Are you taking part in SCT's Christmas in July?

I am a lover of the birds, but that doesn't even I don't much like that one.

I haven't ever worked with steel rule dies...is that to allow cutting of multiples at once?

I'm passing. I already have so many Christmas sets that haven't been used.

I think the price is good. You get goodies and 3 classes for $65.

I'm going to pass on this just because I have so much holiday stuff already and I really want to join the Pinkfresh holiday event.

I'll be passing on this too. I'd much rather spend more and do the holiday event in November. The description and pics really don't do much for me and I've got plenty of Christmas supplies that I like better.

Another sneak. Now I'm on the fence. They seem pretty generic dies. 

I think I'll pass too since I'd like to sign up for the Pink Fresh holiday event in September.

But those are nice dies, interested to see what everyone creates.

I signed up for it because of FOMO...seriously I like the instructors and may learn something I can use my other supplies with as well.

I immediately reconsidered after I wrote that since I may start doing holiday cards. I think the shipping at $10 must be subsidized because if I order any other kit, shipping is $12.50. I wanted to get another kit or two, but shipping jumped to $22.50 and $27, depending on what I added. I wrote to SCT and was told they would refund if shipping it turns out to be less, but I don't know if I want to risk that.

It’s a decent price for a class that includes dies and stencils and makes 7 different cards, but. I’m surprised that the dies are steel rule. They can cut multiples at a time, but they tend to have less detail than the thin dies. I really prefer wafer thin dies, both because they offer greater details, and for storage.

If I were to take the class, I would probably use stamps, dies, and embossing folders that I already own and just adapt.

I caved. Hopefully I will surprise family/friends with a handmade card this year.

Enjoy! I hope you will share your cards with us. And tricks you pick up from the teachers.

BTT to see who else is joining in.

I received my kit in a timely manner, but it seems that some people in the U.S. are still waiting. The dies are not steel rule, but the regular thin dies. I was actually disappointed with that because I was hoping to use the dies to cut felt/fabric. The stencils are a thicker than other stencils I have so I like that. There is "homework," but it hasn't been posted yet and the class is in a week and a half. Not impressed with the timing.

Did not do any of the homework, just watching the live. Will probably rewatch (speeded up) and make the cards at a crop later this year.
