Reserve Your Stamparatus Starting Today!!!

Today’s the day and I’m so excited that we can start preordering the Stamparatus!!!

Starting today at 2:00 pm Mountain Time you’ll be able to reserve your very own Stamparatus! We’ll be using a brand new system for the preorder and I realize it’s a bit confusing.  After reading all of the information over and over, I’ve pulled out the most important things to know.

1. The preorder begins today at 2:00 PM Mountain Time and will end on November 30 BUT reservation quantities are while supplies last!  If you can’t order one before the quantities are gone, a new reservation window will open on December 5th.

2.  Normally you would order Stampin’ Up! products through the online store but for this preorder, you’ll go to a special Stamparatus page where you’ll click the the RESERVE link and it will take you to a reservation page.

3.  This is what you’ll see when you click the RESERVE button:

4.  Once you reserve the Stamparatus, you’ll receive an email confirmation.  Your credit card will NOT be charged at this time.

5.  When the Stamparatus arrives in the warehouse (expected time is February for the first ordering window), you’ll receive an email that it’s time to close your order.  You’ll be able to add other items to your order and take advantage of any ongoing promotions such as Sale-a-bration (free products!!!).  You’ll also be able to add my current HOST CODE so you can receive a gift from me! Then, you’ll close your online order just as you normally would.  At that time, your credit card will be charged.

6.  I am assuming that to place your preorder, you’ll go to my online store where you’ll see a special Stamparatus link which will direct you to the Stamparatus Reservation Page.  Today at 2:00 pm Mountain Time CLICK HERE to head over to my online store!

More Stamparatus Information 

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me!!  Personally, I can’t wait to get my hands on this wonderful new tool.  I’ll be ordering mine right along with you later today!! 

On Stage Swaps

I received some really nice swaps in Salt Lake City last week.  I thought I’d share just a few of them with you today!

This first one uses the  Framelits, Many Mittens.  Purchase the Framelits and the matching stamp set at the bundle price and receive 10% off! I love everything about this card!

This card is absolutely gorgeous in person!


This card uses the Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder. It’s such a sweet card!

I love the layout of this card as well as the beautiful Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper I know I’ll be using this layout in the future! .

I love the combination of Basic Black and Pink Pirouette on this card along with the Polka Dot Embossing folder.  So striking!

Starting tomorrow at 2:00 pm (Mountain Time), you can preorder the Stamparatus, the Stampin’ Up! stamp placement tool.  Read all the details here!!  I can’t wait to order mine!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

My Swaps and a Guessing Game

Weeks before I went to On Stage in Salt Lake City, I was busy making cards to take with me.  After I stamped, punched, and die cut, I spent many evenings putting my cards together as my husband and I watched our favorite TV programs. It was all worth the effort because I received beautiful cards in return!

Demonstrators can swap in several ways:  sign up to swap ahead of time in an organized swap or just swap with demonstrators once you arrive (waiting in line for a General Session to start, in the hallway, etc.).  It’s so much fun! I signed up for two organized swaps.  The balloon card was a regular sized card and the bird card below was for a 3″ x 3″ card swap.

Let’s have some fun with all of the balloons I stamped and punched out!!  Guess how many balloons I have in this Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky and Berry Burst pile!  Make sure you click the link below to join my Stamping with Tracy Facebook Group Page where you can leave your guess – anyone can join! I’ll pick a winner on Wednesday!   https://www.facebook.com/groups/1793763417503951/

Excitement is building for the preorder of Stamparatus, the Stampin’ Up! positioning tool!! The first preorder begins on November 16th.  There are only a limited number available during this first preorder so if you have your heart set on one, be ready at 2:00 Mountain Time on November 16th. For all of the details, click here!

Introducing the Stamparatus!!!

Today is a two post day because I’m just too excited to wait until tomorrow! At On Stage in Salt Lake City a brand new product was demonstrated and this morning all of the details were released and we were given the ok to fill you in on all the details!!! For the past several years, I’ve had the honor of being a part of the group of demonstrators who helped with the development of this new product.

Before I tell you all about this product and how you can purchase one, I want to tell you about my stamping philosophy.  I absolutely love to stamp.  I love creating pretty cards and 3D projects.  Frustration has no part in my stamping.  If I find that I’m not having fun because I’m just getting utterly frustrated, I move on to something else. There are many areas in life where this philosophy is absolutely unacceptable but in stamping, it’s OK! It’s supposed to be fun!!! The brand new STAMPARATUS solves so many frustrating problems and that’s why I’m very excited about this product!!

The Stamparatus is a stamp positioning tool that will change the way you stamp with its very unique features. Check out the video below (my favorite feature: the hinges)!

Now that you’ve seen the video, don’t you love it???

  • You can precisely line up images without worrying about measuring or trying to get them straight.
  • Didn’t get enough ink on your stamp?  No problem. There’s no need to start over, just ink it up again and stamp!
  • Want to make multiples of a card? This tool makes it so easy!

How to Preorder the Stamparatus  $49.00

Stampin’ Up! is trying a brand new PREORDER reservation system for the Stamparatus.  You’ll reserve a spot and as soon as it arrives in the Stampin’ Up! warehouse, it will be shipped to you.

There will be three reservation windows but reservations are while supplies last! If you want to be one of the first ones to get your hands on this wonderful new product, be sure to order as soon as possible starting November 16th! I don’t know how many will be available within each reservation window but if you’re as excited as I am, order it immediately! The reservation window will open on November 16th at 2:00 PM Mountain Time.

Reservation Windows

November 16 – 30, 2017   Will ship approximately February 1, 2018

December 5 – 30, 2017   Will ship approximately March 19, 2018

January 15 -30, 2018   Will ship approximately April 15, 2018

You will be reserving your Stamparatus and your credit card won’t be charged until it’s shipped.  You will need a Stampin’ Up! customer account so if you haven’t ordered before, you’ll need to set that up.  Create an account by clicking HERE!

In the Q & A below, the How to Reserve Your Stamparatus Tutorial for Customers is the graphic above.


Please let me know if you have any questions!!  

It’s a lot of information and I know it might be a bit confusing!

On Stage in Salt Lake City

Happy Monday!

I returned home yesterday afternoon after spending four days in Salt Lake City attending the Stampin’ Up! event, On Stage. I had such a wonderful time and the days just flew by!  I was able to reconnect with old friends and make new ones!  It was so fun to be with thousands of woman (and a few men) who love stamping as much as I do!

We were able to see some sneak peeks of new products coming your way in January and that’s always SO exciting and fun!

Weeks before On Stage, I worked on making cards to swap with other demonstrators.  It was well worth all the time and effort to make them because I received some beautiful cards in return.  I’ll start sharing some of my favorites tomorrow!

The last time I was in Salt Lake City for a Stampin’ Up! event was three years ago when I attended with my good friend, Kristina.  Kristina passed away from ALS two years ago this month and being in SLC without her this time was difficult. The picture below was taken during that trip.  I crossed the stage for my Stampin’ Up! five year anniversary and it was Kristina’s tenth. Kristina was definitely with me in spirit during my trip last week.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
