What is a crafter's greatest fear? Wasting scraps! In this 4-card class you will learn tips and techniques for using your cardstock scraps to create beautiful cards. Utilizing TE's Easy Strips collection, Taylor and her crafty friends will guide you through building patterns, die cutting shapes, and creating floating elements with strips of cardstock. From there you will step up your cards with stamping, heat embossing, and dry embossing!
Enjoy adding dimension to your cards with exclusive 3D embossing folders in this fun 4-card class! Together with Taylor and her crafty friends, you will explore techniques like burnishing, gilding, and inking while combining 3D embossing folders with several of TE's signature products. Class registration includes the Class Supply Kit with pre-cut cardstock pieces, embellishments, printed instructions, and exclusive TE products.
Join us for seven Craft-Along Sessions on Saturday to create 10 completed cards for a variety of occasions! Think of these as mini classes, where you'll learn unique techniques, tips, and tricks from some of the most talented designers in the craft industry! Whether you're a cardmaking beginner or a seasoned crafter, you'll walk away with loads of new ideas and inspiration!
Supply lists will be sent via email on February 3, 2024. Check your inbox for your list or visit the Virtual Stamp Joy 2024 Facebook pages:
Q: Do I need a Facebook account to participate?
A: Because Virtual Stamp Joy 2024 will be hosted on Facebook Live, you will need a Facebook account if you choose to participate in the live Class and/or Saturday Craft-Along Sessions. If you prefer not to participate via Facebook or cannot make a portion of the event, YouTube links to the recorded videos will be sent out a few days after the event!
Q: How do I set up a Facebook account?
A: You can create a Facebook account by visiting https://www.facebook.com/r.php.
Q: What type of device do I need to participate?
A: You will be able to participate using any device (computer, phone or tablet) on which Facebook can be accessed. You will not need a microphone or a camera, but you will want to ensure you have speakers so you can hear the instruction. There is no special software that you need to download or install in advance.
Q: Will I need to purchase anything else to participate in this event?
A: Participants will need to provide their own basic craft supplies (e.g., scissors, adhesives, a MISTI or other stamp alignment platform, die-cut machine, etc.). In addition, a list of supplies for each card (both for the Craft-Along Sessions and the Class) will be released after registration closes. You will need the required supplies, but do not need to purchase the recommended supplies unless you want to. Substitutions for supplies will be noted, when applicable.
Q: When will my event materials ship?
A: We will begin shipping event materials in early February to help ensure your package arrives well before Virtual Stamp Joy starts on March 8. All packages will be sent using expedited shipping methods to ensure they arrive ahead of time, and participants will be invited to join an Unboxing Event on February 23, 2024 to be sure they have received all items that were supposed to have been in their package.
Q: Why is there an extra shipping fee for participants who live outside the U.S.?
A: We want to make Virtual Stamp Joy 2024 as enjoyable as possible. One of the ways for us to do that is to ensure that participants receive event materials in time to fully participate. We have found that using the lowest cost shipping services runs the risk of international shipments being held for weeks, sometimes months, before they are delivered. We want to avoid this by using reliable shipping services that consistently deliver on time and even guarantee the delivery dates for shipments. Unfortunately, this level of service comes with a cost, a portion of which we regrettably need to pass on to participants.
If you need to cancel your registration for Virtual Stamp Joy 2024, you must contact us in order for any applicable refund to be processed.

Cancellation requests received on or after Dec. 18, 2023, will not be eligible for a refund.
