Literally! Chrsty did you kit smell? Mine smells like some kind of nasty kerosene/petroleum based stink! The KaiserCraft Workshop magazine stinks so bad I can't even touch it! It's horrible!

THanks for the warning! I usually open mine @ work as soon as it comes, but I'll wait until I can air it out on the back patio.

Weird. I wonder what happened. Is the outside of your box stinky?

No, but some of the papers and that KaiserCraft Workshop magazine REEKS!

It's probably the magazine. If it was freshly printed the ink could still have a strong smell. (Try walking through a printing plant! Yechhhhh.)

I finished with my 6 months and no longer am getting it. Sounds like a good month to have stopped.

This is my last kit with them, at least for awhile.... and I really like the papers in this kit so I'm okay with that. At least two of the previous kits are so far outside of my crappy style and interests that I will be passsing them right along (once I find them in the current disaster!!).

It's the BoBunny papers.
I'm thinking this because I ordered these exact papers from BlueMoon a bit ago and had the same issue. I don't know what they did to them but that's what it is. I laid them out and they still smell.

That's so funny, 'cause I purchased some of those same papers from my local craft store and not a one of them had any sort of odor. Maybe the difference is being kept in the bag as opposed to on a rack? I'm not too concerned about the smell... I'll just air them outside and that should freeze the smell away!!
