FAQ

All About Paper Crafts, Scrapbooking Memberships, and More

EVERYDAY KIT CLUB (EKC)

  • What is the Everyday Kit Club? You receive 3 Project Supply Kits, 3 Project tutorials, and the How-to videos for each project.  In addition, you also receive 3 bonus projects (no supplies for these) with tutorials and videos as well. Project Supply Kits are shipped when each project is complete.
  • When can I join? You can only sign up during open enrollment.  Once the Kit Club has closed you will need to wait for the next Kit Club to open in order to sign up. Project Supply Kits cannot be purchased once the Kit Club is closed for that particular Kit Club.
  • How do I sign-up and learn more?  The Sign-Up button for the EKC enrollment can be found in the Shop. If there is no button available there, the enrollment is currently closed. Enrollment is typically open for 2-3 weeks. Once you click the button to access the purchase page, there will be a brief description of the upcoming projects and paper collections.
  • When will I be notified about Kit Club Membership?  You will receive a confirmation email for your purchase – please save this to a special email folder for reference.
  • When do kits ship?  One really important lesson I have learned during the existence of the Kit Club is that delivery dates on kits will vary from month to month. I can’t set an exact date for shipping as sometimes the items I purchase for the kits are not available right away. I will always keep you posted on any changes. I normally have the kits out by the end of construction of each project. However, again, if that needs to change, I will do my best to let you know.

DIGITAL KIT CLUB (DKC)

If you love the Kit Club projects but want to use your own supplies, then you can sign up for the Digital Kit Club (DKC). You get access to the 3 EKC Project tutorials and the How-to videos for each project.  In addition, you also receive the tutorials and videos for the 3 bonus projects. NOTE: This option is only available for purchase once the 1st project of the current Kit Club has been released.

  • How will I get access to the Digital Kit Club? Once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to download your MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf. Open the MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf on your computer, click on the link near the top of the first page. This link will take you to the Box.com folder where you can “join the folder” and have access to your tutorials and videos indefinitely.
  • Will access to the Box project folder ever expire?  No, if you “join” the Box.com folder you will have access indefinitely.

PROJECT KITS – A LA CARTE

  • Are there any Supply Kits outside of the Kit Club to purchase? Every once in a while I decide to make a project that is not a part of the EKC.  Sometimes these projects also have Project Supply Kits – they can be found in the Kits A la Carte section of my shop. 
  • Do I get a tutorial if I purchase a Supply Kit? Yes, Supply Kit purchases come with the tutorial (written instruction on how to make the project).  Once you make a purchase for the Supply Kit you will receive a confirmation email with a link to download your MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf. Open the MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf on your computer, click on the link near the top of the first page. This link will take you to the Box.com folder where you can “join the folder” and have access to your tutorials and videos indefinitely.
  • Do I need a membership to purchase an A-La-Cart Kit?  No membership required, this is a one-time purchase.

PURCHASE OPTIONS

The instructions include photos demonstrating the steps serving as a visual aid to help you along the construction process. This purchase does not include videos.
  • Tutorial & Video Combo – with this purchase you receive written step-by-step instructions on how to construct the project from start to finish. The instructions include photos demonstrating the steps serving as a visual aid to help you along the construction process.

TUTORIAL ONLY

Once you make a purchase you will receive a confirmation email with a link to download your MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf. Open the MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf on your computer, click on the link near the top of the first page. This link will take you to the Box.com folder where you can “join the folder” and have access to your tutorials and videos indefinitely.

  • How to Download my Tutorial? You can access the download link in your Paper Phenomenon purchase history or in the email confirmation you received at the time of purchase. Once you open/click on the link, you will see instructions on how to add the files to your Box.com account. Your order confirmation email will come from orders@paperphenomenon.com.  You may want to add this email address to your contacts to avoid emails going directly into your spam folder. If you create an account in the Paper Phenomenon Shop – you will always have access to your instant downloadable files on demand.  There will be no need to contact Paper Phenomenon Customer Service (PPCS) for help in retrieving your files.  No need to provide PPCS with an invoice # as proof of purchase.  No need to wait 24 hours for a response from PPCS.  And you will avoid an admin fee for lost files.  If you lose your files and require PPCS to send you files, you will be charged a $5 Admin fee. This fee only applies to customers with more than one request for lost files.
  • What do I do if I miss my download when I purchase a tutorial? When you purchase a tutorial you can access your purchase 2 ways:

1. You may access your purchase via the link sent to you in your confirmation email.  Once you make a purchase, an email is sent to the email associated with the purchase, with a link to access your tutorial.  We strongly suggest downloading and saving this tutorial as soon as you receive it.

2. If you logged in to Paper Phenomenon website prior to placing your order, the download link will be in your order history. Log in to the Paper Phenomenon website and view your Order History.  You can download your MASTER DOWNLOAD pdf directly from there.

**Please make a habit of downloading your file and then backing it up to a disc, flash drive, or your Box.com or similar online storage account for safekeeping.

**Once you have the file saved to your computer, you can then upload it to your OWN Box account for safekeeping. 

  • How to save a downloaded file to your Box account  Log on to Box.com.  Click the Upload button in the upper left    On the dialog box, browse to the location of the file/tutorial you want to upload.  Click Open. The file will be uploaded and save to your Box account so you can log on from anywhere to access it. 

Tutorial refunds

  • Can I get a refund on Tutorials? Since Tutorials are a downloadable products, there are no refunds – No exceptions.
  • When I purchase a Tutorial, do I get Videos with the purchase? This depends on the project. Some purchases include the videos as well as the tutorial, while others do not. For some projects you have the option of purchasing the Tutorial & Video Combo. Please read the purchase page thoroughly to determine if videos are included in your purchase or not and it there is an option to purchase them if not included.

TUTORIAL & VIDEO COMBOS

Some projects have the option of purchasing just the Tutorial OR the Tutorial & Video Combo.

BOX.COM INFO

  • What is Box.com? Box.com is a cloud content management (storage) and file sharing service. Box.com keeps all your files in one place which allows you access anywhere from any device.
  • Very Important Box.com is a storage site. It facilitates the sharing of files. This is how you access the files you purchase from Paper Phenomenon. Box.com is not designed to view videos like you would on YouTube. You must download the files to your computer. When you download the files to your computer you will enjoy uninterrupted viewing time. My recommendation is to download each file one at a time to avoid the corruption of files. Most tend to compare Box.com to YouTube. This is not the case. Box.com is a file-sharing service. YouTube is a video viewing service, like your television at home.
  • Please understand that if you choose to watch the videos directly from Box.com you will encounter buffering continuously. This will be very frustrating if you are trying to work on a project.
  • Do I have to create an account with Box.com? No, if you want to just download the files to your computer you do not have to create an account with Box.com. If you want to keep your files on the Cloud (the cloud will allow you access from any device), you will need to register with Box.com—it’s free. If you choose to have a paid account that is up to you. You don’t need to have a paid account with Box.com to access files from Paper Phenomenon.
