I think I misspoke...I meant to say Spellbinders card kits have acrylic stamps, and Tonic's kits have photopolymer. Also, the autoship option is back on HSN.
I have given up on auto-ship on HSN. It was good, but the last few I signed up for were a disaster. I didn't receive the shipment many times. When I realized I had not received an auto-ship in some time I checked back on the original presentation to check out the time line. Then when I called HSN, I was informed they were sold out. I no longer sign up for auto-ship. I have been able to purchase missing sets now that they are on HSN but at a higher price than the auto-ship price. I am really getting turned off by HSN. I no longer watch the high pressure sales pitch on Craft Day. The shipping charges are ridiculous, they are always sold out of things, and you don't receive the auto ships you signed up for. They arrive hit or miss. You geet on but not another or maybe 2cin a row and not the next one, etc.
Will these fit in my Gemini Jr? I am new to this!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for allowing me to still participate even after my shipping mistake! 🤦🏾♀️ I hope that this will be the first of many swaps with you! You are an amazingly gracious host and I appreciate your kindness! Loved seeing all of the beautiful boxes, cards, and extras that the participants created! Thank you!🥰
Thx for showing the CC banner box. Good to hear all the feedback about it (good and bad). I liked the 2 additional swaps. Both were very cute!
Hello, you are so awesome. I love that you are truthful and nice even if somethings are not as advertised. It's so nice to have someone you can trust, so you are not disappointed when you get these items. I know I had to really think if I 'needed' the set or not. LOL I'm sure I'll enjoy having the sentiments. Thank your babies for sharing you with us. 😁
I’m disappointed in CC for not having honest marketing, I think there should be info on HSN in the product description NOW that states something like “originally shown as photopolymer, but stamps are actually high quality acrylic.” The swaps are beautiful and everyone did a great job. You got a generous gift, the Maker Forte picker. I immediately went to their website and ordered one for me. LOL. One end has the wax tool and the other end is a craft pick tool. I’m hoping you will host another swap soon. Your reveals are so entertaining and fun to watch!!! Please take care and keep well!
Wow can’t believe you receive your items so fast. I live in Florida- home of the HSN studios and I receive all items about a week after ordering. I know it’s shipped from Tennessee or somewhere so that’s why so long. I don’t think they have a warehouse here in Florida . Thanks for sharing - can’t wait to get mine to try out . I love being about the make so many and then chose where and when I need them . Love your videos!
I ordered at midnight and it’s processing. You are very special. The whole photopolymer thing is crazy. Thanks.
Awww, thanks so much! I have no idea how or why this got here so quickly...sometimes it will be two days (which is fast). This was next day delivery! LOL!! Happy to have it and get the reviews going. Enjoy your set!
😂🤣😂 oh you made me laugh, "...oh yeah that is very important isn't it". Um yes Sara it makes a difference. The only reason I went ahead and ordered them is bcuz Sara said that. It was a Nope until that point you showed on the video 🤣 oh well, it's all good. So you think she lied to us or just got confused ? I just assumed she got it confused with a different product. But I didn't know it happened before. Yikes. I'm just going to call CS when I get them and ask for free return shipping since it was misrepresented. It would have been a fabulous set if they were Photopolymer. I just don't want to mess with acrylic when I don't have to. There's so many other options out there for us 😃 Thank you for such a great review and keeping it real 😃
Oh I can see in your video they are not Photopolymer by the edges. Photopolymer stamps don't have the squared/mitered edges. Photopolymer edges kinda look like the material melted down on the edge. I don't know how to explain it but you'll see it when you compare acrylic and Photopolymer. Obviously, the smell is the biggest indicator, then the sturdiness, they stay "sticky", and the "melted edge" thing 😆
Thank you for the information and Beautiful Swaps for Easter..Always Great To Hear From You!! Have a Beautiful Blessed Day
Thank you so much, Shenna! I hope you are doing well today!
What a great swap. I’ve got to join one, tfs
You should! TYSM!
Thanks for giving us a preview of the CC Sentiment Banner Stamps & Dies. I’m undecided but will make a decision by the time I receive them. Will check out your full review tomorrow. Thanks again.
I love your honesty! You crack me up Vianney! BTW, notice how the video for the CC Today's Special presentation is no longer on the website? Hmmmm, my guess is they had to CYA due to the misrepresentation of the stamps. Lol
Oh, wow. I hadn't noticed that. Well, I guess that's better for the folks buying it going forward. TYSM!!! (:
Thanks for doing this CC review, Vianney. I appreciate that you always keep it real. 💕
That is so kind, thank you!
I knew when she said photopolymer it was a mistake but I bought it anyway because I really like stamping all those sentiments at once especially for putting in those card kits you taught us to make. I’m making 40 of them for womens day at church. How did you get yours so quick? Mine has not even shipped yet. Anyway thanks for reviewing.
I wish they would be upfront with which material they are. Thanks for reviewing this.
Right? I don't understand why not just say what they are.
