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.

Here are a few important details:

Each registrant needs to place an order. Please include only one person per order. You will be asked to enter your complete mailing address and phone number, This information is for the courier to ship the event boxes only.  It is critical that you review the information you provided ie email and mailing address, as that is what we will use to ship your boxes. Complete it slowly. If your device uses auto-complete be sure to check what information it loads as your 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.

After you complete your registration, you will automatically be emailed a copy of the information you provided. If you do not receive that email, either you incorrectly entered your email address or your spam filter has blocked the email. Please check both your spam and promotions folder for the email. 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.

What form of payments do you accept?

We offer payments via Paypal or credit card. When choosing credit card it will lead you through Paypal. You DO NOT need to have a Paypal account. It is just a safe payment portal with the same encryption banks use. We will not see your credit card information.

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 Fall 2022 events. Please click HERE for all the details.

All payments must be received within one week after receipt or if on the payment plan, 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 event boxes together?

As we learned from last year products will arrive at different times making it very difficult to coordinate shipping the holiday and papercrafting event boxes together. We are 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.

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!
