Exciting News!


I have been positively bursting to tell you about this product for a couple years now, since I was on the design team giving feedback during its development, but I was sworn to secrecy. FINALLY I can tell you about this amazing new stamp positioning tool from Stampin' Up! It is unlike anything else out there, and if you watch the video below, you'll see how unique it is!


There are two removable, reversible hinged plates with grid markings, two VERY powerful magnets that store in little cubbies on back, and a foam liner for use with photopolymer stamps that you'd remove for red rubber stamps. Another cool feature is that it is open on two sides, so you can fit larger projects in it!


This product launch will be a bit different than in the past. Instead of ordering from your demonstrator (or from Stampin' Up! directly), there will be three reservation "windows" with three "available to ship" dates. By taking reservations, SU will know exactly how many to order from the manufacturer, which eliminates those very frustrating back-order situations.


When you reserve your Stamparatus, your card will not be charged until it is ready to ship. At that time, you will receive a notice that it's ready, and complete the ordering process. And then wait impatiently for the man in brown to bring your stamping happiness to your door! (At least if you're anything like me!)


Watch Carrie demonstrate some of the features in this video (I thought the Hinge Step Technique was really cool)!


Are you as excited as I am??? I can't wait to get it in my happy hands! And if I get in that first reservation window, it should be here around my birthday, WOOT! *hums 'Happy birthday to me'*

So, when can you reserve your Stamparatus? Here are the dates:

Smitten Mittens


Quick post today. I wanted to share one of the cards we made in the monthly stamp club. The Smitten Mittens Bundle is a lot of fun to work with, and I knew pairing it with the Cable Knit embossing folder would be a match made in heaven.


And the greeting in Snowflake Sentiments was a perfect match, too!


I finally got to use the Mini Tinsel trim. You knew there was going to be some bling on there somewhere, right? *big grin*

Color Me Happy BIRTHDAY!


Here's one of the cards from the Color Me Happy kit, but I put my own spin on it. The card was originally 4" x 4", but I wanted an A2 size, so I took elements from the original and added to it. Here's what is in the kit:

Can you tell which elements are different?
  • Cut down the card front and matted it on black cardstock
  • Changed the greeting to Happy Birthday and cut banner ends
  • Added cupcake from Bella & Friends
  • Added two strips of gold Washi tape to the white A2 card base
  • Popped matted image up on dimensionals


I sure do love coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers! Don't forget my special bonus when you order six of the color combo packs.....You will get a FREE Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad from me! This offer is only good through Nov. 15th, so don't wait until it's too late! You have one more week.
