Story Kit™ & Story Stamp™ | Fun
Hey friends!
In the Story Classroom this month we are focusing on stories related to the word Fun. Last month we changed up our kit pages and each subscription now has it's own shop page that you can check out here: Story Kit™, Story Stamp™, and Digital Story Kit™ (there are links to each one at the bottom of each page). As a subscriber you also have kit pages for each of your subscriptions located under your User Name in the top right corner of the page (this is where you go to select any Add-On purchases to be shipped with your box between now and June 14th at 11:59PM Eastern).
Here are a few thoughts about this particular theme:
Because we’ve had fun yesterdays and fun today's and we’ll have fun tomorrows. Because we could all use a little more fun and light-heartedness in our lives.
Initial story ideas for the Fun theme include:
-
What do you like to do for fun these days and who do you do it with? Also, what was fun for you as a child?
-
Do you consider yourself a “fun” or a “not fun” person? How does this work play in your life?
-
When you think back on your life, what is your most fun memory?
NEW ADD-ON OPTION FOR SUBSCRIBERS
Last month we introduced a new option for subscribers to to purchase from a limited selection of Add-On products and have those shipped with your monthly subscription. Between the 13th at 12:00am Eastern and the 14th at 12:59pm Eastern, subscribers can add these products to their boxes at no additional shipping cost. Check out our 2017 Subscription Update page here for more details. Depending on product availability subscribers may be able to purchase the Add-On's after the Add-On period has ended and regular shop shipping rates will apply because they will ship separately from the kit.
If you are a current Subscriber you can select + purchase Add-On's via your new drop-down menu access under your user name in the top right corner of the site. If you subscribe to more than one you will have a Box for each subscription and the ability to purchase Add-On's for each one.
If you are new to the Story Subscription program, check out all the details here.
If you are already a subscriber the content in the classroom will be available to you on the 15th just as in the past.
Here's a look at the Story Kit™ contents for Fun (the kit is currently sold out - please join the waitlist to gain access to future kits):
Here are the optional Add-Ons for subscribers of the Fun Story Kit™ theme. Two of these products are exclusive to subscribers at this time (but may be added to the shop in the future) and the other is from the shop. Some months we will have only new theme-based products as part of the Add-On selection and other months we might include a staple item from the shop.
Here's a video overview of the Story Kit™ and Add-On options this month:
The Fun Story Stamp™:
The Story Stamp™ will also have Add-On options available to subscribers. In the coming months we will introduce Add-On products that differ from what we are offering to Story Kit™ subscribers but for the first couple of months they will be similar, with the addition of a full-size Crafter's Ink option.
Here's a video overview of the Story Stamp™ and Add-On options this month:
We also have a Digital Story Kit™ subscription available that includes access to the classroom content. Your digital kit and the classroom and any Add-Ons purchased will be available to you on the 15th once your card has been charged for the month. Here's a look at what's included for Brave (which also shows all the designs for the journal cards included in the printed version of the kit):
Digital Story Kit™ subscribers also have five Add-On options available (if you subscribe to both the Story Kit™ and the Story Stamp™ these should also be available to you for purchase):
And a couple peeks at the layouts I created with the kits this month in addition to the one featured at the top of this post ( full details, including process videos and how-to handout, are included with subscription):
Again, thanks so much for subscribing and/or considering my Story Subscription program! If you have any questions about this program please let me know below in the comments.
Looking forward to getting this one! Those polka dot alphas are great!

OMG this one is fabulous and definitely versatile! You are definitely a little tease though Ali Edwards or should I say Katie?! I was hoping for star confetti like you show in your promo shot! you need stars in your shop!!!!
Those are awesome old ones from a past December Daily® :).
Hi Ali...do you remember which past DD kit it was? I'm wondering if I already have them...
Thanks!
Also super excited for this FUN kit.
You know, I don't - but I think it was like 2013 or 2014 (maybe even earlier).

Ok, I generally avoid leaving negative comments but I am slightly annoyed that I didn't get an email regarding customizing my kit(s), and now an item (tab stickers) I want is sold out. What's up with that?
On a more positive note, this kit looks awesome.
Ah man! Emails went out right around 9pm Pacific last night. Have you checked your spam or junk or promotions folder to see if it landed there - sometimes that happens. You can also always count on the new kit being released on the 13th of the month at midnight Eastern/9pm Pacific. Also if not receiving emails is becoming a regular occurrence for you I'd invite you to start a conversation with my Customer Service team and they can look into our backend system to see if something was up.
Hi! I actually have just removed tab stickers from my box (I got two by mistake) so maybe it's going to return and you'll be able to snatch it?
I had to create a Gmail account to ensure I receive emails. I also had a hard time missing emails. But I find that with Gmail, they all come through now. Its a pain having multiple email accounts.

I can't wait for this fun kit to arrive. I was disappointed this morning at 7 am PST the story add-ons are already sold out. I loved the circles from stamp kit add-ons but it looks like you have to be a stamp subscriber as well. Too bad they would be great for journaling or photos. The lettering and YAY! is going to document the Golden State Warriors win last night. Great timing Ali. :)
Yep - the Add-On's are kit specific. We hope to have increased quantities of Add-On's available in the coming months. Thanks for being a subscriber!

I love this one so much. I had to have that stamp set so I subbed to it and then snatched up those circles. I just loved the circle embellishments you have included in the past. I look forward to playing with those.
Now I have both and that means I get the digital again. I just signed up for the hybrid class to finally use up the digital ones I got before I unsubbed from the stamp kit and I am looking forward to figuring out how to use those and this new one.
I'm excited for you to take Hybrid - lots of good stuff in that one :).

Love that the tabs are also available digitally. I wasn't quick enough to get a physical product in my cart, but I think it will be super easy (and super fun [ha ha, see what I did there, completely unintentionally] to color them and size them to be perfect for me. A little card stock and some adhesive, and you got yourself a Fun Tab!
Thanks for making such great, intentional products.
@AliEdwards perhaps you can make the tabs available digitally as a PDF as well as the PNG. That way subscribers who missed out could at least get a print and cut version.

Can you order the digital add-ons all month long? It doesnt have to just be in this add-on ordering period ending on the 15th right?
That's correct!

My mum has just died so I am going to use this FUN kit to record all the fun moments we had. I was going to use the Brave kit but I think this one will be a more positive reminder of our relationship. Just having to record these moments (at the moment in quick point form) is helping me with the grieving process. x
I'm so sorry about the passing of your Mom.

Can't wait for this kit. I already have the perfect place to use them....my trip to a cabin in the Smokey Mountains! I've been looking for FUN listed in my class list but it isn't in there yet. Any ideas?
Yes - the class content comes out on the 15th (just like it did in the past). It will be there tomorrow!

Anyone else not have any class content, digital files or an order for their FUN kit/s? The 15th IS the day, yes? I guess I should start a Conversation!
Should be all good now!

Yes! I too have not received any class content, digital files, And my order for both the story and stamp kits are not in my account, either. I started a conversation a couple hours ago and rec'd the "standard" reply---
No 'fun.'
Lol! "No fun!" Perfect!
Morning! Totally no fun. IT is looking into what's happening.
