Sales Tax Holiday July-August

The 2026 back-to-school sales tax holiday season is upon us!  During select dates in July and August, thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies.

Good news: this includes select Stampin’ Up! products!  According to state statutes, “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes” are eligible.

You can find the list on the 2026 Back-to-School Tax Holiday Information handout.  The handout also includes participating states, tax-exempt products, sales tax holiday dates, and information about how these exemptions work.  Click on the image below to open the full size handout:

Please note that you must place your Stampin’ Up! orders during the tax holiday period to receive qualifying items tax-free.  Orders must be placed between midnight on the first day and midnight on the last day of the applicable tax holiday. Also, keep in mind that this is a state sales tax holiday; the exemption may not apply to county, city, or special jurisdiction taxes.

Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin have suspended the sales tax holiday this year.

The tax holidays are already happening in Alabama and Puerto Rico!  So if you live in those areas, get your order placed this weekend to get the Stampin’ Up! back to school items tax free!

Introducing one of the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This is everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

  • Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
  • Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
  • Silicone platform station
  • Silicone cooling pad
  • Power cord
  • Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

  • Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
  • The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
  • A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
  • The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
  • Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store beginning July 10 to see and order the new system!

To ensure we can get the products for you the sign-up time is very short. We want to ensure that we are able to get the embossing folders for everyone and the bundle if you wish to order it. We are offering the bundle to you at an additional 10% discount (see price on form). We will be creating 6 different cards during the class including 2 Fun Fold cards. Click Here to register.

During sign up you will have the option to add additional items to your order that you can take advantage of at no additional shipping cost.  These items are optional, however if you want to recreate the cards you will need them.

Last Week to Sign Up for July Online Exclusive Product Share

Hi stamping friends. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and are celebrating your dads. It was a busy day at work yesterday as expected and I came home to trying to get a thousand things done before it got dark. Unfortunately, by the time I went to make a card I couldn’t keep my eyes open. My plans were to get up and get one done this morning, but once again I had a lot of things I had to get done first thing and time got away from me. When noon came, I decided it just wasn’t going to happen. I promise I’ll be back tomorrow with a card for you. In the meantime, it’s Father’s Day and my husband said he was going to make homemade pizzas, which you know requires my help.

Final Week to order July Online Exclusive Product Share

I’m offering a small product share from the upcoming July Online Exclusives. I’m offering a Paper Share and/or an Embellishment & Ribbon Share. If you click on the image below you can open the flyer with the products coming in July.

I’m offering a Paper Share and a Ribbon & Embellishment Share from the July 2026 Online Exclusives, and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on July 1st 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 July 6th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous and fun new Papers in the upcoming July 2026 Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Papers from the Online Exclusives. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!  If you were to purchase all of the papers from the Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $90.00 plus shipping.

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the 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!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $10.50 plus $7.00 for shipping

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Frightfully Fun (6)
  • Frightfully Fun Two-Tone Cardstock (6)
  • Spooktacular (6×6) (4)
  • 2026-2028 In-Color Gingham (5)
  • A Stitched Season (6)
  • Violet Dreams Specialty (5)

If you’d like double shares of the paper, I’m offering those too! I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ 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.

Double Paper Share – $21.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping

Ribbon/Embellishment Share – $12.50 plus $7.00 Shipping

All ribbons and Embellishments will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product.

One-Fourth of a Roll of each:

  • Black 3/8″ Iridescent Ribbon
  • Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon
  • Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Ribbon
  • Adhesive-Backed Bats Ghosts & Dots (30)
  • Adhesive-Backed Blooms (15)
  • Adhesive-Backed Mini Christmas Buttons (10)

Double Ribbon & Embellishment Share – $25.00 Plus $7.00 Shipping and you will be getting 1/2 of the roll of each ribbon.

Anyone is welcome to join in my shares (please note, I can only ship to addresses within the US).  To make ordering the shares a little easier, I have created a form for you to submit, that way you can order any combination of shares you want. Click Here for the form.

Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
6

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. We made it home safely from the Incentive trip, now to get back to normal life.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #228a is Summer By The Sea. There are 2 Inspiration Photos this month, the other is #228b Christmas in July. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Lighthouse 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle and the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the overall theme along with the lighthouses and colors in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 228a & 228b.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast for The Card Concepts

Posted on by
4

Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. It’s starting to warm up a little bit here. It’s still pretty cool for this time of the year. I’m usually planting my flowers and vegetables by now, but the nights are still a little too cool.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #227 is Seaside Adventures. I made a Fun Fold Shadow Box card for you. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle and the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my Fun Fold Shadow Box card today. I was inspired by the overall theme along with the sailboat in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 227.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Wrap a piece of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine around the scored end 2 times. Thread the baker’s twine through a Loose Anchor Trinket and tie a knot. Adhere the scored end to the back of the card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere a pane of Scenic Coast DSP to the front of the card base. Using the Sunset Coast Dies, cut the center of the scored Night of Navy panel. Stamp the bottom of the panel with the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Sunset Coast Dies, cut 2 clouds from a panel of Basic White. Cut one of the clouds in half using paper Snips. Adhere the clouds to the top of the card front.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Fold the ends of the card front panel and adhere it to the card front with Tear & Tape. Stamp the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the larger sailboat image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Stampin' Up! Sunset Coast Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. Stamp the larger boat image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere a panel of Scenic Coast DSP to the envelope flap.

Good Monday morning stamping friends, Happy Star Wars Day!! Are you a Star Wars or Star Trek Fan? Welcome to the 1st full week of May. How was everyone’s weekend? Yesterday was our monthly meeting with presentations. We did a lot of laughing and chatting. This was the last in person meeting we’ll be going to in NJ

Today’s card was designed and presented by my friend, team member and partner in crime Tara Carpenter. I changed the orientation of mine, but it’s the same design, If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley Grateful 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Lily of the Valley Bundle, Valley in Bloom Designer Series Paper and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley Grateful 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut 3 of the 2nd smallest square Stylish Shapes Dies from a panel of Basic Beige. On 2 of the panels stamp the small flower image from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. On the 3rd square, stamp the sentiment from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Color the flowers using the new White Gel Pen (available May 5). Cut a panel of Secret Sea using the grid die from the Lily of the Valley Dies.

Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley Grateful 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stampin' Up! Lily of the Valley Grateful 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the large flower image from Lily of the Valley stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the side of the panel. Color the flowers using the new White Gel Pen. Adhere a panel of Valley in Bloom DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Secret Sea mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.
