Merry Cafe Christmas Card

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I had a great time eating way too much food and hanging out with people I love. It was a very relaxing time.

With Thanksgiving behind us, Christmas will be here before you know it, in 28 days to be exact! That's right, it's time for us to kick our Christmas card making into gear, at least for those of us who haven't started yet. We know who we are! I'm sure today's project will help with that!


For today's project I used the Merry Cafe Stamp Set. This stamp set brings the warmth and comfort of a hot winter beverage to all your winter projects. But this stamp set is not just for winter projects. It includes a variety of 29 stamps that cross the months of the calendar. You are sure to find yourself reaching for it over and over again. The possibilities are limited only by your creativity. If you haven't already added this fabulous stamp set to your craft room, what are you waiting for? Order it today!

Don't forget that, today only, you get FREE SHIPPING on every single order placed through my online store!

Plus you get a FREE gift from me when you use one of the following hostess codes:
  • Use VSBVQVCB on orders under $50
  • Use BUEYG2SF on orders from $50-149.99
  • Do not use a hostess code on $150+ orders. You will still get a FREE gift from me plus you get to enjoy your own stampin' rewards.

Check out today's project and be inspired to transform paper into a little work of art.



Do you want to learn how to make more projects like this one? And have a chance to earn free products? All while having fun hanging out with your girlfriends? Ask me how you can host your very own Stampin' Up! Party!

Q: How do I reserve my Stamparatus?
A: Normally you order Stampin’ Up! products through the online store; in this case, you will click the RESERVE link on the Stamparatus page which will take you to the reservation page. For step-by-step instructions, please see the How to Reserve Your Stamparatus Tutorial for Customers.

Q: What if I do not have a Stampin’ Up! customer account?
A: To reserve a Stamparatus, you must have a customer account. To create one, click Create Account on the online store.

Q: Why does it take so long for the Stamparatus to ship?
A: We will place an order with the manufacturer based on how many reservations are made during any given reservation window. Shipping dates depend on how long it takes the order to arrive in our warehouse after the tools have been manufactured.

Q: Will the available-to-ship dates be the same for all markets?
A: Yes.

Q: Am I billed at the time I reserve my Stamparatus?
A: No. However, a credit card is required to reserve the product.

Q: When will I be charged for the Stamparatus?
A: When inventory arrives in the warehouse, we will add your reservation to a shopping cart. We will then send you an email notifying you that your Stamparatus order is ready. Once you finalize payment and close your order, the system will charge your credit card.

Q: Will I be able to add other products to my Stamparatus reservation?
A: No. However, once your reservation is transferred to your shopping cart, you will then be able to add other items to your order. Important note: Please do not delete the Stamparatus from your order. We will not be able to add it back and you will lose your reservation.

A: You can cancel your reservation at any time. To cancel, please see the How to Reserve Your Stamparatus Tutorial for Customers PDF.

Q: Will the tool be available in the 2018–2019 annual catalog?
A: Yes. Once the annual catalog ordering period begins, you will be able to order the Stamparatus as you would any other product. Reservations will no longer be required, and there will be no limit on the number of tools you can order.

Q: Once the Stamparatus has been added to my shopping cart, how long will it stay there?
A: Indefinitely. As with all products, it will be subject to temporary interruptions in availability depending on demand.

Q: When I close my order, can I take advantage of current Stampin’ Up! promotions?
A: Yes.


Q: How many stamp placement tools can I reserve per reservation window?
A: For customers, there is a limit of 1 per reservation window.

Q: How did we come up with the name Stamparatus?
A: We landed on an innovative name by combining two words that speak to the end use of the tool as well as Stampin’ Up! branding.

Stamp: To impress a pattern or mark (especially an official one) on a surface, object, or document using an engraved or inked block or die or other instrument

Apparatus: The technical equipment or machinery needed for a particular activity or purpose

Stamp + Apparatus = Stamparatus

PREORDER FOR THIS CLASS IS NOW CLOSED
If you wish to be informed about upcoming classes simply subscribe to receive my blog updates by clicking the subscribe button on the right. Thank you so much to everyone who ordered my class.

I am excited to announce that preorder for November's Class in the Mail is officially open. This is throwback Class in the Mail and features the Hang Your Stocking Photopolymer Stamp Set and Christmas Stockings Thinlits Dies from the Annual Catalog. These products are no longer offered as a bundle in the catalog, however, when you preorder the BUNDLE ONLY or FULL options I will, exclusively, honor the bundle price! That's a savings of 10%. How awesome is that? Also, for the FIRST TIME EVER this class is offered in a MATERIALS ONLY option! Yay!

The projects in this class are absolutely gorgeous and they will, surely, give us a head start with making Christmas cards and even some tags! The busy Christmas season will soon be upon us and having a little more time to focus on the true meaning of Christmas will make us glad that we got started in November.

Note: A Big Shot (or other die cutting machine) is required for this class and not included with any of the options. Also, the Baker's Twine Trio that was used in the initial class is now retired; therefore, a just as gold and sparkly substitution will be made in it's place.
