so I ordered the FP warehouse box a week (two weeks? I don't know) ago. I got a notice 6 days ago saying it would ship in 1-2 days! Has anyone received theirs? What's in it?! After being  about the Basic Grey box, I am excited to get some more stuff! (As if I need it, haha!) |

I received mine yesterday. Although I wasn't over the moon about it, I am satisfied. There were several sticker sheets and a few embellishment packs. But there was lots of paper. Most of mine was from True friend, burlap and bouquets, everyday circus and meology. But a few random papers were really old and not something I will likely use. However FP is awesome with their B sides, and I think I will be able to use it all. So a very practical box, but not too exciting for me, anyway. There was also probably ten sheets of corrugated paper, which I honestly will probably give to my kids.

I bought two boxes. I should have asked for the same box twice. I always scrap two sets of layouts. I think it was worth the price for all of the stock. I was worried it might have too much girlie stuff, but it didn't. Box boxes were similar in content, but from different lines. I loved that I got some Beach Bum. We are headed to Mexico and I had already planned several layers with that line. I also got a lot of sheets of Swagger. Good for masculine layouts. Each box also had several sets of ribbon FP style. I have yards and yards of it!

I agree with the others. I'll give it a 8.5 out of 10. I'm pretty satisfied as it had lots of stuff. Just some of the stuff will give me a creative stretch to use it but I do like challenges like that so I'm ok with it.

I am unimpressed and remind myself that warehouse boxes are left-overs that the manufacturer wants to get rid without a total loss.
There were 4 wooden embellishments; 2 stamp sets - one large from Simply Stated and one small from Happy Holidays; a set of rub ons from 2010;
3 packages of Be Different embellishment - bags, title pieces and frames - a blue/orange color range; 2 packs embellishments from True Friend - toppers and envelopes of colors - a turquoise/orange/grey color range, Summer Sun button mix; As You Wish brag cards -- a couple other packages
Paper -- a mix 8 sheet corragate, 4 "sticker fundamentals" (letter and letter tiles, designs and words) - nothing newer than 2014; a decent group of Me-ology and Everyday Circus ... mostly single page or two pages of other groups. Like someone said -- these will be B side uses
Upshot -- I'm not re-energized on Fancy Pants and I won't be looking for their products in the future ... and now I'm also wondering why I was looking for their products before buying this box because I thought I liked Fancy Pants!

I can so relate to that last part. I thought I loved FP, because there were a few lines that I used the heck out of. So maybe they're just hit or miss for me, but that doesn't them a good option for a warehouse box of random. Lesson learned. |

MIne had 50 sheets of paper (including 7 corrugated pieces) and 20 packs of embellishments that were primarily ephemera, but also 2 sets of ribbon (16 feet each), a rub on, washi tape, flair, and five sets of alphabets. I also received three transparencies. I got two boxes and both boxes were different.

Now that I have had time to thoroughly go through my new paper and embellishments… I am finding I got 4 ephemera packs of Oh Deer and two sheets of paper. (I bought two boxes.) There are several other lines that I have multiple sets of ephemera and very few pieces of paper. Going to have to go to my LSS and see if they have any of the lines. Most are from 2014, but one goes back as far as 2009.

I really love their older, bolder lines more than their latest. They tried to do the pastel thing and the new color combinations just haven't wowed me. ETA: I just realize the 6x6 pads may be newer lines than what are in the warehouse boxes. If you look around on the site, I think they still have some True Friend, Be Different, and Meology. |

I was googling for others who got the Fancy Pants box and came across this thread, so I'm new here but wanted to chime in.
My box was terrible. I got 2 lines from 2008 (Arctic Chill and The Daily Grind) plus Dancing Girl which I think is from either 2009 or 2010 (it was around when I first started scrapping in 2010). That's it as far as paper goes.
I got 10 packages of embellishments, none of which I'll use. Three large wood veneer phrases, two packages of cardstock frames (one from the Oh Deer line and one from the Be Different line), 1 package of cupcake toppers from the Nautical line, 1 package of envelopes from True Friend (these are the only thing I'm considering keeping), 1 package of decorative bags from Be Different, 1 roll of tickets from Oh Deer, and 1 package of decorative tags from Nautical.
I cannot believe they claimed this box to be worth over $100. Most of this stuff should've been donated instead of pawned off in warehouse boxes.

I got mine today and I don't know what to think! I love flair and the only flair I got was Christmas, which is not my jam. The paper is meh. A few are super cute and I wanted to use it right away, but the background color is cream (dirty cream?) so it doesn't jibe with my white PL cards. But that's okay, I'll work it in! No 6x6s. There was also a huge tangle of ribbon on top. Maybe I'll figure that out! I don't know their collections well enough to know how old they are and I'm certainly not interested enough to go looking  There were some giant wood veneers, which apparently adnerb doesn't like but I LOOOOVVVVEEE! So that's good for me! The next natural question post FP and BG boxes is what do I do with all of this junk now after I've pulled what I want? I don't have any friends that scrap. Should I try to sell it? Give it away? |

Perhaps we could post the things we don't want to keep and see if others on this thread would like to trade? I like most of what I got, but I got two boxes and the majority of it was Meology, ? Circus, and Swagger. I got a few sheets of Surfer Babe and would love more. I also got 4 packs of Oh, Deer and 2 sheets to go with it. Fortunately some of the lines do go with other lines.

That sounds like such a good idea! I am usually good with logistics but I have no idea how this would work out. Like the shipping is a wash because we're trading items? Any ideas? |

I went to Crafty Steals.com and found two paper packs that I got a bunch of embellishments for (but no paper). Maybe more people will post what they don't want on here and we can see if we have something to trade. |

Maybe this weekend I will organize my BG and FP warehouse box goodies into collections and take pics of the things I don't want to keep. I'll start a thread (if that's okay with the mods that it's not int FSOT?) and we can go from there. What do you think?

about the Basic Grey box, I am excited to get some more stuff! (As if I need it, haha!)
There were some giant wood veneers, which apparently
