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! Layered Thoughts CAS 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Thoughtful Journey 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts CAS 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiments from the Layered Thoughts stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Thoughtful Journey DSP.

Stampin' Up! Layered Thoughts CAS 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the stamped panel to a Cajun Craze mat with Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Petal Pink card base with Stampin’ Seal.

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.
