March 2023 Crop & Create Cards

There are some things like that for me in the box but a few I know I’ll never use.

MichyM, does that mean that the lighter weight card stock in our boxes is Hammermill 60 pound? They don’t offer an 80 pound version.

Do a Google search for hammermill 80 lb cover stock and you’ll find the lighter CS in our boxes.

grammadee. If you miss the beginning of the live tonight (5pm PDT) you’ll have to pick up wherever they are when you turn it on. Afterwards the entire thing will be available for you to watch.

I am clearly a disaster when trying to buy reams of card stock, but I think I see the right ones of Hammermill now. I'm quite eager to fix my Neenah screw-up, but I'll wait until I've used this for the next couple of weeks.

For Hammermill, just make sure you get the one with the chameleon on it. It's cover stock. It comes in 60, 80 and 100#. MichyM's link is for 100#

Yes. Make sure you're buying cover stock. I personally don't mess with the 80lb, I use 100lb for bases and panels. I have 60lb on it's way as I'd like to be able to print on it from time to time, and my printer will jam with any CS over 65lb. 

Shakti, MichyM, and other interested parties . . . . I know I'm too much of a rule follower, but I'm hesitant to post a link with very specific information in a public place. So, here's how to find the link. . . . .

Go to the Guides section on Facebook. Choose guide 4, SCT Official Emails. Look for the official email labeled March 3. The section titled "If you're on #teampeek" has a link you can click. It's in blue and underlined. It takes you to a page on the SCT website that has video links, corrections,and other things including the PDF of the instruction book. That's why I'm hesitant to post the link - because you can access the instruction book from there.

I hope that helps.

If you have the newer Spellbinders universal platform system, it's the "how to emboss a cut shape" sandwich listed on the platform base.

If you don't have the universal platform system, I *think* from the bottom up, it's the base, tan flexible mat, cardstock, die face down & blue embossing plate. I may be missing 1 clear cutting plate in there somewhere.  

Let me look to see if I can find a Jennifer McGuire video for a visual.

ETA: Just realized the sandwich is listed on the old non-universal platform as "how to emboss a cut shape" too.

Here is the sandwich for the P6.

ETA:  Oops I was too slow replying. 

My box is scheduled to be delivered on Monday. I forgot about the unboxing, I just rewound and pressed play now - I'm about an hour behind live.

This is what happens when I am left alone with a box of supplies. I started the LRDS homework, then decided to use the negative cardstock as a stencil.
