has anyone had issues with their older SC stamps where the printing on the stamp carrier sheet has started to come off onto their stamps? I haven't noticed this issue but I'll take another look at my older SC stamp sets today to check! I did notice the printing on the stamp carrier sheet of the Quarantine stamp set Geralyn designed for SC had rubbed off lightly on the stamp sleeve it came in. That's less than a year old... Eep! Yep, my Quarantine set has done that too.

I noticed that the promo code works on subscriptions, so I tried to add the month-by-month option to my cart to check out with the other sets that I was buying. Completed my order and then found out in my confirmation that sub stamp wasn't in the order... and since I already used the promo code, I can't use it again. So now I'm back to square one. They do have a digital version and I'll get that if I need to, but I'd prefer the real stamps. Damn it! Always proofread before hitting submit, Peas. Create a second account and the code will work on that one!

cbscrapper ....you are too smart lol! I didn't even think of doing that. It's okay though, I grabbed the digital set after some more thought and I'm happy with that. Then I dropped $100 on a piece of original art elsewhere. Whoops! I'm being good with the rest of my stimulus check, it's going towards debt and savings, promise

Dear Studio Calico, Bullfighting has been outlawed in Catalunya, the autonomous region that has Barcelona as their capital, since 2011. Ten years ago, olé (you forgot the accent but that doesn't matter since... there's no bullfighting in Barcelona!). Also, flamenco is from the south of Spain, not the north, no need for that fan icon. Also, it's Casa Milà, not Milá. I'm *this* close to calling all these basic mistakes cultural disrespect. Lean on your audience to find a native to help your designers. Offer them the stamp set for free in return for double-checking your designs and correcting all that's wrong. It's worth the $18.99, ffs.

Part of the problem is that they crowd source the content for those stamps through Instagram.
How about you put a bit of effort in and actually reach out to the customers you must have from these parts of the world rather than relying on tourists, or possibly people who’ve never been to these places, to give you ideas.

Yep, my Quarantine set has done that too. I checked my stamps this weekend because I knew besides the Quarantine stamp there was another that was also bad right away, and it’s the outdoor travel stamp set that was part of the TN travel kit that came out in 2019. I am terrible about remembering kit names. It was a IACB stamp. I also had 2 KP stamps with smudges, but I’m pretty sure they were seconds from the blowout sale, and priced accordingly.

My January stamp subscription set FINALLY arrived in NZ today! A mere 11 weeks after I received the shipping notice 🤦🏼♀️🤪
I skipped Feb, forgot to cancel March and will likely see a set I really didn't like some time in June.
I have now cancelled 😝
Honestly, it feels like time travel in the cheap seats with SC. They used to be so good. Yeeeeeeeaars ago!

It's a while since I hung around here so I'm just catching up again. So happy to read good news re vaccinations - given that I'm probably about the same age as many of your parents, you'll understand how come I've had my first AstroZeneca shot and yes, just like others I was very emotional. It's been a tough year and it's not going to suddenly change either. Bravo peachiceteas for working around the recent restrictions on ordering goodies from the US. I was going to post in the thread we began about this but it's so old, it seemed crazy to rekindle it. But, are there any further developments on the handling of EU/UK tax, does anyone know? I stopped reading blogs and IG from those companies who stopped accepting international orders and now wouldn't notice if they changed their policy! sleepingbooty good call re that Barcelona stamp set. Ignorance is absolutely no excuse.... It feels good to be back! Whatever kept me away? (I have no idea)

Welcome back elegantsufficiency and Congratulations on your shot! I have not seen anything regarding the EU/UK taxes, but I don't follow a lot of companies on IG.

I used to sub to Studio Calico many years ago, but now just buy occasional items during their sales. However I just saw the Monthly stamp series designed by Geralyn of IACB and want to start buying those for the year. Jan and Feb are sold out, do the Peas think Studio Calico might restock them??? I have no idea what their stocking practices are anymore..... Hi. I just wanted to let you know that if you go to scrapbook.com, and go to the new products section, you'll see under today, that Jan, Feb, and March is under the Studio Calico section there. As of now they are still in stock. I will try to come back and make a link but not sure how to do that on my tablet. www.scrapbook.com/store/brand/studio+calico.html?date=20210323&nocs=1I hope it works...

But, are there any further developments on the handling of EU/UK tax, does anyone know? I stopped reading blogs and IG from those companies who stopped accepting international orders and now wouldn't notice if they changed their policy! No real developments re: VAT in UK/EU to report. Christine from Everyday Explorers has found a work-around for physical goods by only allowing UK orders over a certain amount (close to US$200) to be placed on her website. This means you're running into the risk of having to pay VAT + that darn expensive tax collection fee upon receiving your goods in the UK. Paper Person will stop delivering to the EU this summer. In A Creative Bubble's shop hasn't been updated in months and Geralyn has mentioned that she's trying to find a solution to the *Canadian* VAT issue now... 'Tis a mess.

Geralyn's Here For The Memories stamp set is back in stock at SC. Anybody got a code that could take a little bit off the price to push me over the SCliff?

Thanks, cbscrapper mom . I ended up adding the stamp set as a guest and not even needing to bother typing out WELCOME10 since SC offered me a clickable 10% coupon. If I'd known. Came out to $17.09/15,08€ for me. No taxes. I wonder if Inked will collect taxes for the EU properly when it becomes mandatory later this year. Anyway, Geralyn made me do it! She's the only reason I still purchase from SC once in a blue moon...

Free shipping for US & Canadian customers this weekend. "Some exclusions may apply." Maybe some of you want to buy an album and this could be a nice way to get it shipped for free.

nicolep Did you see the weather-themed 6x8 stamp set designed by Geralyn for SC's April Stamp kit? It's in their IG stories today. April release looks yummy. Geralyn has also designed a road trip stamp... Tina from LLP has worked on a Travel collection (with a surprisingly clean-ish look). Kari Stiles has a stamp set for SC. I'm so freakin' excited! She does minimal basics so well. This looks like it may have a city life vibe to it? Liz Tamanaha has a books/reading stamp set coming out.

Does anyone know if the stamp by One Little Bird is actually new and not just a release? I was so sad when Peppermint quit designing. I'd love to see her come back.
Never mind, I see it listed under "comeback stamps". I got so excited for a second.

Man, the Good Day Sunshine kit looks amazing! The first three kits this year have been kind of meh, but this one I love. Glad I stuck with my sub. Also noticed how well the colors coordinate with the WITL products from Ali.
