My SC kit arrived and I love the paper pad. The paper is a great quality and I love the patterns this month. I know not everyone loved this month’s kits but I think the colors are really pretty. Good to hear, thanks for your opinion. 😀

Has anyone started Kari's class yet? What do you think? If I get sometime this weekend, I plan to watch the lessons

I just got the Heidi Swapp Carefree one in the mail and ugh, I forgot how much I dislike AC's printing + paper quality in these pads. I think the quality is great. I was surprised by how thick the paper is and the edges are perfectly clean. I don’t regret my purchase at all.

Studio Calico/Inked, hear me out... Imagine a fabric-covered album for Christmas BUT instead of regular fabric, a weave that has a metallic thread running through it! Fancy, right? Solid mark-up right there at just a small extra cost on your side. Come on. Dream with me. Your fabric-covered album competitors haven't thought of it yet. You could be the first, jussayin'.

I like this thinking.... I could even be persuaded to cough up the ridiculous $$ this would probably come at. I really do love the six ring set up, but shipping times, international shipping costs and foul exchange rates have all but having me cut the last strings....

Has anyone started Kari's class yet? What do you think? If I get sometime this weekend, I plan to watch the lessons I went thru it last weekend... I like her finished album, buuuuuut... It was "here's few photos I took each month...and by the way you have to remove the pages to flip thru them. It was not as introspective of 2020 as I was expecting--almost like they planned the class in 2019 because of the phrase "hindsight is 20/20" and didn't adjust anything after going thru the crap year that was 2020. There was no focus on the story, just the photos. I guess I don't want a doom & gloom themed album, but something that helped to summarize 2020, looking back on it 6 months later. There was very little information about the album itself--especially how to attach (and where) the binder, which doesn't quite work in an album like this. She did have a good video about editing photos in one batch. All in all, I thought the class was useless, but I am glad I got the kit. I know it was only a $10 class, but I don't feel I got my money's worth. I just hope the other 3 classes are better since I went ahead and got the bundle.

I just started last night but only got through the video about batch processing which I did appreciate but that's as far as I got.

Hi - I read this thread from time to time and used to be on the defunct SC forum, but am mainly a card maker, so SC isn’t a big go-to, though love some of their papers. One of their stamp sets - that I have - has been out of stock for ages, and a friend has been looking for it for ages. I’ve searched too, and have stamped images for her. SC told me they are more likely to bring a stamp set back when there are a lot of requests. So I’m hoping some of you might want the set and/or be willing to visit the page and ask to be notified when it’s restocked. (Who knows if there could be another reason it’s not reissued.) www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamp-set-4x6-house-guests-by-life-love-paperBTW, it’s sometimes used with this set: www.studiocalico.com/shop/stamp-set-4x6-house-by-life-love-paperThank you!

huskermom98 Uuuugh, how disappointing! I was waiting for our summer vacay photos to dive into the class but I'm sorry to hear it's not living up to Kari's usual standards. And SC sold a pretty expensive kit to go with it, too. How do you not explain the basics of how the album is built and leave your customers holding their fastener in their hands and let them figure it out? No hindsight either so... erm... off topic? Yikes.

CardBoxer I hit the notification button for you but don't hold out hope: the SC refugees tried to get the Halloween set of this House series by LLP revived through notification button-ing and it didn't work. Maybe (hopefully) it'll be different this time!

I really love the papers in the kit, so usable but wanted an album. I was worried about the lack of photos and finished product in previews. Does anyone have an idea how to use that kind of fastener in an album?

They have a new sketch class out. I love a sketch, but that stamp isn’t all that interesting to me and who knows what the class will be like. Anyone going to sign up?

@skellinton I am thinking about signing up. I like the stamp set and I'm hoping the sketches are applicable for 12x12 pages.

I can’t imagine how you can turn pages with that filing clip thing, unless you score each page. Those clips are fine (though annoying IMO) in a office/utilitarian sort of way, with regular copy paper, but seem like a very poor choice for photos.

The fastener is like what Simple Stories uses for their flipbooks. It works with their larger/wider page protectors but I've also scored things outside the protectors to make.. "flipability" happen. The most annoying thing I find is having to rebuild if I want to add something in later on.
With welcome10 the class/stamp comes down to $27 and I kind of really love the numbers in the stamp??? I wish it included 0-9 and I don't really need to spend more money this month.. but I'm thinkin' bout it. I generally love Kelly's stuff and seeing Geralyn, Laura, and Heba included in the sketch round robin has me interested. I'll probably think about it so long until the stamp is oos and have my mind made up for me, hah.

I just dug out some 4 x 6 page protectors and I'll have to adjust measurements a little bit but that way I can at least turn each page without having to take it apart.
That fastener was really a dumb idea and I wish I would have really noticed it and thought about it before I bought the class.
Oh well. I think I'll enjoy the album once I have it done regardless.

I was excited for the fastener so I could try something new, but now I'm trying to figure out how I'll do my pages. I wish SC still had a gallery so I could how others use the faster (without having to hunt them down on IG). Maybe after i finish my WITL.
I sincerely hope someone gets something useful out of the class. I waited a few days to post my opinions but no one else was posting about it. It is rare that I get thru a class that fast, but we were traveling over the weekend so I had time to watch the short videos in the car.

Use code: LHEY20 for 20% off, making the stamp + class $23ish. I am disappointed its only TN sketches though. If I had read that first, I wouldn't have bothered.

I ended up buying the class, but I use TN's a lot and I liked last year's class as well. Thanks for the discount code, I almost paid full price.

I ended up signing up today. Hopefully the sketches will be easily adapted to 12x12 pages, and I like the stamp.

I just wanted to let you guys know that some Studio Calico products just came into the Scrapbook . com store. Includes a couple travel stamps, some Color Theory stuff, and the photostrip stamp. Here's the link...

Holy crap, I placed an order for labels from SC this morning, I just got a shipping notice. I have never gotten anything from SC shipped fast, much less *that* fast!
( hope it’s right 🤞🏻 )

I like those sneaks, but not enough to pick up the kit at mtm prices. I understand why they have so many different artist for their kits but all the styles are so drastically different it really distracts me. There are some very graphic cards, water colory ones, cartoony ones. It is too much in one kit, I think. I I don't care for gummy bears but that card is super cute, as is the ice cream one, but I don't know what I think about the colored macaroni card.😝

Don’t love it or hate it. I hated last month.
I do not like lime or olive greens and the sneaks gave off neon lime vibes. Wish they had done peach and coral instead of so much PINK. Don’t care for any of the stamps.
