Simon Says Stamp Monthly Kit

Not a stamp and die I would ever want to use and the whole kit feels skimpy and flat.

I haven't been happy with the kit since last year! I did get the June kit because I like the stamp and was hoping it would help get my mojo back.

August is up.

Again, this kit is not for me. That stamp is not something I could ever see myself using. Plus I already have the Oxide ink. I like the Pinkfresh paper and puffy stickers, though.

Here's hoping for some cute fall and holiday kits coming up next time. It seems like the only kits that are really popular with them are the Doodlebug and other "kid critter" kits, but I've had enough of those.

I have a SSS frame die and a couple of other items in my cart that I'll buy instead of the kit.

I thought it looked better than the last couple but still nothing that's really wowing me.

Another kit I'm passing on. I think I've gotten one kit in the last six months or so. I'm just so disappointed, I used to get the kit almost every month.

I liked this one a lot.

I skipped this one. I already made my holiday cards and the stamps are too Christmasy for me. I’m Jewish. I do make Xmas cards for other people but I like them to be more neutral.

I think it's cute, but maybe a little too cute. I passed also.

Overly cute and also boring contents.

I agree with the bolded statement.  

And I would love it if you could purchase a bundled set of stamp and die at a discount.  Instead of $15 for stamp and $20 for die, sell the set for $30 or $32 or whatever.  I think some companies do this - Hero Arts, Altenew, The Stamp Market are three that come to mind.

The March kit is up. I’m really loving this one. Vicki P and Yana S both have good videos making cards for this one.

I'm such a sucker for being inspired by Vicki P. I almost bought the kit last night because I liked the quick cards that Vicki made, especially the one with the tools coming out of the circle. And looking at the kit, it seems like such good value with two stamps. I made lots of lovely cards with the Kind Flowers one they did which had a similar look.

But then I pulled myself back. I had just spent the day stamping with Waffle Flower enveloper stamps, and man, I love those images. They never fail to make me smile. Looking again at the bunny (yeah, nope) and boot (meh), the gingham and ribbon stamps are cool, and they seem pretty useful (some other people had made nice cards with them) and the splashing duck makes me smile, but I think I need to stick to my style. And I need something with better sentiments that are more like what I send cards for. I'm still a little bit tempted though... Darn, Vicki!

This is why I wasn't so upset that Vicki said she was going to stop the SSS videos. As much as I love watching her card making, she's too good at selling me stuff I don't need.

This is the first kit I've bought. I liked having two stamp sets and there was quite a bit I liked across the two sets. There were also several things in the kit I wanted to check out. I've never tried SSS inks, cardstock or envelopes, I've never seen Neenah Desert Storm cardstock in person, and I wanted to try the Tonic Shimmer Pen.

I usually watch the Vicki videos, but they've never convinced me to buy. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does now that I've bought this kit, though.