Your cutting plates from your diecutting machines work great if you need a large stamping block! 😉
True! I don't see that much different than leaving them on the carrier and using your hand to smooth over it...same thing, just upside down. (: TY!
Thank you for the preview of the TS. I did order the autoship, but hasn't come yet, shows "still in packaging". Course, I'm way over on the East coast, so it may take much longer for me to get. Beautiful swaps as well. Some real good creators and thinkers out there. Be well, be safe & TYFS
Thank You! I cancelled mine when found out it’s acrylic.
You see? I totally understand that. The value is much lower with acrylic, it feels the "photopolymer" wording being thrown out there was intentional (IMO). Not great.
Oh no 🙈 now I’m regretting not getting it I was confused 😐 I didn’t know it came with stamps already I thought those were the auto ships already included as an Example omg 😱 that would be a good idea for the ephemera folder swap as someone else mentioned in the chat🤩🤩🤩
Really like the CC box, the swap cases are really cute and well done.
Thanks so much! 😊
Vianney you are very kind in choosing your words. I have tons of CC items that a will continue to use, especially my Ultimate. However I rarely buy CC products anymore and yet I’ll be a platinum member for several years to come, lol.
Thank you so very much! LOL! I hear you on that, I have like lifetime Platinum based on how I used to shop. Love their papers and dies. I just don't understand why misrepresent these, pretty much everyone who has commented has said they thought they would be photopolymer. It's not right.
So thankful for you ! Thank you for sharing with us!
You bet! That is so kind! TY!
I have that exact tool and love it. It should have a pokey tool at other end and the wax tips are replaceable and come in many colors!
What brand is that pokey tool and where can I get one please?
@@lisascorner2961 , Maker Forte. I love mine!
@@debijohnson7312 thank you!
Hi Vianney; Just got finished watching your review on the CC Sentiment Banner set where Sara stated they were polymer stamps. However, when you showed your iPhone regarding what she said, the info on future AS says "Includes ----- clear acrylic stamps". Interesting, so what's the deal?
Morning Vianney, ooooh the photopolymer story is so disappointing. It was a big reason I made the purchase. I will rethink the auto delivery thanks for sharing……I may have been fooled.
Right? She didn't have to say anything about it or at least say they were a good quality acrylic. No joke, when I tuned in it was right at her saying they were photopolymer, and she says it a few times. Maybe I'll do the same as fas as auto deliveries. TYSM!
I heard her say that too. I’m still thinking about buying it.
At the very least, they are a good acrylic...she could have just said that. (: The autoship option is now back, too...I have the links there in the description box. TY!
Thanks for showing this. I hadn’t purchased it but I think I might. It looks very cool. TYSM
It is cool! They seem to work well, I will do more of a review today. (:
Aren’t Close to my Heart stamps acrylic? I know I’ve always liked those. Are silicone the ones that do not stamp well-like Anna Griffin’s, which are difficult to stamp without priming first?
CTMH are photopolymer, they used to be red rubber...then they went to photopolymer. Never acrylic...although the line is/was called My Acrylix. LOL! Anna's are super soft, generally they are just called "acrylic." Not sure if that would include silicone as the main component...definitely some kind of polymer.
@@VianneyCreates Oh, ok! That’s so confusing that CTMH calls their stamps My Acrylix sets!
Thanks for the reply! I’m supposed to receive my TS today and also that beautiful Hummingbird collection.🥰
I needed another collection like we needed more snow in the Midwest!😂
Thank you for your review or at least a previous of this product; I was not sure about the quality either; anyway I got the info of Lori McNair, I just sent her an email. Thank you!
Yay! I hope Lori can get some help destashing to folk who would actually use the items! TYSM, Toni!
Thank you so much for the review and I would like to know if you purchased the Anna Griffin stamp and die Banner set and if you did, can you do a comparison video because I read a lot of not so good reviews on HSN about Anna Griffin's stamps in her stamp and die Banner set.
Girl! You know I did, LOL! The review is here: ua-cam.com/video/J_qwouKggZ4/v-deo.html
I purchased the verses stamp sets that were on auto delivery and I love all the different sentiments and the binder you put them in but I do think it is hard to get a good image with them…..I’ve used them but I use a platform and have to stamp them multiple times…..that’s why I chose not to purchase this TS.
Thanks for sharing your experience, mine was (is) similar with those.
Also I think these being one big sheet of stamps will even be harder to stamp and get good image.
@@VianneyCreates @s
Thank You!
TYSM!!
She confused me as well. She said photopolymer.
I ordered it too, but I don’t have your nose for photopolymer. I have similar sets from Stampin Up and from LDRS.
LOL! Maybe that's a good thing bc some photopolymer sets can have a strong scent....although I enjoy it! (: It's also the feel of the stamps. Luckily these are a thicker feeling acrylic, but acrylic nonetheless. TYSM, Lynne!
Thank you so much for your honest and professional explanations. I really appreciate truth.
