What do you think of the new kits? Sorry, peas. I've stopped reading this thread. Just dipping a toe back in to see what's up. Can you tell me what's "new" about the new kits?

What do you think of the new kits? I really like the DK cards and am considering getting them (digital). I haven't been tempted by much lately.

What do you think of the new kits? I don’t like the DK cards at all, the colors are just too drab to me, but I do like the chipboard and stamp set. I do like the big numbers and the cursive alphabet stamp set, but not enough to buy them.

I really like the DK this month and that doesn't happen often lately. The fill-in cards are fun and versatile. Love the random fact cards, too. The designs are nice. The colour scheme looks very autumnesque but let's be honest, it would be a struggle to use with my outdoors pictures. We don't really do grey skies and layers of colourful leaves where I live. Stamp set is easy to use for everyday documenting. Those doodled acetate numbers look great (although I'd prefer to have them on vellum). I even like the puffy asterisks although they do look a bit like The Virus. If I celebrated Thanksgiving, I'd definitely consider getting the Friendsgiving stamp set. Love the actual Friends references in there. Kudos to SC for doing a Diwali stamp set this year. They're definitely riding on KP's coat tails here but hey, at least it's something.

Studio Calico is such a mess! Every.single.time I've ordered during a sale, it takes at least two weeks for them to ship. And each time, they end up out of stock on items I've ordered. Can they not just keep electronic track of their inventory like other online companies?
Last week I was shocked that I got a shipping notice from them within one week, but the order has remained "active" since then. Today, true to form, I received an out-of-stock email from Customer Service. Why would they even send a shipping notice when they don't even know what's in stock? This is getting so tiresome.

It's like a toxic relationship that I keep going back to.

They used to not even send the out of stock email. You'd get your order, an item(s) were missing. You'd contact them, have to send a photo to prove it and then they'd say the item is out of stock. They didn't even refund you automatically, sometimes you had to chase. Drove me nuts.
Now I don't buy from them very often and even when I do, I have a high expectation that they will screw me.

I always thought that was the most ridiculous thing ever to prove with a photo that you didn't receive something. I mean, tell me how to prove a negative? I think I pissed them off the times they wanted me to do this. I told them I could take a photo of my order and put a post it note with a sad face and the name of the missing item but what's the point? And I'm officially forever over SC. I don't even care if they have the best stamp or kit ever ever again.

Same here. I was definitely confused by the late notification of an out of stock item. That's the first "WTF" I've had with Studio Calico and hoping it's the last.

I made my post a few days ago then got busy with life + work and forgot to come back and post again!
I canceled my travelers notebook kit before this month but I did pick up the documenter kit, color theory kit, and stamp kit. I also picked up an extra set of puffy asterisks and the 4x6 Juniper script stamp set.
Overall, I love the kits this month. The doc kit has some fun elements, including the large numbers, asterisks, and chipboard. The stamp set looks very usable, too.
I am hoping the script stamp set lines up! I loved the October Afternoon script stickers in the package, but they didn’t line up! Drove me crazy.

This is ridiculous. I was charged VAT on my October SBTM kit and yet when it arrived in my country it got flagged by customs and I had to pay the VAT + customs fee again. Inked had obviously not done things correctly. They did refund me the tax paid but we are back to having every order stuck in customs for god knows how long. I am so over this. This and the delays and the plastic pouches...it's one thing after the other. I am cancelling my subscription once the December kit has shipped. Oh and they did not reach out to me regarding these changes to tax collection.

They came on the stamps. It’s been awhile since I bought anything from SC but I picked a couple of things up in the recent sale and when I went to put them in my bin they don’t fit. 😕

I don’t know I haven’t bought there for quite some time ( 11 months I went & checked ) so if it was announced I have no idea when. The sleeves used to be 6 1/2”.

I’m curious because the latest stamps I’ve received have been restocked, and it’s 50/50 if they show up in a sleeve. They seem to be the same size as always though. I measured a few and they all appear to be 6 3/4, but I’m using a 6” ruler and might be off a bit.

SC’s current kit and components sale lists “kits as low as $5” both in their marketing email and in ads on Facebook. BUT, I filtered by “kits” and they list a total of ONE kit on sale for $5 (the super thin color theory scallop label stickers that are cream-based). 🙄🙄 Someone called them out in the comments on the facebook ad too, saying there weren’t any $5 kits. The rest of them are $15 or more, excluding the Very old ABM kits.
Typical Inked.
