Free shipping at Studio Calico. Anything worth getting? I was going to order 3X8 and 6X8 Page Protectors from Ali but glad I held off for the free Shipping from SC. Just ordered from them and threw in the $5 Color Block Recipe Album and a $1.50 Stamp. BUT if I did not need the PPs I would not have ordered anything. The recipe album is totally worth it.

I’ve purchased five of the recipe albums! Four previously, with a code awhile back that made them $3.80 or so, and just one more with this latest free ship offer. They will be Disney albums, I think. I have 3 long WDW trips to document, plus a year of weekend trips to DL. I think they’ll be perfect. Even the funky red color blocking on the covers will work.

Any international peas having issues with their packages from SC?
My 2 x packages were 'transferred to the post office' almost two weeks ago and the UPS tracking hasn't updated since. I would have expected the tracking to have updated to say that it's landed in destination country by now.
I know things are a bit all over the place because of COVID-19 but this seems very, very slow.

Do you have to have SC pp for the recipe album?

Do you have to have SC pp for the recipe album? It’s the same 6-hole format as all the other 6x8 SC albums.

@peachicetea my AE kit was like that too. Said it got through customs and then wasn't updated for 8 days. It came in the mail the next day but according to UPS its still at the international carrier. 🙄

Does anyone else think the cards in the DK kit in April are different than what we've gotten recently? I cant put my finger on it but there is something different. Is it just me?

My package was shipped on April 3. I've got other packages coming from Everyday Explorers and Feed your Craft and they are progressing and updating everyday. They are both with USPS. The Everyday Explorers package has already reached Australia, just three days after shipping.

We are in the exact same situation then but opposite sides of the world Comforting to know we are both dealing with the same issue. Hopefully it's just a tracking fault and we'll both receive our SC packages soon.

They just seem different when compared to January cards.

But I really think something is different. They remind me of when SC changed the cards before. But I cant put my finger on what exactly is different.

Oh no! I hope they aren't lowering the paper quality again. I really don't like the dull paper from when they cheaped out...not only does the color suck so the ink isn't as vibrant, but the ink looks 'feathered' for lack of a better description. Hopefully it's not that bad this time! I'm still waffling on getting the sub for this month...I'd love some retail therapy and this seems like as good of an excuse as any, but still haven't made the decision.

Anyone ordered any mystery kits lately? Are they the really old ones we all have so many of or more recent?
Also, I really hate you can’t buy just the stickers in the new kit if you don’t subscribe. I know later they will be there but I try to limit SC purchases and want a stamp set and the color me happy label stickers. Guess I’ll wait!

I have ordered a couple of the mystery kits and got the really old ones - Jolly Holiday and that other super old one they have for sale for $15 from 2015. I asked how the kits are disbanded bc I’ve seen SC repost stories of people getting decent DKs from MKs and I was told they put all the old kits in a pile and randomly grab one from there to fulfill. Because I’m a glutton for punishment, I have another MK on the way. If it’s another Jolly Holiday or that other dumb one (with the big neon pink YEAH transparency) I’m going to be so annoyed.

Feeling pretty deflated at this point. I'll be surprised if it arrives before May 1st. Fingers crossed, though.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XtL6Ai8_G hop2 there is this sneak of the stamp subs. The top left is next month's, the bottom ones are July & June. There is also a comment on that post where studio calico said that other sneaks are coming soon and that they had a delay getting the kits in and out to the creative team this month. That was 3 days ago.

But I cant put my finger on what exactly is different. I opened my kit last night and went through the cards. I get what you’re saying. They do seem different, but I’m not sure why. Then I questioned if I thought that just because I was looking for something to be different because you had planted the seed. Lol But comparing them to other recent kits, the paper does feel different. Slightly thinner and rougher, I think. The color seems off, but it could just be the overall drab look of the color pallet this month. I don’t like the new hole punched sticker sheets.

honeypea I don’t like the hole punched sticker sheets either. Makes no sense. Why would I put them in my project life album - they don’t even fit in their own 9x12 binders - and travellers notebooks don’t have rings. Makes literally zero sense why they have punched them.

I like some of the upcoming stamps...so I'm hoping there will be more $10 codes. I decided not to get this month's because I just didn't love any of it and figured shopping just to shop wasn't going to make me anymore excited about getting it all in the mail, lol.

I knew 'something' was off but couldn't put my finger on what. And I agree with the color being off as well. They've changed something (personally, I think they have a cheaper made cardstock).

honeypea peachiceteas I think they hole punched the alphas so you could put them in a 6x8 or 3x8 album or in your planner, they would fit in the 6 ring planners. I don't like it though, I already have a good organizational system for my alphas and it fits the old size and shape. At least Ali hasn't switched hers since I buy from her way more often than I do from studio calico.

Fingers crossed, though. No, not one thing has arrived here. I'm waiting for three packages - from SC, Everyday Explorers and Feed Your Craft. The Everyday Explorers one took 3 days from San Francisco to Sydney and has now been in Sydney for nine days, but hasn't arrived. The FYC one has so far been to New York, San Fran and then back to Chicago, before arriving in Sydney today. At least I can follow the tracking on those two. The SC package was shipped on April 3, but the tracking went dead on April 8 and no update since.
