thought process on SS cream-based collections. I wish SS would reserve the cream backgrounds for its Simple Vintage line & either not use them at all or at least infrequently in non-vintage collections. I've found the cream base often varies among (& sometimes even within) SS collections, & Bazzill Vanilla (not French Vanilla) cardstock matches the cream background with the pinkish undertone used in SS collections. |

Would it kill them to be inclusive and add an additional Santa with a darker skin tone in the "bits" packs?! In a pack of so many pieces surely two Santas is doable. Agree; sadly, the lack of inclusivity is glaring. |

I ordered some all wrapped up, 2 papers of hard candy polka dots and strips which I have a weakness for), and three papers of flannel. ACOT has 20% off right now + my cherry points so it was pretty cheap. Holding the order for a little more Christmas (like I need it). Didn’t care for anything else.

Thanks for your responses. I noticed this release does not include stencils or (6x8) albums. I'm not interested in vintage collections, hand-drawn illustrations/fonts, faux stitching, calendars, or SS merch. While I like a few of the colorful non-themed patterned papers (e.g. stripes, dots) from Hard Candy Christmas, nothing is added to my wish list.

I really like flannel season, especially the vintage images.
I love the name Hard Candy Christmas and the names of the papers in reference to the Dolly Parton song. I wouldn't mind a couple of papers to document a Christmas memory.
I'll pass on the rest.

I LOVE Hard Candy Christmas but also find it so jarring because the song is actually pretty...sad? Like, a Hard Candy Christmas isn't really a super great one.
Now obviously it's not like the name of the line is all over the line itself, my brain is just struggling to compute hahaha SUPER cute though!!! But like others have said, I have SO MUCH CHRISTMAS STUFF so we shall see...

The calendar one might be fun to deconstruct into a sort of Project Life-inspired larger album.
