Thoughts ????

$30-$45 a month sounds like a lot of $ for 6 cards.

[cindi]

kinda neat!! I wouldn't want one every month, but one every now & then would be fun.
It's a cool link!

Em has a new stamp for all you golfers. She's called "TEEOFFABELLA". That's it, I'm having my pay cheque deposited straight into Em's bank account and my purchases will be considered 'withdrawals'.

I believe it's a Canadian site, so your $30 - $45 will go further! :rolleyes:

I'm getting a pop up from my security software that says this could be a phishing site. I also think the price is too steep. You get supplies to make 6 cards and one $5 stamp. That makes each card more than $4. I think I'll pass.

I saw that (I have her blog in my favorites and read it every day). I thought it was a cute idea (and a good way to get the Bellas) until I saw the price. Even CDN thats pretty steep! And Id rather save the money that Id pay on that and put it toward more Bellas than acquire more paper to sit around :D
Also passing.

Besides, don't most of us already have most of the Bella stamps? So we'd be getting duplicates in the Paper Pretties box. I think I'll just stick with buying my own Bellas.

This is what I thought but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something very important. HA

The site mentions that it is the first site to offer card kits delivered. My SOTM club has been doing this internationally for years...I pay around $10/month (Including shipping) for wood mounted stamps and goods to make 4 cards.

[iloveflipflops]

$10 a month is much more reasonable to me :)

[tojoco]

Sherri, is it $10 a month? Or are you just wishing?

[iloveflipflops]

No. Julie just posted her club does this same thing for $10 a month. I said that is alot better than $30 or whatever it was ...

[AmyR]

Wow - that is WAY too much $$ - I'd rather buy a Bella stamp myself (they're like what 5.50 each??) and use my own supplies for a *fraction* of the cost!!!

[AmyR]

Huh my post disappeard!! Anywho I went and looked and WOW that is a LOT of $$ for ONE unmounted stamp and stuff for 5 or 6 cards!! Plus you have to pay shipping and handling on top of it AND an activation fee??

I think I'll just stick to ordering my bellas from Stamping Bella herself!

[kerry]

It's neat but they aren't the first to do this. I've been a member of Club Stamp for a long time and they do a card kit option. I like the stamper's project though, so that's what I get.

Oh, with Club Stamp, you get a whole SHEET of UM if you sign up for it and also one or two limited edition hand numbered mounted stamps depending on the kit that month.

And... They too ship all over the world!

Yeah I saw that too saying that their idea was unique and was like HUH?? Almost every online store I've been to has a monthly kit!!

And the fees are in US DOLLARS...??????? I just don't understand why you have to pay THAT much for them??

[GrammaStamper]

Em, the Bella, is not involved with this site. I e-mailed her and asked. Below is her response.

thanks so much for watching out for me.. Yes, I know Christie but we are not affilitated in any which way! I would like to learn more about the 'phishing' site though.. I don't think she is up and running yet and perhaps that is why that message comes up?

Thank you though and anytime you see something fishy, please let me know!
p.s. your comment earlier was HILARIOUS!!
Em

That is interesting. It sounds like a great idea but I think they are asking way to much money! $30 a month plus shipping, that just sounds crazy.
