Hello again – happy Saturday! It is one gorgeous day here on the East coast and I am enjoying the freshness of the air. I am creating my post while on the front porch 🙂 It has been so exceedingly hot lately that I would not have even considered doing this earlier in the week. But here we are… I hope you have something fun planned for today.
My card today is super easy – and uses the new (out Aug 3 in the Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog) Cork 12 x 12 DSP. I like using our Note Cards & Envelopes, so this is one of those. Here’s the cork is a close-up photo.
Can you see the wonderful texture in this cork? It’s easy to work with. I’ve layered this on Pear Pizzazz and adhered them both to the Basic White Note Card with liquid glue. I then die cut a Basic White piece using the Tailor Made Tags Dies and stamped it with the Dragonfly Garden stamp with Early Espresso ink. I love this stamp! It is one of my favorites. I then colored it using various Markers: Pear Pizzazz, Bumblebee, Highland Heather and Soft Suede. I added a sweet Bumblebee trinket and then some Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card. Simple, sweet and it would make a nice gift set if several were made. I may do that – we’ll see. If I do, I would probably put them in a similarly decorated mini Paper Pumpkin box. Hmmm – another project, another post 🙂
Here you can see the finished project. With the envelope I covered the flap with Subtles 6×6 DSP in Pear Pizzazz and stamped the front with the same stamp but chose not to color it. It’s beautiful as is.
If you do not have a demonstrator and need a Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog, please reach out to me – happy to send one to you. And when I send it, there will be a Sale-a-bration catalog in with it! That means more FREE items to choose from with every order of $50, or $100 or multiples of that. Please also use my current host code 4TKMUNQH when ordering. I offer my customers a free item from Stampin’ Up! valued to $10 with your order of $50 and above. Click here to go my store. When the order is over $150, you still receive that free gift from me, but SU! has Stampin’ Rewards that may be used for additional products, so don’t use the host code at that time. If you have questions just let me know. If you would like to be able to order products early from catalogs AND enjoy that 20% discount, join my team now… you may do that here. We have lots of fun and are a creative bunch that encourages & supports one another. Would love to have you!

Remember that Aug 3 is the start of the Jul-Dec 2021 Mini Catalog.
During a portion of the mini catalog, there are also Sale-a-bration opportunities. What that means is when you purchase $50 or $100 worth of products, SU! is offering FREE product in the way of stamps, paper and even a die that are only offered during this time frame: Aug 3 – Sep 30. In other words, purchasing any SU! product during the time of Sale-a-bration will get you FREE product! And remember – you also get an item of choice valued at $10 from me when your purchase is $50 plus (before tax & shipping)
Below is some information about a Sales Tax Holiday for particular states – this is the perfect time to purchase both DSP and then in August use that same opportunity to order from me in the new Jul – Dec 2021 Mini Catalog 😁
US SCHOOL SUPPLY SALES TAX HOLIDAY
Eleven states will be offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July or August. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates, click here.
Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in order to receive these items tax-free (which is midnight on the first day to midnight on the last day of the tax holiday). Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.
If you have customers who live in states who benefit from the sales tax holiday (yay!), be sure to give them a call and let them know.
Note: Georgia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday for this year.
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day. Inspire. Create. Share. Nothing beats a handmade card!
