Have you reserved a Stamparatus yet? Saturday, December 30th is the last day to put your reservation in if you want to have one before it debuts in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog in June. Reserving one this month is just that, a reservation. While you do need a credit card to reserve a Stamparatus, you will not be charged until it ships sometime in March – April. Once it’s arrived at the Stampin’ Up! warehouse, you’ll receive an email to close your order and only at that time, will you be charged.
If you’ve never used a stamp positioning tool before, I bet you’re wondering why you would need a tool like this. Believe me when I say that it will totally change the way you stamp!
Making multiple cards? Once your stamp is placed on one of the plates and your paper is secured with the heavy duty magnets, ink your stamp and close the cover. Keep repeating this process and your image will be in the exact spot on each card.
Have you ever been completely frustrated when you’ve stamped an image and it’s too light? Me too. But with the Stamparatus, that will never be a problem again. The magnets keep the paper in the same exact spot, so all you need to do is ink up the stamp again and stamp until your image looks exactly the way you want!
The Stamparatus has hinges along the right side which means you can perfectly align words or images underneath one another.
To see it in action, watch the video below!
To reserve yours, you’ll need a credit card and a Stampin’ Up! account. To do that, go here and then click Create Account (top left of the screen). You have until December 30th to reserve a Stamparatus and after that, they won’t be offered again until the new catalog debuts in June. If you have any questions, click herefor some frequently asked questions and answers. And as always, you can contact me with any questions you might have.
Ready for a sneak peek of a few new products in the Occasions Catalog? On January 3, 2018, the Occasions Catalog goes LIVE and Sale-a-bration begins (free product)!!! If you’ve ordered from me recently, your catalogs are on their way. If you haven’t ordered and don’t already have a demo, I’d be happy to send both new catalogs to you. Just email me with your name and address and I’ll get them off to you!
Here’s what’s new on my card:
Petal Passion Designer Series Paper – handprinted watercolor designs in shades of black and white
A Good Day Stamp Set (it coordinates with TWO new scallop punches)
1-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (Yippeee, I love punches and am so happy we have two new ones)
Berry Burst 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon (this ribbon is absolutely gorgeous)
Tutti Frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins (yes, adhesive on the back!)
Today’s card uses our Notecards and Envelopes which are smaller than a regular sized card. The cards measure 5″ x 3-1/2″ and each package contains 20 cards & envelopes.
I wrapped the Berry Burst Metallic Ribbon around a piece of Whisper White measuring 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ and adhered it to the back with Fast Fuse.
The Whisper White panel is attached to the notecard with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I colored in the flowers and leaves with Stampin’ Blends.
The sentiment was cut out with the 1-3/8″ “soon to be released” Scallop punch which coordinates perfectly with the Berry Burst scallop underneath it which was cut out with the Layering Circles Framelits.
I hope you enjoyed seeing a few sneak peeks! Have a wonderful day!
I can’t yet link the new products to my store until they go live on the 3rd, but in the Product List below, I’ve included what’s available now! Click on any of the images below and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
Over the last several weeks I’ve been showing projects that use heat embossing so I thought I’d share a quick video showing how simple it is!
You’ll need just a few supplies: Versmark ink, embossing powder (my favorite this season has been silver), an embossing buddy and a heat tool. You’ll find all of these supplies below. Simply click any of them and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
If you have any questions about the embossing process, please let me know!
Before I share my project, I want to let you know that the Clearance Rack has just been updated! I checked it out this morning and there are lots of Big Shot Framelits and Thinlits, as well as ribbon, paper . . . . . click here to head on over to the Clearance Rack!
Sometimes it’s nice to have a little something to give to a chocolate lover and wrapping up a big chocolate bar is a great way to say you care! I wrapped my candy bar with a sheet from Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper and added some snowflakes cut out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper using the Seasonal Tags Framelits. It’s a bit hard to see in the photo, but they’re so sparkly!
The sentiment, from the stamp set Christmas Quilt, was embossed using silver embossing powder. This is one of my favorite sentiments this holiday season! It was cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and sits on top of two scalloped ovals (Whisper White and Pool Party) from the Layering Ovals Framelits.
My paper measures 6-1/8″ x 6-5/8″ and I used Fast Fuse to glue it in the back. Quick and easy but so cute! If you have any questions, let me know!
I’m off to run some errands. I’ve come down with a cold and hope it doesn’t get any worse that it is right now as there are too many things to take care of this week! Take Care!
Today I have a Sneak Peek from the Occasions catalog which debuts on January 3, 2018. It will be here before you know it!
I made these tags while at OnStage in November for my Stampin’ Up! conference. All of the products come from the new Tutti-Frutti Suite. The new items are the Tutti-frutti 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon, Fruit Basket stamp set and the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack (cute little fruit punches). In fact one of the punches was used to create the hole for the ribbon to go through. So clever!
