You Are Amazing

Hey there! Today I'm sharing some fun watercoloring with you! I don't watercolor very often but it sure is such a fun technique and adds such a unique look to your projects. I watercolored the brilliant butterfly images from the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set using the new 2021-2023 In Colors. I absolutely love this collection of colors!

Basic White Thick card base 4.25" x 11" scored at 5.5"

Basic Black layer 4" x 5.25"

Pro Tip: Use Stazon Ink to stamp your images. I had to order a new pad and it didn't arrive in time for this tutorial so I made due with Memento Tuxedo Black. You can't quite tell in this picture, but the ink bled once I added water. Stazon is a permanent ink so it's perfect for watercoloring.

Congrats, You Are Amazing

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by my sister. Well...inspired for her I guess I should say. She received an unexpected job promotion last week, so I wanted to make her a special card in celebration of her good news! And...I'm so happy with how it turned out. I used the You Are Amazing stamp set, which is amazing itself, lol. I love the little speaking bubble image. It really helps spotlight the sentiment in a fun way. I also used my Stamparatus to help me line everything up. Be sure to watch the video tutorial for tips on how to do this.

Petal Palette March Customer Cards & Gifts

Happy Monday! I'm so excited to share my March customer cards and gifts with you today. Each month I create a handmade card to send to everyone who shopped with me or subscribed to Paper Pumpkin with me the previous month. Along with the card, I include a thank you gift. It means so much to me that you choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and this is one way that I show my appreciation.

This month I made these gorgeous cards featuring the Petal Palette Bundle. I used my favorite retiring In Color- Peekaboo Peach. Aren't the cards stunning! The Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (retiring also) is amazing! I will definitely miss the classic look of these black and white designs.

Watch the VIDEO tutorial for step by step instructions to create these cards.

***Check out the video tutorial for tips on using templates to stamp quickly and efficiently using the Stamparatus.***

Project Measurements

Whisper White thick base 5.5" x 8.5" scored at 4.25"

Designer paper layer 3.5" x 4.5"

Anyone who placed an order in my Online Store during March receives a gift in the mail from me. For March orders less than $75 you receive a decorated mini envelope with 8 Petal Passion Embellishments inside. For orders greater than $75 (placed using the hostess code) you receive the March free gift, Garden Trellis Embossing Folder. This folder was on back-order for a few weeks so some will receive the comparable Petal Burst Embossing Folder.

Thank you so much to everyone who shopped with me during the month of March. I appreciate each of you more than you know! I will be working diligently to get these all packaged up and sent to the post by this evening. Have a marvelous Monday and stop by tomorrow for more project inspiration.

Wait...What is a Stamparatus?!

The Stamparatus is an innovative stamp placement tool. This tool offers precise stamping, every time!

A few fabulous things to know about the Stamparatus...

• *Make multiples with ease
• *Consistently stamp crisp, clean images
• *If you want a darker impression, apply more ink and re-stamp—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

Did you miss the reservation windows? No worries! The Stamparatus will be available to everyone in the new annual catalog coming in June!

Reserve Your Stamparatus Today!

Wowza! The Stamparatus was so popular during the first reservation window, some adjustments have been made to accommodate the demand during the second window. Read the updates below.

Reservation Window Update:

Window: December 5 - 30

(window will open at 2:00 p.m. MST December 5th)

• Beginning March 19, Stampin' Up! 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 the 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 Stampin' Up! is not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, they will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.
