You're invited to the 6th NEPA Stamp & Swap, a day of stamping, friendship & fun! There's a lot planned so please read everything below & if you still have questions, please ask!
THEME: "Oh Christmas Tree" It's NOT mandatory to use the theme but you can use it in any of your projects.
COST: $25.00 includes the venue & a gift bag. All funds will be spent on the event.
REGISTRATION: Mail your registration form & payment to Lou Ann McGuire (address on form) or email form to: lamcguire@epix & pay via PayPal (Friends & Family)/ ThSere are no refunds once the event is closed but you may offer your spot to someone else. Registration must be paid no later than 5 pm on Saturday, October 2nd. Attendees are limited to 35.
COMMUNICATION: On Splitcoaststampers' go to "Forum" then "Get it Togethe". This will be the main way of communicating including the final numbers & other information for the event. Please subscribe to the event & check-in even after the event is closed for updates especially as the event gets closer.
ARRIVAL TIME: Doors open at 9:00. We will begin introductions at 9:45 so we can start stamping by 10:00.
MANDATORY SHOEBOX PROJECT GUIDELINES:
A full card with QUALITY cardstock (CS) layers & embellishment(s) or a simple 3D item.
Projects should take NO MORE THAN 5-10 minutes to complete.
Bring all the supplies to complete your project including any special adhesive & tools.
Making kits are encouraged & very helpful. Supplying envelopes or sleeves are optional.
You need to pre-cut & score the cardstock.
To reduce the time of your project, you can punch, die cut or emboss but DO NOT pre-stamp.
Please bring a few extra parts to fix any "oopies".
Projects will be set out in the morning. YOU will move, YOUR PROJECT will not.
Write up clear directions to post by your project unless it’s very obvious what to do. Include your name.
During introductions, you will VERY, VERY BREIFLY explain reminders or anything NOT in your directions. If your project needs directions but you are unable to print or handwrite them, please contact Lou Ann.
You will need to bring TWO completed shoebox projects; one is a sample for your project at your table & one is placed on the display board.
Please DO NOT sit at a shoebox project if you are not working on it. There are empty tables available & sitting at a project may prevent someone from getting that project completed.
Your project supplies must stay at the event until the end. If you have to leave make arrangements for someone to pick it up.
When you know what your shoebox project is, please post a name for it on SCS or send me a PM.
Tips: As you complete the projects, consider doing the part(s) that have to be done at the event (stamping, embossing & die cutting), take a photo of the sample then assemble later during the event or at home. This may help you get through all the projects. Towards the end of the event, if you’re done consider offering to help those who are behind.

Include your name somewhere inside so the lucky winner knows who to thank.
Wrap it up pretty so it’ll be a surprise until we’re done swapping.
EMBOSSING AREA: We will have areas set up with a heat tool & 2 Big Shots for embossing & die cutting so no need to bring your own. You will need to bring the embossing powders for your project with a tray/paper plate, etc. or embossing folders/dies for your project.
NAME TAGS: Since we all want to make new friends, please bring a name tag & include your SCS name if you have one. Stamped handmade name tags are beautiful & fun to see how creative we can get but we will have generic name tags available too.

Label your personal stamping tools which you may use including scissors, bone folder, paper cutter/scorer, scissors, straightedge, etc.
Bring LOTS of your favorite adhesive.
Bring something to place finished project in & baggies/envelopes to put unfinished projects in.
Hi everyone, I see many of you are creating & crafting! I know it's a long way off but have you looked at the swap list & decided which one(s) you're doing & thought about a designs for them & your shoebox project? I have limited supplies here so that's what I'm starting to do. Stay safe & well!
This year I added PayPal to your option to send your payment. There shouldn't be a fee if you choose "Friends & Family" then email your form to my email address.
HI! I have an idea for my shoebox (going to work on it tonight, actually!) and thinking I will do the recipe card and one other swap. I really hope we are allowed to do this!

We're very sorry but we've decided to postpone our event until 2021. With the uncertainty of Covid-19 & considering November is the start of flu season, we feel it's best if we skip this year. We'll have the same theme, swaps, etc. so mark your calendars for Saturday, November 13, 2021!
We're going to move forward with this year's Stamp & Swap! We're waiting on a confirmation for our location & will know next month. Fingers crossed that everything will continue to improve.

Yea! I received confirmation yesterday that our location has been approved so it's full steam ahead! We're now in the full planning mode & as you can see there are 3 people signed up & paid already.
I am getting excited for this event and already have my ATC coin designed & some parts already for a count. How are you girls doing? Who else is designing?
