Today at My Craft Channel & FAQs

Before I tell you what you will see at My Craft Channel Today, let me address some FAQs with everyone. Here's a few updates and answer to questions you might have that we have been answering since we went live on Monday.

1. Shopping Cart should be working without any issues and confirmations should pop up so that you can print the page at the end of your purchase (I know this because I had to order yesterday's Featured Buy...such a great deal).

2. Speed of the site is improving daily. Until the site went live it was hard to know how it would perform for everyone. Make sure you're running it on an updated browser though, that improves performance a lot. If you do continue to run into issues with getting the videos to play or place an order please email us what operating system you are using and browser (ie. PC IE8 or Mac Leapord Firefox5) to info@mycraftchannel.com

3. Shipping International - We are able to do that, but the shipping calculator on the site is not functioning properly right now. So your easiest and best option is to contact our "Awesome Alex" and let him know you'd like to order the Featured Buy and give him your address...he'll let you know what happens next. Email him at info@mycraftchannel.com.


Featured Buy:

We wanted to mention that Heidi Swapp is actually the girl that called the i-Bond "instant gratification." She loves using the i-Bond because of how quickly and easily hot glue bonds on her projects and the fact the glue gun runs on batteries makes it so much handier. Click here to learn more about today's Featured Buy.



Today's Episodes:


You are going to love the variety our live episodes offer for your creative inspiration. Brittany Eggbert from One Charming Party The Show teaches us the tricks to frosting a cake perfectly. Create to Remember's  Heidi Swapp will teach you how easy it is to create your own mini albums with glue and paper.

And don't forget our Tip of the Day with Shelby, she'll be showing you how she ties mini bows in no time at all! Learn to tie simple ribbon bows in under a minute.

PAPER RUFFLE PROJECT TIP:
Kristine mentioned in her episode today that she would explain how she created the yummy paper ruffle along the pennant mini album. It's simple....
 

It's simply a strip of scalloped paper that I wadded up repeatedly to get a soft fee like fabric and then slightly scrunched as I glued. Tip:  you'll want to start out with a longer strip than your project.
