Stampin’ UP! Velveteen & Velvet Flowering Meadow Thank You for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning, y’all It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a color challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table.  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

Our color challenge had me pulling open the cabinet drawer with the Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP so…I just went on with it and used the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle, too!  I used them all to make a pretty thank you card.  Take a look-see:

And – I’m betting you’ve guessed our colors for this week’s challenge! 🙂

I started by adhering a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP to the front of my Cloud Cover card base using Liquid Glue.

I matted two more pieces of the DSP on Daffodil Delight cardstock and adhered them both to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Using the die in the Flowering Meadow set, I cut out one of the two-flower image from a piece of the Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP.

I used more dies to cut out three flowers from Barely Blush Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper, three leaves from Peaceful Pine Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper and three flower centers from white Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper.

I adhered the flower centers to the Barely Blush flowers using Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered the leaves and two of the flowers to the card base with Liquid Glue.

I tied a bow from two lengths of Linen Thread and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.

On a piece of Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP, I stamped the Flowering Meadow sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink.  Then I cut it out with the smallest rectangle Nested Essentials die.

I adhered it over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the final flower to the sentiment die cut with a little Liquid Glue.  Then I added some small Dreamy Flowers and the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped a second Flowering Meadow sentiment in Peaceful Pine on a Basic White panel.  In the corner, I stamped a stem from Flowering Meadow in Peaceful Pine ink.  Then I added the flowers in Barely Blush ink and the flower centers in Berry Burst.

I adhered the panel to the inside of the Cloud Cover card base and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Flowering Meadow flower on the front…

… and more of the Flowering Meadow Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  I have really fallen in love with this Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP (and it should be back in stock around 3 August!) – it’s just so beautiful with the pretty colors and tactile flocking!  The coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle is your perfect source for gorgeous stamped and die cut flowers for all your projects!

WANT TO JOIN US?

NEW JOINING PROCESS 

As part of our new, more streamlined and easy, join process, all first-time demonstrators will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community! I’m going to keep the insides a secret but…there’s some fun goodies to help welcome you to the team!

 

How the New Process Works

Step 1: Join

New demonstrators will:

  1. choose a team leader.
  2. accept required agreements.
  3. enter a few personal details.
  4. pay the $100 join fee.
  5. click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

  • their demonstrator ID.
  • a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

  • Valued at $125.
  • Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
  • Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I got asked all the time if new folks could go over $125 for their Starter Kit and I hated having to say “no”!).
  • Got a list LONGER than $125?  Easy peasy! Any amount above the coupon code value:
    • receives the demonstrator discount.
    • counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
    • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).

Additional perk for new demonstrators

Stampin’ UP! Everyday Sincerely Noted Under the Sun Card

Good morning and Happy Happy Hawwwmp Day, y’all!  Are you having a good week?  I hope so!

Today’s card is super cute.  Super Quick.  And Super Easy!  All thanks to the Under the Sun AND Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Epehemera packs!  I chose a few from each pack and added them to a cheerful card front from the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP.  Take a look-see:

Stampin' UP! Everyday Sincerely Noted Under the Sun Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I played with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge again for some of the elements on this one. This time I went down the middle: Summer – Free – Layers and across the middle: Any Color – Free – Sentiment.

I started by adhering a 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ piece of Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP to a Calypso Coral mat for the card front.

Then – I pulled of the Under the Sun Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and…stuck on a cute van – all ready to head to the beach!  These die cuts are self-sticking so…super easy!

Stampin' UP! Everyday Sincerely Noted Under the Sun Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I adhered a sun from the pack and a large cloud – both from the Under the Sun Mix & Match Ephemera Pack.

Then I added a small cloud from the pack with a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a white Baker’s Twine bow with Liquid Glue.

The sentiment is from the Sincerely Noted Mix & Match Ephemera Pack – I adhered it over the bow with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I colored five light Sunset Sparkle Sequins with my Dark Timid Tiger Stampin’ Blend.

I added the colored sequins here and there and the card front was done!

On the inside, I added a watermelon slice from the Under the Sun Mix & Match Ephemera Pack to a Basic White panel.

Stampin' UP! Everyday Sincerely Noted Under the Sun Card - Stamps-N-Lingers

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of my Misty Moonlight card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got another watermelon slice from the Under the Sun Mix & Match Ephemera Pack on the front…

…and more of the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  The Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP has a ton of fun, colorful paper designs to choose from – and it’s perfect to pair with any of our Mix & Match Ephemera Packs – like the Under the Sun and Sincerely Noted Packs!  Put a few pieces together on a card base and…you’re ready to mail!

2026 BACK TO SCHOOL SALES TAX HOLIDAYS!

Thirteen states – plus Puerto Rico! – will have Sales Tax Holidays for school supplies in July and August and some Stampin’ Up! items qualify for the tax break in those states! According to state statutes, “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes” are eligible. And – this includes select Stampin’ Up! products! BOOM!

The states with upcoming tax holidays are:  Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts**, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio**, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Puerto Rico.  So, if you live in one of those states or Puerto Rico, take a second to download the sheet below and mark your calendar!  NOTE: The table on the left shows the states, their dates, and the limit.  The right-hand table shows the SU! Items that qualify! And yes – ALL the Stampin’ Dimensionals qualify!! 😎

**MA & OH Special Note: Unlike the other participating states, Massachusetts and Ohio are not limited to the products listed in this document.                      Additional current Stampin’ Up! products may qualify based on each state’s exemption rules and price limits. (MA limit: $2,500 per item; OH limit: $20 per item.)

How Exemption Limits Work: Sales tax will not be applied to qualifying items priced at or below the exemption limit specified for each state. There is no limit to the quantity of qualifying items that may be purchased, provided each individual item does not exceed the applicable state limit.

Please note:  You have to place your order with Stampin’ Up! DURING the tax holiday period in your state in order to receive these items tax-free (so – that’s from MIDNIGHT local time on the first day to MIDNIGHT local time on the last day of the tax holiday).  Also, keep in mind that this is a STATE SALES TAX holiday and the state statute may not apply to county, city, and special jurisdiction taxes.

For those wondering about Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey and Wisconsin, those states will NOT have the sales tax holiday this year.  Whaawaaaaa…. 🙁

If you’re in one of the thirteen states or Puerto Rico – happy tax-saving!
