Finally received my “Things are looking up” stamp from SC that was preordered in May. It’s kinda surreal that things were looking up when I ordered it, and now things are getting out of control again, especially in my state. 😬😢 Right? 😭

Still waiting for my stamp set, I think it *might* be delivered tomorrow or Monday.

Ah, yes. I’m a couple hours east of you, in what I’ve dubbed the armpit of California. So many anti-vaxers and idiots thumbing their noses at science. It is so disheartening and frustrating. My Things Are Looking Up stamp landed in San Leandro this morning. Hoping it makes it to me tomorrow, but probably wont until Monday.

That San Leandro post office hub is huge so fingers crossed it will get to you on Monday (probably more like Tuesday). An acquaintance lives in the Central Valley near Modesto and she said it's misinformation land out there and to avoid at all costs. I'm in the South Bay (Santa Clara county).

I went ahead and skipped next month already and will cancel when the stamp arrives. Other then that I think to be safe I would cancel July 30th (two days before August). Technically you have until 1 minute before reveal day, but I don’t trust them that much. How did you skip next month already? Do you have to start a conversation with them or is it somewhere in your account settings?

How are you ladies already getting your Things Are Looking Up stamp set? I got a shipping notification the same day as the first got posted here and my order is still sitting in the Inked warehouse per UPS tracking.
Daaaafuuuuuuq.

I wish they'd have the skip option in our account like Heidi does for her subs. It's SO easy.

The skip option was available for me there - no conversation necessary.

My tracking showed as label printed but sat there for a week, then shipping updated right before it was delivered. I hate UPS tracking - it sucks. Also, I live one state over, although it always travels all the way through my state, then back to me. So weird.

My TALU stamp is here, and tracking says that the few items I ordered earlier in the week are due to arrive on Monday. Yay! I do think I got lucky though.

Got the Color Theory label sub for $3. When do I have to cancel by? You have to cancel by the 25th of the month. After the 25th, if you’ve forgotten to cancel, you can skip the upcoming kit (by the end of the month) and then cancel the next month.

If you use the $14 off code to subscribe, and then place another order for the $1 digitals, you not only can use the 14% off code, but also automatically get the additional 10% subber discount, so the digitals are $0.77 each. The 10% doesn’t appear to apply to physical products though.

What digital elements are people picking up during the sale? I feel like I am endlessly scrolling. I always stock up on the newest sets of PL cards and stamp sets that I think I like (ones released since the previous digital sale). Some sales I scroll through everything, but others I don't. This time I did and found a few things that are either "new" yet old (one or two Scrapbook Kit papers this time around) or something that might work for what I might need in a different phase of life/scrapping. Other times I just scroll through and think of one two thoughts...man, they used to have some great stuff...followed by, man they used to have some useless crap (this time around it was the era of planner stamps that I was so excited to get because of the theme, but have since realized they are completely useless outside of a planner because they are so small and use a plain font for the words.)

I got several of the “Bookish” travel digi stamps, plus some of the newer stamps and the High Five cards.

I see they are selling the class items for Laura Wonsik’s class in parts. The stamp set is pretty generic and I wouldn’t pay $$$ for that set of papers.
Thoughts?

Agree 100% I really like Laura and she can be very fun & creative sometimes, but the example pages shown for that notebook are really as basic as it gets. Reminds me of her snore of a contribution to Ali’s travel stories class last year. Where she made super basic pages of every trip she’d ever been on in her life. 🤷🏻♀️

22 of the month and my TN and DK are still in US while it's shipped the 6 of the month... I'm in the same boat, marinette ! Incredibly slow shipping to internationals. Contrary to cbscrapper , my UPS shipping didn't just delay updating. Inked held on to my parcel for 2 weeks in the warehouse after creating a shipping label. My tracking says UPS received it for processing in Bensenville yesterday. So, I guess the new game in town to save money at Inked Brands is to wait and fill bigger containers of international mail before ordering a pick-up. With many US brands and designers ending shipping to the EU and UK, Inked must have had an increased amount of orders since it's one of the few left. Their response? Slow down parcel flow to increase their margin on international orders. *deep sigh* Welcome to the frustrating life of the international scrapbooker. I won't receive this stamp set before well into August, will I?

It's a Goldenwood Co. stamp set I would have loved back in 2015. Today? No, thanks. The paper pad is just just an uninspired rainbow of colours at best. This is a very unimpressive class product release.

I won't receive this stamp set before well into August, will I? It's so crazy! Each month is sooooo slow for getting the kits. I ordered several times at Scrapbook.com and after one week, my order is here. So, what's going on with SC and AE??

I too am bored of waiting for SC and AE packages to arrive. They seems to take weeks to even leave the warehouse, nevermind the US. I completely understand how you're feeling sleepingbooty and marinette ❤️ I'm not going to grumble too much as I'm thankful for the opportunity to purchase supplies. I sound like a complete broken record saying that. 🙃 Reality of life post-Brexit.

You two are far kinder as paying customers than I am, marinette peachiceteas . The long waiting times to have stuff shipped from the warehouse pisses me off. They are treating internationals like second-class customers and that's what I have a problem with. I'm not going to blame them too quickly for the long shipping transits as the pandemic has messed things quite a bit up and Inked are still practicing affordable shipping but 2 weeks of sitting in the warehouse? Not impressed.

I won't receive this stamp set before well into August, will I? True, although it only takes about two days to get to me once it ships so it sat about a week once the label was printed before it moved. It’s so frustrating. Don’t print the label unless you’re sending it out! Elle’s Studio gets stuff packed, labeled AND shipped faster than SC, and they are much farther away from me. 🙄 Yet, I still order from SC sometimes, but not anywhere close to what I use to.
