Crumbs. If SC are now doing acrylic rather than photopolymer - might as well buy stamp sets from AliExpress and save ourselves some coin.

On the 30th, I got an email to take a survey for $5 off my next purchase. I took the survey and no code at the end. I assumed that I would get an email with the code. Nothing has arrived. I messaged asking where the code is, but I haven't gotten a response yet.

I ended up getting my January kit after all! Only took an extra month 🙄
I started a convo prior to posting and got a "hello ty for giving us your $$$ we still want your $$$ so sending another one out today" type of reply. No explanation for what happened, no "sry we effed up", nothing. Par for the course and all lol
Meanwhile Feb shipped out literally the morning after. Make it make sense inked!

February kit arrived yesterday. Same thin stamp set, so I will be emailing again.
While the stamp is disappointing the colors of this months kit are so beautiful!! Maybe because I took a year off? But I’m pretty giddy about the kit.

Free shipping to Canada went from $99 minimum purchase to $120 a few months ago, now it’s at $150. If I want one item shipped it’s minimum $7 now.
I can get a whole box of stuff from other online stores for $7.
I don’t need their assorted junk that badly. If they are now going to crap out on the quality of their stamps, I’m done.

But I’m pretty giddy about the kit. I agree on both counts. The stamp quality is crap, but the colors of the kit are gorgeous! |

Sneaks for next month out today, here's screenshots from their stories. Again, why do they put most of the photos there instead of the grid??! So dumb.     Love these colors and can definitely use these better than the past few months' color ways. That domino card though.. we literally just got it with a few more dominos in February's kit 🙄 Small fonts on these Ali Express quality stamps will never stamp clearly either so that's a bust. |

I’ve never bought a SC kit before but I like that top one and I want that donut stamp even though I know the quality is garbage. Hopefully it sells out before I remember to go look for it (not subbing for sure - I typically don’t care for their stuff that much and I don’t need it).

I can’t believe they are recycling the rainbow burst with the words design - I didn’t really care for it when they used it years ago.

I was looking at what I could add to my stamp kit. And noticed I can add Jan and Feb kit stamp for just $5 each. Each kit seems to be offering this.
For the documenter and Travelers Notebook it might be a good deal for extra embellishments, but the stamp kit makes no sense unless you're a new subscriber.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for pointing this out! I just scooped up the Documenter kits. I was going to wait for an eventual sale down the road, but it’ll never be better than $5! Factoring in the full price kit m2m sub to access the add-in options, the cost per kit is like $13. Sold! I loved last month’s and this month’s cards & embellishments. Yay! I’d like last month’s stamp kit, and for $5! That is amazing. But I don’t care for this month’s stamp kit at all. |

I got my order of sale DK kits this weekend and went through the contents. Love the journalling cards and embellishments but out of 4 kits 2 sets of stamps are practically unusable! They are the crappy quality that we have been seeing for the past few months. Not lying but I kept the sleeve and threw out the stamp. I'm not going to fight with it and I doubt that anyone would want to buy it or even get it as a freebie. They are *that* bad! I wonder if enough people complain if it would make a difference?

They absolutely will not care. To them, they are including a stamp and thats value. Nevermind that the stamp sucks. |

Yesterday I used a 4x6 shop stamp that I got in the big warehouse sale last year (September I think) and I can’t tell if the material is that new acrylic or not but the stamping surface is barely more pronounced than the negative space. So when you stamp with them, you end up not getting a good impression and most detail is lost. I have noticed the same problem with the newer cheap kit stamps. I believe the stamp is one they have had for a while and it’s 4x6, not 3x4 so I’m not sure why it would be made like the new poorly made ones. I also bought the new 2023 New Years stamp and that one is made well. It does not make sense at all but I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this quality issue with some of the larger, older designs. Maybe I just received a badly manufactured set?

Oh I know that Inked is Inked and it might not make a difference to them but I do remember when the journalling cards shifted to a thin flimsy weight of cardstock. They did move back to a better quality after enough people complained.

I subbed this month to get those $5 add-on kits. I want to put in a skip for next month, but the skip option isn’t showing like it always has before. Anyone know how it works now?

Now I remember that’s where it’s always been. 🤪 It’s been awhile and I forgot it was under My Orders. At the top of the drop down menu is “My Documenter Kit” and I kept clicking into that. |

Am I imagining things, or do the zipper pouches feel different?
I swear they’re less pliable and feel sort of … crunchy?

I only ordered stamps and had to pay for shipping (seems like they need to change the verbiage on their website because clear stamps do not "always ship free"). I started a convo but got the "nothing from the sale ships free" response. It was part of the sale exclusions, totally understood, but thought I'd ask anyway.

I have found that full price stamps ship free and sale stamps do not (in my experience) Lisa |

I forgot about the sale. I had gone to bed early and it just slipped my mind. Oh well. Probably didn't really need anything.
