Stamparatus Update: Wow! The first preorder or reservation window for the Stamparatus sold out very quickly and everyone seems to be excited to get their hands on it. Unfortunately it was only while supplies last because it is still in the manufacturing stage. Stampin’ Up! didn’t want to wait until June, during the 2018-2019 catalog debut, to release the Stamparatus and felt that the reservation system would allow them to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory. I know that many were disappointed that they were unable to reserve one yesterday but the next preorder will be in just a few weeks on December 5th. If you have any questions about this process, let me know.
I fell in love with this card the moment I saw it! Isn’t it gorgeous?? I received it from a new friend I met at On Stage last week, Beth Bolinger. Not only is she an extremely nice person but she creates beautiful cards too!
Beth used the Hometown Greetings Edgelits along with the Hearts Come Home stamp set. These two products can be purchased separately or as a bundle, which will save you 10% and you have the option of clear or wood mount.
Did you notice that Beth embossed the greeting with silver embossing powder, added silver ribbon underneath the sentiment and used it to create the ornament? Just beautiful!
I will list all of the supplies Beth used for her card at the end of my post and you can see all that’s included in the Hearts Come Home Bundle in the video below. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.
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!!
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!
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!
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!
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!

It’s a lot of information and I know it might be a bit confusing!
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.
Isn’t this card so stinkin’ adorable??? I received it in the mail from my team leader, Dawn, and I just love it!
Dawn used the Stampin’ Blendsto color the sweet reindeer from the stamp set, Seasonal Chums. It also has matching Framelits (Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies) and if you purchase both the stamp set and the Framelits, you can save 10%. You can purchase them separately or as a bundle, it’s up to you. Each of the options are listed in my product list below.
Dawn used our Whisper White Notecards which are smaller than a regular sized card. There are 20 in a package and the envelopes are included! Love this cute card!

I love the combination of Lemon Lime Twist and Basic Black and if you follow my blog regularly, you also know that I love the Layered Leaves embossing folder. Today’s card was fairly easy to make but between the vellum leaves, the embossed leaves and the beautiful Painted Autumn DSP, it looks like it took a lot longer to make than it actually did!
Having the right tools makes all the difference. After cutting my Designer Series Paper, I popped it into the Banner Triple Punch and just like that, I had a banner. The Lemon Lime Twist top layer went through the Big Shot in the Layering Leaves embossing folder and using the Leaf Punch, I made 2 vellum leaf branches. I love this punch and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will carry over into the Annual Catalog! I stamped my sentiment onto Very Vanilla cardstock using the stamp set, All Things Thanks and cut it out with the Layering Circles Framelits. I used these same Framelits for the Basic Black scallop underneath the sentiment.
All of the Measurements
Lemon Lime Twist: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score @ 5-1/2″ 3-3/4″ x 5″ for embossed layer
Basic Black: 5-1/4″ x 4″ scrap for the scallop circle under the sentiment
Designer Series Paper: 2″ x 5″
I hope this easy card has inspired you to pull out some paper and create! All of the products I used are listed below. To make a purchase, simply click any of the pictures in the product list. Only until tomorrow, place a minimum $50 order and I’ll send you a FREE Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack. Read all the details below! I’d love to send a package of these awesome pens to you!

Several weeks ago I shared that you can cut out a variety of materials with the Big Shot. My daughter and I cut seventy felt hearts in rainbow colors with the Big Shot because she had a very special project in mind for them.
Have you ever heard the term Rainbow Baby? I hadn’t heard it used until my daughter had a miscarriage several years ago. It was such a heart wrenching experience for her and I wish I could have done something to ease the pain of her loss. I found this definition of a Rainbow Baby and thought it was a beautiful description. “Rainbow Baby is the understanding that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. When a rainbow appears, it doesn’t mean the storm never happened or that the family is not still dealing with its aftermath. What it means is that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy and hope.”
My grandson is my daughter and son-in-laws beautiful Rainbow Baby. He is absolutely precious and has brought such joy into our lives. I can’t imagine life without this very special little boy.
