If I join the club today, what set will I start with, this month's or next month's?
You will start with the set that is displayed above the "Join the Club" button on the "Join the Club" page.

What form of payment do you accept for club memberships?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

How do you ship my stamps to me?
We send them via the US Post Office. We've found this method to be the most economical and pretty fast. It usually takes up to ten working days to get your stamps to you, in the US, (Canada and International can take up to four weeks) but most times, it's quicker! And the price! You can't beat our shipping prices!

Where do I go to change my club credit card information?
You can update your club credit card under the My Account menu by clicking on My Clubs menu item. If you are currently signed in, you can click on this My Clubs Page link to go there now. Click on the "Manage" button on the club that you would like to update.
Please Note: This does not update your Shop payment information, only your club information. To update your Shop Card, go to the "My Payments" option under the "My Account" section.

I'm a Club Member, but I'm not seeing my discount during checkout.
First, make sure you are signed into your account. If you see a pink heart next to our logo on the shop page, then you will see your club discount in the Summary section during checkout. If you do not see a pink heart at the top of the Shop page next to our logo, then you are not getting your club discount, please contact us so that we can update your account.

Can I return a Club Shipment if I don't like it?
In order to keep all of our Club Prices so low, we are unable to offer an opt-out, exchange, or return option. We package and ship in bulk to make sure our prices are the lowest in the industry. If you find that a club set is not to your liking, please check out the video and on-line gallery for inspiration. It might not be a stamp set you would have purchased on your own, but once you see what our Design Team has created, we are confident you'll soon love them!

If I upgrade my Stamp Club to the Die Hard Club, will I have to start over to get my 12 consecutive months to get my free gift card?
Absolutely not. Your consecutive months will just pick up where they were, so no lost months here.

If I cancel my club membership, then join again, will I have to start all over to get my 12 consecutive months for my free gift card?
Yes, unfortunately you will have to start over, so make sure that's what you really want to do before you cancel.

I need to {sadly} cancel my Club Membership.
We are sorry to see you go, but we do understand sometimes this might happen. We label and package club shipments 10 days before the ship date each month and cannot make any changes after that. To cancel a club, be sure to cancel by the cutoff date. Click on My Clubs on the My Account menu, then click on the Manage button below the club you would like to cancel. You will see a Cancel Club button on the Manage Menu.

Yes, Club Points can only be earned, saved, and redeemed by Club Members. If you are a Club Member and you cancel your membership, you will lose your points.

How do I earn Club Points?
Points are for Club Members Only. Club Members earn 1 Club Point for every $1 you spend in our shop. Club Members receive monthly Club Points. Club Members can also earn extra Club Points for every friend that you refer to one of our monthly Clubs. When your friend signs up for one of our Clubs using your referral link, both you and your friend receive extra Club Points.

How many Club Points do Club Members receive each month and when are they given?
All Club Points for all Clubs will be given on the 22nd of each month. You will find your Club Points in the My Account page on the website.

How do I spend my Club Points?
On the Shopping Cart page, at the bottom of the products, click on the "Spend Your Points" link and you will see three different ways to apply the amount of points that you would like to spend. You can user the slider to adjust points, enter the number of points in the text field, or click on the checkbox to apply the maximum amount of points to spend. After you have applied your points, you can checkout like normal. If you go straight to checkout and skip the shopping cart, you have another chance to apply Club Points on the Payment screen. You will get the same three ways to apply your points.

How come I am not earning Club Points on my order while I'm spending points?
Club Points can be spent or earned on each Club transaction (you are unable to earn and use points on the same order), so you may want to consider building up your Club Points before using them.

Why am I unable to spend my Club Points during checkout?
You have to have at least 500 Club Points built up before you can start using them. If you have 500 or more Club Points and are still not able to use your Club Points during checkout, try signing out and then back into the Shop page. If you are still having an issue after that, please Contact our Customer Service.

Whoops! I made a mistake on my order; how can I fix it?

Club stamps and dies are unable to be returned or exchanged. Please note that we are unable to give credit for the shipping fees.

Why am I charged sales tax on my orders?
Most states require businesses to charge online sales tax regardless of whether or not they have a physical location in their state.

Products

Can your metal cutting dies work in the Cuttlebug?
The FRAMELIT Flip-it Dies work in the Cuttlebug and any other machine on the market that cuts wafer thin dies. Just a note, on some machines, you might need the extended (longer) cutting pads and platform for the larger dies.

Where can I find more of the great storage sheets you use to store your stamps?
Ahh, these are popular! You can find them on our website here: Link to Storage Sheets.

How long do photopolymer clear stamps last?
Photopolymer clear stamps can and should last a lifetime. There is no specific life span on photopolymer clear stamps, with proper use and general cleaning and care they should last as long as traditional rubber stamps.

