More and more companies are heading into some kind of monthly subscription program. It could be a monthly stamp set. Some offer complete card kits. Others offer scrapbook kits. Some have just a few items and others have complete projects in each kit. There are a few things to consider before you consider subscribing to any plan or project.
Think About The Cost
Most of these services will require a credit or debit card. You will know the cost of the plan every month. The payment will be required the same time every month, generally ahead of the shipment. The monthly shipment may also include shipping and handling, so understand the total cost. Make sure to look into the company that you are dealing with, so you are sure the information will be safe. Understand the rules if you chose to suspend the subscription.
Subscription kits are a good way to get all the supplies you need without shopping. They also help you learn new ideas and techniques.
Reasons To Join
- You will get enough products to complete projects.

What About Support For Your Subscription?
Are you getting enough support to help you to complete the project in your monthly kit?
Are the directions included in the kit easy to read and follow? Are their YouTube videos included? Are there blogs, Facebook groups, or other support.
