Dear ,

The beginning of a NEW YEAR is the perfect time to find new ways to improve your cardmaking skills! How about learning more about using the tools that you have invested in but are not using.

When I asked members of the Plum Crazy Stamping community what stamping skills they would like to learn about, one the most mentioned topics was a "tool review". Since, I have also ended up coaching people in person on using the cut and emboss machine, I decided to do this class, first.

After announcing The TOOL TIME - HOW TO USE A CUT AND EMBOSS MACHINE ONLINE CLASS, a few questions have come up about the class.  Although I've already answered them individually, I decided to compile the questions into this FAQ. 

What if I don't own the Stampin' Up! Cut and Emboss Machine? Will this class still help me?

The information will apply to any cut and emboss machines. So to answer the question, YES! The tips and techniques will help you to effectively use your cut and emboss machine to die-cut images and create textured cardstock for your card designs.

Who is the TOOL TIME - HOW TO USE A CUT AND EMBOSS MACHINE ONLINE CLASS for?  How much stamping and paper crafting experience do I need to attend?
The TOOL TIME - HOW TO USE A CUT AND EMBOSS MACHINE ONLINE CLASS is for any Stamper that wants to learn about new ways to share simple stamped notes.  It doesn't matter how long you have been stamping. Nor how experienced you are making papercrafts. The only thing you need to do is have any cut and emboss machine, some basic paper crafting and stamping supplies and the desire to make some great projects.

 
What if I don't have the paper supplies and stamp sets used to make the projects in class?
You can use your own supplies - cardstock and ink colors with any stamp sets/dies.  The project and card designs will help you to make the projects with the supplies you have by providing demonstration of stamping tips and techniques and paper cutting measurements.
 
If you really like a tip or technique and you want to purchase the supplies used, you can always do that after attending the class. You will be able to watch the videos again, when you have the specific stamping supplies, since you will have Lifetime Access to the class video and PDF tutorial including step-by-step instructions to make the projects.
 
What's the time commitment?
The LIVE FB online class will last between 1.5 hours and 2 hours. The class will be videotaped and available for class participants in the FB Group with lifetime access to watch as many times as desired.  
 
Will there be any written instructions to help make the projects?
A written PDF tutorial with step-by-step instructions including machine tips and tricks, cardstock measurements and assembly instructions will be posted in the FB Group after the LIVE class in completed. A Supply List of all the supplies used to make the projects demonstrated will also be posted.
 
Why should I attend the TOOL TIME - HOW TO USE A CUT AND EMBOSS MACHINE ONLINE CLASS?  What's in it for me?
This class includes tips and techniques that will help you confidently use a cut and emboss machine to add 3D images and texture to your cards.
