Stamparatus Reservation Window Ends December 30!!!!

This Stampin’ Up! video demonstration gives you an up close look at the features and benefits of the Stamparatus.  
Plus, it's just $49!!!
One of the biggest moments of the On-Stage event in November was when CEO Sara Douglass introduced the Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus stamp positioning tool.  We were over the moon with the possibilities and genius put into making this the best stamp positioning tool on the market. 
Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!
  • Make multiples with ease
  • Consistently stamp crisp, clean images
  • If you want a darker impression, apply more ink and restamp—no need to start over
  • Make fewer mistakes, saving time and money
  • Easily create 2-step, 3-step, and 4-step stamped images using reversible plates
  • Develop new and specialized stamping techniques with adjustable stamping plates and precision placement
  • Compatible with Stampin’ Up!’s red rubber and photopolymer stamp
  • Foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps
  • Rulers and gridlines for quick measuring
  • 2 open sides so you can stamp on larger paper
  • 2 reversible plates: a total of 4 surfaces to work with
  • 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
  • Magnet storage areas underneath

    RESERVATION WINDOW OPEN UNTIL DECEMBER 30
    During this reservation period we will take as many orders as we receive 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!  Orders will begin to ship March 19, we 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.

    You must log into your customer account on the Stampin' Up! website and have your credit card ready to make your reservation.

    Alaska Achievers December Blog Hop

    Thank you for joining us for our December Alaskan Achievers blog hop. Those hopping today are Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive trip. We will be hopping together once a month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin' Up!® products. I live in Minnesota in the US and would love to help you if you have any questions.

    You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity or may have come from the person previous to me in the list.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the fun. At the moment you are visiting Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity.

    We have so many amazing ideas and want to make sure you get to see the projects so that you can get some ideas on how to use the awesome Stampin' Up! items.  Here is the project that I designed for our hop today.
    For those of you who don't know I have a fun sign up where you can receive a birthday card from me each year.  I absolutely love making and sending out cards!  So I need A LOT of Birthday cards...that being said I use a lot of pre-cut card bases then embellish and add my own sentiment to them.  
    These cards use some silver and gold pre-cut card bases.  I added the Year of Cheer Specialty Design Series Paper.  It was one of my favorites from the Holiday Catalog.  Then some washi tape, ribbon, enamel dots, black rhinestones and voila' a fabulous birthday card :)
    The sentiment comes from the Labels to Love Stamp Set that I just LOVE! And it coordinates with two of the Stampin' Up! punches...the Pretty Label Punch and the upcoming new Tailored Tag Punch.
    There is still time to get these retiring items from the Holiday catalog.  Make sure to stock up on all your favorites before January 2, 2018.  Live in the US?  Then make sure to sign up to receive a birthday card from me each year by clicking HERE.

    Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss.  Remember that currently you are at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next in the list.

If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity.
    I made this card at the OnStage event in Salt Lake City in November with the new Petal Pallette stamp set that also comes with coordinating thinlits.  It was so much fun to see all the new products and get to be hands on with them as well.  The petal passion design series paper comes in black and white and can then be colored with the Stampin' Blends to match your project, how awesome is that?
    We also got to play with and create tags using the Tutti Frutti Suite!  Those Itty Bitty Fruits punches are the cutest!  You are going to love the coordinating design series paper, ribbon, sequins and washi tape in this suite.  You can begin to order all of these fun new products on January 3...watch for more details after Christmas.

    Pals December Blog Hop

    Welcome to the Pals December 2017 Blog Hop featuring “All that Sparkles and Shines”. Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
    For this card I used the Year of Cheer Design Series Paper and the Star of Light Stamp Set with the coordinating Framelits.  I love how the mix of silver and gold make it so festive!  It reminds me of that old song, you know the one, from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer :)  I can hear Burl Ives voice singing "silver and gold decorations on every Christmas tree" in my head as I am typing this post...lol.
    I heat embossed the sentiment and cut it out using the layering ovals dies.  The silver snowflake comes from the foil snowflake pack in the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  Make sure to get all of your favorite items from the Holiday catalog before they retire on December 31, 2017.

    Thank you so much for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today.  Please take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on January 10, 2018. Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. Don’t forget to leave us a comment. We really like that.

    Kylie's December International Highlights

    http://www.craftykylie.com/2017/07/kylies-international-blog-highlights.html
    Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  I am joining a group that is being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci and you are able to VOTE for my project. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop so please vote for my project.
    http://www.craftykylie.com/2017/07/kylies-international-blog-highlights.html
    Our Theme in December is Flowers! Flowers make us so happy - We have some wonderful stamp sets that highlight flowers and the joy that receiving them gives.
    I love poinsettias at Christmas!  The Christmas Quilt stamp set and coordinating design series paper stack work perfectly for making those Christmas cards with these added poinsettias in the center.  I made two different projects today.  
    For this first card I used the copper foil paper and added the quilted Christmas ribbon for that classic red and green.  The sentiment comes from the Seasonal Chum stamp set and is punched out using the 3/4 inch circle punch.  The flower in the center is  a sticker that I added some dazzling diamonds and gold stamping glitter to using my fine tip glue pen.
    The background ds paper for this card was so pretty that I felt that it really made this card perfect for Christmas with the added poinsettia as well.  The sentiment comes from the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and is punched out using the classic label punch.  How much fun is this Quilted Christmas Suite?  

    Make sure you get it while supplies last until December 31, 2017.

    Thanks so much for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie's blog to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop.  Here are all of the products I used for this card:
