Stampin’ Up! Charming Day Thanks

God Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. I hope you a had a great weekend!! We all went to the baseball game Saturday night, it’s always so much fun getting together outside of work with all my fellow employees. It was the Yankees minor league game, the Patriots, which they are located about 10 minutes from my home. They won the game and it was ended by a great firework display.

I have a quick card for you today playing with some Online Exclusives again. Hopefully next week I’ll be sharing some sneak peeks from the new September-December 2025 Mini Catalog and September Online Exclusives. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! 2025-2027 In-Color Sale & August Technique Online Class Registration

Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend!! I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be at work all day today, but we’ll be closing early for a company team building event. For the past few years, we have all gotten tickets to a local minor league baseball game. We’ll all be going again tonight. They got us a couple boxes to accommodate all the employees along with food and drinks for us. When the game is over, we will get to see fireworks. We always have so much fun at this event; we’re like one big family. I think there is more socializing then actually watching the game though. Everyone is so relaxed, talking and not being interrupted by the customers. I’m really looking forward to going tonight.

Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts CAS

Good HOT Tuesday morning stamping friends. It’s supposed to hit just about 100 here in NJ today with the real feel of 110. Add the humidity and poor air quality to that and you have an inside crafting day. I did head out for a quick walk early this morning before the heat got too bad.

I have a super quick and easy card for you today for those times when you are heading out the door and realize you forgot the birthday card. I think I put this one together in less than 10 minutes. The stamp set I used along with some of the beautiful DSP makes a perfect quick card that others will think you took much longer to make. It took me longer to take the pictures than to make it. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Fold

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! Are you getting ready for the weekend? I was finally able to get outside and do some weeding and dead heading to my flowers yesterday. I spent about 5 hours outside and only made a small dent. I decided it was time to call it quits when it was 85 with a real feel of 100, and it was going up to over 90. This morning I’m heading out really early again to do the same in my backyard gardens. It’s supposed to be in the upper 90’s today. Hopefully I won’t be out there as long.

I played with some Online Exclusives for today’s card.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Sales Tax Holiday

Twelve states and Puerto Rico 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 or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the spreadsheet below and mark your calendar!

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.
