I only just found out about the Stamparatus from Stampin Up, so I just wanted to share the info here. I am not a Stampin Up demonstrator, just a happy card maker, and I must say I love the things this stamp positioner can do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3teCr7Xo4G8&t=4s

My friend sent me a link also. If I stamped more I would be getting one. It's such a great idea.

I love hinge technique. I’m tempted to get one. How much does this one cost?

A thread about it is also on the Stamping board.
There are things I like about it, but I do have concerns that, because the open sides have no support at all, the lids might break. They do warn that you cannot store it with the lids in place.
I like the hinge stamping, and I like that it has the two lids. Those are cool features.
My TH platform works well for me, though, so I will resist the temptation to spend another $50, at least till it has been out for awhile. Besides, it seems to be in high demand at the moment, so I will defer to those who want it more than I do.

Thanks for posting it. A friend sent me an email link about it. Looks interesting. I await the verdict of the Peas.
Off to check the stamping post.

I think the hinges and 2 lids are very innovative but am very happy with my TH platform so will pass.

In the video the lady did say the lids needed to be removed to store because the plates at least the top one doesn’t close all the way. I so want this I have both the misti and tim holtz version like you said I don’t need another stamp platform.

I'm gonna preface this with I am a Stampin' Up demo: when I first heard about the new platform, I kept thinking how different could it be? Well I was impressed when they showed the video. I like the 4 stamping sides- great for the layered stamps (like Altenew). I like the open sides to do other sized projects. I like the example they show with moving the plates up and down to create some unique stamping. I like the area on bottom to store magnets in. I like that they used a bar magnet instead of the circles. Overall, I think it is a well thought out product. Preordering is going like mad, first window sold out in 15 minutes.....There is a second preorder window coming up. And then one after that. It will be in the catalog that comes out in June so all these are preorders, I hope they have enough to launch with the new catalog. I think it will sell well. I didn't preorder....YET>....but I might.

I agree with scrapnana about no lid support on the one corner. I am surprised SU was concerned about larger projects as they are basically about card making. I also wonder about the snap in hinges. How many snap ins and outs before they break, or get so loose they no longer stay in?

How many snap ins and outs before they break, or get so loose they no longer stay in? Totally valid concerns! I was just excited about the innovative features (2 lids and lids being able to move). Hoping that they construct it solidly.

it looks great but I have the TH stamping platform and that is working well for me. The one issue I don't care for is that you can't store it with the hinged sides closed...

I wish I hadn't JUST bought the TH Platform! I'd still be waiting for reviews but I don't think I will be going for it anytime soon.

I’ll trade Tim holtz one for the stamparatus. Unfortunately I don’t need a 3rd stamping platform.

How many snap ins and outs before they break, or get so loose they no longer stay in? The no support at the open corner is what has me concerned. With no support in that corner, it's the repeated pressure of stamping over time that makes me think it could cause the lid to crack, not just the storage issue. The hinges possibly breaking is a concern I had not thought of. I am a bit shocked that SU closed the pre-order window after only 15 minutes. For those who want the Stamparatus, that must have been very disappointing. I assume it has to do with manufacturing limitations, but even with 2 more pre-order opportunities, I suspect they are going to have some frustrated reps and customers.

What I’ve read the manufacturer limited the first run to 27,000 units. No clue if this is true and/or they’ll be increasing the number when the next reservation period opens up Dec 5th. In regards to the quality of the product, I can only go by current and former SU! tools. I have found the tools to be high quality and their customer service is superior if you have issues w/ a product.

You can reserve your Stamparatus tomorrow, December 5th at 2pm (MT). Stampin' Up! is not limiting the number of reservations this time...WooHOo! But the longer you wait to order the item, the longer it will be before it ships to you. You can find out more details HERE and see a video on what it does.

I’m a sucker for ordering scrappy stuff. I have never preordered anything before but I did this time. Probably won’t get it until April though. I’m glad I already have the Misti and the Tim Holtz version. I might donate one of these eventually.

I can see where it would be handy if you were making multiple cards with the same images. But I’m not much of a card maker so I’m good with my TH platform. I also have the Stampoholic which I bought before the TH one came out. I will say that the ease of the platforms got me to use my stamps more often.
