Stamp-a-what?!?!?!

Stamparatus! It's an innovative stamp placement tool developed in partnership with Stampin' Up!s amazing Leader to Leader (L2L) demonstrator team from all over the world.

It’s big news when something breaks the mold and changes everything. The Stamparatus will change the way you stamp, and before long, you’ll wonder how you crafted without it!

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

And if you wonder how it compares to the Misti or the Tim Holtz version here is what I have read:

• 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 - makes 2, 3 or 4-step stamping so EASY!
• Reversible plates are easily removable for greater stamp placement versatility
• 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
• Magnet storage areas

 This tool is perfect if you have arthritis and miss stamping because you can't hold the block!

• Retail Price–$49.00 USD

Sneak Peek - 2013-2014 Idea Book & Catalog

Here is a sneak peek of what is going to be offered in the 2013-2014 Idea Book & Catalog.

• Update: hmmm, my picture disappeared. But that's okay, it's been a "few" years, you want to see the new stuff anyway, right?

Do you see the new stamp set, embossing folder Designer Series Paper and new punch. I read that there will be new envelopes too! I can't wait to see the new catalog.

Product Sneek Peak - This and That

Your life is: Awesome. Quirky. Exciting. Perfectly messy. And happening really fast. So we're happy to introduce our newest product line that lets you capture it all on-the-go. This and That will debut in the 2013-2014 annual catalog, but we're giving you the chance to get it now. See it.

Item	Description	Price
131268	Epic Day This and That Journal	$10.95
130814	Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper	$10.95
130133	Remember This and That Rotary Stamp	$5.95
131271	Epic Day This and That Designer Stickers	$4.95
131269	Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape	$4.95
133350	Epic Day This and That Bundle Includes the five This and That products listed above. Only available in a bundle until April 30.	$32.08 15% Off Retail Value!

Read On . . .

• We're introducing the line with these five products, but we'll be adding more This and That stuff as time goes on.
• Bundle Dates: March 23-April 30 (remember the items that come in the bundle will be available in May and in the new catalog, but we're only offering the discounted bundled until April 30).
• You can get as many This and That products or bundles as you want.
• You can buy the This and That products separately. But why would you do that when you can get all five together and save 15 percent? 
• Did your spidey eyes see that two of our In Colors (Calypso Coral and Pool Party) are included in the products? Your eyes were right. You'll just have to check out the catalog transition information in April to see what that's all about.

The best thing about This and That is it becomes something beautiful and different for everyone! There are many ways it can be used, it's an easy way to "scrapbook" for the young, and young at heart. I'm not a scrapper, and this sounds like something I could and would love to do!

• Use it, love it, and make it yours. Leaving the hairdresser? Tuck your next appointment card right in with some washi tape. Having a girls' day at lunch and the movies? Stash the tickets right there and have each friend write her favorite part of the day. The possibilities are endless, and the goal is perfect imperfection.
• This would make a great gift! I will even gift wrap it for you.
• This and That is great when you use all the products together, but each product is great on its own too! The Designer Series Paper is appealing to you scrapbookers and crafters alike-and everyone will love that awesome stamps. Plus, the other embellishments are so much fun. 

You can purchase yours in my online store by clicking here.

I'm looking forward to getting this and trying it out. You might have also heard this type of "scrapbooking" as creating a Smash Book. We started something like that for my daughter as she starts planning her wedding. We have pictures of the venue, the dress, ribbon and possible table linen choices. It's come in very handy while we have been shopping for those items that every bride just has to have and it has to match!

As soon as I get mine and start using it I'll show you, and report on how I am doing with this new form of scrapbooking.

Thanks for stopping by!