I am livid about the lie Sara Davies told about the “polymer” stamps.
An out and out lie!!
This is a woman who can tell you when the grass grows and sadly her down to
Earth appeal is gone and she has gone down the rabbit hole that money, ambition and greed can take soMe people. She is very calculating. Shame on her.
I am returning the TSV or canceling and emailing CC.
I know, it's hard not to feel that way. I think emailing CC and HSN is a really good thing to do. I know some people cancelled when they realized, some had no idea still and will now return them, and others will keep them. I feel like we still need to let them know it's not okay. Thanks for sharing your feedback with all of us. (:
@@VianneyCreates Thank you. I have calmed down but was more upset that she seemed to think it was “ok” to say that to very loyal customers. So disappointed.
I did email because as you said so well, it is not okay.
Lol I saw the video of the handle breaking on that machine it has been through a lot lol 😂
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
Yeah that's disappointing I've notice that everytime I buy from crafters companion I usually end up returning them... so now I don't even bother buying from them anymore ...
I totally understand. Sometimes, I pick things up for UA-cam content more than anything. I was looking forward to these, it would have been a huge plus had they been photopolymer as Sara advertised...but I had a feeling they weren't going to be.
Ok, CC is not my favorite go to on craft days, with that being said, I thought that perhaps when they initially put this set together, they may have discussed doing this set in photo polymer but ended up changing, which Sara would know, but we also need to keep in mind that this was a 24 hour craft day, with the amount of products being shown, the lack of sleep and trying to keep the facts straight may have come into play. It takes a lot to prepare for one of these days, I guess I just say this because I'm glad I'm not doing what Sara does and because people sometimes mess up.
That's a very generous way to look at it, and perhaps that's what happened. However, she has presented some of the other verse stamp sets as photopolymer before, and they also were not. It just seems "typical" now, I never expect that they actually are photopolymer. This time around it seems that a lot of people were misled, and that's too bad.
Lawn fawn is photopolymer and to be honest that is the only brand that Im really happy with yes I love after crafters companion but I don’t get a good image when I stamp with their stamps😬😬😬😱😱😱I wish hsn would get lawn fawn products…. You can tell that they are clear acrylic stamps because there so floppy just by the way she holds it in her hand I’m out that’s why I didn’t get it. Good luck y’all.
Vianney is the binder the style of the AYOC?
Similar. I can bring it down to compare. Getting ready to make the more full review video right now. (:
“Wait until you sniff it” LoL...sorry but I didn’t order this. Thanks for sharing🤗
I don’t know what’s going on but the misspeaking is the second craft day in a row. I didn’t order the CC mystery Signature bag but if you look at the reviews for the Signature mystery bag in particular have many angry reviews because she specifically said all Signature bags would come a wax seal kit (I saw and heard her say that as well) which is why so many people bought it but none of the bags came with it 🤷🏻♀️. Obviously she has a large company and has people who write her scripts but maybe that’s where the breakdown is happening; either way she is ultimately responsible for accurate product descriptions. I’m a fan of her company but lately it is frustrating there’s so many issues.
That’s what happened to me with the last US warehouse sale. Presenter Ben said “everybody” would get a free magazine with their order. I even asked that during the “live” because I missed it and people on the live said Ben just mentioned the free magazine. So several people confirmed it. Well, you have to know where this is going. No free magazine. I called the US customer service and I told the girl about the live info. I said that company lies. I was surprised she agreed with me. Gave me a $20 credit which is still sitting there. I never made it to the highest level of discount. I also only buy the US Warehouse sales. But, very hesitant. Because I know I am always disappointed when I receive my order. Sorry for the rambling, but this still bothers me.
What bothers me, is she is not ignorant on this topic. No way can you run a paper crafting company and not know the difference and why the difference is so important to crafters. I feel it's intentional...I can pull up the last verse stamp compendiums where she says they are photopolymer when they clearly aren't (the last two big verse sets she put out, same thing). It makes for a lot of distrust and ill feelings, I just don't understand it. TY for sharing your feedback.
Vianney, love watching your videos and keeping it real. I might not look at all of them but thoroughly enjoy the ones I do check out. Going through periods where I don’t watch anybodies videos.
💜💙💛
You know what’s funny is as she was loudly saying photo polymer, the writing in hsn’s description on the screen says acrylic. Big as sh.., lol
Yeah, I noticed that when I was editing! Geez!! LOL! Thanks so much, Elizabeth!
You know what they say….if it doesn’t pass the sniff test….🤣. Lol. But yes, unfortunately for me, it is always buyer beware with CC. I have to weigh my risk/reward comfort when ordering.
Unfortunately, I began realizing the same just over a year ago! TYSM, Lisa!
She lied. Shame on Sara. It show a lack of respect for her customers. Greedy.
Thanks for sharing your feeling on it. I just don't understand why not say that they are "excellent quality acrylic" or something like that? I know after her saying they are photopolymer...in our mind that is where the value is...so it gets more people to buy. It's not right.
