Cheers to the Year

  • Closing in on Year End
  • Cheers to the Year Suite
  • Stamparatus pre-orders open until December 30, 2017

Year of Cheer


Today's card came together rather quickly and is timed perfectly for you to create your own year end cards.  For years I worked in Marketing with late November/early December filled with deadlines and long hours getting kick-off events and trade shows planned for early January.  Years where I was too busy to send Christmas Cards, I used New Years cards to wish friends and family holiday cheer.  

It finally turned cold in Houston, so shiny tinsel and silver paper seemed appropriate to use today.  From the Year of Cheer Suite, here's an idea.    
  
  



The basecard for today's card is Thick Whisper White, then a layer of Silver Foil sheet.  The Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper includes gold and silver highlights.

The sentiment is from Cheers to the Year, also part of the Year of Cheer Suite.  Its stamped with Versamark and then embossed with Silver embossing powder.     






The numbers were die cut using the Large Numbers Framelits.

Final pre-order Reservation window for Stamparatus stamp positioning tool

  • Pre-Order a Stamparatus stamp positioning tool today
  • Reservation Window to order is now until December 30, 2017

Stamparatus:  Best stamp placement tool on the market


Big news from Stampin' Up! The pre-orders from the first Reservation Window was so successful -- it sold out in 10 minutes -- they've made it easier to pre-order by opening up the pre-order window so everyone can place a pre-order between now and December 30 at 11:40 PM (MT).  While the first pre-order window was while supplies last.  For the December reservation window, they are not limiting the maximum reservations they will accept.  If you pre-order before December 30, you'll get one!

Shipping for the December Stamparatus pre-orders will begin March 19, 2018.  The sooner you place your order, the sooner your available-to-ship date after March 19. This is a change from the original three pre-order windows with limited reservations, and now it will make it easier for everyone to pre-order a Stamparatus.  However, after the close of this reservation window on December 30, this will be the final pre-order window and you will not have the opportunity to purchase a Stamparatus until the June 1, 2018, catalog is released  

If you've ever stamped a partial stamp image or had trouble lining up a two-step or three-step stamp, you will love this new tool.  It is a must-have to place at the top of your Christmas Wish List.  Ask your honey if you can pick your own present this year.  Tell him or her that he or she won't have to fight the crowds to shop for you!  And, since the Stamparatus won't be billed until it ships, you'll have one less expense in December.
