That’s what I would like to know! Where is Sara and Crafters Companion!!!
Sometimes they don’t restock HSN. It probably will eventually be released in Crafters Companion’s site. Just keep checking both sites.
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingI have always enjoyed my shopping experiences with HSN for 30 years. As a crafter, I find it odd that Sara Davies can go on 2 back to back crafting shows these past few months and have all her products with EXTENDED DELIVERY and when you are on Auto ship , your shipment is delayed, this recent one was for 5 weeks. When trying to call to find out info at Crafters Companion, no one seems to be around to answer the phone.
She has stated before on multiple occasions about products that can only be bought at “this low price” until they are gone and when they sell out, they are gone. It is amazing that suddenly they reappear from the ashes at a further discounted price.
I feel bad to ever say anything derogatory about a presenter, but to me, she seems to be dishonest and I am cancelling my auto shipments and will not purchase from her ..….”Nevermore!”
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingAnna Griffin and Crafters Companion have desirable products, but people on the product only represent white humans. Even tinting or coloring the skin a different hue, the person’s are still obviously Caucasian. The few paper pages that depict Caucasian are not useful to persons of a different racial make up. Please be more inclusive.

Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingI was wondering if anyone knew why Crafters Companion has stopped the AutoShip on their newest issues of Inspiration Magazine.
I’ve only received issue 1 and issue 2. I wasn’t very happy with issue 2, but I am more disappointed that they are not fulfilling the auto ships.
I had hoped that HSN or Crafters Companion would at least let us know when they discontinue auto ship items.
I really enjoy receiving the Inspiration magazines and hope that there might be a hold up instead of a discontinuation. Could it be that crafters companion is moving over to QVC? Thank you for any help.
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingAm I the only one who is disappointed in this item? I had asked during a crafters companion chat if they had an academy of color to teach people to color, if they could have an “ACADEMY OF CARD MAKING”? Leann responded that I should watch the HSN launch. They teach you to fold paper, big deal! You have to be able to cut and place die cuts, glue on ornaments and the only thing that this template gives you is a card base. I wanted to be taught how to make the entire card. If you are a brand new crafter trying to learn how to make a finished card, this does not do that. If they want you to watch crafters tv, to learn how to make the entire card, you may learn while they keep selling products. Just wondering 🤔🤔🤔
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingI know this is a little late but the Crafters Companion Create a Scene die A/S item#. 751-506 ordered back on April 12,2021. Did anyone miss The August A/S or get that months A/S? Seems like I missed it.
Posted in Forum: Customer ServiceJust now I went to “Shop items” for the 9-10 craft show starring Crafters Companion and I get G by Giuliana pants. Where is the list of items to purchase?
Monday was a great Craft Day! The TSV Cricut Maker 3 Bundle was hands down a can’t match anywhere value. Free shipping and ready to ship. Cricut even added its new 13” paper trimmer. That deal on the brand new portable Light Pad Go was so sweet. HSN really had the Cricut deals.
Crafters Companion offered a beautiful Sara Signature Mega bundle of watercolor images of snowy winter for its regular price. I went for it when I saw the actual snow globes. Very soft palette of watercolors. The Spectrum Noir TriBlend Aqua Markers were all bundled at a significant reduction. I just wish HSN had the TriBlend Aquas for the Mega bundle that are available on Sara’s website.
Anna Griffin has raised the prices on die sets, but the 3D technology is really stunning and much more costly to produce. That being said, the beautiful 3D Concentric Rose die set was for sale for $18+ and the $5 all day cart was offered. And the Sleigh and Carriage Slimline dies, smash hits for Christmas, we’re reduced to $27+. Some very good deals.
Diamond Press is going into larger format dies. Given their lack of embossing, they seem overpriced. The bats were available in a much lower price in a stand alone kit that sold out. Good value. They are really a hoot. Diamond Press keeps Halloween light hearted and kid appropriate, but also humorous enough for cuteness loving adults like myself. I’m grandkids ready with their collection this year. Their first ever boxed card kit is awesome for Halloween. It is good to see Diamond Press stretch itself in COVID times and be ready to ship right now.
