What does the event schedule look like?

As we will be dealing with many time zones for this event, all times will be in Eastern Time Zone. Not sure what that is? Google “what time is it in Toronto” and that’s the zone we are in. We will release the event schedule approx. 30 days prior to the start of the event.

All event materials will be posted in the Guides section of the event Facebook group. We make navigating this event very easy! You will have access to the private Facebook Group and all YouTube classes for at least one year after the close of the event.

How do I register for the event?

Alumni registration will open at 12 PM ET on November 1st, 2022 for our Alumni (anyone who has previously attended a Crop & Create event either in-person or a virtual event).  Only Alumni can register Alumni during the Alumni registration period. If you wish to register a non-alumni, you can, just please do it during the general registration period.

General registration will open on November 3rd, 2022 at 12 PM ET.

Register by clicking the button at the bottom of this page! It’s fast and easy!

Here are a few important details:

Each registrant needs to place an order on our website. You may wish to set up an account early if you do not have one with us. Please include only one person per order. Complete it slowly. If your device uses auto-complete be sure to check all information including your email and mailing address. 

The email address you provide when registering is how we will be contacting you. IMPORTANT: If you use Gmail, please note that our emails are often filtered into the Promotions tab. Also, please make sure that you correctly enter your email address as this is where your order confirmation will be sent. 

After you complete your registration, you will automatically be emailed an order confirmation from the SCT website as well as a receipt for the payment from Paypal. If you do not receive these emails, either you incorrectly entered your email address or your spam filter has blocked them. Please check both your spam and promotions folder for the emails. Search for “Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine <jen@scrapbookandcards.com>” as the sender. 

IMPORTANT: Any address changes need to be provided to us 45 days prior to the event. Send address changes to create@scrapbookandcards.com with ADDRESS CHANGE in your reference line.

What form of payments do you accept?

We offer payments via Paypal or credit card. To make a payment using a credit card, during checkout, you must click over to PayPal. You will then have the option to sign into a PayPal account or use their one-time credit card payment option. You DO NOT need to have a Paypal account to check out. It is just a safe payment portal with the same encryption banks use. We will not see your credit card information. Please do not send an EMT payment. It’s a separate accounting system.

If you have any issues with these payment options, please email us at create@scrapbookandcards.com.

I do not have PayPal. What other options do you offer?

When you are checking out, it will look like you have to use PayPal to check out. When you get to PayPal, you will have the option of signing into a PayPal account or choosing their one-time credit card payment option. If you do not have a PayPal account, choose to use the one-time credit card payment option.

Payment Plan

We are very pleased to offer a great installment payment plan for all our Spring, 2023 events. Please click HERE for all the details.

All payments must be received within one week of the due date. Following up on payments is a lot for our small team to manage so we ask that you keep track of the payment plan you’ve requested and make all payments in a timely manner.

Can I ship my box to a friend’s house?

You are welcome to ship your event box to any address you choose. We prefer not to ship to P.O. boxes for tracking purposes.  We do not offer combined shipping when multiple boxes are shipping to the same address.

Can I pick up my box?

Yes, when you are completing your registration form, you can choose the option to pick up your box.

Can you hold and ship my Cardmaking and Papercrafting event boxes together?

We kit each event one at a time as the products will arrive at different times. This makes it very difficult to coordinate shipping cardmaking and papercrafting event boxes together. We are therefore unable to combine event box shipments.

What is your cancellation policy?

While we cannot offer refunds, you are welcome to make arrangements to give or sell your space to a friend! Please let us know at least 2 weeks before the event opens. It will be up to the person transferring their registration to ensure the kit materials are shipped to the person purchasing the registration.

If there is a waiting list once registration is closed and you can no longer attend, there will be a $25 administration fee for us to find a replacement attendee from the waiting list. We cannot guarantee we will be able to find a replacement.

Who are the instructors teaching the classes?

Sale of event box items

By registering for this event each attendee agrees that the sale of event box items is not permitted for 120 days from the start date of the event.

AFTER YOU HAVE REGISTERED

I have registered for the event. What happens now?

After you have registered, we will send a welcome email on December 1st with preliminary event information including a link to the private Facebook Group. The links to the Facebook group will also be printed on the bottom of your SCT order confirmation. We will not be opening up the groups before December 1st. At that time, we will begin to approve members. It may take a week to get through all of the requests.

Please do not invite any non-attendee to this group. We will be in touch several times between registration and the actual event opening with any additional information for the weekend. We will also put all communications into the Guides section of the Facebook Group. Again, if using a Gmail address, please check your promotions tab on your computer.

How do I change the address I want my event box shipped to?

Any address changes MUST be communicated 45 days in advance of the event date. Please send an email to create@scrapbookandcards.com.

What supplies are provided? What should I bring?

All event boxes which include class supplies will be shipped 30 days before the event begins.

The class supply list will be sent out approx. 40 days prior to the event. The good part is we will release that on the same day we release all of the shopping exclusives from our sponsors and retail partners!

All students will need to have for this event is a basic understanding of card making, a standard size die-cut machine, some colouring tools (pencils, watercolour markers, alcohol-based marker, or watercolours), a standard range of ink colours, acrylic blocks, etc. We recommend a stamping platform. Don’t have any of these? Not to worry. We will have shopping opportunities for you so that you can purchase those items!

We will be providing all card bases, basic cardstock for die-cutting, and A2 envelopes.
