  • I just started getting Happy Mail and I love it. I’ve already sent out a bunch of the cards from last month so I can’t wait to get more!

  • I LOVE my Happy Mail subscription! If anyone is on the fence about signing up, I can’t recommend it enough. In my opinion, you definitely get your money’s worth and I love that the items are so unique and special. I think my favorite card for this month is going to be the “Don’t Stop. Get it, get it.” postcard. I kind of want to keep it for myself and frame it but I also know the perfect person to send it to. #thestruggleisreal

  • This box looks super cute and I can’t wait to get it… but I’m kind of tired of cards with “check the box” themes… just an idea! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I subscirbed both Happy mail and Messy box. Can’t wait for them getting in the mail. Thanks Elsie for these cute cards!

  • I have been receiving happy mail and loving it. I just signed up for messy box and ordered the messy book too in b&w stripes. I feel like a big kid and can’t wait to start properly storing my photos and having fun in the process. Thanks for helping to make crafts like scrapbooking exciting for tattooed thirty somethings ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Love this month! Can’t wait to see it. ๐Ÿ™‚ Also, your nail polish…CRUSH! Share the wealth, color/brand?

  • Hello! I have a random question…where do you get your beautiful prints printed at? Especially with the foil? I’ve been wanting to do that for a while (I’m a graphic designer/hand-letterer) and was just curious! Thanks!

  • I’ve been having so much fun with my Happy Mail. My favorite is the letter-sized inspirational message card/page. I frame and put them on my wall. I also like how you guys pair the envelopes and cards for us!!

  • Oh, and speaking of which, do you guys think you might be able to do “gift subscriptions”? I’d love to buy, say, a three month subscription for a friend and pay for it all at once.

  • Love your creative ventures!!!… Just curious– does the messy box come with the scrap book, or is that separate?! Also– besides your Canon printer– how do you print your IG photos 3×3?! Thank you :)) xo

  • Do you guys know approximately how long the messy box will take to get to the UK? So excited to get started!

  • Just subscribed for six months! SO many frameable options this month! Thanks Elsie & Emma!

  • Maybe it’s just my lame computer, but the video freezes around 10:50 (when peeling off the film off transparency)and goes back to the beginning.

    But everything looks so cool and exciting–love it!

  • Love it! Cannot wait to get it in the mail. Quick question, do you guys think you will ever incorporate some silver (instead of gold) on some designs? Just curious ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Such a great month for happy mail! Can’t wait to get mine, as usual! I can see myself framing several from this month instead of sending them. the cards are so versatile since theyre such great quality they look like prints! I especially love seeing a cat card in the mix ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Hey ABM guys and gals!

    Maybe you already answered this… but, can us Canadian folks expect to pay duty on top of the international shipping fees? I want all of the mess!

  • I’m really excited for this. You are totally bringing good manners back! Sending and receiving handwritten notes is such a treat. Well done.

  • I was wondering if there was any way we could still sign up for the February happy mail? I am in love with the create the thing you wish existed print. Thanks!

  • nooo!!!
    i love the check the box cards!!!!
    theyre perfect for everything and anything!!!
    i used Februarys card to congratulate my friend on her new job!
    please DONT STOP making those!!!!

    also, LOVE IT!
    you guys are making it harder and harder for me to actually send out cards a s the months go by!
    soon enough, ill be signing up for 2 subscriptions just so i can keep one to myself!

    love this! thanks SO much!

    ps….that washi tape, can you PLEASE sell it on your shop. i absolutely love it and want it!!!

  • WHAT! I didn’t know that pugs loving popcorn was a universal thing??.. lol! I have always said my pugs fav food was popcorn, too funny! They are like carbon copies of one another, I swear.

  • I think this may be my favorite one yet!! Loving the Dog and Cat cards!!! The shopping lists will be super useful as well.

  • There really couldn’t be a better name for Happy Mail- I had a huge, silly grin on my face throughout the entire video! Congratulations on the launch of Messy Box, you two! I think I am just excited for it as you both are. Elsie, what nail color are you wearing here??

  • I just got my first Happy Mail box (February’s) and I love it. Thanks so much for such a cool collection of stationery and for shipping to Canada, and so cheaply.

    One card that I need distressingly often is a condolence card. I know that’s not really ABM’s jam — it’s not mine, either — but lately it seems like I need one every month or so, and I never have them in stock. Is this a creative challenge you might feel up to, Elsie?

    Either way, the cards are terrific. I’m sending my Grammy the Just Because postcard in the morning. Keep up the great work.

  • Yay!!! I was already giddy with anticipation for the Messy Box but now I am super excited. I already get Happy Mail and I love it so I know the Messy Box will be awesome.

  • Is there a plan to sell individual cards from Happy Mail in the shop? There have been cards in the past boxes that I would love to have duplicates of. I’d happily buy my favorites again!

  • I love when my Happy Mail arrives! In the last lot there was a postcard with “Just Because” on it in gold lettering – sending something in the mail to my mum to say just because is a thing she and I started years and years ago when I moved away from home (we live 4 hours apart). Of course I instantly popped it in the post to her and she has framed it, now she has a happy memory to see all the time. Thank you for that

  • Messy Box just blows my mind with all this awesomeness! I’ve been a studio calico subscriber and now Ali’s story kits, but i can’t help starting your subscription too. it’s just too rad to skip it. Such a good job!!

  • I’m so excited about the first Messy Box! I’ve been impatiently waiting ever since the first day your store opened and I saw it in the “Coming Soon” section. What’s even better is I own the album, core kit, and paper from the Project Life kit you girls designed (my first time using PL, by the way) and I can already see them coming together inside my head. Also, I’ve been a firm believer of mixing patterns since I was a little kid (probably part of growing up in the late 80s/early 90s) so this was the perfect first theme! So pleased ๐Ÿ™‚

  • I’m blown away by both boxes, but I will definetly sign up for the messy box, I tried to pre order but it wouldn’t allow me to. I hae a question , Elsie and Emma you are so successful and creative , will you ever be sharing how to take creative things such as cards and sell them.. I have a ton of ideas for a particular market and I don’t even know where to start ? Love everything you post ..

  • I just love this Messy Box – especially the variety of items. I have a question – will the patterned paper and card sizes always be the same?

    The reason I ask is because I’m thinking I would still use the 6×8 size albums where I incorporate my digital photos (4×6 and 3×4) and Instagram photos (2×2, 3×3 and 4×4) and then use the scrapbook paper for traditional layouts.

    Thanks!

  • That’s such a cool thing I didn’t know existed. It might be a really great gift ๐Ÿ™‚

  • The messy box is such a wonderful idea, I’ll definitely be considering signing up after I get back from overseas!

  • This is the best happy mail so far! Definitely just convinced me to buy a subscription! I also love how multiple cards this month could also be used as wall prints.. Although I may have a harder time giving them away now!

  • I love getting my Happy Mail each month! One item I would LOVE to see in a future month (or even months) is cute mailing labels. I love the sweet patterned envelopes so much, and I hate putting an ugly generic white square on them so I can send them in the mail.

    Keep up the good work and the awesome cards!

  • Oh no I’m so sad this month is sold out! Is there any way you have more available?!
