Get Ready, the Stamparatus is coming!

Did you miss out on reserving a Stamparatus stamp positioning tool in November? If you did, you are not alone.. the reservation window closed in about 15 minutes due to the popularity of this amazing new stamping tool!!!  Well, I’ve got some great news…. The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided Stampin’ Up! with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn’t be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that Stampin’ Up! has decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.

Stampin' Up! Stamparatus, Stampin' StudioAs was previously announced, the second reservation window will remain open from December 5–30 starting at 2:00 MT  however, during this reservation period Stampin’ Up! will take as many orders as they receive (yay!) and not close the window until December 30. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!
Please note the following changes: 

  • Beginning March 19, Stampin’ Up! will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
  • In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.
  • Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

Santa’s Suit is hanging it up!

The Santa Suit stamp set makes me smile… I love getting a peek of Santa in his “back flap” long johns.  This stamp set is one of many products featured in the Holiday catalog that will be “hanging it up” (retiring) soon.  Scroll down for full details on that, but first I want to share more about this card.

Today’s Color Palette

Stampin' Studio color Palette 12-2-17

One of the fabulous things about this stamp set, is that it’s a 2-step stampin’ set.  First I stamped all of the outline images, like Santa himself, his jacket and his pants.  Next, I used Real Red ink to stamp the inside image of the jacket, pants and Santa’s “back flap” long johns.  The images are super simple to line up, or you could always color them in with Stampin’ Write Markers or Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I used the Ivory Stampin’ Blends Marker to color in Santa’s head, hands and feet before cutting him out with the coordinating Santa Builder Framelits Dies.
