Woohoo!  Twelve states are having Back-to-School Sales Tax Holidays this year and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states!

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.  So if you live in one of those states take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!

Here is the list of states having sales tax holidays, what the dates are and what supplies will be tax free during the holiday (click on the image to download a full-size printable page):

Please note that you must place your order with Stampin’ Up! during the tax holiday period in your state 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.

For those wondering about Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Hello Thursday! And time for another challenge, this time a sketch challenge, which you see below. I’ve chosen to use the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP for the front image and off-set it with Mossy Meadow card stock behind it.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Sketch 
Challenge w/ Beautiful Gallery

The card base is the wonderful new Cloud Cover which I like more and more. It’s such a wonderful neutral. As I mentioned earlier, I used the Beautiful Gallery 6×6 DSP cut to 3 1/2 4 3/4 and adhered it to Mossy Meadow 3 3/4 x 5 – lop-sided like. These were added to the card base with dimensionals. I used a scrap of Beautiful Gallery DSP to stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink – using Beautiful Motifs stamp set. I adhered this to the card front with dimensionals then added three Pressed Flower Motifs around it. Card front complete!

Stampin' Up! 6/5 Sketch Challenge, Inside card

For the inside I used another piece of the Mossy Meadow cut 3 3/4 x 5 and adhered it lopsided – as is the front. I stamped the sentiment, again from Beautiful Motifs stamp set, in Mossy Meadow ink then added a 1/4″ strip of the same pattern as the card front DSP – to Basic Beige card stock 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. Do those measurements sound familiar? They are the same as the card front pieces :O)

Stampin' Up! 6/5 Hop Sketch Challenge w/ Beautiful Gallery DSP

For the envelope… the remainder of the initially cut piece of Beautiful Motifs 6×6 DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. On the card front I stamped another of the images from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink. I appreciate making cards that can be masculine or feminine and this is one of those.

One of the advantages of being a demonstrator is being able to preorder items and I was able to place an order today that I’ll be able to share with you in a few days – items that will be in the Sep-Dec 2025 Mini Catalog. Really… I can’t wait to share these new products with you! It just MAY encourage ypu to become apart of my team.

Stampin’ Up! Loveliest Tree for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to this fabulous weekly hop. We have a theme challenge today and I’ve created a sympathy card.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree Sympathy card front
Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Theme Challenge

For the card front, I stamped this gorgeous tree using the Loveliest Tree stamp set, Basic Gray ink and Basic White cut 3 1/2 x 4 3/4. After stamping, I used a Blending Brush to gently add color all around the edges of the card. I added this panel to Basic Gray cut 3 3/4 x 5, put dimensionals on the back and attached it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, creating a top fold card. For this sentiment, I stamped using Basic Gray ink and the Loveliest Tree stamp set on a scrap of Basic White, then die cut it with Tailor Made Tags Dies. I used Bakers Twine Essential Pack to thread through the hole and frayed the ends. I put dimensionalson this tage and added it to the card front.

For the inside of the card, I used Basic Gray ink, but also used the Comforting Thoughts stamp set for the sentiment and the small leaf image from Loveliest Tree stamp set – stamped on a Basic White panel 3 1/2 x 4 3/4, adhered to Basic Gray 3 3/4 x 5, then popped into the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Loveliest Tree sympathy card inside

For the envelope… I stamped this sweet leaf image from Loveliest Tree in Basic Gray ink both on the flap and on the front of the envelope. Simple, elegant, peaceful.

Stampin’ Up! Sunrise Sailing for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Welcome to Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop. Today’s challenge is ‘for the boys/ men’ and I’ve created a sailing card. This is a favorite hobby for my hubby & several of his buddies – me too. Having said that – there are LOTS of women who sail so don’t discount them for competition!!!

Stampin' Up! Amy's Inkin' Krew Blog Hop icon
Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing card front

I started with a Secret Sea card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 with the fold to the left. The Sunrise Sailing bundle includes a hybrid embossing folder, which means it embosses but can also die cut certain images with coordinating dies – and that’s what I did, I used a Basic White panel about 6×6 (the embossing folder is large), added the sailboat die cutting side up in the proper place on the embossing folder, and ran it through my die cutting/ embossing machine. And what happens? A gorgeously embossed background and a die cut sailboat. :O) With Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush, I gently highlighted the clouds and the bottom of the boat. I switched inks to first Misty Moonlight then Secret Sea to highlight the water with a Blending Brush. I stamped the sails of the boat with Real Red ink – still using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set. There are bird dies in this Sunrise Sailing Dies, so I cut 3 birds from Basic Black card stock, added the two to the front covering the embossed birds, and reserved the other bird for the inside of the card. I cut down the embossed Basic White panel to 4 x 5 and adhered it to a Balmy Blue 4 1/8 x 5 1/8. I added the sailboat over the opening with dimensionals. These were added to the Secret Sea card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink on a Basic White scrap, fussy cut it and added it to the card front with glue. Of course it was from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set! Final touch – 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing card inside

For the inside… I had a leftover piece of the water that had been highlighted with Misty Moonlight & Secret Sea and adhered that to a 4 x 5. I adhered the remaining bird from the die cut birds- Sunrise Sailing Dies of course – as though it was ‘fishing’ for it’s lunch. This I added to a Balmy Blue panel 4 1/8 x 5 1/8, then to the inside of the card.

Stampin' Up! Sunrise Sailing card & envelope

For the envelope… I embossed a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock 2 1/4 x 6 with the So Swirly embossing folder (more water image), adhered it to the flap & trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped this water image in Misty Moonlight ink then the birds in Secret Sea – these come from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle . WooHoo! Love this set – so versatile, easy to use, and fabulous.

Stampin’ Up! Country Woods & Textured Notes for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Happy Thursday and welcome to this special hop. We have a sketch challenge today and I’ve used the Country Woods DSP & the Textured Notes stamp set to create it.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday sketch challenge
Stampin' Up! Textured Notes card front

I began with a Thick Basic White card base standard A2 size. Using the Textured Notes stamp set, I stamped these awesome leaves: the smaller ones in Crushed Curry and the larger ones in Memento ink. For the first card I cut he Country Woods DSP 1 1/4 x 5 1/2 and attached that to a panel of Basic Gray 1 1/2 x 5 12, put dimensionals on the back and added it to the card, centering the panel. My last step was to add Iridescent Floral Gems.

The sentiment is stamped in VersaMark ink using the Textured Notes stamp set, sprinkled with white WOW embossing powder & heat set it with the heat gun. I popped it up with dimensionals.

For the inside… on a Basic White panel 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the smaller leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set in Crushed Curry ink and stamped again without reinking. I did that on the top left of the panel and the bottom right, then adhered it to the inside of the card. This card seems like a masculine card to me & I love the versatility of it.

For the envelope front I stamped the smaller leaves from the Textured Notes stamp set in Crushed Curry ink and continued stamping without reinking – inked the stamp and did the same on the flap. then followed the same process on the flap.

Stampin' Up! Textured Notes card & envelope

On the second card I used the very same process but the card base is Smoky Slate and the DSP is just a teeny bit wider – maybe 1 3/8 x 5 1/2 and the attached paper is Crushed Curry 1 1/2 x 5 1/2. Everything else is the same. :o) The sentiment is stamped in VersaMark ink using the Textured Notes stamp set, sprinkled with white WOW embossing powder & heat set it with the heat gun. I popped it up with dimensionals.

I prefer the first card – what is your preference?

Get Notified When Products Are Back in Stock!

One request we hear often is, “Can I get notified when an unavailable item comes back in stock?” We are excited to announce that in the next week or so, you will be able to do just that! 

If a product is currently unavailable, a box will appear above the product detail where you can request an email notification when/if the product returns. This feature will be available to demonstrators, customers, and guests. If you are logged in as a demonstrator or customer, your email address will automatically populate, with the option to edit it if needed. Guests will need to enter their email address manually. 

After your preferred email address is entered, check the box to agree to receive the notification email, then click Notify Me. You will then receive a confirmation email that includes the item number and name of the product you signed up to be notified about. If you change your mind, you can click the unsubscribe button in the confirmation email and it will unsubscribe you only from that specific product notification.

When/if the product becomes available, you will receive a single email notifying you it’s back in stock. The email will include the item number, name, and an image of the product. If the product sells out again, you will need to sign up again to be notified when/if it returns. Perfect, right?!

