I stumbled on this card kit at ScrappingforLess.
Holy cow - what a great deal??!?!? Does anyone subscribe?
What will be in the kit? Each month you will receive a box with all of your ingredients specially wrapped and protected inside. Now for the delicious details: You will receive 4 different collections of 6x6 paper, a stamp to accompany each collection, and 8 pieces of 8.5x11 cardstock...4 colors that coordinate with all of the collections, 4 white pieces of paper, and 4 A2 size envelopes. An example of what this will look like: (keep in mind the brands will change each month but the kind of ingredients will remain the same)
Collection 1: Doodlebug Design 6 sheets of 6x6 paper plus a stamp from jillibean soup
Collection 2: Lawn Fawn 6 sheets of 6x6 paper plus a stamp from Deep Red
Collection 3: Echo Park 6 sheets of 6x6 paper plus a stamp from Stampendous
Collection4: Pebbles 6 sheets of 6x6 paper plus a stamp from Prickly Pear AND8 pieces of 8.5x11 card stock 4 in white and 4 different colors that will go with the collections PLUS4 A2 size envelopes.
Subscription:$20 per month Month to Month: $25
Seems too good to be true.

That does sound like a good deal. Keep in mind that 6 sheets of 6x6 paper equals (in size) one and a half 12x12 sheets. So you'd be getting the equivalent of 6 12x12 sheets, and the cardstock is only 8.5x11. And judging by the photos, the stamps look like they're 3x4 and 2x3.
They look really cute, and it also looks like there are 3-4 different themes in each kit. Great find, @zingermack!

Eight pieces of cardstock is actually enough for 16 A2 card bases. But that price is JUST paper and stamps, no embellishments, and looking at this month's stamps, at least two of those brands of stamps are not super great. Costwise, it's basically one paper pad (24 sheets, $6-7), some cardstock and envelopes ($5 max), and the stamps. Now, that MFT stamp is $9 retail! But that bicycle one is $1.50. So this kit probably retails about $30-35, and so can be assembled wholesale for about $15, maybe less depending on if they get some discounts. I doubt it's a huge money maker-- I bet they make it up in the a la carte add ons.
