Lots of Big News

WOW!!  What a great time I had at On Stage.  I spent 3+ days with my sister, Tina, my daughter, Katie, two team members, Sandi & Wendy, two sister demos, Amanda & Leslie and a demo friend, Cathy.  We learned lots, had lots of fun, came home with new products and ready to show you lots of fun new things.  I’ll share a few more pictures tomorrow but today I want to introduce you to a fabulous new tool that was introduced to us at On Stage.  I was part of a group of demonstrators that worked with Stampin’ Up! to produce this new tool called the Stamparatus!!!

The Stamparatus is a fabulous new stamp placement tool.  It will help you line up a stamped image or stamp an image over and over and over in just the right spot.  Check out Stampin’ Up!’s video giving you 5 Things You Should Know About the Stamparatus!!!

Here’s just a few reasons why you NEED the new Stamparatus!!!

  • 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
    Here’s a few product details!

    • 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
    • Retail Price–$49.00 US

I will post more information on the Stamparatus on Thursday, November 16th — this is the first day you can RESERVE your very own Stamparatus (they won’t ship until February).

This tool is amazing and you are definitely going to want to reserve one right away.  Watch for more details and a link to reserve your own Stamparatus on Thursday.

On Stage Fun in Salt Lake City

What a fabulous couple of days I have had.  I am in Salt Lake City for Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event.  We’ve never been here in November — much cooler than the trips we have taken in July.

Stampin’ Up! kicked off their 30th Anniversary at this On Stage!!

We started Thursday afternoon getting checked in and received our On Stage bag filled with goodies.

Then we headed off to Main Stage for presentations by Sara Douglass, Shelli Gardner and other Stampin’ Up! employees.  There are approximately 2,200 demonstrators here in the Salt Palace.  That’s a lot of people in one place.

My daughter, Katie, and sister, Tina, are both here along with two of my team members and two of Tina’s.  Katie takes a selfie of her and I at each event we attend.  Here is this year’s picture (love our mom and daughter time together).

We received a copy of the upcoming Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration brochure.  There are some fabulous new products coming out — you are going to love it.

Yesterday morning, Tina presented in front of all 2,200 demos in attendance.  She demonstrated a new stamp set coming out.  What a wonderful job she did — she is a natural at presenting.  It was great to be here and watch her perform.

We ended the evening with a team dinner — all seven of us laughing the night away.  We still have one more day to go — I can’t wait.  Next year we will finish up the 30th Anniversary with OnStage in Orlando, Florida.  You could join us there next year.  I would love to talk to you about the possibilities.