What is the best way to clean clear stamps?
Stephanie's favorite way is with cheap baby wipes!
However, if you're an obsessive-compulsive, they do make cleaner specifically for clear stamps. Also, if for some reason your stamps start to lose their tack, you can wash them with soap and water. Never soak or let any of your stamps sit in a solvent or alcohol based cleaner, because they can break down all types of stamps. We also recommend not using solvent inks on the clear stamps.

How do I keep my stamps sticking to the acrylic blocks?
Photopolymer clear stamps normally will stay sticky and adhere well for years to come to your blocks, if they lose their tack simply wash them with soap and water or the clear stamp cleaner.
For best results, do not store your stamps on the acrylic blocks. Instead, return them to their original plastic sheets (where their other stamp friends are!) ;)

What's a FLASH SALE?
A Flash Sale is a BRAND NEW item on SALE for 24 hours or until it sells out. These brand new items tend to sell out quickly so if you see a Flash Sale item, get it ASAP. Once we sell out (or 24 hours go by), it will go back to regular price when it comes back in stock. Sorry, no rainchecks. Please note: Flash Sale items are always on brand new items. Not old inventory.
Shipping

Do you ship Internationally?
Yes, most of our products ship international. We are unable to ship some of our more bulky items international.

Can I combine orders to save on shipping?
We are sorry, but once an order is placed, it is immediately sent to our processing center. They pull, pack, and ship in the order they are received and are unable to combine orders. Please make sure your order is complete before you hit the final button and remember, orders over $100 after discounts in the USA get FREE shipping.
Website

My Gift Certificate Code won't work, what should I do?
Your code will not work if you are entering it in the Discount Code box. You need to choose Gift Certificate as your payment method when checking out. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and enter the code in the Gift Certificate box. Then choose another payment method to complete any remaining balance.

My "Default Billing Address" and "Default Shipping Address" are blank. What happened to the addresses that I already input?
The addresses should still be in your Address Book, but since we moved to a new website, you will have to reassign which address to use as your default addresses. Go to "MY ACCOUNT", then "Address Book". Find the address that you would like as your default and click on the "Edit" link. Click on the checkboxes at the bottom of the address fields and save.

How can I post my photos in the Gallery?
If you don't see a pink upload button at the top of the Gallery page, sign in to our Shop page and go to the "My Account" page. Click on the "Edit" link under the "Contact Information" box. If the Nickname field is empty, type in a name to use for your publicly displayed gallery profile. You should now be able to upload to our gallery. If you still don't see the pink upload button at the top of the gallery page, try signing out of the shop, closing your browser and then sign back into the shop and try again. If you still don't see the upload button after following these steps, please Contact our Customer Service.
Online Checklists

Why does my Checklist not check the items I have purchased?
We are allowing you to keep your own checklists updated since we know you may have purchased our products from other places, but we are providing a couple of services for you to get you started. On your first visit to the checklist, it will attempt to check all items that you have purchased on our website. If some items are missing, it may be that you purchased those items from a different account, or that you purchased those items from a craft convention, HSN, or another location other than our website shop. After you place an order on our website, ordered items will be added to your checklist the following morning.
Also, please note that any items purchased in a bundle and any club products will not be automatically checked. Please remember to check those items yourself.
Also, please note that any items purchased in a bundle and any club products will not be automatically checked. Please remember to check those items yourself.

I no longer own a checked item on my checklist. Can I uncheck any items I no longer own?
Yes, you can uncheck any items you no longer own and you can check any items that you may have purchased at another location.

Why is the search feature not returning a product that I know it should?
Our checklist search feature currently only searches on product titles at this time. Also, please make sure you are on the correct checklist when you do a search. We have a checklist for Stamps and a checklist for Dies. Be sure to click on the checklist you wish to search and then type in your search.

The Checklist is missing several dies. Why are they not showing up on the Checklist?
We have separate checklists for both Stamps and Dies. The Checklist page defaults to the Stamp Checklist. Be sure you click on the Die checklist button to see the Die Checklist. Some products will be on both the Stamp and the Die checklist because they contain both a stamp and a die. If you still do not see a specific die or stamp, please keep in mind that our system only displays products that are in our shop. Any products sold for a specific company like HSN that has not been re-released on our website is not in our system and therefore we are unable to display it on the checklist.

Are the Checklists printable?
Not at this time. We know that you can print any browser page, but the format of the checklist page is not in a printable format and we don't think you will like the result.

Why are my club items not checked on the Checklists?
Our clubs are on a separate system and our Checklist feature is unable to determine if you have purchased a specific club item or not.

How do I save my changes on the checklists? I don't see a "Save" button.
Each time you check or uncheck an item it is instantly saved, no need for a "Save" button.
