Why they don't get her to design for the DK or allow her to create the occasional overpriced mini kit for SC (not just the super themed stuff for AE like DD or WITL/DITL) is beyond my understanding. Ditto, I would eat it up like the most delicious snack. More IACB for SC would go down a treat too. Seriously, I know Liz probably doesn't feel like she has a monthly sub in her but imagine a SEASONAL kit by Liz Tamanaha. Like a DK but one per season, designed to document regular life through the year. I'd sign up in a heartbeat, no questions asked, despite all the past SChenanigans (and there are many). |

PSA for anyone who is into 'attachers' - SC have a die set and stickers in their shop. I almost jumped at the stickers and then realised they are flipping expensive for what they are and instead I am going to make some on my Cricut. Dang it. I will probably have to get this set if they have a sale. I'm trying to be chilly this year...2 days in and I'm not sure how this is going to go lol. I have the first set they had forever ago before they switched to 6 rings. I would like to have that 3 hole die to use. |

I saw that die and immediately kicked myself for not getting a die cut machine already. That thing will be SOOO handy. I keep trying to fashion my own with labels and it’s a pain & doesn’t turn out well.

Well didn't I predict this? And of course, nothing from SC about the kits not shipping when they were supposed to. I should win a prize. And yeah, it’s only one piece but come on. Communicate with the people who pay your bills.  |

Please explain this attacher die. I don’t get it lol It allows you to create a paper 'attacher' that you adhere to ephemera so you can include those items in your albums without punching holes in the item itself. I find them useful for items like postcards or leaflets.  Oh interesting thx. Could be handy for sure. I’ve been using the Citrus Twist adhesive page strips. |

I paid, over a month ago,for December's kit which I've not received..that they haven't shipped! How is this not a form of fraud? |

I love the CT adhesive page strips - my stash that I've been hoarding since they decided to stop shipping to the UK a year ago is dwindling! |

This issue with SC and the missing kit components really boggles my mind.
I just cannot believe that they are running that close to the wire every month. This isn't the first time that Inked have experienced delays. Why are they not planning and creating kits much further in advance?
I guess there is no incentive to get your shit together when you can just take people's money and make them wait.

I generally loathe butterflies and I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single butterfly icon on any project I’ve ever done, but these ones actually appeal to me. Crazy. 😂 Had to laugh because LLP designed those butterflies.  |

Why are they not planning and creating kits much further in advance? What wire, peach? Off into sunset with the sub money is the only running they're doing. They haven't even sent out the December DKs yet.  I'd find the whole thing way more laughable if subscribers weren't being held hostage by Inked's lack of foresight. We are nearing two years of pandemic shipment issues and they're still pulling that card, expecting sympathy. Before the pandemic, they also pulled the "stuck in customs, not our fault!!!11!" card every once in a while. It's their job to take such extra time delays into account and plan accordingly. They simply aren't capable. Or the gif battles are too entertaining. You decide! |

You won’t regret buying the attacher die. I have an older set with 2 holes and a single hole. Probably my most used die. I have a Tim
holtz mini die cut machine and that sucker stays on my desk for all of album assembly time. It’s too much hassle to use the Cameo.

Hello Studio Calico,
Please release some more word/phrase stickers. I know you have them in your kits. Put them up as individual items in the shop. Or make some sets for the shop. I don't care. Just give me word stickers. I'll pay full price. I particularly love Goldenwood Co's italic aesthetic.
Kthanxbyyyyye

It's now sitting on my desk next to my Diamond Press mini die cutting machine so I'll use it more. Thanks for the reminder to get it out.  |

Wow. What a cluster. I was really happily surprised, but confused!, how these little scrap companies were trucking along unscathed by the pandemic supplies chaos for soooo long, but it certainly has caught up to them. SC usually has a good sub promo in December/January and that never came about, no doubt because of this mess. Thanks for sharing the email, mom. |

Holy f#+king hell!! I just got the above posted email from Studio Calico. My December kit hasn't shipped,and as it's the TN kit it won't ship till Feb!
I contacted my bank. I explained that a subscription kit with automatic withdrawal has been taking the money but not shipping the product. They told me that's a form of fraud. They will investigate and in the meantime they're starting the process to refund my money.
They're claiming Jan kits have shipped. I haven't received a shipping notice. I'm seriously about to loose my sh*t over this.

I honestly think they sent this out because if people are going to file charge backs, they usually have to be done within 45 days and we should be there quickly. They had to dangle the 'the kits are coming' carrot so people will remain calm. |

What a mess. The December kits were decent-looking so I can see people actually accepting to wait several more weeks to get their stuff in the end. But it's really just toying with their subbers at this stage. Inked is actually big in this niche industry. Other far smaller companies haven't had any delays since the start of the pandemic... I don't get it. |

So remember a bunch of us got shipping notices for January kits? Yeah…I got one on Wednesday and my kit is still waiting to be shipped. It never mailed out. I’ll never believe they aren’t being shady so people won’t do a chargeback.

I'm shaking. Is the world coming to an end? It must be, as I hold in my hand my Studio Calico January TN kit!?! Of course I still don't have December's kit. But...
I have January's kit. In. January! Like it's really real, I can see it and smell it and feel it and I'm actually holding it in my hands! January's kit has arrived and it's still January. 😮😮😮😮
Now if it wasn't so butt ugly and I would/could actually use it. (sigh) Maybe in March when the December kit actually shows up I can use it as it actually looked really nice.
