Hammock In The Trees with a Stamparatus

The In the Trees stamp set is has a lovely tree and lots of things to build scenes with. There are several things to hang between two of the trees, but how do you get the spacing just right? Enter the Stamparatus. This set was made to use with this amazing new tool – not that you have to us it, but it sure makes things a lot easier. See, the Stamparatus has hinges, and the plates (there are 2 reversible ones) come out and can be moved down one hinge space at a time. So with this stamp set, you stamp the tree, then step down 3 hinges and stamp again. Now the hammock, lights, etc. fit perfectly between the trees!

If you didn’t get a Stamparatus during the November and December reservation windows, don’t fret. It will be in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog that goes live June 1. Can’t wait that long to play with one? Come to one of my Stamparatus Classes, April 13 or May 11.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

  • Old Olive card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
  • Early Espresso CS layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
  • Whisper White CS layer cut to 5-3/16″ x 3-15/16″ (the same as the Early Espresso layer, then cut 1/16″ off the width and off the height.
  • Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card

Stamped with the In The Trees stamp set:

  • tree in Old Olive and Early Espresso inks – once at the far right of the Whisper White layer, and again 3 hinge steps to the left
  • hammock in Crumb Cake ink between the trees
  • sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the front of the card base
  • NOTE: If you don’t have your Stamparatus yet, I recommend stamping one tree, then the hammock, then the other tree.

Colored using a Blender Pen:

  • filled in tree trunks with Early Espresso ink
  • filled in hammock with Crumb Cake ink
  • NOTE: I mostly just spread around the ink from the stamped images.

Assembled the card:

  • burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
  • Whisper White CS layer glued onto the Early Espresso CS layer
  • Early Espresso CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base

Stampin’ Up! Stamparatus Coming Soon!

coming soon - order your Stampin' Up! Stamparatus from Stamp Candy

Hi Stampers,

I am so EXCITED that I’m bursting at the seams!!  This revolutionary new stamp positioner – the Stamparatus – was unveiled to us at Stampin’ Up! OnStage last week.  They made us keep it all a secret until today – but now the “cat’s out of the bag” and you want to be sure to get in line for this one!  It’s awesome!!

Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!

  • 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

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 USD/$65.00 CAD

Okay. I’ve gotta have one. How do I get in line?

With the launch of this tool, we’re 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.

The global launch will feature two reservation windows. The remaining window is December 5-30, 2017. The tools will ship in the order in which the reservations are received, so order soon! This is the last chance you’ll have to order the Stamparatus until the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog goes live in June 2018. Unless you join my team, in which case you’ll be able to preorder from the new Annual Catalog in May!

For each reservation window, please note the following:

  • Limit is 1 tool per person per reservation window.
  • Customers may participate in both reservation windows.
  • In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information, so have it handy.
  • Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility. When you close your order, be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.
