Stamparatus Bag coming soon!

"A tool as beloved and important as the Stamparatus deserves its own special treatment. And what better way to treat your most versatile stamping companion than by giving it its own special carrying and storage solution. Introducing the Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag! It’s finally here!"  

I was excited when I saw this information sent to demonstrators from Stampin' Up!.  The Stamparatus now has it's own carry bag.  As a demonstrator I was able to preorder mine yesterday, and the good news for any of you that have your own Stamparatus is that even if you are not a demonstrator you can still order one for yourself starting December 5th.  

Here is more information about ordering below:

Item # for the Carry & Craft Bag is #149695 and retails for $29. 

If you do not already have the Stamparatus you can purchase both the tool and the bag using

Item #151961 and together they both retail for $78.

Another reminder is the release of several new tools to help you when using your Stamparatus.  You can see them here at my Online Store and also below.

Next Stamparatus Reservation Window is tomorrow, December 5th

 

If you tried to reserve your Stamparatus during the last reservation window but were shut out, I'm happy to report that Stampin' Up! has changed the way this next reservation window will happen.  Here is what they have said:

Change in Stamparatus Reservation Windows

The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided us with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn’t be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that we’ve decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.

As was previously announced, the second reservation window will remain open from December 5–30; however, during this reservation period we will take as many orders as we receive (yay!) 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!

Please note the following changes:

• Beginning 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. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
• In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.
• Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. 

Please note what has not changed:

• If you reserved more than one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.
• If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.
• The reservation window will open at 2:00 PM (MT) on December 5. 

So if you want to reserve our Stamparatus you can place your reservation starting 2:00 PM Mountain Time, which for most of my customers will be 4:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, December 5th and until December 30th.  If you do not reserve it during that time frame you can order when the new Annual Catalog comes out June 1, 2018.   If you haven't watched the video I posted before I will show it again so you can see this great product. 

Stamparatus!

Stampin' Up! is introducing a new tool called "Stamparatus".  This product will help you in so many ways when it comes to creating your cards.  Watch the video below that explains how the product works and read below for some ordering information.

So to sum it up this tool will:

• 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.

In addition it is compatible with Stampin’ Up!’s red rubber and photopolymer stamp, comes with a foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps, and has rulers and gridlines for quick measuring.

It has 2 open sides so you can stamp on larger paper as well as 2 reversible plates for a total of 4 surfaces to work with.  It also comes with 2 magnets to hold your paper in place and has a magnet storage area on the back.  The retails price is $49.00.

Okay. I’ve gotta have one. How do I get in line?

With the launch of this tool, Stampin' Up! is trying something different and is testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and they will guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in their warehouse. You can place your reservations during 3 reservation windows listed below, and receive your product in a specific time frame that goes with your reservation window. This system will allow Stampin' Up!  to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.

The global launch will feature three reservation windows. For each window, please note the following:

• Reservation quantities are while supplies last.
• Limit 1 tool per customer per reservation window. 
• You may participate in multiple reservation windows.
• In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information.
• Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility. When you close your order, be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.

Reservation Windows	Available to Ship
November 16–30, 2017	Approx. February 1, 2018
December 5–30, 2017	Approx. March 19, 2018
January 15–30, 2018	Approx. April 15, 2018
