Good Monday morning stamping friends. Welcome to the new week. I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We’re ending another month which also kind of ends the summer here. Once September hits in NJ schools are back in and it seems like the summer is in the past.
Today’s card uses all new items coming in the September-December 2023 Mini Catalog. They will be available starting on September 6th, unless you are a demonstrator or want to be one. In that case you could order everything early. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Cheers To The Season Cling Stamp Set along with the All About Autumn 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! Autumn Leaves Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! So Sincere Cling Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.
My design is from Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #600.
My colors are from Color Throwdown Challenge #757. These colors were a bit of a challenge for me since I wouldn’t normally put them together.
I started by adhering a panel of the gorgeous woodgrain DSP from the All About Autumn DSP to a Gray Granite card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a panel of Coastal Cabana to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut a panel of Pool Party using the 2nd largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut circle to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the leaf image from the Cheers To The Season stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I fussy cut the leaf using Paper Snips. I adhered the leaf to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a strip of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Garden Green Ink. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Glossy Dots Assortments to the card front.
For the inside, on a panel of Basic White I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set in Gray Granite Ink. I stamped the leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the sides of the panel. I adhered a strip of All About Autumn DSP to the bottom of the panel. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Coastal Cabana mat then to the inside of the Gray Granite card base.
To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the leaf image from the Autumn Leaves stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of All About Autumn DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card, and these items are on your wish list for September 6th. Happy Stamping!!

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS: 4G2N3MDT
Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog! Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.
Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards!
Happy Stamping, Karen

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Sales Tax Holiday Going On!!!
Thirteen 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 last state New Jersey going on August 26th – September 4th. If you live in NJ, take a second to download the spreadsheet Click Here 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, Louisiana, Virginia, and Wisconsin, those states have suspended the sales tax holiday again this year.

Do you want all of the gorgeous new designer papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Mini Catalog but can’t afford everything? I’m doing a Designer Series Paper Share! What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Minil Catalog. If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Annual Catalog, it would cost you over $170.00 plus shipping.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2023 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!! I’m placing my share order early on September 6th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of September 11th.
How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can! Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ × 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ x 6″ since they’re already precut.
