Stampin' Up! Magnetic Platform Backorder Update

July 17, 2013

Magnetic-Platform-pic

Through Thursday, July 18...it will be the last chance for you to purchase the wildly popular Big Shot Magnetic Platform (130658).  That is, at least until fall.  

Due to the huge demand, the Magnetic Platform has been on backorder for sometime now.  Stampin' Up! is working with their supplier who is working at capacity to meet the demand.

Due to the backorder situation, the Big Shot Magnetic Platform will be temporarily turned off starting Thursday, July 18, at 12:01 AM (MT).  At that point, it won't be available for purchase until sometime this fall.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Here are answers to some of the questions you might have:

When will the Magnetic Platform be available again?

We expect that it will be available early fall.

What if I already ordered it when it was on backorder?
We'll fill all closed backorders as we get more Magnetic Platforms in. We are receiving periodic shipments from our vendor and as soon as they come in we'll fulfill orders in the approximate order they were received. 

Remember, you have until Thursday, July 18, at 12:01 AM (MT) to order the Magnetic Platform.  It will be placed on backorder.  However, that gets in you in the queue.

Video: Stampin' Up! Flower Shop Bundle Mounting Tips

July 15, 2013

Been getting a few questions on how to mount Stampin' Up!'s Flower Shop stamp set for successful punching with the NEW Pansy Punch.  Good question! 

Flower-Shop-Bundle

132727 Flower Shop Bundle (wood mount) $33.95
132726 Flower Shop Bundle (clear mount) $28.75

At first glance - the flower petals appear to be the same.  However, they are not.  On today's video, I show you which petal is slightly different and tips for mounting that can be used for both wood and clear mount.

Label Love Bundle: Just For You!

July 09, 2013

Last month I met with my DOstamperSTARS for a shoebox swap.  As happens a lot, I get to chatting and find myself with not enough time to finish everyone's swap (but I have a great time visiting!).  So for a couple of cards, I end up stamping and grabbing the supplies, and finish them up later.  Well, later was finally this weekend to make this Label Love Bundle card. 

stampin up, dostamping, dawn olchefske, label love, 2013/2014 In Colors

This was actually the supplies for Cheryl Owczarek's card.  It included all 5 of the NEW 2013/2014 In Colors and the Label Love stamped/punch image (I added Bakers Twine).  I couldn't recall what it looked like, so I came up with something on my own.  

It was kind of fun just taking pre-cut cardstock and playing!  Thanks for the inspiration Cheryl!

Enjoy~Dawn O
