In yesterday’s post, I highlighted the splashy, new products from the Picture Perfect Party Suite. They will be available Jan. 3 when the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog begins. The video above shares a closer look at the birthday card I created with the products as well as tips for layering the sentiment on the candles using the Stamparatus stamp positioning tool – a new way to stamp with precision!
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.

Shop for Stampin’ Up! Uninked Stampin’ Spots to use with ink refills. The smaller size makes inking stamps using the Stamparatus easier.
Amazon Absorber Cleaning Cloth.
Amazon Bar Magnets (Pack of 2). The Stamparatus comes with two bar magnets. However, it’s nice to have these on hand in case you need a backup. Please be careful – magnets can snap with accidental contact.

thanks for the tips on the magnets,,,I’m waiting for my stamparatus to arrive…thanks for the lovely card
You’ll love your Stamparatus, Marge. Thank you for dropping by!
I broke my magnets also on the first card. Glad to hear you could get them from Amazon!! Love your card!!
I think there’s a learning curve for all of us on the magnets. Thanks for sharing, Peg.
Such a fun and fabulous card, Mary! Great tips on the Stamparatus!
Thank you.
You’re welcome. Thanks for your comment, Maureen.
I can’t wait to get mine! Just a little tip though, since the paper you are stamping on a;ready has the image, you can move your paper over so it is not so close to the hinges. Then it shouldn’t matter what size ink pad you use! 😉
I appreciate your tip, Karen!
OK you showed me how I do need this with the less than stellar stamping on the left side of the greeting which I tend to do. Loved the tips and tricks for this as well as seeing new products. I have an Archival Black, I believe, from a Paper Pumpkin kit so I will definitely keep my ink spots from the kits.
Anyway, fun card too. Have a great New Year!
Thanks, Chris R. Hang on to your ink spots!
Hi Mary:
Just watched your stamparjtus video and you mentioned the cleaning cloth – what is the actual name of the product? I live in Canada and Amazon is not as convenient for Canadians as it is for people who live in the USA. I heard a product very similar is sold at Wal Mart in the Automotive section – I’m going to try there first. Is it like a chamois? Can you clean the ink spots or are they like the sponges reuse over and over again in one color.
It’s called the Absorber, Maureen. It’s likely they will have at WalMart!
Thank you.
Great card, fun video! I always love visiting with you while you are stamping.
Thanks, BK! Always nice visiting with you!
Awesome tips on how to use this stamping tool Mary, thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria.
Thanks, Maria. I’m excited to share more tips and feel that the Stamparatus is a must-have for avid stampers!
GREAT video on the Stamparatus tool. The ink spots are PERFECT when using this tool. Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait until the ink spots come. I think they are key! Thanks, Kadie.
