Got my first kit in! Awesome kit! I am amazed at all that came in it! Stamps, paper, a die, etc! Does anyone else here subscribe to this? Are all the kits this great? I love that they included foam tape....do they include that in every kit? Anyways, not much of a card maker, but I love this kit! I will make some cards and the rest will be used in my scrapbooking.....

I love the SSS kits, but I don't subscribe. I like to preview them first to see how much use I will get out of the stamps. One of the first kits I bought is still sitting waiting to be used - it just wasn't my style. Sometimes I will just buy part of the kit al a carte.
Not all kits have the same items. The August kit came with foam tape because shaker cards are popular again and they are giving you the opportunity to make one. Although all kits have cardstock, 6x6 papers and clear stamps, the other items change.
You can Google SSS Card Kit [Month Year] and you will get lots of ideas.
I also gave a kit as a birthday gift. I ordered it and had it sent directly to her house.

I subscribe. It's been 14 months, and I've loved or really liked 13 of the kits. I never buy 6 x 6 paper, so it's nice to get a good little set every month. The foam tape is a first (for me). I love it when they include a little die. They have been doing this more often. I've been really happy with this kit.

Good to know they're good. I've been eying the kits for a while but have never been sure how much use Id actually get from them.

Just as an FYI - you can skip months. So if you subscribe you get the better price but you aren't obligated to purchase every month.
I'm waiting for the next kit that I *love* to jump in. I'm tempted with this August kit.

I joined last month and was pretty happy with the June kit even though I don't sail or know anyone that does. I made a few cards that I might use someday. This month's kit doesnt speak to me. I would rather pass and get other scrappy goodness that is in my cart.

When I do sign up I'm going to do so with Paypal so I have to actually pay the invoice and it's not an auto-charge. |

I don't subscribe but have a few of them. I like their stamps and I like that you get a full sheet or set of stamps with quality cs.

Does every kit come with a die? I don't have a die cut machine, so that would be a useless piece for me.
But, I do like the stamps and papers! And I love that they allow you to skip kits.

The kits really vary. Dies are not always included. I've gotten ink pads, perfect pearls, washi tape, distress ink markers, mini distress ink pads.

I used to subscribe and most times the kits were great but sometimes there were things in the kit that I knew I'd never use. I skipped a few months and then finally cancelled the membership. But they have intrigued me lately and got me thinking about resubscribing...

I'm not currently a subscriber but have subscribed two times previously. I think the kits are a good value but I was getting things in them that I didn't need. I like washi tape but have enough to wrap my house and maybe the neighborhood. I already purchase the Tim Holtz cubes and markers so getting them in a kit just adds to my giveaway pile.
So what I have been doing lately is just buying the stamp sets.

I am a recent subscriber and I skipped the most recent kit. For other subscribers, maybe we can do swaps of things we don't want or need.

I have subbed for a few months now. It seems to be a great amount of product for the price. My goal is the use all the products in the kit to make the cards. It is helping me use new techniques in my card making. I needed to fill a void after SC and I am happier with these kits.