For the regular naysayers who show up routinely here every Craft Day, I am not buying the trolling. You missed out of $5 all day ship, some great vendors, good values, and fantastic products. I do my homework when shopping crafts, and HSN is more than competitive.
I like Anna Griffin products as well as Crafters Companion and Diamond Press. However, when $5.00 shipping ISN’T offered I don’t spend near the amount of money I spend when they offer the $5.00 shipping. The prices have increased on crafts, let’s keep the $5.00 shipping please.
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingPlease stop raising the prices on the craft items. Crafters Companion, Anna Griffin, and Diamond Press have all been hit with price increases. Card kits from Anna Griffin are getting impossible to sell and make a profit when customers are paying almost $4.00 a card to make them! Diamond Press products went from $20.00/$25.00 a kit to $31.00. Plus you rarely offer $5.00 shipping anymore. I understand everyone has to make a profit, but when you add the price increases to the shipping costs, it makes it hard for us crafters to survive. Please reconsider your increases, and try to lower your prices. It would be greatly appreciated.
Posted in Forum: Crafts & SewingEarlier this year I bought the CC Sentiments stamps & cards collection and signed up for autoship for future sets to add to the binder. I recently received the first autoship called “Female Family & Friends”. 12 stamps total, all fairly large, great for the insides of cards. But, of the 12 4 of them are for grandmother, 2 for mothers, 1 sister, 2 general (no relation), 1 each for daughter, granddaughter and aunt. Not a single one for nieces! And why 4 for grandmothers? I best most of the people buying this are old like me and don’t have any living grandparents!
Very very disappointed in the selection overall for this set. I’m hoping the 3 future sets improve.
When Anna Griffin is presenting Cricut, she is not presenting her products. The TSV was the Cricut Joy and Anna presents that product for Cricut as the live rep from her studio in Atlanta. It’s what Cricut and HSN wants. Every second of Anna presenting Cricut is not “her time” for her product. In fact, Anna got very little time for presenting Anna Griffin Inc. products throughout the last event day, which was not a 24 hour craft day. Every hour that was scheduled for her alone had a huge amount of time for Cricut. Some of the items she was supposed to present like the Anna Griffin envelope dies were only mentioned in passing or not at all. They sold out anyways. All told, Anna Griffin got less than 50% of the time she was supposed to have for her product alone, which was three hours in total. Totally Tiffany, a subsidiary with Crafters Companion, and Sara Davies got more time than that on the day.
We can expect to see a lot of Cricut always! One reason is because HSN has short term exclusives with Cricut. Cricut did its world launch on this last craft day of the Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Tool on HSN and HSN was the exclusive retailer. Kind of a big deal, although HSN hosts seemed oblivious to that fact. Doesn’t matter because Anna Griffin sold it out with her presentations. Cricut is high value items and that equals revenue for HSN. It’s like selling Apple products. The CEO of Cricut has his pick of vendors to launch products. Anna Griffin delivers. Her studio and production exceed what can be done live in house at HSN. Yes, I said it. Cricut does not need HSN to launch its products. The big retailers will happily do it. But HSN needs Anna Griffin to rep Cricut live because she has the skills and technical know how to give a high end presentation. Just know that Anna Griffin Inc has no skin in Cricut. Two different companies altogether. Don’t confuse the two.
As to Anna Griffin’s products, I am a vigorous consumer hands down. But I also like Diamond Press, Sissix, and of course Cricut. Different strokes for different folks. Go online to HSN. There are amazing vendors selling artists, sewing, and a world of craft products. Shop it and maybe you will see that vendor get air time. For me, I want way more live time for Anna Griffin products on HSN with knowledgeable hosts, and the huge base of Anna’s fans feel just as I do. HSN has Anna Griffin exclusively and HSN needs to deliver professionally.
