I passed on this. This would be nice for someone just getting into card making. I feel now-a-days you can find most layout ideas for card making on the Internet or Pinterest. It’s a great idea…….🙋🏻♀️❤️ (Lately I’m having a hard time with Sara’s selling tactics….For example: her statement on the CC Advent Calendar……. “We are the only people in the World that do a crafting Advent Calendar for paper crafting enthusiasts, literally the only people!”)
Agreed! I think Sara is trying to cater to new customers and build up her base. Get it for business but a little disturbed with the aggressive selling. Sad to see the change. I did see Sizzix and Spellbinders as new upcoming co.🎉. And love Stamps by Me❤️.
I was waiting on this comment. Or when she said they are the only company that makes embossing folders that emboss a die cut image. I had to stop watching after that.
You are always so positive even when you get a product that may be damaged! 😊 I also like how you always figure out a solution which helps all of us who ordered the product. Another wonderful video!
I just got this box from craft day as a secret sale item for $70. I didn't care about the layout pages I was interested in all the concentric dies! I have very few of those and they are expensive to purchase so I feel I got my money's worth just with the dies. The cardstock is very nice and you can never have too much cardstock...... the stamps and embossing folders are generic enough for everyday cards, birthdays, feel better soon, things like that... over all I feel I'll get lots of use from these items.
THANK YOU for figuring out the binder, inset to return it because I thought it was broken. My binder came open like yours…excellent video and now I am a NEW SUBSCRIBER TO YOUR CHANNEL!
Oh, wow!! That is so awesome, I figured if this happened to me...it may have happened to others. This kind of comment really makes me feel great, thanks for the kind words!!
Thank you so much for showing how to fix the binder. If mine comes in like your then thanks to you I will know how to fix it. I can not wait for your tutorials. Have a great day.
It would have been nice to have something like this when I first started card making. I did not buy too much this craft day as I had bought two boxes of the CC Special Papers last craft day and ordered a box sent to my best friend in San Diego as an early Christmas present, so that blew my budget! Happy though that I bought those as they are gorgeous, single- sided and great for layering.
I kept talking myself into then out of getting this… finally went for it. Yes, layouts can be found online, and you may already own similar shape, edge, label and tag, etc. dies, but many times they aren’t sized quite right to work in proper proportion for a ‘found’ layout. This was the selling point that tipped the scale because I’ve had this happen more than once… Also, I feel like I spend inordinate amounts of time rummaging through my stash searching for what might work. The recipe ‘kit’ should be a time and frustration saver. Looking forward to receiving mine.
Thank you for sharing especially how the binder mechanism is supposed to work. I would have returned it thinking it was defective. Still waiting for mine to arrive. Hopefully this weekend. Thank you.
I have Becky Higgins sketchbook sold back I. The day…dating myself. 😂 It’s amazing. Beth Kingston has been having sketch challenges every month- a great gal to support . Tk u for your honest reviews.
Thanks for the unboxing. Looking forward to getting mine. Can never have too many dies or stamps, right? LOL. Looking forward to seeing what you make using a recipe template.
This is a similar concept to the Compendium Card Kit we all bought a few years ago. Great for beginners for sure. I still barely used that kit. I had that same problem with that binder when I got a Craft Club kit. The binder was unhooked and It took me forever to figure out how to fix it. The binder is cool looking but I'm careful when I open it now. I stopped getting the Craft Club kit when it started getting too much like to old box kits. I'm such a sucker for these types of kits just because you get so much product with it, but I'm over it now. LOL!
That's really nice I ordered some mystery boxes from crafters companion I got one and the other one will be here in a couple of weeks. Plus I got other items that they had for sale.
I didn’t order it because I wasn’t impressed with the cards it created. I would have bought it if the cards were more extravagant looking. I do need layout help. I did like that it came with some decent dies.
Oh yikes I remember Sara saying you aren’t supposed to close it by hand. Maybe you figure it out by the end of the video 😂I should finish watching 😂 oh I love that Rick rack die! Looks like a great set. I passed on it bcuz I have all those dies but it’s perfect to use for weekly videos huh ? The Secret sale really busted my willpower 😂
Wow, if you are a newbie, this would be great!! I like I think a lot of folks fumbled around buying things, a lot of things that we never use. This would have been nice. My mom had something from Memory Keepers that showed layouts. That was back, hmm, 2005 maybe 2006? She has passed, and now I have a couple of her pieces from them. Happy you figured out the notebook!!
It's not the opening of it...but the closing. At the end of the video I show how it arrived with the lever bar under the u shaped bar...it needed to be over it. TY!
That’s a nice collection but I already have most of those shapes. I’d never buy another Crafters Companion auto ship because in the past they haven’t followed through sending them all, canceling on their end. That’s not very nice.

That's so great! So true about all the initial dies one receives! Enjoy your box!!
thanks so much for figuring out the binder system, I did the same thing you did and could not see what was going on. Awesome
So glad I could help!! TYSM!
Thanks so much for showing me how to fix the binder closure. I don’t think I would have figured that one out on my own!
Glad I could help! TY!
I received mine too! So much fun. Thank you for showing me how to the binder together 😂😂 I look forward to seeing you tutorial on this.
THANK YOU for figuring out the binder, inset to return it because I thought it was broken. My binder came open like yours…excellent video and now I am a NEW SUBSCRIBER TO YOUR CHANNEL!
Thanks for troubleshooting I was on hold with HSN to return back 😊

Fun unboxing. Glad you figured out the binder. The recipe cards sound like a great addition to your stash!
I can’t wait for your tutorial videos for this collection!
Yay! Thank you! Coming soon. (:

Great tutorial for the unboxing and how to work the binder clip.
Glad it was helpful! TY!

I'm glad that info helped/may help. I really didn't want to have to return it. HSN won't honor auto ships for exchanges...just refund. /:
Glad you figured it out lol on hsn she literally opens and closes the binder with one finger 😅😊
Yes… if the bar arrives in the right position! Lol! I’m glad that I was able to figure it out because lotta people said they had that same problem.
Mine only had 5 die sets, I had to contact Customer Service and get a replacement sent, hope it will come soon..
I have Becky Higgins sketchbook sold back I. The day…dating myself. 😂
It’s amazing.

Tk u for your honest reviews.
That is awesome! I love my old "recipe" books, too! TY!
I almost got it. Love having layout designs

Some here, Pam! I need to see how many AS will be associated with this, I assume it ends at a year bc the binder only has so much space. Hmmm...
aren’t these layouts free online
That's really nice I ordered some mystery boxes from crafters companion I got one and the other one will be here in a couple of weeks. Plus I got other items that they had for sale.
Easter eggs color. I have this AS.
Add my thanks for the binder solution. I have one for the craft kits and thought I broke it! I could not figure it out.
Glad I could help! It's a weird little contraption, but works pretty well once it's int he right positioning! LOL!! TYSM!
I didn’t order it because I wasn’t impressed with the cards it created. I would have bought it if the cards were more extravagant looking. I do need layout help. I did like that it came with some decent dies.
Just wander how much was all that?
I think when it was a Today's Special, it was $100...but they initially asked $130.

Sara demonstrates how to open the binder in her HSN demo. I hope that helps!

@@VianneyCreatesthis was one reason of many that I did not get this
