I really like this in person. The specialty papers are pretty. There are no hearts on them so it will be more versatile. Personally I like the fancy font. With ingenuity and imagination combining with other stamps you have in your stash, you can make this work for other occasions.   I can’t wait to see the YouTube gals do in there 1 kit 10 cards. |

I'm really excited to get mine. I'm thinking of making some cards to sell at my office. I also ordered the bird stamp add-on which looks very cute.

Mine arrived today. I got a dud stamp so my using it is on hold. The paper and things do look better in person, but it still feels really cheap to me. My stamps don't even feel Hero Arts regular quality. Really hoping it's just a bad one in the bunch and no some change to the manufacturing process

I got mine today, too, but haven't tried it out yet. I hope they haven't changed their quality. |

Mine are an obnoxious hot pink. I was wondering if they were supposed to be part of the kit, since they aren't on the previews. If we have different colors, I'm guessing they're just a little extra thank you type of thing. |

Maybe they ran out of the light pink and had to substitute. Call customer service. I went back and checked, they aren't on the kit list, and they aren't wrapped inside the tissue, they're on the outside with the thank you card. I didn't like the color I got and will probably toss them in the donate box, but I really think they're just a little extra gift type of thing. I hate to complain and have them stop putting them in.  I might get a much better color some other time, and it's not like I was expecting them, anyway. Thanks, though!

The pearls sound like the freebies I've gotten with my hero arts orders.

 MVIMG_20180116_174709 by Ann Tomaschik, on Flickr The v area of my solid love stamp wasn't cut right. It barely came off the back of the stamp compared to the other letters. Emailed Hero Arts last night. And they've already put a new one in the mail to me so I should have it this weekend to get my blog post up. Tried it first with the navy ink in the kit using my TH platform. Then Versamark with and without the platform on different types of paper. |

Wow. I got mine yesterday, I guess I should try it this weekend.
Could it be because the stamp is so big?

They replied to my email first thing yesterday and the replacement came today. The new one works perfectly. Comparing the two it's clear that the first one just didn't get enough polymer (or whatever it is that fills a stamp mold)
I've already started work on my first card from the kit using the love stamp with my TH press.
