SU Christmas Quilt for the Fourth of July!

November 17, 2017

I got out my Christmas Quilt Bundle to play with this week.

Actually, I have not really stamped any of the cool images per se,

but the FRAMELITS, be still my heart…

Although its name includes Christmas, it is a quilt so…it can be used all year long!

My mind kept thinking Americana…so here is what I came up with for the Fourth of July or most importantly- Memorial Day as a thank you card for someone who serves or served our country.

Please forgive my lack of noticing the stray Snail Adhesive peeking through the corners on the top…photos are so revealing.

Why post a Fourth of July- Memorial Day card right before Thanksgiving?

Well, it is in the Holiday catalog so who knows if it will stick around?

Isn’t that cute little star in the middle neat?

It comes from the Quilted Christmas DSP- thanks Kay Kalthoff for the idea! I used the Happy Birthday Thinlits for the Gold Foil Happy and th. The die cut 4 comes from the Large Numbers Framelits.

I used the Star of Light stamp set (Christmas stamp in the Annual Catalog) to mimic fireworks and added a great  sentiment from the Marquee Messages Stamp Set.

Why do I have to reserve?

With the launch of this tool, Stampin’ Up is trying something different: testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.

Just imagine….a versatile tool…the Stamparatus!

November 15, 2017

Tomorrow is the day! You can reserve your STAMPARATUS! 


IMAGINE being able to:

  • stamp perfect, clean images with no edges
  • set up and easily make multiple stamped items
  • use with both photopolymer and red rubber stamps
  • have a built in ruler on the tool
  • have FOUR plates to work with – set it up and create not only two-step stamping but four-step stamping
  • have open ends so you can stamp on larger surfaces

    *To be ready to reserve one for yourself, you will need to create a Stampin’ Up account with a login IF you haven’t created one before.  There will be a page to choose your demonstrator. If you want me as your demo, look for Cindy Brumbaugh in the zip code 34786. I live in the Pittsburgh area and Orlando area but my demonstrator site is in FLA:)))

Here’s a little Q&A that might be helpful:

 Q: How do I reserve my Stamparatus during one of the reserve periods?

A: Normally you order Stampin’ Up! products through the online store; in this case, you will click the “RESERVE” link on the Stamparatus page which will take you to the reservation page.

Q: What if I do not have a Stampin’ Up! customer account?

 A: To reserve a Stamparatus, you must have a customer account. To create one, click Create Account on the online store.  OR just let me know you want one and with what credit card you want to hold it on.  It will not take the money or hold the money from your account.  It’s like a hotel reservation.  You won’t be charged til it ships.

 Q: Why does it take so long for the Stamparatus to ship? 

A: We will place an order with the manufacturer based on how many reservations are made during any given reservation window. Shipping dates depend on how long it takes the order to arrive in our warehouse after the tools have been manufactured.

 Q: Am I billed at the time I reserve my Stamparatus?

A: No. However, a credit card is required to reserve the product.

Q: When will I be charged for the Stamparatus?

A: When inventory arrives in the warehouse, we will add your reservation to a shopping cart. We will then send you an email notifying you that your Stamparatus order is ready. Once you finalize payment and close your order, the system will charge your credit card.

 Q: Will I be able to add other products to my Stamparatus reservation?

A: No. However, once your reservation is transferred to your shopping cart, you will then be able to add other items to your order. Important note: Please do not delete the Stamparatus from your order. We will not be able to add it back and you will lose your reservation.

Q: Will I be able to update my address and credit card information when I open my shopping bag to complete my order?

A: Yes.

 Q: What if I change my mind and want to cancel my reservation?

A: You can cancel your reservation at any time. To cancel, please see the How to Reserve Your Stamparatus Tutorial for Customers PDF.

Q: Will the tool be available in the 2018–2019 annual catalog?

A: Yes. Once the annual catalog ordering period begins, you will be able to order the Stamparatus as you would any other product. Reservations will no longer be required, and there will be no limit on the number of tools you can order.

 Q: Once the Stamparatus has been added to my shopping cart, how long will it stay there?

A:Indefinitely. As with all products, it will be subject to temporary interruptions in availability depending on demand.

Q: When I close my order, can I take advantage of current Stampin’ Up! promotions?

A: Yes.

 Q:Can I participate in all three reservation periods?

A: Yes.

 Q: How many stamp placement tools can I reserve per reservation window?

A: For customers, there is a limit of 1 per reservation window.
