Good morning and happy Monday! I hope you’ve got a good week ahead. If you’re working, here’s to an EASY work-week!
I’ve got another peek (of the Sneak variety!) at the new Radiant Sunflowers bundle – this is coming soon in the Sept-Dec 2026 Catalog! I added an embossed card front with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder – which is available right now! Take a look-see:
The layout for this card was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.
I did a quick video on how to make this card – which is posted on Instagram. If you’d like to give that a watch – click here!
I started by embossing a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Secret Sea cardstock in the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Whisper White ink pad – I scraped it flat across the panel. The white ink hits just the raised parts – enhancing the design!
Then I adhered the panel to the front of my Secret Sea card base using Liquid Glue.
I cut a 1 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of new Winter Dreams Specialty DSP (this is part of the Alpine Winter Suite – a new Online Exclusive product coming on 1 Sept) and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
Then I adhered a 3/8″ x 3 3/4″ strip of Golden Glow 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Paper with more Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the large floral from Radiant Sunflowers in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I colored the flowers with the Light Golden Glow, Light Cajun Craze and Light Crisp Cantaloupe Stampin’ Blends.
The leaves are done in Light Mossy Meadow and the flower centers in Light Pecan Pie.
Using the Dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend, I colored all around the stamped image – then I cut it out with the die in the Radiant Sunflowers die set.
I adhered the die cut to the card base with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped JUST the word “Hello” from the sentiment in Radiant Sunflowers in Secret Sea ink. Then I cut it out with the middle banner in the Three Banner Punch and adhered it with Liquid Glue!
I added some new Golden Glow Painted Patch Adhesive-backed Dots (coming on 1 Sept in the Sept-Dec 2026 Catalog) and the card front was done.
On the inside, I stamped the Radiant Sunflowers image in the corner of a Basic White panel in Tuxedo Black and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Secret Sea card base and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Radiant Sunflowers on the front…
…and some of the new Sunflower Fields DSP (part of the suite and available on 1 Sept) on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow – I just love the new Sunflower Fields Suite – the Radiant Sunflowers bundle and the Sunflower Fields DSP are just a few of the gorgeous goodies in the suite. I’m also liking the new white-flocked Winter Dreams Specialty DSP – this is a new Online Exclusive and part of its own beautiful suite! So many wonderful new things on the way!
I hope you like and…are adding to your gotta-get-it list for 1 Sept!

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!
