Common Questions and Answers
- How do I know what stamps I need? All the projects we’ve designed will allow you to use any stamps, inks and paper that you have. Be ready for lots of ideas!
- Will I be stamping WITH you? Everyone stamps at a different pace and with that in mind the demonstrations are not designed for you to stamp along with us. The tutorials are now uploaded to the Retreat Hub page. These tutorials include photos, supplies, cutting dimensions and step-by-step instructions. If you want to create with us, you can do just that – print them out or have them up on your computer screen as you watch.
- Are you sharing projects you’ve shared before? No, these are brand new ideas never seen on my blog.
- What if I am not available to watch on the day of the Live retreat? What if the time zone doesn’t work for me? This is YOUR retreat and we want everyone to have the experience that works best for them. There are 3 ways you can participate:
- Watch the Live presentations on YouTube,
- Follow the links to the pre-recorded videos listed in each tutorial, or
- Watch the YouTube Live replays at any time. If you want to stamp with us, watch the pre-recorded videos and pause as you create. If you love the Lives, click the links that we provide you at the top of every hour. If you want to watch a little and stamp a little, you can do that too.
- YouTube Live? I thought the retreat was on Facebook? All our live stamping presentations will be on a private YouTube channel. We will provide you with quick YOUTUBE LIVE LINKS to find the Live videos – every hour on the hour. The Facebook page is optional and is only used if you would like to share your projects with other retreat attendees.