The Latest on Cloud Cover Ink

The clouds have parted, and we have more to share about our new In Color, Cloud Cover. In the March 18 Weekly Update, we announced we wouldn’t release the Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pad (165284) and Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279) with our 2025–2026 Annual Catalog preorder. This was due to unforeseen quality issues—the ink color was shifting beyond our quality parameters.  Since our initial announcement, we’ve been hard at work researching the matter. Here’s what we know: 

  • A chemical reaction between our Cloud Cover ink formula and the chemical makeup of the firm foam used in our Classic Stampin’ Pads has been determined to be the cause of the color shift.  
  • Such a reaction is rare, but the chemistry can play tricks, even after development and our rigorous quality testing.  
  • Because this was an unforeseen issue, we are unable to predict when the shift in color will occur. In one batch of pads, the color accuracy met quality standards. In another, the shift is too significant to pass our tests. Because we pride ourselves on offering beautiful coordinating colors, this inconsistency simply won’t do. Therefore, we will not release Cloud Cover Classic Stampin’ Pads to customers.  

Classic Stampin’ Pad aside, there IS a Cloud Cover ink option for customers—Stampin’ Spots!

  • Classic Stampin’ Spot Small Assortment 1 (166716) – this includes Real Red, Petal Pink, Garden Green, Cloud Cover & Early Espresso

OR

  • Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (165279)
  • Uninked Stampin’ Spots (141822)

May you have a beautiful day. Thanks for stopping by.

Stampin’ Up! Florals in Bloom for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Welcome to this fantastic Thursday Hop! We have a color challenge today for the hop… hope you enjoy what you see today.

Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop
Stampin' Up! Hop Sketch Challenge
Stampin' Up! Florals in Blooms card front

Oh what a fun, bright, feminine card… and I absolutely love this Florals in Bloom DSP! Here’s what I did… I cut a panel of the DSP 2 3/4 x 4, then cut on the short side @ 1 1/2, trimming that to create two panels 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 & 1 3/4 x 2 1/2. That leaves a 1″ strip which I cut @ 2 1/2, leaving a 1 1/2 pice. I adhered these directly to the Summer Splash 3 x 4 1/4, then to Darling Duckling 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. I wrapped a Strawberry Slush Twine around two times & tied a bow. This twine is from a Bakers Twine 3 color pack. Over this I added the sentiment on dimensionals from Greetings for All Ephemera Pack. I embossed a Basic White piece 4 x 5 1/4 using the Birchwood 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the Thick Basicb White card base (8b 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. I attached the front panel with dimensionals and bingo, the front was complete.

Stampin' Up! Florals in Bloom w/ Pretty Florals stamp set

For the inside… On another Basic White panel cut 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the outline of the flowers in full strength Strawberry Slush, then stamped the fill in flowers in stamped off once Strawberry Slush. I stamped the stem/ leaves stamp in Granny Apple Green. And the sentiment – from the Greetings for All Ephemera Pack. Adhere the panel to the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Book Binder Fault Line card

Hello folks – this is my 2nd post for the day and here it is the day before May Day – May 1 – and I’m excited to share this fun fold. It’s made with retiring Country Lace DSP to create the fault line technique :O)

Stampin' Up! BookBinder Fault Line card front

Begin with a Crumb Cake card base 4 1/4 x 11 scored @ 5 1/2 & @ 6 1/2. Burnish the 5 1/2 then burnish the 6 1/2 bringing it forward. Adhere that 1″ area to the card back so just the right side flips up. Add Basic White 7/8 x 4 1/4 to the 1″ area then add Country Lace DSP 3/4 x 4 1/4 over the Basic White.

Holding two layers of Country Lace together (both cut 3 x 4 7/16) & slowly tear at an angle – short side to short side – creating this fun edge. Now separate these pieces and add to a Basic White panel 4 7/16 x 4 1/4, leaving space as shown. Add to the Crumb Cake card front. (If you have seen the falut line technique in videos, I have done this just a bit differently – in that I added the Basic White panel to fit the book binder front) Stamp the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink using the Blooming Phrases stamp set – an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE and available May 6! Because this is a photopolymer stamp, I curved it to fit the curve of the DSP :O) I added three Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the word happy, taping off some of the elements of that stamp before inking with Crumb Cake ink. Then I stamped the word ‘birthday’, also in Crumb Cake ink. These also come from the Blooming Phrases stamp set. Next I stamped the balloons in Memento ink – these come from Spring Corners stamp set, currently available in the ONLINE store. I colored these with Stampin’ Blends: Balmy Blue, Summer splash & Pool Party then added Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.

For the envelope, more of the retiring Country Lace DSP adhered to the flap & trimmed to fit. I colored the balloons in the same manner using the same Stampin’ Blends: Pool Party, Balmy Blue & Summer Splash – and yes, Wink of Stella.

I love the contrast of the balloon colors with the very soft colors of the DSP – they really stand out nicely.
