The exclusive products sound interesting. I buy so much Echo Park/Carta Bella that the rest of the kits may be stuff I already bought. But then again if you are in their kit club you probably would wait to buy their collections until you see what's in your kits? Here's a link to it: Club EP |

I was just coming to share. It looks like a lot for the price. I won't be partaking since I'm mainly digital right now, but otherwise, I'd have to consider it.

I was curious about what shipping would cost to Canada. I clicked on the "single kit" (for $35 US) and then on "estimate shipping". The shipping came out to $17 US for slowest shipping. Don't think I will be signing up, but I DO love EP.

I would love a kit from them, BUT I rarely buy their feminine collections. For that reason, I'm not tempted to be a regular subscriber.
ETA: The May 2019 kit is already a pass. It does seem like an awesome value, especially with the stamps. I would be willing to pay $5.00 more for a kit that I do like.

I actually am tempted, but am super curious about the 21 designs on double sided paper.
Seems like a good value, especially since it includes shipping.

Looks awesome. I can't get an international shipping quote- It keeps telling me free shipping-but I can guess it is not!

While I defiantly think its a good value - I am a hard pass. I don't use a bunch of feminine products and am better at picking/choosing what I like. THOUGH - if the 3x4 cards came cut apart, I could be temped. But since they don't, I won't. I hate cutting down those sheets.

I don't use a bunch of feminine products I don't either but I've learnt through the years that while I don't necessarily reach for certain styles/colours etc...in the store, if I end up with it via a collection or a hand-me-down from someone else or a kit, I usually end up using it and it pushes me to be a little more creative. Everyone's different though and it sounds like you've got a good handle on what works for you. |

The only cost effective way would be to get it sent to a Youshop address in Oregon kiwikate, and then to have it sent on. |

I subscribed cause I love EP and Carta Bella designs. I do use a lot of the girly themes and flowers. And I love the ephemera but I'm too cheap to pay five and six bucks for it.  |

Definitely appears to be a good value. I really like EP/CB, but I don’t use pink/florals, so the current kit is a pass. I’ll certainly keep my eye out for more boyish colors/designs. I don’t know why anyone would buy a single kit vs subbing and then canceling - there doesn’t appear to be a cancellation fee or minimum sub length that I could tell.

I love EP and Carta Bella, but since I'm currently hoarding scrap stuff and not using it, 21 sheets of paper (6 times a year) would start to add up. I guess if actually scrapbooked and didn't just fondle my supplies, only scrapped with the kit, and didn't buy anything else at all, maybe the scrap hoard would stay manageable... So tempting!
Wait, maybe I could realize my dream of wallpapering my entire house in scrapbook paper...

I'm always nervous to sign up for a kit sub because I don't want to get stuck with a bunch of holiday or vintage or theme collections that I'll never use, or papers with cream backgrounds.
I loved Spring Market and Welcome Home, but a lot of their other offerings might be hard for me to use.

I LOVE EP - but this is way too much product for me to sub to. I'd prefer about half that kit or less at about half the price. I am currently cutting down my stash and selling like crazy. I love this idea though and don't know why it took so long. Real supplies delivered monthly - yes!

Not impressed. If they weren't pulling stuff from existing collections and then adding product, it would be more exciting. Even if they themed the products to go with an existing line (with the actual collection pack as an add-on purchase option or something like that) but made it 100% exclusive, it would be significantly more tempting. As it is, the bulk of the kit is available at retail, so it doesn't tempt me in the least. Maybe I'm hard to please, lol. I do like EP, but I shop their sales, so the idea of paying for retail available product isn't appealing to me at all.
ETA: I also commented on their announcement post given how pink heavy this is that it would be nice to have an option for a masculine or feminine kit because I strongly dislike the current kit.

I loved Spring Market and Welcome Home, but a lot of their other offerings might be hard for me to use. Me too. I did get the pinkfresh warehouse box but there is a portion of it that I will work to use. The Christmas part. I rarely if ever scrap christmas. BUT this was a one time purchase, times right at a time where I had a bit of money and it has so much I will use, have already started using. I can’t do that every other month. I’d rather my scrapping budget go to my local store. Maybe one day I’ll take the plunge on a kit. But today is not that day. That said the kit is beautiful and is priced well for what is in the May kit. |

That's a really pretty kit, but I have two boys and not a lot of use for such a feminine kit.

I like the kit and I'm going to try the subscription since you can cancel at any time. I also like that it is only 6 times a year.

TFS!!! Happy to see another option. Wish they'd hit my demo a bit more (less florals, more "work-y") but maybe they will once in a while.

I bit the bullet and subscribed - now I need to scrap enough before it arrives to make space for it

As with many clubs, you get shop discounts. One off kit purchases won't include that. Seems to be a common perk. |

I’m so tempted. I’ve been wanting to subscribe to a kit club and love EP/CB. I will probably bite the bullet.

If you were tempted and on the fence, I see the kit is on sale now for $26.99.
Which kinda pisses me off a tad. Seriously EP? You don't even mail the first kit to me and you're offering it on sale now?
I know it's just three dollars, but it's the idea that they JUST offered this kit. And it's on sale already.
Makes me rethink subbing.
I emailed them and told them I think that's a bit crappy.

And I may just be a bit grouchy as it's the butt crack of dawn on a Saturday and I've been awake for two hours already. Feel free to ignore my grump post. |
