CRUISING!
I’m super excited to announce that we have a ship and conference room reserved for our stamping adventures and shenanigans. We set sail from Seattle on Friday, July 30th, 2027, and make our way back on August 6th. Our ship is Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas, and the cruise itinerary is shown below.
Most of the details and specifics have been ironed out and we’re beyond excited to plan an amazing experience for you. Registration is a two-part process. First you will want to get your cabin booked and then you will complete a registration form with me for the crafting part.
Eva Wallert from Ahoy Travel is your gal and excited to help you with your booking. You need to book through her if you would like to do this event with me. It will make our logistics go so much more smoothly.
Are you wondering if you can bring your spouse, significant other, friend, or someone along for the ride? Yes, you most certainly can and Eva can help you get everyone in your group booked. They do not need to do the stamping part with me. Only those that want to participate in the crafty part with me will need to do the second registration process with me.
Eva’s phone number is 785-472-5757 and her email address is flipper@kans.com
Cruise pricing is based on double occupancy. However, it can be priced for the solo traveler. The ship offers everything from economical inside staterooms to luxurious suites.
As Eva tells me who books a cabin, I will be tracking at a high level who wants to do the stamping and who doesn’t. My goal is 80 people and we have space for 90 for the crafting part. I will keep an eye on it and make announcements to my community when are half full and when we are around 60, and as we get closer to 80 people.

MEETS CRAFTING!
Now for the crafting part which has a separate registration process and payment through me. Click HERE to register for this part. We plan to order all the SU products to ship here so we can prep all your classes (except the DSP which I will do a YouTube live a few weeks before departure so you can cut all your DSP ahead). A box will be mailed out to you on July 1, 2027 or ready for you to pick up on July 2. You’ll be able to pack it in your suitcase to bring along. That way you know how much space you’ll need.
This is going to be the most PHENOMENAL EVENT EVER! Kelly and I are going to design 7 classes for you to work on while we are at sea. It will feature products that launch after January of 2027 and we’re starting to collect our ideas for the classes already….yay!
What does this event all include?!?!
—Goody Bag full of Products - $150 to be exact. It will be a combination of DSPs, ribbons, embellishments, doodads, and whatnots. Whatever we need to help provide the most amazing classes for you while we are away. We are planning to do 3 on each of the full sea days and 1 on the half sea days.
—Classes - 7 to be exact unless we over do a couple of them and feel it best to do 5 and we’ll know that when we start designing the projects in early 2027. It will be a combination of cards, 3D things, fun folds, albums, and more….
—An exclusive attendance gift that will be super cool!
—Event gifts that you will be able to enjoy using.
—Lovely table gifts to brighten your sea days!
—2 prize patrols….because we ALL love PRIZE PATROL!
—An exclusive commemorative enamel pin for this amazing event
—A cruising shirt so we can get a group photo
—A printed PDF Tutorial with pictures of outsides and insides, measurements, and step by step instructions that will be included in your box
—Video Tutorials for each of the classes that will follow after the event in case you don’t finish all your projects because you played hooky
—A private Facebook Group for those going on the trip. I will add you to the group after your cabin is booked. Click HERE to request access to the FB group once your deposit is made on your cabin.
—A Google Drive Folder where I plan to store documentation and photographs. Those who aren’t on FB will be able to access those things there and from the update emails I send. Click HERE to request access to the Google Folder once your deposit is made on your cabin.
