Stamparatus Accessories now available to purchase...

I know that owning a Stamparatus ultimate stamping positioning tool means it was love at first sight for some of you, and I wanted to give you even more to love about this versatile tool by now introducing Stamparatus accessories!

And for the rest of you... first check out the details in this video on the Stamparatus here... you won't regret it! How to improve your stamping in one simple step...

So... the 3 new accessories released today are Small Grid Paper... perfectly sized to fit in your tool for perfect alignment every time!

Stamparatus Plates...  Have a few extra plates for quicker stamping of multiple set ups without having to switch stamps out often...  Imagine all the plates I can now have set up for you in classes!! Bliss!! Or just to use as backups.

And Stamparatus Foam Mats. Check your foam mat and know that it can now be replaced when it shows sign of wear... Though I think it will be a while before you need these for your Stamparatus!! 

But I am now going to try these out as an alternative mat method than the thick Stampin Mat ... I think these thinner mats may suit me more when stamping with my photopolymer stamps... Funny how I never thought of that until a spare and perfectly sized grid sheets came along!! Maybe a match made in heaven!

And SU! will continue to offer Stamparatus magnets which were introduced in the 2018-19 Annual Catalogue. But do remember to add Washi or Masking tape to yours before usage... so as to ensure you can pull thm apart... If you didn't then you can replace them !

Stamparatus Reservation Window opens 5th December 9pm UK time...

Don't miss yours... the last window was over subscribed and shut in less than 15 minutes... so things will be different this time...

This second reservation window will remain open from 5–31 December; however, during this reservation period Stampin' Up! will take as many orders as they receive and not close the window until 31 December. But reserve as early as possible... you want to be at the front of the queue!

• The reservation window will open at 9:00 p.m. (GMT) on 5 December.
• Beginning 19 March, Stamparatuses will ship in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in the warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the 5–31 December window will ship on 19 March 
• One reservation per customer 
• There will not be a third window. This is the last chance for you to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018–2019 annual catalogue from June 2018...
• If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.

I can’t wait for you to get your hands on your very own Stamparatus and look forward to seeing the projects you’ll make with this incredible stamping tool.

I hope that there are many more...and that I continue to be part of something so special...
