Here is a look at how to download from Google Drive and an updated look at uploading to Design Space.

VIP Access Pass holders will receive an exclusive account on our course platform with all the videos to watch on-demand, templates, and exclusive bonuses from our speakers.

If you have already purchased the pass, check your inbox for login details to your account (remember to check your spam and promotions folders). Here is a walk-through on how to set up a new account step-by-step - PLEASE watch the video in full. 

If you do not see any emails, please reach out with your name and the email you used at purchase to hello@abbikirstencollections.com for assistance.

If you watch for free the week of the event, September 23-27, you get 24 hours to view that day's workshops and download the templates.

You still get 24 hours, no matter your time zone; please use a time zone converter to track the difference.

But those who own the VIP Pass do not need to watch the week of the event because you have access to everything inside the pass already, including extra bonuses that free viewers do not get!

You are, of course, welcome to watch the week of the event even if you have the VIP pass, but remember that you get all the same info inside the VIP pass but with lifetime access to view and rewatch any workshop, plus those extra bonuses.

All workshops will start at 9 am ET and be available for free until 9 am ET the following day. 

If you are not in the Eastern time zone, you can use this converter to calculate your time difference.

You will get a full 24 hours to view the workshops for free, regardless of your timezone. Please use a converter to calculate the viewing period in your location. 

The workshops are pre-recorded, so we can offer them for 24 hours and allow folks from all different time zones to view them! If you need support, you can join the FB group or reach out to our speakers personally by following them on their blogs.

Nope! While a majority of these workshops focus on using a cutting machine as a tool, there are several bow, wrapping, and design workshops that do not require any cutting machine. Likewise, if you are someone who does not yet own a cutting machine but wants to see if you are a good fit, this event will help you learn how these tools can help you grow your creative skills!

The event features all the current Cricut machine models - Cricut Explore Air 2, Explore 3, Maker, Maker 3, and the Cricut Joy/Joy Xtra machines. The beauty of the event is that nearly all the craft workshops will work seamlessly with the various Cricut models, including the newest Venture and Joy Xtra, with a couple of exceptions.

The Cricut Joy/Joy Xtra machines face a few size limitations for certain crafts, but several specific workshops feature just the Cricut Joy to help various machine owners.

There are a few Maker-specific crafts during the event, such as our engraving workshop and wood workshop. Other than that, all the workshops can be followed with all the current models of Cricut machines!

Silhouette, Juliette, and Other Cutting Machines

While these workshops teach from Cricut perspective, be sure to look out for our Silhouette Surprise! Juliette Suprise! and Design Surprise! workshops sprinkled throughout the event, too! Many of these crafts can be made with other cutting machines aside of Cricut.

We've worked hard to bring you a wide variety of projects for this event while staying focused on helping even beginners understand the basics of each craft. You will find the following topics taught during the event.

1. Vinyl projects for signs, cup and candle wraps, screen printing
2. Iron-on projects such as ornaments, pot holders, wine bags
3. Infusible Ink
4. Paper crafts such as cards, gift bags, gift card holders, 3D boxes, and paper houses
5. Wood-cutting and wood-burning projects
6. Gift wrapping
7. Gift bows and tags
8. Design
9. Fabric crafts
10. Leather crafts
11. Engraving
12. Print then cut projects such as stickers and labels
13. And so much more!

Yes! View our supply list page here for all the workshops!

Typically, each workshop is about 25-40 minutes in length. Our speakers will cover the project setup and the assembly process. Our amazing presenters have generously provided templates for their crafts, which will be cost-free for each workshop's free 24-hour viewing period.

No, the VIP Access Pass refers to accessing all 2024 Giftfest materials only. Abbi Kirsten's other products, courses, and access to previous events are sold separately. To clarify everything you will receive in the 2024 Giftfest VIP Access Pass...

Here is a recap:

• Instant on-demand access
• 50+ workshop videos by our summit speakers
• Workshop templates
• Printable guides for each project
• Printable supply lists
• $537 worth of speaker bonuses
• Lifetime access (you will never lose access to the workshops)

Each day of the event, an email with the workshop links will arrive in your inbox, so you can click over and watch your craft workshops. Please sign up for your free ticket to ensure you don't miss anything. Once you do, check your inbox and whitelist Abbi's email hello@abbikirstencollections.com by adding it to your email contacts, which ensures it will arrive in your primary inbox.

You can also get forever access with the VIP Pass and start watching early!

Just like with an in-person event, once the workshop has expired, we cannot reopen it, BUT you can purchase the VIP Access Pass and get access to all 50+ presentations, templates, bonuses, printable worksheets, supply lists, and more. The VIP Access Pass gives you lifetime access to watch and enjoy at your convenience!

Nope! You instantly have access to all the videos when you purchase the VIP Access Pass, and there is nothing different in the information shared in your pass versus the daily workshops.

In fact, if you own the VIP Access Pass, you get dozens of exclusive bonuses! That being said, we still encourage you to participate and enjoy all the creative energy!

We all process things differently when trying to learn something new, and I strongly recommend watching the workshop through once before trying a craft. Then when you are ready, start your craft while following the video; use the pause button to stop it when you need a moment to catch up or rewind the video to process the info again.
