Stampin’ Up! Branching Out Book Fold

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the last week of August. Can you believe August is just about over? It’s bittersweet for me, one part of me doesn’t want summer to end and the other can’t wait to wear cozy Sweaters & sweatshirts again.

I mixed a new stamp set with some older DSP 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.

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.