Within the next week I’ll be sending out the Occasions & Sale-a-bration Catalogs to anyone who has recently placed an order through me. Isn’t is always so much fun to look through a brand new catalog filled with new products?? If you don’t already have a demonstrator and would like a copy of the these two catalogs, just email me your name and address and I’d be happy to send one off to you!
Thank you for stopping by today and enjoy the rest of your day!!
December is so busy! I’m popping in just for a minute today to share this idea for treats! I used our 2″ x 8″ Cellophane Bags and added Designer Series paper inside and as a topper. After inserting the 1-7/8″ x 6″ paper, I added the candy, folded over the excess cellophane and attached a 3″ x 2-1/2″ topper. I stapled it all together and added the To/From to hide the staple on the front. The cute stocking is cut out with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the Christmas Stockings Framelits. The sentiment comes from the stamp set that coordinates with the Framelits, Hang Your Stocking. Quick, but oh so cute!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

It’s Friday!! Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Today I have an easy to make, thank you card. At this time of year we all seem to need thank you cards, right?
I used the stamp set Remarkable You which has four big, bold images, perfect for coloring! I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends, stamped my image with Memento Ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock and started coloring with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.
The flower was cut out with Stitched Shapes Framelits which I happened to notice this morning are on the Low Inventory list so if you’ve been thinking about purchasing a set, I’d act quickly. I also used a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits. These two sets work so well together! I wanted a big bold thank you and found one in the Daisy Delight stamp set. I finished it off with 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon in Whisper White.
All of the products I used can be found in my product list below. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Have a wonderful weekend!
Whisper White: 11″ x 4-1/4″ (score at 5-1/2″) & 5″ x 3-3/4″
Rich Razzleberry: 5-1/4″ x 4″ & scrap for the scalloped oval
Thick Whisper White: scrap for the sentiment
Stamp the flower using Memento Ink onto Thick Whisper White cardstock. Use Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends for the flower and Old Olive for the stem.
Stamp the sentiment from Daisy Delight using a Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Pad.
Layer the sentiment onto a Rich Razzleberry oval and pop it up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To thank you for your December order, please use the host code QG26PZB7 and I’ll send you kits to make all three of the cards above. Orders over $50 (before shipping/tax) will also receive a package of Pearls.
I’ll cut, punch, score and emboss all of the paper! You’ll just need to provide ink, adhesive and stamped images ( I cannot provide stamped images per Stampin’ Up! policy). In addition, every order receives a hand stamped card. Orders over $50 start earning Bradley Points (save them for a free stamp set). For all the details about the Card Kits, click here!

This little reindeer is adorable! I’ve had so much fun with the stamp set Seasonal Chums and the cute images in it! I stamped the little reindeer with Memento Ink onto Thick Whisper White cardstock and colored him in with Stampin’ Blends – Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight and Pink Pirouette. Coloring is so relaxing!
Once the reindeer was colored in and cut out with the Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies, this was a fast card to make. I embossed a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 5-1/4″ using the Winter Wonder embossing folder. I glued it to a piece of Real Red cardstock measuring 4-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ (scored at 5-1/2″). I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the reindeer and attached him in the middle of the snowflake.
The sentiment is in the stamp set Cheers to the Year and I heat embossed it with Versamark ink and silver embossing powder. It’s punched out with the 1-1/2″ Circle Punch. Using the Layering Circles Framelits, I cut a circle using Silver Glimmer Paper. I attached the greeting with Fast Fuse because when using glimmer paper, you need a heavy duty glue. I used the Fast Fuse again and attached it to the card!
Retiring List
Three products from my card are on the retiring list, soon to be gone:
Winter Wonder Embossing Folder
Cheers to the Year stamp set – available in wood and clear
Seasonal Chums Clear & Wood Mount Bundle: This stamp set and the Framelits are NOT retiring BUT the bundle is and when you purchase a bundle, you save 10%. If you know you want to purchase these two, I would do it as soon as possible. I’m not sure if Stampin’ Up! has a set amount set aside at the bundle price so this special price could be gone quickly.
All of these items can be found in the product list below. The embossing folder is while supplies last and the stamp set will still be available until December 21st and then it will be while supplies last. If you click on any of the products, you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store!
Use the host code this month and I’ll send you kits to make all three of these cards! All of the paper in the kits is cut, scored, punched, embossed and die cut for you! Stamped images are not included per Stampin’ Up! policy. If your order reaches $50, I’ll also send a package of pearls. If your order is over $150, please don’t use the code as you’ll be able to get Stampin’ Rewards from Stampin’ Up! You’ll still receive your kit from me. If you’d like more details, click here!
